“Keir!”

The tense lines on my face relaxed immediately. I instantly pushed him inside the room and closed the door behind us. I sighed in relief when the sound of the approaching footsteps faded gradually. Resting my forehead against Keir’s chest, I mumbled in a low and breathy voice, “Thank God! I found you. I- I-”

I couldn’t say anymore. I didn’t even realise that I was resting my head on his chest until his hand gently touched the back of my head. All the sounds disappeared and his steady heartbeat calmed me down.

After a little pause, Keir asked in a low and gentle voice, “What is wrong? Why do you look so scared?”

Without looking up, I mumbled briefly, “Why did you leave me alone in the hall? I was looking for you everywhere.”

Keir’s familiar scent and his warmth worked like magic. In a few seconds, the inner torment and fear of Lucas both faded away from my mind. I slowly looked up, taking a step back from him.

Keir spoke in an odd yet gentle tone, “S-sorry. I shouldn’t have lef

    (POV of Keir Allen Walker)“Hello?”I received the call and Lucy’s annoyed voice echoed from the other side. She sounded quite angry as she asked impatiently, “Where are you, Keir? I have been waiting for you for the last 2 hours. When are you going to come?”Sighing secretly, I answered briefly, “I was stuck at work.”“Exactly, how long will it take you to arrive here? Everyone is waiting for you and you are giving me excuses now. Really?” Lucy complained furiously.I had no energy left to deal with her. She always used to give me a headache. It wasn’t easy to handle her personality. Surprisingly, my Lycan didn’t like her aura at all though she was my fated mate and we were engaged for the last five years.Lucy was my childhood sweetheart and we spent a lot of time together. I didn’t know why my Lycan still reacted like that. Was our relationship always bitter like this?

    (POV of Keir Walker, In the dinner party of the Diamond Resort)“Brother!”Lucy said softly as her sharp eyes narrowed slightly, “Keir is just too busy. Otherwise, he always calls me and tries to talk.”Though her soft voice sounded confident, Lucas didn’t look convinced. His cold gaze scanned me swiftly as his cold and calm face relaxed a bit with an affectionate grin. I answered, looking up, “It seems that Lucas still enjoys being sarcastic.”Chuckling softly, Lucas greeted Alpha Kenneth as he took the seat next to Lady Rosemond. While sipping from the glass of his wine, he answered, “Sarcasm! My sister is going crazy for you, Keir. Shouldn’t you take better care of her?”“It is just work pressure. I hope that you are already aware of our sale’s condition. If I don’t work hard, how will I take care of your sister in the future?” I asked, raising my brows. The tension between us was so intense that everyone felt it.However, Lucy wrapped her arm around mine as she interrupted both of

Why is it so dark h-’I mumbled in a dry voice. The next second, I recalled everything.I unlocked the door of my house and I instantly felt the presence of outsiders. I was ready to attack but Asher’s scream distracted me. I heard his loud and sudden cry, and I ran to his bedroom immediately. Surprising me, a short but bulky guy was standing there whose half face was covered with a black mask. He was holding Asher from behind, and his clawed hand was aimed at his tiny throat.“Stop where you are, Miss,” The intruder ordered sharply.Though I was glaring at him, he looked fearless and powerful. Instinctively, my eyes shifted on Asher’s teary and scared face. I asked, taking a step back, “Who are you? What do you want from me?”The guy signed me to kneel as he answered briefly, “You.

    ‘Damn! I shouldn’t be here.’I mumbled nervously while twisting the rose in my hand. It was almost late at night. When I received the note from Keir, I decided not to meet him. I didn’t want to disobey Eden. However, after dinner, I thought of taking a walk and instinctively, I found myself in front of the rose garden.The night felt colder than usual. While wrapping my arms around me, I scanned my surroundings. The faint, sweet fragrance of the roses intoxicated the air around me. The soft and cold breezes of the late night were playing through them, making a wild, rustling sound. There wasn’t any guard around me; neither any sign of Keir.Standing in front of the garden, I waited for a few seconds while enjoying the cool breezes, ‘Mmh! I better go back to my room and finish my novel.’ I murmured in a low whisper as I turned in the direction of my bedroom.Instantly, I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder, followed by a husky and magnetic voice, “Didn’t you like the pendant, M’lady?”“K

