After seeing her son secretly, Rosalie returned to her room with mixed feelings, and chest tightness. She burst into Stefan's arms, who at that time was engrossed in reading. Stefan took off his glasses, even put the book back on the side table to his left. He hugged Rosalie tightly.
"Is Loui getting better?" Stefan asked the opening question.He knew that his wife was worried about their eldest son, who had locked himself in the building behind where they lived. Rosalie shook her head slowly, then replied, "He's . . . It seems to be getting worse, honey." Rosalie whispered. "But he acts strong every time I ask him how he's doing." Rosalie complained.Stefan chuckled softly. "Never ask him that, honey. Obviously he'll always say he's fine and doesn't need any help from us." Stefan explained at length.Rosalie sighed in resignation. "That kid... Always being so strong." Rosalie's monologue."His price is very high." Stefan said.Rosalie loosened heWith wide eyes, Luca voiced his curiosity. "So Loui has to really suck her blood?" Once again, Leona hit Luca's neck spontaneously. Her brother always asked that innocently. If Malia heard it, the girl would misunderstand and even misunderstand. Maybe, she just gave herself to Loui. "Awh! Why did you hit me again, Leona?" Luca groaned in annoyance. "That question of yours is too rash, Luca!" Leona exclaimed. "What's wrong with my question?" Luca asked dryly. Really, Luca didn't understand what he was saying. Either he doesn't understand, or does he really refuse to understand? She have no idea. Who knows? Leona sighed in resignation. Surrender to the behavior of her little brother. Forced, she had to explain everything as clearly as possible, so that there would be no misunderstanding between herself, Luca, and even Malia if the girl overheard the conversation without them knowing. "So how?" Luca asked curiously. "Loui doesn't need to suck it. For exa
Several weeks passed. Nothing significant happened to them. Everything goes normally like most teenagers' lives. Malia and Loui's relationship was no better than before, but things were going "just fine," as best they could. Meanwhile Ash had fully recovered. He returned to his usual activities, even started practicing Rugby, and occasionally accompanied his younger brother, Gabe, to practice basketball. Also on another occasion, he took the time to accompany Archie to practice soccer. Ash and Leona's relationship did not progress much. The two of them went about their day full of resentment, hatred, and other mixed feelings. Unfortunately, the relationship between Ash, Gabe, Archie and Lyla deteriorated. Since the incident at the hospital that day, Lyla has been acting annoyingly more and more often.Occasionally she always disturbs the intimacy between Ash and Leona. In fact, at other times, she openly met Irina and the other Skarsgards. We don't know what s
Lyla really came. The girl stood tall in front of Ash and Leona. She flashed her sweet smile when her hazel beads met Ash's. However, she immediately put on a flat expression when Leona looked up – staring at her expressionlessly. "I want to talk to you, Ash," Lyla said straight to the point. "Just the two of us. Without being bothered by anyone." said Lyla, emphasizing every word she said. Really wanted to point out, that, she just wanted to have a one-on-one talk with Ash. Not wanting anyone there, including Leona. Of course. Leona laughed awkwardly at Lyla's style of speech and behavior which she considered so annoying. Very annoying. The girl changed her expressionless gaze to a defiant look. Three seconds later, she rose from her seat – standing defiantly with her arms crossed over her chest. Really not wanting to lose, she showed her arrogant side in front of Lyla. For her, being arrogant in front of people who are more arrogant than h
"I was the one who sucked his blood until there was nothing left. Then, I cut off his head with my sharp nails. It's too much trouble creating a Hybrid, especially, he is an Alpha." Damien explained with a laugh at the end of his sentence.Damien's words managed to ignite Ash's anger. Slowly his body transformed. His long, sharp nails came to the surface, his gray fur was sticking out, and his body size was gradually increasing. Ash turned into a large wolf with gray fur. His gaze was cold and sharp. He howled with anger. He ran in all directions, chasing Damien who was darting here and there. Ash tried to lunge at Damien as best he could, but, unfortunately, his movement was still not as fast as Damien's. The man with the curly hair laughed loudly at all of Ash's attempts to attack him – tearing him apart blindly. "STOP WOLF BOY! COME TO ME IN A GOOD WAY. I'LL LET YOU ATTACK ME." Damien shouted.Damien descended from one of the large banyan t
Luca stomped his feet with difficulty. He entered the University environment, where his two siblings and Malia also studied. He awkwardly looked around, occasionally nodding faintly – responding politely to the greetings of several girls passing by. "Luca!" The bass voice that was so familiar to Luca's ears echoed through the void of the passage he had just explored. Luca boldly raised his head, looking straight at the source of the sound. A tall, well-built man was standing, waiting for him at the end of the hall. Luca increased his steps, in a short time he arrived in front of his brother who was looking at him questioningly. "I was about to pick you up, but, I couldn't find Leona anywhere. Did you wait too long?" said Loui at length. There was worry in every word he spoke. How come? This was the first time Luca came to him directly after school hours were over. Plus, Luca's gaze looked so confused. Different than usual.Instead of answerin
