"You! What did you do?" he exclaimed.Winston's voice is much louder than usual. I could see his eyes ablaze with anger, which is something I shouldn't be surprised about.His hands on my arms were holding me so tightly. It must be the rage of realization."Luceethe, what did you do?" he repeated.I only laughed dryly as a response while thinking that I was back from zero.But he definitely has to stick to his words that he will not kick me out, even if he despises me! "How do you feel? Please don't kill me, tho– Ack!"I bit my tongue because he suddenly grabbed my neck. He was not strangling me. He simply held my neck, just like he did awhile ago. Yet I could feel how he was holding in his emotions. I remained calm, as it was not a surprising reaction.I don't mind receiving his rage."Aren't you listening to me? Didn't I tell you not to cleanse me yet?" he exclaimed. "Is this what you want?"He let go of my neck, and he stood up. He then walked back and forth in front of the bed, l
Why does it seem like today was such a long day?Particularly this night, it seems to be the longest night I've ever had.It's still midnight, but all of us are wide awake.Winston and I were about to seek help from Wunzena, but she had already left home, while Windriel was also gone.Did their conversation go well? Will Wunzena be on our side?But what should we do now?Since Wunzena is not here anymore, I suggested again, asking, "Should we try applying a variety of mints on your body?" which Winston didn't hide his disapproval. It proves that Loksi is no longer inside his body, as he also has the attitude of rolling his eyes at me or glaring at me.Well, I am fine with that since it's less extreme than what I had imagined while cleansing him."We can simply call her back." Winston reluctantly said. He took out his phone and called Wunzena's number, but she was not answering, so Winston tried to call Windriel, but he was not answering either."Don't tell me they are still together."
When I looked outside at our window, Winston was already running outside the gate of the mansion with five other lycans accompanying him.It was then my chance to leave our room since the two lycans that should be coming to our room are getting late.Firstly, I went to Wakkin's room, but he was not there.Next, I walked around looking for Sir Vitto, but I couldn't find him either.Why is everyone missing when I try to look for them?I asked a few servants to help me find the two, and they finally located the two lycans arguing in the yard with Rowan.I saw them growling at each other before they stopped as soon as they noticed my presence."Sir Vitto, long time no see!" I greeted Sir Vitto first because he's the only one I don't have any offenses to worry about."Yes. Long time, no see." Sir Vitto replied reluctantly, as usual.Along with Winston, I also send daily emails to Sir Vitto about random things. At first, I messaged him for the purpose of seeking information about Winston in
What's going on?Why do I feel like I have received a lot of confessions recently?Starting from Rowan confessing, then Winston's unchanging feelings, Sir Vitto telling me he missed me, and now Wakkin telling me he likes me.Do I have to be thankful that Windriel doesn't join the list?Why are they all acting like this when Loksi medicine isn't even playing any role in this situation anymore?I understand if Rowan would confess to me, but Wakkin and Sir Vitto don't have Loksi in their system, so why are they acting like this?"Are you sick?" I asked.Wakkin loosened his hold on me, so I jumped off his arms. I then cupped his face to check on his system. He is definitely healthy and fine! There was no sign of Loksi or any drugs in his system either!What's going on?"I am not sick!" Wakkin grumbled. He pushed me away from him, and he went to the corner of my room, sulking.Do I have to feel relieved that he looks embarrassed rather than angry?How am I supposed to respond to what he sa
I was completely mystified by Rowan's sudden, bold approach.Did the time turn slow?The ripping of his shirt seemed to have been done in slow motion while slowly my eyes landed from his six-pack to his firm chest.Although my heart belongs to Winston, my eyes are definitely weak towards a sexy body!Also, I am a sucker for handsome men!My jaw slacked as my eyes stared at the most part I love the most at Lycan's body—their nipples! And for Rowan, it's so pinkish and adorable!I want to bite it!Oh, sh*t!Luceethe! Calm down!You have Winston!"Clean my body." Rowan ordered.Thanks for speaking. I was woken up by my weird desire.I snapped out of it and simply agreed to what he asked. I intended to cleanse him in the first place."Would it be alright? I'll be touching you again." I asked.I think I have had enough of being extremely rude to Rowan; he might despise me later."Just do it. I might be liking you because of the drugs, right?" he said as he glared at me.Oh, he must not be
"Welcome back."I greeted Rowan and Wakkin as they entered my room again.Wakkin returned to his favorite spot in my room—the corner—while Rowan remained standing near my door."How are you feeling?" I asked."Worse," he replied bluntly.Rowan is probably feeling embarrassed about what has happened, but he no longer has the eyes that look at me with admiration. That's the right result of being freed from Loksi. He is probably just a bit timid now because of the humiliation he experienced a while ago.But, anyway, we don't have much time to worry about that matter for now since we have to think about our major concerns about Wynnzen and Levitra first.I have already briefed Sir Vitto, and now I need his help to convince Rowan and Wakkin to join us."I am going with you." said Wakkin.It startled me because he suddenly spoke in the corner. I was not even saying anything yet about my plan, and he is saying he will go."Me too," Rowan also stated."Do you even know where we are going?" I
My cousin, Clayton, has the most angelic and holy-looking beauty among us healers, but he is such a scary person. He has the most intimidating aura, well suited as the leader of the Arco clan, but he's also pathetic as hell. Only a few know that Clayton is just on the palm of Levitra. I despised how he could be easily controlled by Levitra. He's the leader of the healers, yet he's a coward when it comes to my villainous b*tch mother. So the reason he's here might be because he's acting like a dog for Levitra.However, why is Wynnzen trying to hide me from Clayton? Aren't they on the same side?And like me, she could sense Clayton approaching, but what should I do?Should I flee with Wynnzen and continue to pretend that I know nothing or face Clayton now?Well, I chose the latter.I have to save Winston too."Mother.""Yes? Let's hurry and lea–"I called Wynnzen endearingly for the last time before I kicked her in the stomach. It was the last time I would call her endearingly. She grea
Out of nowhere, a dying black wolf appeared inside my huge cage. I was trapped inside this dome-like, protected place for such a long time that I helplessly couldn't escape. It was disorienting to be kept isolated for unknown reasons.I was losing hope while I worried about what happened to my loved ones outside the dome, but now my new hope appeared in a worrisome manner.Blood, wounds, and injuries are quite hard to notice in Winston's jet-black fur. The deep blackness of his fur masks his vulnerability, but seeing him now lying on the ground and unable to even move his paws brought a primitive warning to the back of my mind."Winston!" I exclaimed as soon as I recognized him. I grabbed his face, but to my surprise, he bit my arm off. I was stunned for a moment before I stood up again to approach him.I have to heal him! He is dying!"Winston, what happened to you?" I asked, but he only responded with growling. Also, my severed left arm remained in his sharp teeth while he menacingl
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
