Nyx’s POV

Why does Eva keep glancing outside while we’re dancing? What’s in there?

As we swirl, I get the dance to look outside the window. But I see nothing.

Weird.

As I dance, all I’m thinking about is Amelia. What is she doing there? Will she miss me? She asks me to stay with her, but I reject her with a false excuse. And here I am, dancing with Eva.

I think she told me something, but I didn’t hear it clearly. I’ll ask her what’s that thing when I come back.

Before the ceremony, both Duke and I agree this is the best way. But now I begin to doubt myself, is it really the best way?

Whatever, the lie has been told. I’ll tell her everything and make up for her after the ceremony.

“It’s just a dance. It will end soon,” I say to myself.

I make a point of not touching Eva’s body with my hand in the air, but Eva relentlessly moves closer to me. This makes me annoyed, but I can’t do anything in front of so many people.

God, this is a long dance.

    Nyx’s POVFinally I’m back. The partying of the night exhausts me.I stand outside the door and look at the window of my bedroom. The lights are off. She must have fallen asleep.I’ll level with her tomorrow morning.I look down at the small jewelry case in my hands. I'll put it beside her pillow so that she can see it when she wakes up tomorrow morning. I can't wait to see her excited smile.I open the door and walk. I slow down so I don’t make any noise. And there’s no need to open the lights. I have excellent night vision. I walk upstairs and slowly open the door of the bedroom.And my eyes meet Amelia’s in the darkness. She sits on the sofa, waiting for me motionless, like a sculpture.I’ve told her not to wait for me. Shouldn’t she fall asleep now?I walk over and put the box in her hands.“Why don’t you have the lights on? I got you a …”Before I’m finished, Amelia waves her hand, and the gift falls.It falls on the carpet and doesn’t make a large sound, but it stings my ear and

    Amelia’s POVI shut the door close with a bang and lean myself against the door. After crying for a long time, I need air now. Nyx doesn’t follow me. Finally, I have a chance to breath. I squat down and take deep breaths, trying not to think about Nyx, because just thinking about him makes me cry. He’s a real jerk!I need to do something to get diverted. My feet still hurt. And there’s throbbing pain in my head. My eyes are swollen and sore from crying. I’m now a whole mess.I wash up my face, shuffle to the bed, and collapse into it. Already exhausted, I close my eyes, trying to get some sleep.But sleep evades me. It’s the first time that I sleep in another room ever since I was brought to this pack. And I'm used to sleeping with Nyx by my side. Now, alone in this large bed, I toss and turn and just can't sleep.I don’t know how long has passed. I get up, stand in front of the window, pull open the curtain, and open the window. The night breeze brushes against my face, making me fee

    Nyx’s POVThis is going to be the worst day I’ve ever had in my life. And the lack of sleep last night is only a minimal reason. The fight with my mate is killing me.When Amelie left the bedroom and left me alone last night, it felt that she also ripped away part of my heart and took it away. She was in the bedroom next door, and I wanted badly to see how she was doing. But I knew she didn’t want to see me at all. The mixed feeling of frustration and remorse that I seldom felt in the past overwhelmed me.I picked up the jewelry case from the ground and opened it. Inside was a pair of diamond earrings. I walked to the window with the small case in my hand, looked outside the window, and murmured, “Moon Goddess, what should I do?”Four o’clock in the morning, I forced myself to sleep because tomorrow would be busy. But sleep evaded me. Just thinking about how sad she was wrenched at my heart.In the morning, the first thing she wanted to tell me when she met me was that she wanted to l

    Amelia’s POVActually, there is more I want to say. I have a question. Nyx said that Eva is just a temporary Luna. Now he finds his mate. Shouldn’t the new mate become the Luna?Never mind. I think I know the answer. I’m a human being. How can a human being become the Luna?Nyx moves his lips and tries to say more, but he’s interrupted by the phone ring. He checks his phone. I also see the screen. It’s from the Gamma. Nyx hangs it up and puts it on the table. And it rings immediately when Nyx is about to say something.“Answer it. Your pack needs you.” I pick up his phone from the table, put him through, and hand it over.The call is already in progress. So Nyx can only answer it.I stand up and walk upstairs. I don’t stop when I pass the bedroom that we once shared. Instead, I walk directly to the room next door.He’s the alpha, and he serves his pack. That’s very normal.And I’m going back to the human world. That’s where I belong to.With everything figured out, I have a good sleep

    Nyx’s POVWhat Amelia says surprises me.I look her in the eye to confirm if she means it.I can tell from her eyes that she’s worried about the girls who once spoke ill of her.My little human being mate is so sweet and kind-hearted. It softens my heart.“Nyx!” she pulls my hand to urge me. I give her a reassuring smile and turn to face the crowd.“Dear pack members, my mate just expressed concern for those who offended her. She asked me to stop the punishment. As your alpha, I never go back on my words. However, today, I’ll make an exception. Out of respect for her wishes and her generous heart, I hereby declare that the punishment is lifted. I hope all of you will recognize and appreciate the depth of her kindness.”Silence falls. The next second, cheers and applause ring out. The girl who hasn’t passed out looks up at us with gratitude. Then they’re all taken away for medical treatment.I turn my head and look at Amelia. She seems a little uncomfortable because of the sudden atte

