The atmosphere of the palace seemed bustling. Many family members and relatives attended. By using an all-black and white concept, this party looks luxurious and elegant.
It turned out that not only Rena herself wearing a dress, other maids also wore it. They match the white clothes, but the motifs are different. Maybe Luna Irene wanted to make this night perfect. But Rena knew that the dress Irene gave was very different from the others, was it special.Instantly her confidence faded, she did not deserve to wear luxurious clothes like this. She should be just like everyone else. But if she didn't wear it, Luna Irene could be really angry.“Rena… Rena… Rena.” Wendy proudly stood in front of Rena and looked at the dress from top to bottom. Her eyes widened as Rena's dress was different from hers. Even though both are from Luna Irene's gift.“Where did you get this fancy dress from?” Her hand touched the white cloth and felt the softness there.Rena suddenly backed away not letting her clothes be soiled by Wendy's hands."Luna Irene."The short answer made Wendy's hands clench and her face turn red. She left Rena without wanting to get involved any further. The sound of pounding heels filled the ears and was ignored. Let Wendy assume with her own mind.Rena stepped into the main room which was used as tonight's event. The space that has been transformed into the most beautiful place dominated by black and white. Her heels wearing not too high looked for the king and queen in this way. She want to congratulate and apologize to Luna Irene about what happened this afternoon. Her eyes wandered around the room, the room was already filled with guests and relatives.“Rena, you are so beautiful.”A deep voice interrupted, she saw Theo looking her up and down. The man with the long hair tied up smiled amusedly."Thank you, Theo." Rena slightly pulled her lips, her eyes were still looking for Luna Irene."You're looking for Luna Irene?" the man asked.Only a mutter answered Theo's words.“Alpha and Luna haven't been seen since. Maybe still getting ready.” Rena looked at Theo's brown eyes and nodded her head, then walked away from Theo without another word.Theo was furious to see the maid's behavior, what a girl who did not understand ethics. He had been nice to say hello but the girl's reply made him hold back his emotions.***Rena looked at the middle-aged couple who were laughing as they cut a white cake that was about a meter high. You can see the look on Luna Irene's face is very happy side by side with Alpha Jonathan. Every year they do this event, but maybe this year is a special year. Where all the guests wear the same clothes as well as the waiters. No caste seen at this time, all the same.Rena pursed her lips as she smelled the cinnamon scent that was approaching her. Her heart always beats when the man shows his existence when he is not far from her. She eyes were still looking straight ahead, letting the thoughts and turmoil that had resided. She's used to it."They always look happy." The deep voice filled Rena's eardrums after a few minutes the man stood beside her.Rena confirmed that it was the truth."Are you happy?"Rena slightly frowned at Romeo's question."In the nine years you've been here, I've never felt that happiness again, Rena. You've changed me."Rena stroked her bare arms, sending a little warmth. When faced with this man, she was always like being scalded by ice water, very painful. Rena didn't answer, she listened more and more to what Romeo had to say."Aren't you satisfied with torturing me like this?" Romeo's soft voice froze Rena's body. Was she really torturing Romeo all this time? Isn't it the other way around."Go Rena. Don't you show that pathetic face of yours in front of my eyes again." The voice grew sadder.Rena was still looking straight ahead, seeing Luna Irene feed the cake she had cut to her son, Alpha Nickholas.“I always remember your words, Beta Romeo. There are times when I go from your presence on demand. The moment that happened you might never see me again was different.” Rena walked over to Luna Irene, wiping the tears that had fallen.Romeo's chest throbbed in pain, his hand squeezing the tuxedo hard. Will Rena comply with his request? Was he ready if the girl really left him on demand?Since then he had noticed Rena who was standing alone without anyone wanting to greet her. He is a little proud, Rena looks very beautiful tonight with a dress that fits her body. He hurriedly approached the girl wanting to give a compliment. But unfortunately, the heart and mouth can not be in harmony. He hurt her again with sharp words. Words that also hurt the deepest heart.Romeo took the glass filled with alcohol and drank it quickly. He had to clear his mind again. The man hurriedly left the party and went into the forest to calm himself.***Romeo is alone enjoying the quiet atmosphere. The evening breeze made the leaves in the lush forest float slightly. He left the Palace to calm down and didn't want to get too involved with the frenzy of the party, not really deafening but enough to make Romeo's chest tight.Not because of the party but the girl.In the past he was believed to be the strongest Beta after Beta Christopher with all tactics and careful planning. But as time went on he grew less and less self-conscious.The two buttons of his shirt had been undone, his white shirt had been rolled up to his elbows showing his tough muscles showing. A little jolt he hit the old tree until it made his knuckles red. The old tree that he and other friends used as a tree house is one of his favorite places. From up there he could see and even monitor the surroundings. A large tree with lush leaves seemed to hide the stopover."Bro," someone called from downstairs, carrying grapes and throwing them at Romeo.Romeo, who was surprised but because of his good reflexes, didn't let his favorite fruit fall and smashed to the ground. He groaned in annoyance and cursed."You didn't have to follow me this far, Jordan.""I'm only worried about you. Is it wrong?" asked the twenty-seven-year-old man. He easily joined the climb up the tree.Romeo snorted as he ruffled Jordan's hair. “Jordan…” Romeo stared far ahead imagining something.