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. If you can't control y
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
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
“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
Sashal watched her figure from the reflection in the window. Something was missing from her, she thought. "Ah..." She put a crown on her head. Now, It's just like her. The crown suits her. Her gaze dropped. She caress her protruding belly while muttering something through her clenched jaws. Sashal's green eyes were filled with remorse. The sun shone through the window and unto her beautiful face, which looked like a doll. But Sashal could not feel the warmth of the light. So were the fancy dress and the crown of a noble queen, which seemed to be all meaningless. 'Shan, the full moon is almost here.' She spoke to her wolf, who decided not to respond. Sashal grinned wryly. “Are you sulking now? Sorry because you can't taste the full moon all this time.” From within her, a surging emotion suffocated her. -“FIGHT! What are you doing just by standing still like this?! F#ck them porky!”- Sashal's wolf, Shan, had her refreshing curse. Sashal often wonders if maybe Shan is a dark man
She felt like she was falling into a bottomless abyss. The feeling of being swallowed up in an endless darkness felt more comfortable than she initially thought. Whatever it was, it was better than when she existed as a hindrance between her husband and Luelle's sickening love affair. She hopes she will not wake up from this sleep if possible because hell is the only place to wake up. But, 'F#ck!' -“Sashal, are you up? You slept long enough this time.”- "Shan?" She returned to the sickeningly damp prison that had held her captive, again, for the 9th time. Instead of dying, she always returned to Sashal's five-month-earlier self. -“Hey girl, are you okay? Your internal condition is kinda…”- Shan, her wolf, never remembers their time loop experience, even for the 9th time. This is her 10th life after nine-time loops. It's so sickening. She returned five months earlier before being executed in the capital's plaza. When she spent four months in this prison because of the rogue gro
What am I doing at this moment in my second life? I cursed at her after getting off the carriage like a madwoman possessed. I grabbed Luelle's hair and ordered the guards to lock her in prison. I screamed at everyone, telling them that I knew Luelle was carrying Jermaine's child. I'm so hysterical. That is my first loop. Thinking it was my second chance to get rid of Luelle, who had snatched my husband away, I was branded as crazy by everyone instead. My end is the same as my first life: death. In this life, how should I react? "I'm tired." A complaint escaped from my parted lips. "Oh yes, you must be tired, Sashal." "Let's get you inside first, Your Majesty." Ruri, my other lady-in-waiting, responded. “Our queen, you have experienced a terrible incident. Please rest assured now. We will protect you.” I'm happy to see Bella again but too numb to express it. "My queen, let's check your health first." That was the first sentence Jermaine said to me. It never changes. "Ng,"
"I see, so you don't know him either?" Bella looked guilty. “I will put all of mine into finding out about that silver werewolf! Seeing that he has an unusual fur color, I think I will quickly find him for you, Your Majesty!” I chuckled. "No need, Bels. Now I want to sleep alone." "That... Please don't take those people's whispers to heart, Your Majesty." I smiled at Bella. But my smile doesn't seem to relieve her. I looked up at the familiar ceiling of my room. People assume I've been out of my room for four months, but that's wrong. Until four days ago, I was still staring at it before being interrogated in the dungeon, then sentenced to death. I'm tired. I don't want to fight this time. Days passed. Jermaine hasn't visited me at all since that day. The maids and my lady-in-waiting comforted me by saying that Jermaine was too busy. “The Kingdom is currently undergoing military aggression with the Northern Kingdom over neutral territory. That is why His Majesty has not had the

“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
