Author's POV"Where is the young master?" she asked Dorothy as she realized that she hadn't seen him for the past two days."Did the young master not tell you, young lady?" Dorothy, who was busy cooking lunch in the kitchen, replied without looking at Xevia, who had been following her everywhere like a chick to its mother."Nope,""He is going on a business trip." Xevia did this as a step in carrying out her plan. She would need Dorothy one day, and Xevia knew it."Young lady, give it a try," Dorothy took a few spoonfuls of her homemade cream soup and asked Xevia to try it."Is it salty enough?""It's delicious, just like my grandmother's cooking.""Oh, really?""Yes," Xevia replied with sparkling eyes, even though her heart wanted to curse every time she remembered her grandmother. It was still fresh in Xevia's memory how that older woman named Lizbeth kicked her and her mother out of the house just because her mother refused to be used as a sex slave by a cruel alpha. Yes, that tim
Author's POV"Hold my hand..." Xander asked her to hold his hand, but she was silent and didn't want to do what Xander wished for."Please, because I left my wand behind," Xander continued.Xevia let out a long sigh and took Xander's hand, "okay.""Where to?" asked Xevia."To my room.""To get your gift."Xevia sighed lazily, but she felt she had no choice but to follow Xander's will.Reaching in front of Xander's room, the man then, with some difficulty, took the key from his coat pocket."Where have you been the past two days?" Xevia asked suddenly."Me?" Xander asked back."Yes, you. Who else?""I took care of some work -""Why didn't you say goodbye to me? Isn't it important for me to know where my mate went?""Didn't I hear you wrong?" asked Xander."Since when do you care about me?"Xevia hissed and spat at Xander's annoying reaction.They went inside, "sit down," Xander pulled her to the couch. He then picked up something on the nightstand and handed it to Xevia. It was a jewel
He allowed her to go out and walk around, but there would be a driver to pick her up and drop her off. There was only one thing he couldn't change, and that was that Xander would only allow Xevia to walk and travel around the town of Izlav.***Xevia's POVThis morning, I woke up feeling happy for the first time. Of course, I was delighted after hearing Xander's decision to give me a little sovereignty. Yes, although Mr. Clayton's son Elijah would be my chauffeur, it was no big deal.Yesterday Aunt Dorothy said that this town is impenetrable to any wolf and only those with special permission can enter here.So I doubt whether Alarick can enter the town of Izlav."Mrs. Balstair, where would you like me to take you?" asked Elijah, who I had been taking around Izlav town for the past twenty minutes."Are you tired?" I asked."Of course not, ma'am, this city never tires me, and it never bores me. I love to wandering around it. Every corner is so beautiful and mesmerizing to the eye, loo;
Author's POV"Good afternoon." A waitress approached them, and handed over the menu, making their conversation cut off midway."Please choose the menu, Xevia, eat healthy food, because I want our future child to be a healthy child," Alarick said as he handed her the menu book."Thank you."Xevia looked at the man in front of her with a flowery feeling.Her first love and the man who occupied the highest throne in her heart. Alarick continued to flash a sweet smile, his shady eyes making the woman in front of him unable to move. His light and easy-going demeanor was alluring. He was not a cold and rigid man like Xander. If Xander was the snow in winter, then Alarick was the warm summer sun."Can we meet again after this meeting?" Xevia felt a sudden sadness as she realized that this could be the first and last meeting with her former lover."What do you mean? Don't you want to see me again?" asked Alarick."Of course, I really want to see you again, but-" Xevia looked down, her eyes gl
Author's POVDo I have to do it? This is crazy. How could I harm someone else? But, I still love Alarick very much. Even my baby wants him.Xevia rubbed her beautiful face in despair. Pacing restlessly in her room. She was so confused, her hands couldn't stop shaking. Staring at the liquid in the crystal bottle scared her to death."It's now or never.""Wait a minute. I'm not ready yet.""No... no. This is wrong. This is not right. But, Alarick is waiting for me. He promised me. It's impossible for him to lie. I can see the earnestness in his eyes."Xevia twisted her fingers that were covered in cold sweat. Her feet did not seem to be on the ground. She was so pressed down by frustration mixed with fear that her breathing was labored.She stroked her rounded and enlarged belly to quell the panic. Xevia still remembered when the fetus inside her stomach moved aggressively during her encounter with Alarick earlier. "How am I going to do that? Sneak into Xander's room? If I get caught l
Author's POVXander eventually gives Xevia permission to do whatever she likes. Including volunteering at the shelter. His hardened nature softened after Mr. Clayton and Dorothy advised him.One week has passed, and now Xevia has volunteered at the shelter.***As usual during the day, Xevia went to the shelter and did her duty there to entertain and tell the orphans about the wolf knight fairy tale. And made out with Alarick secretly afterward, she fell asleep in Alarick's apartment and went home late.When Xevia arrived, it was already pitch black. Mr. Clayton had turned off the lights earlier than usual. The house was deserted, so Xevia slowly and carefully went inside. Hoping no one would see her coming. Because it was actually too late to go home. She wasn't supposed to be home past eleven at night, but Alarick took her out to dinner, which made her go home later. She walked towards the stairs slowly before a dehamanized voice stopped her in her tracks. "Xander..." Xevia gaspe
