DAHLIA'S POVMy face crumbled like a piece of paper and my eyes filled with disgust and hate upon looking at the thing in front of me.Well, that ‘thing’ was none other than a large cave that was filled with slaves who were still alive yet not really that alive. Although they were breathing, they seemed to be dead. There were men and women that were inside of the two large cages. They were all drained and they looked like sockets because they were too thin, as if they hadn't eaten properly for years.However, there were some of their fellow slaves who were being locked inside of the cage and had died. If I am not mistaken, there were thirty slaves inside of the first cage and twenty-five slaves inside of the second cage, which is next to each other.However, there were thirty-five of them who had already died inside of the cage, leaving the slaves who were still half alive, looking like skeletons.“Fuck... this is so damn cruel!” I couldn't help but grit my teeth from anger as I look
DAHLIA'S POV“I..It was Dahlia! S...She was the one who did this to me! S-She was manipulating us this whole time! She's the real de...cough—” He wasn't able to finish his words when he coughed up blood, making his state become pitiful, especially in the eyes of his people who were looking at him with worry and sympathy.I glanced at Kaleid and raised my brows. “He can talk?” Kaleid smiled and nodded his head while he leaned closer to my face, stealing a kiss from me.“Yeah, I didn't cut off his tongue because he still had to have his tongue in order for him to spout nonsense and talk to his loyal believers to clear his name because they wouldn't believe us if we probably felt Mayor Phil's tongue and would just think that we were lying.” Kaleid explained, making me fell into a deep thought and couldn't help but feel relieved.I almost dug a pit for myself. It was a good thing that Kaleid saved me from the pit that I dug.“Damn! It's that Hail Family again! I told you that they are cu
DAHLIA'S POVKaleid and I were the ones who took the lead for them, Arthur, and also those people among the residents who were also curious about what we, among them, had said earlier. Although they trusted Mayor Phil, after hearing our words, their hearts were in turmoil and couldn't help but waver. They also wanted to see and make sure that the person that they gave their trust was a trustable person, even if it was the Mayor or someone who had a high rank.In other words, they just left Mayor Phil lying on the ground, completely helpless and trembling from fear of his secrets being known to everyone. He tried to open his mouth and scream from the top of his lungs just to get our attention, trying to stop us from going to his underground, but no one paid attention to his scream and even if he shouted and was even trying to use his words to manipulate his people again like the way he used to, he wasn't able to do so.All because I had already managed to capture the heart and attentio
DAHLIA'S POVAs soon as I let out those words, I saw Mayor Phil's eyes trembling from fear, as if he really didn't want to recall the ‘boss’ of his whom he was allied with to deal with my father, who was their target. Because my father happened to be Mayor Phil's target, since he hated my father, who was more wealthy, plus he had a lot of connections than him, he envied him most.While the other one who was Mayor Phil's boss, although I don't know what's the reason why he targeted my father, I can guess from the fact that he was the one who ordered to force my father to eat the drugs—forcefully feed him, was probably all because he was trying to use my father as his test-subject.Although I don't have evidence about it, my gut was telling me that the boss of Mayor Phil and also the one who made the drugs turn a human or a werewolf into a demon, a monster.A monster that everyone feared.I coldly looked at Mayor Phil who had a paralyzed expression, still had, horrors plastered on his
DAHLIA'S POVI could feel her hand wrapped tightly around my neck, pinching my vital point as if she couldn't wait to press it tightly if my answer was unsatisfactory to her. When I looked at her, her eyes were filled with hatred, doubt and most of all... she was hesitant.I couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle in my heart. Who would have thought that she was a soft-hearted woman despite having such a stoic and stern expression that was plastered on her face all day?Even her hands that were on my neck were also shaking as if she was afraid to press them tightly enough to kill me.In other words, she didn't want to kill me and was just trying to scare me so that she could gather information from my own mouth.I squeezed out my palm tightly, enough for me to feel pain and the corner of my eyes reddened, looking at her with my doe eyes plus with a pitiful expression.“W-Why are you being like this to me, Irene? I-I am clearly innocent... I didn't do anything wrong... I just got her
