Livia's POV: Hate should not be a trap for me to lose my mind. I looked at the direction Lucius left and fell into silence, my mind repeated his words, and gradually felt some loss of mood. He was right, my thoughts just now were a little too impulsive, the other side is a wolf pack Alpha, and I have only been training for a while. I have no chance to take revenge, even if the enemy is standing right in front of me, my current strength will not be able to kill the other party. I thought of these and I squeezed my fingers loose, all over my body seems to have lost its strength, the opportunity is clearly in front of me, but I simply cannot grasp. I stood in place looking at the distant sky, the dim light was gradually becoming dimmer, just like the light in my heart. I knew I had to become stronger, as long as I really became strong enough to kill the other side to be able to take such a chance, but seeing such an opportunity slip away from my hands, I could not help but feel lo
Lucius' POV: Nightshade Pack's location by now should be at the edge of the forest, although there is some distance, but they are supposed to arrive here by noon and they are not yet here. My mind was still not at rest so I decided to go to Livia's quarters to quickly go through my instructions one last time before they passed by. On reaching her room, I found her blankly out the window and I couldn't figure out what she was staring at. “We'll be leaving soon for the battlefield. Make sure to remain indoors and under no circumstance should you cross the refinement of the villa.” I sounded this warning to her, but it sounded more like a plea than a warning. She didn't say anything but only nodded her head in response, she tried hard to avoid my gaze and lowered her head to avoid eye contact, and all I wanted to do was to assure her that I'll never let any harm come to her. But just at this moment, I started hearing noises from outside the walls of the villa. I quickly ran towa
Livia's POV: I couldn't believe my eyes, why would Lucius choose those women when he clearly knows that and his mate, couldn't he have just rejected them? I couldn't just stand by and watch these women take my mate from me, I needed to do something fast to stop him from laying with them. It seems there would be no need for a battle since the Nightshade pack already came to sign a peace treaty with the Crescent Pack, so going out to meet Lucius wouldn't be a bad idea… he said I couldn't leave the villa confinement, technically I wouldn't.. When he sees me, he may likely reject those women, I hope. I quickly rushed out of my room, through the stairs and in no time, I was already out on the pavement just at the entrance of the building. I stared deeply at Lucius, almost to the extent that I felt I could see his soul. He didn't seem to notice me at first and kept on chatting heartily with Alpha Roshan. Wait! Aren't I making a mistake? What if Alpha Roshan recognizes me from the
Lucius' POV: Having Livia drink with him? In that instant I was almost covered in rage, but in the next moment I pushed that rage back. I looked at Alpha Roshan's face pupils had some slight trembling, I know now he and I are not the time to tear each other's pretense. Thinking of this I glanced at Alexander, this time I saw him give me a reassuring look, my heart instantly understood, then I looked at Alpha Roshan's face and put on a smile. "Of course, Livia you drink well with Alpha Roshan, do not lose my face!" After saying that I walked straight towards the far guest room with those two beautiful women in my arms. The people at the party were partying and the sounds gathered like boiling water, but the sounds only bored me. I waited until I got to the bed in the guest room and sat down, my mind was filled with the figures of Livia and Alpha Roshan, whose movements made me feel overwhelmingly prickly. Although I had instructed Adrian before, and there were many Crescent Pa
Livia's POV: Lucius was held up by them? This sentence is like a lightning bolt in my heart sparks. My whole person suddenly became incomparably sober, alert to the extreme, the mind inside some thoughts are disappearing, now is not the time to be sad. Nightshade Pack people why drag out Lucius, what other purpose do they have? When I thought of this, a lot of doubts suddenly appeared in my mind, why would Nightshade Pack people suddenly appear unannounced to make a sudden friendship with the Crescent pack… thinking about it now, this was exactly the same way they got to destroy my pack. My heart suddenly felt a burst of fear, then directly finished the wine in front of me, so that I became just as drunk, looking to the servant not far away and my voice also became blurred. "Wine ...... pour me some more wine! I want to drink ......" With that servant coming towards me, I noticed out of the corner of my eye that Alpha Roshan glanced towards me, then continued to speak softly to
Lucius' POV: Where did Livia go? My eyes went towards the front little by little, but there was no Livia anywhere, Adrian and Alexander were having a drink with Alpha Roshan, and the seat where Livia was supposed to sit was empty. My heart suddenly became very heavy, like a boulder inside my heart, while a cold killing intent appeared in my eyes. If anything happens to Livia, I'll tear Alpha Roshan, the bastard, apart with my own hands even if I have to tear off my disguise! I hid my body once again in the shadows of the building and quickly explored my surroundings, my eyes barely missing every corner, and soon I was away from the feast. Where was Livia, where the hell had she been hidden? I felt as if I was burning with anxiety. I searched the parlor area, the kitchen, and the place where the Nightshade warriors are to stay, but found nothing. Just when I was about to lose my mind and start killing, I suddenly heard a familiar voice. "Where's Lucius...where's he gone!" It