Tonight Xander could no longer wait to mate with Xevia. The wolf inside him was crying out for it. Tonight was the full night when he and his mate were supposed to mate in wolf form.But tonight would also be a crucial night because if they were to mate in wolf form then the guard around Izlav's urban forest would have to be tightened. After mating, the two wolves would usually hunt animals and travel around the forest together.Of course she didn't want her mate's rare wolf form to be known to many people. The few information leaks that eventually resulted in so many other wolves hunting Xevia were enough to overwhelm her.***Xevia woke up in the middle of the night, as her sense of hearing caught the tinkling of a piano strung in beautiful notes. Slowly she got out of bed, and still in a semi-conscious state she made her way to the door. Her steps halted at the doorway. The beautiful, melodious sound was coming from downstairs. "Could it be Xander?" she wondered to herself. She
Since Xevia's rejection of him, the man felt his pride was deeply hurt, so he decided to silence Xevia. And let her do as she pleased. ***Like today, when Xevia said that she would be home late, Xander didn't respond at all excessively other than nodding his head."Grandpa and I used to come here a lot," he responded, glancing at Xevia's beautiful face. The woman opened the windshield wide, letting her hair flutter in the wind. The curl that formed on her lips never ceased to expand. Xevia then turned her attention to Alarick. She looked at him for a moment. Xevia planted a sweet kiss on Alarick's cheek. "I love you..." Xevia whispered softly. "I love you too..." Alarick replied with a smile. Alarick took her hand and squeezed it gently. After traveling for almost five hours, they arrived at a small house. Xevia then followed Alarick into the house that looked beautiful and quiet. Everything looked clean and well-maintained.Xevia chuckled after noticing the funny expression on
The image of the man who closely resembled the photo of Xevia's late father disappeared after saying those words. It was a message about Xevia having to take care of herself because the mission she was on was not an easy one. The mission required her to kill someone. A good person who would be able to do something for their country even if it wasn't in the way they had imagined it to be at that time. She didn’t think anyone had expected her to succeed so soon. But, as a member of the Special Task Force and the commander of the second team, she was supposed to have more resources than anyone else present. Her abilities were already remarkable enough to make people look up to her, and when she took on this mission without being fully briefed… it made them realize how much of a problem she really was. She hadn't wanted to come back. Not until she had seen what the world had become. But now, she was here, in the middle of the enemy. And she was going to go through with this. She coul
Xevia ran through the dark forest, trying to avoid the pursuing old wolf behind her. Her bare feet made no sound on the damp mossy ground, but she knew that the big wolf was gaining steadily on her with every step she took. She’d been running since the sun went down; all of yesterday.The woods around them were thick and dense, a place that could hide anything. Even though it was dark now, she could still see the huge tree trunks in every direction, some almost twice as tall as a human being. Their branches spread out overhead, blocking off everything else and offering shelter from the cold autumn night wind. They were also too far away for her to make any noise, but still close enough that if Xevia stopped. After feeling a little safe, Xevia transformed herself into a wolf so that she could defeat the old alpha behind her. In her conscious state, she could feel how her body turned into a wolf with a tail of fire. With the animalistic strength born of pure instinct, she slashed at the
A beautiful full moon night. Xevia and the old alpha stood at the edge of the ravine looking up at the sky. "Soon it will be time..." said the old man.At exactly midnight, Xevia would transform into a wolf. It had been a week now that she'd learned to control her transformations. "Yes." She agreed. The old man was one of the few who knew that she'd become this way before... when her father had left. She had been raised by a kind beta woman, but the old man had insisted on taking care of her. He didn't know the truth about her origins though. He couldn't understand what the pack did. And he never would, until he saw it with his own eyes. The old man looked at her carefully as if trying to judge whether or not he could trust her. His golden eyes were warm, even through the dark. He was an older male werewolf of average height with white hair and wrinkles around his eyes and mouth. He was wearing some sort of military uniform. He smiled softly, "You're ready then, are you?" he aske
