"This is my chance," Ivory said in a half-whisper. "There is no more time. I need to see Benjamin right away."Ivory held her babies until they fell asleep. She was carrying and laying Mackenzie and Isaac in their cribs. Ivory's sigh sounded full of heaviness. She had considered it, thinking about Benjamin's words earlier with a long decision.It led Ivory to the absolute path, agreeing to her deal with Benjamin. Ivory knew her decision was crazy. Triggering Max's most enormous anger, but what's the power? Ivory had no choice but to save Lyra's life and her little family and end this grueling war."I'm sorry, babies. I'm just tired of all this bloodshed, fighting, and endless infighting. Maybe through my sacrifice, this war can be stopped. All Seth wants is me, not Lyra. Suppose giving myself up can save everything. Then my decision is worth it." Ivory murmured, rubbing the tops of Isaac and Mackenzie's heads. "I don't know what will happen after I turn myself in. I'm hoping for a mir
"Now, what do you want?" asked Linea, hardening her tone. She screamed angrily. "I've followed all your orders! You said you wanted to get Ivy's blood to strengthen our power?! Why are you holding her captive now?! You said to build a mansion, especially for this woman?! Have you gone mad?! You broke your promise, Seth!"Seth laughed bitterly. He was still gripping Ivory's body in his arms. They slowly walked backward. "Who do you think you are, Linea?! Controlling or controlling me?! I told you many times not to be silly! We did everything as agreed, remember?! This is my goal! Getting Ivy back."Ivory hissed in disgust as Seth licked the recesses of her neck. It felt like she wanted to kick Seth's ass right now, but what power did she have. Seth's strength was too strong to resist. The more Ivory rebelled-the more Seth strangled her.Linea shook her head. Tears began to flood, stomping her feet in anger like a sledgehammer. Linea was hysterical while numb. "You're a liar! Then, what
"Just give up, Seth! There's no escape or running! Before the rest of us kill you!" scolded Mirielle, meaning what she said. "You are surrounded! You must pay for your crimes before the Goddess Amethyst!"BZZT!"Who do you think you are?! Because you're the chosen Elder who bridges the Moon Goddess, you think you can do anything?"Mirielle sneered, half-inflamed. "Don't you think of all the victims whose lives you have ruined? Packs who were innocent or guilty! Don't you think of the children who lost their families? I don't understand why you chose this poisonous path!"CLASSH!BLARR!"Don't try to understand me, Mirielle! I don't care about anything! As long as my goal is achieved, the revenge of my ancestor's death is avenged, and all those Pack groups you glorify are destroyed forever! In fact, I'm happy to destroy all of you until there's nothing left! Can you organize this world order or life according to your will?! Look at me! I'm in charge! Not even the Moon Goddess can do an
STAY!!!His arrow missed the other way when Seth broke it with a lightning bolt. Whether it hit the target or not, Ronan did not care."Look at me here, dumbass Rogue!" taunted Ronan with a crooked smile; he was deliberately provoking Seth's easily ignited emotions. "You idiot, no one can beat me!" raged Seth, continuing to launch all his attacks brutally. "You, useless Omega! Get out of my way!"DUARR!!!Ronan dashed away as a series of fire explosions erupted violently behind him. Leaping with long footsteps, he moved nimbly, deftly, and agilely. Maneuvering-it was not challenging to dodge Seth's attacks which gradually began to slow down."What's wrong with you? Why are you so slow? You can't even scratch me a little!" Ronan laughed in amusement. Once again, he shot two pairs of arrows."SHUT UP! It's useless! This arrow attack of yours won't be able to paralyze me!"DUARR!!!Ronan leaped high in the air, spun around, free-falling onto the fire-filled ground, and landed with both
A few years later..."Do you believe that, Max? Look at our children! They're eighteen now and—oh! Did you go through this too? What age did you turn into an adult?" asked Ivory when she realized the twins, Isaac and Mackenzie, had turned eighteen at five.Max laughed at Ivory's innocent comment. He then took her in his arms and gave her a quick peck on the lips. "At the age of three, I turned eighteen and underwent training from grandpa to accept his title as an alpha Alsenic pack. Didn't you experience that?""Do I look like a magical human like you guys?" asked Ivory, which was answered with laughter by Max."Well, that means we're very far apart in age. You should be older than me. Is that right?" Ivory nodded, then turned to Isaac and Mackenzie, who had finished breakfast. "But the fact is, you're still stunning as you're not aging.""I'm old now, Max." Ivory smiled and turned back to her children.Today both of them would enter the university. The first day would be tiring. Ther
A man with a well-built posture walked into the nightclub, which was full of uproar. He was sure he would find what he was looking for. It was like what Ange—an elder in his family—had said; he had to find a girl with the features she described in that place.His sharp gaze wandered around the dimly lit room, looking for a figure that matched the characteristics she had bagged.The first time, he directed his gaze towards the VIP room, where a girl with a similar hair color must have been there. It was impossible to imagine that a girl with such a luxurious appearance and extraordinary delineation was in the ranks of such an ordinary guest.The girl is not indiscriminate, especially if she's a club employee. Or those who enter using a free pass card."Hey, handsome. Are you looking for someone?" greeted one of the girls who passed by the body of the man who was still firmly in place. He didn't want to sit with anyone, except with the girl he was looking for. The man nodded."Is your h
"What do you want?" she demanded. Ivory took a knife from her bag and pointed it at the man who had saved her.This time was not the first time someone had questioned her hair color, so Ivory would no longer easily trust the man even though he had saved her life."Wait, don't get angry! I won't hurt you. I'll pay you handsomely. Whatever you ask for! But you have to do something for me." Max stepped forward, eroding the distance between himself and the girl. "Please put that back in your bag, Miss." The girl didn't immediately respond to Max's words. Instead, she slowly lowered the object in her hand. For a moment, the girl was mesmerized and hypnotized by the appearance of a man in a suit, sharp hazel irises, and brown hair styled slightly messy. She almost said yes right away. "What do I have to do for you to make such a high offer? I don't want to be a drug courier or human trafficker," she replied. "Not at all. I want you to release the curse on me." The girl chuckled. Unbelie
Sunlight streamed in from behind the curtains. The large glass windows allowed the room to be bathed in the warmth of the morning sun. Ivory wriggled slowly, trying to relax her stiff muscles. She let out a soft squeal as she felt her bones being crushed to a pulp. She looked to her side, but Max was not there. Where was he? "Good morning," greeted a man in his rich baritone voice. If people didn't know, they might think he was in his thirties, but he wasn't yet. "Hey ... sorry, I slept like the dead. Are you going to work?" Ivory answered with a nod from Max. The man sat down near Ivory, who had risen after wrapping the blanket around her chest. It must have been Max who put that thing on her when she fell asleep last night. After reaching their 'release', she felt drained and sleepy, then unconsciously closed her eyes. "I'll keep my promise." The man handed Ivory a brown envelope. "I'm not paying you as a prostitute; consider this a form of gratitude." "What about the curse?
