2024-09-02 16:33:08Amelia’s POV
I wake up from the backseat. Still in a daze, I’m slow in thinking and I’m trying hard to figure out where I am. The car door has opened. A tall and strong figure stands in front of me and blocks the light outside. It’s Nyx, if that’s his real name. He leans over, holds me in his arms, and stands up straight. A tall and magnificent building comes into sight. Many terrible thoughts flash through my mind. Those rumors and legends about rich men with all kinds of quirks that I heard on the grapevine flood me and give me goosebumps. I slowly turn my head to Nyx, trying to get a hint of my situation from his expression. Meeting my eyes, his lips gradually curl up into a smile. The way he looks at me and smiles sends shivers down my spine. The handsome face and lethal smile that pulled my heartstrings at the party now only seem scary and cruel. Why did he bring me here? What does he want from me? At this moment, I can’t help but feel a wave of self-pity. Just when I thought things were finally looking up, that I might actually have a chance at a normal life, I find myself standing in front of this mansion, not knowing what the future holds for me. If this is some cruel joke life is playing on me, it’s one I’m not sure I can bear. He holds me tightly in his arms and walks inside the mansion. Close to his broad chest, I can hear his heartbeats and feel his breath. He carries me and walks with perfect ease. I would think of him as a strong bodyguard if he wasn’t greeted by everyone on the way. The door opens. God, I’ve never wished so strongly that I’m stepping into my crowded, shabby, bug-infested rented room in the slum, not this spacious and luxurious mansion. He puts me down on the sofa and sits by my side. Jesus, this sofa is so soft and smooth. I can’t help feeling it with my hand. What’s its upholstery made from? I glance around the living room of the mansion. And I’m completely dazzled. The exquisite rug, the dazzling crystal ornament, the ceiling adorned with a grand chandelier… everything inside is so amazing. This is beyond my imagination. Nyx, who are you? My probing eyes finally fall on this mysterious man, who brings me to a place where I’ll never get access by myself. He stares at me with a smile. For the whole next minute, he does nothing but stare at me and smile brightly. It’s so damn weird. I would definitely jump to my feet and run away from him if he wasn’t so handsome. Finally, he moves his lips, which makes me nervous. I know what he’s going to say will determine my fate. He utters, “Hello, mate.” My eyes widen. He says so quickly that I almost doubt my ears. What does mate mean? He senses my tension and confusion, but he doesn’t clear my confusion immediately. “Amelia, have you ever heard about werewolves?” I shake my head. Of course not. Werewolves sound like the types of characters in legends or bedtime stories. And during my childhood, I don’t have such a thing as bedtime stories, all I have is bedtime tears. “It’s OK. Human beings don’t know much about us. I understand.” His words make my jaw drop. Human beings? Us? Aren’t they human beings? What is he talking about? He clears his throat and takes on a serious tone. “I know what I’m going to tell you may be too shocking for you to sound real, but it’s true.” I swallow hard, with my heart in my throat. “I’m a werewolf, technically, I’m the alpha, the leader of the Sapphire Pack…” I laugh. Of course, it can’t be real. Is it a prank or is it a show? Nyx gestures to me to let him finish. He continues. “I’m not going to tell you everything about werewolves now, because it will be time-consuming. And you’ll get to learn more about it as you live with me…” Another earth-quaking piece of news for me! Living with him? “Yes, you’re going to live with me, because you’re my mate.” He nods affirmatively as he speaks. I frown deeply. And what is mate? “You talked about mate. What does it mean exactly?” I finally ask the question. “Being my mate is basically like having a relationship and getting married in human society. You’re my mate, so you’ll live with me, just like a married couple.” I’m so shocked that my eyes almost pop out. What is he talking about? I’m only nineteen and I’ve never thought about marriage. Nyx keeps talking. He looks around the mansion and adds, “Do you like this place? We’ll start a family and you’re going to live here with me.” Does he own this mansion? He must be kidding! And living here with him? No, this isn’t real!Related chapters

My smile grows larger as I think of how she complimented my “perfume”.When I tell her the pack thing, she seems completely shocked and unable to accept it, but she has to accept it. Hopefully, she can accept it without going through much pain. I stand up from the sofa, take off her high heels, and hold her in my arms again.

