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
My eyes flew wide open, and I stared down at Oswald’s hands, which were currently wrapped around my waist in shock. A sense of fury invades my whole system immediately. How can he keep doing this? What does he take me as?Quickly, I snapped out of my petrification and reached out to unlock Oswald's hands from my waist. However, even after using my whole strength, Oswald’s hands were still firmly locked, and he didn't budge a bit. My face reddened, and I gnashed my teeth in fury. “Alpha Oswald, what are you doing? You have a partner, and I'm in a relationship with your friend. This isn't right! Stop it. No one should see us in this position.” I bellowed while struggling heavily, trying to remove Oswald’s hands that were positioned around my waist.However, I kept being unable to, no matter how I tried. Casually, Oswald placed his chin on my shoulder and pulled me closer, as if to embed me in him. “So what if they see? You’re my mate; you should be mine. Not his.” He retorted calmly
My expression changed immediately. The last thing I'll let happen is for someone to come in between Wyatt and my relationship. Moreover, when that someone is Oswald. I gnashed my teeth together and straightened my neck, my eyes spitting with intense fury. Wyatt is mine. “You can't stop me, Oswald.” I bellowedProminent lines appeared between Oswald's eyebrows, and he grimaced. He lowered his head to stare directly into my eyes and hugged me tightly. “Maia. I can't do without you. Don't make this hard for us.” He proclaimed in a serious and shaky voice.Suddenly, he changed our position and pressed me against the tree. His right hand effortlessly pinned my hands above my head.I glared at him coldly in response and tried to push him away to escape. However, his lock made me unable toOswald slowly kissed my shoulder with intense care, as if he were afraid of hurting me. Although I didn't want him, I couldn't help the tingle that coursed through me with his every action, which I knew
My head throbbed, and my teary eyes felt so itchy. I curled tighter on the floor filled with dried leaves and soil before massaging my brows slightly. I missed the old red flame pack a lot, especially the yellow mountain, which held the hidden cottage that my parents built for our family.Yellow Mountain is rumored to hold scenery but more dangers, which was the reason it deterred the pack members from visiting.But what no one expected was that deep in the yellow mountains was a low-key yet luxurious cottage where our family always stayed during vacation.Except for mom, dad, and me, nobody knew there was a hidden cottage that held memories of the late Alpha, Luna, and our whole family in general.Despite growing up through the pains, I made sure to protect the cottage, knowing if I didn't, once it was found by Alpha Henry or his family, the cottage would lose the meaning of its existence just like the palace did. Suddenly, the familiar sandalwood scent drifted into my nose, and fa
My eyes constricted, and I shivered in Wyatt's embrace due to his threat. “I. I won't dare to, hubby.” I quickly replied while secretly sighing in relief.I've just hidden a dangerous secret from Wyatt, but thankfully it's just between Oswald and me, so I can't help being relieved and assured that Wyatt will never get to know about the kiss.I believe Oswald won't go tattling about the kiss to Wyatt. Moreover, even if Oswald did, I'm sure Wyatt wouldn't believe him because Wyatt would think that was Oswald's way of trying to separate the both of us.Wyatt stroked my chin and planted a kiss on my forehead. “You're not unworthy, Maia. You're powerful and have numerous true bloods in you. You might be stronger than I.” He stated, his voice carrying seriousness.Upon hearing Wyatt's sentence, my eyes widened in shock, but in the next second, I snapped out of it.I puffed my cheeks and glared at Wyatt angrily. Did Wyatt think I'm a naive kid that he's carving such hilarious lies with full
However, in the next minute, I snapped out of my thoughts and began to prepare the bathtub seriously.It doesn't matter if I can't find my things in the closet. In the bathtub, there are bathrobes and towels, and there are some I kept in hidden spots. As long as I have those, I'll see what he can do to me. My lips rose smugly, and I walked towards the mouth care section cockily.However, as I brushed my teeth and took my bath, my heart couldn't help but thrum in fear that Wyatt would end up barging into the bathroom.But soon I realized that Wyatt had no intention of doing any of that, making my tense nerves calm down.I tilted my head, thinking that perhaps I was the one thinking too much and Wyatt was only flirting around with me, or else what might be the reason he hadn't taken any action yet?After taking my bath and making sure I cleaned my lips and brushed my teeth really well, I smugly made my way towards the cabinet, which was always filled with my towel, bathrobe, etc.Alas!
"Sister-in-law." Arya suddenly stopped in her tracks and called me on our return to the hostel after class. I tilted my neck and eyed Arya in curiosity, wondering what Arya wanted.Arya's eyes shone mischievously, and she began to play with a strand of long hair. "Sister-in-law, it's Friday. Are you returning to the hostel or returning to brother?" Arya inquired, a wicked grin lighting up her face. Her neck tilted in curiosity, and she stared at me with crafty glints flickering in her eyes.Originally, when it's Friday, I would return to the hostel and leave for Wyatt's mansion on Saturday afternoon, but now that I've gotten together with Wyatt, Arya wanted to see if I'll still be doing the same thing.I glared at Arya in feigned displeasure. Does she have to ask such obvious questions? But isn't it the same thing with Wyatt? The cousin duo were both splendid schemers!My lips broke into a wild grin upon scenting the familiar and unique sandalwood scent.Wyatt's lips curved up, and he
I could not help but secretly exhale in relief; even though I acted as if I wasn't scared, the truth was that my heart was skipping very fast due to nervousness and petrification.It was a wonder how Wyatt didn't hear my racing heartbeat.But thinking about it again, I knew Wyatt would, but he brushed it off to strike fear in me so that I would quickly give up asking, but he never expected that I would fiercely stay in my stance. Wyatt opened the door from his side and alighted the car. Still opening it, he made me do the same thing.It was when I got out of the car that I realized that we were in the pack prison. My eyes constricted immediately, and ugly memories of the past began to invade my mind, making my mood fall.I tilted my head in confusion. Weren't we supposed to go on a date? What are we doing here? It can't be that here's our date location, can it?Suddenly, my eyes widened, and I bit my lower lip in distress. It can't be that Wyatt had a big, pitiful secret that's relat
