"I-I didn't see Haria," Marky continued as he decided not to tell Kate the truth. "I'm not following them or looking for them either. I'm just checking if this place was safe for the safety of all of us here.""Is that so?" Kate nodded as she looked around the area, hoping to see her cousin there. "She was just with Jacob earlier. Where did that man take my cousin?""I don't think she's with Jacob now because, like me, Jacob is also patrolling around the area to ensure our safety here," Marky continued. For some reason he couldn't explain, it seemed that he wanted Kate to go back to the camping site and just stop looking for Haria. He didn't want her to discover what Haria and Jacob were doing."Where did my cousin go? I'm starting to feel worried now as I've known her so much. She is adventurous and likes to discover things she has never experienced."After saying that, Kate started walking again to find Haria. Unexpectedly, her feet seemed to want to take her to the place where Jaco
Haria looked at Marky again and she was not expecting that he was also looking at her so their eyes met again."D-Do you have something you wanted to say?" Marky asked Haria when he noticed that she was about to say something to him or ask a question but she just kept looking at him as if she was feeling shy. "Or you wanted to ask something?""N-Nothing. Why? Do I have something to tell you or ask you?" Haria answered as she came back to her senses and avoided looking at Marky."I don't know," Marky answered as he shrugged his shoulders.A few moments later, Haria saw Jacob who came from the middle of the woods and walking in their direction.She smiled at him and didn't wait for the awkwardness between them to prevail.He smiled back at her and a few moments later, he was already in front of her."Hi, Alpha Haria," Jacob greeted Haria with a wide smile as he felt a strange joy because she greeted him with a sweet smile. He also didn't notice any awkwardness in her, even though Kate a
Haria didn't pay attention to those who arrived at the mansion. She just turned around and started walking upstairs to go to her room. But suddenly, her brother called her again so she was slightly surprised."Hold it, Haria," Jomer almost shouted. "You come here first and we have something important to talk about."Haria looked at her brother again and she noticed that General Parks and his son Marky, who also went to camping with her, were already by his side.She suddenly felt nervous and wondered why Marky was there and his brother even let him enter the mansion when only General Parks was allowed to enter there."Listen carefully, Haria, starting on Monday, Marky will always be with you. I've assigned him as your new personal bodyguard inside the training camp," Jomer said as he faced Haria seriously."Whaaaat?" Haria exclaimed as she could hardly believe what she heard from her brother.Marky was also surprised as he did not expect what he heard because his father did not discus
"You're so serious there," Marvie said as she hugged Haria but immediately let go afterwards. "I'm going to stay here for one month. But Dad will go back to the city as soon as possible.""So, where is Dad? Why aren't you with him?""He went first to Grandpa, to the camp of our allied pack. And then he will go straight here. And I think he will just spend a night here as he is busy taking care of his business in the city," Marvie explained.Haria just nodded after she heard her sister's explanation."I'm really thankful that you came here, sister Marvie," Haria said as she hugged her sister tightly again. "It's getting really hard for me to understand brother Jomer now."Marvie broke free from Haria's embrace. Then, she held her by both shoulders and made her turn to her."Now tell me, Haria, what exactly is our brother doing to you?" Marvie asked seriously."He's getting too much on restricting me, sister. He doesn't want me to get close to my friends because he says that they are on
"Let me finish talking first," Marky said as Haria stopped walking after he blocked her path. "We'll just show them that we are following what they want. But when they are not around, then, we'll go back to normal. In short, I'll pick you up at the mansion every morning and drop you off every afternoon. But when we're at the training camp and Alpha Jomer is not around, let's go back to our normal lives. I don't know how long that will be effective. But I'm sure that in that way, they won't mess up with Jacob's life because they will see that we are following them."Haria remained silent and did not move from her position. She just kept staring at Marky even after he finished speaking. Then she continued walking and left Marky.Marky didn't follow anymore and just shook his head as he got on his motorcycle. He didn't bother Haria anymore and then he quickly drove his motorcycle.Haria stopped walking for a moment when she saw that the motorcycle driven by Marky was speeding away. She t
After the training, Haria immediately approached Jacob to walk with him, and at the same time, she also wanted to avoid Marky.While walking together, Jacob noticed Haria's silence. He knew that she was going through a problem even if she didn't tell him. He didn't want to ask any more questions but as long as he opened up to him, he would definitely listen to her and be by her side all the time."Do you want to go out?" Jacob asked to break the silence between them. "Let's go outside the camp and enjoy the moment just like what we did before."Haria didn't give an answer and it seemed like she didn't hear anything and her mind was traveling somewhere far away. She just came back to her senses and was slightly surprised when he touched her shoulder."I'm asking if you want to go out for a moment," Jacob asked again when Haria turned to him."I-I can't. My brother will definitely look for me if he doesn't see me at the mansion," Haria answered in a sad voice."Is that so?" Jacob answer
Jomer looked seriously at his sister before he turned back to Jacob."Is it true that Marvie told you to come here?""Y-Yes, Alpha Jomer," Jacob answered as he nodded, although he wondered why Marvie said that."Go ahead, Guards, leave him alone," Jomer ordered the guards as he turned to them."But don't let him inside the mansion," Jomer continued, and then he turned around and went back inside the mansion. The guards also moved away from Jacob and returned to their respective posts."T-Thank you for defending and covering me against Alpha Jomer," Jacob said shyly as he turned to Marvie after Jomer and the guards left."You have nothing to worry about when I'm around," Marvie answered while smiling at Jacob. "So, why are you here? Do you need anything from Haria?""I-I just want to ask her something. But I guess she's already busy now.""She's having a rest inside her room. But I'm sorry to say that she can't go out to entertain you. You have already seen that we have a bitter brothe
Marvie was a little surprised when Vin spoke as he stopped the motorcycle. Then, she noticed a big signboard that had "Welcome To Malinao Resort" written on it."Just wait here, Alpha Marvie. I'm just going to park this motorcycle," Vin said after Marvie got off and then, he started the motorcycle again and drove it towards the parking area of the resort.Marvie looked around the place while waiting for Vin. The resort was new to her eyes, but the place and the street they passed seemed familiar to her."Let's go."Marvie came back to her senses after she heard Vin's voice. She gave him a forced smile and then, she followed him when he started to walk inside the resort."Ahem! E-Excuse me, Vin," Marvie said a little shyly as they were walking together. "I've been wanting to ask you for a while. What place is this?" she asked curiously as she felt something in that place that seemed familiar to her."A resort," Vin immediately answered as he continued walking without even facing Marv
