**Estelle's POV**
I hit them with the rock that was in my hand. It hit their heads perfectly, especially on the first hybrid's head. He instantly died on the spot while the second hybrid didn't die.
After finding out his smart friend died, he seemed afraid of me. He was stupid so it was easier for me to intimidate him.
“Don't you know that I have obtained a divine power?” I said. “My voice that was lost has returned. It's because I have more power than you guys. Look!” I pointed at the first hybrid that died. "In one blow he was dead. Now I'm tired of waiting. I will kill you too and then will eat you!”
I jumped up to make a dramatic move as if I were some wild beast wanting to tear his body apart and eat him.
It managed to intimidate him. So, he sprang up, running scared.
"Tch, it turns out they're ju
**Estelle's POV**I felt my heart drop when suddenly someone came through the back door and jumped in front of us. I thought it was an enemy until I finally saw who it was.“Prince!” I whispered and kept my voice high.Prince had been chuckling, but after hearing my voice, he froze."He's been hiding around my house all day," said Doctor Gordon nodding at Prince. "So, I think he was very surprised to find you started to talk, Estelle."I smiled at Prince after hearing that. "Are you surprised I can talk?"He covered his mouth and took a few steps back. I chuckled at that. “You… Is this not a dream?” And he smacked his cheeks repeatedly, wanting to wake himself up if this was a dream."I understand your reaction, Prince." I hit his arm lightly. “This is very surprising, right
**Alpha Cedric's POV**Estelle could already speak!Oh, it felt like a dream!All this time I imagined what her voice would sound like, and often I even reflected on her voice by remembering how she moaned all this time. Hearing her voice when she spoke was like the deepest dream I’d ever had. It felt so real but sometimes it was easy to forget.“Estelle,” I choked out, looking at her with a big smile. I couldn't even find the words to express how happy I was right now.In the end, I said nothing. I pulled her and hugged me very tightly, carrying her in my deepest love.Did she know how much I loved her? Did she know I was even willing to die just to protect her? All my efforts to make her happy reflect all that. And now she could talk. I could hear her voice, and she gets what she wanted."Yo
**Alpha Cedric's POV**“Princes! Why is he here, Cedric?” My wolf roared and stamped his foot. Strength and anger mixed. He pushed my body and legs to do what he wanted: lunged at Prince and made him faint.Estelle widened her eyes at my angry expression, then turned to Prince's shocked expression. Being in the middle, she was caught between us. “Al-Alpha…”"Why is he here?" I asked in a high voice. “And since when was he here?!!!” I narrowed my eyes, looking at Prince as well as Estelle.“Hey, doesn't he look very familiar?” My wolf was a reliable observer. He could find similarities between two identical twins. And it was researching what he could find out from Prince. "He looks like someone."I narrowed my eyes to think. Now I observed Prince's appearance, from his hair to his shoes. But after a
**Alpha Cedric's POV**Tens of footsteps surrounded us, surrounding us from all directions!The leaves of the gigantic plants blocking the sunlight light us up nicely. It was still the middle of the day, but it felt like we were exploring in the late afternoon.Prince drew his sword and shouted at his members, “Prepare your weapons! Maybe it's the hybrids!”I could see the fear on the members' faces, as well as mine. But I assured them that there was nothing to be afraid of.“Have you guys forgotten that I carry the strongest weapon?” I said to my members. We stood in a circular formation, back to each other. While the footsteps were getting closer, more and more.I looked around warily, trying to find the nearest enemy position. Now neither of us was cutting down those gigantic plants. We focused on saving ourselves.
**Estelle's POV**I studied Alpha Cedric's hands. They looked fine, didn't even have a single scratch.Then I turned to Doctor Gordon, trying to come up with an answer."This is very strange." He rubbed his chin occasionally, still studying Alpha Cedric's hands. "Where did you get the poison?""Here." Alpha Cedric pointed at an area in his right hand.I was not very a good observer. But I watched that point with focus. And still, I found nothing. Was he lying? I was sure he was not lying.“You should have been seriously injured from that poison. And even though you won't die, since they've been crippled, at least your hands will leave scars.”Alpha Cedric frowned in surprise. "Really?" He checked his hands. "But it's fine.""Yeah, and that's what confused me."
**Estelle's POV**"Why is it interfering with my therapy, Doctor?" I got so nervous when I imagine bad things. Was Doctor Gordon going somewhere that I had to stop getting therapy? Or would this research process injure him so he would have to pause until he recovered?My wolf matched my worries. It even cried when imagining our bleak days back. My ever-growing voice seemed meaningless to it."Are you going to stop doing therapy on Estelle?" It was Alpha Cedric who was most definitely against the idea. I could understand it. He paid for all of this. Besides that, I was sure he hoped I could quickly return to the pack.Doctor Gordon shook his head and denied our worries. "I'm not going to stop the therapy. I'd still do it but maybe some of my therapy schedules would be reduced. I should spend more time on the research I'm doing. This is in the common interest.”
