After we opened the door, there was a strong smell of color inside. My face turned pale, and Brian and I rushed to Erina's room. The door was unlocked, and the light from the bathroom caught our attention. I ran over and discovered something horrifying.Erina was lying in the bathtub; more accurately, she was lying in a vast pool of blood. She was unconscious, her face pale, her thin pajamas sticking to her body. I hurried to get closer and immediately discovered that there was a knife next to it. Erina's wrist was torn, and blood was pouring out non-stop."Brian, what do we do?" I trembled.Brian is so much calmer than I am; he pats me gently on the shoulder. "Don't worry, and I've already called the doctor; they'll be here soon."I nodded, then quickly wrapped a clean towel around Erina's body as Brian carried her out of the room.The doctor arrived quickly, followed by Harvey."I guess she committed suicide." Brian leaned back against the window, speaking heavily. "Perhaps it's bec
Brian's POV:I walked quietly to the cemetery; my last time here was four years ago. I stood before the old graves, and the sculptural writing above also began to fade.I crouched down, wiping away the dust that had thickened over the years.Feelings of guilt rose in my heart; I began to doubt what I had done. Tomorrow I will become the official Alpha of Blood Ocean, but I wonder if I am worthy of the people's trust. Or the truth, I'm just a lousy guy trying to hide my horror through a cover of perfection.The people before me were all my followers from when I was nothing until I ascended to the heights of glory. Although they are not related by blood, their affection for me is more than that of my siblings. Yet my hand took away their precious lives; even though they were screaming and begging, I still killed them mercilessly.On that stormy night, all that painful cold feeling never went away; this moment seemed to return, clinging to my heart.At that time, I was still a famous war
Kelsey's POV:That night I couldn't sleep at all. Tomorrow is an important day in Brian's life, but he doesn't seem to care about the matter at all. But I'm different; I can't stop worrying. Every time I closed my eyes, I started thinking of wandering. Like tomorrow, is someone giving Brian a hard time? I always have a bad feeling about something, but I never knew that awful feeling would happen to me.Suddenly, a tight armrests around my waist and Brian's hoarse voice slowly echoes in my ears. "Go to sleep. Are you going to stay up until morning?"I scowled at him, wanted to speak, then sighed again; when I saw him looking at me, I just said good night and closed my eyes.I get up early in the morning to prepare breakfast and vestments for Brian. Harvey says the designer will deliver them by six o'clock, and everything should be in order by 7 a.m, when the official ceremony occurs.As I was getting ready for the morning, Brian also woke up. He was not pleased to see that I was busy.
I did not refuse; I opened the door and sat in the back seat with her. "I didn't expect to meet you here by coincidence; I'm still worried whether I'll get there in time or not."Erina shook her head. "No coincidence; Brian told me to come to pick you up because everyone is busy; if he hands you over to someone he doesn't know, he won't feel secure."I was floored. "Really?"Receiving Erina's nod, I couldn't hide my happiness. Surprisingly, he was so busy that he still took care of me."You look so beautiful like this; this dress suits you like it was made for you." Erina looked at me once and was satisfied. "Did Brian see you in this outfit?"I shyly shook my head. "Brian left the house before I changed my clothes. But he saw this outfit last night; he gave it to the person who prepared it."Erina let out a long hum, then slyly looked at me. "He will be surprised to see an angel appear at his party.""You exaggerate." I laugh.We soon reached the square, and I saw Brian standing on t
He glanced at me and smiled. "It's all Alpha's command; you'll be sitting next to him, up there, when the party officially starts."I was startled when I saw the strange man's eyes looking at me with annoyance. If I sat next to Brian, not only him but everyone would stare at me.I whispered to Harvey. "Or you can find me somewhere to sit; I….""No, that's Alpha's order." Harvey's voice was firm.I turned my head to look at Erina, hoping for her help, but at that moment, Erina pretended to be deaf without paying attention to my pleading eyes. She took Harvey's arm and sweetly said. "Brother, take me to my seat."Harvey smiled with a very tolerant attitude that made others envious. I feel like I've been abandoned."Take your seats; we'll start the party in a few minutes." Beta Henry's hoarse voice rang out.Soon after, the noble delegates appeared, and they went out together. In the lead was Brian, with a strikingly tall build; behind him was Lion, along with many others I did not know.
