The reason why she wanted to spend one week's alone time alone with her husband was to have a sweet and romantic moment with him on the farm. She wanted to fill the whole week with their laughter and romantic escapades, but the opposite happened.

Her husband is slowly distancing himself from her. There must be a big reason why he's changing before her very eyes.

She's eager to find out why.

After mulling over her depressing situation, Luna Viviana went to the bathroom to start her day.

As usual, she ate breakfast alone at the dining table while Grandpa Eliezer was out there tending to his plants and animals. After she finished eating her meal, she washed the dirty dishes, tidied the kitchen and finally left the house, heading to the place where the old man was busy spending his time.

She found him feeding the chickens inside the poultry shade. "Good morning, Grandpa!" she said cheerfully.

"Morning." Grandpa Eliezer smiled. "Have you had breakfast already?"

"Yup," she responded with a

    The door opened, and Grandpa Eliezer stepped outside. "Son, you're finally back," he commented casually."Yup. Where are you going, Pops?" he asked."Go to the lake to check on your wife. She's been there since the morning. She was upset because when she woke up in the morning you were already gone," Grandpa Eliezer explained. "You seemed to have forgotten that you had a wife waiting for you here," he said wryly.Alpha Callum sighed, scratching his head, feeling guilty. "I'll go there to check on her," he replied."Go ahead then. I have to remind you that she was pissed, so avoid worsening the situation with her," Grandpa Eliezer warned him."Got it, Pops. I'm going there now," Alpha Callum replied and turned around, walking on the path leading to the lake.After walking for a few minutes, he finally arrived at the lake and saw his wife sitting on the picnic blanket, staring blankly at the majestic mountains looming in the distance. "Sorry I'm late," he apologized as he approached her

    Seven days later.On Sunday morning, Alpha Callum and Luna Viviana can be seen loading their bags into the vehicle.The couple bid farewell to Grandpa Eliezer."Grandpa, thank you for taking good care of me. And thank you so much for fertility medicine. I can already feel its good effect on my body," Luna Viviana said gratefully."Don't mention it," Grandpa Eliezer replied, smiling. "I hope you had a good time on your one-week vacation here at the farm, dear," he said sincerely.Luna Viviana smiled brightly and said, "I did! My husband has been great to me the whole week. I hope he will stay that way for me forever. Thank you for everything, Grandpa.""Alright, Pops, we're going now," Alpha Callum said, then slid into the driver's seat, starting the engine of the vehicle."Drive safely, son. Take care, guys," Grandpa Eliezer said, waving his hand.Luan Viviana waved goodbye to Grandpa Eliezer as their vehicle was moving away from the farm house.A few moments later, Grandpa Eliezer co

    A month later.One rainy evening. Clarice had just finished donning her pajamas. She sat on the bed, preparing to sleep for the night, when Alpha Callum materialized inside her room.She smiled brightly. "Babe, you came. I thought you wouldn't come today," she said.Alpha Callum has been busy with Alpha duties so he wasn't able to visit Clarice for the last five days and his wife is making sure he can't leave the room.He was only able to leave the house tonight because his wife was attending a bachelorette party for her friend. She will sleep at her friend's house. It was an all-girls' party, so he was not invited."I will spend the whole night with you today," he said huskily."Why did your jealous, obsessed wife allow you to leave tonight?" she asked curiously."She attended a bachelorette party, and she will sleep at her friend's house tonight," he explained."That's good," Clarice giggled. "Have you had dinner already?""Yes, awhile ago in the house," he answered."OK," she said

    Clarice fell silent, pondering his question."What's wrong?" he asked worriedly.Clarice sighed. She was thinking about how her relationship with Callum would end; tragedy or everlasting happiness?"What's the matter, babe?" he asked, searching deeply into her eyes."Um, did you already make up your mind to cheat on your wife? Once we start having sex right now, things will never be the same again. We will keep doing this behind your wife's back and sooner or later, she will know," she said, taking a deep breath. "Now the question is, what is really your plan for us and our son?" she asked, wanting to hear his plan for their relationship.He breathed deeply. "I don't know. I have no definite plan yet."Clarice's hopes sank. Her heart was filled with sadness. "You can't leave your wife? Divorce her for me and your son. Is that hard for you to do?" she asked, bracing for his answer.He fell silent for a moment. "I would like to do it, but...but..."Clarice's forehead furrowed. "But what

