Without warning, Winston pounced on Cloud. He turned into a wolf and attacked Cloud with his claws.I didn't stop Winston, as I am confident that Cloud can survive on his own.He can heal from any type of non-fatal injury. Vampires cannot heal from decapitation, heart extraction, being set on fire (unless the fire is put out), or being staked in the heart.Vampires are somewhat similar to healers—they can die if they are decapitated; the only difference is they have to burn the head so they will die, whereas healers die instantly after our heads separate from our necks."Leave my wife alone!" Winston exclaimed.Cloud's blood stained the carpet because Winston kept attacking him even after his wounds healed. They rolled around the office and destroyed anything they came into contact with."Oh, okay, here." Cloud chicly replied. He spit my severed tongue, and it hit directly on Winston's face. It caused Winston to roar and punch Cloud even more.Cloud also showed his fangs and claws. He
"Welcome back, madam.""You looked skinny, Glynsel.""Yes, madam, it's because someone disappeared for six years.""Haha. Who might that be?"I ignored the blatant protest of Glynsel.What is he complaining about, anyway?He can just take all my assets and company since he's basically managing it on his own.I won't even take it if he wants it.Well, he missed his chance to take it, because I am now back. This wealth of mine will be used for the rebuilding of my Luca Clan."Glynsel, give the report to me later; take..." I paused when I suddenly noticed that there was no awkwardness between him and William standing side by side as if this was not the first time they met. "You know him too, Will?""Yes, Ma. He doesn't help me, though."Glynsel was flustered by what William said. He frantically waved his hands to defend himself. He claimed, "I can't confirm that he's your son, so I simply do my job to protect your wealth.""Oh, that's fine. It's your job." I casually replied. It's unders
There is no end to this!How long did I keep fighting?Why did I become alone?What did I do wrong?Though the sky was obscured by the tree canopy, I tried to look up anyway to see how it looked.Although the night was quiet and dark, there was no peace.I can't even breathe freely. I have to keep quiet and still so the healers won't find me.Ha! I have become pathetic!No, I have always been like this.I am the great shame of the Lycans!I clenched my fist as I gritted my teeth, but I stopped doing so immediately because I was creating unnecessary noise. I have to keep living, even if everyone else dies.I have to keep going.I need to save my wife!Luceethe was left trapped inside the barrier. William's rushed decision made things more complicated. He should have stayed still when I said he didn't have to do anything!William and Luceethe are really alike!Why are they doing more whenever I tell them to stay still?I sighed in frustration. It was actually u
Why do I love Luceethe?She always asks this question whenever she has the chance, but I can't answer her well. I think I avoided it as much as she tried because I myself don't know.Why do I think I love her?That's confusing me too, but it's strange that I have the confidence to tell her that I do love her even without a concrete reason.Then why can't I find the reason?Why do I so badly want her?She's beautiful, sexy, and alluring, but her body is not everything.What I want is her heart. I want her whole.I actually, at first, despised her, but everything changed the same day I violated her.I could still clearly remember our first meeting. It was another tiresome day with a lot of work and obligations piling up for me. She was captured by Vitto and the others, and over time I used her as my punching bag. I vented all my frustration to her. I relieved my stress by tutoring her.Her cry and pleading became a cure for my exhausted mind.It all changed whe
"Winston. Winston. What are you thinking?"I reflect on my disgusting behavior while I return all the apparatus supporting Luceethe's life.I feel more guilty while cleaning Luceethe's body. She's in a mess because of me. Not only did her body become sticky and wet, but I even dirtied her blond hair."You've gone crazy."I repeatedly said those words while I carefully cleaned her body. After changing her clothes and the bed sheet, I also jumped into the shower. I am the one who is most in a mess between us. My brain is a mess.I hit my head on the wall while I turned the shower on. Even the water can't cleanse how dirty minded I am. How do I do that to an unconscious person?I was trying hard to reflect on my action, but the image of Luceethe's body made my d*ck hard again."You've gone crazy!"I punched myself many times to straighten up. I think it's the longest time I've stayed in the shower. I was confident that my self reflection and the punishment I gav
What is she planning?I maintained a stoic expression while I casually picked up my clothes and wore them again. Wynnzen should be lecturing me about the importance of our bloodline now, but why does she look like she's pleased at what she saw?Is it fun to see your sun f*cking a half-dead girl?Although my mother's reaction was suspicious, I let her tell me what she wanted before I judged her."What do you mean?" I asked after Wynnzen offered herself to help me and Luceethe be betrothed.I don't have any intention of marrying Luceethe at all. I am engaged to Wunzena. Even if I don't like Wunzena, I want to stay loyal to her. We are not matched together by chance. We got here after so much hardship and battle. We both have responsibilities to fulfill while staying loyal to this supposed arranged marriage.If Wynnzen had offered this before, we would be happier, but it is different."It's just that you look like you want her." she added."Want her? because I want her?"