My hands are cold; my whole body is as tight as a string; it could break at any moment.Unlike me, Brian responded very casually. "When was that promise made? Why do I know nothing about it? And as you said, Alpha Arnold also suggested nothing is certain.""The engagement is set; you can't deny it." Lion roared.Brian raised an eyebrow. "I don't accept it anyway.""What do you mean? You give it all away when he dies? You wouldn't accept that marriage, would you?" Angry Lion bangs the table; he's always been a hot-tempered person.Everyone present was startled; some advised him to calm down, and some added fuel to the fire. "This is complicated. We cannot advise others to abandon our mate, nor can we disregard the promise of the deceased. Moreover, it is a noble Alpha. It's awkward for Alpha Brian this time; if he doesn't keep his promise, Blood Ocean will likely have trouble with the Red Forest.""Last time, Blood Ocean was defeated in a war, so it was necessary to make peace. Did the
I turned my head and looked at Brian in astonishment.Brian slightly bowed his head, smiling a beautiful, heartwarming smile.I was just about to ask him what he wanted to do when suddenly, he felt his legs go down. I was so surprised that I gasped. When I regained consciousness, Brian was already on one knee on the ground. Beautiful eyes were looking at me.His sudden action made me unable to adapt; I frantically stretched out my arms to help him. "Brian, what are you doing? You stand up first."Brian flashed a seductive smile and pulled a velvet box from his pocket, which popped open to reveal a glittering ring. He slowly brought it before me, expectantly asking me in a husky. "Will you marry me?"Is he proposing to me? The surroundings were gloomy, only pitch black, the cold wind, and a lonely star in the sky: no music, no flowers, no cheers. Even so, as long as Brian is here alone, in front of me like a beautiful landscape, my heart is filled with happiness. But that didn't last l
I frowned, stepping back, and asked cautiously. "Does Brian know about this?"Lucas smiled faintly, his eyes full of contempt. "I kindly remind you to know how to address yourself properly. An enslaved person who dares to call out Alpha's name directly, if you let others hear it, your little life will be difficult to keep." After saying this, he intentionally stopped to observe my expression, smiled faintly, and continued. "Alpha just got promoted, so busy, no time to worry about such trivial things. Moreover, Luna Serena wants to meet you to talk; there's no need to be so scared."Doubt arose in my heart. There's undoubtedly nothing between Luna Serena and me except regarding Brian's marriage annulment. A few days ago, when the news of Brian kissing broke out. I've heard Aliyah warn that Luna Serena is angry, causing me trouble sooner or later. It's just that I didn't expect it to come so quickly, and besides, Brian wasn't around."Follow me!" Lucas lost his patience when he saw me s
In an instant, our two children were seven years old. Avis grew up a lot like a little version of Brian, and Alina was exactly like me. Brian loves Alina very much; almost anything she asks for will be pampered. As for Avis, he was much stricter; when Avis was only three years old, he was forced to train on the field.I feel sorry for my son, but thinking about the future responsibility he has to bear, I also let Brian be a little strict. Later Avis will be the incredible Alpha like Brian; he must protect his sister and the Blood Ocean's people.One day when I was cooking, Avis suddenly ran home, hugged me tightly, and burst into tears. I was astonished that not only Avis inherited Brian's appearance but also his personality and copied it over. Since childhood, Avis has been highly independent and challenging; I have never seen him cry, let alone so pitifully.I sat down sadly, stroked my son's hair, and asked. "What happened to my son?"Avis bit his lip and burst into tears. "Father
Lisa glanced up at my ear, then couldn't close her mouth to admire. "It must be costly. Such a large natural pearl is a fortune, and the structure is so special that there is no such thing as a second pair in this world."I laugh, that's for sure; not only is it expensive, but it's also my great spiritual gift. Also, to mark a big step forward in our mother-in-law relationship."Let me help you change your wedding dress." Lisa took the initiative to take out the dress from the mirror.As soon as I saw it, I realized it was the pearl-studded wedding dress displayed in the store that day. I stood up, so surprised that I was speechless. "This is? Why is it here, wasn't it specially designed by someone for his wife?"Lisa laughed, tilting her head. "Then that man is Alpha; he meticulously plans everything. We were just acting together."I froze for a moment, happy to the point of bursting. No wonder that day I kept feeling strange; suddenly, I was given a set in a collection for no reason
By the afternoon, the award ceremony was over. After a long day of sitting in a chair, my butt and back are sore. I turned to look at Brian, who was leisurely strolling beside him. Wouldn't he feel uncomfortable sitting in one place all day?After a lengthy investigation into the old case of my parents, there is finally a result. Brian tracked down Keva, and she confessed all she knew and provided an essential item.Before her death, Keva's father left behind a wooden box containing all the evidence to prove my parents' innocence, which he had collected over the past ten years. Before he died, Alex wanted to return it to me, but he feared Brian, so he put his hopes on Keva. Initially, he wanted Keva to help me, but for a long time, she was blinded by hatred, so she joined Richard's army. After being arrested by Keva, she and I had a very long conversation, so we understood and sympathized with each other more. Keva regretted it and provided me with a wooden box; thanks to it, the inve
