Gray's thin white lips curled up. "Really? Why did I hear an Alpha like Ryan was absent at the important ceremony between packs last night? Instead, the one who received us was Diana, his sister?"“Please don't overthink. Although Ryan is fine, he was injured from the battle and is recovering.” I quickly replied and gave a calm smile. “He will recover in a few days; the healing process of Alphas is faster than normal people, right?” I said when I saw the wounds on Gray's body had begun to heal while Roger was similarly bandaged and unable to move.Gray pursed his lips. “Hopefully, as you say.”“If you say… Why won't he meet us?” Erina suddenly became reserved. “Does he blame us for what Rowan did?”Blake frowned disapprovingly at Erina. "Didn't you hear that Ryan is still in convalescence?"Erina was startled, and she cooed. “Dad, why are you yelling at me?”“Can't you see that Alpha is unhappy? Having become a Luna, why don't you control your mouth?" Blake reminded him when he saw Gr
Alfine and I arrived on time, but we still hadn't seen Lagan.The atmosphere where Alfine and I stood was also very odd. I often wanted to start a conversation with Alfine to ease that discomfort, but I kept silent when I thought of the warnings he once gave me.‘Stay away from me, weirdo!'Never say I'm your cousin; it makes me highly embarrassed; if you don't listen, I will teach you a lesson.'I forbid you to talk to me; talking to you also disgusts me.''She doesn't have a Wolf; she's different from us; she's not our family.'I glanced at Alfine sitting at a tree not far away, I don't know if he still remembers those words now, but to me, I can't forget them."Are you peeking at me? If you have something to say, say it." Alfine kept his eyes closed, but he seemed to be able to see through my every move.""Not available." I shook my head and lowered my face, doodling on the ground to pass the time.Alfine opened his eyes slowly, crossed his arms, and said coldly. "If you don't have
Covered by the forest and fog, I couldn't sense time. I don't know how long we've been wandering here. All I know is that my lips are starting to dry up, and the wounds on my legs are aching."What happens?" Alfine suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence that had been so far.Hearing him ask, Lagan also turned around and asked enthusiastically. “If something happens, shout it out loud; I can't see you two in these conditions."I paused for a moment, then answered with a little difficulty. "It's okay; I got bitten by an insect."Alfine said nothing more; after a moment, he suddenly spoke. “We passed this place once.”Lagan froze, his voice hoarse with fatigue. "What did you say?"“I said we passed this place; when I stopped a while ago, I marked this rock unmistakable.” Alfine crouched low, pointing to a scarlet X carved into the rough stone face.This surprised me; we only stopped at this place for about two minutes for a drink. Lagan and I only had time to gasp, not expecting Alfine
Lagan's attitude was very indifferent, but he was enthusiastic about explaining it to me. “For example, lighters, tents, and cereals are indispensable. Unnecessary clothes should be left at home, at most three sets for women and two for men.”After hearing that, my face turned red, I don't know if they saw it, but I was timid and didn't dare to raise my head. The things that Lagan said I don't need, I carry with me in my backpack are all clothes.As if seeing through my thoughts, Lagan smiled and said. "Don't worry; I brought much cereal for us to eat for a week." He raised an eyebrow at my backpack. “Is it all clothes in there?”"Yes." I'm shy.Contrary to what I thought, Lagan would furrow his brows in displeasure, but unexpectedly he laughed out loud comfortably. “Good. Evenings in the forest are cold and wet and full of insects. Wearing lots of clothes will prevent them from getting bit.”I scratched my head, smiling wryly after Lagan. "Next time, I'll pay attention; I won't bothe
"You eat first; let me bake the rest." I decline.But Alfine still doesn't move; he still does his job and treats me like air.Because I didn't want him to hold it forever, I took it and gently thanked him.Alfine didn't respond either, but I'm so used to his cold personality that it's normal.After we finished eating, we took our tent and prepared for bed.But that night, I couldn't sleep because of the growling sounds outside, the blistering leaves of leaves as something big stepped on them. I was so insecure that I didn't dare close my eyes for a second, and finally, I decided to go outside to guard.I diligently added wood to the fire that was slowly burning down. Remembering something important, I pulled out my phone. A small wave flashed; I pressed Evelyn's phone number in the hope that it would connect to her so that I would know Ryan's current situation, but after a long while, there was still no response. No response, the tiny wave disappears, and my phone screen goes dark. A
Suddenly the bag of chestnuts in my hand fell to the ground as a flash of a knife passed, the nuts rolling around at my feet. Looking at it, I was so amazed that I couldn't speak. I raised my head to look up at Alfine, then shook my head and looked at the space beside me again. A short knife was hurled beside me, pinning a cobra's head. His mouth was wide open, his eyes staring at me. It wiggled violently for a moment, gradually weakened, and finally remained motionless.My brain started working and putting everything together.To think I could be so careless that such a giant snake crawled up to me without noticing. If it weren't for Alfine to see me and throwing the knife down, I would have been bitten by that giant snake. Alfine looked at me coldly, my lips moved, and I couldn't say a word.What I want to ask is, how strong is Alfine now?The branch he was lying on was quite far from me, but he quickly spotted and killed the snake with lightning speed. Unable to control myself, I t
"We just need to get out of the fog; it's just that we've been stuck in it since yesterday," Alfine explained. “I used to do reconnaissance in the dark and fog; even without a compass, I could guess the direction.” He held out the hand containing Lagan's broken compass. "Your compass is jammed, follow it, and you'll never get out."Lagan held his forehead. "Bad! But you're undeniably perfect; it's wise to let you follow us." Then he changed his face and seriously warned us. “Be careful with everything and don't touch anything, especially colorful things. And remember to follow my footsteps closely, don't accidentally incite any wacky stuff here.""Yes." I took a deep breath to clear my mind.Because I wanted to ensure I didn't make a mistake, my footsteps stepped on Lagan's footprints.Unconsciously, a breeze blew, bringing a few dry leaves down and brushing my cheek; I was startled to stand still, then stroked my chest with my hand, all of which was to scare myself."I didn't expect
Alfine let go of me and stood up, and after a moment of observation, his voice deepened. "Unable to open from the outside, its legs are deeply embedded in the ground and secrete a mucus that forms excellent adhesion."Lagan frowned and began cursing, and after a moment of helplessness to find his way out, he sighed. “I guess he's not here right now; this damn thing is pre-installed when there's an intruder. This one has a switch that can open it; I'm sure it's inside the house."Alfine pondered something; then, he turned his head to look at me. "I'll go inside and find the switch."I immediately reacted to his words. "I'll go with you."“Stand still here.” After saying that, Alfine left.I helplessly followed his back and sighed.Lagan sat on the ground and laughed. "Ignore him, healthy young man; let him do as he pleases."“I guess your friend is tough,” I said as I tried to lift the cage but to no avail."Not only is he tough, he's weird, but he's not bad." Lagan laughed. “I was acc
