- Arthur's POV -
I tried to step forward and gently put my hand on the girl's shoulder.
The shoulder under the palm cowered for a moment, and then there was no major resistance to the action.
I let out a long, inaudible breath. She finally stopped fussing.
Looking at that overly youthful face, I suddenly did not know how to start.
She seems to be such a fragile girl. Where does she get such desperate and ruthless energy? Perhaps under her fragile appearance hides a tough soul.
I pulled up the bed sheet for the girl to wipe her wet hair. Gently wipe from the forehead to behind the ear. I didn't even realize that my actions were considerate and soft.
I haven't shown my gentleness to any female since my mate died 18 years ago.
After treating the wound on her forehead, I tore the girl's white T-shirt and prepared to treat the injuries on her shoulder and elbow. The girl was shivering all the time, but she just didn't have the strength to struggle.
As I expected, the girl fell very badly. The fall bruises on her body were so red they looked like they were oozing blood.
After dealing with the head and upper body bruises, I naturally turned my attention to the lower half of the girl's body.
Before becoming an Alpha, I had plenty of experience in fighting and treating wounds. From what I could tell, the girl's knee must have been badly injured as well.
I hope she didn't break any bones.
The pants were too thick for me to tear by hand, so I took a pair of scissors as an aid.
Starting from her waist to cut her pants down, I saw that her outer thigh was red with purple and already bruised.
It did hurt.
I quickly finished cutting her pants and then planned to give her a detailed examination. I didn't even touch her thigh. The girl, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly sobbed out and reached out to stop me.
"Don't be afraid, I'm helping you."
I still insisted and lifted the girl's injured leg. As soon as the two legs staggered, something suddenly came into my eyes.
The tiny, smooth, juicy light pink slit...appeared in front of me.
Oh damn, I accidentally cut her panties with the scissors along with her pants.
I gulped, and my chest and cheeks began to heat up at the same time. I immediately averted my gaze to avoid seeing her private parts.
Even though I've been single for many years, I don't act like a horny freak whenever I see a pretty girl. I am used to restraining my inner desires. I struggle with the desire to kill all the time. Sex, for me, is also one of the desires that can be restrained.
I took a few deep breaths to calm my mind and then proceeded to examine her legs.
I didn't have any lewd thoughts other than wanting to help her. But the girl didn't understand. She seemed to sense my touch and suddenly struggled desperately and closed her legs hard.
"Don't move! Hold still! If your leg is fractured, you'll make it worse by struggling like that!"
She was weak. She couldn't resist me and eventually let me examine her.
With a casual glance, what came into my sight made me freeze on the spot.
What... what did I just see?
A white tail?
I reached out and touched it and found it to be real. I've never seen a werewolf retain her tail after shifting into human form, unless she has a genetic defect.
However, usually, werewolves with genetic defects have a hard time surviving this long. Most die young, shortly after birth. Because their skin cannot touch sunlight, and their eyes cannot adapt to strong light or darkness. They are always sick, like fragile glass dolls.
It's a miracle she's survived so long! No wonder she is so short and skinny.
I suddenly realized that the white fur on her legs was probably real fur, not some kind of fluffy socks, as I had mistakenly thought.
I could understand the fear and desperation of this young girl, who was carrying such a big secret.
A strong wave of sympathy and appreciation welled up in my chest. What a poor and strong girl. She must be living with a lot of pain every second, just like me.
For a moment, my heart was touched, as if I had found my mate, not my wolf's Chosen Mate, but the Soul Mate I met myself.
The bathroom light was scattered to illuminate half of the bed, and the slender, fair young girl was lying naked on the bed.
She is very beautiful, a unique, cruel type of beauty.
It is like artwork to be admired and praised.
I held my breath for a long time and could not move a bit.
Nor could I take my eyes off it.
"Let me go...let me go...Mark!"
The girl built up strength again for a while. She tightened her body up as if she was dying to wrap herself in a cocoon.
I snapped back to attention. I paused for a moment, and then walked forward to pull up the quilt to wrap her intact.