    The following day, Clarice woke up at 5:30. Everyone in the house was still sleeping, including Callum, snoring softly beside her on the bed.She looked at his face adoringly. Her heart was bursting with love for him. Last night, they didn't make love because she turned emotional and destroyed the mood between them.She felt guilty that she had failed to give him the pleasure he craved.At the beginning of their reconciliation, she was trying to be patient and understanding of being the other woman, but it didn't last long. She can't pretend no more. She got impatient. She needs to know where she stands in their relationship.She bore him a son, and she is his fated mate. Therefore, she has more value compared to his wife. Luna Viviana must give way to her, not the other way around. Unfortunately, Luna Viviana is not an understanding woman. She will kill anyone who steals her husband.As the days go by, she is getting paranoid. Despite what her former best friend did to her, stealing

    They finally arrived at the Mulberry Mall at 2:30 p.m. George parked the tinted window vehicle inside the spacious parking lot of the mall.Grandpa Eliezer smiled brightly. "Hello city, hello mall! I'm back after a long time not seeing you. I miss you so much," he joked.They laughed at the comical way Grandpa uttered his greetings to the city and the mall.They are now preparing to leave the vehicle."I'm going to stay here in the car," George said."No way! You come with us. Let's go together, exploring the mall together," Clarice insisted."Yup, you should come with us!" Grandpa agreed."Please come with us, George. The more, the merrier," Lorey chimed in.George scratched his head shyly. "Okay, I'll carry the bags," he said, grinning."Alright, let's go!" Clarice said in a voice brimming with excitement.They walked to the entrance of the mall and began their exploration of the mall. They started on the first floor, quickly piling up their shopping carts with groceries and other h

    The next day, Clarice woke up early because she knew that Grandpa would also wake up early in the morning.She found him outside the house, tending to the goats. "Good morning, Grandpa," she greeted him with a bright smile."Morning, dear," he replied with a nod of his head. "Why are you up early? Do you have coffee already? How about breakfast?" he asked, petting the goat in front of him."I already had coffee in the kitchen before coming here. Lorey is busy with breakfast preparation," she replied, lowering herself to the wooden chair under the shade of the tree."Do you want to ask me something?" he asked. "Say it. I'm listening."Clarice took a deep breath. "Regarding what happened in the mall yesterday when you made Aurelia and the shaman stumble on the escalator. How did you do it? Did you use some kind of magic?" she asked curiously.Grandpa stopped feeding the goat and looked at her. "Yeah, I have magician blood embedded in my veins. It's a gift from my mother's side.

"Great so far.""I bought your favorite apple pie with cheddar and soda for your afternoon snack," he said, handing the present to her."Wow, delicious!"

    Magnus smiled and broke the awkward silence. “We were elated to finally meet the Supreme Punisher. Rest assured that we will give our very best to our jobs, and we will not abuse our power and position,” he assured her quickly.“Thank you, Magnus. I’m glad to meet you all. Together we will work hand in hand to preserve peace and unity for the welfare of all peace-loving creatures on this planet,” Clarice responded, her words laced with wisdom.“Yeah. Peace for all," Magnus agreed. "This moment calls for a celebration,” he added cheerily, clapping his hands, his gaze glued on the masked woman who deeply aroused his curiosity.The door opened. Women, wearing black attire, arrived, holding silver trays in their hands. The women put the wine glass filled with red liquid on the table. After finishing the task, the women left the room quietly.“Everyone, let’s drink this high-quality blood taken from teenage human boys and girls,” Magnus said, picking up his glass, and raising it.

    The following day, the women are well rested, having breakfast in the kitchen, discussing their planned activity in the evening.“So, tonight, I finally get to meet Magnus and the staff?” Clarice asked, while eating apples.“Yeah. Unless something comes up again,” Demetria jokes.“I’m sure nothing will happen tonight, am I right?” Clarice asked.Demetria observed her student’s face. “Why? Are you scared of meeting other vampires?"“Yeah, honestly, I’m feeling anxious right now. I don’t know why,” Clarice said, dropping another slice of apple into her mouth.“You have killed humans before. I thought you had already been toughened by such an experience. And don't forget, you are more powerful than any vampire alive today, so no need to feel anxious,” Demetria said.“Humans have no power, but vampires are a different breed, and I’m not really used to fighting and dealing with difficult problems yet. That is why I’m a bit apprehensive that Magnus and the others will see through my facade,