Livia's POV: Those Nightshade Pack wolves didn't make a move. I was relieved to see that they didn't do anything, then I shook my body and shouted randomly with my mouth, pretending that I was in a drunken frenzy as I wandered around towards the surroundings. "How did Livia get so drunk, now what do we do?" "Let her be quiet and take her to rest, hurry up and catch up with her." At this time the voices of the two Crescent Pack warriors rang in my ears, followed by the sound of footsteps coming from behind as they tried to catch me left and right. They didn't know that I was pretending to be drunk, but I couldn't waste such an opportunity to be taken by them. I ripped their arms away hard and continued to wander towards the surroundings, then felt the traces around me with all my might, looking for where Lucius was. "She won't let us grab it, why don't we use some force?" "You're crazy, Livia is Alpha Lucius' lord's maid, we have to do our best to keep her safe, what if we hur
Lucius' POV: "Lucius, something's wrong! Alpha Roshan has got his wolves ready to attack our Crescent Pack!" When Livia's voice reached my ears, I could hardly believe what I was hearing, and all the doubts I had about her disappeared. He must have expected that I would gather all my elites here so that he could take this opportunity to attack my Crescent Pack! If I hadn't learned such information, I'm afraid the Crescent Pack would have been attacked by them without even knowing it, and when their attack was complete, they would have revealed their claws to us next! Alpha Roshan's smiling face appeared in my mind, and the anger inside my heart became more intense. This guy didn't just approach my Livia to get her to drink with him, he actually made such an intention, I really want to tear him apart right now. I glanced towards Livia, this time she was a huge credit. I looked at her face with some redness. It seems that some of the wine did not make her completely drunk, but a
Livia's POV:My lips gape, horror filled my eyes as I was at lost in what to do. I was still in shock and fear as I felt my entire body trembling but I didn't pull my hands out as I knew doing that would be worse.Lucius was shocked but he quickly pulled me to his arm, his hand settled on his back while the other wrapped the entire back of my head, “Don't panic, it will be alright,” he coaxed me and from behind. “I am alright,” he said as if to assure me.Lucius didn't forget the woman behind him and utilized his powers to hit on the woman's face, rendering kalliope to an unconscious state.I was stuttering, my tears kept falling asleep I realized my terrible mistake, “L-Lucius I… I didn't want to do this. I saw you as kalliope, the magic… s-she…”“Shush,” Lucius stroked the back of my head slowly. “I will be fine. It isn't a large injury for me. Calm down Livia, you have to get a hold of yourself.”I breathed in and out. I could feel my mind in scatters as I tried to clear my eyes wh
Livia's POV:Lucius respected my decision to fight as it could easily do. Others might be able to close their eyes and let their hatred of being betrayed wash over the sadness but to me it was hard.To me, madam kalliope was the figure of a mother after my mom, the betrayal I felt was much more agonizing as I had trusted the woman to be my own family.When I joined the fight, I didn't manage to exchange a lot of words with Lucius. However, we fought hand in hand while assisting one another perfectly as if our instincts knew what we should do to help one another reach a higher level of our powers.In between the fights, I saw how one attack of kalliope can cause the entire ground to break, “how could she be this strong?”Lucius who had come next to me narrowed his eyes, “she had sold her soul to dark magic. The stronger she becomes, it would also mean in the next growing seconds, her soul is slowly leaving her body.”I looked at madam kalliope again. I was unable to comment on anything
Livia's POV:“Madam kalliope,” I called her, “Don’t do this. Please.”Madam kalliope’s eyes slowly went to lock gaze with with mine.“There is still a point you can turn back to, madam kalliope, we all have guilts.” I said to the woman with plea in my words. “I have them as well, I had killed people too. Please, I don't want to kill you.”Madam kalliope closed her eyes, “No, if you want this to end, you should kill me Livia. Maybe with this, the circle of hatred would stop.”Lucius stepped before me. He looked at me meeting my eyes, “I will take care of her. You can stand by there.”My hand reached out as Lucius had left without waiting for me to answer and I clenched my hand, settling it before me. Madam kalliope started the fight by aiming to attack the sides of Lucius with the best of her ability.Lucius was swift to avoid every last one of her attacks, “why now?” Lucius questioned the woman, “you could've executed whatever plan you have before this but why now?”Madam kalliope tr
