In a vast and ornate hall, Xavier Chul, the Alpha of the Blue Sea Pack, paced back and forth, his footsteps echoing against the marble floor. The hall exuded a sense of grandeur, with high arched ceilings adorned with intricate carvings, and towering stained glass windows that allowed slivers of colorful light to filter through, casting vibrant patterns on the polished surface.Ezekiel, Xavier's trusted advisor, stood near a massive wooden table, stacked with scrolls and documents. He watched Xavier with a calm demeanor, his sky coloured hair catching the subtle glimmers of light. As the Alpha's footsteps approached, Ezekiel took a deep breath, preparing himself for the conversation ahead."Xavier, we must talk," Ezekiel began, his voice steady and measured. "It has been years, and there has been no trace of your lost mate. It may be time to consider other options, for the sake of the pack and your own well-being."Xavier halted abruptly, his eyes narrowing with a cold expression on h
Xavier's anticipation was palpable as he arrived at the designated location, an elegant, old-looking castle that stood in stark in a vast land. However, as he stepped inside, his excitement quickly turned to disappointment. The lady who was introduced to him had short gold hair and black eyes that held a certain allure, but she was not his mate.His heart sank as he realized that the search for his beloved would continue. The castle's opulence and grandeur seemed to mock his hopes, and he struggled to hide his disappointment. Despite his inner turmoil, he maintained his composure, his features betraying only a flicker of sadness.In the opulent drawing room, the lady's parents, who exuded an air of wealth and refinement, engaged in a polite conversation with him. Their voices were filled with cordiality, but Xavier couldn't shake the feeling that he was a mere pawn in their games of status and influence.As the conversation continued, a delicate figure peeked from behind the heavy dra
Lilith sat cross-legged on her bed, engrossed in the pages of a captivating book. Her face was buried within its depths as she lost herself in the world of words. The room was quiet, save for the rustling of pages and the occasional sound of her breath.Suddenly, a gust of wind whistled through the room, causing the curtains to billow and dance. Lith looked up, her eyes widening in surprise, as the window that had always been locked swung open with a creak. The wind seemed to beckon her, inviting her to embrace the unknown that lay beyond.Startled, Lilith remembered her parents' strict instructions never to open the window. Concern etched across her face as she scrambled off the bed, a sense of urgency propelling her movements. She hurriedly made her way towards the open window, determined to secure it shut before any unwanted consequences could occur.As she reached out to grasp the window latch, her heart pounding in her chest, the book she had been engrossed in slipped from her gr
Lith lay on her bed, her thoughts consumed by the enigmatic man she had glimpsed through her window. The memory of their locked gazes played on a loop in her mind, stirring a whirlwind of emotions within her. She found herself yearning for something more, something beyond the boundaries of her confined existence.As her mind wandered through the possibilities, an audacious idea suddenly sparked in her thoughts—a chance to escape the constraints of her surroundings and embark on an adventure of her own. The notion took hold of her, igniting a fire within her spirit that she couldn't ignore.Without hesitation, Lith jumped off her bed, determination propelling her movements. She hurriedly made her way to a hidden corner of her room, where she had carefully concealed a bundle of clothes twisted together to form a makeshift rope. It was her secret preparation for a moment just like this, a desperate attempt at freedom.Her hands trembled slightly as she unraveled the twisted fabric, her mi
The enigmatic man called out to Lilith, his voice breaking the silence of the room. "Hey, hey, hey!" he exclaimed, snapping his fingers in front of her face. The abrupt sound and movement jolted Lilith out of her daze, bringing her back to the present moment.She blinked, her eyes refocusing on the man standing before her. Confusion mixed with a trace of fear clouded her expression as she struggled to regain her composure."What were you thinking?" he scolded, his tone laced with a hint of concern as his gaze was locked on her. "You should never attempt such a reckless escape. Your family has their reasons for keeping you here."Lith's heart sank as his words sank in. She had been caught, her secret plans unraveling before her eyes. A mixture of embarrassment and disappointment washed over her, realizing the futility of her attempted escape.Her eyes followed the man's gaze as he glanced towards the twisted cloth rope she had painstakingly created. Without hesitation, he reached out a
Lilith's heart filled with gratitude as she attempted to express her thanks to Chul for his assistance and guidance. However, her words fell upon deaf ears as he remained unresponsive, his cold expression unchanged. The air in the room seemed to thicken with an unspoken tension, leaving Lith uncertain of Chul's intentions or the reasons behind his stoic demeanor.Without uttering a single word, Chul turned towards the door, his steps purposeful and resolute. As he reached the threshold, he paused, his hand resting on the doorknob. With a stern gaze fixed upon Lith, he finally broke the silence."Stay within this room until my men and I have gone far enough that you can't fathom," he commanded, his voice firm and devoid of any trace of warmth. His words carried a sense of urgency, hinting at unseen dangers that lay beyond the castle walls.Lith nodded, a mixture of confusion and apprehension clouding her expression. She understood the weight of his warning and the necessity of caution.
