Xevia's POVXander asked me to sit in the kitchen and watch him make hot chocolate like a professional bartender. I had to admit that I was impressed. I never knew Xander could do this since he was blind. But it turns out that his hands are very skillful and look so natural as they go through the motions of pouring boiling water into a small ceramic cup.Honestly, I didn't like being here with him, but I had no choice. My ego told me to get out of the kitchen and pretend that I wasn't hungry. But my body was doing the exact opposite of my ego. My body sat sweetly waiting for Xander to finish making hot chocolate and sandwiches for me. How embarrassing!Kick!My baby kicked hard again as if he couldn't wait for me to feed him."Be patient, honey," I said as I stroked my belly, throbbing from his hard kicks."Do you want extra ketchup? Or extra mayonnaise?" Xander asked while opening the fridge, and his hand groped one by one the things in the refrigerator until he found the ketchup bo
Xevia's POVWe stopped in front of a white mansion with a nude statue in front of it. Interesting. The owner of this house must be an art lover or artist himself. But Archer doesn't look like an artist. He seems more like a model. He had a strong jawline, defined cheekbones, a straight nose, and bright eyes, which were as clear as crystal. His body is well-proportioned. He has an athletic build, and he is 6'1 feet tall. Is there anything else a woman wants? Besides the perfect-looking Archer? If I could choose, of course, I would pick him over Xander. At least, that's what I thought before I walked into this luxurious mansion. But that thought was devastated, crumbling apart when I saw two girls sitting and giggling in his living room, drinking a glass of wine, and they were topless, their breasts hanging around to the left and right. What the hell happened here? Are these girls come from prehistoric times that they have no shame wandering around the house without wearing a bra or a
Xevia's POVWe - Archer and I — ate breakfast in silence. We were busy observing the contents of each other's plates and heads, except Xander.Xander kept speaking; he asked Archer many things about his little brother's plans, which apparently wanted to continue his education at an art university abroad.However, Archer did not look excited when answering his foster brother's questions. I really just shut up and observed; as a new person in their family, I don't want to be said not to know the limit and over-interfere. After all, it's none of my business."Archer, tell me, is there anything I don't know?" Xander raised his note.When the question left Xander's lips, I could feel the shift in Archer's expression."They followed me." My eyes changed direction to Archer's trembling hands that were wringing out the napkin next to his plate.Xander's smile faded away to be replaced with a tightened jaw."Since when have they been following you?""Two days ago, I could feel their presence a
Xevia's POVXander took me to a beautiful park located on the edge of the city. A garden surrounded by lakes and maple trees. A garden where the ground was covered with wet green grass."I hope you like this place," Xander said to me as I got out of the car."Do you come here often?""I don't come here often. I have no time to relax and picnic like a human," he said as he walked beside me. He held a wooden stick in his hand and tapped the end on the ground to see if the road ahead was smooth or rocky."This is a beautiful place," I murmured as I observed the surroundings. I saw a two-story building at the end of the park. A small building made entirely of wood, I didn't know what the function of the building was, it looked like a house, but it was strange to have a place in a public facility like this."Whose house is that?" I asked Xander as if he could see what I was pointing."That's mine," he replied with a warm smile."I guess we can't just build houses near public facilities and
Xevia'sHow does it feel to give up the rest of your life for someone you may never love? And how does it feel to be betrayed by someone we love so much? Someone who we think loves us as much as we love him. But it turns out it was all just a mirage illusion. Alarick was an asshole who took advantage of our feelings. I loved him so much, but it turns out he was the one who broke my heart, and he didn’t even care. It’s funny. How easily I fell in love with an arrogant idiot. Only one word that suits me; foolish!Nonetheless, I guess this doesn't surprise me. This kind of thing happens a lot these days. The world is full of people who can pretend to love just for lust and egoism without thinking about the outcomes. They are thoughtless and controlling. They enjoy taking benefit of other people's weaknesses without consideration about how they will affect someone who has already given them up everything, literally everything, until they didn't have anything left for themselves.Well the
Xevia's POV"Sister-in-law, don't worry. I'll take care of you while my brother is away. Just tell me what you want to do, and I'll obey and follow your orders." Archer took a sip of the hot coffee in the white cup. He said as he stared at the ocean in front of us. My heart skipped a beat, but I managed to keep up impressions."Oh really? And if something unexpected happens, would you be able to handle that?" I asked with a fake smile on my lips, hoping that Archer would get the message that I was scared of this unknown situation. Archer's eyebrows raised slightly like he was thinking about my words. He placed his coffee cup down on the table between him and me. "You know," Archer started, not breaking our eye contact, "you are really interesting. You don't seem to fear danger, unlike other people who usually give a shit about their safety. That's why I admire you so much.""So what if I have a fear?" I replied in a calm tone."Fear? So you have fear, too?" I nodded with a chuckle,
Xevia's POV "Those alphas deserve it," Archer said with sharp eyes directed at me."Why do you think that?""Come on sister in law-""Stop calling me that. Call me Xevia, do you understand?"Archer grimaced and chuckled, then nodded in agreement. "Alright.""It's good that you understand.""Do you know why we, the Rogues hate the alphas so much?" Archer smiled slightly as he asked me that. I didn't know if he was seriously asking this or if it was a trap."Because you guys are criminals and committed many dreadfulness and criminalities. That's why those Alphas decided to expel you from the pack.""Then, what happened to you? Did you also commit crimes and dreadfulness, so they expelled you?"Checkmate. Archer's words made me instantly tongue-tied. There were no words I could utter to deny this. He was right, and I was one of the Rogues. Now I am even the mate of one of the most reputable men in this forbidden bloody clan."That alph-ass seems to have brainwashed you into thinking th
Xevia's POVThis place was nothing like the one in my mom's story. "Why do you look perplexed?" Archer kept an eye on me as he lifted one of his eyebrows. "Why does this place seem unkempt?" I asked, a bleak emotion making me swallow my tears. Is this how they–the alphas, honor the knights who sacrificed themselves for peace?This place looks more like an abandoned place than a hero's tomb monument. Some trees were uprooted, and one corner revealed an extreme crack like a massive storm had struck it. Everything seemed destroyed and broken, with mossy gravestones and a garden overgrown with wild grass. No one was watching over it, only weasels roaming around. It was as if everyone had forgotten this place. No one remembered it anymore, literally no one. Is death always this sad? Would they forget us when we were already gone? Leaving us in the cold air covered in mud and decomposing animals?"I don't know, ask them, those alphas who lead this city," Archer said as he scratched his h
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