Why does he need to write it down if he can simply speak to me?There is no way he is shy. Isn't he eloquent enough to tell me in detail?Do I make him feel uncomfortable?"Suit yourself.""Thank you."Winston looked into the drawers of the guest room and found a notepad and a pen. He sat on the floor and started writing down whatever he needed to tell me. He looked adorable because of how serious he was writing while sitting on the floor.I was about to sit beside him, but he asked me to wait for him in bed. I simply let him concentrate more on writing down his thoughts, as it's his first time not giving me the "You don't have to know." card. Winston might be bad at conveying his own feelings through words.Well, even in action, he totally fails at showing what he really meant. He's lucky that I love him so much that he doesn't need to be perfect.I lay down on the bed and checked the messages on my phone and noticed that William had texted me. It says: "Ma
I was surprised by the content of Winston's writing. It reads like a letter of love, full of praise for me. He doesn't often compliment me or express his love for me, so I don't understand why he's taking this so seriously.Despite having a flawless face and body as well as unmatched skills, his penmanship is terrible but still cute. Just looking at his messy handwriting makes my heart flutter.Don't tell me he is forcing himself to write this kind of letter to shut me up again. Maybe he knows my heart well—I'll be willing to get tricked just for this.I read the writings repeatedly, as the more I read them, the more I feel like I am getting hypnotized.The writing reads:"I'm so sorry. I really can't express myself well.You don't have to worry, as I already love you even before I take a weekly dose of Loksi. I didn't see how lovely you were until it was too late. If only I had realized it sooner, you wouldn't have been imprisoned and subjected to torture. I am really sorry.I am awa
Three years have unfurled like the pages of a quiet book since the day we exchanged our vows, promising each other a life woven with shared dreams and laughter.Winston and I were not the only ones whose lives were transformed into beautiful, peaceful passages on our page; the Lycans' quality of life also significantly improved.Although there are still rare occasions when we run into difficulties, we can see that we are getting better and stronger. Additionally, in that brief period, the Lycans successfully rebuilt the house that had been destroyed during our conflict with the healers.The Lycans are still reluctant to accept outsiders, but as a sole healer coexisting with them, I have come to appreciate the way of life I had been dreaming of.I can now interact with them whenever I want and freely admire and appreciate their beauty.I am on cloud nine, but as time passes, the quiet whispers of worry become more audible, like a constant murmur in the background of my life—Winston and
I should be saying my wedding vow by now if only these attention seekers didn't ruin our wedding ceremony.I could not help but sigh as I watched the Lycans leave the community hall, forgetting that I was supposed to be the main character of today's event.I can do nothing but continue to move in the same direction as they are.Contrary to them, who carelessly tore their formal wear to pieces, I carefully walked outside, taking care to protect my wedding dress' delicate details.I do not worry that a battle will break out right now.I am sure that the barrier my son built would prevent these healers from entering our territory, even if they bled while banging their heads against it.Now, the only issue was why this new clan of healers was arriving here on my wedding day.Why do they have to bother me on a day when I should be happily enjoying my time?Anyway, at the time I went out to the community hall, Wakkin showed off how he had changed as the Lycan leader.Wakkin's growl reverber
The early morning sun painted the room in a soft, golden tone as I stood in front of the mirror, my pulse pounding frantically in my chest. My hands trembled with a mixture of eagerness and unrestrained delight as I smoothed down the delicate lace of my bridal dress.I couldn't believe that my wedding day was actually here.I know Winston and I are already husband and wife, but doing the ceremony and experiencing the wedding is a whole different level of excitement and feeling.I couldn't help but bounce on my toes, the excitement bubbling up inside me like a champagne cork ready to pop. Every breath I took seemed to tingle with anticipation, and I had to remind myself to slow down and take it all in."Do not ruin the ceremony just because you are excited," I told myself as I stared at myself in the mirror.I worked hard to make this wedding happen, so I must be patient and enjoy it to the fullest.Originally, Winston planned a simple wedding in which we would exchange vows, eat toget
After the death of our dearest child, there is no way we can move on immediately, but we are trying. Also, the whole territory of the Luca Clan grieved for William's death and carried the will that our son left in everyone's heart. We have to rebuild the clan and make it stronger.In the days that followed, the Lycans tentatively stepped back into their old routines, navigating the balance between the past and the present. We rebuilt our homes, which had been destroyed by the battle, and restored the laughter we lost.Everyone is trying and working hard, and my husband was one of the lycans who was working particularly hard."Win, take a break for a moment!"I shouted without even knowing where exactly my husband was. All I know is that he is toiling away inside the construction site, helping to rebuild our mansion."Wait, I'm coming!" Winston answered right away.I glanced up to see him on the third floor before he jumped down to approach me.My jaw dropped as soon as I saw how his a
