On our whole drive to school, Gonzalo kept on asking me if I was hiding something from them. I kept on saying no. I was clueless about what was going on as they were.

"You better be not hiding something from us." His voice sounded like a threat after he stopped the car in the school parking lot.

I gasped. "What am I gonna hide anyway? My life was ordinary until you guys came." I rolled my eyes unbuckling my seatbelt.

"Okay then." He shrugged. "Enjoy your school, little kid." He tapped my head like I was a dog.

I glared at him. "I'm not a little kid."

"Yes, you are. We're centuries older than you." He chuckled.

I just mocked him before getting out of the car. While I was walking in the hallway towards my first class, Nazarus bumped his shoulder onto mine before he wrapped his arm around my shoulders.

"What's up?" He smiled.

I was still thinking about the car that froze a while ago but I just shrugged. "Nothing much."

"Got a new driver?" he asked.

I looked back at the parking lot where

    I was so conscious while eating pasta as I could feel Gonzalo and Fenris watching me like I was some kind of television. I looked at Fenris and he avoided my gaze, pretending he wasn't staring. I rolled my eyes before looking at Gonzalo who raised his right brow at me with a smirk on his lips.I looked back at my finally emptied plate. I sipped on my wine, wondering about the Shadow Ripper and all the weird, creepy stuff I heard while gossiping a while ago."Who cooked the pasta? You?" I asked Gonzalo to ease the loud silence."Yeah. It's good, isn't it?" "Don't take the credits from me." Fenris rolled his eyes. "I cooked that."Gonzalo playfully chuckled. "I'm trying to impress her. Why ruin it?" "She's my fiancé. You shouldn't impress what's mine." Fenris glanced at me.My face heated. I looked down, hiding my burning cheeks. For sure, they were blushing red as I could feel my face almost like exploding.Gonzalo laughed teasingly. "Oh, she's blushing. Congrats, you impressed her."

    I thought we were already right outside his territory but when we got out of the plane, I realized we were in the airport; tons of people with thick jackets were walking around, holding their own luggage.I looked at Fenris. "Are they all werewolves?" He shook his head. "We usually blend in with humans." He tapped my head like a dog. "Come on, our helicopter is over there." My lips parted. I thought we were just gonna ride in a van or car on the way to his den. It was slowly sinking into me how rich and big-time my soon-to-be husband is, for real. It made my nerves more nervous as most rich families hate to have a deep connection with average families like mine.I hugged my shoulder as we walked toward the helicopter. The coldness could freeze me with the gloomy surrounding and some formed ice around the corners. I had a love and hate relationship with the winter seasons.My nervousness somehow ease when I saw the helicopter. It wasn't every time that I could have a chance to hop in

    My lips were parted throughout as Fenris toured me around their mansion. I couldn't stop looking up at the high ceiling and around the corners with every huge room door.He explained to me some important rooms that I shouldn't dare to open and some rooms that were owned specifically by his family.A sigh of relief escaped from my mouth as he mentioned his mother wasn't around. As much as I wanted to be ready, I couldn't stop myself from getting intimidated by all the shiny things I was witnessing. I was anxious, afraid to be belittled by his mom. I was hoping that wouldn't be the case."This is amazing." My eyes glittered at Fenris as we continued roaming around. "I mean, this is much bigger than your mansion in California."Fenris just smiled at me. He looked patient now compared to his face way back in my country."There are so many rooms." I touched the silky door that we passed by. "Your family members must be so many."He shrugged. "It's not only my family members that live here.