DAHLIA'S POVIrene still had guilt flashing in her eyes whenever her gaze would land on me, especially on my neck. The mark that she had made hadn't faded and I could still feel her hand tightly wrapped around my neck, making me feel uncomfortable at the same time. It made me irritated for some reason.Just when I was about to pretend again that everything was fine and that I had already forgiven her, when I heard such a cold voice ringing on our left side.“Dahlia.” When I looked at my left side, I saw Kaleid who was walking in a hurried manner towards my direction and immediately sat in front of me, holding my chin while looking at me in the eyes.“What happened? Why were you on the floor?” He softly askedHowever, before I could answer him, his gaze had landed on my neck, making her see such a terrifying mark that it wrapped around my neck.Kaleid turned his head, glancing at Irene who was averting her eyes out of guilt.“What did you do to her?” Kaleid asked heavily while his eye
DAHLIA'S POVI watched the slaves whose eyes were dull and lifeless, filled with hope the moment that they saw the cage was opened. They dragged out their sickly and skinny body with desperation as if they were afraid that in a moment by now, someone would lock them up again if they won't move fast.Despite that their body was weakened, filled with hunger, and tiredness, and their eyes shone like a star the moment that they got out of the cage.I couldn't help but stare at them and didn't even notice the lone tear that slid down my cheeks.“Are you okay?”Before I could turn my head to look at Kaleid who had asked me those questions when I felt his thumb, gently wiped my cheeks.I looked at him dumbfoundedly. “What are you doing?”“You were crying,” he said with a serious expression. My brows furrowed and didn't answer his words.Instead, I stared at the innocent people whose eyes were shining brightly the moment they were freed. I walked in their direction and after seeing me, all
DAHLIA'S POVI don't know why but for some reason, I couldn't lie to Kaleid especially when he would look at me with those eyes. The eyes that were filled with worries and affection towards me, behind those stoic and the seriousness plastered on his face while looking at me right now. His eyes were filled with doubt and then he looked at Crystal who also had those ‘child-like’ innocent as if she was telling everyone by her expression that she doesn't know anything and she was just a cute innocent lamb.“Did you say something to her other than about Mayor Phil?” It was Kaleid who sharply asked, looking at Crystal.Damn, he's sharp.However, Crystal, on the other hand, didn't cry like the other kids do whenever they see someone who has a scary expression on their face. Instead, Crystal's eyes innocently flustered, tilting her head to the other side as she made a pause, trying to recall our conversation before she shook her head.“No. Our topic was only Mayor Phil and how he managed to
THIRD PERSON’s POVThere was a majestic woman who was dressed in a silky unity, one shoulder ruched split thigh dress that outlined the curves of her body and in all of the little movements she made, the golden accessories that she was currently putting on for herself would dangle and make a sound.Her hand softly reached out and gently combed her long silky white hair as she crossed her legs while calmly looking at the large clouds that formed like an oval-shaped mirror.However, the one she saw on the cloud that formed like a mirror wasn’t herself, rather it was the two couples who were famous in the mortal world.They are none other than Kaleid Del Fuego and Dahlia Hail.No one could tell what the exquisite
THIRD PERSON’s POVIn the night, when the moon shined brightly as if it was trying to send its light to the two powerful couples and it seemed to be sending its blessings to the two couples.Kaleid was graciously waiting for his bride to come to his side. His legs were slightly trembling, and he couldn’t contain his nervousness. At the same time, his heart was filled with excitement at the thought that today was the day that he would be wedded by his mate, his beloved woman whom he couldn’t live without.His heart thump was getting louder and louder than it had with the loud thump of the gongs, as soon as he saw his mate, Dahlia, who was wearing a draped front drawstring-sided split thigh-sequin halter dress that outlined the shape of her body. It was also paired with a golden crown that was on top of
DAHLIA'S POVKaleid let out a soft chuckle as he bent his head, leaning closer to my face and planted a kiss on my lips.“Of course, I would be glad to be wedded to you. I had been thinking of marrying you ever since the day that I met you when I requested to transfer to the Wolven Academy as a professor just to find you.” He kissed me again on the lips and looked at me in the eyes.I pursed my lips to hide the corner of my lips that wanted to raise yet only to fail, hiding the redness of my ears.Seeing that he chuckled upon seeing my expression, I hid my face on his chest to hide my embarrassment, making his chest vibrate and his voice entered my ears.“Stop laughing!” I exclaimed while patting his chest
DAHLIA'S POVMy body trembled when I felt his warm hands that were filled with calluses, outlining the shape of my body as they moved on my spine and until they had reached my bra.I could hear the click sound when he succeeded in unclasping the hook of my bra.In between our hot kisses, he ripped off my shirt and threw it on the ground along with my bra. It was also the same as him who had ripped off his shirt.“Can I?” He softly asked while rubbing his face on my cheeks while his fingers traced the curves of my body, sending shivers down my spine.He raised his head and as our eyes locked, he squinted his eyes seductively and leaned closer to my face, kept on kissing my lips as he hummed in inquiry.