The lycans are finally prepared to start the party and give out their gifts.The covered court filled up as more Lycans joined us. I think everyone inside the territory came to greet my son at his impromptu birthday party."Happy birthday to you!""Happy birthday, boss William!""Happy Happy birthday to you!"They made a mess of singing the birthday song. I could hear the deaf tones more, and they also sang their own lyrics. It's funnier in that way anyway.When it came to crowd attention, William, as I recall, was very shy.As far as I remember, William was incredibly reserved in front of a group of people. But that shy side of him has long since vanished, as evidenced by the excitement with which he jumped and danced to the messy birthday song that was being sung for him.I happily sang along despite the messy singing."Blow the candle." I said.My son was still catching his breath as he finally behaved in front of his birthday cake. He smiled broadly while the orange glow of the ca
It took three days for William to be satisfied with the "play" he requested. We only spent one day at the amusement park and spent the following days doing everything William requested, such as visiting a marine theme park, visiting a kindergarten, pretending to be a normal human family, racing cars at a circuit, and shopping.Overall, Winston, William, and I were happy with our unexpected family outing.It was not all about play, but we smiled, laughed, and finally had time to talk to each other about everything we had missed.It was the first time we felt like a real family.I wish this moment would never end, but that was just wishful thinking on my part.I know what will happen in the end, but it is extremely difficult for me to accept."Shall we go back to Luca Territory?" William suggested.Winston and I looked at William with a surprised look because he asked about returning home out of the blue."What do you mean?" I asked."Mean by what, mom?""W-well, why are you asking to g
We will all die. Knowing that is the best information we could have—except for knowing when.Because we think that tomorrow or some time in the future will be close enough, we might put things off so much. And it always surprises us when we realize we are running out of time.It really took me by surprise—devastatingly!How am I supposed to accept that my son will leave me soon?Indeed, we are finally together.We are even flapping our wings in rhythm, as if we are having our best time.We appeared stunning with our wings.I looked at my son's and my husband's faces.Their expressions looked bright and relieved, as if nothing was wrong with our current situation.They smiled as they elegantly moved in the air.Am I the only one suffocating in my own hopelessness?I do not like the new reality we are living in, but I also cannot keep harping on how bad things are.No matter how much I won't accept it, I guess I just have to do what they want.I will see to it that William gets to see t
I was lost for words.I stared at my son, hoping that he was just throwing a bad joke. But his melancholy eyes, which were hidden by a fake bright smile, proved that none of his words were intended as a joke."Why are you so surprised, mom?" he asked. "You also do the same.""What do you mean? I am not dying at all.""It's because you only resurrected my father and a few others.""What?""I don't know about my father, but I care a lot for the clan. I don't want it to die out."Although his words were harsh, William looked at his father as if he was relieved. I suppose he does not hate Winston all that much, or has he ever hated him? Strangely, my son would always lead me to get concerned and anxious, as I no longer could tell what was running through his mind.He matured a lot.My baby grew in a flash."Second awakeners can revive the dead, but the price is that part of our life span would be taken out," William said. "They will come back to life like a butterfly.""Like a butterfly?"
The glow of the moon was faint, yet it still predominantly illuminated the night sky.The night is beautiful, and it even becomes more august because of the howling of the wolves around while the elves and vampires also join in, screaming out their joy.Finally, the battle was over, and the survivors had prevailed.We have all the right to rejoice, even if we murdered a lot of creatures.Greed, purpose, motives, and whatnot—I don't care what the others were celebrating. What was important to me was that, at long last, no more clan would prey on my lycans.Even though there are still other healer clans, I am confident that they will not attempt to come to the surface now that everyone is aware of their vulnerability."Finally, we can live in peace." I mumbled. I am still tightly hugging Winston in his naked humanoid form. I think I am getting used to seeing these wolves get naked after their deathly battles. I don't feel flustered seeing the wolves naked anymore, but of course, even if