Now I look at him, my heart begins to race as I see him in the outfit that I choose for him.Nyx cuts off a piece of cake, puts it in front of me, and feeds me with a spoon. Then he looks at me nervously.The sweetness of the cream mixed with the flavor of strawberries activates my taste buds. It doesn’t look good. But it tastes so nice that I close my eyes to savor it.“It’s so good!” I say with great satisfaction.Nyx’s nervousness shifts into a bright smile.I take a spoon and eat it. Wait, something hard hits my teeth. Why is there something hard inside the cake?I spill it out with a tissue to see what it is. I pick it in my hand and see it closely. It’s a gold ring with a diamond on it!I look at Nyx with great surprise. He takes it from my hand and slides it onto my finger.“Isn’t th

    Amelia’s POVEver since I saw her dance with Nyx on that night, I haven’t had any opportunity to see her alone. It’s the first time.I don’t know what she thinks of me. And I don’t care if she’s mateless or what. There’s no need to factor in the third person in my relationship with Nyx. It’s between Nyx and I.Her mere presence once brought me so much pain. And it’s so embarrassing to see her alone. I can’t say I like her, as that challenging smile when she danced with Nyx really stings my eyes. But I’ll be polite.“Hi, Eva.” I force a smile at her.She raises her eyebrow and then reveals a fake smile, “I thought you were not going to say hi.”OK, she hates me. That’s for sure.And I don’t like the way she smiles. She should look herself in the mirror when she smiles, cuz I’m sure she wouldn’t do it if she knew how fake it looked. “Why not? You’re a good Luna.” I ask her with a bright smile, putting on that kind of expression that I’m completely fine and I don’t understand what she’s

Just so you know, I’ll make video calls with you at night. And you’d better answer them immediately” she says with a threatening tone.I smile. “Definitely!” Then I think of something

I want to check his injury and I still don’t get the chance. But I bet that wound is quite severe. I can tell from his pale face.I get dressed, leave the pack house, and walk a long way to the appointed place, a coffee shop. It’s in somewhere remote in the pack and it’s a nice place for some private talks.I enter the shop, order two cups of coffee, and begin to wait.As I’m waiting, I look around the coffee shop. The wall next to me is something like a mirror, reflecting my face and my determined look.Soon, the guy I wait shows up and sits in front of me.“Hi, Duke,” I push a cup of coffee in front of him.I can see that he’s a little nervous because I asked him out without telling him the reason.“Remember that promise?” I ask.Duke nods calmly.

I’m already clenching my fist for fear that I might lose control and kill her. Yes, this can totally happen.“Eva, there’s one thing that you need to explain. Why did the emergency happen exactly after you poisoned me?” I cross my arms and examine her expression closely while I speak, trying to tell whether she’s going to lie or not.“What do you mean?” Eva looks at me in disbelief.I sneer, “Should I make it clearer? Amelia, the rogues attack the pack at the time that fits them the best and ambush me at the right place. What role did you play in this?”She looks at me with her eyes wide, as if she can’t believe my eyes. So she’s playing the victim now. If it wasn’t for her, things wouldn’t have come to this.“Nyx, do you mean it? I’ve been the Luna of the pack for such a long time. Now you’re suspecting me! Do you really th

This idiot!Well, he has a good reason to doubt me, because it’s a godsent chance to leave here, with Nyx out of trace and the pack in a mess. But I’ll prove to him that I’ll stay and help.“I’m going to the hospital,” I say to Duke firmly.Duke looks at my expression closely before he nods. Then he stops a warrior and orders him to take me to the hospital.The warrior nods.As I enter the hospital, I’m shocked by what I see.The corridor is crowded with injured warriors. And the physicians are moving in and out of wards. It looks quite similar to the hospitals in the human world.Growing up alone, I have to learn a lot of medical knowledge, because I have no one to turn to when I’m ill. I’ve also learned something about first aid. And these days I’ve been studying the herbs. I believe I can be helpful.A woman in white comes over and notices me. Before I say anything,

She lies on the ground and looks at me bitterly.I stumble to the window, open it, and tear the window gauze. I climb on the windowsill. I’ve promised Amelia that I won’t be alone with Eva. I need to get out of here! Damn, it’s the eighth floor. If I’m not posioned, this would be easy for me. But now my head is spinning and my eyelids are heavy, I’m not sure.“Nyx, don’t!” Eva’s voice is getting louder from behind. She’s coming over! No time to hesitate, I swing my legs and take a leap out of the window. I’d rather get injured than stay in the same room with her.Luckily, I steady myself on a narrow ledge outside, gripping the outer wall of the hotel with finger.“Nyx!” Eva looks outside from the window.It’s windy, but the wind doesn’t make me more lucid. And I can feel the strength losing out on me. Shit, I need to get down there fas

Now I’m learning the effect of bloodroot. And the next second, I’m thinking about what Nyx might be doing now, whether he will miss me, and how he and Eva will get along.

Every time the message notification comes out, I will grab my phone and see if it’s from Nyx.