**Estelle's POV**A man emerged from the darkness of the forest with a head full of blood!I suddenly trembled as I wondered who that man was. Two of Doctor Gordon's students grabbed the firewood in each hand. They were agile enough to deal with dangerous situations, indicating that this was not the first time."Go!" snapped Doctor Gordon. His booming voice made the two soldiers who were supposed to be guarding me suddenly startled.Then they turned to Doctor Gordon, turning in the direction where Doctor Gordon was looking. Immediately they knew what we were dealing with.They raised their swords respectively, dashing to approach the bloodied man, probably about to draw their swords to death.But Doctor Gordon forbade them to hurt him. “Bring him here alive! I will ask him something!”Doctor Gordon'
**Alpha Cedric's POV**“Damn Scarlett! I will kill her!” Roland couldn't contain his anger. He had wanted to go to Scarlett's house to slap her.But I endured him. "Don't let her know anything about my mission, Roland!" I said, staring at him seriously.He groaned because he knew there was no way to refute me. “But she almost killed Estelle, Alpha. Are you going to let her do this?” He pointed at the letter in my hand.“She failed to do so.” Although I was also very angry. “If we get too hasty, I'm afraid she might just mess things up. You know I've worked hard to get to this point, right?" And I thought again of Estelle.Finally, Roland gave up. He rubbed his forehead roughly then forgot the letter I had received from Estelle. He packed a few more things and tried to ignore me. It didn't take long before he st
**Estelle's POV**Someone came to celebrate me and Alpha Cedric's arrival. And she was Scarlett.She came with flowers as if she cared about me. She handed it over to me but her gaze seemed to hate me so much. “Welcome, Estelle! I heard cheers along the way when I was at home. And it turns out you've come back. So, how's your treatment going?"I was sure she thought my therapy was a failure because I came home before my pre-arranged schedule.Alpha Cedric grabbed my hand so I didn't have time to answer him. He whispered, “Ignore her! Come on!"So, I obeyed his orders. As my feet moved away, Scarlett chuckled, "Why are you avoiding me as if I'm a threat to you?"Alpha Cedric frowned. He must have thought Scarlett was crazy. No one here considered her a threat. She was just a useless louse.She walked
**Estelle's POV**“Alpha, why didn't you answer me? You're free from the curse, right?" I was worried when I asked that question, worried that I might end up getting an answer I didn't expect.Oh, we'd found the one who cursed us. Alpha Cedric had beaten them. In the classic case, our curse should have disappeared right? So why didn't he answer me loudly and confidently? He just looked down, looking very sad."You make me think that the curse hasn't been removed from your body." I wanted to cry when he finally looked up and held my fingers as if giving an instant answer.Doctor Gordon left us for a while. He reasoned that he wanted to get drinking water from his earthen jug, which was placed in the kitchen. It gave me time with Alpha Cedric. I thought he did that on purpose so Alpha Cedric could talk to me freely.Alpha Cedric looked me straight
**Alpha Cedric's POV**We were cornered because of the many hybrids surrounding us. And if we sprayed them with a paralytic potion, it might not work completely.Our backs were pressed against each other, keeping no gaps for the enemies.“Alpha, do you think we’re going to die?” he asked. He didn't sound scared at all, instead, he sounded very gentle and calm.I wouldn't believe it if I didn't hear it with my ears."We will not die!" I dodged when a hybrid tried to spit at me. "We will definitely win." I whistled. It echoed across the walls of the cave and must have been heard by all of our soldiers.Soon they appeared, hanging in various places. The cave had holes so they could slip in between. While a few of them charged through the entrance."Attack them!" The Gammas shouted. They sprayed t
**Alpha Cedric's POV**Alpha Daren was standing behind the gate, waiting for Prince and me. Did they already know what I mean? I didn’t think so."Welcome, Alpha," said Alpha Daren welcomingly. He let me in.I got out of the car and followed Alpha Daren. He led me to the guest hall. I was not sure why Prince accompanied him.“Please sit down, Alpha!”I nodded and sat down in a comfortable chair. As usual in front of me was always filled with delicious and fresh food. A pitcher filled with very fresh water. I chugged it all and wiped my mouth."It's amazing that you came without making an appointment, Alpha. Is there a serious problem going on?” he asked.Without responding, I pulled out a report document to him and handed it over. I glanced at Prince, giving him information signals. But
