HERMIONE'S POVBy the time I woke up, the feeling of soreness surged into my body, but it wasn't that bad compared to before. I could already tolerate this kind of pain and was already used to it.Hah, I don't know if it was already a good thing to get used to it.I climbed off the bed and was about to go to the bathroom, when the door opened and Phoenix, who was wearing an apron, looked at me with surprise.“You woke up so early.” He said and went in my direction, giving me 5 as a kiss on the lips while holding a spatula in his hand. “Does it hurt? Is there anything uncomfortable, hm?”I shook my head and helplessly looked at him. “No, there's none. I'm going to take a bath so you finish what you're doing.”Phoenix smiled and kissed me heavily on the lips. “Okay. After you're finished, go downstairs and we'll eat.”I nodded my head. “I know.”“Do you need my help?” He suddenly asked while looking at me, especially after seeing that my legs were trembling.He could easily see the mark
HERMIONE'S POVPhoenix raised his brows and looked at me in confusion. “Didn't she usually use her witch abilities to see through a glimpse of the future?”I nodded my head and sighed heavily. “That's right. However, I kept on reminding her to minimize the use of her abilities, since it is harmful for her, but she's a stubborn one.”“I already know that once she used her ability to see a glimpse of someone's future, she would either suffer from a pain in her heart or suddenly lose her mana depending on the situation. She hid it deeply from me, but I managed to see her suffering.” I said while clicking my tongue in annoyance.Elizabeth had always been like that. It was the same as before when she didn't really love her life and was planning to commit suicide, but I tried to commit that time at first, leading to her stopping her plan just to save me.After those events, we become closer. We help each other heal our wounds, but there are times that I had to see her in a daze and her eyes
HERMIONE'S POV“Are you going too?” I asked while looking at Phoenix, who had changed his clothes. It was clothes that he would usually wear whenever he went to assassinate someone.Phoenix looked at me and pouted. “You don't want me to go with you?”I rolled my eyes at his expression. “I still have to remind you that you are the leader, the Alpha of the Vlademore Clan and you still have a lot of things to do.”“Aren't I the one who agreed to help Jacques’s small pack?” He retorted back.“You're just doing this to escape from signing the documents and reading those complicated things.” I calmly said as I tied my hair to a bun.He clicked his tongue. “I've also been working, too, since I was a teenager, dealing with those problematic documents while my father was out there, currently enjoying his freedom, while his son was locked up to deal with his work.” He calmly said, while rolling his eyes, “It's his turn to suffer now from those documents became became avoided it when he become t
HERMIONE'S POVI couldn't help but glance at those pitiful innocent people who were being locked inside of the basement. Some of them were lying on the ground and who knows if they were still breathing or not? Some of them kept on crying and most of them were lifelessly staring at the door.“Free them, Phoenix. I'll deal with finding Jacques.” I said while tapping his shoulder and climbed off from him.I saw his brows furrowed and shook his head. Most of the bandits who were guarding this place were already taken down by Phoenix's subordinates.“No.” He refused without hesitation.I frowned at him. “There's no time, Phoenix. If the leader of the bandits had found out that something was strange and that we managed to enter his stolen territory, for sure that he would harm Jacques... much worse, he would kill him for sure.”“Still, I can't let you get hurt by an insignificant being, Hermione. Your life is more important and cannot be measured by their lives.” Phoenix said while looking
HERMIONE'S POVI hissed when the buzzcut man managed to stab me in the face. If it wasn't for my quick wit, there would certainly have been a hole in my cheeks now. Thank goodness, it was just a scratch.“Hey woman, you're not bad.” The buzz cut said with a broad grin as he kept on attacking me the same as his companion.I kept up with their pace and defended myself from them.I snickered upon hearing his compliment. “You're not bad either.”“This would make me want to get you even more...” The buzz cut let out a lustful groan while looking at me openly as if he was looking at a naked version of me.Seeing him being like this, my lips twitched as I looked at him in disgust, which only sent him satisfaction.“Fuck, you're really gorgeous. I shall keep you!” He said and started to move faster while he kept on swinging his dagger in my direction.I gritted my teeth and kicked his companion in the face while I swiftly moved to the other side, kicking his wrist again, leading for his dagge
HERMIONE'S POVI helplessly looked at Phoenix and couldn't help but rub my temples that were throbbing.“Phoenix dear, pay attention to your image.” I calmly stated while looking at him who was torturing the buzzcut man that was bleeding heavily with dark bruises.After hearing my voice, he swiftly looked at me and took a deep breath. “Can I kill him now?”I shook my head. “We need to use him. Probably his comrades were hiding somewhere and were waiting to ambush us.”“I've already killed the leader after saving Jacques. Can they still do even without their leader?” Phoenix calmly said while walking towards my direction as he was wiping his blooded fist in disgust.“Well, who knows? We don't know if what you killed was their leader or what. But don't worry, we have someone who will provide us with some information we want to know.” I said while giving the buzz cut a side eye.I couldn't help but be amazed at the perseverance of the buzz cut, especially that he hadn't passed out despit
HERMIONE'S POV“Come on babe, tell me and I'll kill them first.” Phoenix said while urging me. His eyes were coldly looking at the ten assassins who were looking for their advantage to attack.I rolled my eyes at him. “Can you just close your mouth, Phoenix? You're acting like a psychopath right now.”I saw him pouting and looked at me aggrievedly. “You don't love me anymore?”Before I could reply, I had noticed that one of the assassins was secretly making a move and the sharp knife in his hands was facing in our direction as if he would stab me with those knives.Did he pick me as his first target, knowing that I am,, weaker than Phoenix because I am a woman?I was about to fight him back, when before that assassin could get close to me, I saw a flying dagger in my eyes and it directly stabbed right in the assassin's forehead.Blood spurt out and I watched that assassin's eyes widen but he couldn't do anything. He slumped onto the ground, lying motionlessly.This action had triggere
HERMIONE'S POVAfter dealing with the assassin, we went to check on the victims and upon seeing that they are well, under the care of their Alpha and also their future Queen... Megan, I let out a sigh of relief and didn't go there.“Cai managed to track the leader of the bandits,” Phoenix said in my ears.I looked at him in surprise. “That was fast. Where?”“Currently escaping near the cliff. Our subordinates are currently chasing him right now,” Phoenix said while resting his chin on my shoulder.I stared at him and solemnly reminded him. “You had better be sure to catch him alive.”Feeling wronged, he pouted. “Am I that cruel in your heart?”“Yes.” After thinking about it, I changed my words. “You're quite reckless.”“How am I...” Seeing that he was going to deny it, I rolled my eyes and pinched his lips, making them form like a duck.“Go on and take care of the leader of the bandits. I'm going with Megan.” I said as I retracted from his hug and faced him, giving a kiss on his lips.
