"Are you giving me a chance?" Liam whispered, still stroking Amora's cheek. When she tried to pull her hand, he held it gently. "I will be happy if you do."
"I feel bad for you to say this, sir," she said awkwardly. "I'm the one who caused trouble this afternoon. I'm exaggerating. Forgive me. I should have realized from the start."
“I understand how you feel. You must be really surprised." When she just nodded weakly, he drew his face closer. "But you know? Sometimes something has to be broken and lost before you realize how precious it is.”
She slightly looked up when she saw that his clear eyes now filled her entire vision. His scent was fresh and sweet, even if he sweated.
It was night, the moon seemed to move among the clouds. It went through another phase slowly. The light crossed the side of the glass window of his room which was deliberately opened. It added a very dramatic impression as well as added to the
Candy snorted when she saw Amora's happiness suddenly disappear. She knew that she might have drifted off and no longer remembered her threats about the werewolf packs and how terrifying they were to a weak human who had just been auctioned off. She should have been stricter with her from the start, at least to show who was the leader here!Liam suddenly came up. With a slightly pale face, he stood right beside Amora. He was surprised when seeing Candy although her expression of trying to seduce him was nothing new.“Mr. Liam!” Candy greeted with a smile. As usual, she wore a red dress that was tight and challenging. This time her hair was loose, unlike usual which was always tied up tight like a tough warrior.Being the only daughter of her father who later inherited this dangerous business required her to be ready for every situation: including being a tough and smart woman."Good morning, Sir! Did you sleep well last night?” She handed over a parcel with a beautiful blue wrap. "I h
“Mr. Liam is hugging Amora!” the pack members whispered.They had stood apart to practice in several groups. Some of them sat down to wait their turn to fight. But suddenly something very surprising filled their eyes. Their Alpha who was very cold to all women suddenly hugged one of them. And she was a human!Not only they were surprised, but Amora was also the same. Even though Liam's hug was very familiar but if he did it in front of many people, it was different. Would they report this to Candy later?She looked all around, quite scared that Candy suddenly came back and slapped her in the face.She breathed a sigh of relief after he let go of his hug, staring at her with a look she had never seen before: relieved but also confused."You found this?" he pointed at the pendant hanging around her neck. “Where did you find it? You weren't wearing it when you were auctioned off.""I got it from Candy.""From Candy?" Before he asked again, he led them into the house and sat down on the b
Amora's heart was beating fast especially when she was very sure that the symbol attached to the mysterious man's robe matched the symbol on her pendant. “Is that person related to me? Who's he?"Those words kept going around in her head as her feet kept running to catch up with hope. If she could talk to that strange man, she could at least ask about the origin of her pendant.If she already got an answer, she might be able to easily find her parents.But when she left Liam's house through the front door she knew where the key was, she saw emptiness."Where is him?" she asked, glancing around at the night. Moonlight was the only light that night. Maybe because this was an Alpha's house, there wasn't much need for outside lights. They could see in the dark better than humans. In addition, this house was used as a residence as well as headquarters. So, there was no point in installing more lights."He disappeared?" she said in the end. Her bare feet moved across the silvery grass, one
“Intruder!!!” A guard shouted. At first, it was just one sound, then followed by other screams, shouted at each other. Amora felt her heart sink and fell until she couldn't be saved because suddenly the door of her bedroom was banged repeatedly. Then followed a few growls from outside, forcing its way in. Not wanting to deny it, she was really scared right now. Both of her legs weren't working properly so she slipped and fell to the floor while trying to hold the door closed. “Grrr!” The roar returned, louder than before. A few additional roars came from all around, breaking through the locked and tightly shut door. “Please! Please!” she cried while holding the door with her back, feeling the fear had touched her tailbone. Cold sweat filled her skin, drenching it down to the nape of her neck. Outside there were more growls and whirring of swords and claws from the werewolves. The moon was getting closer to the full moon, and that might not be a good sign. “Open the door! Open!" A
“Hey!” she shouted. "Wait! You just left me here? You don't want to eat me?" She came to her senses and covered her mouth. “I mean, you don't want to explain to me…” Her voice trailed off as it disappeared, leaving her. Crouching, she waited for something to happen. She hoped she wasn't being locked up to be used as prey later. Because of the fear, she looked for some items to be used as weapons. She found some scrap metal as well as an old, heavy shield. That night she practiced using both of them until she was exhausted and fell asleep. She woke up when she felt something wet touch her cheek. She thought it was the muzzle of the black wolf that had dragged her last night. That was why she widened her eyes and groped around to find her weapon and brandished it. "Don’t come close! I will fight you!” she shouted, like a soldier. Then a voice suddenly emerged, "You can't fight anyone with your eyes closed." Her stiff eyebrows rose together. "Liam?" Then a smile widened like a sun t
“If you can't stop looking at it, then stay by my side!” He held her hand as if pouring out all his deepest feelings. He knew the chances of her saying yes were very small, but he wasn't going to give up easily.He could see her fear had disappeared since yesterday, and ever since he said that he would help her find her identity. So, after that, he was sure that she desired to stay with him a little longer or maybe even forever.It was true, and she would have done it if only her life had depended on her wish. But everything was not so simple.His confidence was now shrinking after seeing her smile a little. He knew it was a subtle rejection."I won't force you," he forced a smile. “If you want to do it then you can do it. Please apply the ointment now! I have to start a meeting with pack members!”She awkwardly nodded. Her soft-slender fingers took the ointment again and rubbed it slowly on his wound. Rough surfaces such as scars, pathetically dried blood, and torn skin. Everything l
“…That's why they believe that if they eat your body, they will gain something. And that's why we were attacked."Amora was stunned. She didn't know about that."Last night Mr. Liam almost fell into a coma because his body was still very weak after being poisoned. Last night's battle nearly killed him! Will you take responsibility if that happens?!!!” Candy roared back. Amora was even sure that she had seen her face almost turn into that of a wolf.There was no fear left in Amora's heart, only sadness and guilt. Then she remembered her desire to protect Liam, to help him lead this group. Maybe she could have done it if only she had never arrived at this house.“Black Dragon is your salesman,” Candy said after tugging at her wolf at her side, but had not yet entered her body. "You have to look for them right now!"“But I don't even get any…”"I'll help you!" wailed Candy angrily. “I will help you so don't give excuses! I've got some information. You need to start tonight!”"Tonight?" T
“Kill her!” Candy said to the werewolves. “Kill her and leave nothing behind!”After that, a growl was heard as the wolves jumped into the tunnel first, followed by the werewolves.The dark forest, the shady trees swaying in the wind, like wandering ghosts. They witnessed everything, how a werewolf planned to kill a human.Meanwhile, Amora was now turning on the flashlight in her hand. It turned out to be useful even though she had her doubts.After jumping into the tunnel, she fell at the bottom of it to somewhere: a long winding and dark path. It must have been excavated long ago because the walls were as solid as a cave. And the air circulation was very stuffy, like a place that was often crossed for activities."Will I find the Black Dragon headquarters?" she asked herself while pointing the flashlight forward, seeing the length of the passage that she didn't know the end of. Cobwebs littered the hall's ceiling, indicating that this place had been standing for quite a long time.S
