*Locas*

The person in front of me was... Was that Mia?

Did she come out of Krell's office? There was so much commotion. It seemed like she was quite angry.

Did that mean my chance had come?

But... why was Mia's shirt collar loose? If it was lower, her chest could be seen!

What was she doing? She was stuffing the shirt tail neatly back into her skirt, and she had hickeys on her neck. What had Krell done to her? She looked like those women who had just spent the night with me!

When she was out of sight, anger burned uncontrollably in my belly. I suddenly pushed open the office door.

"Krell, what have you done to Mia!" I couldn't help but shout at Krell.

"None of your business." Two buttons on Krell's shirt were undone. His voice was hoarse. The guy looked to be in a bad mood.

I recalled Mia's sad look just now, and my heart suddenly ached. I was always full of compassion for beautiful women, let alone Mia. D*mned Krell! He made Mia so sad.

"Krell, Mia is different from other women. You won't get her if you try to force her. I know what you're planning. You want to use this method to control Mia and use her to make your pack stronger."

"Isn't that also your goal? Locas, who always prioritizes benefits and beauty." Krell was really cunning.

"But I won't force her. I respect every lady's opinion. I'm not as despicable as you." I still couldn't get over what Krell had just done.

"You're equally detestable by using your wound to gain Mia's sympathy."

Krell lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. Then he walked over to me.

"But now it seems like we're both failing to make Mia happy," Krell suddenly said. His voice relaxed and was not as fierce as before. There was even a hint of loss in his tone.

Look at how pitiful he was… How could a cold person like him win any woman's heart?

"How about this? We'll compete fairly. It's up to Mia to decide who she'll be with and who she'll become mates with," I said.

There was no point in this guy trying to compete with me. So many women had been charmed by me. I knew that Mia would be one of them sooner or later.

"Okay," Krell replied, accepting the challenge.

***

*Mia*

Was that how Krell really thought of me? Was I a sleeping beauty who could only be watched?

No, it was not like that. I could have my own wonderful life. I wouldn't just be helpless and rely on these conceited men!

But what could I do?

I couldn't help but remind myself of my childhood dream. I, as a 14-year-old girl, used to dream of becoming an advanced healer. I wanted to save lives.

With that thought in mind, I arrived at Krell's office door.

I knocked on his door, and his familiar voice answered.

I encouraged myself inwardly and finally said the sentence I had been holding in for so long.

"I want to resign."

Krell averted his eyes from the contract on his desk to look at me. His brows furrowed, deep and dangerously as they hooded his eyes.

"Say that again." The coldness in Krell's voice took me by surprise.

"I don't want your protection anymore. I want to resign. I don't want to rely on you," I clarified.

"Oh? Did you find a better job than you have here right now?" Krell asked.

His tone was flippant. It seemed as if he believed I couldn't find a job without him? That made me angrier.

"When I'm done with my current work, I'll submit my resignation to you," I emphasize again.

"Very good. But with my ability, you will have my influence no matter where you go. I think it's impossible for you not to rely on me." Perhaps Krell was really angry, so his words were especially hurtful.

I wanted to be angry with Krell. Why couldn't he just try to understand my needs? But my anger soon subsided as I saw the dark circles under his eyes. He looked tired. Though I was angry with him, I did want to make him suffer.

I was learning to change, and so was he.

I should give him a chance.

***

*Krell*

Mia was really persistent. This was the fourth time she had come to tell me about resigning. What good was it for her to quit? Wasn't it better to live a relaxed life under my protection?

Besides, I really didn't want her to resign. If she resigned, she would not be an employee of the company anymore, and I would not see her every day. She would not listen to me anymore and be under my control. I hated not being in control!

"Krell, whether you like it today or not, I have to resign."

It was that sentence again. I knew how to deal with it. As long as I pretended to be tired or injured, Mia would not force the issue. I rubbed my temples and pretended to be very exhausted.

I knew that she would next gently persuade me to rest early and not mention resigning again.

"Krell, you really need to get some rest. I don't want to disturb you like this, so I won't be here tomorrow, and I don't need my salary anymore."

Wait… Why was today different? She should have been worried about me!

Mia had already reached the door and was about to walk out of the office.

I couldn't watch her leave. I hurried after Mia and grabbed her arm, forcing her to face me.

"Let go!" She flung her arms, trying to escape my grasp.

I certainly would not let her get away. I squeezed my hand a little harder and pulled her into my arms. Her body was so soft and warm that it made me want to hold her like this for the rest of my life.

She started to resist again, her hand slapping violently against my chest.

