Author's point of view... Shifting into a beautiful white wolf, Scarlett paced quickly, her feet scarcely making contact with the ground, as the moon illuminated the plains in a silvery glow. As she planned to distract Adrian, she asked Rona to break all the magical barriers around her. Though for the second time in her life, she was now a complete divine wolf. The blue mark of glory on her forehead shone brightly with an otherworldly resemblance. She looked amazing even in her wolf form. While shifting into her wolf, she thought she would be fast enough to escape Adrian but she never thought he would be catching up to her in no time. Shouldn't he be worried about his caravan? Why the heck is he still chasing me? Scarlett wondered when she noticed Adrian didn't hesitate following her into the darkness of the groves. She glanced back again and again, her heart pounding, seeing Adrian's silhouette gaining on her. "No shit...! This is not going to happen" she muttered
Author's point of view... With a flick of her eyelids, Scarlett's sleepy blur gave way to the soft light coming through the canopy overhead. Her head pounded, and she could feel the ground underneath her being chilly. Slowly, awareness seeped back into her consciousness, and she realized she was lying on something soft, almost like a cushion. She shifted slightly, only to feel a gentle, steady rise and fall beneath her head. "Don't move..." a manly voice hushed softly. Her heart skipped a beat. She lifted her head and turned it to see a man sitting beside her, his eyes twinkling with amusement. His short, well-groomed beard and unkempt golden hair accentuated his tough yet kind features. His smile was warm, reassuring, and a little bit teasing. She froze on the spot. He was the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life. Adrian...! Is it a dream? She was lying on his lap and looking at him. If that was a dream, it felt so surreal. "Good morning," he said softly.
Author's point of view... As they walked through the dense forest, Adrian kept a steady hand on Scarlett's waist, supporting her as she hobbled along. Despite the pain, she couldn't help but notice the gentle, almost protective way he guided her. He seemed rather pale and exhausted, but he never let her know that. The gentle crunch of leaves beneath their feet and the distant cries of birds were the only sounds they made as they travelled silently. After what felt like hours, they reached a small clearing with a stream running through it. Glistening in the sunlight, the water offered a brief reprieve from their misery. "Let's take a break here," Adrian suggested, helping Scarlett to sit on a smooth rock near the stream's edge. He knelt beside her, carefully inspecting her ankle. "The swelling's gone down a bit. We should clean the wound and bandage it properly." She smiled. Scarlett was the divine goddess, she could heal her injury in the blink of an eye but unknowingl
Author's point of view... In the cosy stillness that enveloped them, they sat like that for some time, their relationship becoming closer by the second. Scarlett finally used her magical powers of healing to heal his wounds. Adrian could hardly contain his excitement at seeing everything. At last, she was ready to let him see who she really was. The one he had been searching for years and the one who was made for him is one person, Scarlett, his mate. After healing, Scarlett stood up, "Let's head back," she said immediately, her voice filled with urgency. Adrian looked at her. He wanted to spend some more time with her alone. After all, it wasn't easy for him to find her. "Let's rest for a while more" he pretended to be fatigued as he said, "I feel tired." Scarlett heaved a sigh. She had no idea what had transpired in the caravan, or if Rona had managed to rescue Catherine. Adrian slowly grabbed her hand and made her sit beside him. Scarlett's mind was in a mess b
Author's point of view... The royal warriors advanced precision, overwhelming Rona’s men with sheer numbers and superior tactics. Rona never wanted a fight but he was forced to fight fiercely to get his way out, his blade clashing against the enemy's, but the odds were impossible. The royal warriors were all trained ones whereas Rona and his men were mere assassins. Despite Rona's immense strength, facing a hundred even stronger warriors was no easy feat. They were no match for the royal army. One by one, his men fell to the ground and some ran away. In no time, Rona was the only one left standing. With a final, defiant cry, Rona swung his sword, but it was knocked from his grasp, and he was forced to his knees, a sword at his throat. A tall figure stepped forward, removing his helmet. It was Kevin, his eyes cold and calculating while a smirk tugged on his lips. "Welcome, Mr. Wuji," Kevin said as one of his subordinates lifted Rona's head. Seeing him made Rona jolt. R
Author's point of view... "It was all your plan...!" she felt deceived, "Release him...! Release my brother! He didn't do anything bad...Why did you capture him?" Adrian turned, his expression shifting from satisfaction to surprise. "Your brother....!" he said, his voice calm but firm, "I thought he was an intruder, who tried to harm my men. So, was he your brother? Then you are involved in this too?" he remarked sarcastically. Scarlett felt heartbroken at his sudden change. Wasn't he just now confessing his love for her? Was that all fake? Of course, that was all fake. She scoffed in her mind. Why would a man like Adrian, like her, a lost descendant of a vanished bloodline? He just needed her for her unique blood. So that he could use her. It was all his plan...! "Aah...! I should have told my men to torture him to ask who else was involved in his intrusion. If you are one of them, I should capture you too..." Adrian's sudden change of attitude was like a stab in Sca
Author's point of view... Scarlett was bent down to her knees. Feeling helpless, she squeezed her eyes shut. Adrian knelt beside her and looked at her. His heart sank. This wasn't what he wanted.She wanted her to be his, only his but not like this. "I'm sorry, Scarlett," Adrian mumbled under his breath, his heart ached, "I know you hate me but at least you will be safe". The more she was in pain, the more he struggled internally. She had no idea what he was going through when he saw her like that. Scarlett hung her head and cried. Catherine was captured. Rona was beaten so harshly, even she was in his grip right now. Her life was shattered. Adrian sighed and knelt before her, his eyes earnest. He wanted to touch her but hesitated. "I never wanted it to come to this, Scarlett. But you left me no choice. We have to end this conflict..." Before he could say any further, she lifted her gaze and glared at him, her eyes filled with mere hatred and disgust. Those beautiful
Author's point of view... Adrian was standing in one of the tents, deep in thought, his hands crossed behind him. Kevin entered the tent to report something. "My lord...!" he called Adrian but there was no response from him. "Alpha...!" Kevin called again and it was then that Adrian finally jolted back to reality. He turned around bewildered. "What is it?" Adrian asked immediately, Kevin took a few seconds to recover. It was his first time to see his Lord so out of place, so disturbed. "Are you thinking about that monster again, My lord?" Kevin asked concerned and Adrian sighed. Ever since Alpha Xian met Adrian again, Adrian's thoughts had been troubled. "Yes..." he walked over and sat in a chair. Kevin stood silently. "He doesn't have a body, it's just a soul. Are you sure he can do anything to us?" Kevin asked. Adrian leaned back as he replied, "That man had been practising black magic and had exceeded in it. I am afraid no one among us is a match for him." Kevin g
