No. I wanted to shake my head in disagreement. How could it be as Rex says? Of course, Rex is the closest to me. How could he not have space in my heart?It came to a point where I eagerly awaited Rex's arrival. To reveal to him that I wanted him and that I had begun to feel the same way he did. That I don't find his flirting clingy or weird.However, it's too late to say all this. Wyatt and I are joined, and nothing can change that.Regardless of what I say, not even my sincere confession could get Rex and me together. Rather, it'll make me appear selfish. It'll make it seem as if I wanted Wyatt and Rex at the same time. Moreover, it'll put Wyatt in an awkward position.Wyatt had done a lot for me; the last thing I'll ever do is let him down.Although I'm hurt about how things played out with Rex in the end, I don't want to leave Wyatt. I like Wyatt a lot. My quivering lips parted slightly. "I..."Rex ran his hand through his hair and let go of me, a reproaching smile on his face. "I
REX'S POV A freezing ambiance envelopes the large and expensive-looking office. The atmosphere freezes tensely in the elders' conference room, making my heart shudder with fear like never before.Six grim-looking werewolf elders sat on the left and right sides of the office. On the platform of the office were the Alpha and Luna of the red flame pack. Each of them had a serious expression on their face.Next to the Alpha and Luna seats was a cute, beautiful little girl whose legs kept swinging cutely without having an intention to stop.Placed at the front of the little girl's seat was a little table that had a plate of grapes placed on it. A smile adorned the girl's face as she picked the grape and tossed it into her mouth one after the other.The swinging of the cute little girl sitting next to Alpha and Luna while eating grapes in a dazzling cute manner broke the heaviness, giving the room a certain sort of ambiance.My eyes couldn't help but drift toward the cute little girl repea
Rex's Pov“Enough,” The Alpha raised his hand and bellowed coldly. Immediately, the group of elders kept their mouths shut. “It's not as if those boys were innocent either. Thole truants have been bullying him for a while now.” The Alpha enunciated his words clearly in support of me.My eyes lowered in disbelief. It's famously known that the Red Flame Pack Alpha always pampered his daughter to the core, but I didn't expect that Filippa was pampered to the extent that she could influence important decisions of the pack.“You can hear Filippa's words. She's right; Rex hasn't caused any harm to the werewolf pack. He'll be her bodyguard from now on.” The Alpha pronounced in a calm and collected tone, shocking everyone.The elders, including I, drew a cold breath due to the Alpha's unexpected judgment. Did the Alpha forget that I was a vampire? How could he be so fearless as to make a vampire guard his daughter? Was he so assured that I wouldn't hurt Filippa? Or did his pronouncement stem
“Boohoo, Rex, where are you? Help! Rex, help me. I can't break out of it. Rex, I won't run around anymore; help me.”My eyes narrowed, my fist clenched, and a bead of sweat gathered on my face upon hearing Filippa's cries deep in the forest.Everyone had been warned not to step into the forest today because the guards found traces of rogues lingering in the red flame pack forest.However, no one expected that Filippa would sneak out when the alpha, Luna, and the elders were having meetings. Not finding Filippa in the room made a premonition appear in my mind, making me decide to check the forest.However, I didn't expect that the premonition was right and that Filippa actually ran into the forest.Since when has Filippa run out? What is her current situation? Hearing Filippa's pitiful cries, I knew Filippa must be in a dangerous situation.The thought of this made multiple emotions run through me. Unconsciously, my eyes began to turn a darker shade of red, and a berserk energy began t
Filippa's POVAn enticing aroma suddenly drifted into my nose, rousing me from sleep. “Baby, wake up. You haven't eaten all day.” Wyatt's voice suddenly sounded next to my ear.My brows knitted in confusion. Shouldn't Wyatt be at home or work? Why was he here? Am I dreaming? However, upon recalling Wyatt's words, I understood immediately.Wyatt must have left his work to feed me. Isn't he the type of person who puts my needs above everything? I opened my eyes, and my eyes fell on his impeccable, handsome face. “Hubby,” I called softly and rubbed my eyes languidly, yawning. I lightly pulled the blanket over me and tried to sit up.Wyatt reached his hand out and supported me to sit up comfortably. He reached out his palm toward my forehead before using his other palm to touch his forehead. A few seconds later, he dropped both hands and kissed my lips softly. “You're fine.” He stated, and I nodded my head before lowering it.Yes, I'm fine, even though I feel like I don't have the right t
I shrunk back and quickly used the blanket to cover myself from Wyatt's penetrating and hungry gaze. I felt a shiver course through my spine at the intensity of his gaze.Wyatt had been fine all along; why did he suddenly become hungry for me?Quickly, I tried to recall our conversation, and suddenly it clicked.All this while, I have been talking about other men, never talking about ourselves. It can't be that Wyatt is annoyed about that, can it? I tilted my neck in confusion.However, I quickly shook my head, eliminating the option.No, if that's what Wyatt wanted, he'd have gone straight to the topic, so that could only mean one thing. Wyatt doesn't want me to ask about the current relationship between Oswald and him.I quickly waved my hand and pushed his needy big hand away with my small ones. “Alright, I won't ask anymore, hubby.” I quickly cried out before Wyatt could press me down, which would make me unable to fight back.And just like I expected, Wyatt leaned back, his darke
“Huh, mated indeed!” A familiar voice suddenly asserted enigmatically behind me, attracting my attention. I paused in my tracks and turned toward Asher in surprise, bewilderment, and curiosity, wondering what he was doing here.After all, Wyatt had agreed to speak to Asher not to train me for the week, so I didn't expect to see him until the next week, which was when our training would begin again.I stared at Asher and tilted my head in a puzzle, wondering the intent of Asher's statement. Should I take his words as a compliment or not? However, I pushed the thought away and nodded my head. “Obviously, right?" I responded.It's obvious that Wyatt and I are together, and I believe the news should have spread throughout the pack. So it made me confused about what Asher meant.Upon hearing my reply, Asher clicked his teeth with his tongue, his eyes narrowed, and he stared at me with a cold glint flickering past his eyes. “The lady in between two friends; what's special about you?” Asher
I took a deep breath and began to dive into the forest to find a rogue to fight with. I recalled that Rex had always been the one to effortlessly do such, but now I have to get used to fighting without him, isn't it?I looked up to the sky to blink rapidly. Perhaps, I might also need to get used to never seeing him again.I paused in my tracks and stared into the distance where Rex's figure disappeared. I wonder if that led to the vampire's clan.Vampire's Clan? What was I thinking? I quickly shook my head to send the distracting thoughts away. Even though I came here to practice, I ended up being unable to do so, due to the myriad of emotions that kept running rampant through my mind.I inhaled heavily and plopped down under the tree Rex usually perched on. Hopefully, I should be able to…“I've been wondering how outstanding the lady who caught his eyes was.“ However, I realized that she was just average. Just a so-so.“ A disdainful, tiny, and feminine voice suddenly sounded behind
