HERMIONE'S POVBefore I could send him towards Mia, Phoenix had already wrapped his arms around my waist, possessively locking me in his embrace as he buried his face around my neck.I could feel his intimidating aura, but it wasn't targeted at me.“I was just kidding, okay? I wasn't really going to see that, Mia. I don't even care if she's alive or not. If you hadn't mentioned her, I would have already forgotten about her.” He softly said while raising his head, forcing me to look up at him.I just stared at him and didn't say anything.Seeing that I didn't say anything, he let out a helpless sigh as his hand reached out, touching my chin as he looked at me straight into my eyes.“My mind was filled with you, all alone, so how could I have the time to think of an insignificant person?” He gently said, and his eyes were looking at me with seriousness that if I would retort again or not believe him, he would use other means to prove it to me.When I saw his face enlarged in my eyes, I
HERMIONE'S POVI glanced at Vincent, who was being dragged by Reo on his collar while, on the other hand, I was being carried by Phoenix—more like he just moved me away from Vincent who was about to hug us.However, Vincent didn't pay attention to the minor details and glanced at us with bright eyes as if he had just bought his toy for him.“I finished my task! I burned all of their places just like what they did to your basement!” He excitedly said while the corner of his lips curved up.I let out a soft chuckle upon seeing the way he looked.“I know, I saw it. Thank you for your hardwork, Vincent.” I said with a smile on my face and also looked at the two who hard looking at us.“It's also for the two of you. Thank you for doing a good job, Reo and Yves!” I said while giving them a warm smile.Yves's cheeks reddened and he slyly bowed his head, Reo just nodded his head and didn't say anything, while Vincent was the most energetic among them and he started to elaborate on what happen
THIRD PERSON'S POV“It's all to intimidate our relationship, Honey! Don't listen to that woman! Your sister! She was only here to break us apart!” Mia exclaimed while holding the wrist of her mate while looking at him desperately.Benjamin looked down at Mia and let out a sneer. “Can you even explain your words and actions clearly admitting to the fact that you are still in love with that fucking Alpha King?!”He added while hissing in anger. “You even made it seem like you were regretting being with me! If you're already tired of me, just tell me and we can part ways—”“No, no, no! I'm not going to break up with you! I don't regret being with you! I told you, it's because of your sister! She was the one who was trying to ruin our relationship!” Mia desperately clung onto Benjamin and her eyes were bloodshot while looking at him.She doesn't want to break up with him, she does wants to leave him.If he left, who would be the person who cleans the house, washes the dishes, goes hunt fo
THIRD PERSON'S POVIn the bright starry night, a vague feature of a woman had been reflected in the moonlight.Her cheeks were rosy, yet her complexion was pale. It was as pale as a sheet of paper, as if someone had just drained her blood, all except for her cheeks.Bullets of sweat had formed on her forehead and her brows were furrowed.Her eyelashes trembled and became moist as she struggled to open her eyes trying to get out of her nightmare.Her hands clenched tightly on the bedsheet, the veins on her hands became visible as she let out a muffled groan.Yet, just like before, she couldn't open her eyes.This woman who was suffering from her nightmare right now, was none other than Hermione.No one else had noticed her struggle, not even Phoenix.It was all because Hermione was covered by a black mist as she was transported into an unknown eerie place where she was being laid onto a cold square of cement with skulls and a warm shade of light that had reflected on her skin.The smel
THIRD PERSON'S POV“Y... You clearly promised me that you would choose me! Why are you choosing her over me?!” It was a woman with tears running down on her cheeks like a waterfall while looking at the man who was coldly looking at her as if she was just a mere stranger in his eyes.The man who was holding the other woman's waist, coldly answered the woman's question.“I don't love you anymore. I realized that what I felt for you was because I longed for love when Mia left me. I tried to love you, but she is the person I love.”The woman let out a mocking laugh as she clutched her chest in pain. Her eyes were already vague from her tears but she was looking at the man with hope and longing as she was waiting for him to take back his words.But he didn't.The woman let out a painful howl.“Liar! Fuck! Have you finally lost your mind, Phoenix?!” The woman slowly turned to Hermione, who was on the other side, crying and painfully howling while looking at the man she loved, confessed that
HERMIONE'S POVI let out a heavy sigh as I covered Phoenix's face with my hands.“I'm not lying to you, I'm really good. It's just that, I'm exhausted after dealing with the nightmares. I'll be fine once I get plenty of rest.” I softly said while trying to assure him that I was doing fine.However, how could Phoenix not notice how I distanced myself from him a little?Although I was trying hard to act normal so that he wouldn't get caught in my act, I suppressed the painful feeling throbbing around my heart because whenever I looked at him, it would suddenly remind me of the Phoenix in my nightmare where he turned cold, looking at me nothing but pure disgust while keeping on claiming that he loved Mia over me.I know that it was just a nightmare. I was wrong this time in trying to avoid him just because of that nightmare.But I'm trying...I'm trying not to think about that nightmare because I know that it was used against me so that I would grow up in Phoenix.I love Phoenix.I admit