    If they are the police authorities, then she will allow them to pass. If they are one of the enemies, then she will freeze them until the police arrive.When Clarice was already hovering above the speedboats and coast guard vessels, she knew Martha’s team had finally arrived. She saw her, the only female among the men. Martha was looking despondent and anxious. She's probably worried about her missing niece.While she was staring at Martha, she was wondering if she would work with her to help her and her team in chasing the bad guys once Demetria leaves. She realized that human cops are too few compared to the millions of people they have to watch.A cop's job is to protect people, preserve peace and order in society and arrest bad people. Just their numbers are not enough to do the job. That is why Demetria's contribution is valuable to the police force.Now, she is wondering if she will continue Demetria’s legacy, helping police locate the most notorious and baddest villains hiding

    Demetria smirked. “Relax, boys. No need to bring out the spray. We will come with you to the basement to attend the party. I hope it’s fun,” she said calmly.The men looked at each other in amusement.“You know what? You are enthusiastic and brave. I like your attitude, saving us the hassle of forcing you to come,” Dave said, grinning wickedly.Demetria shrugged. “We’re already here. There is nothing we can do but move forward. We have come this far. I’m hoping the party is enjoyable so we don’t regret our actions,” she said, pretending she’s not aware of what’s going to happen next.Clarice cleared her throat. “Guys, I just want to ask this. After the party, can we still leave this island alive?” she asked innocently.The men looked at each other and laughed maniacally, finding the question silly. The men are now openly displaying the evil side they were trying to hide at the start of their meeting.“That depends,” Oscar replied cryptically.Demetria stood up. “Can we leave Rachel he

    "We will only stay here for a few hours, trying to find clues. If we can't find anything worth pursuing then we will leave and try another establishment," Demetria finally said."I agree with that," Clarice responded with a nod.After one hour of waiting, the women finally entered the club. The club was crowded and the women didn't like the chaotic atmosphere inside the club."I hate clubs like this. So crowded, so noisy and people are everywhere, suffocating me. The music is too loud. I think my eardrums will explode.'' Clarice groaned in dismay."Me too," Demetria agreed. "Let's wander around and find clues," she added.The women ordered drinks, danced on the dancefloor and socialized with others, pretending they enjoyed the crowd and the music but their eyes were always on the lookout for anything and anyone suspicious.The evening was getting deeper, nothing had happened, frustrating the girls.Surprisingly, no one attempted to flirt with the women or tried to invite them to leave

    Five months later.Clarice had a serious conversation with Demetria in the living room early in the morning."Dear, tell me. Are you ready now to be left alone on your own?" Demetria asked."Why?" Clarice's brows furrowed, feeling apprehensive."You are doing well in your training. It's about time I disappeared. I will leave next month. But before I left, I promised Martha I would help her and her team. They are currently facing difficulties locating the leaders of the illegal underground syndicates terrorizing the city. I will help them before I disappear," Demetria said calmly.Clarice felt sad. She was so used to having Demetria by her side that she felt lonely once her mentor leave."OK. I understand. I will accompany you on your missions. It's now time to put my training into action," she said excitedly."Good. Let's do it together then," Demetria smiled. "But before that let's discuss the Midnight Wanderers Vampire Association. Because tonight I plan to bring you to headquarters

    “Are you shocked to see yourself inside the glass coffin? You look like twins!” Demetria said, smiling in amusement.Clarice couldn't believe she had finally met her doppelganger, but unfortunately, she was lying inside the coffin. "I was shocked indeed! This is unbelievable!” She admitted, astounded.Demetria said, “Are you curious what she has done to deserve this?”"Yes please. Tell me,” Clarice replied with intense curiosity flashing in her eyes.Demetria begins her narration. “Number 3 loves studying medicine and plans to become a chemist. But she created a deadly virus and tested it on a small human village, wiping out the entire population. No one survives."“That’s horrible! What kind of virus?” Clarice asked, shocked.“No one really knows what kind of virus it is, but according to the elders' investigations, it was airborne. She released the virus in the air during the daytime and this lady refused to reveal what kind of virus she had made in her home laboratory. She hid her

    When Clarice landed back in the house on the sacred mountain, Demetria was waiting for her in the living room. She expected she would be scolded because it was the first time she had been out of the sacred house and visited her family without permission from her mentor.“Where have you been, dear?” Demetria asked, observing her face closely.She cleared her throat and explained, “Um, I tested my power and teleported to visit my family. Are you angry that I left without permission?” She asked apprehensively.To his surprise, Demetria shrugged her shoulders, uncaring. No sign of anger on her face.“Not at all, dear. Now that you are practicing your powers, I know you will be visiting your family soon. And that is exactly what happened. I can’t stop you, so no big deal. You can do anything you want. Whatever it is, I will support you,” Demetria replied calmly.She smiled in relief. “Thank you for not being mad at me.”“So, how’s everyone back home?” Demetria asked. “Did Viviana succeed i
