Kayla's POV"Ugh..."As I struggled to open my eyes, attempting to break free from the endless darkness, the first thing I heard was a deep male voice."Don't move!"My mind hadn't fully cleared, but for some reason, I instinctively obeyed the command in that voice.The person seemed satisfied with my reaction. He gently guided me back onto the bed and continued speaking."Now you know how to listen to me. I told you not to do anything risky. Why pretend not to hear?"I didn't respond to the person. Instead, I reached out, groping to catch hold of the person's sleeve and tentatively called out his name."Harrison?!""It's me." Harrison's tone still carried a subtle undertone of anger, but he continued to hold my hand in his palm.Feeling the warmth of Harrison's hand, I asked him with a trembling voice."Why can't I see you?""...,"Harrison's silence immediately made my heart tense.Countless frightening thoughts flooded into my mind simultaneously. I grabbed onto Harrison's arm as i
Kayla's POVHarrison's enticing voice sent shivers down my body. Although my surroundings remained pitch black, I could sense Harrison's intense gaze on me, attempting to pierce through my body."Are you afraid, Kayla?" Harrison lifted my face with his warm hands. "When you can't see my every move?""No, Harrison."I held his hand and pressed his palm against my lips. Originally, I just wanted to leave a kiss on his palm, but when my lips felt the warmth of his palm, I changed my mind. Instead, I extended my tongue, licking his palm.Harrison almost instantly withdrew his hand."For you, I'll never feel afraid."Harrison's voice became husky. "So, you had better change your mind now, Kayla.""Why?""Because you started all of this... naughty girl."Suddenly, Harrison grabbed my waist, pulling my body down.I couldn't help but let out a scream. Soon after, I felt a warm breath surrounding the area above my cheeks—that was Harrison's breath."I like you like this... lying quietly on the
Harrison's POVAfter the physician swore to the Moon Goddess that Kayla would be safe, the first thing I did was dial Peter's number."Elizabeth is in your hands, isn't she?"Though phrased as a question, my tone left no room for doubt.Peter evidently sensed the icy anger in my voice. He slowed his speech, attempting to appeal to my reason and composure."Yes, Harrison. I've confined her to a secret location, but I'm sorry, I can't hand her over to you right now. However, you can rest assured that once I get the information I need, I won't let her off easily!""In fact, I'm not reassured, Peter. I must see her, and it has to be now!"This was the first time I had so ruthlessly refused Peter.Clearly shocked by my resolute attitude, Peter remained silent for a moment."Will this become a problem between us, Peter?""Of course not, Harrison."Faced with my assertive stance, Peter had no choice but to make his concessions."Tell me your location, and I'll send my trusted subordinate to
Harrison's POV"How do you know about my father?"With a stern face, I approached Elizabeth step by step, questioning her.Elizabeth tilted her face up, staring into my eyes. "Do you want to know the answer?"Before I could respond, suddenly, she grinned, her eyes filled with contempt and mockery. She yelled at me, "Suck my ass then! The great Dominator! You..."As I noticed the vile smile on Elizabeth's face, I immediately reached out, grabbing her throat and silencing the insults she hadn't yet uttered."Don't try to challenge my patience in this way, Elizabeth."I brought my face close to hers, allowing this crazed woman to witness the burning anger in my eyes."I'm not Peter; I don't crave information about you and your sewer rat. So, if you provoke me—especially when you've already done so—be careful. I will kill you."Even Peter, standing by my side, became tense because of my actions."Harrison!"Feeling the genuine intent to kill emanating from me, Peter shouted my name, seemi
Harrison's POVAs if to prove the authenticity of the report to Peter, the moment his words fell, a sudden and intense explosion echoed from outside. Even in the underground basement, we could feel a significant shock.Dust rained down from the ceiling, creating a swirling cloud of smoke.I immediately covered my nose and mouth with my clothing, while an enraged Peter grabbed the collar of the man who had delivered the message, demanding, "What the hell is happening outside?!""The patrolling warriors found the bodies of several sentries at the perimeter of the estate! Their bodies were still warm, so we realized someone had broken in. The team leader immediately called me in to report to you... just now, it's possible that they started attacking us!""Damn it!"Peter abruptly released the man, frustratedly pacing in circles before issuing orders."Take that woman with us. We're leaving this place!""Yes!"Upon receiving the order, the subordinates quickly untied Elizabeth and, despit
Nathan's POV"Hey, mongrel, how's your marksmanship?" As I found a good vantage point, wiping my sniper rifle, a cheeky male voice came from behind.My hands paused for a moment, without turning around, I calmly responded, "Accurate enough to shoot down those who have no idea how to write the word 'respect.'""Ohhh—" With my counterattack, the crowd behind me erupted into cheers. "Looks like our little mixed-blood has some character! Sebastian, are you scared?!""Me? As a legitimate member of The Blue Blood Pack, I don't even know how to spell the word 'fear' in my entire life!" Sure enough, Sebastian immediately raised his fighting spirit. He strode over to me, kicking away my sniper rifle."Why bother doing the servant's job of cleaning guns?! All I know is you're a mongrel, but I didn't expect you to be a cowardly one! What? You want to fight me now?! Huh?!" Sebastian noticed my clenched fists, crouched down with interest, and continued to provoke me."I won't fight you, Sebastian.
Nathan's POV"Alright, now do as I said!" As my words were uttered, the surrounding crowd immediately dispersed like a tidal wave.I, accompanied by a few warriors, located cover closest to the entrance of the estate, concealing ourselves."Now, what should we do, Targary?"The young warrior beside me seemed inexperienced in combat, and I could even sense a hint of panic on his green face."Wait for me here. I'll go take care of those patrolling guards.""But you're alone..."The young warrior seemed uneasy, but I didn't have time to explain. I rushed toward the patrolling guards who hadn't realized the danger yet."Watch out, someone's coming!"At the moment the dagger pierced the guard's neck, I silenced his remaining warning in his throat.I threw the lifeless body aside and decided to take a look at the situation inside the entrance, which wasn't far from me."Look out!"However, at that moment, a voice from behind me shouted. I turned around to see the young warrior pointing a gu
Harrison's POVAs the gunshots echoed not far away, my instincts told me that it must be related to that crazy woman, Elizabeth.Initially, I wanted to be a bystander, but the regret of not clarifying the connection between Targary and The Blue Blood Pack gnawed at me. With a sense of urgency, I turned in the direction of gunfire."Damn it! That woman can't die yet!"Little did I know that in this forest, I wasn't the only one with that thought. Peter, who was fleeing in a different direction from me, also heard the gunshot.Besides him, the members of The Blue Blood Pack, tasked with rescuing Elizabeth, were on the move as well.From the perspective of the Moon Goddess, Peter, Sebastian, and his teammates, along with me, were swiftly converging on the location where Elizabeth had fallen.Meanwhile, Nathan Barnes, the instigator of all this, stood frozen next to the corpse, immersed in prolonged silence.When I finally reached the spot where the gunshot had rung out, I saw a man in ca
