Karina stepped into the bustling area of Deverell Apparel building in the morning. With a cup of warm coffee in her thermos, she couldn't wait to taste her freshly brewed coffee made from the new coffee machine she had bought a few days ago.Karina walked towards the elevator and entered it along with other employees heading to the floor where the general division was located. Some employees were discussing their enthusiasm for the promotion presentations for each division manager at Deverell Apparel.Karina listened while occasionally murmuring to herself, thinking about what presentation Viggo could deliver to secure the Director position that was being contested by all division managers in the office.Ding!The sound of the elevator chimed, and Karina quickly passed by a few people with a smile and exited the elevator. She crossed paths with several other employees who had just come down from another elevator on that floor."Good morning, Ms. Karina," greeted one female employee fr
Karina's eyes remained fixed on her laptop screen as she scrutinized the various writings in Viggo's presentation material. Occasionally, Viggo glanced at the content of the presentation written by Karina and made additions where necessary. Overall, Karina met Viggo's expectations almost perfectly.Although the presentation slides numbered only ten, Karina seemed to maximize her work through the presentation that would be delivered by Viggo. Unbeknownst to her, the day was gradually turning into evening, and several employees from the general division started leaving one by one, leaving their workplaces behind. Karina didn't even realize that it was getting late. Now, only she and Viggo remained on that floor."Ugh!" Karina groaned, feeling her shoulders stiffening, and stretched her body while glancing out the window behind her. Karina's eyes widened as she hadn't even realized how quickly time had passed."Sir, it seems like it's already late. Should we continue tomorrow?" Karina a
The presentation materials that had been prepared throughout the day by Karina and continued by Viggo in the evening after arriving at his apartment, finally were completed.For Viggo, preparing such things was ordinary. How could it not be? He had worked in various fields several times that required him to think creatively and have a high initiative.He had worked in various professions, ranging from manager, prosecutor, judge, lawyer, doctor, waiter, he had devoted himself to all of them.Viggo intentionally changed professions and places of residence whenever he reached the age of 40. He had to update his status, especially his date of birth, so that people wouldn't suspect anything.Of course, updating such things was easy for Viggo. Especially since he had Arlo, who was capable of everything and could be relied upon for anything.Returning to Viggo's presentation materials, he worked in the morning as usual. And he crossed paths with Karina who had just arrived in front of the el
Viggo and Karina walked towards the meeting room located on the third floor of the Deverell Apparel office building. They entered the meeting room together and took their respective seats.Several managers from other divisions also arrived, including the marketing manager who came with Lucas.Karina furrowed her brow upon seeing Lucas there, and their gazes finally met."Oh, hello, Ms. Karina," greeted Lucas to Karina.Upon hearing Karina being greeted, Viggo also turned and looked at Lucas, who appeared to be smiling warmly upon seeing Karina in front of him."Are you attending this meeting? I thought Mr. Steven would come with Mr. Brody," said Karina, looking confused.Steven, who was standing next to her, smiled. "Mr. Brody couldn't make it today because his wife gave birth. So Lucas is replacing him. He's doing a great job. It seems that if I get promoted, Lucas will become the assistant manager," said Steven."Oh, I see. Please give my congratulations to Mr. Brody," replied Karin
Viggo turned his head towards Karina, who appeared nervous, and rubbed her back to calm her down."Let's go back," Viggo invited.Karina nodded her head and got up from her seat with Viggo. Fred and Leo also got up and left the place.While Lucas and Steven were still discussing their ideas, especially their fantasies if Steven were to become a director."Still nervous? Want to buy coffee?" Viggo asked just as they had stepped out of the meeting room."No need, sir," Karina replied."Alright," Viggo responded, then walked towards the elevator.Just as Viggo was about to press the elevator button, Karina's phone suddenly rang, startling her. Karina quickly looked at the name that appeared on the screen, and it said Selena.Viggo, being taller than Karina, could see the name displayed on her phone screen, so he instructed Karina to answer the call before they returned to their workspace."You can answer it first," Viggo said.Karina was momentarily confused, but she saw Viggo shifting a
Karina's 12 week pregnancy examination was conducted at a different hospital than her first one. This time, Karina was accompanied by Viggo, the father of her unborn child.Although Karina refused to accept the fact that Viggo was the father of her baby, the blood in the baby's veins was the same blood that flowed through Viggo's body. Therefore, Karina couldn't deny the fact of their kinship.Karina even remembered clearly the saying that blood is thicker than water. "Why do I feel so nervous like this?" Karina murmured in her heart, occasionally clasping her hands together.Viggo, who was driving, realized that Karina was feeling restless being with him. He could sense it with his Alpha instinct. "Are you nervous?" Viggo asked without turning his gaze towards Karina.Karina turned towards Viggo and tried to cover it up, but it was futile as her voice trembled when she answered Viggo's question."No," Karina replied with a trembling voice.Viggo glanced at Karina but remained focused
Karina and Viggo entered the obstetrician's examination room and immediately sat down on a chair provided, right in front of the obstetrician."Hello, Mrs. Karina Magnolia," greeted the obstetrician."Hello, Dr. Harper," Karina replied, momentarily paused to recall the name of the doctor who would examine her pregnancy today.Harper, the obstetrician, smiled with her beautiful face. Although she appeared older than Karina, she seemed to have a friendlier smile compared to Karina's previous obstetrician."How are you today? Is everything alright, or is there anything else bothering you?" Harper asked kindly, gazing intently at Karina.Karina now began to feel comfortable with the conversation initiated by Harper. At least her expectations of encountering a rude obstetrician vanished from her mind."I'm fine, Doctor," Karina answered.Harper nodded her head a few times while looking at Karina. "Did you just eat chocolate?" the female doctor asked.Karina immediately startled and touched
"Selena, I'm leaving now!" Karina shouted with a mouthful of toast as she ran towards the door.Seeing Karina running like that, Selena immediately panicked and shouted, "Hey, don't run like that! You're pregnant, you know!" she yelled.Karina just laughed and waved her hand before exiting the apartment.As she reached the elevator, she bumped into Xavier, who happened to be leaving for work as well."Well, Karina, it looks like you're also heading to work?" Xavier greeted.Karina nodded her head and took a bite of her toast. "Yes, I'm actually running a little late. But hopefully, I'll make it on time," Karina replied."Shall I give you a ride to the office? I happen to have a meeting at one of the restaurants near Deverell Apparel building," Xavier offered.Karina thought for a moment and eventually nodded in agreement to his offer. "Sure, that would be great. I owe you one today," Karina replied after briefly considering the offer.The elevator door opened, and Xavier and Karina en
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
