His warm and rough palm enveloped my small hand, and my heart skipped a beat.
"Let's eat some breakfast?" Lewis asked with an affectionate tone before he gently pulled me towards the table. I obediently followed him. But deep inside, my mind was filled with a single thought that keeps on repeating in my brain.
'He... is holding my hand...'
'He is gently holding my hand... we look like a real couple...'
'Goddess...'
'No. I need to calm down. Lewis is only casually holding my hand before I stood there like an idiot and won't come to the table,' I thought. 'He's not holding it like a lover. See? This is just a normal gesture. I shouldn't be ahead of myself,' I convinced myself.
Although Lewis already marked me, it was clear to me that we only had a contractual relationship. He would protect me and help me achieve my goal while I would be giving him the information about
LEWISFor the past centuries, there were countless rumors surrounding the Pack of Talascar. Many werewolves were saying that my pack was the strongest pack in the whole world. Others talked about how secured our territory was and that the security here was even better than that of the royal palace.These rumors are correct.Indeed, the territory of the Pack of Talascar is the most secured place in all the realm and for the past century, no one has breached this security yet.‘Until today,’ I thought. My brows could not help but to furrow as I sensed the intruder who was moving fast towards our direction. And in just a few seconds, he finally arrived at the garden.Lia, who already sensed that someone was approaching us, had her eyes widened upon seeing the intruder’s figure.I stayed still on my chair, waiting for how Lia would react upon seeing
LEWISI blinked and immediately cancelled my aura when I heard Lia’s scream. I was about to move to catch Lia who was falling but saw her brother who just snapped out of my aura leaning forward and catching her in time. I narrowed my eyes but nevertheless did not stop him. Instead, I observed Lia to check what happened.Lia, who was already in her brother’s arms, was profusely blushing as she stared at the flat ground under her feet.‘Oh my gosh,’ I heard her think. ‘I tripped on flat ground again…’‘I must be the only werewolf to accomplish this…’‘Even in front of Lewis and his pack…’ she thought before covering her face with her hands. The feeling of embarrassment overwhelmed her inside.I blinked and the tips of my fingers slightly twitched.‘What… is with this cuteness,’
LEWISThe king of the werewolves was the most exalted werewolf in the entire land. All werewolves were bound to respect and obey all his orders. That was the golden rule in the werewolf realm. The king’s words are the law of the land and everyone must follow it. It sounded like a simple rule. But it was more complicated than that.In fact, a werewolf could only give his loyalty to one being – and that was not towards the king. A werewolf could only be loyal to his alpha. The master of his life.So how did the king manage to have the authority to reign over the entire realm? Simple. Because the king of the werewolves was in fact, the alpha of all the alpha.He ruled over the alphas while the alphas, following his orders, ruled over their subjects.Since a werewolf could be loyal to his alpha, he could never serve another alpha. Because serving another alpha was an act of betra
ADELIA‘Yesterday, I did not finish my sausages so that I could eat the leftovers for today’s breakfast. Who would have thought… that I wouldn’t be able to finish them today…’ I could not help but think as I looked at the various delicacies on the table.‘Even though everything looks so good, I wish to wait for Lewis and brother before eating,’ I thought as I observed the delicate looking pastries.‘But… their stares are getting hard to ignore…’ I sneaked a glance at the corner and saw at least five werewolves intently watching me with nervousness and anticipation in their eyes.‘Why are they looking at me like that? Don’t tell me… they want me to try the food?’‘Well… should I find out?’ I nervously gulped before reaching for the spoon. Then, I took a spoonful of the yogurt with fru
ADELIA‘Oh my goodness…’‘What was I thinking? Did I just have a… naughty thought about Lewis?’ I started to become flustered before taking the napkin that Alphonse was handing me. I had the urge to cover my whole face with it but controlled myself and merely pretended to calmly wipe the side of my mouth.‘Stay put, Adelia… although Lewis indeed marked you, he is still like your boss… you shouldn’t have any thoughts about him…’ I thought as I avoided Lewis’ eyes and pretended to eat.Lewis did not say anything more and started eating breakfast. Surprisingly, my aloof brother likewise started sipping a cup of coffee.The three of us fell into comfortable silence as if it were a rhythm that we used to have.Unfortunately, our peaceful breakfast did not last long because just a few minutes later, we heard a loud voi
LEWISLia suddenly stood up. Her formerly blushing face immediately turned pale. We were still connected through the mind link and I could hear the numerous thoughts and the various emotions that she was feeling. She was caught off-guard and was panicking. I felt a small throbbed in my chest.I stood up beside Lia before grabbing her hand, “Lia,” I called her name, but her thoughts were too preoccupied to hear me. At that moment, her emotions were overflowing and made me focus on her feelings instead of the thoughts that were running through her mind.‘How come you suddenly feel like this?’ I thought as I felt the intense anxiousness and helplessness in her heart. ‘What is it that you see for you to always feel these intense emotions?’ I closed my eyes before trying to ignore her feelings and focusing on her thoughts.‘Ahh,&
LEWIS“You have both my ears,” Halen said as he directly looked at Lia.Although he was always acting foolish, Halen could quickly judge the situation he was in. At that moment, he probably realized already that I called him here not because of myself but because Lia had something to inform him – and an urgent matter at that.Lia met Halen’s gaze and something inside me irked. Clearly, I was feeling irritated. I furrowed my brows at my extreme reaction.“Th-thank you, your highness,” Lia softly said. Even without hearing her thoughts and feeling her emotions, the tone of her voice could clearly indicate how nervous she was.I slightly narrowed my eyes.‘Foolish hierarchy is strictly being implemented in that dim-witted pack. She must be nervous about suddenly talking to this foolish prince,’ I thought to myself.‘Hmmm. Maybe I c
ADELIA“This matter is something that could affect the destiny of the whole werekind.”‘This matter… is the prince talking about the princess’ assassination? Or is he referring to my ability?’ I thought as I stared at the prince. Both answers could be correct.In my vision, the princess’ assassination was the starting point of the fall of the royalty. After her death, a problem that could ruin the entire family arose. And because of this internal struggle, they were not able to properly lead and protect the different packs from the upcoming attacks. Truly, it was not far-fetched to say that the princess’ death was the cause of the disaster of the werekind.On the other hand, my ability could be the key to evading these upcoming disasters. Thus, the prince could be referring to my ability when he talked about something that could affect the destiny of the werek