    Fenris intertwined his hand with mine, making my chest calm a little while the old man was examining me from head to toe."Perhaps, the woman standing in front of me is your fiancé." The old man smiled."Slender, I want you to meet Kira, and yes, she's my fiancé." He tightened his grip on my hand as he glanced at me.I managed to smile despite my trembling lips. "Hi, Slender. It's a pleasure to meet you." We shook hands while smiling at each other until his brows slightly crossed at me.My lips thinned, looking at our hands that stopped shaking.I looked at Fenris with my confused face. Why is Slender looking at my hand like there was a problem with it?"What's the matter, Slender?" Fenris asked.Slender finally let go of my hand. "Nothing."They looked at each other as if they were talking through their eyes and I was just standing beside Fenris, clueless about what they were thinking. "You turned her into a werewolf without waiting for your wedding day." My brows crossed. I though

    I covered my boobs with my arms while I was already right in front of him, soaking in the middle of the pool. I still wasn't comfortable with him seeing my whole naked body. The side of his lips rose when he looked at my arms on my boob part. He shook his head, smirking."What's funny?" My brows crossed."What do you mean funny? Am I laughing?" He raised his right brow."You're smirking," I pointed out.He shrugged and didn't utter a word. He just stared at me. Luckily, my thigh part was under the deep water so he wouldn't be able to see it. My boobs were just my problem; I didn't want him to judge them. "Can you at least give me a heads-up?" I puffed a breath, escaping the awkward silence. "How many rituals are we gonna do before the wedding?" "I don't wanna spoil you." He shrugged. I splashed water on his face. "You should! I deserve to know if my life is gonna be at risk on whatever your werewolf rituals are or whatsoever.""You're safe, Kira." He tapped my head like a dog. "Un

    I just rolled my eyes at his sarcastic face. I continued walking even though I didn't know where we would go.He then started walking again too, finally doing slow steps so my legs could cope. He tapped my head like a dog. I pushed his hands away as I frowned at him. Always a sarcastic, annoying werewolf! "We're in a small town if it isn't that obvious." Fenris wrapped his arm around my shoulders. I tried to remove it but he made his arm heavy on my body. I glared at him. "Why are you so moody huh?""Excuse me," he said with exaggeration.I rolled my eyes. "Whatever.""You're the moody one." He chuckled."Yeah, reverse it all you want." I crossed my arms on my chest while his arm was still resting on my shoulders. Our body was so closely tight and the friction of our waist together was electrifying my nerves.I was already annoyed but my temper was getting higher because of the thick snow that my boots and feet could barely walk into.I almost fell to the ground. Luckily, he held my

    When we arrived back at their mansion, we went straight to our room. A sigh of relief escaped my mouth when I didn't bump into any of his family. I still wasn't ready to meet them all. The pressure was getting too high that it was sharpening the stones on my chest. Rollina, his fling or whatsoever insulted me. I was afraid his family would do the same.I was laying on our huge bed, staring at the white ceiling like it was a nowhere but white hole. Fenris left me alone and I couldn't be more anxious. The room was too big for me and it just felt like the quiet surrounding was succumbing to me.He told me to sleep as I need it before our fire ritual but my mind was too awake, overthinking scenarios of how could I possibly die in this adventure I got myself in. I never expected I would meet vampires, werewolves, and sorcerers in my whole existence. What more could I possibly witness in the mysterious world I was in? "Hey, Kira, did you sleep well?" Fenris asked when he finally came back

    He glared at me, still with his hand handing me the knife. "You can't kill me, Kira. A strike of a knife cannot kill me. Just do what I say.""But---" I shook my head. "I don't think I can do that. I've never plunged a knife into someone before. Can we just skip this part?"He bit his lower lip, controlling his patience. He puffed a breath. "We cannot skip any rituals, Kira. I know this is new to you but you need to do this for us, for the binding of our hearts."I looked at the knife and carefully took it from him. "Will it hurt?" My lips were trembling, even my hands. I never imagined stabbing someone. Oh goodness, gracious. "Of course, it will." He chuckled sarcastically. "We don't have anaesthesia in our body. We will both feel the pain but only for a minute, after that, our werewolf blood will help us tolerate it." "I'm sorry, what should I do again?" My knees also trembled, I couldn't process the information well."Plunge the knife to my heart, Kira.""What if I didn't?"He ro

