Nash's POV "I never broke my promise. The witch kept her promise to me by successfully turning Jack into a mad dog. I also have to keep my promise to her," I explained, bringing up the agreement between myself and the witch. Even though I really wanted to kill him. "Even so, it would be too soon to release her now!" said Derry rejecting my decision. Even though he was the one who insisted that I accept the agreement with the witch, it's hard to believe. "I have to do it, on the big day of Ruby's appointment as my queen, I don't want anything to ruin that day. I want to be as calm as possible." Yes, Ruby will definitely be sad if an attack occurs on her happy day, I feel too upset, it makes me still think about people who have hurt me a lot, and sometimes I feel very angry, I influence Ruby a little by bringing up the crime she committed against Amber, but instead of apologizing, she just sobbed while continuing to ask me to immediately crown herself as queen. "But Jack just d
Amber's POVI looked up at the night sky filled with stars from the bedroom balcony. It feels like it's been a long time since I've had the chance to enjoy the night sky. And starting today, I can feel many changes taking place in my life. Somehow, I feel like tomorrow will be better than today. I started to feel what happiness is again, even though there were still many questions in my mind after all that happened. "Beautiful?" I was surprised to hear a baritone voice behind me followed by the scent of lavender which immediately filled my sense of smell. I don't know how long Everett has been standing behind me. I immediately turned to look at him and again I was surprised because Everett immediately hugged my waist and pulled my body closer to him. "You... you surprised me," I said nervously, feeling my heart jump because of Everett's actions. We're too close! Even from this close distance, I could feel his breath on my face. I turned my face back slightly, which I was
Amber's POV His gaze grew dimmer, only emptiness could be seen in his gray eyes. "I... am a murderer. I... am a monster," said Everett with a blank look. Those gray eyes looked so miserable. I don't really understand Everett's ambiguous words. But, I think I'm starting to understand the current situation. "It doesn't matter." Everett looked very surprised when I suddenly hugged him. "Wh... are you going to hate me after you know that? I... am not as good as you think. Amber... I..." "Shhh, it's okay." Everett was shocked again when I put my finger to his lips. His gray eyes stared at me in disbelief. I stared deeply at the gray bead. I don't know where the courage came from, I was able to look into his eyes this intensely. "Do you understand what I'm saying?" Everett asked as he started to bury his face in the crook of my neck. "Maybe. I think I've heard of that tragedy before. So, that tragedy is related to you?" "After that incident, Nash began to have ambitions to
Amber's POVFinally, we went home and arrived at the castle at noon. I saw that the party preparations for welcoming Khanza were almost complete. Tonight's event looks like it will run smoothly and calmly. I saw children running around and accidentally one of them bumped into me who was walking. "So - sorry," said the little girl named Marry. “It's okay darling, are you hurt?” I asked worried about her. Marry looked at me and shook her head. She smiled very sweetly. Then a boy who looked very much like Marry came up to me. "I'm sorry, my little sister," said Steven, bowing his body. "It doesn't matter, it was my fault that Marry accidentally bumped into me," I said, stroking both of their heads. “Do you guys want candy?” asked Everett who came after me. Everett seemed to really like the twins. "Want to!" the two exclaimed as they took the candy given by Everett. "Thank you," continued the two and just left. Leaving Everett smiling at me. "Why are you following me?"