Amelia’s POVSo I’m proposed by a wolf, no, a werewolf. I don’t know. He looks nothing different from human beings, but he says he’s a werewolf. And he’s a damn rich one who owns a mansion.Is it reality or am I just dreaming?I know from a very young age that there isn’t such a thing as a free lunch, let alone a free mansion. Life has always been a shit for me. That’s why my first reaction was to wonder whether it was a fraud when Nyx told me that I was going to live here in this fabulous mansion. I don’t think life will suddenly treat me well. I’ll thank God if only life is fair to me.Nyx asks me about my honest thoughts, of course I can’t tell him my honest thoughts. The earnestness and the possessiveness in his eyes make me a little scared. Somehow I know rejection is out of the question.And he seems so enthusiastic about the mate thing. It’s the first day we met, and he talked endlessly about starting a family and even getting pups. I guess he means children, and that really fr

Amelia’s POVTwo years ago, I was in huge financial trouble. I worked for a bastard and he didn’t pay me. Then I was ill and in bad need of surgery. But I didn’t have money for it. I couldn’t even cover for my meals. That’s the darkest time of my life.I got nothing to lose, so I contacted a loan shark, old George.The surgery was successful. I tried my best to return the money and fill the high interests. I thought as long as I paid the debt in time, I wouldn’t get into trouble. But I was too naïve. They were a bunch of greedy thugs. They knew that I was a parentless girl, so they kept asking for more. I couldn’t take it anymore, so I sought revenge, and I succeeded. That was another story. I don’t know exactly what happened to them, but I know that I won’t be bothered anymore.But now…Damn!Old George’s laughter stings my ears. I’m in the middle of nowhere. They get a car, and they are a bunch of men. While I’m alone and I have nothing. Even my phone is dead. I’m screwed!“It’s bee

Amelia’s POVThe tires scream against the asphalt again, as this car veers off course. Finally, it skids to a halt against the guardrail. The driver is hurt. Old George has passed out from the huge impact.I open my eyes. I’m not hurt, but I’m still trembling. The Mercedes also stops. Its driver opens the door and leaps out in a suit and tie. Now I see his face clearly, it’s Nyx!He comes over and throws a hard punch at the window. Immediately, there’s a big hole in the shattered glass, through which my eyes meet his eyes. The next second, he yanks the door open.“Who the fuck are you?” Ralph cruses and throws a punch at Nyx. I look at them worried, my heart in the throat.Nyx holds his arm in the air and gives him a left hook. The sound of Nyx's backhand striking Ralph's face is so loud that Ralph lets out a painful howl before collapsing against the back of the seat. I’ve never seen a fight like this so close, so I freeze on the spot.Nyx grabs Ralph’s hand and throws him to the gro

Nyx’s POVI rush back to the meeting room and sit back at my place.“Guys, I’m sorry.”Yes, I was still at the meeting when I learned that Amelia left the pack alone. I stopped the meeting, jumped into my car, and ignored the speed limit. I try my best to calm down and focus on the pack affairs.This meeting is about security. My pack is the most powerful and rich pack in the country, but rogues are going rampant around the border. To make things worse, there’s a gray zone at the boundary between the pack and human area. It’s a run-down area with many shady alleys and corners, where many rogues choose to hide. To make things worse, it has become a haven for human criminals, gangs, and the homeless. It has posed a great threat to the security of the pack and it’s time to do something.“Steward, make a report about border security and an exact plan about what to do next,” I order the Gamma Steward.Steward nods at me with respect.“Any other question?” I glance around them. I know ther

Amelia’s POVThe next morning.I wake up in the king-size bed in a new silk gown and stretch my body. Then I walk in front of the window and pull open the curtain, enjoying the sunshine in the morning.There’s breakfast warmed on the table. I open the lid, and my nose is graced by the smell of the hearty breakfast. I take the fork and begin to enjoy the best breakfast that I have ever had. If only I own this mansion!The breakfast is finished. Now it’s time to face the reality.I slump in the chair and sigh while rubbing my legs, which ache from running long miles.The memories of yesterday flood back, I was running like mad, chasing Bucks, running frantically for fear of being chased by Nyx…I shake my head, trying to blot out these memories. It’s a nightmare that I don’t want to relive.Nyx didn’t come here last night. I don’t know the reason. I thought he would come back. After all, he’s the one who insists I stay in the pack house. Forget about it. it’s the best if he can change h

