“Are we really going to Mommy’s home?” Hailey asked.“The very same place that’s more racist and bully-prone than here?” Helix followed.“Where did you learn those two words, young man?” Kora had to ask back. “But yes, we are. And this path leads to the place. The Werewolf Kingdom.”When I made the
“Of course I do. But he’s busy, and something happened at the debate. I don’t get grownup stuff, but I do know he can’t run from that. He needs to try to face it. All we will do is get in his way if we stay. We need to go without him.”“No! I want Daddy here with us!”“Hailey, just stop!” I shouted,
“Are we there yet, Auntie Kora?” Hailey asked, lying down on Kora’s back, who was in her wolf form for her to ride on.“Not quite yet. I did warn you it will take a while to get there,” Kora answered.“Are you two okay there? Do you need to stretch your legs or use the bathroom?” I asked the kids. “
“Don’t worry, Helix. Everything will be just fine,” I assured him.Helix didn’t say anything in response. However, going by the look he had on his face, he did not believe my claim.The sound of an engine reached my ears, causing me to freeze in my tracks, as did Kora.“Hm? What’s wrong?” Hailey ask
Hailey flopped on the bed, letting out a moan as she cuddled in the blankets. “Mmmm~! Soft bed and warm blankets~! It’s been so long~!”Unlike his sister, Helix just sat on the bed normally. Like her, though, he relished himself in the warmth and comfort only a bed can provide. “Ah, this feeling… Sl
As soon as I silently closed the door shut, Lorelei suddenly hugged me tight, much to my surprise.“Do you have any idea how worried I was?” I heard her ask, her voice a little shaky. “I really feared for the worst when I saw you gone from that cage.”I widened my eyes at those words, now realizing
Drake’s POVIf anyone was to ask me if I was feeling nervous, the answer would be ‘no’. No, I was not feeling nervous. No, I am not feeling fidgety over seeing Nex again after so long. No, I was not shocked to see her with kids, who bear some resemblance to my half-brother.But of course, like any p
And so, after replacing the advisors and sending away some of the more dangerous criminal werewolves we had locked up in the dungeon, it has been nothing but peaceful in the kingdom. Sometimes Garon would come to make surprise visits, but so far, it was all just small talk; nothing that seemed dange
“Nex… I have something to confess to you,” he said, raising more of my confusion, which then turned to fear. Did something happen while I was away for two years? Beowulf licked his lips for a moment, moisturizing them with his saliva, before continuing to speak. “I… In these past two years, I couldn
Nex’s POVWith the interrogation done, Helio and I made our way back to Beowulf and Helix, holding hands as we walked. The questions weren’t so difficult; just asking about how I was treated, what was Helio’s connection with the mafia and his life there, and what our connection was. All I was worrie
“If you can believe that, then yes.” I grew even more lost by the response, in which she seemed to have noticed. “Beowulf, a lot has happened in this kingdom while we were gone. One of them being Drake and Garon’s… relationship. So to say.”“How do you mean?” I questioned.“Well… They’re close, you
Nex’s POVI wasn’t sure what happened or why… One moment, Zeke appeared with Helix in his hold, threatening to take his life. The next we knew, he killed Raiha, and gave her as much comfort as he could in her passing. “Mom!” I was snapped out of my stupor upon hearing Helix call for me, as I turned
“Dad is already on his way to Mom, isn’t he? If they see him with me, they will think that mafia leader won. Even the leader will think that, if she is that crazy for revenge. And she will definitely try something horrible to Mom and Dad, without having to worry about what they will do. If he brings
Zeke’s POVHow do I feel about what just happened? About what I just did. I doubt it would be pride; what was there to be prideful about in this situation?I was just standing in the woods, with a gun in my hand, and one of my target in my other hand. One look at the situation before me- of Raiha co
“You already had a destined mate. Only you used him as a tool he wasn’t. Took advantage of his love for you,” I pointed out, causing her to flinch at the reminder. “As if that wasn’t enough, you tried to kill a fellow werewolf just to get what you want. You let your own father- a respectable Alpha-
Beowulf’s POVAfter I briefly met with the captain and told him that I knew where Raiha went, I left the matter of the hideout to him and his team, who arrived not long after we did. At first, he tried to either get me to stay or join me to get Raiha, but I managed to convince him otherwise. Tell hi
At first I wasn’t able to process the words that came out of her mouth. Not with the pain I was experiencing. However, slowly, I caught on to the meaning behind it, and looked up at her. “W-Wait… You promised… you wouldn’t hurt them!” I managed to shout.“Only so long as you be live feed for the bra