'We'll compete fairly.' The agreement with Locas came to my mind.

Yes, as we said, Mia's wishes deserved to be respected. We should compete fairly.

I had to admit that Locas was right. Forcing Mia like this would only make her hate me more. I needed to reason with her, and only then could I keep her.

I let go of her and said, "Mia, it's the only decent job you can get right now. What are you going to do if you quit? Do you want to go back to working in a horrible hotel like that?"

"I want to open a clinic," Mia answered me.

"But you don't have any money," I said without thinking.

"That's my own business," Mia replied. Her voice was extremely indifferent.

"You have no money or power. What can you rely on? Your best choice is to rely on me." I thought I was calm enough. "Mia, trust me..."

Then, a slap landed on my face.

"Stop talking!" Mia glared at me angrily. "You still have not changed."

"I'm just being honest and telling the truth." I didn't understand why Mia was angry again.

    The sunlight shone in through the window and landed on Krell and Locas's faces. They both looked at me with bright eyes.I looked at their solemn expressions and earnest gazes and softened. After all, I couldn't keep dwelling on the past when two people of such noble status apologized to me so sincerely and helped me so passionately."Alright, then I'll forgive you. If you say or do anything disrespectful to me again, I'll really get pissed off," I pretended to be angry and said to them angrily.Locas laughed out loud. He patted my face gently.

    *Mia*I had to wait until I was feeling less afraid before I could slowly approach the gray wolf. It suddenly moved, looked up at me, and put one foot on mine. Among shifters, this was a universal move to show friendliness.I gently held the wolf's claw and a familiar scent floated over me. It was a medicinal herb called dipterocarpus from the distant east. According to Willard, it could clear a fever, detoxify poison, and refresh the mind. He often brewed this tea to drink. Therefore, over time, he started to smell of dipterocarpus."Willard! Are you Willard?" I asked.The gray wolf nodded weakly.Simon said, "Let's get him to bed."I thought about it. With his serious injuries, he couldn't move too much at the moment, or he would bleed more. There was only one way to stop the bleeding.At this moment, Simon's phone rang. After answering the call, he looked a little hesitant."Simon, do you need something?" I heard a stern voice on the other end of the phone. I figured it should be hi

    *Mia*I was stunned. "What was Willard doing?"At first, he turned his head away from me. I thought he was asleep again, but just as I was about to leave, he took my hand.He slept fitfully, and in his sleep, he seemed to be fighting something fiercely. This worried me. I took his hand instead and called his name, trying to wake him from his nightmare.But he took my hand so hard that I lost my balance and fell onto him.Was he kissing me?His lips were so soft. He kissed me so gently. He cupped my face in one hand as if it were a treasure. His other hand slid down my shoulder to my back, roaming it.I heard him murmur softly, "Mia, Mia, mark me..."Upon hearing these words, Krell's stubborn expression suddenly appeared in my mind, and I instantly became sober.I hurriedly pushed Willard away. It definitely wasn't because of Krell. I said that he wasn't my mate, but I had no idea why I would think of him in such a situation.Willard's eyes were half-closed. His usually clear eyes were

    I was still feeling a little nervous around him. Simon had been acting so strange recently. I couldn't help picking up his nervous energy every time I saw him.When he insisted that we needed to talk, the clinic was about to close. I told Willard to take it from there and then put on my coat, and left with Simon. I kept sensing a growing distance between us.He said that he wanted to talk to me. It just so happened that I wanted to make things clear to him as well.It was a little cold, and I was only wearing a thin trench coat. As a gust of wind blew over, a yellow leaf fell on me. I was so cold that I shivered. Immediately after, a warm coat was draped over me, and I saw Simon smiling at me.This was the Simon I knew. His warmth always came unexpectedly and made me feel warm from the bottom of my heart."Mia, come on, let's go eat first," he insisted. "You don't know how annoyed I get going to so many meetings.. At this moment, his eyebrows relaxed into a somewhat playful shape.My m

    Fireworks in the SkyAs soon as he finished speaking, I followed his gaze and took in a dazzling display of fireworks blooming in the sky. The explosions against the velvety black sky drummed to the very beat of my heart. It was spectacular and colorful.I was moved to tears as I leaned into Simon. It made me feel like a princess. Sitting in the warm bubble of Simon's embrace, among the clouds I felt like a goddess, as well as the most honored woman in the world.When the fireworks dissipated, the drones were deployed. They formed words in the sky. "Mia, I love you."At this moment, Simon hugged me tighter and whispered those words in my ear, "Mia, I love you."The words were so pleasant to hear and also too heavy for me to bear.My heart beat erratically and my mind went blank. I didn't know what to do. I broke free from Simon and wanted to escape this fairytale of an illusion.However, he quickly pulled me back. His eyes were burning with flames that I had never seen before.He cuppe