Today, a gloomy day, the sky is filled with clouds and the wind is blowing hard. The sun has hidden itself behind the thick cover of gray that covers the whole earth, making it as dark as night and as quiet as the grave. It’s not unusual, the world is changing fast and the weather will get worse soon, but it's still gloomy and she know why it is that it is so dark out now, it's raining. She can feel it too when she look at the grey sky and even though it is raining hard. The old alpha, who did not want to give his name, asked Xevia to follow him. "Sir, where are you taking me?"The old man crossed his index finger in front of his lips to signal Xevia to be quiet. He stopped walking then looked around for some time before he turned to face her again. "Follow," he replied softly and walked away from where they were standing just moments ago. She had no choice but to follow, though it felt like an invisible force held her back. But when Xeveia opened her mouth to ask what is going on s
Xevia looked at the old man whom Alisha called grandfather while paying close attention."Who are you? And how did you find this remote place?" The old man frowned in astonishment.The place where he lived was not a place easily accessible to ordinary people. And it could not be found by humans. So it was certain that only the descendants of lycans and wolves could find this place."I-"Xevia walked up to the old man."I am the daughter of Lorenzo Farkass." She replied in a calm tone. Then she looked down at her hands for a moment before looking back up again and smiling warmly at him."My name is Xevia. It is my pleasure to make your acquaintance."The old man stared at Xevia with wide eyes for a moment before his expression shifted into that of an amused smile."Lorenzo Farkass did you say? You must be joking!""Do you know my father?" Xevia said curiously."Yes. I knew your dad. He was a very talented man." The old man nodded. "But, I didn't know that he had a daughter?""It's a l
After her encounter with alpha Roman, as well as several other alphas who are known as one of the most powerful and trained alphas, Xevia finally continued her journey. Of course, after getting some clues from Beta Siege about where she should look for the whereabouts of the old alpha who trained her father to become the strongest warrior.Xevia deliberately asked for help from these alphas, she needed support because if it came to Luciad and Ivyari stepping in to fight her then she needed reinforcements so that her intention to take revenge and destroy them could be carried out.Xevia knew it would not be easy, but she had promised herself that she would not give up.She promised to give a better life to Leon and everyone who believed in her."Alpha Roman, uncle Siege, thank you for receiving me so well. Thank you for your help and the banquet, I take my leave. I hope that when this mission is over, I can meet you again." Xevia said while accepting the bag that had been filled with m
Today Beta Siege took Xevia to the place where he and Xevia's late father used to spend time together.It was there that they met the mysterious alpha who eventually became the teacher who trained her father and turned him into an invincible warrior.Her father was a half-blood warrior who was ostracised for his unique abilities, he was banished and considered a curse. However, in the end her father was the one who saved the wolf clan from destruction, saving many of the alphas he hated from being killed and attacked by demon-worshipping immortal wolves.Now, Xevia and Siege stood at the top of a green hill. In front of them lay a thick mist that made the hill feel like it was above the clouds. It was the same color as the sky on cloudy days. The sun could barely shine through, its rays were blocked by the dense fog. But despite this, she still felt warm. "How about it?" asked Beta Siege glancing at the young woman beside him who was looking at the scene before her with a face of amaz
"Mum, take it easy," Alarick tried to calm his mother, who had been emotionally explosive for several days."Calm down? How can you ask me to calm down at a time like this?" Lourve shouted back at her son."Yes, I'm asking you to calm down, because I'm sure I can fix everything.""Everything? Are you sure you can clean up all this mess?" Lourve shouted again, this time lowering her voice slightly as the argument with her son was not something she wanted to be heard by the Luciad family who were now hosting them.After the failure of the ritual, both Lourve and Alarick no longer dared to go home.The North Aminour region was now controlled by her first son, whom she had put in a dungeon for refusing to join the sect of demon worshippers she led.The commoners who had favoured his eldest son from the start revolted and freed Domani Ivyari. They then forced the councillors to crown Domani that very night, disregarding the other rule of waiting for the presence of Lourve or any other broth
"Who do you want to see?" Some guards- they were the omegas of uncle Siege's men."Uncle Siege, is he home?""Who are you?" The guard looked at Xevia with a face full of suspicion."I'm Xevia Brielle Farkass, tell that to uncle Siege. I'm sure he recognises me."The guard furrowed his brow."Wait here!" he snapped and went inside, leaving Xevia still outside the fence.***"Beta Siege, someone is looking for you," the omega guarding the house contacted Beta Siege using the interphone embedded in the front wall."Who?" The man's hoarse voice answered."Xevia Brielle Farkass-"What? Did he already know her true identity? How is that possible? Who told her?Beta Siege muttered to himself."Bring the girl in. Take her straight to my office!" His order which was immediately obeyed by the omega guards.***"Miss Farkass, you are welcome to enter by our master. Come with me..." The Omega guard who had been cynical and stern changed his attitude towards Xevia instantly.The omega man became mo