Amber's POV I sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Khanza who was sleeping with a sad look. Have I forgotten to pay attention to Khanza these few days? I didn't realize she had a scar like this on her neck. The scar looked new, even though it had been treated a long time ago. It seems that Khanza is very tormented by the pain that comes from the scar. The affection that arose when I saw her for the first time made me regret not having paid closer attention to her. So far I've lost a lot of valuable things, and I don't want to lose any more. I woke up from my reverie when I heard the sound of Khanza waking up from her sleep. "Khanza..." I called and I saw the little girl looking at me with a look that I couldn't decipher. "Sorry for disturbing your rest time, Amber," said Khanza politely. The girl smiled with her pale face. I was a little surprised to see her attitude today. Moreover, her situation looked very different compared to when I first met her. The girl's body
Everett's POV On the way, I felt something strange. The sky felt empty with no wind blowing at all. As if time had stopped, only a few crows were continuing to fly above there. And sure enough, suddenly my car stopped instantly. Made me amazed. "What is it?" I asked confused. Ian shook his head not knowing. "I'll go out first, wait here," he said and got out of the car. I couldn't wait and immediately came down. As soon as I got out of the car. My eyes are perfectly round. Suuuts.. With quick movements, I deflected the wooden arrow. I saw that there was writing on the cloth attached to the arrow. "'Hurry back' What does that mean? Who shot this arrow?" Reflexively, I started looking for the owner of this arrow. And bingo! Behind the tree, I saw someone in a red hood watching me before he was swallowed by the darkness of the forest. "Who's he?" “Mr. Everett!” Ian shouted and distracted me and walked over to him. I turned my gaze to everyone who was now looking at
Amber's POV I closed my eyes when I saw a very scary figure walking towards me. My body felt stiff, now I was too afraid to move my body at all. A gust of wind hit my body. The sound of the rogue's footsteps could not be heard again. The terrifying aura seemed to disappear. I slowly opened both eyes. He is no longer in this room. I looked around looking for him but to no avail. He wasn't in the room at all. Suddenly a big bang startled me. I gasped in surprise when I felt the floor shaking slightly. I widened my eyes realizing one thing. I quickly ran towards the collapsed wall where the rogue had hit it and knocked his body down. I looked down. There were rogues and Everett who were glaring at each other. "Who are you? What are you doing here?" shouted Everett with passionate anger. I don't know when Everett came back. However, there was a feeling of relief that made me calmer. I couldn't hear what the rogue was saying. But I clearly heard him faintly mention a
Amber's POV I was surprised to see a figure that looked familiar. I know him, the guard who always guards my room every night. The figure who once looked kind and not rude has now turned into a very scary figure. I don't understand at all why Jack could change like this. His figure was very scary and made me almost unable to move my body. It seemed that Khanza was starting to control himself when Jack came to kneel in front of us. There was a sound from the girl that made me look at her in disbelief. "Jack," she whispered weakly. Apparently, Jack is her older brother. But, how is that possible? Did they talk to each other while Khanza was there? Could this be what made Nash make Jack a creature who turned into a monster with an irregular body shape? What magic has Nash given and made Jack so scary like that? When Jack looked at us, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. Khanza cried seeing Jack like that. With a body that had been torn apart, Jack looked different.
Everett's POV Several weeks have passed, and for some reason, sometimes I remember several events on the day when I attended the appointment of a new Alpha in the Sky Moon Pack. Jennie, even I still remember her name. But that's not the most important thing. Amber's intoxicating scent was there. Unfortunately, the aroma disappeared there right before I saw Jennie's back which was facing away from me. The girl reminded me of a sweet figure who smiled gently at me. Stroking her hair, caressing her lips, hugging her, and giving her warmth and calm from her scent. I ruffled her hair in frustration. Silently I went towards the Sky Moon Pack. I don't know what was going through my mind, but I just wanted to make sure. Why is that scent there? Will I find the figure I've always been waiting for? I don't understand. What I want is clarity on all the things that really give me a headache. The Sky Moon Pack warriors bowed their heads in respect as soon as I passed in front of th
Author's POV Everett took Amber to her dream place. Everett put Amber on green grass with beautiful flowers decorating it. A very beautiful grass field. The sun began to rise and gave a very stunning yellow color. Everett cried seeing Amber who was not beating anymore. His soulmate had disappeared. His soulmate is gone forever. Grief brought Everett deep regret and unable to forgive himself. “I'm sorry for making you have to experience something sad like this. There are many things I want to say to you. Really, but I thought you wanted us to meet in a more beautiful place than this world. Amber, I'll follow you," Everett said desperately and took out the small knife he had in his pocket. Everett raised the knife towards the sunlight which refracted it and hit Amber in the face. The stiff body began to feel warm. Amber's heart, which had stopped, started beating again. Everett was shocked and didn't expect Amber to breathe again. "Leave her here, I'll take her and recov
