After Elena arrived at the hospital, which was on the second floor of this cement building, the doctor ran a full physical examination on her. Her health was in pretty bad shape. Except for those needle holes on her arms, bruises on her chest, the doctor also found overlapped bite marks on her shoulders and back. Some of them were nearly cured; some of them were still fresh. Those long blood scratches on her thighs were caused by wolf claws. It seemed like she fought with some fierce wolf repeatedly but lost a lot. And she lost her ability to heal also.“Were you born with a wolf?” Wolves who couldn’t heal themselves were very rare, nearly impossible to exist. The doctor had to consider the possibility that she had never been blessed with one.Elena chewed her bottom lip. She was lying on the examination table, eyes fixed on the bored pale ceiling-almost exactly the same ceiling she was facing every day and night back in the kingdom’s hospital.“Yes,” she whispered, but would rather
It was a small apartment with one or two bedrooms, not exactly that kind of fancy suite an Alpha would like to stay in, but more like a plain house of ordinary people.The furniture inside was pretty common but homely. There wasn’t much decoration around, just a typical single male’s apartment, a little messy but pretty clean.Elena found the light switch in the living room beside the door, but it didn’t work. She then gave up. And Ethan closed the door behind her.“Good luck,” he mouthed to her with an assuring smile before he left.And then, following that light click of the door lock, everything just sank into deep silence.There were bright tall street lamps outside, so the apartment wasn’t in complete darkness. Still, it was dark, and cold, and lonely, and somehow, stifling, like at the bottom of the ocean.Elena stood in the middle of the living room and waited for a while, still couldn’t decide what to do next.Suddenly, on the opposite of the front door, through the hallway, o
“What the hell are you doing?!”The moment Ragnar left the bedroom, his wolf Raven started to frenzy.“Are you crazy?!”“Why did you stop?!”“She kissed us!!! Didn’t you see that?!”“She likes us!”“Fuck! Ragnar! Fuck! What the hell are you doing now?!”Picking up his coat from the coat hanger, Ragnar went out directly from the front door. The elevator wasn’t quick enough. He charged downstairs through the staircases.Raven roared and nagged in his head as he always did. Ragnar didn’t reply to him until he had left the building from the side door.“She doesn’t know,” he said, walking towards the black Jeep parked outside.“Doesn’t know what?!” Raven was so sick of his dragging. “Can’t you just clear things up once and for all?! Why on earth did the Moon Goddess pair me with such a pathetic fool like you?!”“She doesn’t know we are his brother,” Ragnar replied, getting into the car, and then started the engine with the key.“So what?!” Raven was so pissed off. “We are older than him. H
Amidst the endless sand, under the darkened sky, the kingdom’s young king was throwing his tantrum very badly. Three hours ago, he charged into this death area regardless of the objection of his chief guard. Now he was stuck in the middle of it without food and water, and also lost direction.“If you could allow me to contact your father, Your Majesty,” the old chief guard begged him. He used to be the chief guard of the old king. Now he was taking care of this reckless young wolf under his father’s order.“He will send someone here to rescue us,” he said.“No!” Cory growled amidst the swirling sand. The wind was getting stronger and stronger. He and his armed troop were all in their wolf form. Yet, it didn’t make their trudge in the desert any easier. Two days ago, before he departed to the rogue’s border, he accidentally fell asleep in his office. When he woke up, it was already 10 hours later. He hopped into a helicopter and rushed to where his mate rejected him. But her smell ha
After Ragnar drove back to the city, a call came in when he extinguished the engine.He picked it up while getting out of the car. The dragon princess’s voice came from the speaker.“Hi, there, how do you like my present?” The princess chuckled at the other end of the phone. Which caused Ragnar to frown, “You mean your little husband?” he asked in a cold tone.“Hey, only husband-to-be,” the princess retorted dissatisfiedly, and then said, “I am not actually marrying that moron! It’s so stupid! He sucks in bed too, you know. I can never understand how your little girlfriend put up with it!”Ragnar pressed his lips. He hated his mate being dragged into this conversation.“So I guess the wedding is off,” he said, and then asked, “What’s on your mind, Lennie? You saved my life once, and I help you kill him. That’s the deal. I’ve never agreed to anything else.”“That’s before I found out your little brother is a complete moron,” Lennie said. “I am not going to go through all those troubles
The next day, when Elena woke up, the sky was still dark.The street lamp outside was illuminating the room exactly the same way as when she fell asleep. It felt like time had stopped in this strange city, and there would never be any sunlight.It was supposed to be depressing, but Elena felt no such thing. She was in a brisk mood as the sleep she had just had was so deep and relaxing.When that strange Alpha pulled away from her and left, she felt disappointed and confused, but that’s all of it. The experience with her ex-boyfriend had taught her lessons. She stopped overthinking about things that were out of her control.Hearing him leave the apartment, she sat up from his bed and observed his bedroom. It was a very small room, narrow and kind of messy. Books and magazines were scattered on the desk and floor-all of them were about laws and firearms. There was a picture hung on the wall at the end of the bed. Elena walked close and looked at it and then found it was a family photo.
Oh, L, after everything you have been through. How could you still be so naive and stupid?!If Nyla were still around, that must be her disappointed comment.All those things which had happened to her, including having her parents evicted and losing her wolf, were all because she was so weak and pathetic. She couldn’t find the determination to fight against Cory. And she couldn’t be cold-blooded and careless.If only she had left the very moment after she saw Cory with Lennie, then none of those things would have happened. If only she had attacked Cory and killed him in the hallway outside the basement, then at least her parents would have been okay.But No.She did none of those things because she just couldn’t help but trust the conscience of the person she had loved so much. And no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t have the determination to become a ruthless murderer.She was so weak and tragic, completely a disaster.When she was tied to the hospital bed, she had made u
Following him to walk in the cold hallway under that dim white light, it was really difficult for Elena not to think about what it would feel like when she touched him. That warm and cozy ambiance emitting from him made him the only sunlight in this endless dark night. She wanted to hug him so much and tell him she wanted him. Then none of them would be cold and alone in this world anymore. But No.She couldn’t just be with him like that. Love that could be obtained so easily would easily be lost too. She had learned her lessons about it. When she became the Luna of his, she hoped it was because she was worth it, not because she was “assigned” to it. For the first time in her life, Elena wanted to actually achieve something using her own power, not only for herself but also for him.She wanted to be his irreplaceable. And she wanted to be of great help.The elevator door opened after the tiny chime sound. Ragnar held the door for her, suggesting she go in first. They went down to
