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 POVA week had already passed ever since it all happened regarding the nightmares and the clinginess of Phoenix had already exploded to the highest peak of the mountain.“Why are you not going with your father?” I asked, while looking at him, who was clinging to me like a koala.“Nah, you're much more important,” he said while looking at me.He leaned closer and gave me a kiss on the lips before he added while putting his chin on my shoulder.“Are you really not going to put Mia back in her place? I think the person behind your curse was none other than her.” He said while rubbing his face on my neck.I slightly back away from his touch because I felt ticklish from it backed but whenever I backed away, the hands on my waist would tighten.“It doesn't matter for now, and besides, even if I won't look for her, for sure that she would look at me given what I had done to her so it doesn't really matter now anyway.” I nonchalantly replied while signing the documents.Of course,
HERMIONE'S POVI stretched my back as I let out a yawn but my sleepiness suddenly went away after remembering that I had already finished all of my tasks that were worth a week.So for a week, I can lie down comfortably and leave some of the matters to Megan. I will probably need to find a trusted assistant for her, so even if something happens to me, the pack could still go on to its usual happiness.Unlike what happened a week ago, the pack was having a hard time surviving on its own because Phoenix didn't leave my room, while I was in a coma, dealing with my own emotions as well.Which was the reason why the Alpha, who is Phoenix's father, gives a command to his beta-in-command to help Megan deal with the pack.It was a good thing that Phoenix's father had acted fast before the enemy could use Phoenix and my absence to grab the opportunity to strike to attack my base.For sure, that would be the same as what happened to Jacques’ pack when they were attacked by the barbarian.“Finis
