Loraine’s PovI watched as Aaron reluctantly accepted me, having Klein to protect me if he wasn’t there. I helplessly watched him glare at Klein.“If you dare to make a move on someone you shouldn’t, you’ll know your fate, right?” He coldly said while looking at Klein as if he would bare his claws and teeth right now.Klein remained smiling and he nodded his head. “I’ll do everything to protect her from your fiancée and your beloved family.”“You!” Aaron angrily glared at him, and gritting his teeth, suddenly regretting that he couldn't punch Klein since I had told him that he shouldn’t hurt him. He added, “You shouldn’t be thankful that I couldn’t kill you right here and now.”Klein innocently looked at him. “But what I said was true? Where was I wrong?”Seeing that Aaron was going to burst from anger, I helplessly stopped them from fighting.“Let’s get out now. I’m tired and want to have a rest.” I calmly said, intervening between them and I coldly looked at them in the eye. “Stop f
Loraine’s PovAs soon as I visited the clinic, I received a big hug, coming from Anna, who was supposed to be in bed, resting.“Are you okay? Did you get hurt? Damn that woman!” She exclaimed while, at the same time, she was examining me from top to bottom, making sure that I was alright.I helplessly chuckled and patted her head. “Yeah, I’m fine. I told you that nothing could easily bring me down, so you don’t have to worry. If they continue to bring me down, I will only find ways to go back up.”“En, that’s good to hear. However, don’t put yourself in trouble just to save them. You are not a hero or a saint, okay? It’s okay to be selfish,” Anna said with a serious tone while patting my back.I laughed and nodded my head. She was about to continue nagging at me, but her eyes shifted to the person behind me.Her brows furrowed as she looked at me in confusion. “Who is he? Why is he following you?”I looked at Klein who was smiling and answered what Anna had asked. “I will be serving L
Loraine’s Pov“How do you know me and why do you know me from before?” I asked, and could hear the loud thump of my heart while I was speaking to him.Would this be the time that I would find out more about my bloodline?Klein smiled and shook his head. “This isn’t your time to know more about your bloodline. However, I can assure you my loyalty and faithfulness. It is your parents who have worked hard to show you this world and want you to live an ordinary life.”I couldn’t help but furrow at his words. “What do you mean by that?”“That is exactly what I mean. Your parents want the best for you, but the people around you want to harm you. You should be careful who you want to put your trust in, especially if they already know that you are still alive and want to get you for your blood.” Klein calmly said while letting out a sigh.The more he speaks, the more confused I become.“What do they want from me? And what’s up with my blood? Why are they so obsessed with it? What’s so special
THIRD PERSON'S POV“Damn it! Loraine here, Loraine there! All he could talk about was Loraine! Why can't that fucking bitch die?!” Pauline angrily screamed to her heart's content as she threw the things on her table, making her maids flinch and one of them even cried when the fragment of the broken piece of the case had scraped her cheeks, leading to it to bleed.Hearing her scream and cry, Pauline looked at that woman with fury.She walked towards her and unhesitatingly grabbed her hair, making her yelp from pain.“Bitch, what the fuck are you crying for?!” Pauline angrily asked while she tightened the grip of her hands that was clenching on the maid's hair.The maid cried and trembled, not even daring to look at her in the eyes as she begged for mercy.“I-I'm sorry... I-I'm sorry... it hurts... it really hurts...”Pauline sneered and pushed her back on the floor, not even caring whether she would break her bones or not.“Get out of my sight! You're fired!” Pauline angrily shouted.T
Loraine's PovA week had already passed ever since I was sent to prison by Pauline and in those weeks, all I could say was that my life had never been so peaceful.I thought that Pauline would start messing with me after I was rescued by Aaron, but this week, I have never seen her face.Which is good.I should enjoy these peaceful days because I know that sooner or later, she will start appearing in front of me and start messing with me.Who knows what she is up to next time?“Loraine, have you thought about it?” Anna asked, bringing me back to reality.I helplessly sighed and shook my head. “No, I haven't.”“But isn't this good?” I saw the way her eyes sparkled. “This is only one time experienced! We can only experience this only once a year! Why not join us? Isn't it said that even maids are allowed to attend?”I shook my head. “Yes, but I think I won't go. Other than I don't have clothes to wear, I don't think that it's fit for me to socialize with other people that, in their eyes,
Loraine's PovTonight would be the night that the ball would start. However, before that, Aaron had visited me while Anna was doing my make-over.I glanced at him and raised my brows while letting Anna put lipstick on me.“What are you doing here?” I communicated with him using a mind-link.He smiled and answered, “I came here to fetch you.”I frowned. “I don't want to appear with you.”Hearing this, he couldn't help but frown and his eyes darkened. “Why not?”I gave him a look. “Do you want my reputation to be tarnished even more? Are you pretending to be oblivious of the rumors circulating about me?”“I told you that you shouldn't worry about that. If you're worried, I will give you an order that anyone who speak to you will face some consequences.” He coldly said with his brows pressed together.I gritted my teeth and looked at him in annoyance. “It seems that you really don't understand anything. I think it would be better for you to appear with your fiancée instead of me. Otherwi