“Did you ever imagine what it would be like if you became a rogue and mingled with humans all the time?”A question that made Jordan flinch and look at his brother in confusion. "You never thought about getting out of the pack, did you, Bro?" Jordan asked warily at Romeo's unreadable expression.Romeo just chuckled this was just a joke and a question that stopped in his brain. Never once did he intend to leave the pack and everything. Maybe in comparison, he would rather die than leave the pack. Packyang has raised his name and family."Anyway, for what reason did I leave the pack and become a lowly rogue?" Romeo ate the grapes slowly."You're too old-fashioned. Not all werewolves who mingle with humans are true rogues. And not always the rogue disturbs the pack to make a mess. Many of them deliberately ask the Alphas for permission to go and live side by side with humans," Jordan explained."As time goes on, you don't always become like this, Moongoddess created us side by side with them so that we are not too greedy and neither are they," he added.Romeo is stunned, is he that naive?“Try to remember, when was the last time you left the Black Forest for your own pleasure with no frills errands you got? When was the last time you mingled with humans again for a long period of time?” Jordan looked at his brother. "It's been a long time, hasn't it, the last time you were in school."Right, what his brother said was true. Romeo is too late for the loyalty that has been nurtured. The task that had been there every second for the last ten years made him too late and forgot about his own pleasure.“I didn't envy you when you were chosen by Alpha Jonathan to be the strongest candidate for the Beta candidate, but what I'm afraid of is that you're turning into a ruthless man… like you are now. You and Alpha Niccholas are the perfect mix." Jordan sneered as he lay down.He remembered, when he had graduated from school and at that time was eighteen years old, Romeo and the others were randomly selected by Alpha Jonathan to be the strongest candidate to accompany the next Alpha candidate—Niccholas.The choice was because Beta Christopher had no sons and only had one child, Miss Noella."I have some of the strongest candidates who will accompany Alpha Nickholas in his future becoming a Beta." Jonathan spoke in front of a group of teenage boys who were playing swords in the palace courtyard.Everyone there just looked at each other and listened to the continuation."What's interesting is that Alpha Nickholas himself selected the candidates." Jonathan who saw Nicholas could only put on a flat face.“Danny, Theo, and Romeo. Prepare yourself from now on, because you will be guided for two years to develop yourself. One of you will be chosen to be Beta and accompany Nickholas. After that, the Alpha and Beta candidates will receive special lessons for approximately four years to explore leadership and power. You understand?" Jonathan's shout made the three teenagers nod."Okay, Alpha."Romeo leaned his back against the wooden wall. “You were just advising me, Little Brother?”"No, why am I advising you you know about yourself and your future." Jordan folded his arms under his head into cushions."You didn't go back to the palace?" Romeo asked when his brother had closed his eyes."No, a boring party in my opinion even though this year there is something different with everyone especially the maids who look pretty."Romeo nodded."Have you found your partner, Dan?" Jordan's eyes opened at the question."Not yet," he answered absentmindedly.“But maybe I should travel the world to find my mate. Actually, there has always been a pack member that I like." Jordan chuckled.Romeo frowned, his hand stroking the red knuckles."Rena, I like her." The warm smile that Jordan gave Romeo made the man pause.Rena?Jordan likes Rena? My brother likes that girl?Romeo's heart was beating fast, he quickly jumped from the tree house leaving Jordan alone. Jordan who saw his brother's strange behavior could only smirk viciously.Pathetic.Rena sighed. The white ceiling of the bedroom had been the center of his attention. She misses her father, mother, and brother, Ben. Since the incident that made her part with Ben and until now, she has never seen him again. What if she asked Alpha Jonathan and Luna Irene for permission to get out of the pack instead of looking for her brother. Indeed it is allowed. But, Considering that she would be labeled an ignorant person if she lived in the palace from thirteen until now because the pack had raised her. She was distraught. But among it all, there is a Beta Romeo that she really can't leave. Beta Romeo with all the arrogance that man has. Rena thinks that Beta Romeo will change over time and doesn't think of himself as a parasite in the palace but as a member of the pack ... mate. Her cheeks are puffy between sweet and bitter when faced with the man. Let Beta Romeo stab him with sharp words even if it hurts him greatly. At least she gave enough distance so that Romeo would not
Rena felt her cheeks heat up from Madam Morin's tight slap. It's also possible that the corners of her lips are bleeding a little, as evidence that she can taste salty. "I didn't expect you to be this brutal, Rena!" shouted Madam Morin holding Rena's ear. "Sarah, take Wendy to her room!" Madame Morin ordered when she saw Wendy's pale face and breaths still gasping for air. "Are you trying to kill your friend, huh?!" Shaking Rena's shoulders, it made her dizzy for a moment. "Please, Madam. Stomach nausea." She felt like throwing up when her body was shaken hard. Since waking up, Rena is not feeling well and has felt feverish. "Did I not teach you from a young age to respect everyone? Do you need me to teach you one more time, huh?!" shouted Madam Morin. "Please, Madam, forgive me." Her eyes were hot from the pain in her head. Morin, who let go of Rena, immediately rubbed his hands on the shirt. "I forgive you this time. Don't let Luna Irene know everything. I've covered enough of
