I haven't even had the chance to meet Miss Brenda when Rex continues to drag me out of Grey's house. I don't know why he's so furious, maybe it's just because I hugged a guy, I wonder. "Rex, you're hurting me," I say, but no matter how many times I repeat that sentence, he seems to be deaf to it. He keeps dragging me until we reach his car parked not far from Grey's house. He forcefully pushes me into the car and slams the door shut, causing me to close my eyes in pain. He doesn't ease up during the drive either; he's focused on the road ahead. No matter how much I try to talk to him and ask for an explanation, Rex is determined not to answer. Finally, we arrive at our house. I see Aunt Anna, busy with some papers in her hands, looking surprised as Rex slams the car door shut."Hey, what's going on here?" Aunt Anna asks, looking at Rex's angry expression. He doesn't even answer his own mother's question, just walks up the stairs to the second floor. Aunt Anna then turns her attention
I put my bike in its proper place. I don't know why, but I'm feeling exceptionally lazy to go to school today. What's more, my argument with Rex still hasn't been resolved. It's been two days, and he's been ignoring me. It's like he's pretending I don't exist. It's frustrating to see that only his body is growing; his mind is still that of a child.My steps come to a halt as I hear a commotion from the parking area. Of course, it's Grey's friends, showing off their fancy cars as usual. However, that's not what catches my attention. Megan is casually sitting on Grey's lap. I immediately avert my gaze. I don't want to look for too long. It's better for me to head to class.Oh, and another thing—I still haven't heard from Jeni. In fact, I haven't even seen her for the past two days. Coincidentally, we have a class together today. I need to talk to her, I think to myself. I walk along the school corridor, searching for the classroom where I'm supposed to be studying. The atmosphere is rel
"Are you really planning to follow me all day?" I asked as Gray continued to match my steps, currently walking along the school corridor. Gray was indeed following me through two classes I was taking, without even taking a break."Like I said, I'm taking the same classes you are. I'm serious," he replied, and for some reason, he sounded incredibly annoying."At least handle it properly first and let Miss Brenda know. Don't make me the reason you don't want to go to your own class," I said without stopping my pace."Don't worry, I promise not to mention your name if I get into trouble. I'll handle it myself," he answered, making me stare at him for a moment."But this time I'm going to the club room. I don't have classes anymore, and I intend to practice with Maudy and the others," I said again, hoping to stop his ridiculous behavior, but it was in vain because he showed no fear at all."I'll be swimming," and this time, it was me who stopped and looked at him with raised eyebrows."Co
Of course, I would decline his invitation. I didn't want the previous incident to repeat itself between us."You can call your friends like I suggested earlier, and you've seen, I've been in the water for too long. So, I need to rest and head home," I said, about to turn back. However, Gray suddenly pulled me quite strongly, and due to my reflexes, I unintentionally pushed him. I was sure he wouldn't be pushed easily, but for some reason, his body was actually pulled backward, and unfortunately, at that moment, Gray had already grabbed my arm, causing both of us to fall into the pool. I immediately tried to balance myself and resurface, and Gray did the same, but he seemed to find it amusing, laughing heartily, while I was roughly wiping my face."What are you doing? I told you I needed to rest," I said, slightly irritated by his forceful actions. However, just as Gray was about to respond, Maudy and the others had finished changing."What are you doing? You didn't intend to swim in y
Once again, the pain strikes, and even worse, I'm experiencing this pain right in front of Aurel. I have no idea what she's thinking about me now. Thankfully, I managed to keep my composure, as any change in front of her would surely frighten her. I hope Aurel is okay. I then attempt to steady my heavy breathing.As it happened before, the signs of my transformation are returning. I observe my hand turning into a half-Wolf form, and just as I imagined, it only lasts a few minutes before I revert back to my own body, still feeling the pain. But that's not the only thing on my mind right now; my thoughts are fixated on Aurel. I fear she might distance herself further, maybe even come to hate me. As these thoughts cross my mind, Brenda approaches me."Are you going through it again?" Brenda asks. We're currently in the Neutral dimension, so I simply nod."Yes, just like before. It only lasts for a few moments before I return to my original form," I reply, trying to close my eyes briefly
I don't know what possessed me at that moment, I was completely out of my mind when suddenly my hand pulled the jacket Gray was wearing. It felt like my hand moved on its own, following the words in my mind, and without much thought, I pressed my lips against Gray's. I could feel his body tense for a moment, he must have been shocked by my sudden actions. Even before the terrifying events ahead of me, I had resisted and been angry at him, but this time, I was the one doing the opposite.I didn't care anymore if Gray might get angry at me in return. What I wanted to do now was calm myself down. The kiss I gave Gray was purely out of curiosity, driven by my anxiety and worry when Gray suddenly disappeared in front of me.I could sense Gray responding to the kiss I initiated. His warm hand touched my nape and pressed it, deepening our kiss. His other hand pulled me by the waist, pulling me closer to his warm body. I didn't even feel the cold wind around us; all I felt was the heat boilin
