DAHLIA:
“N-Naskan… Stop this please,” I begged him.
If he marks me right now, wouldn’t that activate my husband’s mark? Wouldn’t he sense that I am with someone else other than him?
Frankly, I’m not sure, but even if my husband won’t find me with the use of our mating mark, there was also one more problem…
I’m with child!
I pushed him away, but Naskan’s muscles were too big and too firm. “Please!”
“Why,” he said, his voice sounding muffled against my skin. “Why can’t you remember me, Dahlly?... I wished I had lost my memory instead… Then we could start all over again much more easily.”
I frowned. What was Naskan saying? How can I start all over with him if he lost his memories?
“Naskan, even if that happened, I will still have a husband, so starting something with you isn’t possible, hmm…”
Perhaps, it’s the frustration of wanting someone but not being able to have them that’s taking over him right now.

SAMALAH:Blast it, Tristan! How could he say those things to me?I was the only one who was there by his side from the very beginning. I was his only friend and lover… How could he betray me that easily?I walked back to camp and saw Dahlia’s back, sleeping in her cot.I really wanted to kill this slut as soon as possible! Even without her memories, she kept on seducing my Tristan! I should dispose of her as soon as I can.I fingered the dagger I kept hidden in the folds of my skirt. Blast this snake! May bitches like her never see the light of another day!“Samalah,” Dahlia uttered as she turned towards me. I had to let go of the blade I was planning to sink in her flesh just now. “I’m so sorry you had to see that… Are you alright?” Damn it! This fool was always lucky. Why did she have to turn around just before I could slash her veins wide open?“Sleep some more,
TRISTAN: I was surprised by her sudden rejection of our fated mate bond that I was not able to act or say anything at all. Dahlia seemed prepared though. She used this time to repeat her words. “I, Dahlia, am rejecting you, Naskan Olrich. I am rejecting you as my mate. Please free me from this bond, and find your new mate from now on…” Of course that did not work. First, because Dahlia did not say her last name, and second, I was not really Naskan… I wanted to laugh out loud if it wasn’t for the fact that the bitter sting of rejection was hurting my heart so damn hard! “Do you really mean it? Do you want to reject me that badly?!” I shook Dahlly, who was still taken aback by surprise since nothing had happened. “Damn it, don’t you know how hard it has been to keep everything together inside me this long? Do you know how worried I had been for you every single day that we were apart?” My hands were shaking as I c
TRISTAN:F*ck these rogues! How the hell did they find us?“Hold on tight,” at roared to Dahlia on my back. She must probably still be surprised for she said nothing although her grip against my neck had tightened.Was this Samalah’s doing? I made sure I stayed close to Dahlia as much as I could to mask her scent, but since two of us were now both Shadow wolves, the masking magic I used must not have been enough…As expected, the rogues will have a hard time following us, but those flying skeletal dragons won’t!I swerved away from one just in time as its bony talons swooped down from a nearby tree.The flying thing was average in size, possibly just around the size of a baobab tree. However, its wingspan was several meters in length.I can’t even imagine how it was flying with just its bones, but I guess the glowing spirit stone placed in its heart would answer for that.“W-What is th
DAHLIA:‘Naskan, no,’ I called over my head as the great black wolf suddenly sunk into the ground beneath me.I had just done a surreal feat, and my heart was still feeling the adrenaline rush that took over as I attacked the flying creature that hovered above us. As such, I failed to notice Naskan’s weakening body until he finally lost consciousness.Thankfully, the ground beneath us was sandy, so I was not hurt with the fall. I crouched down to Naskan’s wolf form, feeling for a pulse.I clung at his neck. His pulse was far too weak. The arrows that were shot at him must have been poisoned!“No… Naskan, wake up,” I mumbled.We fought near the river, and I ended up rejecting him. The rejection did not work, thank the Goddess, but it was too late. I saw in his eyes how deeply hurt he was back then… I thought he would never speak to me again for as long as he lived!And yet, in a heartbe
DAHLIA:“Albus… Will you show yourself to me?”As soon as I whispered these words, Naskan’s wolf was enveloped by a dark violet light that seemed to come from his forehead. I peered at it, and I was able to see an oval rune stone appear at the center of his head.Once the dark light had finished covering his body, it revealed an all-white wolf as massive as the dark one whom he came to replace.So it really was true! Naskan had two wolves inside of him!Then, he must really be a Shadow wolf too, just like I was.‘Hey, Eva, how come Naskan did not tell me about this,’ I asked my wolf inside my head again.There was nothing but silence.‘Um… Eva?’The connection between us was broken once more. I wanted to cry.Just then, the white wolf in my lap began to stir.I smoothed the snowy white fur covering his neck. It felt as soft as the black wolf’s fu
**Warning: This chapter contains scenes that are sexual in nature, which are suitable for readers 18 years old and above.**DAHLIA:“Dahlly… Can we make love tonight?”I half knew Naskan would say it. He had always chased me from the start, and in this exact moment when only the stars, the moon, and the fireflies were our witnesses, no one could possibly stop him from wanting to mate with me…I couldn’t speak out of nervousness. A part of me wanted to make love to Naskan, but a part of me was afraid for my baby. He slipped a hand against my belly. He was caressing it in a very protective manner.“Don’t worry… I’ll be gentle,” he whispered in a husky voice against my ear.It was hot, far too hot for the both of us. Despite being in the water, my body was burning in delirious desire, the want to be needed, the carnal want to be worshipped…He fondled at
KAIST:I sat in reverie at my study, watching the afternoon sky turn into a darker shade as night quickly settled in, and I sigh.It has been weeks seen I had seen Dahlia. The last time we spoke was through a letter. She informed me she was staying at her university dormitory for some time. I dismissed it, thinking that she was staying there for a few days to get a grasp of her study, but when the days turned into weeks, I got the feeling things may not have been turning good for her and her marriage…So two days ago, I finally went to visit her at the dorm, and to my surprise, the dorm administrator informed me that Countess Abell went back home and took a trip with her husband.I scratched my head. I thought Dahlly and that brat were having a rough patch in their marriage. Did I just miss my timing?I knew someday Dahlly would open her eyes and realize that he was not really her mate. I was still looking for ways to reveal those wolf&rsquo
KAIST: I was a child, but my young mind was able to process what happened so far. My mother must have been a Shadow Rune wolf… Why else would she have a spirit stone? And that child, Dahlia, the one whom Duke Jeteris always took with him in the palace, was given my mother’s spirit stone. I couldn’t imagine how that could happen back then, but I knew that Dahlia was in trouble… I didn’t know what happened next. I was sure I was staying very quiet under my father’s table. Maybe I had accidentally touched his boot, which caused him to retract his feet a little bit and peer at me from underneath. Our eyes met. I remained frozen on the spot. He then started to speak. “We won’t be able to stop it all will… A weed, when left unattended, will surely become a bother.” He was talking about Dahlia, right?... “Then what do you propose I do? Do you want me to extract it from her? You know what the repercussions might be,” the
