A bright light filtered in through the closed curtains, I think. I can't seem to open my eyes because the light is so bright, and I can't hear the sound of the rain anymore.

'Has time passed so long? What about Rohan? Is he gone?' I pinched the bridge of my nose even before opening my eyes.

Part of me felt the pain caused by the realization.

“Ah, I'm sorry, did you wake up because of me?”

“Huh? Rohan?” I opened my eyes slowly and found that the strong bright light did not come from sunlight sneaking in through the curtains, but because the lamp next to the bed was pointing at me.

“I'm so sorry. I didn't realize I had knocked the standing lamp so it was pointing at your face. You can go back to sleep, princess.”

'What is this? Why is Rohan still here and… my room is still dark?'

I blinked slowly, and then slowly, Rohan's face began to appear clearly in my vision. He looks worried and guilty for some reason. If I were to hazard a guess, perhaps he felt guilty because he thought he had p

    “We've already spent a night together, and I've already imprinted you. You're my fated mate but you're in this ugly place, so of course you have to come with me! I thought you had accepted me completely, that's why you allowed me to embrace you, but."“Rohan, listen to me.” I ask softly.I think this is the first time I've heard him raise his voice when talking to me after treating me like a spoiled child all this time. His hug felt suffocating, and his words made my heart ache for a reason I've caused him.“No way… do you still have feelings of love for that bastard Alpha King? Is what happened in the hunting area not just an act, but you are for real?"I took a deep breath, turned my body slightly, and then cupped his cheeks. “Rohan, listen to me, hmm?”With a crumple on his face and a pleading look, he mumbled. "What is it...?"“First, I'm not stupid so I don't have even a little compassion towards a jerk like him, let alone love. Well, at least not in this timeline. I'm saying tha

    When I opened the other window, the fresh and cold air of the rainy season brushed against my skin.The fresh air, the warm sunshine, the sound of birds, and the warmth that spread throughout my body, Everything was perfect. Strangely, everything felt perfect even though I had to let Rohan go.I've been standing by the window, looking far away towards where Rohan had disappeared into the darkness of dawn. Still, with a dumbfounded face, I snort.“Whoa, I can't believe that he is Gruu. Whoa.”I've been mumbling whoa~ whoa~ for like half an hour since he left. I couldn't brush aside how smug his face looked when he saw me gawked at his transformation into Gruu, the wolf cub I thought was a guardian wolf in the Royal Palace. When I was about to ask my question, he answered it before even hearing it, like he could guess my thoughts as usual.[“Yeah, this is my divine ability. But only the tip of it.”]Even after he left with Gruu form, I couldn't wrap it all around my head yet. How could

    “Your Majesty,” Frau bowed his head as soon as he opened the door to Jermaine's room after getting his permission.“This better be worth my time, Frau.” Jermaine grumbled wryly, then asked. "What's the urgency?"Frau took a deep breath as he closed the door behind him. He stepped closer to the bed, trying his hardest to avert his gaze from Luelle, who was still covering herself with a blanket.Jermaine sucked his breath while ruffling his hair, then stood up, blocking Frau from approaching him closer. He asked again, close to a whisper. "What is it?"“…They have escaped, Your Majesty.” Frau said in a whisper.Jermaine raised his eyebrows as he confirmed what he had just heard. "They? The Northerners?”With a hardened expression, Frau answered. “…Yes.”Jermaine bit the inside of his mouth as he tightened his fists. He rolled his eyes with a twisted smile etched on his face. If it weren't for the presence of Luelle who was currently still on his bed, he would have chewed Frau with harsh

