Loraine’s PovAfter Kavier had left along with Aaron, I felt my legs weakened as I fell on the bed catching my breath in nervousness. I don’t know what has gotten onto me, but I felt that there were some blockages around my lungs that made it hard for me to breathe.I felt my throat and my whole body burning. My vision started to blur, and my head was aching so much that I couldn’t help but frown from the pain. From time to time, a hiss would come out of my mouth, especially when I felt a throb in my head.It hurts so much.I’m thirsty.It’s too hot.There was no one with me who could help me, so I could only grit my teeth and try to stand up to get some water. Maybe if I took a bath, this would get better. However, when I tried to stand up, my whole body became like a limp and ended up falling back onto the bed.I hate this feeling… the feeling of helplessness.I miss mom and dad.My eyes blurred as I felt my cheeks wet. I know that my parents deserve to be free from their shackles a
Loraine’s PovAfter cleaning the attic and seeing that it was all spotless, I let out a sigh of relief as I sat on the floor. I’ve been stuck here since last night and the sun has already set now, yet no one has come to find me or open the attic despite the fact that I had been shouting last night until my throat was sore.I was already hungry, thirsty and tired. I could tell that my fever had worsened because I didn’t get a proper rest and, given that the air in this room is a bit thin, I had a hard time breathing.From time to time, my head would throb and if I stood up, my whole world would turn upside down just like what happened to be earlier when I was about to stand up and try to pry open the door.I didn’t even realize that I had been out for an hour and when I woke up, the sun had already set. It’s not that I doubt that something is wrong with me, since ever since I was a child, never did my parents worry about my health because, unlike other kids who easily get sick, I’ve ne
Loraine’s Pov“W-What are you trying to do? Please let go.” I tried to sound as polite as possible because I didn’t want him to get mad, especially when he’s drunk.I have to calm him down as much as possible. It would also be much better if he wouldn’t harass me and would just let me go. I am honestly drained and tired if I want to pass out, but passing out right here and now, especially because my wrist was grabbed by this drunk man, is dangerous.Who knows what would happen to me if I let down my guard.The drunk man was grinning at me as his thumb caressed my wrist, making a circular motion on it that made me turn green as I couldn’t help but shiver all over. I felt like my stomach churned after he did that.“Beautiful lady, I want to show you something interesting.” After he said that, he dragged me to the blind spot of the forest that was slightly dim because the forest was filled with large trees that slightly blocked the light of the sun.This made me nervous. I don’t know wha
Third Person’s PovThere was a figure of a man that was lying on the branch as the sunlight had hit his pale yet defined structure, sharp nose, and jawline. When he opened his eyes, those green eyes of his had reflected the color of nature.His thick brows furrowed as his eyes landed on the pale woman who was running as if he was being chased by some kind of monster. He could see that the woman was doing her best not to pass out in such a kind of situation. The woman was pale, her body was thin as if she could be blown away by the wind, but despite being thin, she had a strong will to survive, and it wasn’t just that, he could see that she had a strong immune system.Which is also the reason why she can still run right now.The man continued to watch and scrutinize the woman and found out that her face had red, fever or more, like, he could see that she was suffering from feverishness.But the man knows that it wasn’t just an ordinary fever. It was one of the signs of awakening.It se
Loraine’s PovI gritted my teeth and ran away as fast as I could after seeing who it was and what it was. I doubt that he has already found out that I am his mate, his fated half.Shit, shit, shit! I made a mistake. I was too careless! Did he see my face? Of course, he did! After all, he was the one who saved me from drowning in the lake and if it wasn’t for him, I would have already died!However, since it was him who saved me, and he had already recognized me as his mate, I could already tell about my future. The plan where I would stay low and wouldn’t do anything that could make them angry at me to the point of throwing rotten eggs, had already started to fade after seeing the Alpha King’s face, Aaron.Damn it! I used every ounce of my body and ran as fastest as I could in this forest. I couldn't go back to the Monticillio Pack right now, for fear that Aaron was waiting for me there to catch me. Wasn’t it an execution for me if I went there at that moment knowing that Aaron was th
Loraine’s PovIs he out of his mind?! If he’s going to kill me, it is also the same as suicide! If he kills me, he will kill himself too.After all, we are fated mates… though I don’t really like it when both of us are bonded by fate, especially that the one I’m fated to be with is the Alpha King, who had a higher status than I, who comes from a lowly bloodline and, on top of that who in the eyes of the people in the Monticillio Pack, the Alpha King already has a woman whom he loved, which is his fiancée.Damn it. Fate really plays too hard on me.I can’t breathe. He really looks like he’s going to kill me.I gritted my teeth and looked at him in the eyes. Despite that I could hardly breathe, I still spoke. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Let me go!”After I said that, I gathered my strength in my legs and kicked him hard in his hips. When I felt that the hands that wrapped around my neck had loosened, probably due to survival instincts, I didn’t wait for him to completely le
Third-Person PovIn the late night, where the moon shone brightly, there was a woman who was currently resting in the cave, waiting for the moment to get back to the Monticillio early in the morning, trying to slip inside without anyone noticing it.On the other hand, there was also a man who had been waiting for the little white rabbit to fall into his trap. The corners of his lips were raised as his eyes were looking in the direction of the forest while drinking wine leisurely in his room.Loraine had already decided, and she went out of the cave that she was currently resting in and started running back to the Monticillio Pack. Although in her heart, she doesn’t want to go back, but what can she do when Kavier has already made her a slave? Only a hellish fate was waiting for her if she ran away.Besides, she had already tested it last night that she couldn’t run far away from her mate. In other words, she is also bound by this so-called mate, which is why she cannot escape even if
Loraine’s Pov“W-What? H-How did you find me?” I tried to get away from being locked up in his arms, but he was too strong and wouldn’t bulge even a bit.I gritted my teeth and glared at him.“Is this how you treat your mate, hmm? I am also the one who saved you.” He said as he leaned his face closer to my neck and smelled it.I tried to move my face away from him, but he wouldn’t let me do so. Instead, he would also chase after me and playfully tease my neck.I felt his lips brush the skin on my neck and licked it, sending shivers down to my spine.“What are you doing?! Let go of me! This is sexual harassment!” I yelled at him.I know that there is no point in me screaming for him in this alley right now, since it was also a mistake for me to choose a shortcut just to get to the downtown even faster and now that I had chosen the shortcut, it was a narrow path and most of the people here don’t really pass by here.At that time, there were no people who took the shortcut, other than me
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
