CHAPTER 227~3RD PERSON'S POV~“Cynthia, I'm so glad you finally opened up to me. Now I can see that you're not the cold-hearted person I thought you were. You're just a sad and lonely little girl, just like I once was,” Marie said softly. She kneeled in front of Cynthia, holding her hands in an attempt to comfort her. “I understand that you had to resort to being this way to avoid getting hurt again, but sometimes it's better to just talk about these things with someone who's ready and willing to listen to you.I used to keep all my problems to myself; I used to carry so much on my shoulder that it slowly ate me up on the inside, but when I became friends with Christine, Clarabelle, and Gabriella, everything changed. I became a lot happier and felt safer than ever,” Marie continued.“Marie, you were lucky to meet the people you met in this mansion. They forced you to open up, even when you didn't want to. I, on the other hand, met people who were just like me—people who didn't care
CHAPTER 228~3RD PERSON’S POV~A black luxury car drove into Steven’s mansion in the evening. The car had tinted windows, so the people inside could not be seen, but the warrior wolves who guarded the gates knew who the owner was, so they just let them pass as soon as they arrived. The car stopped at a parking area in the garden, and the door at the driver's seat slowly swung open. Alpha Derren stepped out of the car slowly, looking around the gardens. He wore dark shades and a black turtleneck sweater with long sleeves. He wore black silk trousers and shiny black shoes. He walked over to the other side of the car and pulled open the door. Maria stepped out of the car in a long black dress with a gown that split open from the waist down to her lower shin, revealing her black jean trousers and black high heels. Her locks were tied together in a ponytail, and she wore black lipstick and light makeup. The dress sparkled with small traces of gemstones randomly placed all around it.Alph
CHAPTER 229~3RD PERSON’S POV~Lunaris and Maria stood in front of a large mirror in the restroom. Maria washed her hands in the sink below, and Lunaris fixed her hair and make-up. They were both silent and avoided looking into each other's eyes, even while staring at the mirror.“Are you having fun?” Maria asked with a smile.“Yeah… I think I am. Although I haven't really gotten to see as much of the city as I would like to,” Lunaris replied, smiling back.“Well, if you're not satisfied with tonight's outing, you can always come back for a proper tour with Steven. He also hasn't seen the city properly either, so I'm sure it'll be a wonderful experience for the both of you,” Maria said, turning to her.“I guess so,” Lunaris replied, and they both went completely silent. Lunaris stared at the sink as the water poured over her hands, and Maria just quietly stared at her. “I know you want to ask me a question; you don't have to be afraid about it. I don't bite, I promise,” Lunaris said
CHAPTER 230~3RD PERSON’S POV~Steven and Lunaris walked back to Derren and Maria. Lunaris carried the large teddy bear in her hands, and Steven’s hands were in his pocket. His eyes were focused on the ground, and his face was expressionless. As they approached Derren and Maria, he slowly raised his head.Steven's and Derren's eyes suddenly made contact. As if communicating with each other, they both smiled. “I think it's time we moved on to the next game,” Derren said.Steven nodded, then forcefully collected Maria's stuffed deer from her. "Here, Lunaris, you can have this one too,” Steven said with a soft smile, turning to Lunaris.“Hey, that's mine!” Maria exclaimed angrily. Derren stepped in front of her, saying, “Don’t worry, Maria, I'll handle this.” He turned to Steven and continued clearing his throat and folding his arms against his chest. “You better hand over that stuffed animal or I'll...” He got stuck; he couldn't remember his lines. “You will what?” Steven asked.“I’
CHAPTER 231~3RD PERSON’S POV~“Siege? Now that's a name to remember,” Derren said, turning around completely to face the man who now stood before him and Steven. Siege remained silent, staring at the two of them through his red, glowing eyes. His muscles had grown a lot larger than before, and he had now become taller—something was definitely wrong with him. His nails grew into black claws, and the building veins around his arms glowed faintly.“Something's wrong with this guy, Derren. I can feel the bloodlust of a raging alpha werewolf around him, but I can't feel his aura at all—it's like it's not even there,” Steven said, his brows furrowing. He knew that things were about to get a lot more serious.“You’re not wrong. And what's up with the black claws and glowing veins? It's like he's something out of a lab,” Derren replied.Siege suddenly vanished—he appeared before Derren, grabbed his face, and slammed his head into the wall behind him. Steven's eyes widened in shock as he sa
CHAPTER 232~3RD PERSON’S POV~Siege continued to launch rapid attacks at Derren and Steven, hoping to land a good hit on them, but all his efforts were to no avail. It had been over an hour, and his arms were starting to grow weak—fatigue had started to set in. The drug that gave him his werewolf abilities started to wear off, and he could no longer put the same amount of strength into his attacks as he used to. Derren and Steven, on the other hand, looked like they could keep this up until daybreak—they hadn't even broken a drop of sweat. They were still in an isolated and dark area in a corner of the amusement park. They had already made so much noise that they were sure security would come after them soon. Steven landed on the ground, and Derren landed lightly on a dumpster.Seige stared at them, breathing heavily, his eyes half closed. His snout, fangs, and claws had grown a lot shorter than before, and his eyes glitched between their normal color and bright red. “It looks like
CHAPTER 233~3RD PERSON’S POV~Derren and Steven arrived at the Mortimer mansion a while later. The warrior wolves opened up the gates, and Derren drove in. “How could we have let this happen? I should never have left her by herself,” Derren said worriedly, with fear and concern in his eyes. He parked the car, and they both got off. “Derren, you shouldn't worry yourself too much. Maria is with Lunaris; I'm sure she won't let anything bad happen to her,” Steven said with a reassuring tone in an attempt to calm Derren down.Derren was about to reply when Lunaris's voice sounded. “Hey boys, welcome home.” Derren and Steven turned in her direction and saw her standing a short distance from the parking spot in her bright-grey dress. She had a soft smile on her face and a small crown on her head, laced with white gems that sparkled under the moonlight. Steven and Derren rushed to her quickly.“I thought you were kidnapped,” Steven said, placing his palms on Lunaris's shoulders.“Where’s
CHAPTER 234~3RD PERSON’S POV~“So, how has your stay on earth been, Lunaris?” Mary asked. She and the others were now in a small living room inside Steven’s mansion. The room was lit up by numerous candles standing on a large chandelier hanging at its center and a few other candles on the walls. There were multiple doorways in the room that led to other larger areas of the mansion. Only four long couches, a coat rack, and a glass table that stood inside a square created by the couches were in this room. Mary and Herculia sat on one couch, and Edith, Nicole, and Lunaris sat on the remaining three. Even in the dimly lit room, Lunaris's dress glittered beautifully, like it had diamond particles sprinkled all over it. “My stay on earth has been quite an experience. Being a mortal has been a bit difficult, but I'm slowly adjusting. Cleaning, lifting heavy objects, some more cleaning, and even eating—it’s all been really fun,” Lunaris replied.“Wow, it seems you're really sticking to thi