DAHLIA'S POVI pursed my lips as I buried my face in his chest. I haven't even got the chance to apologize to him after all the misunderstandings I had towards him for thinking that he was the one who had betrayed me in our past life.All of the anger, the hate and all the animosity I had towards the person who had betrayed me in my past life was thrown at Kaleid for thinking that he was the person who had betrayed me when, in fact, it was Ingrid, his twin brother, who purposely drove me mad for thinking that it was Kaleid who had betrayed me.I can't help but feel bad whenever I remember the day when I cursed him to death and even planned on killing him.If I succeeded in killing him, it would be my worst nightmare and I would regret it for the rest of my life,
DAHLIA'S POVI stiffened. Slowly, my eyes were getting wider as I turned my head and looked at the man in front of me.“Kaleid...”The corner of his lips raised as his hand reached out and naturally patted my head. “En, it's me.”“When did you get back? Were you hurt?” I asked as my eyes unconsciously glanced at his body, trying to check if he was really okay.The moment I saw a scratch on his body that was slowly healing thanks to his ability to heal like a werewolf, I couldn't help but feel distressed.It seemed like he was able to sense my distress, he gave me a soft yet reassuring smile while patting my head.
DAHLIA'S POVSince both I and Mill had convinced Killian that we should go to the forest and have a look at the explosion and see if Ingrid had finally died this time and, at the same time, to check the safety of Kaleid, I couldn't help but let out a triumphful smile.Although I may not seem to show it on the outside that I was worried about Kaleid, deep inside I was anxious. I tried to hypnotize myself into thinking that Kaleid was okay and there was no need for me to worry too much because it would consume my energy and also would affect my baby.I forced a smile out of my lips and looked at Killian, whose brows were twitching. “Let's go! Go! Go! Hurry up!”I urged them both, afraid that they would change their decision right after they realized something.
CHAPTER 102DAHLIA'S POVBefore Kaleid and Ingrid's battle had broken out, I had already contacted Laura beforehand and told her about my plans.“What are you going to do with the microbombs? You know that it could explode and kill a person's body if it was planted?!” Laura exclaimed as she put both of her arms on her waist while her brows were furrowed, looking at me with those fierce eyes.I helplessly sighed and nodded my head. “Yes, I know. Don't worry, I'm not planning on involving innocent people in this. I just wanted to kill someone, which was the reason why one of the people had turned into such a monster.”Hearing this, Laura's brows furrowed as she stared at me for a few minutes before she let out a heavy sigh.“It won't harm you, right? I'm reminding you again, Dahlia, in case if you forget the fact that you are pregnant, you cannot stress yourself or overwork!” Laura exclaimed while looking at me unhappily.I gave her a reassuring smile as my hand reached out and patted h
THIRD PERSON'S POV Ingrid sneered and grabbed the syringe from his pocket. Without hesitation, he injected the two syringes into both of his arms, making Kaleid's eyes shake in disbelief.Kaleid thought that Ingrid would become a monster like those people that had been injected with the syringe Ingrid had created and would start acting only with their own instincts, killing everyone that they could see, regardless of whether they were their family or not. However, Ingrid didn't lose himself.However, his appearance had changed. His wimpy arms and body had started to grow muscles. His height was much even taller than Kaleid and his face even sharper. He became totally different from Ingrid a while ago.His arms, his legs, his body, and his neck were filled with veins that were throbbing. It was probably the effect of the drugs, forcing his body to go beyond its limits, especially when the drugs seemed like they could make someone strong.“You're really crazy,” Kaleid uttered as he too