    “Stop! Stop here.”I suggested in a low whisper, checking my surroundings. Keir instantly stopped the bike, near the Starfall forest. The Red Light village was just at the end of the forest. Both Keir and I were wearing black cloaks to hide ourselves.Scanning the place, Keir asked, “We still didn’t reach the village. Why did you ask me to stop here?”Getting down from the bike, I answered while fixing my cloak, “We will walk from here, Mr. It is safe to hide the bike here so that we can find it in an emergency.” Chuckling softly, Keir followed me. I was walking through the narrow and muddy path of the village when he spoke again from behind, closing the distance between us, “Emergency? What kind of emergency, M’lady?”Without looking back, I directly took the main path to the village fair. The village looked very ordinary but not poor. The houses were mostly two-storeyed and colourfully decorated. On the balconies of the majority of houses, beautiful and tempting women in revealing

    DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!”The crowd was cheering in chorus as we entered the vast hall of Paradise. Every inch of the hall was filled with gamblers. The reddish and bright lights of the hall made it look more intriguing. The strong scent of alcohol and thick smoke were lingering in the air.Weaving our path through the drunk and excited crowd when we walked forward, we noticed numerous tables of pokers. On a vast table in the middle of the room, a middle aged guy was standing and striping his clothes, one by one. He looked embarrassed but the crowd was cheering excitedly.I could see the back of the winner who was sitting lazily while counting his gold bars. The man in his undergarments asked in a low and trembling voice, on the verge of crying, “I have given everything that I had with me- my car, my gold chain, key of my house, my cards, all my money and even my clothes. Now let me go, Sir.”The healthy and bald guy stopped counting as he looked up and answered in his gruff and taunting

    “Let’s begin!”The staff of Paradise declared excitedly, distributing the cards between two fine gentlemen with an extremely dominating and powerful aura. Both of them were standing out in the crowds of the drunkard as they were sitting lazily in their place. I preferred to stand behind to avoid unnecessary attention but Keir pulled me next to him, “Stay next to me. I don’t want you to get lost in the crowd, My wealth.”I asked, frowning my brows a bit, “Your wealth? Really?”Keir chuckled softly as he teased me, suddenly pulling my chair closer to his, “Yes, really. You are the most precious one to me right now. I am betting you to win of course.”Rolling my eyes, I only mumbled in a threatening tone, “Don’t think that I will let you slip easily for your audacity.”My reaction seemed to amuse him. He smiled benignly as if dealing with a temperamental child, “I don’t even want to be slipped out of your thoughts, Firefly. Now be quiet and witness my skill.”However, I couldn’t really

    I was so dumbfounded with astonishment and rage that I forgot to react at first.Only then I realised the reason why Eden asked me to stay away from that guy. He wouldn’t really put me in danger because he was the danger himself.I was searching anxiously for the meaning behind the words.Noticing my blank and panicked expression, Keir’s smile widened as he assured me in his magnetic and gentle voice, “Stop worrying, Firefly. Can’t you just rely on me? I will not let anything happen to you.”“Rely on this situation? I shouldn’t have brought you here. Damn it!” I replied in a small frightened voice. Panic was rioting within me. I was thinking of all the possibilities of getting caught. The brightest one among them was of me being the exclusive angel of the Red Light Village or getting auctioned as a royal slave.The host returned to us as he just repeated the Owner’s message. However, Lucas and Keir stood up from their seats and Lucas spoke first, “If the match is not happening, there

    “I am in!”I promptly agreed to his proposal with dazzling determination.Without giving him the chance to get ready, I dashed towards him to attack. But, Keir was faster than I expected. He dodged easily as he commented, still with that mysterious grin, “Oh! You look quite impatient, Firefly.”Though I was charging him with full force constantly, he looked at ease as if it was a child’s play for him. His sword was moving gracefully, blocking all my attacks. Keir didn’t even attack me. All his moves were defensive but I started to feel exhausted after a few minutes. Seeing the beads of sweat glistening on my brow, Keir smirked and taunted with playful disdain, “I haven’t even begun, and you’re already tired. What a shame!”Suppressing the weight of my fatigue, I straightened my posture and retorted with defiant arrogance, “Who told you I’m tired? I won’t rest until I’ve brought you to your knees, Royal Prince.”“Try harder then, Firefly! I would love to be defeated by you.”But in th

    (POV of Young Eliza Claire Gold)(Night Walker Clan House, Verena)“Mmh!”The golden rays of the sun streamed gently through the open window, casting a radiant glow that momentarily blinded me as I opened my sleepy eyes. I found myself again in that familiar and cosy bedroom. Thin curtains were dancing in the soft and cold breezes of the morning. Tossing and turning for a few more minutes, I got down from the bed at last. The dawn was enchanting, with the amber-hued sun shimmering brilliantly, painting the world in its warm embrace.It was around 6 O'clock in the morning.The melodious chirping of birds filled the air as I stepped outside of the room, my footsteps light and cautious. A breathtaking scene unfolded before me. In the meadow, a little distance away, Keir and Kyrell were engaged in a mesmerizing sword fight. Their movements were a flawless blend of grace and precision, a dance of strength and skill. They were too engrossed in their training to notice me. Beads of sweat gl