Sunday, Early Autumn. Eliminating fatigue also gives a positive aura to other people. It's that easy. Rena should have never shut herself down because of the loss of her family. He should have been more grateful to be in the pack. Well cared for even in unreal terms. If she remembers, time flies fast for her to be here. She is already twenty-three years old. Rena glanced at the man handsome face beside her that had been watching her. "Is there something wrong with my face?" Rena looked at that face. While those who stared only shook their heads and smiled sweetly. "You're beautiful," The man said. Rena, who heard that, could only blush. Her gaze returned to the asphalt road. Was what this man said true? She smiled. "I hope we can always be like this in the future." Rena, who heard those words, blushed even more. She rarely interacts this intensely with men. She was especially sitting side by side. "Why do you wish that?" Rena wants to start everything from scratch and start as
Romeo is already very emotional with the closeness of Rena and his brother, Jordan. Sometimes with an innocent look, she teases Jordan to make the man look like an adorable cat. Plus, seeing the behavior of both of them is very sickening. Jordan did not play with his words from the start, even with Romeo's unpreparedness for Jordan's actions. He didn't want his brother to fall into that girl's naivety. He didn't fully trust Rena even though he had lived in the Palace for years. Romeo has always felt something strange, what made Rena lose to enter his territory. Wendy's words yesterday again bothered her mind. It was true what Wendy said, and everyone would assume that. Why is that woman here? Where did the whole family go? Why doesn't Rena see her family again? Or an orphan? Perhaps, Romeo's inner question could be a true statement. He saw how Rena was with innocence or stupidity that Romeo didn't know how to explain. He saw with his own eyes the sickening scene. Jordan rubbed R
Rena never imagines it dealing with blood-sucking creatures. She also never refused not to be afraid to face the immortals, whose age could be more than hundreds of years. Because according to Rena, if the vampire has targeted its prey, it will not be released at that time. Rena, who saw Romeo's action pushed hard against the vampire man's body, widened her eyes. She doesn't know if Romeo is that strong and only executes using one hand. Channeling the fear that radiated from her body made Rena feel a firm embrace. Rena felt Romeo's sharp glare to keep calm and trust her, but it was no avail. Rena hid her face in Romeo's chest. Her body shook violently, especially when she heard the dry leaves stamping where the man was hit. Her face looked up to see what he felt was getting more uncomfortable. "Beta Romeo." The sound that came out of her mouth was just a mumble that made Romeo understand. "N—no… no… no!" Rena's shrill scream made the night animals that seemed to be peeking fly eve
Rena cried, lamenting the fate she had felt for the past two days. She separated from her older brother, whose parents assigned her to look after her. I do not know how many kilometers she had walked through the forest to seek help. Her stomach was already sore. Only forest fruits were able to fill the void. She was even more afraid because she had seen other creatures in the forest several times and luckily managed to hide. She did not want to be food for all of them. She wants to live and meet her brother someday. The growl made Rena's conservative attitude tested again. She was running away without looking back. But suddenly, her legs were pulled violently from behind, making Rena fall, but she didn't dare to scream. Her hand reached for a grip and couldn't. Rena was drawn more and more and went for the dry leaves as a handle. And understand that she's finally caught. "Please don't," Rena whispered as her eyes were still closed. Sharp branches have scratched the front of the body
As comfortable as someone else's palace, more comfortable own palace. That's a saying that Rena often hears. She remembered, just closed her eyes and enjoying the beautiful light of the night sky. But a few seconds later, the water was soaking all over her body. What is wrong? Or is it raining on the earth?Her eyes blinked at the piercing glare. For a moment, she couldn't even stand up. How long had she been asleep sitting up?"I looked for you here and there, but here you are. Don't you feel that the sun
Rena had been in the hospital for two days, and Jordan, who takes care of her. Even the man did not hesitate to spend the night there too. After an embarrassing incident that Rena herself doesn't know how to tell, she only remembers falling asleep in the garden and the voice of Madam Morin waking her up. She saw Madam Morin carrying a black bucket and pouring all the contents into her body. She, who was cold after that, fell asleep in the room peacefully without wanting to listen to the noise outside. Rena had asked Jordan what was going on, but the man's answer was unsatisfactory. "Gania saw you enter the room after being scolded by Madam Morin. I knocked on your door, but there was no answer. You passed out." Yes, that's how Jordan explained. She couldn't help but thank you for worrying about him, considering that all the pack members didn't care about him. "Jordan," Rena called Jordan, who was still playing with his cellphone on the sofa where the man was sleeping. "You can go
