In response to my insistence on stopping Rowans execution, Winston carried me in his arms, and he jumped out of the window to rush over to the plaza.I was unconscious for only three hours, so its still afternoon, and here they are trying to kill someone under the good weather."No! Stop!" I exclaimed as soon as I saw the executioner raising his ax to initiate the execution.Are they living in medieval times? We are in the modern world! Why can't they execute their people in a less brutal way? Do they not know about execution by lethal injection? It's a peaceful way of executing, and it's less messy.Anyway, whatever I was grumbling about about their brutal way of executing their people, I still disagree with Rowan's execution.Rowan even looked like he was near death, even though his neck was still intact. It was only this morning that I saw him in his healthy state, but now his handsome face and his well-built body are covered in blood and bruises.The confidence I saw in him this m
The afternoon sun lit up my room with its warm light. Tiny specks of dust seemed to dance in the shaft of sunlight that slanted through my window.My gaze was on the window, even though the most handsome man was resting in my embrace.Winston fell asleep after whining about me not being allowed to hug anyone else. It was my first time listening to his childish words, as he later shifted his sentence to "Don't hug anyone else but us, your husband and son."I should be glad for the sudden affection I am receiving, yet why did I feel skeptical?You know the feeling. I've dreamed of being close with Winston since I first met him ten years ago. I first tried to get into their clan, but I failed, so I took care of them in the background. got caught, got violated, and surprisingly became his wife. He became gentle and caring. He kisses, hugs, and takes care of me. He even said that he like me. This means I finally succeeded, but why do I feel kind of empty?Why? I am even staying inside thei
Is this deja vu? Why do I keep waking up beside a handsome, half-naked man? Is this my daily routine now? I stared at my gorgeous man sleeping. I'm not sure if this is the day I collapsed or the day after, but what matters is that Winston's abs, intricate figure, and flawless face are once again blessings to my eyes. But wait? Why did I collapse again? I pressed my temples because my healing powers are really taking their time to ease my headache at this moment. I think it's related to my sudden collapse that my power is kind of off right now. "Ah! Right! William!" I jolted up to look for William, which caused Winston to wake up. I was about to run aimlessly in search of William when he stopped me at the door. But seriously, Winston doesn't have to put effort into stopping me because he already froze me in place because he followed me entirely naked. I thought he was half-naked like the first one. Damn! I was curled up next to him like that? I thought I was the only one who ha
I stay in the bath tub, staring at Ains unblinkingly, trying to process what she had just told me through sign language. She said, "Everyone is here. Some are disguised as wolves, some are humans."Who's the "everyone" she's talking about?Her team?What for?Isn't this dangerous?I then form the letter 'L' with my right hand, touch my thumb to my chin, and wiggle the longer 'L' leg up and down as I furrow my brow and ask her, "Who?"Ainspenser responded calmly and slowly signed her response to me. She said, "All the leaders are here."I blinked my eyes multiple times, trying to understand what she meant. Ainspenser is the leader of the human members inside the organization; does that mean my other friends are all here? But why?The confusion is pretty obvious on my face, and I also have to react without sound because the device on Ains will record it, so Ains effortfully detailed everything to me with her sign language.[Three years ago, your power exploded. If you look at the north
"Wow, he sleeps comfortably for someone who caused my heart to go into chaos," I said while playing with my fingers on his long beard.After we bathed together, he went straight to bed without even bothering to put on clothes. I only wrapped him in a blanket because if not, I'd overdose on his sexiness. There's a limit for my heart to take and keep up with how I could freely see his body.I simply watched him sleep, as I don't feel sleepy anymore after the extremely long sleep I got. So all I do is talk to the sleeping Winston and play with his beard while hoping it's his fur instead."Is this why you have such an unkempt beard?"Winston really is a busy man. I don't know what kind of affair his clan has these days, but he looked stressed and exhausted due to his duty as their alpha. He also has to take care of me and William. I guessed maybe his busy schedule caused him to forget to take care of himself."Oh, Sorry." I apologized as Winston suddenly bit my finger that was playing on
Winston, you are my sky; you are my clouds; you are my soft river; you are my melodious howling beast.I long for his presence, want his touch, and remember him in a way that ignites my mind, body, and soul. He is my cure, a source of sunshine, joy, and hope. Each time I fall in love with him, it's tougher than the one before.Each time, the sensation becomes deeper, more complete, and more alluring.Everything I could do to keep Winston safe, I would.I never assume he needs to beg for my affection; Winston never has and he never will. I have more love coming out of me the more I give it to him.Sounds insane, huh?I keep falling in love with him, and if there was ever a single event that tied my soul to this world of reality, it was that one.I understood that he serves as the clan's protector and that all of his brutal or vicious deeds are motivated solely by his love for the Lycans. How could I not respect that? How could I not fall in love with everything he is?When I first mee
I dropped my mouth open again as soon as I heard Winston's reason for kissing me out of the blue. If that's the convenient way to ask him to kiss me, then I would be opening my mouth every moment as if I were a baby bird waiting for mother bird to drop a worm in my mouth.Huk!I gasped because once again he put his mouth on mine, and unintentionally I gulped his saliva in, pulling his tongue too.I pushed him away to prevent myself from more humiliation, yet the reaction I saw in his face was a wild, sexy grin. He wiped his finger with his thumb before liking his thumb.I gulped in with this tempting and daring behavior while I made a few steps back.I feel like I will collapse soon from this overwhelming experience. I felt dizzy as I heard my heart hammering against my chest. I couldn't even understand Winston's words as he continued to speak to me as if kissing me was an ordinary thing for him to do."Are you okay?" he asked. He waved his hand in front of my face as he noticed that
I am so ashamed that I was born as a healer!First, let me tell you about my clan so you can understand my resentment toward my own clan.Healers are humanoid beings with a superior ability to heal. We are knowledgeable in medicine and apothecary. We know the herbs and simples that can restore vitality, ease pain, anesthetize, and neutralize poisons, and with our varying abilities, we can divine a being's state of health or sickness.Pre-awakening healers are just skilled at creating medicines, but once our major powers awaken, we can heal anyone with a single touch or command, depending on how huge our awakenings are.However, despite how divinely and reposefully our ability was, the healer as itself was not. Healers have a divinely beautiful and holy-like aura suitable for our healing ability, yet behind the saintlike front and godly beauty are just a bunch of vicious creatures.Yes, I include myself. I never considered myself good either. The only difference between me and the rest
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
