I even slid closer to his face for him to have a better look. Close enough that our lips were about to reach each other. But upon doing that, Ghino was supposed to be the one to feel awkward. In the end, it was my face that just turned red similar to a rotten tomato. To avoid the embarrassing moment further, I moved my face away from Ghino. "Well. Aside from your good-looking face and well-built body, I also like the way you smile at me. It was like you have this kind of charisma that can lighten the dark, lift someone's terrible mood, and cure all illnesses." After washing our hands with water, Ghino and I headed out of the toilet room. He shrugged off me in a friendly way to make sure those who see us will not feel suspicious, especially Melissa. "Really? I have those qualities?" Could not help but ask when what Ghino just mentioned earlier was all hyperbole. I'm not a light that can brighten the dark. Neither is a medicine that could cure all illnesses. However, I c
"Is everything all right, Nathan?" Ghino's tap on my shoulder made me startled. However, he was more surprised by my sudden reaction, so he quickly removed his hand from my shoulder. "I'm sorry," I muttered back and tapped his shoulder to make it up for what happened five seconds ago. "Are you ready for your first day on the job?" Ghino reached out to my hand which I put on top of his shoulder and smiled. "Please be good to me, boss. It's gonna be my first job. Start with an easy one." I smiled back at Ghino. "What if your job in the meantime was to go out with me? Would that sound easy to you?" The fact is that I still don't know what kind of job I should task him with. Everything in the mansion has already covered by the hundreds of security guards and caretakers. I can't afford to see Ghino mopping the floors, washing the dishes and clothes, and worst of all, be one of the security guards, who kept securing the mansion 24/7. I should be the one to protect hi
Despite the utter sleepiness, Ghino lifted half of his body and turned his sceptical expression at me. "Nathan, are you even listening to yourself? You're only making things worse. What do you think will happen to us without the pack? We'll become lone wolves. A lone wolf will not get any protection. I'm a half-cyborg. No companies will accept me. And worst of all, we were still studying. And you were used to an easy life. What can we accomplish by that?" I only stated one idea to prove our love will somehow exist amidst the cruelty of the world. However, Ghino had already given me a million reasons that those dreams and fantasies being drawn into our brains can barely be given colours. And it kinda hurt my feelings that we are not on the same page even if I believed we love each other. I'm only doing what I think is right. For both of us. Why can't love just be enough for two people to be happy? "How about this? We'll wait for your turn to become the next king and alp
Days have passed by, everything went well according to our plan. Ghino works with me as my personal assistant, bodyguard, and driver all at the same time. He always wakes me up in the morning, prepares my meals every time I woke up late, checks and organizes my daily schedule as the prince, and drives me in and out of the mansion with or without Melissa. But most of the days were without Melissa. For what it's worth, we always make use of our limited time in the world, especially when we dropped by his apartment. We never miss making love every time we were in his apartment. On the bed, in the kitchen, couch, and even in the bathroom. And all of that was beyond everyone's knowledge. No one knows about the forbidden love we are doing except me and Ghino. Some, specifically Melissa, might be feeling suspicious every time I went home late, but I always come up with a better excuse. But I always keep in touch with her every time I will be home late. To make it up to h
After our morning class ended, Melissa and I immediately headed out of the room to continue the tour. The last time I had her tour the school, most of the rooms and departments were closed. Now that the school is back, I decided to tour her the remaining places we haven't visited, especially Ghino's department. "How about we should have our lunch first? It's already noon, Nathan. We only have one hour before our afternoon class. Let's have the tour tonight. And besides, it's super hot outside. What do you think?" Melissa highly suggested it. Melissa was right. The temperature was indeed sweating and sizzling outside. I don't want Melissa's glowing skin to get burns or rashes. But we are already far from our department's canteen. On the bright side, Ghino's canteen department was just a few steps already. So, I decided to have our lunch in their department. "Prince Nathan? Lady Melissa?" Nadine's eager voice greeted us even from afar. When I got the chance to gl
Melissa deliberately removed her face from me and displayed a smile on her face, "ah. I remember now. You fully paid Ghino's debt worth half a million dollars just to unmate me. How sweet of you, Nathan? How I wish I could have someone like you in my life." Melissa and Ghino's friends who are not aware of the payment transaction enlarged their eyes with their mouths shut off. I can't see Ghino's reaction when he was standing behind me, holding Lilith's waistline. His hand was trying to tell me that he is going to stop Lilith from whatever announcement she is going to announce. But his hatred towards Lilith was obviously blazing in fire. That makes the two of us. "I'm so sorry, miss, whoever you are. As you can see, we were surrounded by twenty security guards. Why do you think someone to be my slave when I can do whatever I want?" Melissa said back. "Oh. I forgot to introduce myself. Apology, my Lady. My name is Lilith. Not the Lilith that you know in the human