    I swallowed deeply after seeing some backpacks and winter clothes that they had prepared for us. My mind was roaring everywhere, and I couldn't even sink in the information Guardian Leo was saying to me.My chest was thudding so loud, and all I could think of was I wasn't ready. I didn't expect everything to happen this quick.We rode horses to travel the cold land, and I couldn't stop glancing at Fenris every time I would think of backing up. I sighed deeply and tried gathering courage from I didn't even know where I could actually get one. Perhaps, the look of Fenris reassuring me was enough.We arrived at the strange mountain ranges, and from there, we teleported to the icy plateau on top of the hill. My hands were trembling under my gloves. Fenris held me while we were looking around the place, examining the surroundings."I don't understand," I muttered. "I can't see anything but icy mountains. Where could be the location of Darkesta's territory?"I hugged myself when the strong

    What happened that night was still hunting me to this day — it had been two weeks and up until now, we were still thinking of the purpose of why Darkesta's little dogs suddenly attacked us."Claude is dead."When Fenris brought me that news, I was stunned. I thought I would be happy to hear those words but then again, I remembered he was once my friend. Even though it wasn't really for him, it was real for me and Lilien."They decided to kill him after he almost successfully transformed himself into his wolf form," he added.I sipped on my cup of coffee while my heart was still feeling unsafe. Darkesta was not only the devil, he was intelligent and whatever he was plotting against us could be the real end of our kind. I was just so frightened by that thought."What about Vilka? Do you believe her?" I asked before sipping on my coffee again.Vilka explained to us why she suddenly disappeared from the mansion a minute after our soldiers had traced foot tracks of Dark Summoners. She said

    My jaw tightened as my claws gripped tighter on the ground. I stepped back, lowering my body while gazing at the three creepy humanoid wolves. They were standing on their two legs, and it made them look more monstrous. I prepared myself for a possible attack."Calm down!" The humanoid wolves were almost laughing in my ears. I didn't know they could talk to us through the mind link. "You seem to be too threatened to us. Don't make it so obvious, I suggest." The humanoid wolf in the middle kept blubbering, sounding so boastful.I glared at them deeper as I hissed. Fenris was looking much more eager. I could even hear his blood boiling so hard.Fenris howled. "What do you want from us?!" He also spoke through mind-link. The humanoid wolf on the left side chuckled like a playful yet annoying child. "You know what we want. "We will never surrender to your greedy master, you asshole!" Fenris fired back while he was scratching his pointed claws on the ground with his sharp teeth showing.

    My heart thundered as Fenris' eyes and mine met. "Stay here," he commanded."What? No—" He got out of the room without letting me finish my words. I gulped before I rushed to follow him downstairs. Noises were coming from outside the mansion and when we finally exited the house, I saw some soldiers talking and discussing some things. In contrast, others were spread around the huge house, they were anticipating something, and my heart was thudding continuously for what could be it."What the hell is going on?!" Fenris exclaimed, and finally, he caught the soldiers' attention."We saw tracks of Dark Summoners leading to this place—""I know, but did you see them? How the hell did they get here without anyone sensing them?"Strange. Even I didn't sense the unwelcomed scent of humanoid wolves. "Alpha Fenris, I checked Vilka in her room, but she isn't there." A maid approached him."What?! What does she have to do with any of this? Are you sure she didn't sleep in her own house?"The mai

    I swallowed deeply, convincing myself they were nothing but friends just like me and Nazarus — come on!"Yes, my cousins are regaining their strengths, thankfully."I cleared my throat before I stood properly and composed myself. My elbows hit some leaves, and I immediately noticed how quickly their eyes turned into me. "Oh, Kira!" Atasha chuckled awkwardly. "My cousins would want to give you and your mother this." She handed me two necklaces with a fang pendant."Really?" I still couldn't figure out how to interact with her. I never wanted to be fake or plastic or whatever they call it. "Yes, they've been planning to come here, but they are still regenerating their strengths — maybe next week they could thank you personally.""Oh, that's nice." I grabbed the necklaces from her soft hand. "Tell your cousins not to worry, and we appreciate their gifts and their gratitude." I glanced at Fenris, and he slightly smiled at me. My lips just thinned.I wanted to ask what they were talking