    Jemaine looked down at the woman in a maid uniform, kneeling in front of him. He recognized the woman without even having to see her full face. He's seen it for a long time, ever since Sashal first arrived at the royal palace to undergo the queen's education as his wolf princess. The woman has stuck with Sashal wherever she goes. In fact, the two of them have a close relationship similar to that of sisters, despite their differences in status.As stated by Frau, the woman who claimed to be the informant was Bella, the Queen's loyal maid. At least, that's what he thought so far."So, why did the Queen's loyal maid come to see me, especially when your master doesn't seem to know about your actions?"With her head still lowered, as if she was kissing her own knee, Bella answered in a trembling voice. “I… I need to convey something important regarding the queen's recent actions, Your Majesty.”“Right. I heard from Frau that you wanted to convey something regarding the Queen. But, why didn

    Yoanc turned the doorknob slowly. She curtsied as soon as she saw Luelle striding towards her. Luelle grabbed Yoanc's hand and immediately pulled her. She makes her sit on the sofa.With her arms crossed in front of her chest and a sulky look, she asked. “What took you so long to come to Luelle? Shouldn't you be next to Luelle as soon as I wake up, then offer me a glass of warm water?”Yoanc blinked slowly, then put on a friendly smile. She opened her mouth. “I apologize if I come late. There are several things that are holding me back in my family home, Your Grace. I ask for your understanding.”Luelle huffed. “Alright, as long as you understand. Don't do it again. Luelle hates having to hear people say that Luelle is nothing in this palace, all because someone like you doesn't do your job well to serve me.”Yoanc lowered her head slightly, hiding the twitch in the corner of her eye as she answered. “Of course, this Yoanc will not disappoint you again. Thank you for your grace, Your

    Luelle turned her head away while pouting. She fiddles with her dress while trying to say something, but her mouth keeps opening and closing without uttering a word. Seeing Luelle's timid behaviour after making her request, Jermaine sighed heavily.“Luelle, didn't we agree that you wouldn't have to deal with such troublesome work? Aren't you the one who asked to move to the Queen's Palace because you don't want to take care of the Concubine's Palace?"Luelle flinch. “Tha-that was because at that time Luelle was afraid of the Northerners, whereas now you have them imprisoned. Luelle can start taking care of my palace.”“Still, wouldn't that make things difficult for you?”“At that time Luelle didn't know many things, but Luelle could learn. You can call a teacher, or you can teach me yourself. Or, don't you believe that Luelle can do all that, too?”“I know you can do it, but it will tire you out. I don't want you to get tired just because of that trivial work. Have you forgotten what

    Sashal's expression turned grave, but a faint smile played on her lips.“Your Majesty,” Ruri held Sashal's hand, she said. “I don't feel good about this. Will everything be okay?”Sashal gave her a broader smile, but she could not answer Ruri's question even then. She looked at the door of her room. She asked Bella to come by her side, knowing that Jermaine's presence would not bring good news to her and the people around her. Sashal stroked her growing belly. She smiled every time she felt her belly grow, which she had never experienced in her previous life.'This is it, baby. It's time to finish playing house with your father.'Tadadag! The door opened abruptly, surprising Bella and Ruri, who also fixed their gazes at the door. Jermaine is still holding the doorknob, while his gaze fixates on Sashal. Behind him lined up several Royal Warriors, surrounding her in the corridor of her palace. “Queen,” Jermaine called out to her with a heavy tone. Sashal took one step forward, then c

    “Is that... really you?” Ruri asked through her gritted teeth, showing her rage towards Bella, who continued to lower her head as she stepped away.Sashal muttered. “Bels, tell me that’s not true.”Jermaine enjoyed the scene happening in front of him. His eyes shifted quickly from one side to another, following the person saying something. He smirked at the pathetic sight, where Sashal’s face seemed to darken.“She asked you, Bella. Why won’t you answer her?!” Ruri shouted and then ran charging at Bella.“Ruri, no!”But Ruri’s movements were stopped by Jermaine, who came, shielding Bella with his hands gripping Ruri’s neck. Ruri’s body was lifted for a few seconds before he flung it so hard and far that she hit Sashal’s work desk.“No, Ruri!” Sashal immediately approached Ruri, who was slumped weakly on the floor. Her neck looked red.Sashal glares at Jermaine. “Don’t you dare to hurt her.”“Well, I had no choice but to do it to protect my eyewitnesses. Isn’t that right, Queen?”Sasha