Brian's recovery speed is beyond anyone's imagination; he just woke up not long ago; he could walk and walk like an average person, while before that, most of his bones were damaged.I followed Brian, patiently reminding me. "Don't rely on your health too much, or just rest for a few more days at home."Brian smiled softly and patted my head; he turned his eyes to the sun and said. "Being in the room, I feel I will die faster, rather than going out to exercise is also better."I knew I couldn't speak to him, so I just made a tail following him.For a moment, a month had passed, and everything seemed to return to its old trajectory. After Brian fully recovered, under pressure from Harvey and the elders, he returned to his Alpha position. The remaining battles were all handled by Brian most neatly; after that, just hearing his name, everyone had to be afraid to raise the white flag to surrender to reduce losses.Recently I feel that my psychological quality is not good anymore; I do not
"It's me that hurt you so recklessly; if it weren't for me being disobedient, you wouldn't be like this either." I blamed myself, subconsciously pinching my thighs so hard that they bled.Brian looked at me peacefully, without a shred of reproach, on the contrary, praising a sinner like me. "You saved me; if you didn't rush in, I…" Brian coughed, blood gushing from his mouth.I quickly put my hand to stop it; I saw the blood running through my hand, and my eyes hurt again. I cried so much that I almost went blind, but I couldn't help but choke."Don't say..." I said painfully.But Brian was so stubborn; he kept going. "If Richard and I keep going, we will bite each other's necks and die sooner or later. Falling off the cliff has a glimmer of hope, isn't it?""I was trying to keep up with you; I wanted to help you, but…" Although I didn't want to cry, my throat caught in my throat, causing me to stop, turn my face away, and silently burst into tears.Emotion is indeed such a stupid thi
This fight will be won in Brian's favor if he is not injured, but everything seems too early to speculate about the result. After that throw, Brian fell to one knee on the ground, gasping for breath.Richard was motionless for a few seconds after the injury, then sat up hunched over, wiping the blood from the corner of his lips and smiling dangerously. He shook his neck, the sound of bones crunching. He swayed his body; no one expected his next move. Richard rushed to Brian's side with lightning speed, punching him in the head.Brian's face was covered with fog, and while my heart was about to jump out, Brian's eyes were strangely calm.I tightened the gun in my hand, aiming for Richard's head, but the distance was too far, and he was moving so fast I couldn't pull the trigger correctly. Moreover, he is pretty close to Brian; I am afraid that my carelessness will hurt Brian.While I was uneasy, Brian got up; he dodged Richard's attack and, at the same time, grabbed Richard's arm and t
I didn't have time to react; I didn't have time to ask a question. But soon, I understood why Brian told me to run away. That helicopter saw us, but they wanted to kill us instead of trying to save us.Waves of explosives were thrown down; bullets flew like rain. With great difficulty, Brian and I managed to escape into a cave. The scene outside turned into a mess; more than half of the forest burned like a disaster, and wild animals ran everywhere, screaming and crying.Under their destruction, the forest full of life looked like the world's end.In the distance, the helicopter looked for an empty place to land. A familiar face appeared; Richard led people wearing armor, guns, and other advanced weapons.I heard Richard give orders. "Find those mice; kill them all for me. Whoever brings their heads to me will have a triple reward. Whoever you catch alive is rewarded ten times over."The soldiers shouted excitedly, fired a few shots in the air, then happily split up to look for their
My hands and feet were cold, and I suddenly felt strange while nervously waiting for an answer.I suddenly realized Brian's unusualness; his eyes were fixed on my body. I don't know when, deep inside, his pupils reflected my silhouette mixed with fire- the fire of lust was burning.I froze for a moment; I rubbed my face and shyly asked. "Is there something wrong with my face?"Brian shakes his head; he looks at my lips, ponders for a moment, then replies. "I only have you. You make me unable to look away, unable to resist."My body is hot, both shy and happy, in my heart like a fragrant flower garden. I completely threw aside the initial difficulties and fears.His hot eyes were fixed on me without any concealment, just like when he and I were intimate.Realizing his intentions, I shyly bit my lip and looked away. Even though I didn't face him, I could still feel his eyes never leaving my body.Brian suddenly spoke to me in a gentle tone. "Can I?"My cheeks are red; this is not the fi
I sniffed my nose, trying to lift my lips into a smile, but I knew it was unsightly, and yet Brian was pleased."Every day, smile like that for me," Brian said.I nodded without thinking.Brian didn't say anything but pulled me into his chest; Brian's temperature was higher than mine, so leaning on him brought a warm feeling.I have a question I can't help asking. Otherwise, it will torment me. "You don't remember me; why do you believe what I say? Aren't you afraid I'll hurt you?"Brian was silent as if immersed in his world and, a moment later, an agreeable answer. "I don't know, but you have my scent on you, a powerful smell. Although I don't remember what kind of person I was before, I'm sure I didn't come close to a female casually."Brian's words amused me. I hugged my stomach and laughed happily. How did I forget what kind of person Brian is? Even though he is losing his memory, his unapproachable and suspicious nature is still there, it's like it's ingrained in his blood, and