As soon as they could build a strong relationship, they will hold onto it. Ghino will start valuing Melissa as his friend. And Melissa will do the same to Ghino. They will be depending on each other like what happened between me and Ghino. Worst-case scenario, whatever relationship we could have will swirl between the three of us. Melissa loves me. Ghino loves me. And I love Ghino. In the end, Melissa will be the one to get hurt. Shit. While holding onto that thought, I could barely see a better future between the three of us if Ghino and Melissa will become close friends. It will only lead us to heartaches, betrayal, and destruction. But, what am I supposed to do to make sure the two will not become close friends? Melissa even has their digits already. And as far as I could remember, Ghino already likes Melissa's strong personality. After my first presentation, out of the five songs, that I am going to perform, I had my fifteen minutes break joining Melissa, Ghin
A few minutes later, Melissa's wonderful party has turned into continuous fist fights, broken glasses and plates, and tumbled tables that were scattered on the floor. Aside from that, our faces were also covered in blood, wounds, and bruises. If not because of the restaurant's security guards and servers who eased us off, our fist fight may continue to the point that some of us, either me or Ghino, might shift into a wolf right in front of everyone. Some of the party-goers immediately disappeared from the building to make sure they will not get involved with our fight. I also ordered one of the security guards to send Melissa back to our mansion. "Ghino, your lips are bleeding." Nathan reached out to my face but I quickly shoved his hand away from me. "I'm fine. Go home, Nathan. Melissa might be looking for you if you're not there." Ghino said back as he straightened his crumpled clothes. After straightening his clothes, Ghino leapt back to his friends and open
Because I can't stop his blood from flowing, I encourage Nathan to focus on his healing abilities. But Im not sure if he was listening to my words when I could barely feel his breathing anymore. His eyes weren't moving at all either. After hearing no sound of a single heartbeat from Nathan, I held his hands and applied what Scott taught me about absorbing someone's pain. And I don't care if I'm gonna lose all my strength and power to save Nathan. "Oh. So, sweet of you, Ghino. Still, trying to revive Nathan's life? Come on. I already told you in the nightmares a few times that you can't beat me. You can't stop me. Because you're too weak for me." Victor kept encircling me as though he was enjoying the show. "Nathan... Please, talk to me. I can't live without you. Please, wake up." I let go of my grip to relax my muscles a bit. Then, I reached out to his hands for the second time and absorbed all the discomfort that he felt. "Just give up, Ghino. He's already dead. N
The next thing that happened was when I found myself lying on the ground covered in blood. And my eyes enlarged when the scent of the blood was not mine but Scott's. So, I shortly checked my chest if I got wounded by Ghino's claws. There's none. Then, I dragged my eyes back to Scott as my eyes saw how deep the penetration was when a few drops of blood got ejected from his body while removing Ghino's hands from him. Scott turned around, ignored those drops of blood coming out of his chest, and pointed his sharp gaze at Victor. Knowing what Scott could do, Victor stepped back and shifted into a wolf. A huge terrifying wolf. It was my first time seeing him transformed into a gigantic wolf. No wonder even alphas like my dad, Vladimir, and Cerberus are terrified of him. Who could not be? His werewolf body size was three or five times bigger than Scott's wolf size. However, Scott showed no fear of his shocking transformation. He crawled closer and closer to Victor with
As soon as the ten armoured cars started trekking to the main entrance of the football field, continuous sounds of gunshots immediately arose. Howlings and moans also reverberated in our ears; our indications for me, Scott, and Lilith to head to the back entrance of the football field. As expected, Victor's wolves also greeted us when we reached the mouth of the entrance. Luckily, there were only six of them who were stationed at the back. Despite the fact that we are still outnumbered, I'm confident enough that we can defeat them with the help of Scott's true alpha power, especially when he already regained much of his power. I may not join them in his training with Ghino, but I can sense he was also regaining his strength and power in silence. "Nathan, leave these wolves to us. Better find Ghino as soon as possible. Right now, he was the most valuable wolf amongst us. He should not die and be saved at all costs. Do you understand me?" Scott made sure the message wil
