Raquel’s POVI belong to you.As I uttered those words, I felt uncertain and a bit afraid.What if I’m the only one feeling this way, and he’s not?What if I end up getting hurt?I wouldn’t have a way to heal from that pain, I have nothing else in this life.Yet, he seemed oblivious to my feelings, only intensifying his kiss, lifting me to cloud nine.His warm hands moved, and all I knew was that my clothes had fallen to the cold floor one by one, leaving nothing behind.He pulled my hands, placing them on his chest. In a low, deep voice, incredibly sexy and tempting, he whispered, “Help me take off my clothes.”I nodded silently, trying to keep my balance as I unbuttoned his attire with trembling hands.Midway, he became less patient, pushing my body onto the bed and sitting on top of me.His eyes were completely red, piercing and predatory. My heart raced.Rather than fear, it fueled my excitement. Not because I’m a masochist, but his dominant aura made me feel like I should submit to him.“Don’t blame me for not being gentle,” he said with uneven breath.I knew it wasn’t just me excited, he was too.So, I reached out to embrace his neck, naturally wrapping my legs around his waist. With a hazy look, I replied, “I’m all yours, so up to you to do something rough to me.”Not only was he surprised by my words, but I was also taken aback. It’s as if those words emerged out of nowhere, and with a bit of courage, I said them to him.Fortunately, he wasn’t angry. Our bodies gradually merged and complemented each other. Only then did I realize how well we fit together.Even with his rough demeanor, it didn’t cause much pain. The pleasure slowly lulled me into a state of bliss and loss of reason.I woke up when the sunlight hit my face. Blinking uncomfortably, I looked to the other side of the bed.He was already gone.Though feeling a bit lost, I didn’t have time to be sad because my stomach loudly growled. I was hungry after nearly half the night thrown on the bed.Hastily getting up and cleaning myself, I walked out of the room towards the kitchen.As I descended the last stairs, Butler Lohan greeted me.“Young Lady, I’ve prepared porridge for you.”I nodded and returned Butler Lohan’s polite smile. It was the first time someone greeted me warmly.Butler Lohan was the only one working all day by Isaac’s side. He was accustomed to attending to all of Isaac’s needs, and for household cleanliness and other tasks, servants usually came every few days.“Is he... gone?” I was a bit confused about how to address Isaac. So, I just used the generic term ‘he,’ which was slightly less precise.Fortunately, Butler Lohan was tolerant enough and nodded with a smile. “Young Master went hunting.”After that, I heard Butler Lohan say, “Young Lady, you can call Young Master, husband, or by his name. Young Master usually doesn’t mind about such things.”“Ah...” I paused and pondered. It felt too odd to call him ‘husband’ or ‘alpha,’ wouldn’t it be more comfortable to just use his name?So, I decided to call him ‘Isaac.’After finishing my meal, I went for a stroll around the house to become more familiar with the surroundings. Butler Lohan couldn’t accompany me, so I went alone.Before leaving, Butler Lohan said, “There’s a lake not far from here if Young Lady walks a bit into the forest to the south. It’s safe, and the view is beautiful.”“Alright, I’ll go there to take a look.” I nodded and happily walked out.The house was quite large with a spacious yard, surrounded by trees, making it look like a house in the middle of the forest. Yet, mysteriously, it felt safe.I quite liked the atmosphere here, so I took leisurely steps while enjoying the fresh air.After circling the yard, I decided to find the lake mentioned by Butler Lohan. However, I was a bit unsure of the direction, so I guessed and went.Not long after that, I heard cries and pleas for help. Relying on my hearing, I searched for the source of the sound, only to see a familiar figure.It was Murphy, Isaac’s younger cousin. The girl was learning archery and being toughly trained by a mentor. Due to her reluctant learning, the mentor compelled her to keep shooting arrows until her hands were wounded.She cried and pleaded to be released from the intense training.Then, Isaac appeared in their line of sight, so Murphy seized the opportunity to ask Isaac for help to be freed from her mentor.I witnessed all of this from afar and didn’t dare to approach, but it didn’t mean I was hiding.Since we connected last night, our presence was automatically something that couldn’t be concealed.Isaac looked in my direction, and our gazes coincidentally met. I tried to offer a faint smile and walked away, after all, he didn’t ask me to come, and I didn’t want to approach him.However, it didn’t mean I could leave because Murphy also noticed my presence.With her distinctive cheerful voice, Murphy waved towards me and exclaimed, “Sister-in-law!”Upon hearing her call, I nodded politely.Once discovered by the three of them, I didn’t have the courage to just leave. So, I awkwardly took steps closer.