"Don't be afraid, Mark is gone. No one can hurt you as long as I am here."
I don't know if the quilt or my words worked, but the girl clutched the quilt and slowly calmed down.
I stepped forward and held her up with the quilt.
Before the girl under the quilt struggled, I said, "This bed is all wet with water. You'll get sick easily. Go to my room and rest. I promise not to hurt you."
The struggle became smaller.
I steadily carried her out of the room and stepped up the stairs to my room. Finally, I laid the girl gently on my bed.
I never knew I could be so gentle, or that I was being so gentle.
I turned around and turned up the air conditioning. The warm air whistled out of the fan blades. The temperature in the room slowly rose.
- Crystal's POV -
The covers on the bed moved, and I poked half my fluffy head out silently.
I was in a daze, but I remember vaguely hearing, "Mark is gone". I wondered who was standing here just now since Mark was gone.
I couldn't see clearly.
No matter how hard I opened my eyes, I could only see a blurred, straight back that made me somehow feel familiar.
Have I seen this person somewhere before?
I couldn't figure it out, and the condition of my body didn't allow me to.
Maybe it was the peace of mind, or maybe it was the rising temperature around me, and the effects of the pill once again came on strong.
I was so hot and sweaty that even I could feel the fluid pouring out of my body in a steady stream.
The unspeakable burning and dryness swept over my mouth and skin, and I really wanted to lift the covers to lower my body temperature, but my actual movement was to shrink further inside the quilt.
A short while later, footsteps sounded in the room, someone was approaching the bed.
A magnetic voice came into my ears through the quilt, with an inexplicable and comforting familiarity.
"The quilt just got wet, I'll change the quilt for you, and then you can rest well."
The person who said that grabbed a corner of the quilt and slowly lifted it.
I hurriedly stretched out a pair of sweaty hands from the quilt and held down the man's hand tightly to keep him from proceeding.
The strange man was frozen for a moment. He seemed to stare at my hands.
My hands are small and slender. If he wanted to hurt me, he could easily grab my hand in his palm and crush it hard...
I trembled with fear.
But the man didn't hurt me. He just patted the back of my hand and said soothingly, "It's okay. I won't hurt you. I'll leave after I change the quilt. I won't look at anything."
He tried to move my sweaty, trembling hands away, but I couldn't resist grabbing him like a drowning person grabbing a straw.
I don't know why. I couldn't see his face, but I felt his voice and scent give me a sense of security.
Can I ask him for help?
My small, slender hand could only grasp two fingers of the strange man, and my damp palm trembled slightly.
"I, I feel so bad..." My muffled voice came from under the covers.
The moment I touched the man's palm, a hot flush inexplicably surged through my pussy. I think it was the pill that turned me into a slutty bitch. I wanted to be touched and penetrated.
I couldn't help but ask for help from this strange man.
"I'm suffering...please help me... Help me..."
- Arthur's POV -
I listened to her weak mosquitoes cry for help, and I hastily lifted the quilt. A red head was exposed, and her hair was even wetter than before I wiped it.
"How come you're sweating so much?"
I was startled. It was then I noticed that the young girl's condition was even more off than I had perceived.
I reached up to her shoulder and felt a hand full of slickness and water. She was like a ripe, peeled shrimp, showing an unusual and attractive flush all over.
"I'm so thirsty...so thirsty..."
Excessive thirst made those two lips bloodshot and bright red. The girl unconsciously opened her mouth slightly, spitting out her burning tongue, unaware of the begging, tantalizing gesture she was making to me.
I took one look at it and turned my head away sharply, getting up as if to escape, "I'll get you some water."
I stood up in a mess and tripped once. It was as if things were slipping into the range of completely out of control.
"Here's the water."
I just carried the water to the bed. When I looked up, I saw that the girl had poked most of her body out of the quilt and was about to tumble off the bed. I rushed up to hold her steady.
"Be careful!"
The girl was held, but the water spilled half a glass. Most of it was absorbed by the mattress.
