TANIAJust like I wanted, the guard approached me. He glanced at me and I unleashed the silver blade in the eye pencil.When he tried to act concerned about me, I stabbed him with the silver blade right in his chest. Luckily, the blade was a poisonous one, so he slumped quickly.I had to grip his body, in order to put him on the floor silently and not attract the other guard’s attention.With that, I straightened my dress and walked silently toward the restroom door. As soon as I reached there, I took a peek. The guards were around the restroom door, and they seemed to be acting normal. While walking back into the restroom, I noticed the red stain on my dress. It must have been from the guard’s body.I turned on the tap, attempting to clean the blood. Just then, the gushing sound from the tap was interrupted by a clicking sound. I turned back, with my hair flowing across the nape of my neck. A masked tall man stood before me with a silver dagger clasped in his hand. I stole a glanc
TANIAI gulped. Fear surged in me as he gave me a dark glare. Trying to ease the scary atmosphere, I faked a chuckle and straightened his shirt with my cuffed hands.“Hehe, I didn't mean to annoy you...” I glanced up at him with a soft gaze. “But I really need these cuffs to be removed from my hands. It's silvery, and it's burning my skin.”I held up my hands, showing him the cuffs and my wrists, which were red and raw from the burns.His gaze softened, then he released his grip from my waist. Dipping his hands into his pockets, he brought a cuff key, causing me to smile.Finally, my wrists will be free. Afterward, I may send a punch to his face and flee from this place.The masked man walked towards me, then he entered the stall and flung the key into the toilet bowl.“What the hell!” I snarled. With a tap from his fingers, I heard the bowl gurgle like it swallowed the key.Then, he moved out of the stall, while I rushed inside. I glanced down at the toilet bowl, and the key had been
TANIAI prayed silently to the moon goddess, then, I followed the masked man. My wolf urged me to check the mansion, but I was frightened. Even if nothing bad happened to Nikolas, I do not wish to return to being his confined mate.It's best I follow the masked man and find the way to Granelma Pack.I carefully stepped on the ground and followed the masked man. He seemed to be strong, and what can I do with my cuffed hands anyway?Soon, we reached the gate and I suddenly lost track of the masked man’s retreating figure. I can't even identify his scent, talk less of trailing his scent.Bang!A loud sound echoed behind me. I turned back. I spotted the same man who opened the stall door with a gun in his hand. He pulled the trigger once, but I was quick to dodge it before running.I ran to wherever my legs took me. But with every step I took, it seemed like that man took three times the step. I tried my best to run faster, but my legs felt wobbly and exhausted.I gasped for breath, and g
TANIA“If you are thinking about traveling to Granelma Pack now, it is not a good idea. The Bloodbath’s men are everywhere, searching for you,” The masked man spoke, causing my heart to squeeze.“Then is it possible to do what you did in the restroom? The man didn't see us, you did something, didn't you?” I asked.“Yes, I did. But it can't be used since it needs to be repaired.”I leaned forward, “Alright, can it be repaired right now?”He shook his head in response, “No, not now, and not in some months.”I sighed, feeling frustrated. ZIVAI screamed, staring at the silver-furred wolf that was my reflection. Even Anji heard my scream. She rushed into my room, with her eyes glancing at every spot in my room, then at me.“What’s wrong? I heard you scream!” She exclaimed, rushing towards me.I chuckled in relief, and touched her hands, “You won't believe this, Anji. I saw my wolf!”She moved her head back and chuckled, “Is this a joke?”“No! I'm serious!” I replied, but she looked dazed
XANDER“Fighting,” Alexei replied, and Ziva chuckled. My stomach churned at that moment. They behaved like they were family members... No, they behave more like a couple. Just as the rogue said, Ziva is the key to the Crystal Moon Guardian. She knew about it, but she continued to keep it to herself. That sneaky Darwin’s daughter!I will find out about everything... Soon! I just need to play along.While having breakfast, Ziva and Alexei continued to chat with wide smiles on their faces like I didn't exist. I almost snapped out in anger, intending to shove the table away and teach them some manners. Instead, I calmed myself and recalled my plans.“We just need to play along, Maz, and we will have the information to ourselves,” I muttered to Maz. “There is no need for a reminder. I'm focused and determined,” Maz growled.~~~Alexei and I reached the vast, racing field with tall grasses swaying in the wind. The sun is shining, and the sky is a bright, clear blue. I and Alexei stood a
ZIVAI was at the hospital, as concern and worry filled my heart at the sight of Alexei’s feet. He must be in so much pain, and the doctor had to put him to sleep.Then, Xander barged in, causing chaos and threatening the doctor. He boiled in rage and stormed out of the hospital.Gosh, he must be very worried, especially when he is the one who arranged the thistles on the field.As soon as he left, Lance turned to me. He scratched his head and whispered, “I think you should follow him.”“What?! Why me?” I asked quickly. Alpha Xander’s temper would only increase if I followed him since he despised me already. To be honest, he can murder me out of rage.“You are his wife,” Lance uttered, causing me to scoff.“Do you remember what happened the other time? He tried to kill me with that Agony Collar,” I replied, intending to remind him of the past occurrence.“Yes, that happened. But he admitted you to the hospital right away. Also, this is your duty as his wife.”“Beta Lance, you are very
ZIVAShould I call it magical or breathless? Words can't describe how I felt. Was it the giddy feeling? Or the butterflies that danced in my stomach? Yeah, both. ^^I smiled and recalled how he touched my cheeks. I touched them, feeling their warmth and I couldn't help but recall the whole kissing scene again. “Lady Ziva,” A masculine voice called out, jolting me out of the sweet memory. I glanced at the wall, and Lance came into view.“Alexei is conscious,” Lance spoke with a smile.“That’s great news,” I replied, and walked out of the small room, reaching Alpha Xander’s room. “But what about the poison? Did they find a solution?” I questioned, concerned about Alexei’s health.“There is no solution yet, but with Alpha Xander’s suggestions, the swelling reduced,” Lance narrated, while I nodded with excitement brimming in me.“Shouldn’t you be with Alexei then?”“Alpha Xander is with him. Though, Alpha seems calm.”I blushed. Was he calm because of the kiss?“I should take my leave
XANDERAn affair?Hold on, that's a better option than telling Alexei that I kissed Ziva. If I told him that I kissed Ziva, he might think of Ziva more as a family than our enemy and trust her blindly. But if I told him that I kissed a random she-wolf, he would roll it off his mind since it’s fine to have a mistress.“Yes, I have. Just today,” I replied. I placed the flask gently on the table and I unwrapped it.“Hm, I know Ziva will be annoyed if she finds out, so keep it a secret. She wouldn't like sharing you with another woman. But who is this person anyway?” Alexei began. He winked, “The person seems to be good at taming you.” Then, he snapped his fingers, “I guess it was the same kiss that made you calm.”“I guess so,” I replied, but he didn't stop talking.“What was it like? Rough?”I let out a sigh, “Alexei, don't cross the boundary with your nonsensical questions.”“Come on, it's just a harmless question!” Alexei spoke, as he glared at me, “Anyway, you are the one who made