    “Eat more! You are a wolf not a bird.”Keir taunted me while serving me more meat. I was already full after eating so much. It seemed like Keir preferred meat a lot. Majority of the dishes were made of meat along with a few bowls of salad and fruits. While eating, I didn’t really get the chance to talk anymore. It seemed like he was quite hungry after a long day. So, we both focused on the food. However, Keir was still paying attention to me.After finishing my food, I was about to leave the dining table when Keir stated, “Wait! I have asked to make some dessert for you.”I asked in a surprised tone, “Do you like sweets? I didn’t know.”“I don’t like sweets but I thought that you would like it,” Keir answered while munching the last piece of his sausage. Keir signed the old lady who was in charge of the kitchen to serve it. They actually made three types of desserts. There was chocolate brownie, pudding and jello.

    “That’s rubbish!”Kyrell protested promptly, looking up from his burger. He continued, snickering at Keir, “Since Childhood, this guy has been stealing my food and forcing my food to share with him. Still, our love is only decreasing.”Shrugging his shoulders, Keir answered casually while unbuttoning his coat, “I am not liking this version of you that much. I wish you were still that cry baby and drooling all the time while following me.”“Ahh! Shut up!”Kyrell demanded in an irritated tone, “How did you come here? I thought that you had an important meeting to handle.”While stretching his long arms, Keir answered casually, “I have finished that already. What do you think of me?” Turning to me, Keir asked, “Have you bought everything you needed?”“Hmm,” I nodded, “I think that I have bought more than I needed.”Leaning closer, he picked up my half-empty Boba tea as he inquired playfully, “Did you have fun? Do you wanna eat anything else? Wanna go somewhere else? I am free for the who

    “Eliza, are you awake?”I woke up from a loud knock at the door. Blinking sleepily, I asked in a muffled voice, “Mmh! Who is it?”It took me a few seconds to recall where I was and why that bedroom wasn’t looking that familiar to me. When I looked at the door, Sasha was standing there. She was dressed casually but she was looking prettier than usual after putting on slight makeup and tying her hair neatly in a ponytail.I asked in a puzzled tone, looking in her direction, “Now, I am awake. Do you need to tell me anything urgently?”Sasha dashed into the room with a gloomy face as she asked while fixing her hair, “Eliza, I am going to meet your brother in an hour. Do you want to tell him anything?”“Yeah!”I paused for a moment as I mumbled, hesitating for a bit, “Yes, tell him that I am sorry. I caused him so much trouble. I really wanna call him and talk but-”“But? Is he an angry guy? Will he scold you if you call him now?” Sasha asked anxiously. I corrected her hastily, “No, no! I

    “I am so sleepy but I still didn’t get any news of Eden.”After Sasha left, Kyrell came to visit me in the evening. It seemed like Kyrell was investigating the kidnapping incident so he talked with me about it only while asking tons of questions.However, when I asked him about Eden, Kyrell’s face became darker. He only answered, forcing a tiny smile on his lips, “Princess Eliza, don’t worry about Prince Eden. Brother talked with him already.”I asked promptly, “Can I return home tomorrow?”Sighing briefly, Kyrell answered, “You have to stay here for a few more days. We will send you back the moment everything is sought out.”“What needs to be sought out?” I asked impatiently.But, Kyrell already stood up from the sofa. Smiling politely at me, he replied, “Pardon me, I can’t really tell you much at this moment. Please rest well.”Then, he just left without even waiting for my answer as if he was running away from me.~~~Yawning sleepily, I walked out of the bed to the balcony. I was

    ‘Darkness!’I was running through a dark and never ending passage. I had no idea where I was but I wanted to get out of that place. I could feel a suffocating sensation, choking my throat. A thin white mist was circling around me, making my vision blurry.‘Don’t touch me! Keep your hands away from me!’I started, yelling as I felt the disgusting touches of cold hands all over me. Those hands were wandering on my body aimlessly like numerous snakes crawling over me. I started running faster but there was no way out from that darkness.Soon, I noticed pairs of burning eyes, chasing after me. I gasped in fear, realising a shiver of panic. I kept on running for hours but there wasn’t a single ray of light. The darkness was drowning me, those cold and disgusting touches were making me nauseated. I gave up at last. I was alone, alone in that eternal abyss of darkness. My anguish was almost overcoming my control. I could hear the panting of those huge Lycans who were standing, circling aroun