In the dead of night, Lilith's eyes fluttered open, her determination to escape pulsating through her veins. She had reached a breaking point, and the longing for freedom outweighed the fear that had held her captive for so long. Carefully, she slipped out of her bed, ensuring not to make a sound that might alert her parents or the guards.Lilith tiptoed to a hidden corner of her room, where the strange guy had meticulously placed plates on the wall to aid in her escape.Pulling up the curtains, she stared at her means of escape with a smile on her face."I'll be free now," she assured herself.Gripping onto the first plate, she tested its sturdiness before placing her weight upon it. The metal groaned softly, but held. She took a deep breath, her heart pounding in her chest, as she began to climb.Silently, she ascended the wall, using the plates as her makeshift ladder. The adrenaline fueled her every move, pushing her closer to the freedom she craved. The night air whispered agains
Alpha Xavier Chul stood at the center of the grand hall, his commanding presence emanating strength and authority. The elders, wise and experienced members of his pack, listened intently as he addressed them. His voice resonated through the chamber, carrying a mixture of determination and concern."My esteemed elders, I stand before you today with a heavy heart. The search for my mate has been arduous and filled with countless obstacles. I have traversed vast lands, followed every lead, and encountered faces that held promise but were not the one I seek."The elders exchanged glances, their expressions reflecting a combination of sympathy and concern. Whispers filled the air, discussing the significance of the alpha's quest and the toll it had taken on him and the pack."Alpha Chul, we understand the importance of finding your mate. But perhaps it is time to shift our focus. Our pack needs your leadership and guidance now more than ever," Elder Jones stood up and contributed."Yes, Xa
As the priest awaited Lilith's response, she hesitated for a moment, her mind caught in a whirlwind of uncertainty. She had meant her previous words as a question, a plea for clarification. But the priest, oblivious to her intended meaning, assumed she had responded affirmatively and proceeded with the wedding ceremony.Lilith's heart sank as the realisation dawned upon her. She glanced around, searching for any sign of understanding in the eyes of those present.It was then that she locked eyes with Alpha Chul, her partner in this complicated journey. He was the only one who caught on to her confusion, his perceptive gaze seeing beyond the surface.A sly smirk slowly graced Chul's lips, understanding passing between them. He knew what Lilith had intended to convey, and he relished in the amusing turn of events. It was a fleeting moment of shared humour amidst the seriousness of the occasion.As the ceremony continued, Lilith couldn't help but feel a mix of frustration and amusement.
As his canines grew long and sharp, Chul bit into the in-between of Lilith's neck and shoulder, causing her to wince in pain and cry out. He licked away the blood from the bite mark before tenderly placing soothing kisses on her, trying to comfort her as she cried against his shoulder. However, she suddenly pulled away from him, pushing him away forcefully."I fucking hate you," she cried, her hands covering the bitten area as she continued to feel the pain."I'm sorry. Let me help you soothe the pain," Chul offered, genuinely concerned for her well-being. However, Lilith immediately stopped him from approaching her."I don't need your help," she said, her voice filled with anger and hurt. She tried to retrieve her rolling travel box from him, but as her hand brushed against his, she quickly pulled back, feeling a rush of spark between them."What's wrong with your hands?" she asked, her gaze fixated on his, her tone a mix of curiosity and confusion. She managed to snatch her box aw
Xavier could now see the similarities that he never saw in Lilith before. She looked more matured, and he noticed a certain beauty about her that seemed to be a combination of her own and someone else's. As he watched her, she placed the brush on the counter and ran her hands across its surface with a sad expression on her face. She then turned away from the mirror, picked up her rollable traveling box, and began walking out of the room.From the reflection in her mirror, Lilith had caught sight of Chul seated in her room, but she pretended as though she didn't see him. She avoided his piercing gaze and hurriedly moved toward the door. However, before she could open it and escape, he stopped her by placing his hands on hers, which were on the doorknob. This action made her freeze, her shoulders tensing up.Slowly, Xavier removed her hands from the doorknob and took her rolling bags from her. He gently made her turn toward him, but she kept her gaze fixed on the floor, avoiding his ey
Alpha Chul kept staring blurrily at Lilith's already dilated pupils."But your eyes... they are in shades of golden colors. Or are my eyes deceiving me because I'm about to die?" he asked weakly, his voice barely audible. His gaze remained fixed on her eyes, though they appeared blurry to him.Lilith's heart ached as she heard his feeble words. She knew time was running out, and the urgency in his voice only intensified her fear. "You need to leave, Lilith. I've mind linked the warriors, and they will come for you," he urged, his gaze locked on her dilated pupils. Slowly, his eyelids closed, sealing his vision in darkness.Tears welled up in Lilith's eyes as she cried out, "Alvin, please don't leave me!" Determined not to let him go without a fight, she hastily removed his shirt, tossing it aside, as if shedding the weight of their impending doom.As her gaze fell upon his bare torso, a gasp escaped her lips. It was a sight that tore at her soul—his flesh marred by numerous bullet wo
