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
Third Person’s PovAfter dealing with the Alpha King, Aaron, Loraine lets out a heavy sigh in irritation and in anger, especially when she remembers their conversation earlier. She was still pissed that he had suggested to her being his mistress until he finished his business and dealing with his fiancée.What kind of jerk is he? Who does he think he is for him to say that?Does he think that, just because he is my mate, she would immediately accept what he wanted her to do? Including being his mistress?She couldn’t help but grit her teeth and huff in anger. Even her inner wolf was angered by the words that he had left earlier. He had better not let her see his face again or else Loraine would kick his ass.“Damn it.” Loraine couldn’t count how many times she had cursed ever since she had met the Alpha King.When she was with her parents… or more like when she was a child up until when Aaron waged a war with her pack before, Loraine didn’t know how to curse, or more like her environm
Third Person’s PovLoraine pretended to just have awoken from her sleep. She yawned and let her voice sound hoarse while looking in the direction of her door where the head maid and her fellow maid just wanted to see her make a fool of herself.Loraine looked surprised at the sudden intrusion of the head maid. Upon meeting their eyes, Loraine stood up and climbed off her bed, standing in front of the head maid.“I’m sorry, I have been sleeping…” Loraine guiltily said while lowering her head, making the head maid dispel her doubts that Loraine went out earlier when they were too busy trying to find the person who bore the similar mark to the Alpha King.Besides, she must have been hallucinating earlier since she really saw Loraine go out, but upon seeing Loraine right now, her doubts were dispelled, especially because Loraine really seemed to be sleeping since there were red traces on her left cheek that she had been sleeping this afternoon. Her hair was like a bird's nest and her voic
Third Person’s PovOn the other hand, Pauline was extremely suspicious of the Alpha King. Although they weren’t close to each other- or more like the Alpha King doesn’t want to get closer to her, Pauline could confidently say that there is no other woman in the Alpha King’s life. But now, it was especially different that the Alpha King had received a mark on his body, indicating that he had a mate.‘Did he already find his mate?’ Pauline asked herself while gritting her teeth from anger.Pauline stood up in front of her mirror, immediately walking towards to the chamber where the Alpha King’s grandmother was currently resting.She should tell the Alpha King’s grandmother about this. Since she can’t directly follow or send some spies towards the Alpha King to confirm her suspicion, especially that the Alpha King would immediately find out about it, and the fact that the Alpha King doesn’t like her very much, she needs to ask for the Alpha King’s grandma.Before Pauline could enter the
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