Another bed was wet.
"So thirsty..."
I took a look at the girl's condition and thought, "Pouring half a glass of water on the bed doesn't seem to make any difference. Most of the bed is sweaty.
I took the girl in my arms and carefully passed the glass to her lips, and let her take a small sip.
Looking at the girl's flushed cheeks and misty eyes, I grew increasingly nervous.
I had roughly realized what Mark had done to this girl.
I always knew that Mark was crazy. I had no idea that Mark was in such a hopeless state.
I've been such a bad father.
In a subtle sense of shame, I treated the girl more gently.
The girl drank so quickly that she coughed. I did not hesitate to use my hand to wipe her lips off water droplets.
If my subordinates were here, they would be screaming with shock, because I have not shown a gentle and considerate side for many years.
I have treated people coldly for over a decade. Since becoming an Alpha, I seem to have put all my passion into my work. I was too stingy with real people to give any kindness, even to my son.
Only at that moment, was I completely unaware of the concern and tension on my face.
"Drink slowly...I'll pour you more if you don't have enough."
I took away the empty glass and was about to get up to refill it when suddenly those hot, sweaty hands tugged tightly on my sleeve.
"I want more...more..."
- Arthur's POV - The girl was possessed with a thirst for water. She could not hold back for a moment. Seeing a drop of water on my thumb, she reached out the tip of her tongue to lick it. The moist red tongue was like the wicked snake that seduced Eve. It made people fall, and it could not be avoided. She sucked my weakest, sensitive palm gently. My head was in a fog. My hand was out of control. The glass fell with a dull thud. I shivered at the noise and hurried down to pick up the glass. I didn't expect the girl on the edge of the bed to fall over limply, and I hurried to hold her shoulders steady again. "I'm so thirsty..." The girl had completely embraced me as her savior, as if all her needs could be met here. "I'm so thirsty... I want more..." I unconsciously rolled my Adam's apple, "I, I'll go get you some water...um-" Before the words were out of my mouth, suddenly, there was a hot licking sensation on my Adam's apple. It turned out that I had long been sweating unkno
- Crystal's POV -Alpha Arthur is pretty tall, he's probably over 6 feet. He is already much taller than the average male werewolf, and when it comes to me, it's like a mountain standing in front of me.I am a genetically defective omega, I am slender and thin, and I look small compared to omega's of my age, let alone with Arthur.The top of my head only reached Arthur's abdomen, and one of his palms could wrap around my entire shoulder.A sense of oppression naturally generated by the physical disparity came over me, and I panicked from the bottom of my heart. Even my voice turned shrill."Let go of me!"Alpha Arthur was silent for a moment, gently letting go of his hand and taking a step back."I'm sorry about last night.""Don't say it!"I wanted to find a needle and stab myself through the eardrums so that I wouldn't have to hear what he was saying.I didn't want to remember anything related to last night at all, let alone the fact that I had taken it upon myself to tempt him to p
- Crystal's POV -Mark didn't come to school for a whole month after that.I didn't ask around, but I did hear that Mark seemed to have been grounded by his father.Everyone knew that Mark's father was Alpha Arthur, and they guessed that Alpha Arthur must be a very strict and scary person.However, my impression was that he was a soft-spoken, elegant gentleman. Although I hated him for taking away my virginity, I must admit that he was a patient and cultured man.Since that incident, I have been more silent than ever. Wherever I went, I kept my head down and never looked anyone in the eye.My classmates were used to my reticence, and they all thought that my change was due to the public rejection by my mate. No one cared about me.During this period of time, I went to the library after school as usual. I didn't go to see Emily again.But I didn't expect that a month later, Emily would come to me on her own initiative."Emily! What's wrong with you?"Looking at the crying Emily in fron