I was genuinely surprised. I even stood up from my seat and looked at Aurel. This time, it wasn't just about my resurrection that I wanted to find out from the woman in front of me, but also about who she really was. She wasn't affected by my power to erase memories. She was completely immune to it. I immediately tried to hold her hand, believing that if she was truly human, I would be able to sense her blood flowing. I'd feel the fragility of her body. However, at this moment, Aurel's scent was so captivating, drawing me closer to her. I was now convinced that this resurrection had to do with Aurel, and what else could it mean?"Do you remember everything?" I asked to confirm, making Aurel nod."Yes, I remember everything. I remember the look of pain on your face. I remember how you disappeared suddenly in front of me," Aurel replied, making me even more certain that my power had no effect on her whatsoever."Do you want to try something?" I asked again, making Aurel fall silent befo
I gazed at Aurel, who was peacefully sleeping next to me on my bed. She looked so enthusiastic hearing my story about our clan, even though I didn't explicitly mention that we were werewolves. She was so eager that she even fell asleep, resembling a child listening to a fairy tale. Slowly, I withdrew my hand, which had been her pillow. I didn't want to disturb her sleep. I gently caressed her face, causing her to snuggle even closer to my chest. It was becoming increasingly difficult to control myself, especially with her tempting scent.I then directed my gaze to the crook of her neck, inhaling her scent deeply. Reluctantly, I got up from the bed. I needed to meet Rex immediately; there were many questions I needed to ask the half-human, half-wolf being."Meet me in the Neutral Dimension," I sent a packlink message to Rex before disappearing, leaving Aurel behind. I had placed protective regnum shields around our home to ensure her safety. After a few minutes, Rex arrived in the Neut
Gray continued to gaze at Aurel, who had been unconscious for nearly two days. Despite having her examined by a doctor, Gray remained restless until he was sure that Aurel would awaken."Do we need to call a healer from Wentira?" Brenda asked, but Gray shook his head."I don't want to deal with Wentira for now, even though I'm certain that Alpha King is aware of the chaos I caused in Plantea. I just want you to find another way," Gray replied, prompting Brenda to glance at Rex, who was equally concerned about Aurel's condition."The doctor said Aurel was exhausted," Brenda explained."Exhausted to the point of being unconscious for two days?" Gray questioned, prompting Brenda to sigh deeply."In that case, you better rest too during this week. You've been expending your powers aimlessly. After that, you can ensure Aurel's well-being," Brenda advised, and Gray nodded. She then took Rex out of the room, leaving Gray to do whatever he wished with his mate.Gray extended his hand, gently
They immediately turned to look at Vlad, who was now among them."Good job, Vlad. Have you already obtained your Mate?" Erebus asked, making Vlad look at him with a flat expression."Yes, I've found her, but I have no intention of eliminating her," Vlad replied, causing Erebus to gaze at him questioningly."Don't tell me you're tempted again by a face that resembles Luna's. You should have eliminated her because that woman is the one who hurt you," Erebus taunted, making Vlad visibly angry."Stop your nonsense. You only instructed me to keep her away from that wolf, and I've done just that. So, stop pressuring me because I owe you nothing, and I'm not your lackey," Vlad retorted, then turned his gaze towards Gray."And as for you, you're a pathetic mate who can't even protect your own partner," Vlad said, deliberately provoking Gray's emotions."You damn vampire really can only boast and say foolish things. Don't you know who you're dealing with?" Gray responded. Without further ado,
Vlad immediately halted his steps as he approached the castle, even though he hadn't entered his own castle yet. He could already sense that the scent of Aurel was no longer in the vicinity, causing him to quickly rush inside. He opened the door to Aurel's previously occupied room, only to find it empty. Similarly, there was no trace of Loma's aroma in his castle. Vlad growled in frustration, clenching his fists and tightening his jaw."Damn siren really took Aurel away," Vlad muttered to himself before resuming his search. If they had recently left, it meant they were still within the Naighthell territory. Vlad couldn't afford to let Aurel slip away after the grave mistake he had made before.Vlad still hesitated to meet Aurel face to face, fearing that she would be scared and hate him. That's why Vlad had been trying to make Aurel accustomed to living in the castle with him before he decided to confront her. However, before his plan could come to fruition, Loma had already spirited
