The time in the document was two years ago, which means that Aliyah is eighteen years old now. There are no new documents about the Angel organization, so I don't know any more helpful information about Aliyah.
Ryan howled in glee. Everything about Aliyah excites him. He wants to go out and find her to show intimacy and love. I try to stop it.
I got up and left the room. I want to find Aliyah. Not because Ryan wanted to see her but because I wanted to confirm if she really had amnesia. If she dares to lie to me, I can rip her mouth out as punishment.
Even though she's my mate, I won't give her special treatment since she's a hunter. I don't need a mate, so she's nothing to me.
'If you dare harm her, I will tear you apart!' Ryan growls, warning me. He knows what I'm thinking.
Before going to Aliyah's hospital room, I met a figure lurking in the hallway.
'MATE!' Ryan screamed and howled. I suppressed my feelings of being dominated by Ryan and hid in a corner to observe her.
Her expression was hazy, looking around and carefully moving. It seems that she is afraid of being discovered by others.
'She's been sneaking around like that and must have found a way out of here. She hasn't lost her memory.' I thought in my head.
When Aliyah approached me, I stepped out to block her way. She kept turning her head to look behind to see if anyone was chasing her so she didn't see me in front of her.
And she slammed into my solid chest muscles. As she staggered about to fall, I raised my hand to support her waist.
Our eyes met again, and I saw her eyes widen with panic. Those blue eyes suddenly engulfed my mind, and I couldn't take my eyes off them. The faint scent of mint wafts into the tip of my nose. It's sweeter and sexier than any scent I've ever smelled.
'Mate, mate, my mate!' Ryan howled excitedly again. He wanted to go out and perform the bonding ritual with his mate.
I recovered my spirit, tried to hold back my emotions, and let go of her. I feel I'm crazy. Maybe she did something to me with my wolf that made me so enamored.
Why do I want her to be my mate for a moment? I hate humans, and I hate hunters. I can't love her. Everyone in the pack will despise me if I say my mate is a hunter. Fortunately, I regained consciousness in time and controlled my emotions.
"Sorry for crashing into you!" Aliyah bowed her head and spoke in a soft and apologetic tone.
I was a bit surprised. She was different from when she was in prison. Did she really lose her memory?
On the surface, I kept my cool, "Aliyah!"
Aliyah raised her head to look at me, drawing her face in confusion as if she didn't know whom I was calling.
I sneered, "stop pretending! I don't believe you lose your memory so easily."
Saying that I suddenly squeezed her slender neck.
Aliyah screamed in panic. Her hands gripped mine tightly, and as she struggled, she explained, "Let me go! I'm not pretending. I don't remember anything. I don't know who Aliyah is..."
I squeeze more force, "I give you one last chance. If you continue to deceive me, don't blame me for strangling you!" Her face slowly turned red, and her eyes filled with tears, but she kept her mouth shut and didn't say a word. In her eyes, I see utter hatred.
'My Mate! I want to release her. Damn you! I will kill you if you dare to hurt her! Release her quickly, Charles!' Ryan screams furiously in my head. He was furious when he saw that his mate was about to be killed by me.
'Shut up, Ryan!'
'I won't be silent until you release my mate. I want to release her. Bastard.'
Ryan howled. He tried to control me to get out.
Ryan is a mighty wolf. He appeared when I was eight years old. At that time, I couldn't even control him and was directed by him. It took me a long time to tame him, and we lived together equally. Until now, he wanted to control my body because of his mate.
But now that I am no longer a child, I try to suppress his feelings of wanting to transform. We struggled for a while. Finally, I let go of Aliyah's neck before she suffocated to death.
It's not that I lost to Ryan but because I didn't want to fight him so pointlessly. Ryan also compromises when I spare Aliyah; he howls sadly.
Aliyah collapsed to the floor, coughing and gasping to regain the lost oxygen. At this moment, I saw a red patch of blood on her back.