Loraine's PovI glanced at Klein who was holding a wine glass, twirling it in his hands and, from time to time, he would sip on it while watching the events with amusement. However, I know that it was just a disguise.Upon sensing me looking at him, his gaze landed on me and he wiggled his brows.I smiled at him, and then swiftly excused myself from the ball. They didn't notice that I had left either, and besides, when I went there to see, all I could see was their contempt for them, some of them just looked at me nonchalantly, some minded their own business, and the others were clearly looking at me like I was a clown.But it didn't matter much anyway. It is a good thing too, since the more they wanted to leave me out of the event, the more that they wouldn't notice that I had just left.After I left the event along with Klein, who drank the wine in a big gulp, then threw the glass right after, he lowered his necktie and started walking along with me.“The child?” I asked.Klein smil
Loraine's PovI walked towards Shun and bent my knees. I raised my head and patted his head.“You don't have to beg, we will do everything to save your brother, to save all of you.” I calmly said despite the tremors in my voice.I glanced at Klein and nodded my head at him.I looked at the children who were looking at us with innocence and their eyes were filled with confusion despite the doubts earlier.So innocent. Too naive.What if we were just pretending to save them? Would they easily believe it too?I couldn't help but feel pain upon seeing them look at us with innocence, with hope, despite that they have suffered enough to leave a trauma on every part of their bodies.I bit my lower lip and suppressed my anger. I tried my best to soften my voice because I didn't want to frighten them.I gave them a warm smile as I softly said to them. “Can you follow this big brother?” I asked while pointing to Klein who was standing and added, “heWill take you out.”They looked at me with in
Loraine's Pov“You're here.” I calmly said while looking in a certain direction. I chuckled and said with a tease. “I thought that you would only return once we announced my wedding with Aaron?”Kavier, who had now grown a beard and his features became even more prominent and matured, his wheat color made him look masculine, rolled his eyes and walked towards my direction, then sat down on the chair.“It's a bit shocking that your big dog isn't clinging to you?” Kavier sneered and added, “I've heard that ever since you woke up, he would always follow you and would bring you along wherever he goes?”I chuckled as I handed him the tea I had brewed. “Yeah, I was also taken back too, but I could guess that he was up to something behind my back.”Kavier rolled his eyes at me and took a sip of the tea. “Do you feel like you're being restrained by him? Especially that he is too protective and possessive when it comes to you? Who knows one day you will find it annoying. I would be delighted i
THIRD PERSON'S POVNow that the two kids know how to read the room, especially upon seeing their father's restless emotions towards their mother, as if he couldn't wait to talk to her, so after they expressed how they missed her very much and how much they loved her, they gave their parents a space to talk and be honest with each other.Loraine found himself sitting in Aaron's lap while he was facing her back to him. She watched as those arms wrapped tightly around her waist as he buried his face in her neck.“Are you fine now? There's really nothing going on with your body that you aren't telling me, hm?” He softly asked.Loraine smiled and shook her head as she leaned her body on him. “No, I'm really fine now. After those long “rests”, I am fully healed and, other than feeling numb and being uncomfortable walking or standing, nothing else hurts now.”Aaron pursed his lips and closed his eyes as he exhaled her scent as if he couldn't get over it. He held her tightly and was trying to
Loraine's PovAlthough I was hesitant at first, I nodded my head and let Aaron carry me, taking me to our home. I... I never imagined that I would have a child and those children are still alive despite the fact that the shaman had kicked my belly that time so hard, trying to kill my children.I thought that they were already... I shook my head and stopped thinking about those messy thoughts. What's important right now is that knowing that they are healthy, and although I gave birth to them through the cesarean method while I was in a coma, it was a good thing to know that I managed to bring them back alive.“What are you thinking?” He asked as he walked me down to our home, entering the newly built villa that he built for us.“You really didn't build this villa for your little mistress, right?” I jokingly asked while raising my brows, looking at him, who had a serious expression, but his aura was gentler.Although he looked fatigued and seemed to be lacking sleep, he was still vigoro