THIRD PERSON'S POVAfter sensing the heavy breathing of Hermione, and making sure that she was really sleeping, Phoenix slowly opened her eyes.His gaze softened upon seeing Hermione's peaceful sleeping face. His hand was raised, gently touched her cheeks and stared at her intently.“What the hell did you see in your nightmare for you to react that greatly, hm? My lady?” He softly murmured while he caressed her cheeks, up to her hair and casually played with it while she was asleep.Phoenix's eyes darkened when he saw the way Hermione's brows furrowed and tears slowly fell down on her cheeks.He used his thumb, wiping the crystal liquid that fell onto her cheeks and gently kissed her eyelids.“I'm here, I'm here... I'm always here, Hermione...” Phoenix gently assured her while he kept on whispering in her ears while he embraced her gently, trying to assure her of his presence.Upon a few assurances and whispers Phoenix had sent to Hermione, who was crying heavily in her sleep, he had
HERMIONE'S POVI woke up feeling refreshed than ever. I stretched both of my hands while sitting on the bed, letting out a yawn as the warm sun hit my face. I was about to climb out of bed, when I realized that something heavy was wrapped tightly around my waist like an octopus.Phoenix?Is he still with me until this time? He doesn't have any tasks to do?I was about to reach out to him and wake him up, but upon seeing the dark circles underneath his eyes and how peaceful he was sleeping, I couldn't peacefully bring myself to wake him up from a peaceful dream.Anyway, it's just a matter of lying on the bed and, besides, I still don't want to climb out of bed, so I might as well join Phoenix.I lay back on the bed while using his other arms as a pillow as he embraced me tightly, bringing me closer to him as he softly murmured near my ears without opening his eyes, clearly just first woken up.“Baby... awake?” I heard him murmur right in my ears, making me tremble as my neck shrank.I
HERMIONE'S POVElizabeth laughed even more, then she looked at Megan, whose lips were twitching, and we couldn’t help but tease her. “It seemed that you would get pregnant in the future, huh?”Megan's face turned green and rubbed her temples as she glared at us, especially Elizabeth. “You used your skills again when it would be best for you to save it, since who knows that would happen again. You’re too reckless with your body.”I also couldn’t help but glare at Elizabeth.She laughed and shook her head. “It’s not that, it was in the past. I can’t use that skill given my condition now.”I raised my brows and didn’t say anything.Megan clapped her hands and then said, “Let’s go, everyone is already waiting for us!”I smiled and looked at her teasingly. “Trying to change the topic, eh?”She smirked. “Well, you know me.” Then she led me inside the luxurious white carriage. “Now you go in, and the horseman will take you to the wedding venue.”“What about you?” I asked while looking down a
HERMIONE'S POVAnother month had already passed ever since the last time that Elizabeth had woken up, and today was the day that she was wedded with Phoenix. I had already contacted Denver regarding Elizabeth if she had woken up that day, because if not, we would move my wedding to Phoenix the next day.However, Denver had given me an affirmative answer that Elizabeth would wake up that day because he had calculated that after a month of recuperation, Elizabeth would wake up, and it just happened that today she would wake up right at the time of my wedding to Phoenix.“She’s still not awake? I don’t want to get our wedding on another day.” Phoenix wrapped his arms around my waist and buried his face in my neck.I looked at him and felt helpless. “You sneaking in again? Father has already told you that the bride and groom can’t meet each other for a week. You didn’t even survive for half of a day and would secretly sneak in.”Phoenix rubbed his cheeks on my cheeks and answered with a t
HERMIONE’S POVFacing Elizabeth, whom I haven’t seen for a while now, I couldn’t help but star at her from top to bottom to see if she was okay and that she didn’t receive or suffer from any injuries while saving me last time.Elizabeth let out a soft chuckle and was the first to speak. “Calm down, I’m really fine, and I didn’t receive any physical injuries.”My brows furrowed as I looked at her. “Then what about internal injuries?” I asked while looking at her.Elizabeth was silent at first, and then she let out a heavy sigh and answered, “Don’t worry, it wasn’t that bad and I thought that I would spend a decade being in a comma after giving you my energy, and I was planning to recuperate in my place, but who would have thought that a month had passed, I suddenly woke up, which left me stunned.”Elizabeth sighed and rubbed her temples. “At first, I had thought that it had been a decade now since what I felt when I was in a coma was that it had been so long, so I thought to myself if
