The atmosphere in the room was so dark that I found an excuse to go out to avoid Elias, but I didn't know he was still following me to the kitchen. I was drinking water to relieve the heat in my heart when Elias came over.Seeing him almost choked on water, fortunately, I could hold it back.I squinted at him. "You startle me. Can you make some noise?"Elias was confused; the first time I saw this expression of his, I found it very interesting and couldn't help but tease a sentence. "Are you shy?""No, don't talk nonsense." Elias frowned, pushed me aside, opened the cabinet, took a bottle of mineral water, and drank it.My mood is a little better; I smile softly. Just as he was about to go to the bedroom, he heard Elias' voice echoing back. "Do you want to have dinner?""But the maid has gone home; I'm fatigued today; I don't want to cook," I said; the truth is that what I don't want is to eat with Elias; I'm sure it will be a bizarre and awkward atmosphere.I thought that when I said
Since that day Elias did not return home, I also returned to my old life. Just like when the first day came, I would wake up in the morning to feed Pain; then I would play with Sweet until evening and then go to sleep again.I folded a piece of meat and placed it in the glass tank, but Pain remained motionless. It seems unwell these days, usually seeing the food has opened its mouth wide, but today it was just lazily lying in the glass tank and not moving.I stood watching for a while, feeling unwell. I don't want to contact Elias, but I'm afraid Pain will die, wondering for a while. I still call him; life is still the most important.The heavy bell rang, but it was cold; after a long time, no one answered the phone. I don't know why, but I have had a bad feeling since morning. I have always felt uncomfortable.After a while, no one answered, and the phone automatically disconnected.I was still unsure, so I stood there for a while; more than ten minutes later, Elias called back. I ne
But Asher still kept her cold face, even with a bit of sarcasm. "I don't know, since when did you become fond of snakes? Were you not afraid of it before? Did you change your fear of Elias? Do you love him that much?" Stop for a moment, and Asher is more ruthless; he really wants to kill Pain. "Four years of love is not equal to a few months…""What did you just say?" A cold voice at the door made the hairs on the back of my neck prickle.Both Asher and I stared blankly at the man with the aura of death outside. His cold air seemed to freeze my movements, my dry lips barely opening and closing.I didn't expect Elias to return home at this time, at the most chaotic time.'How am I supposed to explain it to him now? Did Elias hear what Asher just said?' I trembled like an unfaithful wife caught by her husband in battle.Asher's condition was worse than mine, his face as white as a corpse. His hand was shaking so violently that he couldn't hold Pain. After escaping death, Pain rushed tow
Elias's POV:I bet I've gone crazy to pay attention to Stella time and time again. In the past few days, there was not a single moment when I forgot her silhouette. I feel very uncomfortable not being able to see her and today, when she called me, no one knew how I felt inside.The moment I heard her sweet voice, I almost had a crazy thought. I want to do anything to keep her by my side, regardless of her background or everything. However, reality is always more bloody than fantasy. I put everything aside, returned home, and unexpectedly caught sight of her flirting with another man.I ran my hand through my short hair, shaking with anger. I put all my strength into punching the car window, and the sound of shattering repeated immediately reverberated with shrillness. I narrowed my eyes, this time different from the others. Usually, when I'm angry, it's okay to let it out, but right now, I still feel incredibly uncomfortable, like thousands of ants crawling inside, biting every piece
Serena's POV:I ran all day and night; I was always tense and did not dare to breathe even a little. I always looked back; even though no one chased me, I still couldn't relax. I'm sure by this time Elias received the news that I ran away; he was sending someone to track me down at all costs. Because I still have value to use, letting a prey slip out my eyes, with Elias' personality, won't forgive me.Lost in thought, I accidentally tripped over a branch and fell forward. To protect Sweet, I curled up and held it in my lap, letting my body hit the stump and then the rock. I was in so much pain that I cried out; my whole body went numb momentarily. When I looked down, my calf had been pierced by a sharp branch; blood was flowing continuously.Poor Sweet had no idea what was happening, so he kept walking around me, rubbing his fat body against my face. I tried to control the pain, reaching out to stroke its head. Apparently, a few days ago, it was still living happily, but now it follow
After spending a night in the forest, at dawn, I went with Sweet to continue on the road. Leaving the woods, we saw a small city. If I'm on the right track, I will pass this city and reach the center of Pack Night Star. As I learned before, Night Star is a minimal Pack; to be precise, it is a leftover part of a Star Pack, a large Pack. But because their way of life was a little different, a man named Max stood up to lead the people to separate. After years of internal warfare, Night Star is finally recognized as a separate Pack. Although often under oppression from Pack Star, the people's life is perfect, and there has never been a lack of laughter.And when I started to set foot in the city, I suddenly realized that everything is not exaggerated. The atmosphere of Night Star is very fresh. The area is not too big, so they often use bicycles or walk so there is no pollution.I greedily breathed in as if trying to swallow all the air in my stomach. My relaxed spirit was suddenly interr
I had a rough breakup with my four-legged friend. Sweet is the most brilliant cat I've ever seen; it senses that I'm about to leave it, so it clings to me and doesn't let go. Even when I waved goodbye, it scratched Lily's body to run after me. I wanted to cry then, but I knew it was best to stay here. Ultimately, Lily and I locked it in an iron cage to prevent Sweet from messing up, and I had to hide while it was eating.My eyes were wet, and I reached out to wipe the tears that remained in my eyes. The next journey will be harrowing; predicting what will happen tomorrow is difficult. But when I think about living a free life, I get excited and looking forward to it.Elias' army also investigated the nearby cities; I couldn't enter any towns; I had to stay in the forest instead. If I want to eliminate Elias' eyes and ears, I have only one way to go to Black Moon. Already a Pack near the sea, completely independent from other Packs. Not only me, no one can understand the truth of it. A
Seeing my ignorant expression, my wolf cried out in great displeasure. 'Useless, how long are you going to stand there dumbfounded? Are you going to wait for that leopard to turn you into a red wolf?"Red wolf? Is it using my blood to dye my hair? This thought made me tremble.'I don't want to!' I said, panicking.She growled a few times, extremely disgruntled. 'Please concentrate a little; that leopard has enough power to chew our bones.'Hearing her speak, I raised my eyes to see the leopard swooping in at a fantastic speed. My four legs stiffened; I didn't know which direction to move to avoid its claws; its attack completely blinded me.'Dodge to the left! Jump onto a nearby tree branch and use that momentum to attack the leopard. It won't return in time, often stabbing its stomach with our claws.'I hurriedly followed my wolf's instructions, and soon, I knew my decision was right as I followed my four-legged friend's tactician. I dodged a dangerous attack from the leopard and had