"Damn, why do they have to look for me?" Loma muttered as she continued to run through the corridors of Vlad's castle. Earlier, Loma had made sure Vlad had left the castle to meet Erebus, so this was her chance to escape. Loma didn't want to break her promise to Vlad, but her condition forced her to leave. She couldn't continue to be trapped in Vlad's place with her diminishing powers.A while ago, Loma received word that a group of people was searching for her in the Plantae territory. Luckily, she got the message in time and didn't go to meet Sherman. Loma then stopped in front of the door to Aurel's new room. If she left here, it meant she had to leave the human. Loma thought about it but came up with an idea that might benefit her.Consider it payment for taking care of Aurel all this time, and maybe bringing Aurel with her could be an advantage. So, Loma finally opened the door, revealing Aurel, who was working on a canvas she had given him earlier."Are you painting?" Loma asked
POV Gray"I've found it," Lilith said, causing me to immediately turn and look in her direction. Without waiting any longer, I approached her and asked for an explanation."Tell me," I said. After almost four days of patiently waiting, Lilith had finally returned from the Ocean territory with good news."Have you found out who's been using the Siren poison?" This time it was Brenda who asked."Yes, over the past few weeks, there's only been one person who appeared to be using that poison, and it's the Siren who was previously expelled from the Ocean," Lilith replied, making me raise an eyebrow as I looked at her."Don't tell me they're a fugitive Siren?" I asked, making Lilith raise her eyebrows in response."Yes, call it whatever you want, but the good news is, I know who it is," Lilith answered."In that case, tell me. I don't want to waste any time. I need to find Aurel," I said, my impatience clear as it had been over a week since I couldn't reach my mate, driving me nearly insane
**Aurel's Point of View**I jolted as once again the door to the room opened without warning, revealing Loma carrying food for me."I think I'm gaining weight if you keep bringing me food," I said, causing Loma to shrug nonchalantly."Just eat while you still can eat peacefully," Loma replied as I took the food and looked at her with a raised eyebrow."What do you mean?" I asked."Nothing, just... forget it. Didn't you say you wanted to move out of this room?" Loma asked, making me stop and nod enthusiastically."Yes. Did someone allow me to move from this room?" I asked, seeking confirmation, making Loma nod."Yes, you're lucky because maybe he's in a good mood. He allowed me to take you to a room that's not too spacious but probably more comfortable," Loma answered, making me smile."Does the new room have a window, at least? Let me breathe some fresh air. I've lost track of how long I've been trapped here, maybe a week, two weeks. I can't see the sun, the moon, or anything. I might
Erebus looked disapprovingly at the man in front of him with a crystal glass containing a red liquid which was his favorite food "where did you get it?" Erebus asked, making Vlad immediately lift the crystal glass "Why do I like it so much?" said Vlad again, staring at the blood"You prey on humans, I'm sure it's not animal blood?" Erebus asked again making Vlad nod his head "Yes, you guessed right, this is very sweet human blood, it's rare for me to be able to eat this much," he said again, making Erebus immediately look at him with a questioning look."Did you go to the human world and make a mess there?" Erebus asked making Vlad just shrug his shoulders indifferently "What do you mean, I'm not the one who wants it, the human himself is crazy about me and is willing for you to give his blood voluntarily. I can't refuse, isn't that too good to miss?" said Vlad who then took a sip of the blood in the glass. Meanwhile, Erebus just silent while watching him"Then what do you want to
Loma opened the large door in front of her and stared at a man who was standing with his back to her, paying attention to a painting that he didn't know how long he had been staring at. "How long are you going to hold him?" Loma asked, making the man still not budge"It hasn't even been a week yet but he's already whining to go home he's worried about his family" Loma said again making the man finally respond, he immediately turned to look at loma who looked at him with a questioning look "You can hold it in longer, right?" He said, making Loma just roll her eyes lazily"Detain him and give unreasonable reasons. You even put him in the basement," Loma said again "That's a special dungeon that's not like a prison dungeon, I even provide good facilities for you because I'm sure he as a human needs other needs unlike us" he said making Loma again not know how to think"Yes, that's why. Because he's human, he needs something else. Not only cooped up in that stuffy room. I, who have bee
Pov Brenda It's been more than three days when Aurel suddenly disappeared, making Gray really look messy and not only that even Rex looks the same, the two of them are constantly looking for Aurel's whereabouts, I settled on Rex who had been still trying to contact Aurel's cellphone even though I said it was useless because whoever brought Aura at this time they would have gotten rid of his cellphone. Again the curses that came out of Rex's mouth made me finally come closer "I told you there was no point in calling Aurel's cell phone," I said, which made Rex immediately look at me in annoyance "I hope if there is good news that I can get in case he just turned off his cell phone" Rex replied making me finally sit next to him I stroked his arm making Rex continue to focus on his cell phone, I don't know how many messages he has sent on Aurel's cell phone not active "We've tried, we'll wait for news from Thunder and Simon," I said "Then I also have to move" Said Rex who was about to