“Sorry, I accidentally saw you. I was originally heading to the lake.”“But the lake isn’t here, it’s over there,” Murphy pointed to the other side of their location.“Ah, in that case, I took the wrong path.”“No worries, you’ll get used to it. Sister-in-law can play with me, and I’ll show you the way to the lake!”Murphy wanted to put down her bow, but her mentor tugged at her ear and coldly said, “You still have an hour of practice left, don’t go anywhere!”“Ugh... you’re so cruel! Isaac, you have to help me get away from him...”I looked towards Isaac, curious about how he would handle this situation. It seemed like the relationship between Isaac and Murphy was so good that the girl could be so affectionate towards him.Also, didn’t Butler Lohan say that Isaac went hunting? So, what was he doing near here? Was the hunting already finished?Raquel's Point of ViewThe full moon shone brightly with its beautiful appearance, its light piercing through the thin curtains in the room.I sat on the edge of the bed, gazing out the window calmly. However, my heart was beating very fast.Afraid and confused.How to say it, I shouldn't be in this place. I should still be in my small room, looking at a photo of my mother and my younger self, smiling brightly under the sunlight.I shouldn't be here, sitting and waiting for that man to come.Yet, I dare not leave, I have nowhere to go.The sound of the bedroom door opening startled me, but I didn't dare to look back, only sharpening my sense of hearing. Firm and resolute footsteps approached.Then the cold and dominant voice of the man sounded, piercing my ears, making my body tense."Stand up!" he said, clearly not accepting any refusal.I stood up without delaying even for a moment. Facing the man, Isaac Kingston, who exuded a frightening and powerful aura."Lift your face," Isaac s
Raquel POVTurning my face away and lowering my head, I dared not look again. I stood motionless with an upright posture and a rapidly beating heart, waiting for him to approach with the people behind him. "Alpha is very handsome and strong," praised Saphira. Since the distance between us was not too far, I could hear those words very clearly. Saphira may not have thought anything was wrong with her praise, but those who knew the truth seemed a bit frozen. Even Beatrix, who immediately pressed Saphira's hand and whispered, "Don't say anything inappropriate. Remember, he's your sister's alpha." "I know." Saphira snorted irritably, then glanced in my direction before saying in a voice only we could hear, "You're quite lucky." Even if I could hear the sour tone in Saphira's voice, I felt no joy at all—only disgust and anger in my heart. I looked towards my father, the man showed no emotion. He remained silent and stern as usual. I sighed helplessly. Isaac stopped a few steps in fr
3rd Point of View “Did she just kiss my neck?” Isaac questioned the alpha wolf within him. He couldn’t believe this was happening, the omega had the audacity to kiss his neck. However, the kiss felt fleeting, like a dragonfly landing and departing in the next moment, leaving an itching sensation on his neck. Her small, warm body pulled away, but Isaac pulled her back, wrapping his arms around her slender waist. He held Raquel in place, unwilling to let her go. The scent of roses filled his senses, presenting its own temptation. When they first met, he knew the omega had an intriguing scent, but Isaac didn’t expect it to match his preferences so perfectly. It was as if a void within him was slowly being filled, and he wanted to imprison it tightly. Not a single strand of hair should escape that confinement. Isaac never anticipated feeling real temptation from someone. After greedily inhaling the rose-scented neck, he distanced himself, gazing into those beautiful black eyes with