Loraine's PovI was woken up by the constant growl of my stomach and the quenching thirst of my throat. I slowly opened my eyes and couldn't help but frown as I squinted my eyes, slowly adjusting to the light that had hit my face.I glanced outside the window and saw that winter had already passed. Just how long did I remain unconscious?“Oh? You're finally awake.”I slowly move my head, which is stiff from probably lying on the bed in the same position. I don't know how long I was asleep, but I guess that it took long enough for my body to become rigid.“How long...” I paused and was taken back at how hoarse my voice was, as if its saliva had dried off.Nathan sighed and poured water into the glass, and then gave it to me.I took it and, without hesitation, I gulped the water down to its last drop, then handed it to him again.“More?”I nodded my head, and he gave me a bottle of water and I took it and drank it again until the bottle was empty before I sighed in relief.I looked at h
Third Person's PovThe doctor, Nathan, was about to pack himself to go back to his hometown, when the door of his room had burst out, making him panic as he looked in that direction.He thought that he was under-attacked by the enemies, but the person who had attacked his door was none other than the Alpha King.Yet, upon seeing the Alpha King's expression and the heavy aura around him, he felt that it would be better to be attacked by the enemies instead.“A-Alpha...”Before he could finish his words, his eyes happened to fall at the person that the Alpha King was gently carrying.Upon seeing those familiar faces, his eyes deepened as he became serious. He looked at the Alpha King with a frown.“What happened to her? How could she become like this?! Didn't you promise to protect her?!” Nathan's fear had vanished instantly upon seeing Loraine's condition.He couldn't help but glare at the Alpha King instead, and the Alpha King didn't get angry when he got scolded.Instead, he stood st
Third Person's PovBefore the shaman could get her chance to come back, Loraine, who saw through her petty tricks, sneered as she grabbed the shaman's neck using her hands, choking her tightly as if she would snap necks of hers.Loraine coldly gazed at her and sneered. “You're too weak. The thing that made you strong was only your manipulative tactics and those petty tricks of yours.”The shaman, with her face slowly turning purple, glared at her with a hateful gaze and, despite that she was having a hard time breathing, she spoke with the corner of her lips raised.“So what? I managed to kill your parents... besides... cough...” she couldn't finish her words when the moment she mentioned Loraine's parents, Loraine had tightened the grip around the shaman's neck, making the shaman's eyes redden as she turned purple.Yet, when Loraine was about to snap the shaman's neck, the shaman's hands were, in fact, holding something and when she pressed it, a white smoke appeared to jolt both of
Third Person's PovA woman's painful scream could be heard inside the basement and echoed her voice. Blood had fallen down from her body and dripped down on the ground, soiling the candles that served as lights for them.She couldn't move her body even though she wasn't being chained or tied down. Blooded tears had wetted her cheeks as she let out a painful scream as he watched Penelope who was stabbing her with a knife from her shoulders and her ankles.Her body had lost its strength. Her head was throbbing. She gritted her teeth and tried hard to remain conscious.“It's really amazing that you had the same ability as your mother.” the shaman grinned as she kept on stabbing her whenever her wounds healed. “However, let's see which one of us will give up. Your healing ability or me.”After she said that, she laughed out loud while stabbing her again, again, and again.Loraine couldn't even count nor remember how many times she had been stabbed.She didn't know if the shaman was doing
Third Person's Pov“Loraine!”Both Aaron and Kavier shouted her name when they saw her being hit by an arrow in her shoulder.Before they could run in her direction, Loraine was suddenly swallowed by the ground, making it impossible for them to catch up with her.Aaron's gaze darkened as his knuckles turned red. “Damn it!”Kavier gritted his teeth and his eyes revealed anxiousness and worries. He looked at Aaron and said, “Go on and find your mate! I'm sure that you can find her since you two have connections to each other! I'll take care of this shits here!”Hearing this, Aaron wasn't polite as he turned his back and ran towards a certain direction where his gut was telling him to go.His body exudes such a heavy murderous aura as if he would kill anyone right now if they dared to stop him—well, he would.His heart was churning with anger as he desperately tried to contact Loraine through their mind-link while feeling her bond. He knows that Loraine won't be able to get away from him
Third Person's PovLoraine took a deep breath and endured the nausea feeling. She looked at Aaron who exuded such a heavy aura and couldn't help but sigh.“Stop it, Aaron. I know that he didn't mean it. After all, he knows the Shaman since she was a friend of my parents but who was expecting the Shaman to be the one who manipulated this entire fight.” Loraine said as she tried to brush off the uncomfortable feeling that washed over her body and stood up.Kavier pursed his lips. He was still feeling guilty for what he had done. If it happened that he really killed Loraine, he would also kill himself. But if that happened, he didn't know how to face his parents and Loraine's parents when he had sworn to them that he would protect her and leave her to him.Yet, he almost killed Loraine.On the other hand, Aaron took a deep breath and closed his eyes, trying to suppress the anger in his heart. Then he looked at Loraine with worry.“Are you okay now? Did that Shaman do something to you?” H