My heart suddenly tightened as if someone was squeezing it. I feel like I'm feeling incredibly guilty and uncomfortable. I try to dispel those feelings, so they go away. I don't understand why I think this way.
I involuntarily raised my hand to help Aliyah get up. But when my hand was about to touch her, she pushed my hand away, "don't touch me!" She shouted in trembling.
I was a bit stunned but quickly regained my calm demeanor.
At this point, Serena came running from afar, "Sir Charles..." she exclaimed, extremely alarmed and frightened. It seems she is looking for Aliyah.
I said to Serena in a low voice, "why don't you oversee her to let her roam around here? If you're so careless, you don't need to work here anymore. Go to the logging area to work."
Serena fell to her knees, panicked, begging, "Sorry, sorry, sir! I didn't know she was running around outside... Please forgive me... I won't be so careless again. Please, forgive me this once..."
"Don't blame her. It's my fault that I left the room on my own. I'll take the punishment. It's not her fault. Forgive her." Aliyah immediately spoke up. Her voice was hoarse.
I raised my eyebrows. I don't think she can take the punishment for someone she just met for the first time.
Suddenly, an idea popped into my head. I will have Aliyah work beside me to monitor her actions. At the same time, I want to see how long she can suffer.
"Okay! From today, you will be my slave." I smirked and said coldly and left.
*POV AliyahI didn't expect that damn Charles would enslave me. It feels terrible to go from a hunter to a slave of prey. It was an insult to me. But I couldn't resist. This is the only way I can survive and get out of here.Lost in thought, I didn't notice that the woman in front of me had stopped abruptly. I crashed into her back, and the suit in my hand fell to the ground. It is the servant uniform I received this morning."Damn it! Don't you have eyes?" The woman's gruff voice resounded. She turned to look at me with angry eyes.Through Serena, I know her name is Ashe, who manages the enslaved people here. She is only thirty years old, but due to her hard work from a young age, she looks fifty years old. Her face was haggard, and her high cheekbones added to her stern and fierce look.I originally wanted to apologize to her, but her attitude made me highly uncomfortable. When she came to see me in the infirmary in the morning, her attitude was not good; she seemed to hate me when
The sun shines brightly on my white skin. The scorching heat of the sun made me sweat profusely. I felt highly uncomfortable looking at my palm covered with grass and dirty dirt. My hands that, once held weapons and were stained with the blood of damned wolves, were now in such a bad state that they had to be weeded. It's ironic!I was complaining while working, so I couldn't pull much weed. Until sunset, I could only uproot one corner of the yard. It's less than a tenth the size of this vast courtyard.Looking at the forest's edge beside me, my heart fluttered, intending to escape. I looked up at the window where Charles stood looking at me in the morning; he was no longer there. Around the empty land, there was no one in sight, only the sound of the wind rustling and the birds chirping in the forest.The image of being tortured with a whip popped into my head again. If they knew I didn't lose my memory, they would torture me again to get information from me. Although being beaten wi
"Fuck! Who are you? Stop!" A hoarse male voice shouted behind me.Only a madman would stand to be caught. I ran with all my might even though the wound all over my body was aching. At the turn, I continued to run straight without turning into the corridor with my room because it would be a dead end if I turned into that corridor.Reaching the stairs, I immediately ran upstairs without thinking. The two sentinels who chased after me still didn't give up.Thanks to the darkness and the many twists and turns, I had a chance to avoid their gazes and hide in a corner. I heard their conversation nearby without waiting for me to catch my breath."You keep looking! I'll go turn on the lights.""Ok!"In my heart, panic. If the lights were on, it would be hard for me to hide. The probability of being caught is ninety percent.While thinking, the footsteps got closer to me and stopped not far from me. I secretly watched him. He was slowly opening the door of a room. Perhaps the half-closed door