    *Mia*Locas was getting on my nerves and I decided that he was the person I hated the most right now.He looked at me with that condescending look like I was an idiot."I don't think you need to participate in that exchange meeting. It's just a meeting set up by swindlers. It's worthless other than swindling money from some ignorant people." Locas's hands were in his pockets as if he was some important figure, but his words cut like a knife.What did he mean? Was he implying that I was an idiot? Look at how sarcastic he sounded! Who would have thought that such words would come from the elegant Locas?"You... How could you slander me like this? I've learned a lot about antiques these past few days. I even went to classes when I was free. Willard accompanied me to these classes." If I was wrong, Willard would have stopped me."Willard, tell him, didn't you go to the classes with me? You even accompanied me to the meeting, right?" I could really use some backup.Willard smiled at me. "Ye

My heart almost jumped out of my chest.I scolded him, but he laughed it off, which was ridiculous.Although the car had stabilized, I could still hear my heart pounding violently. Locas, this desperado, was still asking me if it was exciting! All I wanted to do was to punch him on the head.Pulling out the moon goddess necklace, I muttered, "Noble and holy moon goddess, I think I met a lunatic. What should I do?""Hahaha..." Locas laughed hysterically. I covered my ears in pain.When I saw Locas speaking confidently when he was invited to speak on stage by the organizers at the auction venue, I was secretly shocked.I had always thought that he was just an ignorant, incompetent, and cheeky fellow. I didn't expect him to put away his cynical side and behave like a gentleman.His every move exuded the elegance of a noble.I heard two girls discussing behind me. "Is this Sail

    "Oh, my good daughter, since you refuse to come home, I am forced to come to you. Your smell has changed. Have you already had sex with some other guy? Do you want to try it with me now? You might think I'm better than them." I struggled to break free, but I was no match for him. As he tore my clothes apart, the door was kicked open. Then the lights were turned on. Krell was standing in the doorway. His hand had already turned into a wolf claw. He pointed at my foster father and said coldly, "Get lost immediately, or I'll definitely rip your throat out. If you don't believe me, you can try me." My foster father was clearly frightened. His grip on me loosened a lot. Krell reached out to me. I threw myself into his arms. Krell held me tightly in his arms with one hand. His wolf claw was shining under the light. He suddenly swung at my foster father. My foster father hurriedly dodged him. But because the room was too small, my foster father was still injured. There was a long woun

    Could we really start over? Bullshit! I tried to break free from his embrace, but Simon's arms were so strong that I couldn't break free. His lips were so warm. He was still kissing me. He bit my lips and stuck his tongue into my mouth. I gradually let my guard down. His gentleness was like the spring breeze, which was melting me. I even began to respond. His hand had already reached into my clothes and caressed my back. I felt really hot, and he had already unbuttoned my bra. "Mia, can we start over? Give me a chance! I don't want to lose you!" He kept repeating that sentence in my ear. My earlobe was in his mouth. My last rationality made me want to push him away forcefully, but I felt really weak at that time. I failed to push him away. I shouted, "No! I don't want to see any of you!" Somehow, I started crying. I had to admit that I was kind of unfaithful. I was greedy for them to pamper and protect me, but I didn't want to be their plaything or tool. However, when everyth

    I retracted my scepter, and my true body returned to my usual appearance. Krell and the others had returned to their human forms and stood beside me. I felt extremely tired. These people were just trying to use me. I suddenly felt extremely disappointed and disgusted with them. Krell had already stepped forward and grabbed me. "Mia, listen to me..." I interrupted him. "Listen to what? I don't want to listen to any of your explanations. I've had enough. You're all the same. No matter what your motives are, no matter how you appear to me or approach me, your purpose is the same. You just want to use me to help your pack. I'm very disappointed. I don't want to have any more dealings with you. Today's matter ends here. I'm no longer the Moon Goddess. I'm only Mia, that ordinary woman." I took off the crown, and the moment I took it off, the light on my body was attracted into it. Just as the light on my body was about to completely disappear, I picked up the scepter and threw it ha

