Because of her, I broke the rules.“Change my clothes,” I ordered Roger.Roger raised an eyebrow, mindlessly speaking to me. ‘Why not ask Erza to do it? I think you'll like that.'I didn't answer; I just glanced at him.Andrew was also starting to get annoyed. 'He's so talkative; I want to push him as far as possible. Why can't he be as quiet as Max?''You're a stranger to him asking me those questions?' I asked Andrew and then continued. 'But for the time being, I can't trust anyone else but him. Max is away, and Evelyn also has to deal with the convention.’'How can you trust someone as talkative as Roger?' Andrew growled.'So can you tell me one time Roger didn't do well? Even though he's unreliable on a normal day, he can be trusted when something happens. He's like Max, both with absolute loyalty.' I replied to Andrew.'Okay, you decide for yourself.' Andrew sulked and disappeared.I rubbed my eyelids and glanced at Roger. "Hurry up!"...Erza POV:"I'll go out first." I took the
Just then, Gray and his team arrived.First, Gray's cold gaze swept over me for a few seconds and then stopped at Ryan; he slowly walked over, and without waiting for Ryan to invite him, he naturally sat down in the opposite chair. Of course, Erina is his Luna, she has rights too, but now she's frozen; in those big round eyes, I see a flash of fear as her eyes meet Ryan's.It's not strange; Ryan always knows how to scare others, and rarely doesn't anyone tremble when facing him for the first time. Not far away, I am also a victim, until now every time I think about it, I still shudder."A few days ago, I also came, but it seems your health is not good; you have refused us many times." Gray was the first to speak; then, he paused for a few seconds. “You look perfect today; your health has improved greatly.”Ryan is nonchalant, like he doesn't consider this conversation important. "You too."Gray smiled politely. “We are both Alphas; you and I both know our resilience. It's a strange th
After saying that, I looked at Gray. He has changed a lot compared to what I remember. Could there be downsides to being at the pinnacle of power? I absentmindedly looked at Ryan again; this man was always quiet and cruel. But is there any truth inside? Does Ryan want to become a bloodthirsty man? When he was with me, I could still easily see his gentleness, meaning he was not cold-blooded as rumored.Sensing someone looking at him, Ryan turned to look at me with complicated eyes.I smiled softly and shook my head to say it was nothing."Say, what do you guys want?" It seems that Ryan is more serious now because he is really out of interest and wants to end the conversation quickly.Gray adjusted his emotions after his rage with Blake, and now the two powerful Alphas are facing each other, although, in this room, there are fresh flowers everywhere and the faint smell of essential oils, for some reason, this time. When those fierce eyes met, I sensed the very smell of blood - death.“I
I cried silently, wanting to tell Ryan it was just a misunderstanding. Gray came forward to say something to him, but I couldn't hear him because of the distance.At this time, Roger also leaned close to my ear and whispered. “How dare she dare, but you don't. Are you inferior to that flamboyant girl? Look at that smug face on hers; that arrogance makes me itch.”Roger wanted to provoke me, but he didn't know; I don't have that much envy, and of course, those words don't work on me.It was true what he said; Erina was staring at me, and her lips curled up mockingly after a while. "If you're scared, go home before it's too late, don't follow others there and cry bitterly."I looked at her; I felt it was expected since I was familiar with Erina's talking style.“Who told you not to dare? Did she say it?" Roger lifted his chin confidently. "Erza is someone I trained; she's not afraid of heaven or earth; should she be afraid of those things?"“Hey, Roger…” I nudged Roger in the waist and
It was hard to believe when I found out it was a place still in use.“This place used to be a prison, but it is rarely used now. Because there are so many strange things surrounding this place, few people are willing to go to it.” Ryan explained. "It's not much different from an abandoned house now.""What's so strange?" I shrank back like a turtle. "Is there a ghost?"Ryan lowered his eyes to look at me, and even though he tried to hold back, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his lips. "Miscellaneous thoughts."I swallowed, my legs limp. I'm not a complete believer in the existence of ghosts, but I don't think there isn't either. However, my feelings became so strong also because of the eerie atmosphere around this place, it made my headache uncontrollably, and every ghost movie I've seen replayed in my head.We went inside together; through the door was a space filled with the smell of rust and dampness.Erina frowned and waved her hand in front of her nose. “What a horrible
Ryan POV:After leaving that prison, I took Erza back to the mansion.The whole way, she was silent, very lazy, and moody like a lost soul.I can't understand what she's thinking. Why did just witnessing the death of a traitor make her this way? She also doesn't have a simple quality of a warrior; I suggest tightening her training more than before.We didn't talk to each other until we got back to the villa.Then I received a call from Max; I temporarily left Erza in the room and went out into the hallway to receive the call. "Are they moving?"Max is serious. “Temporarily not. Three days ago, I saw them lead a large force of elite soldiers out to the edge of the forest for drills, but then they retreated as if it were just a normal exercise. But I'm afraid it's not that simple since their practice has a lot of irregularities, but since I'm stupid, I can't conclude the difference. And the important thing, I'm afraid my location has been discovered, and I have to find a new hiding plac
I am cold. "Don't act like a child; honesty isn't befitting a Luna."“I said I never wanted to be Luna. If I became Luna and had to get rid of the emotions of a human and then become ruthlessly murderous, then I don't need that illusory position. I would rather be who I am so my soul can be at ease. How much blood was on the hands of the Alphas? Is it possible that you have never felt a pang of conscience in your hearts?" Erza's voice was initially sweet and pleasant, but now every word was like a knife in my ear, and I could feel the anger that was contained in those tiny words.I frowned, not expecting that one day she would dare to talk to me in the same tone of voice. I am Alpha, my command is supreme, and no one has dared to oppose it, but Erza is an exception. She always has her own opinion and defends it fiercely, but unfortunately, our ideas are not the same.There's one more thing I don't understand, why would she hurt and blame me for someone like Rowan? He and Red River alw
Returning to the room, the servant stood outside the door, calling in a low voice. “Lady Erza, I have prepared lunch. Would you like it now?”Her response was silence.The maid tried calling a few more times, but there was no response.Hearing my footsteps, she reported trembling. “Lady Erza… she locked herself in her room and refused to eat her lunch either.”I frowned; why does she continue to act like a child?“Just leave her alone for a while,” I said softly.The servant was surprised at my statement, but then she bowed her head and left. I stood outside for a while, completely silent inside. I feel a bit nervous; Erza can't be that spontaneous.I knock on the door. “Erza, are you listening to me?”Still the same, she didn't respond.Unable to wait any longer, Andrew began to lose patience and temper, and he shouted. 'Don't wait; go and get her out. We need to talk seriously; I don't want to leave my mate even for a bit.'My mood is not good either. “Don't be in a hurry; maybe she