Author's POV On the other hand, Hans and his troops arrived to take over the leadership of Everett who was helping Amber. Hans, who had long wanted to avenge Nash's cruelty and wanted to end Nash's civilization, chose to attack Nash's troops who had been around to protect the palace and Nash. "Mr. Everett, I know that you really love Amber. I will let you save your world. And now let me save my world and all the packs that have been destroyed because of Nash!" said Hans. But suddenly Hans appeared and led Nash's troops to fight Everett's troops. “Retreat if you don't want this to be your last day seeing the world!” shouted Hans angrily. He was sent by Nash to block the rebels who wanted to destroy his palace. But Hans was not afraid, he instead showed his scary face. "Attack!" shouted Hans and started the war. Hans hit the ground hard. The healing is slow but continues to work. Unfortunately, other warriors were not as lucky. The warriors began to fall, one by one dyi
Author's POV The orange sky was turning reddish with white clouds scattered around. The sun has long since moved from its throne and is now preparing to fall asleep to welcome the night. The barren land of the Dark Land dominated by dusty grains of sand felt slightly trembling. The reason is that a large army joined by many packs is present, preparing to start the battle. Everett was ready with various barriers to prepare for the worst. They fought in wolf form but it is possible that they also carried small weapons which might be useful in times of urgency. The palace of darkness that stood firmly in the barren land of the Dark Land came into view. Hundreds of figures in black robes appeared to surround the palace with a dense, unbearable aura. Thousands of warriors lined up neatly in their armor. Not to forget, the Alphas from various packs who joined Everett were also ready for war. They continued walking until finally, they saw a towering castle. The horror impression
Amber's POV Darkness is my friend. The narrow room that was dark, stuffy, and damp was my shelter from now on. No more mercy for me. I couldn't even sit down and rest to recover from my wounds. I was chained in a standing position. After being whipped and beaten, I was left in a rusty cell with dirt as a floor. The fishy aroma of my blood could still be smelled several meters from the cell. A very sad and despicable situation for anyone who sees it. My closed eyes suddenly opened. I roared. With the rest of my strength, I tried to remove the shackles of the silver chain on my body. However, the sound of the chains rattling actually provoked several guards who immediately whipped and beat me until I fainted so that the prison would return to silence. Ruby's black heels tapped softly on the cold floor of the dungeon. The fishy smell of blood and damp air immediately greeted Ruby's arrival, glancing cynically before walking towards the cell that was her goal in coming to th
Everett's POV It's been a few days since my focus started to wander. Thinking that Amber was kidnapped by Nash, but in reality, it wasn't. I didn't find any Amber there at all, in fact, I only found remnants of Amber in her previous room which had not changed at all. I don't understand why Nash still has Amber's things like that. I was really annoyed and angry because I couldn't find Amber. There was no trace of Amber's presence there. I thought that Nash would cover up his crime of kidnapping Amber. But I could see his overreaction. Nash looked very surprised and actually blamed me for not being able to find Amber. That day I broke into his palace with a limited number of warriors. I could have killed Nash straight away and taken over the palace right then and there. But I felt very uneasy and was more worried about Amber. I'm afraid that someone more evil and cruel than Nash has kidnapped Amber. This will make me really blame myself for not being able to look after Amb
Amber's POV I woke up in the middle of a room filled with horrible ornaments. This room is identical to the colors black and red. There are no windows here, the dim lights only add to the eerie impression of this room. I was really annoyed and angry at Ruby who had trapped me with that man named David. I didn't expect to meet them like this. Even Ruby had to kidnap me like this, what really happened in the palace? I know that Ruby really wants my position, but I never heard of her coronation as queen. Had Nash thrown it away? But why? Isn't Ruby the woman of his dreams? Ah, I felt incredible fear, hearing about the torture Khanza experienced by Ruby made me start to get goosebumps. What will happen to me now? I know that Ruby is a fox in sheep's clothing. She was so cunning that I didn't realize that Ruby had stabbed me in the back. I still remember clearly how hurt and hurt I was when I found out that Nash was having an affair but still wanted to be served. How painfu
Nash's POV Without realizing it, Sarah's tears just fell. My life story turns out to be not as sweet as I always show. So dark and painful. And only to Sarah can I say everything. "Didn't I tell you that when you cry you're ugly?" tease so that Sarah stops crying. Maybe in the past, I always cursed the damn fate I had, but things are different now. I wiped the tears from Sarah's cheeks. My heart warmed to find Sarah who cared about me. "You're so poor," said Sarah, which only made her tears fall even harder. Imagining how painful my life was made Sarah really couldn't bear it and felt very sorry. Sarah's crying became more intense and it actually made her look like a child who had lost her candy. Seeing that made me hold back my laughter. Sarah's crying wouldn't stop and it would only make me laugh out loud seeing how ridiculous Sarah was. I immediately pressed my lips to Sarah's lips. Not a kiss, just a sweet kiss. Succeed! Sarah's crying immediately stopped and she
Sarah's POV On the balcony where I am now, I am looking at the beautiful view of this palace. It's really beautiful and spacious. I even widened my smile if this palace would really be mine. I can't wait for Nash to make me his queen, and father's plans finally begin. However, suddenly someone hugged me from behind, interrupting my thoughts. I knew it was Nash. I turned around and Nash immediately kissed me for quite a long time. "Don't be like this, what if someone sees?" I said stopping Nash's kiss and making him a little disappointed. “So what if someone sees? They won't dare talk about you.” "What do you mean? They still talk about me as your mistress.” “Not from now on.” "Why can?" "Because you are my queen," said Nash very seriously. "What?" I looked at Nash confused. Is this another of his jokes? "How do I convince you?" Nash sighed and seemed to be thinking about something. "Are you serious, Nash?" I looked at him probingly. "Ahh right!" Nash took some
