42. Scarlet This chapter is dedicated to EK77_M45. Thankyou for your support. Third Person's POV: Astrid found herself surrounded by pitch darkness from every direction; she assumed she had died and was now in the afterlife, but nothing made sense to her. She knew she was dreaming, but it seemed like, through her sleep, she was transported to another dimension between her life and death. She badly wanted to open her eyes and tried several times but failed. She couldn't even see anything, leaving her perplexed as to where she should go. She ran and ran, but even after what seemed like days, she couldn't find a way out. Occasionally, Rafael's anxious calls reached her, but her responses were futile. A glimmer of light appeared in the distance, and she sprinted towards it happily. The light remained, revealing a silhouette—a familiar one. That woman's figure was familiar to Astrid, and as she got closer and closer and the image became more apparent, Astrid's doubts were confirmed.
43. The Only Lycan This chapter is dedicated to WISEONG HANEUL. Thank you for your support —his Astrid was back. Though her breathing remained shallow, the fact that she had opened her eyes brought immense relief to Rafael. Unable to contain his joy, he enveloped Astrid in a tight embrace. "Astrid, my little dove. Please never leave me," Rafael begged. Eva was overjoyed as well. She was concerned about Rafael's reaction if something went wrong. Astrid felt as if millions of swrods were pierced in her body all at once, but when Rafael approached her, she felt life return. She wanted to say so many things but couldn't, and Scarlet was desperate for her first shift. Realizing that the pain stemmed from the impending shift, she realized there was a serious threat to her life if she didn't shift soon. Astrid mustered the strength to utter, "Open ground." "Huh?" Rafael took a step back from Astrid and

46. Feelings This chapter is dedicated to NICOLETA8905. Thankyou for your support. Astrid's POV: I awoke thirsty, and as soon as I opened my eyes, I was greeted by the most breathtaking sight imaginable. Rafael's warm breath brushed against my forehead as he held me close, as if his life depended on it. His mouth was slightly open, and I chuckled at how cute he was sleeping. Despite the world's turmoil, he seemed carefree, almost childlike—a stark contrast to his authoritative demeanor when directing others to protect Eva and me. I tried hard not to wake him up by turning around to check the time, but I had no idea what hour it was. We've been sleeping for how long? As I twisted, Rafael groaned, bringing me closer to him until I was literally lying on top of him. He had a firm grip on my waist. He nestled into my hair, put his head on my neck, and returned to sleep. An inexplicable churn in my gut overwhelmed me. God, he had a powerful effect on me. Despite our circumstances, I f

49. Clue This chapter is dedicated to Katrina Meyers. Thank you for your support ❤ Rafael's POV: I felt a surge of anger within me as I witnessed that jerk lay a hand on Astrid. The instinct to protect her coursed through my veins, and the urge to confront him almost overwhelmed me. Yet, a sense of satisfaction crept in as Astrid, in her own way, stood up for herself and taught him a lesson. My frustration spilled out, and I began to blabber about the emotions I had long buried. Before I could comprehend what was happening, Astrid abruptly silenced me with a kiss, and it was the best feeling. Something shook within me, and before I could realize what was going on, she drew away from me. The floodgate of emotions I had suppressed resurfaced, and I found myself backing her against the wall, holding her cheeks, and pouring all those feelings into that kiss. When Astrid answered with equal zeal, I felt encouraged, but our moment was cut short when Astrid pushed lightly and looked beh

79. Forgiveness and Leaving BehindAstrid's POV:"I didn't do anything; it was them," Cindy remarked, pointing to my stomach as my family entered the room. "Oh," Cindy murmured, pulling her fingers back.I scowled and stared at them. "What exactly are they doing here?" I directed my question toward Rafael."Astrid, we really regret anything we did. We can't even express how horrible we feel." I signaled with my hand for them to come to a halt and asked Rafael again.""'What are they doing here, Rafael, and why aren't you doing anything?' I said." "You shouldn't have allowed them to come in here in the first place," I told him."Come with me, Little Dove." He took my hand and led me into a room next to ours. He shut the door to give us the solitude we required."I know you are mad at me, but you don't know a few things that I do. To be honest, I was the one who determined they didn't deserve to live, but you have to listen to me out, and I'll leave it up to you. We'll do whatever you t