HERMIONE'S POVI woke up from the loud cries of my child, Eijaz, and from my husband, who was trying to comfort our child who was crying heavily.“Hush, hush, you’ll wake up your mother if you keep on crying loudly.” He said while carrying our child in his arms, and his whole attention was to the child, trying to calm it from crying.I rubbed my temples and when I sat directly on the bed, I almost screamed from the pain. My waist, my back and even my vagina were still hurting, plus the fact that my legs were still shaking. He was too much last night!It seemed that Phoenix had noticed that I had woken up. He looked in my direction and looked at me with worry.“Are you okay? Does it still hurt?” He asked, glaring at him.“Of course, it still hurts! I told you to be gentle last night and even begged you to stop because it’s already three in the morning, but you didn’t! You only stopped after I passed out!” I couldn’t help but complain to him.He looked at me guiltily, “I’ll massage your
THIRD PERSON’S POVIn an instant, all the clothes that they were wearing were now scattered on the floor while its owner was passionately kissing on the bed with the man on top of the woman. His hand was gently placed on the back of the woman’s head, deepening the kiss while his other hand was playing with the woman’s breast.“Ugh… Uhm… Phoenix… hurry…” Hermione softly moaned in between their kisses as she wrapped her arms around his neck, and she also wrapped her legs in his waist while grinding her waist, feeling his hardness on her vagina.“Fuck…” Phoenix groaned after what his wife had just done to her.He teasingly bit her lips and pinched her nipples, making her moan even more.Phoenix right then whispered in her ears, “No hurry… it has been a while, and you’re not stretched yet.”“But I want you right now…” Hermione softly said while looking at him in the eyes that almost snapped the last remaining patience left in his body, but he still held on.He didn’t want to hurt his wife
HERMIONE’S POVI looked at our child who was playing with the squeaky ball toy while giggling, after he had made me stay up all night to take care of him because he kept on crying last night. I couldn’t help but rub my temples and couldn’t care less about how I looked right now.I probably looked like a fucking panda for having these large dark circles underneath my eyes after two consecutive days because I didn’t have proper time to rest.While Phoenix, on the other hand, was sent to the battlefield three days from now by his father due to emergencies and unexpected events.Some of those rogues who thought that no one was guarding the west troupe, which was also part of the Valcarcel’s territory, and took the advantage of sneaking inside, but in the end, they ended up waging a war, so did Alpha Don Ramon didn’t have enough time to deal with it because he was also managing our wedding, so he sent Phoenix there to end it.Up until now, Phoenix hasn’t come back yet, though I wasn’t nerv
HERMIONE’S POVAfter dealing with Mia and given that she was starting to get back to her senses, I had a doubt that she would end her life. However, whether she does that is all up to her, it will be all up to her decision, but it would be better if she didn’t do that. After all, death is too easy for her after all what she has done.She wouldn’t have only destroyed my relationship with Phoenix but also killed me and my son if we weren’t vigilant and fought back with her. She even managed to kill my brother who loves her sincerely, and also managed to kill her child mercilessly without hesitation.But for sure, she was regretting all her decisions. She got a taste of her own medicine.Suddenly, a warm arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer to his embrace as he buried his face onto my chin as he lightly patted my back.“Don’t think too much about those irrelevant people. Just continue to think of us, your family. We will be together from now own and I won’t let anyone destroy o
HERMIONE’S POVI tugged the hem of his clothes when I saw that he was seriously going to kill the five prisoners who had stared at me creepily earlier and was now trembling after Phoenix had unleashed his murderous intent towards them.“Don’t bother killing them. As you had said earlier, death is too easy for them after what they have done. Let’s go and met that Mia to get this matter solve as soon as possible so that we can go back to our room.” I calmly said while squinting my eyes at those five prisoners.Phoenix paused for a moment as if he was contemplating on killing them or not, but in the end, I managed to persuade him as we went deeper in the underground cell until we had reached the end of the underground where Mia was thrown inside.I looked at Phoenix and gestured him to put me down because I want face Mia alone, anyway I don’t have to fear what she would do to me because she’s already inside of the cell and that cell is enough to restrain her, plus there was even a chain
HERMIONE’S POVI tugged the hem of his clothes as I looked him in the eyes while panting, trying to catch my breath after he had kissed me deeply enough to leave me breathless.Seeing that I was having a hard time, catching up with him, he paused and reluctantly stopped kissing me.His thumb slowly wiped off the white thread that connects both of our lips after we had finished kissing and looked at me with a solemn look.“Did my previous self, kiss you the way I do?” He suddenly asked,That almost made me choked.I looked at him ridiculously. “What’s up with those questions?”“Answer me.” He solemnly replied without answering me.I raised my brows and was about to say something when I saw his dark eyes as his gaze felt like it would burn a hole on my lips and his thumb kept on brushing my lips.It suddenly occurred to me.“Are you, perhaps, jealous?”That’s not right, right? After all, he already knows that he is my mate, we are bonded together and the only problem was that he had lost
