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
Nathan's POVKlaus's voice aged and desolate as he spoke of his eldest son. It even led me to believe that this cold-blooded and ruthless Alpha still retained a shred of humanity. But in the next moment, his enraged tone instantly shattered the illusion of warmth he had briefly displayed."So, Nathan, do you now realize what you missed this time? It's not just an opportunity to eliminate obstacles completely! This is a perfect chance for revenge! That man caused the death of your brother!!"Klaus, with a heavy heart, pounded his cane, making a resounding echo against the unyielding ground before me. However, I lowered my head further, attempting to conceal the smirk and resentment that I couldn't hide.Brother? How laughable—We are sons of Klaus, yet why could Michael live in The Blue Blood Pack's territory, learning the arts of combat and leadership from an early age, groomed as the heir, while I was sent away with servants to live a miserable life in another country?For over two d
Nathan's POVAfter the footsteps outside the dungeon had completely faded away, I struggled to stand up from the ground, angrily shouting at Sebastian."What the hell do you think you're doing?"Sebastian, sitting on the ground, at first looked puzzled. When he finally realized my anger, frustration appeared on his face, and he raised his voice."What do I think I'm doing? I'm trying to f.ucking save you, can't you see?""Save me?"This answer left me even more confused and perplexed. I snorted, staring into Sebastian's ice-blue eyes, and asked in return."Open your eyes and see where we are, Sebastian! This is a dungeon!! Your so-called saving me has led me to this place?""I—"Sebastian looked at me with anger, suddenly raising his sturdy arm—whether he intended to explain something to me or engage in a fight, I couldn't tell. Just as I was ready to strike, a cold wind rushed in through a small window at the top of the dungeon. The sudden drop in temperature made Sebastian shiver, a