"STOP! I PLEASE!" someone shouted. Time seemed to stop. Everyone stood still – stunned by the unexpected scream, including Luca who had just put his feet on the ground, carrying Malia in his lap. In the next split second, after each of them came to their senses, one by one turned to the source of the sound. The girl dressed in purple ran over to Loui, who was still clutching her arm trying to strangle Irina's neck. The girl suddenly sat on her knees – prostrating in front of Loui's feet, pleading desperately, for the young man to let go of the plump girl who was under his control.Several pairs of eyes widen, -surprised to hear an unexpected request from a Lyla. Without exception Gabe, Archie, as well as Ash who fell limp. They were really surprised to hear a series of sentences uttered by a Lyla Justice, a girl who incidentally never wants to look weak and lose in front of anyone. However, at that time she looked so different from usual. Without h
"Is Leona going back to that bastard's arms?" Ash asked Loui. Ash, who had been in the forest suppressing his curiosity, finally got up the courage to ask. It turned out that he couldn't ignore his curiosity about everything related to a Leona Argent. Leona has her own charm in the eyes of an Ash. The girl already has such a neat place in the Alpha's heart. Perhaps, for a trivial matter, Ash could still ignore his curiosity. However, for this one he could not. Really can't. Because, he’s hearing it clearly – very clearly, Leona begged for forgiveness for him. On top of that, Leona said that she would do anything as long as Damien and his siblings released Ash – stopping the fight that was going on in the forest. Although Ash is a man who is slow in understanding all kinds of sensitive matters, but this one seems to be the exception. He really could distinguish Leona's tone of voice earlier. The girl sounded desperate, and meant what she said. Ash
"What are you guys fussing about?" Leona asked her two brothers. "You've raised your intonation. There must be something, right?" Leona suspected the two of them. Silence. The two of them were silent in a thousand languages. Neither of them were willing to give an answer, until Ash finally spoke up. "Just a man thing." Ash replied as is. No, not what it is. Ash only had an alibi, but indeed what he said was true. The thing that Luca and Loui were arguing about was indeed something that the men were arguing about, because the matter did happen between men, there was no female intervention. Leona quickly nodded indifferently. After all, the girl really believed Ash's words. "Are you... recovered?" Leona's pair of round eyes widened when she saw the Alpha sitting up straight with his face looking fresher than before.Ash has recovered. The energy has returned. Ash nodded confidently, then flashed a warm smile with sparkling eyes at the only girl in th
Since the incident that day Lyla has never appeared anywhere, even her cell phone number is not active. Even her aunts, uncles, and cousins never knew where Lyla had gone. What they know, that night Lyla just said goodbye to go see someone armed with her favorite purple long coat. For three months, all members of the police force were deployed to look for Lyla. But one day, all their efforts to no avail. nothing.And in the end, the entire Justice Family gave up looking for Lyla. However, they continued to place paid advertisements that were broadcast on all National and Private Television stations about the disappearance of one of their family members. On the other hand, Archie who still can't reduce his love for Malia chooses to date any girl. To this day, Archie's new identity as a Hybrid is still a secret—not publicly disclosed. It's just that, when someone asks, he will admit that he is a Hybrid. And without hesitation he will tell the series of events that made
Ash focused his entire attention on Rosalie, his gaze fixed on the woman in red in front of him. Even though Rosalie appeared resigned, he knew that as a mother, Rosalie wanted to use all of her strength to find her beloved daughter's body.They scattered through the forest in a straight line—parallel to facilitate common ground when they found what they were looking for—at that moment, after each gave a nod of agreement. *** At Skarsgard Castle Gabe and his two friends were visibly concerned as they observed some of the sturdy structures partially collapsing. Not at all, contrary to what Loui previously stated. Instead of being completely destroyed by fire, the classic structure was only partially destroyed.The Beta has surrounded every corner of the castle, looking for a safe entrance to assist the eldest Argent who is still inside.When he was about to bring his four legs into one of the building's corners, a pair of hands restrained all of his movem
Rosalie just nodded when she heard all kinds of information conveyed by the big tall man in front of her. He reported about the fight that took place between Ash, Damien and Leona. And the girl became the only victim in the incident. While Stefan and Charles could only sigh, Malia was the only one shedding tears, and Luca looked so angry when he heard the whole series of events. "What about Loui?" Malia asked the big man in front of them. The girl looked so worried about the situation of the Eldest Argent who had now become part of the Skarsgard Family. "Is Loui all right there?" asked Malia again. The man was silent, unable to give a definite answer to the petite girl in front of him, because he had not yet had time to enter Skarsgard Castle when he arrived at the frontier. In the next split second he shrugged his shoulders, then gave a faint nod in response. "Sorry, Malia. I don't know how he's doing. Just pray that he's okay now." Malia n
