I tilted my head to look at Elias, who also turned to look at me. Then he chuckled softly, turning to talk to Lorne. "You haven't apologized to my wife; this matter cannot be ignored."Lorne's face darkened, and his hands on the table were curled tightly, showing his anger. His guard was even more hot-tempered. As soon as Elias finished speaking, he wanted to rush forward, but Lorne stopped him in time.My back stiffened and sweat-drenched my palms. Suddenly, a hand was covering mine with a clear message telling me to rest assured, but I couldn't calm down in this dangerous situation.The atmosphere became increasingly tense; even a strand of hair falling to the ground could make a noise. I nervously swallowed my saliva. I thought there would be a terrible battle, but unexpectedly, I heard Lorne's voice. "I'm sorry; it was my mistake this time."I froze, turning to look at Elias as if to correct the truth. Elias smirked, patting my head as if everything had been planned for him. "I'm
Elias seemed to understand what I was thinking. Even though he didn't look at me, he still spoke to reassure me. "Don't think about those things anymore; we are too tiny to want to change something. Essentially, Lorne and I are the same. For one purpose, we can sacrifice everything else that stands in the way to achieve the ultimate goal. Everything in life is arranged; in this world, the rule of big fish eating small fish is also a common occurrence. Don't worry about it anymore."I sighed; what Elias said was accurate, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for them. I was also in that situation when I was arrested; I remember how scared and worried I was. And when I was on stage having those men look up and down, then being picked apart like a commodity, how desperate I was."Don't overthink." Elias reached over and patted my head.I looked at him and, half a day later, reluctantly nodded.Just like that, we didn't say anything more after that. Everyone was lost in their thoughts. I lo
I discovered that since returning, I have become sluggish; I often absent-mindedly fall asleep no matter where I am. The most embarrassing thing was when I was sitting on Elias's lap in the study room. While he was busy working, I fell asleep. He still had to carry me to my room when it was over.I woke up today, and Elias left the house early. Recently, military training has been very stressful; he often leaves very early and comes back late at night, and by that time, I am already sound asleep. It's been over a week, I haven't seen him, I miss him so much.I sighed, still engrossed in my thoughts, when suddenly, in front of the yard, appeared a white sports car. I was still curious about who it was when a girl got out of the vehicle. She wore an athletic tracksuit, and her hair was tied up, perfectly matching the car behind her.Due to being shaded by the sun, I couldn't see her face clearly, but when she got closer, I realized it was Aliyah. I don't hate her, but I wouldn't say I l
Aliyah led me to an area similar to a gymnasium, where several groups were also divided up to practice. They don't seem to care about their surroundings, just focus on their world. Seeing them practice enthusiastically, I also feel excited. In the distance, I see some kids only about ten years old also participating in training. Their movements are graceful and agile, like a squirrel.I looked at them blankly. It wasn't until Aliyah grabbed my collar and pulled me away that I was startled.Aliyah pointed me to a board with clearly written rules of competition. I frowned, not understanding what Aliyah meant, but when I turned my head and saw Aliyah raising her eyebrows, I suddenly felt scared."Could you want me to participate in this contest?" I'm scared.Aliyah nodded, her eyes unwavering. "It's considered a maturity contest for werewolves in Blood Moon; if you pass this contest, you're already a warrior. However, your journey seems much farther than other people practicing out there
I carefully set the alarm and then went to bed.The following day, the loud ringing of the bell startled me, and I was just about to get up when I discovered an arm was resting on my waist. The sound of the bell also alarmed Elias, and he frowned; his eyes did not open, but he still clutched my waist like a big childish boy.Elias's husky, lazy voice resounded. "What are you doing with your alarm set so early? Why don't you get some more sleep?"Elias's presence surprised me. I haven't seen his face for many days, let alone cuddled and slept all night. This warm feeling makes me not want to get out of bed, and I want to crawl into his arms. But remembering Aliyah's fiery eyes, I immediately pushed that thought out of my head, and she would tear me to pieces if I did."Isn't it because of you? You have arranged for Aliyah to train me; why not inform me?" I puffed my cheeks; I've wanted to ask this question for a long time but never had the chance.Elias lazily opened one eye at me; his
When the car stopped, I felt a strange air rush from the house. A hunch told me something terrible was coming, and a dark figure appeared before me. I panicked a bit when I looked into Elias's deep eyes, like a criminal running away who was caught by the police.I was frantic; the movement to open the door was also unnatural.While I was thinking about explaining to Elias why I was injured, Aliyah's monotone voice rang out calmly. "I called Alpha to talk about everything, and he seemed very angry."I turned to look at her in surprise, unable to speak. "When? I don't see you using the phone.""Idiot, we can communicate through our minds. If you don't know such a basic thing, how do you make our Luna?" Aliyah sighed in disdain, and then she unlocked the car, went out, and greeted Elias.I saw his face darken when looking at the position I was sitting in. Perhaps due to insecurity, I was confused and quickly lowered my face to hide my emotions. Not long after that, Aliayh returned to the
While drying my hair, I suddenly heard a crashing sound in the living room, like a glass was dropped. I felt worried, so I got up and saw what was happening. I was startled by the scene before my eyes. For some reason, the fruit plate on the table was now shattered on the floor. I couldn't imagine someone as arrogant as Helen kneeling on the ground. Her eyes widened, filled with anger and disobedience, but she did not dare to disobey her father's orders. However, her resistance made me shiver a bit. I didn't think a young girl would have eyes like that. It was full of murderous intent and seemed to have a fire that wanted to burn the other person. I was so focused on Helen that I didn't notice Elias looking at me. He had discovered me since I appeared, and instead of exposing me, he just spoke softly. "Does that noise bother you?" As soon as he asked, Gamma and Helen's eyes turned towards me. I suddenly stepped back; somehow, I felt like I had just committed a crime and had just bee
Elias POV:Suddenly, the cup of coffee in my hand fell, the glass shattered on impact, and the coffee droplets splashed and clung to my white shirt. An uneasy premonition arose strongly in my heart, and my chest tightened.Marcus was still reporting the recent war, but I heard nothing. My ears kept ringing as if there was a hand covering them."Alpha…" Marcus seemed surprised at my blank face. He quickly brought a tissue to wipe the stains on my hands.When Marcus touched me, I was startled to wake up a bit."Alpha, your condition today is not very good," Marcus said worriedly.I pondered, took the tissue from his hand, quickly wiped the stain on my shirt, and threw it in the trash. For some reason, I've been in a bad mood since the morning. I think it's related to what Marcus reported earlier. At the same time, I also thought about Serena; I suddenly felt uneasy without understanding the reason.I have marked her; I will feel her pain and also know when she is in danger. I know she's