    We arrived in the woods right on time while the Sun was about to rise. Good thing, the soldiers arrived earlier than us. They seemed responsible and dedicated to their tasks. We stayed near the river for a couple of hours. Fenris had been discussing something with the soldiers. They were plotting a plan while I was on the lookout for the busy group. Surprisingly, no Dark Summoners attempted to attack us. I was quite anticipating the action now, but perhaps it really was better for them not to attack or anything. The damage they could cause was too much, for sure.Since we saw no sign of attack, Fenris and I decided to go back to the mansion. He instructed the leader to inform us once anything unfortunate occurred. While we walked our way back to our house, the soldiers stayed in the woods as it was one of their duty — to guard and observe the forest.The next day was a really bad day for me. I work up without Fenris on my side. Since my body was so heavy and even my eyes, I didn't no

    Nazarus just shrugged and started walking to the exit of the mansion. He looked back at me and gestured to me to follow him. I rolled my eyes before walking. I watched Nazarus back while walking. It was only at that time I noticed how neat and elegant he walked. Every step of him was really careful — I laughed at the thought of why we waste our time walking if we could just teleport. Fenris's deep gaze met mine when we reached the gate. "What did you do?* His brows crossed at Nazarus.I snaked my arm over Fenris' arm. "Where are we going?" I asked.Fenris remained to stare at Naz. Naz laughed and shook his head. "Chill! I went to the restroom and walked past her in the living room.""Where are we going, Fenris?" I asked again.Fenris finally looked at me. "You'll see."I rolled my eyes before looking at Nazarus. "Where are we going, Naz?""You'll see." He mocked Fenris.Fuck them!I crossed my arms over my chest and just followed them. We walked for a few minutes until we reached M

    Slowly, the estranged man opened his eyes and quickly met mine. "You're gonna die… you're all going to die…." His huge black pupils trembled on my chest. I took a deep breath as my chest tightened.Fenris kicked the man before he stepped on his chest. "Don't listen to him." He tightened the grip of his feet on the man's chest, stiffening the Dark Summoners' human body."What do you want from us, huh?!"The man smiled strangely and slowly, he chuckled like a devil. "You're all gonna die…." He breathed out before coughing after Fenris squeezed his chest more with his feet."Fuck you! You're the one who's going to die today." Fenris grabbed his dagger and sliced the Dark Summoner's head off. I flinched and stepped back as the blood splashed everywhere. I covered my mouth. I was used to seeing brutality, but I couldn't still stop to be shocked at times."Why did you kill him? We could get information—""Do you think he will say something?" Fenris cut me off. "Think of him as Claude. He wi

    Fenris raised his right brow. "You're talking about me?" "Oh, it's not important." Nazarus shrugged his hand. "Don't think too much about it."My lips thinned when Fenris glared at me. "What?" I arched a brow. "I just told him you don't like plucking the flowers in the garden."Fenris looked at the flower in my hand. I thought he was going to get it to me, but he just turned his gaze back at Fenris."What it is with the flowers that you're always giving to my wife, huh?"Nazarus raised both of his hands as if surrendering. "Just a nice gesture, calm down.""Nice gesture." Fenris scoffed. "Bullshit.""Fenris." I cleared my throat."Anyway, Fenris," Nazarus uttered. "It's perfect timing that you're here. I have to discuss something with you."Fenris' brows crossed, and so mine."About what?"Nazarus glanced at the mansion. "Can we talk inside?""Why? Can't you discuss that here?" Fenris sounded more disgusted yet intrigued.Naz looked around. "You won't wanna risk someone hearing our