    Suddenly, a coolness flowed from the top of my head to my whole body. The crown on my head let out a low hum. I instinctively thought of the scepter. I pounced on the ground not far away, and my fingers touched the scepter that had fallen to the ground. I gripped the scepter tightly. A weak force circulated around my fingertips, guiding my arm and raising it high up to the bright moon in the sky. My headache instantly disappeared, and a long, strange line of words appeared in my mind. It was the incantation of the ancient gods. In an instant, the scepter emitted a myriad of rays of light and the brilliance of the moon, constantly merging together. The entire sky was illuminated by silver light. The silver moonlight drifted down and wrapped everyone in it. Stars from the scepter scattered around like flowing water, also enveloping the five men beside me and falling on them. The magic from the scepter made them recover quickly. The moonlight shone on their bodies. The blood on th

    Krell shouted at Willard to be careful! The next moment, he stood behind Willard and was slammed with a claw heavily on his back. Krell was knocked to the ground. Then, a few wild wolves took the opportunity to pounce on him and bite his shoulder, back, and throat. Willard was shocked. He hurriedly rushed over and knocked away the wolves. Locas also hissed at Willard. "Willard, take care of your brother. We'll take care of these people." However, the current situation was even more critical. Although Simon and Locas were not weak, it was simply too difficult for the two of them to deal with so many wild wolves. With Kasim heavily injured, it was impossible for him to return to his human form, let alone fight. Willard hugged his brother and shouted Krell's name. His entire body was covered in blood. His neck had been severely bitten open, and several pieces of flesh on his shoulder and back had been torn off. It looked like a disaster. They were both in human form and Willard w

    Hundreds of years ago, a series of events happened to the Lycan packs that resulted in changes. When they begged for power, they experienced countless difficulties and dangers. Every species had the right to evolution. The Sun God and I gave them the ability to evolve, and I, the Moon Goddess, became the guardian of their worship. They promised me that they would not be enemies with humans, be friendly with the packs for generations, and not do anything to harm their people. Everyone would live together in their respective territories and maintain the prosperity of all packs. However, 1,000 years later, as technology developed, the Lycan leaders were gradually consumed by greed. They forgot their original intention and began to do all kinds of things to hurt other Lycan for the sake of power and wealth. And their various despicable actions finally got in the way of the interests of all Lycan, causing the most innocent and most powerless among them to fight for survival. Therefor

    *Mia* Willard was always so meticulous. He led the way for us while Kasim and I followed behind. We had to find the entrance to the treasure as soon as possible. Otherwise, tonight would be a big problem. What made me feel strange was that we couldn't find the entrance when the sign on the map clearly indicated that we were near the treasure. I found it hard to understand. Kasim became very serious. He followed beside me. As he held my hand, he comforted me softly, "Mia, don't be afraid. I got you." His voice was still as delicate as ever, like a child. If I hadn't seen him fighting with the hungry wolves, I wouldn't have believed that he was that powerful alpha. I smiled and patted his hand. "Okay, don't worry! Willard will take care of everything." He pouted. "Mia, you only trust Willard and never trust me?" I was surprised. "Where does this come from? Willard has always been the most careful person!" Willard said without turning around, "Stop talking. Let's hurry up.

    With Kasim blocking the wolves, they weren't able to come near us. I slowly stopped. This made me feel a little strange. I wondered if they'd just walk away. I wanted to see what was going on, but a few huge rocks blocked my vision. I pushed Mia into the corner behind the boulder and said, "Mia, listen. Stay here and remain hidden. I'm going to see if Kasim needs help." Mia was really a gullible girl. She nodded vigorously. "But Willard, you have to be careful too. I don't want you to get hurt again. You haven't fully recovered yet." I felt warm. Her eyes were filled with concern. At this moment, I believed that I meant a lot to her. I couldn't help but stop and hug her gently. She stroked my cheek and said earnestly, "Willard, you have to believe that I'm really worried about you. Can you promise me to take care of yourself?" Her gaze was so clear that it made me feel like everything I was doing was a sin. In her presence, I only wanted to repent. I was lying to her. I wante

    I looked away from Willard's gaze and decided to put these things as far in the back of my head as I could until this expedition was over. I smiled and said, "Kasim, that was really impressive. I didn't expect you to have such an ability." Kasim proudly stood with his arm crossed, holding a cool posture and said, "Don't forget, I'm the next alpha. How can I become the alpha if I'm ordinary? Did you underestimate me?" All I wanted was for Willard to be safe. I was extremely happy. Willard was in much better shape now. His injuries had already healed. I held Willard's arm and looked up with a smile. "That's wonderful. Willard, you're doing so well. I'm so happy for you. How are you feeling right now?" Willard's voice was still a little weak. "I'm fine. I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after some rest." I had to admit that he really had a strong physique. Now that he has recovered, we had to consider moving forward.