    “Ruri will come here?” Sashal sounded excited. “Yeah, she is. But I need to scold Menitto first for giving news about you to the other party.” “Come on, you know Menitto moved because of my orders. He did it because I wanted Ruri to also hear this good news on time.” Sashal pout. It melted Rohan's heart so much that he couldn't help but smile. “Alright, alright, you can have fun with your friends. But, are you sure you're okay?" “Yeah. Thanks to the herbal medicine I made, my body felt lighter after giving birth. And I recovered quite quickly." “You're still pale.” “But I'm fine, really. I know very well how unbearable the pain was after giving birth to Roschal, so I know that my current condition is the best.” Rohan frowned. "I still regret I couldn't keep you company during those hard times." “You don't have to. We just played our respective roles at that time.” Sashal kissed the back of Rohan's palm. “By the way, how long will Ruri visit?” “Ah, about that, I also want to di

    The night felt agonizingly prolonged, with each passing minute stretching their apprehension. It was only when the first light of dawn graced the sky, followed by the long-awaited sound, that a sigh of relief finally escaped the lips of everyone outside the room. With the rising sun, Rohan passes through the big door with a bouquet and baby Roschal in his arms.He arranged the flowers in a large vase quite skillfully, like someone who was used to doing it. It was unimaginable coming from an Alpha. After that, he sat on a chair next to the bed."How are you feeling, my princess?" Rohan stretched out his hand to caress Sashal's head.“It never gets better than this, dear,” Sashal answered with a chuckle despite her pale face.Watching Sashal's expression, Rohan couldn't stop himself from kissing her pale face. Not only he but baby Roschal also doesn't want to lose to his father. He hugged and kissed the face of his mother, whom he had not seen for four days. He did it well enough that S

    Not only do we have to fight the legendary creature for which we don't have the right answers, but we also have to fight against time. Everything seemed to be moving faster than usual, even though the Calamity had not yet been fully pushed to the point we agreed on. If it continues like this until the sun disappears behind the horizontal, then what we are trying to do will be meaningless.“We need more people on our side to make the Calamity come to that spot on its own accord, out of frustration.”Alpha Deen had the same thoughts as me. I nodded as I looked towards the Northern warriors. They glanced at each other. I could understand their hesitation about becoming the raw bait to lure the Calamity. Meanwhile, Rohan and the others on the other side didn't look like they were in good condition after fighting nonstop. It had been going on for over four hours, and time was not on our side.“I'll do it. But you know that with just one person, it won't attract his attention. So, you have

    Out of surprise, the steps that stopped suddenly slowly found their rhythm again despite signs of hesitation by the warriors. However, it was not visible from Alpha Duke Gustaav and Kaesang as they made their steps so clear. Seeing the fearless temperament of the two men, Jermaine became even more agitated.“How dare all of you! How dare you challenge me here!” He created even more duplicates of his wolf, probably hoping the Alpha Dukes would stop in their tracks.When Alpha Duke Gustaav and Kaesang stopped in their tracks, he smirked. He glanced curtly at me, then bared his teeth.“You guys aren't going anywhere. I'll make sure you receive the same punishment as that traitor!”“Traitor? Who?" Alpha Duke Gustaav retorted in a sharp tone. “Ah, you're talking about yourself?”"What?"“Your Majesty, ah no, nephew, don't you dare get in our way to fix the mess you've made.” Alpha Duke Kaesang warned."What are you talking about?"“Stop your damn whining, Alpha King.

