The photo shoot session for Hoshino Ruby's summer collection by Deverell Apparel finally concluded. The Brand Ambassador had returned to her accommodation and would be returning to her home country tomorrow morning.The employees of Deverell Apparel started leaving the place one by one.Right in front of the door, a tall and muscular man was seen leaning against the door, wearing a leather jacket. From behind, Karina saw Sophia, who ran past him and hugged the man as if ignoring the people around them."Thank you for picking me up!" Sophia exclaimed excitedly.The man was equally delighted to see Sophia, who had just finished working over the weekend to see the photo shoot session of her idol, Hoshino Ruby."It's my duty to pick you up, darling." the man replied.Karina walked up to Sophia to bid her farewell, but Sophia enthusiastically introduced her boyfriend to Karina."Karina! Meet my boyfriend, Ezra." Sophia said excitedly, introducing her boyfriend to Karina.Karina met Ezra fo
"Are you going somewhere else, Karina?" Lucas asked, turning to Karina who had just handed over all her shopping items to the package delivery service attendant who would deliver them directly to her apartment.Since Lucas was using a motorcycle and Karina had bought too many items, Karina chose to have her shopping items delivered by the provided delivery service."No, I'll just go straight home." Karina replied."Do you want to accompany me to buy snacks?" Lucas asked."Snacks? Since when do you like eating snacks?" Karina asked."Since I started working, maybe?" Lucas replied, raising both eyebrows."Alright. Let's go to the snack store." Karina invited and walked ahead of Lucas.Lucas, who had been following Karina from behind, finally walked faster to walk alongside her.Seeing this, Arlo, who was following Karina, wanted to pull Lucas and felt like breaking Lucas' neck right then and there. But Arlo immediately remembered not to let Karina know.As a result, Arlo remained silent
Arlo reentered the luxurious apartment on the 50th floor of Prime Plaza Apartments after completing his task of observing Karina from a distance while she was shopping with Lucas."I'm back, Sir." Arlo reported to Viggo, who was engrossed in reading a book in his reading room.Viggo turned and looked at Arlo standing at the doorway, wearing a black leather jacket that was still clinging to his body. Viggo closed the book he was reading and placed it back on the bookshelf in front of him.On the 50th floor, in Viggo's residence, there was a spacious room filled only with books. From the floor to the ceiling of the room, bookshelves filled with various kinds of books adorned the space. There were books on general knowledge and even one on understanding women that Viggo couldn't comprehend until now. As an Alpha, Viggo felt weak because he couldn't understand the aspects of a human woman who was carrying his child.After putting down his book, Viggo walked towards Arlo and gently patted
500 years ago...The howling sound echoed throughout the palace, amid the bright moonlight on a dark night. The night that should have been peaceful turned ominous, and the sound of rumbling came from different directions.Initially, only one howl could be heard, which gradually turned into several howls from various werewolves guarding the gate, until the howling sounds slowly faded away one by one.The core family of the Celestria Kingdom, consisting of the Alpha, Luna, the Adolescent, and the Pup, gathered in the middle of the palace with their Shaman and Beta.The Seers, who were tasked with seeing the future and searching for any openings, remained silent and tried to glimpse into the future. But the results were empty. There was only darkness and emptiness."Do we still have no direction as to where we should go?" Ariana, the Luna of the Celestria Kingdom, asked with concern while holding her daughter."Not yet, Miss Ariana. I have tried, as has my partner. But the results were
Viggo, Arlo, and Scarlett continued to run through the forest in the middle of the night, trying to stay away from the area surrounding the palace, which was engulfed in flames. The attack by humans seemed to have been prepared in advance, especially with the fire they brought and the silver weapons, both of which were weaknesses for the werewolf species.Viggo's mind was in turmoil, especially after witnessing the deaths of Ariana and Eloise right before his eyes. It made him feel even more guilty for not leaving with his mother and sister.Viggo's footsteps suddenly stopped, causing Arlo and Scarlett to halt as well and turn to look at Viggo, who was still in his terrifying werewolf form."Arrgghh!" Viggo groaned and howled loudly, approaching a nearby tree and clawing at it until it fell from the force of his slashes.Arlo and Scarlett understood Viggo's feelings. He must have felt frustrated and angry because he couldn't do anything. In the end, Viggo could only vent his anger on
Present time…Viggo tapped his fingers repeatedly on the dining table in front of him while staring at Scarlett for quite a while. Scarlett's body felt frozen as she received Viggo's sharp gaze.For 500 years, she had been with Viggo, although she chose to live separately from him for the past 20 years. Nevertheless, Scarlett still felt intimidated whenever Viggo looked at her with his hazel eyes.The sound of Viggo's finger tapping suddenly stopped, causing Scarlett to immediately turn towards Viggo to see what he would do next."I want to go shopping. I need chocolate." Viggo suddenly said after sitting there for a full hour without doing anything.Scarlett felt guilty because she went home without notice and was now staying at Viggo's house without permission. Despite being together for 500 years and relying on each other, Viggo was still their superior.Viggo was an Alpha, while Scarlett and Arlo were merely subordinates, just like before. They considered themselves lucky because