Loui calmly let go of Irina's grip in one jolt, then pulled a sheet of iron cover on the side of the furnace —closing the hole immediately. In an instant the huge hole was completely closed. Loui could only hear Irina's screams after the hearth had been stuffed with thick iron sheets. "Sorry, Irina. This is not the day I died." Loui's monologue before he finally made his way down the stairs and looked for the rest of the castle's inhabitants. Lucien, and Victoria of course.***The forest that Ash and Damien had previously used as a place to fight was quiet again as before being touched by the two. Only the chirping of owls can be heard when the night is on duty to replace all the carefree chirping that only appears when the sky is clear. A pair of feet entered the forest, occasionally stopping in their tracks while looking around —scanning every corner. The owner of the legs again moved towards the only big tree that was there
CRASH!Damien separated the girl's head from her body in one strong tug. At the same time Ash turned around. His body froze as he saw Damien's hand holding the girl's head which had been separated from her body."Take this!" Damien threw the girl's head at Ash who was frozen on the other side. "Have fun with her!" Damien laughed. His husky voice rose, filling all the silence and darkness that began to cover the forest. He was still reluctant to leave the place —wanting to see what kind of reaction the Alpha would show when he saw his girl was dead because of his actions. Ash spontaneously caught what Damien threw in front of him. He hugged her, then looked at the girl's face which looked much paler. He rubbed the girl's previously closed eyelids. A few seconds after Ash brought his leg to the place where the girl's body fell. With shaking hands, the Alpha lifted the piece of the body —carrying it to a tree house not far from where he s
"Go home. I know what I have to do." The baritone voice was firm and deep. Different than usual. Not like Ash she really knew. Even his sharp glare looked different. Dark. As Damien showed when he witnessed all the intimacy they displayed in front of him. Without saying anything Ash also Damien shifted and flocked towards the pine forest behind the hills. Leona gave chase, but swiftly —without considering all the risks, Damien waved one hand at the girl who was trying to tail him and the Alpha. The girl was thrown far away —rolling off the top of the hill. In the next split second Damien waved his hand again, then made a movement like he was tying something from a distance. At the same time Leona groaned as her body felt like it was bound. Ash turned around, jumped into the air with part of his body starting to grow gray fur, then lunged and attacked Damien with his wolf body. Damien collapsed and counterattacked —avoiding all sorts of
"Can't you stop talking?" She asked.Leona repeated her words for the umpteenth time. She desired to do something other than converse with the young man in her arms."I’ll do. But, can you promise me one thing?" Ash's expression was solemn. In contrast to what he had previously demonstrated. He meant what he said, and he expected the girl to make a vow to him.Leona paused for a moment, taking a deep breath before responding to the Alpha's request. "Go ahead and do it. Declare it." She posed a challenge."Please allow me to set you free. Will you? "The Alpha replied with all the sincerity he could muster through his gaze.Leona frowned in confusion. The bases of her brows almost fused together—meeting at the same point. She was nervous. Not reluctant to answer, it's just that she knows the true meaning of the Alpha's words. She realized that Ash knew what she was dealing with right now. Through his sharp gaze, he gave a sign which was
Silence. The girl in front of him remained silent. Her glance, too, was bland and expressionless. It appears to be both cold and frightening.Aware of the situation, Ash gently placed a helmet over Leona's head, ensuring that it fit properly and protected one of the girl's most valuable portions of her body.After successfully donning the headgear, Ash mounted his motorcycle, started it, and held out his right hand in front of the girl, intending to assist her in riding his iron horse, which was large and tall, making it difficult for the girls to ride. After Leona sat safely behind Ash's back and hugged him from behind, Ash stepped on the gas. The girl was deafeningly quiet, didn't say anything, and her face was not as animated as it had been. Despite the fact that he didn't believe he had done anything wrong or even hurt Leona's feelings, Ash chose to pull over to the side of the road and talk to her."Hey?"Ash rubbed Leona's skin with his two thumbs aft
Ash kept smiling—he'd been staring at his reflection in the mirror for 15 minutes. He continued to examine himself from head to toe, including the clothes that were on his body at the time.Ash could hide a pile of clothes he'd been trying on for 30 minutes if he shifted a little behind his back. He was really busy figuring out what clothes and looks would suit Leona, doing all sorts of things with her for an entire day, as he had promised her a few days before.***"Can we have a picnic in the hills, Leona, your parents' favorite spot?"Leona's round eyes narrowed as she suspected something. "Are you trying to ask me out on a date?" Leona confidently inquired."If so, will you refuse?" Ash asked, nodding without hesitation.Leona's left brow furrowed as she clearly heard the Alpha's bold, defiant response. The young man appeared to be becoming more daring in expressing his will. Leona took a deep breath and folded her arms across her chest, h