The war raged on with a ferocity that filled the air with the sounds of battle. Explosions and the clash of weapons reverberated through the night, creating an atmosphere fraught with danger. Lilith, seated in the car, watched as chaos unfolded around her. Fear gripped her heart, rendering her immobile. The sight of the violent conflict unfolding before her eyes overwhelmed her with a sense of terror.However, a surge of determination coursed through Lilith's veins as she recalled her promise to protect Alpha Chul. Summoning every ounce of courage within her, she took a deep breath and mustered the strength to step out of the car. Her bow and quiver of arrows hung securely behind her, ready to be unleashed.Stepping onto the battlefield, Lilith felt her heartbeat pounding in her ears, the adrenaline coursing through her veins. She found a strategic position, ensuring she had a clear line of sight. Taking a moment to steady her trembling hands, she focused on her task at hand.As she
Alpha Alvin walked into the gym room where the warriors were preparing for the war."If you're going to war, Lilith, you need to know how to defend yourself because I'll be at the battlefront and I can't take you there with me," Alpha Chul stated, his voice filled with concern as he walked around her. They stood in the spacious gym room where the warriors were preparing for the upcoming battle.Lilith shrugged, a hint of determination in her eyes. "I can defend myself, don't worry."He arched an eyebrow. "And how do you plan to defend yourself?""I can shoot arrows. I saw it in her memory, and I have a strong feeling that I can do it," she replied confidently.Alpha Chul motioned for one of the warriors to bring him a bow and arrow. The warrior promptly fetched the requested items and handed them to him."Alright, Lilith. See that target over there? If you can propel the arrow and hit the bullseye, then you can come with us," he explained, placing the arrows in her hands before steppi
Alpha Chul crouched to the floor as he felt a sudden pain in his heart, as though an important element in his life was about to leave."Annabelle, please don't leave me. Lilith, come and hug me now. Annabelle is about to go away from my heart... go away from there so you wouldn't get pulled in," Chul pleaded, his voice filled with desperation. He saw tears streaming down Lilith's face, and his instinct was to run to her, but in her attempt to reach him, her footing slipped on the edge of the cliff, causing her to fall backward.A surge of panic filled Lilith as she plummeted, but she managed to grab hold of a stone jutting out from the cliff's edge. Hanging on for dear life, she heard Chul's voice calling out her name as he peered down the cliff."I can't hold on for too long. I have no idea why I want to live now," she yelled, her voice trembling with fear."Take my hand," Chul offered, extending his hand toward her. As soon as she grasped his hand, a flood of memories rushed throug
Lilith woke from her sleep, her eyes fluttering open. She felt a lingering sensation, a memory that seemed vivid yet out of place. Her heart raced with confusion as she glanced around her room, realizing that she was alone."Was that my memory?" she pondered silently, her voice laced with uncertainty. The image of Alpha Chul, her mate, laying on her with her long hair caressing his face, had been so clear. But now, in the emptiness of her room, it could only mean that it had been a dream.Tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice cracked with a broken heart. "Was it all just a dream?" she murmured, her disappointment washing over her. The memory had felt so real, so intimate, and now it was ripped away from her.Frustration surged through her, overwhelming her senses. She yelled in anguish, throwing her cushion aside and succumbing to a torrent of tears. The weight of confusion and longing pressed upon her, intensifying the pain she felt.As she rose from her bed, voices began to ech
Immediately gripping the doorknob, Lilith forcefully swung the door open and rushed out of the room in a state of panic. However, her frantic escape came to an abrupt halt as she sensed the presence of the ghostly figures standing before her. Panic washed over her, and before she could gather her thoughts, she instinctively turned away, only to sense another presence behind her. Overwhelmed by fear and unable to think clearly, she dashed towards the nearest door she saw, desperately locking it behind her.Meanwhile, Alpha Chul sat in his room, drowning his sorrows in liquor while memories of his past with his deceased mate consumed his thoughts. After witnessing Lilith's terrified reaction in the woods, he became convinced that she had encountered a ghost. Observing her flee from the woods, he detected the presence of a rogue wolf nearby, prompting him to unsheathe his sword with difficulty. Determined to protect Lilith, he vanished into the depths of the dark woods, pursuing the t