    “Ugh,”As the ground began to swallow us, Rohan tried to lift my sinking body. He dug the ground around me with his claws while Ansel shouted.“It's me! Ansel! It's me!”He kept shouting those words out of his lungs several times as if that could stop what was happening.I couldn't grasp my mind as panic enveloped my whole body. I tried to only focus on getting the lower part of my body out of the ground while not burdening Rohan who managed to free himself from this terrible pull.“I'll get you out. Don't worry." Rohan kept calming me, who was starting to feel numb to everything around me, apart from the sound of my heartbeat, which filled my head.At that moment, like a miracle, the ground stopped rumbling all of a sudden. Like it never swallows us. 'Huh?'“Damn it! Finally!” Ansel cursed, but I could catch the tone of relief from his curse just now.Before long, I could understand why.Several people were standing on the surface of the land that had not collapsed, surrounding us. “

    “Beta Duke Avimelech, what is this madness? I'm sure now that you helped that woman escape, stage it as she died tragically. And there is also that Alpha. Hah, so you're also a traitor.” Gamma Marquise Blaine glares at us each, spitting bars of slander.There's a hint of fear in his trembling eyes, yet he dares to bark at us. I'll have to give him a round of applause next time.“Whatever you say, sir. You can accuse me of being a traitor or whatever, only if you get out of here safely, though.”“Guards!” With his calling, all the guards gather shielding him and his companion. “Did you just threaten to kill us all, Beta Duke Avimelech?!”Rohan bursts out laughing. “Haha, haaa… It's not us, you moron. Have you forgotten where you are now? The Calamity can easily swallow all of you. What a jester. And you worked with these clowns for years, dear?”“Exactly, my words.” I shook my head.“Wait~ What is this~ Have you all… haaaa, also see the former queen? Huh? Am I not the only one who saw

    A huge chaos and crisis was unfolding before my eyes. I still vividly remember how this small town alive even though the darkness of night shrouded it. But now all of that is engulfed in a big fire. We literally bathed in a sea of fire.The only reason why we were still fine despite the flames that enveloped us was thanks to Alpha Deen's divine energy. I'm not sure how his ability works, but it kind of protects us from being touched by fire.Even though I couldn't really feel the heat of the fire surrounding us, my chest felt tight, as if all the air had disappeared. My hands are shaking. And after a suffocating silence, I stretched my hand out to Rohan. He grabbed my hand.I can see this choice happening because of two possibilities. One, the desperate actions of the survivors to keep the Calamity away from them, or Jermaine ordering the burning of this entire city.This guess was reflexively projected in my mind because he often advised me to burn things he considered useless. He a

    “I should have seen this coming and put another guard beside him on your side. But picturing two men following you around everywhere ticks me off so much.” A low growl sounded out under his rough breath.I could understand from his gaze why he felt upset at this situation. I would probably feel upset if I were in his position. He is accustomed to leading people who obey his orders and put aside their personal ideas for the community's welfare. But now he meets someone like me as his Luna.In this part, I admit my mistake towards Rohan. So I need to do that to appease his upset. I glanced at Alpha Deen and Sir Rojja, who were acting indifferent, although I'm not sure if they were really indifferent to our conversation. I still have to do it even though I have to bear the shame for the rest of my life.I took a breath from my mouth, then let out the spell. “I miss you soooo much that everything in front of me reminds me of you. When I eat, when I sleep, when I look at flowers, when I lo

    After receiving solace after a long time from the letter written by Ruri, a painful realization came to me instead. Because what I consider a brief entertainment is a misery for almost everyone in Southern Olf. They lost two important figures at the highest level of command, who were supposed to help them reorganize the state order.Well, I don't know how they look at Luelle, whether they feel they can lean on her or even think of her as nothing. But it's different with Jermaine, their Alpha King.They have relied on the authority of the Alpha King for many years, from generation to generation. And so far, their life in Southern Olf is not so bad because of the sense of security provided by Alpha King's predecessors, then now by Jermaine and... me, to be honest.Knowing it's frail, it must be devastating as they can't hang on to Jermaine's rope. They must be afraid that the more they cling to the rope, the more they fall. Their best shot right now is to depend on high-ranking wolves f
