ADELIAThere were things that transcend beauty.The laughter of an innocent child, a dream that was realized.A great love that was fulfilled.These were the things that everyone sought after, but not everyone could reach.And when you gave up everything to attain it, but it was still beyond your reach, a certain feeling would reside in your chest.That was, the feeling of being incomplete.I blinked at the crowd surrounding me. All of them were tough and strong, the cream of the crop of the Pack of Emoresi, one of the greatest packs in the werewolf world. It has been years, and I already became accustomed to their presence, and their blatant disregard towards me. It’s alright,' I thought to myself. 'At least now, they are just disregarding me and are not actively hostile to me anymore.''Regardless, everything is not important… as long as I can be with h

 LEWIS "You were just so energetic, but now you sleep like a log again," I softly mumbled as I stared at the small figure on my bed.Lia, who was just blushing profusely and denying my ambiguous statement earlier, fell asleep the moment I laid her on the bed.I knew that she was exhausted. However, the speed when she dozed off, just after sleeping for hours, was quite not normal.I sat at the side of the bed and observed her peaceful face. At that moment, Lia looked relaxed, which was opposite to her heartbroken expression earlier. I reached out and softly traced her face with a finger.“You have no injury in your body, and you must have replenished your energy already,” I stated. “Still, you sleep so deeply as if you just ran a few hundred kilometers marathon.”After my statement, I observed Lia for a few more minutes before softly sighing and saying, “I have

 ADELIA“Okay,” Lewis started to say. “You were looking scared when I saw you earlier. Please tell me. What’s wrong?” He asked me, effectively making me recall the anxiousness that I earlier felt. And in my mind, I saw the images of my visions I previously saw.Lewis gave me a deep and concerned look before sitting beside me. Then, he called my name, “Lia.”“You can tell me. We are a team now, aren’t we?”“Ah,” I softly exclaimed.I blinked at him. ‘Could it be… he wants me to tell him about my worries?’ I thought to myself.While it is true that we are in the same team and I am under Lewis’ protection, I should not bother him with my useless anxieties – that was what I thought.Through the years, I have learned to keep everything to myself. Even in my visions, there was never a time whe

 LEWISThere is a saying that I often dismissed. It says, karma comes after everyone eventually.That saying could only affect the weak ones - or so I thought. I have the power to overcome anything including karma - or so I believed.But when I looked at the little woman with flushed cheeks who was standing next to me, I knew that karma already came knocking at my door.'Damn it,' I secretly swore as I tried to maintain an innocent look on my face.At that moment, Lia's blushing cheeks were more noticeable than usual. She was wearing a casual white t-shirt that fits her small frame nicely, and a pair of fitted jeans that showed off her gorgeously shaped legs. Her still wet hair was casually falling on her shoulders and she smelled like my shampoo.Her own fragrance mingled with the scent of my shampoo was enough to drive my wolf mad.Lia sent me a small, shy smile and my body suddenly hea

 ADELIAI have a small and humble house in the outskirts of the town. One could say that it was one of the worst locations in the territory. However, it was also the cheapest and the only place I could afford with my salary at the flower shop in the nearest human town.Although it was not much, for me, it was my home, my safe place that I go home to everyday.To see it in a state of shamble... it was shocking and hurting. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.'Why would they do this?' I thought to myself. 'It's only been two days since I was gone... why would they destroy my home?'I opened my eyes and once again saw my devastated house. The door and windows were all broken. My personal things were smashed and crushed, and my small selection of clothing were torn apart.'Was it father? Before he attended the gathering, he came here and broke my table already,'  I thought. Inside my chest
