.....
Lilith returned to the chamber where she had been previously. She simply moved without being aware of it. She appears to be under Colt's command. And, despite her desire to flee at the time, she remained inside and awaited the auction's end.
Colt, on the other hand, returned to the auction hall with Tio, his business partner. His mind was racing with thoughts about Lilith. He is both perplexed and intrigued by Lilith's life. He has no idea why she has such an impact on him.
Tio said, "Dude, you're zoning out." Then he taps Colt on the shoulder.
Colt inquired, "What is it, Tio?"
"I said, aren't you going to buy anything other than that woman earlier?" Tio questioned, smirking.
Tio is making fun of Colt. He had been Colt's business partner for almost seven years and knew a lot about him. Tio was also aware that Colt is a werewolf, although Tio is a regular human. Despite the fact that Colt is not a normal human being, he accepted him. Apart from that, they treated each other as brothers.
"Are you still looking for your mate?" Tio teased Colt. "So, you found her now, am I right?" He also knew Colt was looking for a mate all around the world.
Colt sneered at Tio and hissed, "Shut up, dude."
Tio, on the other hand, simply laughed at him while tapping his shoulders. Colt simply disregarded him and returned his thoughts to Lilith. He can't seem to get his ideas out of his head. It has been bothering him since yesterday.
The auction then came to a close. One by one, everyone in the hall began to leave. While some of the auction's winning bidders, including Colt and Tio, headed to the conference room to claim their items.
During the process of assembling all bids in the conference room. Lilith, on the other hand, was waiting in the conference room's private area. The auctioneer's boss then takes a position in front of everyone.
"Thank you all for your cooperation," the man said. "We are now here to distribute the items you purchased; please wait until we call your number."
The emcee then began calling out the bidders' numbers one by one. Everyone is ecstatic, and Colt could sense everyone's yearning, but he kept mute and patiently awaited his turn.
The emcee exclaimed, "Number 69!"
"Congratulations, dude," Tio congratulated Colt.
Colt simply nodded and took a step forward, walking towards the front of the conference room, where the auctioneer and the emcee were standing. Colt is now going to claim his grant, Lilith Saaverde.
Colt was then led by one of the bodyguards to the secret area where Lilith was hiding. When they arrived at the private room, Colt was guided by the bodyguard who unlocked the door for him. Colt then walked inside and shut the door behind him. Later, he spotted Lilith sitting motionless at the foot of the bed.
Lilith's anguish was palpable to Colt. As he began to walk towards Lilith, he sighed. On the other hand, Lilith was completely unaware that Colt was approaching her. Her deep thoughts were taking up too much of her mind. She is sobbing quietly.
Colt stood up in front of Lilith and said, "Stood up, Lilith. We're leaving."
Hearing Colt's voice startled Lilith. Her tears got more audible as she became more afraid. Colt was struck by Lilith's terrible thoughts. He has no idea how to get Lilith to stop crying, and he is slowly being suffocated by Lilith's gloomy emotions. He can't stand the level of darkness in Lilith's room.
Lilith begged, "Please murder me," as she sobbed loudly.
Colt became agitated. He can't think of anything to say. He's at a loss for words when it comes to comforting the woman in front of him. He has no idea why Lilith is acting so strangely. He is perplexed and confused at the same time.
He is now second-guessing his decision to buy Lilith. He has his doubts. He's considering backing out now and reclaiming the money he paid for Lilith. But then his instincts told him the opposite way. His gut told him that he needed to keep Lilith and take her away. As Colt despised the thought, a wave of rage washed over him. He's quite irritated.
While Tio waited outside the room for Colt, he became impatient. He then proceeded inside the room, where he noticed Colt's tail emerge from behind him. Tio was taken aback and hurriedly approached Colt.
"Calm down, dude," Tio murmured quickly as he placed his hand on Colt's shoulder.
Tio knew what Colt was thinking when he revealed his tail. It meant he was about to kill Lilith at that very moment. Tio realizes that if he hadn't arrived, Lilith would have died by now. Colt gradually regained his composure. His tail vanished.
"Force this woman to come," Colt commanded as he swiftly walked out of the private room.
Tio sighs and turns to face Lilith, who has been crying. Tio felt sympathy for her. He has no idea why Lilith is crying, but he is aware that she is in horrible shape. Tio notices that she is depressed.
Colt, on the other hand, sat in the car parked outside the establishment where he had been earlier. He's been waiting for Tio and Lilith.
Tio emerged from the building with Lilith after a while. They both got into the car with Colt. Lilith is alone in the passenger seat, while Tio is in the driver's seat and Colt is in the shotgun seat.
Colt was aware that Lilith was still crying quietly, but he chose to ignore her. He doesn't want to be out of control again, like he was the last time. Colt believes that he must not let his rage control him.
Tio, on the other hand, was uncomfortable. He dislikes the atmosphere inside the car. Despite this, he is powerless to stop it.
Tio is aware that Colt is enraged.
….
.... Colt is still awake in the morning. He couldn't sleep after the auction and until they arrived at his residence yesterday night. He's been keeping an eye on Lilith since she fell asleep last night. Lilith was also the reason Colt couldn't sleep since she was experiencing nightmares, and when Colt heard her yelling for help, he ran to her room to check on her. Then Colt learned that Lilith was experiencing nightmares that night, so he stayed up all night to keep a watch on her. After a while, Tio arrived. He went out and got Lilith new clothes, as well as breakfast for the three of them. "How are you doing, Colt?" Tio inquired as he placed the stuff he had purchased on the table inside Lilith's room. Colt said without glancing back at Tio, "She was experiencing nightmares."