The unexpected meeting between Karina and Viggo led them to one of the cafés near the shopping center area.Karina appeared to order an iced chocolate blend while Viggo ordered his usual iced Americano."It seems like you really love shopping. As far as I know, a few days ago you went shopping with your friend, Lucas," Viggo began their conversation after 10 minutes of silence.Karina took a sip of her chocolate drink and looked at Viggo. "At the apartment mini-market, I only bought some meat and household necessities, then yesterday I bought vegetables and fruits. And today, I decided to buy prenatal milk for the health of my own child," Karina replied.Viggo looked at Karina attentively, not attempting to respond to her statement. Instead, he simply enjoyed his coffee without commenting."I'm not used to shopping, so I often forget what to buy. And this month, I've already gone shopping three times," Karina added."Why not shop online through an app? It's modern times," Viggo replie
Karina's eyes sparkled as if a kilogram of glitter had just spilled into her old brown eyes when she saw Scarlett appear in front of her. Without waiting for a signal, Karina immediately stood up and reached out her hand enthusiastically. "Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Karina. I'm... Viggo's friend," Karina said eagerly.Karina glanced at Viggo and then hissed, "Why didn't you tell me that you and Scarlett are cousins?!" Viggo shrugged his shoulders, unaware that Scarlett would be so famous and that Karina was even a fan.Scarlett was even confused about how to respond because, as far as she knew, Karina was an ordinary human who knew nothing about werewolves. "Oh really? Well, it's an honor for me that you know about me," Scarlett replied, trying to hide her identity and not appear too excessive in front of Karina.Seeing how much Karina liked Scarlett, Viggo immediately placed a chocolate bar in her hand and then embraced Scarlett in front of Karina. "Hahaha, that's right, Scarl
The atmosphere was filled with the warmth of friendship and the joy of reunions. As Harry, Emma, and Martin joined the festivities, their presence added to the sense of togetherness that had come to define this group of extraordinary individuals.Harry, with his usual charisma, shared stories that had everyone laughing, while Emma's bright smile and Martin's witty remarks kept the conversations flowing. The camaraderie was palpable as old friends caught up and new connections were formed.Dante and Natalia, the inseparable couple, joined the group, their laughter blending seamlessly with the chatter around them. Emma's curiosity led her to ask Natalia about her profession, and with a proud smile, Natalia confirmed that she was indeed a midwife.Harry, intrigued, turned to Dante. "And what about you, Dante? What's your role in all of this?"Dante chuckled, exchanging a knowing look with Natalia. "Well, I'm not as directly involved in the medical field as Natalia, but I do support her i
Seven years later….Gathering around the barbecue, the pleasant aroma of grilling meat filled the air. Viggo arrived carrying a bag of meat, his son Easton walking by his side. As he stepped into the scene, Karina's eyes lit up, and she approached him with a smile, planting a warm kiss on his lips, a familiar and comforting gesture that spoke volumes about their love and connection.A sudden commotion caught their attention. Eloise, now a lively 7 year old, darted away, her laughter filling the air as she was chased by Kaiser, the young son of Odette and Lancelot.Eloise's playfulness was evident as she skillfully maneuvered around the tables and chairs, Kaiser hot on her heels. However, the carefree chase soon transformed into a playful argument.Eloise's voice rang out, "Kaiser, stop it! I don't want to be your Luna!"Kaiser, his youthful determination evident, responded with a cheeky grin, "But Eloise, we're going to get married
Upon hearing Scarlett's news about Harry's continued breathing after Gandalf left his body, Richard's eyes widened in disbelief and hope. Without wasting any time, he swiftly moved towards Harry's side, his heart pounding with a mix of worry and urgency.He signaled Poldo to assist him in transferring Harry to the nearby dining table, a more stable surface for medical treatment."Careful, Poldo. Let's get him over here," Richard instructed, his voice steady despite the turmoil within him.The two of them carefully moved Harry's unconscious form, and as Richard began to assess his condition, the room was tense with a mixture of anticipation and anxiety.Scarlett watched anxiously as Richard skillfully worked, his hands moving with precision as he used his medical equipment to assess Harry's vital signs. Every second felt like an eternity, the weight of the situation pressing heavily on everyone present. The room was filled with the beeping of medical devic
