#Chapter5ADELIA Lewis' magnetic eyes stared at me as if he wanted to imprison my soul. He lightly stated his offer, as if it was but a small matter to him.On the other hand, I could not believe what I heard.In my visions, I knew that he did not have any mate. Nobody knew what happened to his mate. Did she die early on? Or did he not find her in the first place? No one had a clue. But there was no question that many women came after him, and they were all badly rejected, with some even committing mistakes that caused them their lives.'I was aware of that. That's why I didn't even think of me becoming his mate....' I pondered. 'To think that he will directly offer to mark me....'Lewis was observing me for a while before his eyes slowly narrowed. "Hhmm? Can't bear to be marked by another?" He asked me in a gentle voice yet I almost jumped in fear.I gripped my hands and said in a resolute voice, "No."In my visions, I gave Alec all of my heart and soul. I did everything in
#Chapter6ADELIA My lower lip trembled and I could not help but raise my hands and shield my face, covering my embarrassed expression."Hmm?" I heard Lewis say before I felt him tucking some strands of my hair behind my ear. "What is the matter?" He gently asked. I instantly felt more embarrassed.I planned for a long time and yet... I put myself in a situation where I did not know what to do and say.So I just stayed quiet... and hoped that everything would pass.Thankfully, the moon goddess seemed to answer my prayer because suddenly, we heard a low and powerful growl... indicating the arrival of a royalty."He's here," I heard Lewis say before letting me go. I secretly took a sigh of relief."You better go to the Hall now," Lewis told me.All of the wolves must pay respect to the royalty of the wolves, and the howl earlier was a summon for everyone to immediately gather and greet him.I took my hands off my still warm face and looked at Lewis before nodding.Lewis star
#Chapter7ADELIA At the corner behind the big column at the very leftmost side of the Hall and away from everyone's eyes... That was where I was.I blinked once and looked in the direction where Lewis was. True enough, he was walking towards me.The entire fell into deafening silence, and each and every werewolf watched Lewis, curious as to what he would do.'I know that he marked me... but why is he coming towards me right now... in this place?' I mentally panicked. Each step that Lewis made was like a thunder inside my chest... and my whole body was petrified.Out of habit, I grabbed the hem of my shirt and pulled down to straighten it out. Unfortunately, I pulled a little bit too much and a noticeable tear appeared on the fabric.'Shoot!' I wanted to curse at myself. I wanted to run away from that place. Unfortunately, I had no time as Lewis arrived in front of me."Ah..." I could not help but exclaim before placing my hand on the tear of my shirt to hide it. "He-hello,"
#Chapter8ADELIA Cold breeze blew on my face the moment we stepped out of the Hall, making my shocked mind slightly calm down. Inside my chest, my heart was still pounding so hard and the tips of my ears felt so warm.On the other hand, Lewis was walking as if he was walking in a park. ‘He’s so calm,’ I thought as I peeked at Lewis’ face. His broad shoulders were so relaxed as he walked casually. He did not look like someone who just “picked up” a woman in the middle of a crowd while ignoring everyone, including the prince of the werewolves.‘Come on, Lia. Stop being embarrassed…’ I tried to convince myself. ‘Look at Lewis… there is nothing to be embarrassed of…’I closed my eyes and took a deep breath to compose myself. However, the moment my sight darkened, I immediately became painfully aware of the strong arms that were holding my body… and the body heat that was coming from Lewis.'He's so close to me...' I thought as my cheeks started to burn. 'He's so close... to the
#Chapter9ADELIA What I saw was an unfamiliar place when I opened my eyes.The tall ceiling that greeted my sight was very sleek and elegant. Yet, I failed to notice it, as my eyes were focused on the insignia that was masterfully engraved in the middle of the ceiling.An image of the full moon... with a powerful looking sword silently placed beside it. It was composed of simple symbols. Yet, the power that emanated from it was beyond comparison with the others.Just one look in the insignia already made my heart turn faster with excitement and my eyes turn wide with amazement.It was an insignia that had disappeared for the past couple of centuries.Talascar, the protector of the Moon.In my visions, it was not until a few years later when this hidden insignia reappeared in the world. But now, I had the honor of closely seeing it. I was completely mesmerized."Do you recognize this symbol?" Suddenly, a low voice stated, making me almost jump in surprise.I looked at where
#Chapter10ADELIA Lewis' unexpected action startled me. Yet, I did not stop him - at least that was what I tried to do. I trusted him, and I knew that he would not do anything that would bring me harm. However, I could not stay still when I felt something very cold dampened my skin."Wha-!" I loudly exclaimed as I tried to unsuccessfully retrieve my leg."Be good, it will be over soon," Lewis softly said as he held my leg in place. I repeatedly blinked as I saw him putting frozen gel over the wounds on my leg. The cold gel immediately penetrated my broken skin, immediately mending it, but in the process sent icy chills on my bone.I had always been very weak to cold. I closed my eyes and took sharp breaths every time I felt the biting coldness that seeped through my inner body.Thankfully, after a few minutes, he was done with his treatment.Lewis thoughtfully looked at my legs and gently rubbed it. The wounds that were previously there were healed."Are you alright?" He as
#Chapter11LEWIS It was pitched black, and silence would have completely enveloped the place if not for the water dropping at the nearby stalactites."There's nothing in here," the figure beside me said. His voice that echoed inside seemed to disturb the tranquility of the cave. I could not help but furrow my brows.'It would have been better if I went here alone,' I thought before walking away from the noisy person."Hey! Wait for me!" Halen, the prince of the werewolf, immediately exclaimed. "You know you can't leave me in here!" He chuckled as he jogged behind me.“Is that a dare, your highness?” I asked him in a nonchalant voice. The prince of the werewolf who was greatly feared by everyone put up an exaggerated surprise face as if he was shocked to his senses. His face looked very comical... like a comedic cartoon character.I ignored him and continued to walk towards a small entrance of the cave.“Eh? Why are you going there?” Halen asked as he quickly followed my heel
#Chapter12LEWIS 'He-hello?' She quietly said. The tone of her voice was filled with uncertainty, and in our connection, I could feel the various emotions that she was feeling in her heart.She was feeling troubled and nervous. But aside from that, she was excited and was looking forward to hearing my voice.I blinked once as I realized what was going on. Adelia did not know how to mind link and thus she unintentionally spilled all her thoughts and emotions to me.'And here I was just wondering whether she was only pretending to be expressive. It really turns out that her colorful expressions are real... and her face merely shows what she thinks and feels inside,' I closed my eyes in contemplation.One could use their words and actions to deceive another. This was possible, as anyone could easily control the words that they could say and the actions that they would do.But that was not the case with emotions. One could not tell his heart to be happy when he was sad, like one