{Nathan's POV} The next morning, I woke up on the bed alone with Ghino's pillows lying on the floor. After putting them back, I quickly jumped out of the bed and descended to the first floor to help everyone with the final preparation for the battle against Victor and his wolves. "How's everything?" I asked Scott when he was the first wolf who greeted my eyes the second I hopped out of the elevator. "Everything's ready, Prince Nathan. Have you checked about any updates from Roger?" Scott asked back. My hands quickly reached out to my phone in my pocket to check out of I got notified by Roger or his daughter. The second my eyes landed on the screen, I immediately called back when there were four missed calls from Roger's name. "I got a missed call from Roger," I muttered to Scott while the phone from the other line kept ringing. After a few attempts at reaching out to Roger's digits, my calls were already directing me to his mailbox. And I don't know what to
But from the way, the wolves around Cerberus looked at me, my feeble instinct was telling me I was right about it. They didn't know about my statement. That's why Cerberus immediately changed the subject. And by the way, Cerberus looked at me, his expression suddenly changed. From a steady heartbeat, they skipped a few times. Aside from that, he was pacing his eye to and from mine. "We're here for Edwin. Where is that bastard?" Nathan insisted. He then challenged Cerberus to growl back as though he had almost forgotten the man still had his alpha blood even if he already surrendered his title to Victor. "That's one of our purpose coming here, Cerberus." I produced a ticking sound in my mouth. "I'm not gonna address you politely anymore since you no longer deserve my sole respect." "We're here for a negotiation, Mr Cerberus. To get you out of the mess the Blue Moon Pack are facing into. And for you to get back your alpha title instead of just a dog to someone's sha
Three days before the full moon, we have gathered a total of sixty wolves from different packs and a hundred humans who are in the middle of their worries and fears of joining forces with us. We openly declared to them that we are not the way they think about us. That we were the same monsters who killed people. But Scott and I always encouraged them to demolish that kind of mindset; that not all werewolves are as monstrous as Victor. I hate promises, but Scott promised them that we are getting back what was right for the humans at the right time. In order to make that happen, we need them to have enough courage and help us with the plan. Roger and his daughter also flew back to Russia to seek help if he could get any. And will give us feedback as soon as possible before the full moon. As far as we know, Victor hadn't completed colonizing the entire United States. That means the rest of the countries are still untouched by Victor's wrath. However, I'm pretty sure t
"How does it differ when you go there alone without any chance of killing the murderer of your parents, Nathan? If you want to die there, I'll go with you. But we must have a plan. A divine plan. Will you trust me on this one for the last time?" Then, I shifted back into a human and offered a hand to him. Nathan stared at my hands hanging in the air for a few seconds. And it somehow hurt me when it already takes a minute, yet he did not reach out to my hands. "But this is my fight, Ghino. You've done enough for me and the pack. I don't want to accuse you again." Nathan felt sorry for what happened between us back in the town. Then, I felt at ease when he grabbed my hand. "Even if you will accuse me a million times, Nathan, I know in my heart I will never do that to you. From the day my wolf fell in love with you, I took an oath to protect you even if it cost my life." Despite the news that befell Nathan, I forced a smile at him, thinking it might change his mood. "
Without hesitation, I hopped out of the car and shifted into a wolf after seeing those three newly-bitten wolves approaching in our direction. Even from the distance, I could feel their hunger and urge to see blood on their claws and fangs. And from what I could sense, Victor's wolf scents were marked and sealed on them. It means that they were humans Victor recruited recently. The worst part is that I could barely sense any signs of mercy in their expressions. Victor intentionally left them to kill whoever they could see. That was all the nightmares about. He let me believe it was me who killed those piled-up bodies in my dream but it was his new wolves' doing. "Ghino... don't!" Nathan yelled at me but it was already too late when I jumped on the wolves and attacked them one by one which also left Scott and Nathan no choice but to follow. Roger and his daughter also helped. "Ghino, leave these three omegas with us. You better check the tunnels if they're still
"I guess that's a long story to tell, Mr Scott. How about you can continue the storytelling on our way to New York?" It sounded a bit harsh but kneeling everything about what happened to him is our less priority. Our stay in San Francisco had already taken long enough compared to what we planned which is on our second day, we must be travelling back to New York with or without Scott Mccall so we could plan our next move against Victor and his wolves. "And for the record, Mr Scott, we are gonna use the car to get to New York, not with the use of our werewolf barefoot. We don't want you to use and drain all your werewolf strength before reaching the city." Ghino added. "Okay. Just give me a sec. I need to talk to Aria first." Perhaps Scott was referring to the female alpha. Then, he shifted back to his human form and slid to the corner where the female alpha is. I slid closer to Ghino to discuss about the next plan since we already have Scott with us. Sadly, before I could even step