Livia's POV:I couldn't believe who I had seen. It was madam kalliope, my eyes didn't lie to me. At first, I doubted what I saw. I wondered if it was another disguise the woman wore after my appearance peeled off only to discover that it was the truth. No matter how much I doubted my eyes, the truth was in front of my eyes as clear as the blood moon above us.“Why?” Was the only word I could ask while staring at madam kalliope who Lucius held by her neck against the pillar.Madam kalliope didn't bat an eyelid on my expression as if she had expected it. “Hm.” She answered and I shook my head.“I-I don't understand…” I walked forward. Like a child who had just had her wish shattered before her eyes, I was stricken with sadness and shock. “What do you mean, madam kalliope?”Madam kalliope closed her eyes once, opening to show the same bleak expression, “He killed my son, the only family I had left on earth. Oh, I didn't tell you abouty child?”Lucius also looked surprised at kalliope's r
Livia's POV:My eyes widened, I had realized that I wasn't the only one who had been tricked. When did this happen?“You might want to quickly find him or he will die soon,” chuckled the man and his voice boomed aloud.“Shut up!” My last anger thread snapped and the moment I screamed as if the walls would rupture from the echoes of my voice.I steadied my stance as I looked at him, I could slowly feel my humanity leaving me as I launched the final attack towards him. With my claws going into his abdomen, I tore off his skin as I felt my hand holding unto his warm wormly like intestines before finally rooting them out.He didn't seem to care much about his death, it was almost as if he knew this would happen. The powers he used in manipulating his image to look like that of Lucius, I knew immediately that it was blood magic and once one is to go I to such, they won't more that 24 hours after that. But all for what course?I didn't spend any more time to go down and I ran down the stair
Lucius' POV:On the first floor, I walked with Livia together, seeing the red moon, Livia who had no jewelry on her neck stared at the moon with a complex look. “I'm worried,” she said, “everything had turned red. Whatever I see, everything is red.”“I told you there is nothing to be worried about,” I smiled while looking at her, my eyes filled with warmth and gentleness. I reached out my hand to touch the side of her cheeks. “I am here now and if anything happens, you can activate the powers of the moon goddess in you, can you activate it now?”Livia looked at me slowly and shook her head, “I am afraid I won't be able to do that now.”My eyes slowly traveled to her and I nodded, “why so?” Livia opened her pursed lips, “I–”“I am joking my love, I know that you are currently not stable,” I answered instead of her. “I don't hear any sound of fight going on anywhere. We should find out the method of how the invaders came into our Villa.”“That means the answer might be there,” suggeste
Livia's POV:A moment passed in silence with both of us in stalemate. I stared back at Lucius with a cautious look who looked at me with an emotion filled gaze before slowly by time, his emotions faded from his eyes.“I am Lucius. Don't you see how I look?” He spread his arms, a wide grin appeared on his lips. It was a grin filled with cruelty.I shook my head, “No, you are not him. Who are you?” I asked again when Lucius took a step forward, I quickly changed into my wolf's form and aimed for the man's wrist and legs, pinning him to the wall and he fell to the ground.‘Lucius’ who was thrown on the ground grunt in pain, his expression scrunched. He lifted his chin, looking at me, “what are you doing, Livia? Are we fighting now?” “Lucius only calls me Lilly,” I said with a look of suspicion.“I am sorry I forgot it, Lilly…” said the man but his words didn't complete as I continued.“And that was a lie because Lucius only calls me Livia or sweetheart. He always walk on my pace, he wil
Lucius' POV:“Tch!” He began to lose his cool seeing how I was getting closer to him and he ran back, he realized there was only a dead end. When he looked at me, he caught the smile, the same smile of a predator who had finally driven its targets to the corner as they wanted.“You think you can kill me with that method? It will take you more time!” The beast used the remaining dead bodies on the ground to throw at me to earn him some time.“Not if I do this!” I used my hands to squeeze the beads that dangled on my neck and my speed accelerated and with the speed of light, I was already in front of this hideous monster, catching him off guard.His eyes widened because in the next second when he was still processing how he had lost the confidence he once had when he thought he could use some move. Now, he was left with nothing and my claws had went inside his chest.I watched the look on the werewolf's face as it finally sunk to him that he had lost and I raised my eyebrows at it. Did
Livia's POV:“M-Milady…” whispered madam kalliope, her breaths heaving in difficulty. Her eyes looked dazed until she saw that it was me.Don't worry, I'm here now, we should go somewhere else to tend to your wound,” I hurried the words I spoke and took one of madam kalliope's arm to round it over my neck but before I could raise my body, madam kalliope clutched to my dress tightly. My eyes widened for a moment, alarmed as I thought madam kalliope was hurting.“What's wrong?” I asked.“I just remembered. You have to be careful, L-Livia,” madam kalliope coughed for a moment. “T-the attack is only happening in the Villa's premises, for some reason the rest of the pack was spared.What? I remembered earlier when the lower werewolf was excited because he thought he had me. But that was odd. How could they enter without the other warriors being alerted?I poured my attention to madam kalliope again. “I will keep that in mind, for now, we should move to my room. It is the safest there. Stay
