Once again, I wake up without Gray by my side. I remain silent, gathering my senses before attempting to start my morning routine. I exhale a long breath, remembering what we did last night, which immediately prompts me to touch my slightly swollen and warm lips with my fingertips.Even now, in my bed, I can still sense Gray's lingering scent. I exhale my frustration, not knowing what possessed me last night to almost force Gray to attack me like that. I push back the covers, realizing I can't keep daydreaming like this. I need to get ready for school, or Rex will start complaining and whining about my habitual lateness.My bike has been in the repair shop for the past two days, and I have to be picked up by Rex again, which is annoying. For some reason, I'm more comfortable riding my bike without having to hear Rex's morning chatter. I start taking off my clothes one by one and head into the bathroom. The water hitting my body triggers memories of Gray's warm touches all over me. Jus
I immediately smiled upon seeing Maudy in front of me. "Since when did you come in?" I asked, unaware of her arrival. Annoyed, Maudy clicked her tongue before finally sitting down in the chair across from me."It's been a few minutes, I saw you smiling at your phone all by yourself. I guess you're exchanging messages with someone, considering how radiant your face looks," Maudy said, to which I only replied with a smile, refraining from telling her that I was actually exchanging messages with Gray."What's up?" I asked, causing Maudy to glance at the book in front of me momentarily."Are you busy?" she inquired."Yes, I have morning classes. Maybe they'll start in a few minutes, and after that, I have two more classes to attend. Why?" I asked when Maudy suddenly started looking for me."But not just that, I need your help," Maudy said, making me furrow my brows and look at her questioningly."Why do you need my help?" I asked to make sure."We can't talk about it here. What if I wait
As expected, this was incredibly challenging to complete. The books seemed unaffected, as if their number hadn't diminished at all despite the hours we spent organizing them. At this point, I had to muster the courage to climb the ladder to arrange some books on the higher shelves."I'm afraid of slipping from this ladder," I admitted, managing to pick up three books. I didn't dare take too many since these books were heavy and thick."Oh God, protect me," I muttered to myself as I began ascending the first step of the ladder. Technically, the steps weren't very high, but once I stood at the top and looked down, I was certain I wouldn't be able to climb back up if I came down. So, I focused only on the shelf in front of me. On my first attempt, I managed to conquer my fear. I went back to the table, grabbed more books, and pushed the ladder towards the shelf again. Unintentionally, my hand got closer to Ramon, who was still sleeping.I hoped he would just ignore me. Alright, after thi
Finally, after my insistence, Gray agreed to let me sit in the seat next to him. I didn't know what he was thinking when he came up with the idea of driving with me sitting on his lap earlier."Rex?" Gray asked as he resumed driving his car, making sure there wasn't any unpleasant smell he referred to lingering around me."It seems he had something else to attend to. He asked me to go home first," I replied, causing Gray to nod. He then turned to look at me, pushing my hair aside and proceeded to hold my hand, playing with his thumb on my palm. I just smiled. Somehow, Gray's small gestures made me feel happy."Have you eaten?" Gray asked, making me shake my head."Just had a few pieces of bread to fill my stomach when I was at the cafeteria. I didn't even have a chance to eat properly since Maudy dragged me to the library," I answered, making Gray click his tongue in annoyance."Ah, I should have warned her not to drag someone along like that," Gray said, seemingly irritated by Maudy'
I had just put Aurel to sleep when suddenly the door to my room opened, revealing Brenda and Rex standing at the doorway, irritating me immediately."Can't you guys let me rest for a moment?" I said, while looking down at Aurel who was curled up in my arms."Leave Aurel for now. We have to go to the Plantae Territory," Brenda said, causing me to raise an eyebrow at her."Why do I have to go to that forbidden area?" I asked, because I had only been allowed to cross the boundaries of the Neutral dimension so far. Could it be that Brenda had reported something to the king over there?"What did you report to your beloved father over there?" I questioned her."Come on, Gray. We can't just let you continue like this. We need assistance from them," Brenda said, causing me to peel back the blanket covering part of my body. I moved slowly so as not to wake Aurel, who was sleeping soundly."We'll talk outside. I don't want my soulmate to wake up just because of your pointless chatter," I said,
Ramon walked through a forest which was shrouded in darkness, there was no light or other living things that occupied that cursed place except for cursed and wasted creatures, that place was called nighthell, located in the north of wentira course where the Werewolf's territory was. "Did you get something?" Someone asked when Ramon was facing him, Ramon stared at the straight back of the man who had his back turned to him. During these decades he had to be wasted in nighthell and out of his pack because of the great crime he had committed. "Yes" Ramon replied making the man finally turn around, Ramon was still not used to the appearance of the man he should call his uncle. Half of his face was destroyed leaving half of his handsome face but it was all in vain because no matter how many times Ramon met him he was still reluctant to face his uncle for long. He looked enthusiastic when he got news from Ramon "What is it?" Erebus asked "I've found Gray's soulmate" Ramon replied making
I immediately jolted from my sleep when I saw Gray who was stabbed by someone right in the heart made my whole body tremble and cold sweat soaked my whole body until I finally tried to open my eyes “Are you okay? Did you have a bad dream? A familiar voice that made me immediately looked to my side where Gray was looking worriedly, he immediately complained The side of my face that was filled with sweat " youre here? I asked making Gray nod his head "Yes, I continue to be by your side while you sleep. Did you have a bad dream?" Gray asked making me nod my head immediately, I don't know why lately I often dream of things that are outside my head as if I go in and out of another dimension like what Gray often does. "This time, what dream is bothering you?" Asked Gray who really knew if I had a bad dream, I always told every detail of the dream I had and he always calmed me down that it was just a Sleeping Flower but this time it really looked real as if Gray would really disappear in
Gray then brought his face closer to the crook of my neck so I could only close my eyes and inhale Gray's scent that blended with me"You're wrong Aurel. Because for me this is also the first time, I don't know what you've heard out there but I can't do this. If it's not with my soulmate, that's what happens in the werewolf world," Gray said after looking at my sad face. be close to him"Do you believe me?" Gray's question made me finally nod, looks like I should ask him after we're done with what we're going to do, I'm still not sure and there are still many questions I want to ask him "So if I make a mistake and if I hurt you you can push me or hit me in any way so I can stop because I have a little difficulty holding myself back let alone holding Alpha later" Gray said making me nod again again, I don't know why I immediately thought that this time I'll do it with one person who has two souls What does that mean with two different people I thought making Gray smile, looks like he
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