Nyx’s POVAmelia looks up at me in surprise. Her eyelids are red and swollen. She must have cried yesterday. And this thought wrecks my heart.Last night, I had a drink with Duke. In a low mood, I got drunk and I didn't want to meet Amelia while smelling of wine. So I chose to stay in the room next to our bedroom. I miss her all night long. Now I see my little mate is having a bad time, too. I walk over with a bouquet. It’s made with flowers and diamonds. She’ll definitely like it. Her eyes light up when I raise the bouquet in front of her, but she doesn’t take it over. She’s still mad at me, but I won't give up.“Amelia, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t push you. I should've given you more time. I apologize for what I did and said yesterday. That’s just a spur of the moment.”“So what? You’re still gonna lock me in the bedroom.” She looks up at me with her watery eyes and purses her lips. It softens my heart and makes me want to kiss her.“Sorry, I won’t do that again,” I answer.She blinks

After washing up, I walk downstairs in my sleep gown.He’s not in the living room. Where is he?I turn my head and find him in the kitchen.I stand outside the door and look inside. He stands in front of the countertop, with his back to me. He’s in an undershirt and pants with an apron on. He turns on the fire and puts a cube of butter into the pan. He’s frying a steak. The muscles on his arms and his broad back seem more sexually attractive as he cooks. The apron string tied at the back sets off his slim waist. My eyes are fixed on him.Soon, the sizzling sound and the smell of food work up my appetite. I’m hungry

Amelia’s POVIt’s eight-thirty in the morning. Nyx has left for work. He came back at midnight yesterday and I don’t even know when he gets up this morning. He’s literally working his guts out. 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. But he keeps drumming his finger on the table

Nyx’s POVStartled by my words, Eva stops all her movement and looks at me, fear and tension evident in her eyes.I signal her to sit back. She does accordingly. 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
My Human Luna from Slum Chapter 28
Amelia’s POVI check the message. Still no reply.I don’t believe a word Eva says. But I can tell from Eva’s reaction that Nyx is fine.He must be very busy now. He’s out on a trip and an emergency happens. There must be a lot for him to handle.But I hate that I have to know it from a third person, especially a woman I hate.It sucks.Anyway, I’ll just come back home and wait.After taking a quick shower, I change into my sleeping gown, lie on the sofa in the living room, and pull a blanket over my body.I need to know it immediately when he comes back. I also need sleep. So I’ll just wait for him in the living room.Because of fatigue, I fall sound asleep very quickly.Somehow my forehead feels wet. Someone kisses me.Is it a dream?I slowly open my eyes. Nyx’s face is what I see first.Nyx is back! I’m not dreaming, am I?Seeing that I’m awake, he pulls me into his arms tightly and kisses me on my lips.I wrap my hands around his body.All the tension and worry for the whole night

Amelia’s POV“Amelia, you’re not escaping from the pack, right?” Duke asks with suspicion. What is he talking about? 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,

Nyx’s POVI give my arm a hard pinch so that the pain can sober me up. Before she touches me again, I summon all my force to kick her on her stomach. 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
My Human Luna from Slum Chapter 25
Amelia’s POVI don’t know exactly when Nyx leaves, because I’m sound asleep at that time. The moment I’m awake alone in the bed, I’m seized by a sense of loss. I begin to miss him.I get up, enter the study room, and try to kill time with books. But I just can’t focus on books! Nyx comes to my mind from time to time and always distracts me. 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. He’s out on a pack visit, so I refrain from contacting him. But I miss him so much and I’m expecting his messages. Every time the message notification comes out, I will grab my phone and see if it’s from Nyx. And I will be disappointed.It’s gonna be a long day.Finally, it’s night!More precisely, the sun has set and it has just turned dark. But I can’t wait to contact him! I can’t wait to listen to him talk about his day! I can’t wait to see his face!I know the schedule is v

Nyx’s POV“There isn’t a rule that says the alpha needs to stay in one room with Luna, right?” She asks. “No. Of course not. I won’t be alone with her, and I promise no physical contact.” I shake my head wildly, trying to reassure her. I hate to see her looking distressed, although the way she gets jealous is so cute.The Sapphire Pack has a long-standing relationship with The Blue Blood Pack, but the last visit between packs happened two years ago. And this time we have plenty to discuss and agree on. We have to stay there for one night.Amelia purses her lips and doesn’t say anything, with dissatisfaction written across her face.“Honey, trust me! I’ll get you a gift when I come back!” I carry her in my arms and make her sit on my lap, coaxing her and kissing her.Her eyes light up. “I believe in you. 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
My Human Luna from Slum Chapter 23
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
My Human Luna from Slum Chapter 22
Amelia’s POVIt’s the first time that I feel that love again after the worst birthday of my life. That kind of strong electricity is running through my veins again.I sit up straight from his arms. 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