- Crystal's POV -One of them, with his strong hand, grabbed my arm that Mark was holding on to.I looked at the two bodyguards up close and realized that they were taller and stronger than I thought, so what should I do if they were going to help Mark?Suddenly, the force on my wrist loosened, and my hand was actually released.I looked over in surprise, only to see that both bodyguards were holding Mark's left and right hands, respectively, and actually looked like they were stopping him."Mark, Alpha doesn't want you to bully others."I was stunned. These two men...they weren't arranged to protect Mark, but to monitor him?These two men were just too powerful. The muscles under their clothes looked bigger than even Mark's head.Mark couldn't break away, his face was red with anger."I'm not bullying her! Can't I just talk to my classmates? My dad didn't say I'm not allowed to chat with my classmates!"I saw the two bodyguards turn their attention to me simultaneously, as if inquiri
- Crystal's POV -The memories hidden in the depths were hooked up little by little. On that wild night, there was also such a hand stroking my body, and even penetrating my private parts, stirring my heartbeat.The news video was still playing on the screen, and Alpha Arthur tried out other new weapons.The other weapons were much more violent than the gun. But Alpha Arthur seems to be very familiar with every category of weapon.When he jumped down from the tank, all his wildness was released at that moment, as if the calm and composure earlier were a disguise, and his nature was possessive and dominant.The sunlight wrapped around his whole body. All of our eyes were drawn to Alpha Arthur's sculpted, gorgeous face.He was using a monocular, with his other eye closed, and his thick lashes cast a large dark shadow across his high nose.None of us knew what he saw, and his tightly pursed lips suddenly curled up in a charming smile.The video ends, and everything falls silent. But Alph
- Crystal's POV -Putting the phone down, I realized what a crazy thing I had just done.What did I say? Oh my God, what did I say? How dare I be so bold!But, if I didn't, I wouldn't have the money for the operation.I had no way out.An operation of this magnitude can cost millions. Even if I had the patience to save up slowly, the baby in my belly couldn't wait too long.I didn't wait at the door of the dorm. I knew no one would open the door for me, so I walked down to the bottom of the building.- The Third's POV -Shortly after Crystal's figure disappeared down the hallway, the door of the dorm opened a crack.A head poked out to take a look, then retracted and said, "Hey, that bitch left."The dormitory burst into laughter, and Zara's laughter was particularly loud."Hahahahahaha, that damn poor bastard. She deserves it! She's always against us. This time we just denied her entry. Next time we'll throw her stuff out!"The others laughed along with her, and suddenly one of them
- Crystal's POV -When I heard Arthur's reminder, I realized I was blocking the car door. I blushed and hurriedly got out of the car.Standing next to Arthur, I was as shaky as ever. I didn't even dare to raise my head on the way, just staring at the hem of his shirt.After taking off his suit, Arthur's back looked much more approachable.The dressed-up Arthur who appeared on the news earlier was too perfect.It is only suitable for watching and looking up from afar, not for getting along.Of course, even with just his shirt on, he didn't exactly blend in with the ordinary people. Even with his face blocked, his impressive aura and physique likewise made him stand out far from the rest."Am I intimidating?" Arthur, who was sitting across the table ordering food, asked, "You haven't looked up at me."We were already sitting in the booth, surrounded by silence, nothing but the dulcet sound of violins.It was for this reason that Arthur had taken the mask off his face, and the eye-catchi
- Crystal's POV -I was so anxious that I stood up straight away. How could he suddenly change his mind when he had just promised me?"Can I take the money as a loan from you? I will work to earn money after I graduate..."Arthur shook his head and said, "This is not your business alone. The baby is ours. I can't let you take on everything all by yourself."I was frozen.Arthur's concerns seemed a little different than I had imagined.I had thought that Arthur would be worried that the baby in my belly would damage his reputation. He would have wanted me to get rid of it sooner. But Arthur...Arthur seemed to see my bewilderment and confusion. He steadied his mind and rephrased his words, "I mean, you can't be left alone with such a big deal. I know I have a big unshirkable responsibility in this matter, and I'm not a selfish person. I can't stay out of it.""So, Alpha, what are you going to do?"When I asked this, I subconsciously treated Arthur as a reliable man.Arthur did not answ