.... "Do you need something, Lilith?" Tio said as he moved his gaze to her position. When Lilith heard Tio's voice, she took a quick step back and was about to close the door. Lilith came to a halt and cast a sidelong glance at Tio, who was already staring at her. Tio, on the other hand, was perplexed by Lilith's actions. That's what Tio is thinking because she appears to be terrified. "What do you want? Just tell me, don't be scared. If that's what you want, I won't go near you," Tio stated earnestly. "I-I-I want water," Lilith stammered, her gaze shifting to Tio. Lilith does not want to be discovered by Tio while attempting to flee. She is so terrified that she fears Tio will harm her. She has no idea that Tio is merely concerned about her well-being and wishes to assist her. "All right, wait up," Tio remarked as he rose from his
.... When Lilith noticed Colt's feet approaching her position, she began to cry. Her tears became increasingly loud as her body trembled in fear. Every time someone approached her and spoke to her, she was instantly terrified. Colt, on the other hand, continues walking despite hearing Lilith's quiet screams. He then knelt and looked down at Lilith, who was hiding beneath the kitchen table. "My name is Colt, and I was the one who bought you," Colt explained gently. As Colt discovered Lilith trying to flee again, he was angry at first, but when he heard her weeping, he softened. Even though Colt wanted to scream at Lilith, he couldn't because he didn't want his emotions to be engulfed by remorse. Furthermore, Colt believes Lilith has a cause for her sorrows and anguish. That's why he forced himself to ignore his wrath, which was slowly growing up inside him. He doesn't wa
.... "Is she all right?" Tio inquired at Colt. They were having breakfast together at the time. And Tio was perplexed since Lilith seemed to alter a little in his view. Tio is also intrigued about what happened the night before when he fell asleep, as he has seen that Lilith is now more approachable than before. As a result, he couldn't help but ask Colt. "Just eat, Tio," Cold stated emphatically. "Is Lilith all right? She seems to have changed," Tio inquired once more. He's curious about what transpired between Colt and Lilith. Colt said as he scanned the newspaper, "Stop asking. If she hears you, you might terrify her again." Tio, on the other hand, continues to question Colt. Even though Colt was completely ignoring him, he insisted on talking to him. On the other hand, Lilith heard Tio's voice. She then puts down her fork and listens to Tio's
.... "Alpha, we located him, but he concealed himself within the town's Orphanage," Minerva informed as they bowed their heads slightly in front of Colt. Colt then let out a long sigh and fixed his focus on Minerva. Colt inquired, "Where exactly was he?" "Near the house you used to live in," Minerva said. Colt didn't say anything after that, and Minerva knows he was angry at the time. She doesn't want to accept that they didn't carry out their work, but she can't just quit up. Minerva's purpose as a scout was to impress Colt, which is why she worked so hard at her job. "But Alpha, we can still deal with him; we've already set up traps for him, and by tonight, we'll get him," Minerva said, her gaze falling on Colt, who had turned his back from them. "Do what you think is right, and if you need anything, contact me," Colt said
..... As soon as Lilith stepped out of her room that morning, she asked Tio, "Where is Colt?" Tio then cast a peek at Lilith, who, as usual, was not looking at him. Tio was accustomed to Lilith's actions and how she spoke with them. "He went out to buy some stocks; do you need anything?" Tio asked, continuing to type on his laptop. Tio couldn't attend his business meeting because he was out of the city. He worked from home, which is why he always had his laptop with him everywhere he went and whatever he was doing. He was also in charge of Colt's business. Tio was Colt's only human best friend, and he's always been willing to aid him no matter what. He couldn't ignore Colt because he was so dedicated to him. Lilith said, "I want to walk around the forest." Tio, immersed in his laptop, commented, "But Colt already took you their last night right?" Lilith then took a seat on the couch, not far from Tio's spot. Lilith simply desired to return to the woods. She can't deny the beauty
.... When Colt returned home, he detected Lilith's scent in the direction of the forest, as well as Tio. Instead of entering the home, he went straight to Tio and Lilith in the woods. Colt could see Lilith picking up some flowers from afar. Tio, on the other hand, was preoccupied with looking around. After inspecting Lilith, Colt returned to his house. Even though it was still early in the evening, he cooked dinner for them. Then, after a few moments, Lilith and Tio returned to the house. Then they discovered Colt had already arrived and was in the kitchen and already cooking. Tio then walked over to Colt and tapped him on the shoulder. "How long have you been here? Why haven't you told me?" Tio inquired as he saw Colt's prep. Colt replied, "Nuh. I just arrived a while ago." He was busy cooking at the time. Lilith, on
.... Tio and Colt were up early the next morning gathering their belongings for their camping trip into the forest. They also got up early because Colt wanted to speak with Tio about some personal things. As he sat down on the couch, Tio stated, "I'm delighted you found that suspicious man." Colt, on the other hand, was still diligently filling the basket with snacks. Then he turns around to confront Tio. "However, we must be cautious because that man may have already informed his allies about me, putting you and Lilith in danger. So, always stay here. For the time being, you two are safe, but we don't know what might happen next," Colt explained before returning his attention to the foods he was preparing. Tio was terrified. He fully comprehends what Colt is saying. There's a chance that other werewolves will attack them, and there's a hig