Early in the morning, Ashe came to where we were being punished. She boldly said, "Because someone broke the rule by going around at night voluntarily, but that person was not arrested, so everyone will be fined. The amount of work is doubled today. Everyone has ten minutes to return to their room and change clothes."As soon as Ashe finished speaking, there were many whispers and lamentations. People were standing all night and not getting enough sleep. Their strength was almost exhausted. Even a hunter with endurance like me felt tired and had aching feet.A few people pleaded with Ashe. They promised to make up for the work another day. But Ashe disagreed. She yelled and chased them away.I also returned to my room. Lying on the bed, I didn't want to move even a little; my body had no strength. Just thinking about weeding by hand makes me want to die.Thinking like that doesn't mean I really want to die. I have witnessed many deaths, so I always cherish my life. Most of all, humans
I glanced at Dante, who was standing solemnly beside me. He was the commander at this base while I was away. Dante saw me frown and understood what I was thinking. He sternly ordered the guard outside the room to "take this slave to Ashe to handle!""No, no... please, don't make me... I don't want to go... please... no... don't come near me... Nooooo..."The maid was gagged and dragged out of the room."What about this soldier?" Dante asked my opinion again."It's up to you to handle it!" I replied coldly. I want to avoid getting involved in small things like punishing my subordinates. Dante said yes and ordered the soldier to leave the room.At this point, only Dante and I were left in the room. I asked, "Isn't there a camera in the hallway?""It was installed in the past, but most of the base's technological equipment was damaged during the last riot. I sent a request to the center pack for assistance repairing and installing new equipment, but The money sent here is only half the r
After bathing for more than an hour, I calmed down. I changed into a neat and clean outfit and returned to my office.As soon as I entered the room, I was met with the image of a disheveled Aliyah sitting on the sofa. Her whole body was still wet, her hair messy, and her clothes and face smeared with dirt. In her hand, she was holding a half-bite apple; her fingers were still covered with mud, and her mouth was chewing. When she saw me, she was startled, hiding the hand holding the apple behind her back.I was dumbfounded for a few seconds. Even Ryan had no words to say when he saw this scene.Although I'm a cleanliness fan, I wouldn't like dirty things. Except when on the battlefield, I always want everything around me to be clean and tidy.When I saw Aliyah lying in the grass, I asked Ashe to tell her to take a shower before coming here to meet me. Because I'm afraid the dirt on her body will spill into my room. But now, it's not just mud; the dirty water on her body has wet my sofa
*POV AliyahOut of Charles' room, my heart still pounding, my hands shaking slightly with fear. Thinking back to when I had aggressively asked Charles to kill me, I felt so stupid. At that time, I was too excited to say those crazy things. If he really kills me, what should I do?I am stupid! I still know how to control my emotions in all cases, but I don't understand why when I meet Charles, I become so out of control of my feelings. He is obnoxious. I can tolerate anyone, but I don't want to put up with him at all.I was about to return to the lawn to continue working, but my stomach rumbling made me depressed. I could have taken the apple, but because I was angry, I left it. God, what stupid thing did I do?After thinking for a while, I decided to go to Serena's infirmary. I need some painkillers and some food to fight this hunger.Standing outside in the hallway, I heard many murmurs in the infirmary. There may be a lot of people in the room. They are all women."Ghost! Really? Th
Building B is small and much worse than the main building: old dark walls, many small cracks, murky air, and a musty smell. As soon as I entered the lobby, I could smell the food. I immediately followed the scent to the kitchen. Opening the door at the end of the hallway, I met eyes with a large, crowded, and noisy dining room. All the enslaved people and soldiers are gathered here for dinner. Everyone is focused on eating and chatting with friends, so no one notices me. Looking around, I didn't see Ashe, but I did see Serena in the crowd. She was sitting at a table with a bunch of enslaved women. Serena seemed to notice my gaze and looked up. She immediately stood up and walked towards me. “Did you come here for dinner? Come on, sit with us.” Serena said enthusiastically. I shook my head, refusing Serena's invitation, "No, I'm here looking for Ashe; she asked me to come to the kitchen to find her." Serena's eyes widened in surprise, "You've gone wrong. Ashe was only in the kitch