In a chaotic and fierce battle, the clash between the werewolves and the army of artificially created humans under Gandalf's command intensified. The battlefield was a symphony of roars, clashes, and the crackling of magical spells. The moonlit night bore witness to the desperate struggle for dominance, each side fighting with all their might.Gandalf, his body now a mosaic of scars and wounds, moved with an eerie determination. The dark magic coursing through him granted him an unnatural strength, but it was clear that his body was reaching its limits. The wounds inflicted by the werewolves and their relentless attacks had taken a toll, and his ability to regenerate had slowed down considerably.As he pushed through the battlefield, his gaze was fixed on the castle in the distance, his ultimate target. The castle, once a symbol of power and unity among the werewolves, now stood as the last line of defense against his relentless advance. He was determined to break thro
As the intense battle raged on, Viggo's vision slowly cleared as he struggled to regain his senses. His body ached, and the taste of blood lingered in his mouth, evidence of the toll that the fight had taken on him. Yet, something within him had changed. It was as if a dormant power had been awakened, fueled by the urgency of the situation.Summoning all his strength, Viggo pushed himself up from the ground, his eyes flashing with determination. He knew he couldn't afford to falter now, not when the fate of Celestria hung in the balance.Coughing up blood, Viggo managed to stagger to his feet, his presence commanding and formidable. With a newfound energy coursing through his veins, he felt the power of the alpha surging within him, stronger than ever before. The injuries and exhaustion seemed distant as he focused solely on the battle at hand.“Sir, are you okay?!” ask Arlo panicked when see blood in Viggo’s hand.Ignoring the pain, Vig
As the full moon cast its ethereal glow over the surroundings, a chorus of howls echoed through the night as the werewolves emerged from the shelter of Celestria. Meanwhile, inside Eloise's old room, the atmosphere was charged with a mixture of anticipation and tension.Karina's face contorted in pain as the contractions intensified. Natalia, Selena, and Zayn stood by her side, offering words of encouragement and support. Lavinia had departed, her presence now among the werewolves outside.Karina's grip tightened on the bedsheet beneath her as another wave of pain surged through her. Natalia adjusted her medical equipment, ready to assist in the process. Selena held Karina's hand firmly, her eyes filled with empathy and reassurance. Zayn was standing a bit farther, giving Karina the space she needed while his face displayed a mix of worry and determination.Suddenly, the room seemed to vibrate with a primal energy. A resonating roar, not of agony but of power, r
Everyone gathered in Viggo and Karina's room, watching as Karina began to feel the pain in her abdomen. They were all enthusiastic about the impending birth of the twin babies that would soon arrive tonight.Richard, who was also in the room, glanced out the window and saw the moonlight of the full moon still obscured by clouds. He turned and nodded to Arlo, signaling something unspoken."It's time to move Miss Karina to Miss Eloise's room, sir," Arlo said to Viggo.Viggo, who had been sitting beside Karina, holding her hand, gently kissed her forehead, providing a sense of calm. "I'm sure you're strong, my love. You're my wife, and you've come so far to overcome everything. Now it's time for you to fight for the last time," Viggo told Karina, trying to encourage his wife.Karina nodded her head, feeling her pain increasing as if the time to give birth was near. Her contractions continued to intensify as time passed.Slowly, Viggo released his grip
Viggo and Zayn stood casually outside a small convenience store, each holding a cup of steaming coffee. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted in the air as they leaned against the wall. The evening was cool, and the soft glow of the store's lights added a cozy ambiance to the scene.Zayn chuckled softly as he observed Viggo taking a sip of his coffee. "I can't help but find it amusing, you know," Zayn said, a mischievous glint in his eyes.Viggo raised an eyebrow, looking puzzled. "What's amusing?"Zayn's grin widened. "You, drinking coffee. I mean, I've heard about werewolves and their unique diet. Coffee isn't exactly part of that, is it?"Viggo chuckled in response, his lips curling into a wry smile. "You've got a point there. No, coffee isn't a usual part of our diet."Zayn playfully nudged Viggo's arm. "So, what's the occasion? Celebrating a successful arrest?"Viggo took another sip of his coffee, his expression thoughtful. "Not ex
The sound of a knock on the door made Zayn, who was immersed in his work, finally look towards the source of the sound. Coinciding with the knocking, the door to his office opened, and a man appeared behind it."What's up, Shawn?" Zayn asked as he saw Shawn, his assistant, entering the room.Shawn walked closer to Zayn and handed him a piece of paper. "The arrest warrant for Lucas has been issued. The CCTV footage you requested to be enhanced has been clarified, and the evidence is strong enough to prove that he ignited the fire at the hospital," Shawn explained.Zayn's eyes lit up instantly. He stood up from his seat and glanced at the arrest warrant. "Do the police know?" Zayn inquired."Yes, they do. They're heading to the location to apprehend Lucas," Shawn replied."Then let's go there too," Zayn said decisively.Shawn nodded and left Zayn's office first. Before leaving, Zayn reached into his pocket, took out his phone, and dialed Viggo
