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
Kayla's POV"What?! Say that again?!!" Although my vision was gradually recovering, everything before me was still blurry. So, when I heard the dreadful news from Amber, I nearly rolled off the bed as I abruptly sat up."You just said, Harrison, what happened to Harrison?""Don't get too worked up, Kayla."Amber anxiously pushed me back onto the bed, "If Harrison sees you like this, he'll only worry more about you!""I don't care!!" I pushed away Amber's hand, struggling as if mad, trying to leave the room immediately."I want to see Harrison! Let me see him!! Ah—" In my excitement, I didn't notice a small stool at my feet and tripped, falling to the floor."Careful! Kayla!!" Amber hurried over, reaching out to help me up. However, she didn't realize that, facing her as she crouched down in front of me, I, tormented in both body and mind, had already reached the brink of collapse.So, I grabbed her arm, directly diving into her embrace, bursting into tears."Kayla, I know how painful
Kayla's POVSoon after getting the doctor's permission, I was finally able to visit Harrison in his hospital room."Harrison..."As I walked to the door of the room, even though all I could see was a blurry figure, the thought of Harrison lying so quietly on the hospital bed made tears almost uncontrollably stream down my face."You've been standing at the door for so long. Were you waiting for me to come and greet you?"Harrison's light tone immediately eased the atmosphere. However, it couldn't stop my tears and sorrow. For this reason, he didn't hesitate to make a joke with me."I'm sorry, my dear. I can't get out of bed right now, so I'll have to let you take the initiative to jump into my arms.""Oh, Harrison!"I shrugged off the hand of the nurse who was helping me and ran in the direction of his voice without any regard.At this moment, even if there was an abyss between Harrison and me, I would leap forward without hesitation for this man."Don't cry for me, Kayla."Harrison c
Kayla's POV"I think we can get back to the original topic now."As Harrison's hand traveled down my shoulder, I slipped out of his embrace and pushed away from his chest."Fine."Though Harrison's movements came to a halt, I could sense the undercurrent of dissatisfaction in his tone. He released me, straightened his clothes that he had disheveled, and sat down by the edge of his bed, supporting himself with one hand."What do you want to tell me, Kayla?""It's about The Blue Blood Pack..."Thinking about this group that had almost become adversaries with Amber and Harrison, I silently apologized to Nathan before continuing."Actually, among the known members of The Blue Blood Pack, besides Elizabeth, there's another person—""Nathan Barnes."Harrison cut in before I could finish, answering casually, "Am I right?"I widened my eyes in surprise. "How did you know?!""I had this suspicion from the beginning."Harrison turned his head, seemingly giving me a glance. "After all, every tim
Nathan's POV"Worthless!"I knelt in silence on the floor of the hall, listening to the furious reprimand echoing from above by the Alpha."Such a good opportunity, and you couldn't kill Harrison Morris?""Because...""That's enough!!"Klaus's scepter fell heavily on the floor, producing a dull sound that reverberated in the spacious hall, cutting off the explanation I hadn't had a chance to voice."Only a worthless person would make excuses for their failure! Tell me, Nathan, are you worthless?! You are the Targary I chose. Could you really be a worthless person?!""Of course not, Alpha."I pressed my forehead against the floor, adopting a posture of repentance. Yet, the corner of my eye was scrutinizing Klaus's white snow fox fur boots, moving in my direction."It was indeed my mistake. I didn't anticipate that Harrison Morris would show up at the place where Elizabeth was being held, leading to the death of our team members.""Death?"Klaus's footsteps came to a halt. He leaned on
