ADELIA
Chirping birds at the window stirred me up from my slumber. My eyelashes fluttered before I slowly opened my eyes and slowly woke up. After a few deep breaths, I realized that my body felt comfortable and energized.
“How long have I been sleeping?” I murmured on the sheets.
‘The last thing I remembered, I fell asleep in the car and used Lewis’ thighs as my pillow. Then, he teased me before carrying me up and bringing me to be,’ I thought to myself.
‘So… I ended up falling back to sleep…’
I lowered my eyes and stared at the king size bed. It was the same room that I slept on the first night that I stayed here – the room where the Symbol of Talascar could be found. Even without thinking about it, it was obvious that the room belonged to Lewis. I licked my dry lower lip before sitting up.
“So pretty,” I could no
ADELIA“Okay,” Lewis started to say. “You were looking scared when I saw you earlier. Please tell me. What’s wrong?” He asked me, effectively making me recall the anxiousness that I earlier felt. And in my mind, I saw the images of my visions I previously saw.Lewis gave me a deep and concerned look before sitting beside me. Then, he called my name, “Lia.”“You can tell me. We are a team now, aren’t we?”“Ah,” I softly exclaimed.I blinked at him. ‘Could it be… he wants me to tell him about my worries?’ I thought to myself.While it is true that we are in the same team and I am under Lewis’ protection, I should not bother him with my useless anxieties – that was what I thought.Through the years, I have learned to keep everything to myself. Even in my visions, there was never a time whe
LEWIS“Block all the roads. No one is allowed to cross the borders.”Roughly an hour after my conversation with Lia, I was sitting in the middle of my study with most of the high-ranking werewolves in the pack was gathered.“I am deploying everyone, including those who are on vacation. Block all entry and exit to the royal castle. Don’t let a single fly go out,” I ordered in a stern voice.It was a highly treasonous statement that would surely send a werewolf to the dungeon. Despite this, everyone in the room calmly accepted my order.“Yes, alpha,” without hesitation, they simultaneously declared.I put my elbow on top of the table and placed my chin on my palm. “Any question?” I asked them.My question was like a trigger that set everyone excited. In just a snap of a finger, their serious faces turned eager and passionate.&ld
LEWISThere is a saying that I often dismissed. It says, karma comes after everyone eventually.That saying could only affect the weak ones - or so I thought. I have the power to overcome anything including karma - or so I believed.But when I looked at the little woman with flushed cheeks who was standing next to me, I knew that karma already came knocking at my door.'Damn it,' I secretly swore as I tried to maintain an innocent look on my face.At that moment, Lia's blushing cheeks were more noticeable than usual. She was wearing a casual white t-shirt that fits her small frame nicely, and a pair of fitted jeans that showed off her gorgeously shaped legs. Her still wet hair was casually falling on her shoulders and she smelled like my shampoo.Her own fragrance mingled with the scent of my shampoo was enough to drive my wolf mad.Lia sent me a small, shy smile and my body suddenly hea
ADELIAMy eyes fluttered open and saw the familiar part of the great forest. It has been a few hours since we left the Pack of Talascar, and looking outside, it seemed that we were already near the territory of Emoresi.I squinted my eyes before letting out a small yawn. All I could remember was getting inside the car with Lewis. I did not realize I fell asleep, and for a few hours at that. Thinking about this made my face turn warmer, especially when I stole a glance at the driver’s seat.To my surprise, it was a young woman with flaming red hair who was driving the car. My eyes widened because before I fell asleep, it was Lewis who was driving the car.“Are you awake?” Suddenly, I heard someone say from above me. Hurriedly, I lifted out my chin to see Lewis’ face a few inches from mine. My eyes widened even more as my cheeks flushed red.“Ah,” I softly mumbl
ADELIAI have a small and humble house in the outskirts of the town. One could say that it was one of the worst locations in the territory. However, it was also the cheapest and the only place I could afford with my salary at the flower shop in the nearest human town.Although it was not much, for me, it was my home, my safe place that I go home to everyday.To see it in a state of shamble... it was shocking and hurting. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.'Why would they do this?' I thought to myself. 'It's only been two days since I was gone... why would they destroy my home?'I opened my eyes and once again saw my devastated house. The door and windows were all broken. My personal things were smashed and crushed, and my small selection of clothing were torn apart.'Was it father? Before he attended the gathering, he came here and broke my table already,' I thought. Inside my chest
LEWIS I was called the cruel alpha because of one reason, and that was my belief that if you were my enemy, then it would not matter who you are.You would still experience a fate worse than death.For years, I have lived by that thought. And whenever someone slighted me, I would not hesitate to retaliate and bring hell to him.I never thought that there would come a time when I would clench my fists to stop myself from attacking. However, I did not regret it, because in my heart I knew that it was the right choice.After all, everything else goes after her, and my immediate priority is to look after her well-being.‘Is she feeling any better?’ I thought as I looked at Lia. It was a couple of minutes after that bastard came and invited us to his villa.I did not have the slightest interest in coming over to his estate and had a strong idea of rejecting his offer. However, th
LEWIS "Welcome to my villa, Alpha and Luna of Talascar," an annoying voice stated, interrupting my embrace with Lia.'But what is this bastard doing here?' I thought as I coldly looked at that bastard Alec. 'He isn't the type of person who would personally welcome his guests like this.'Alec was also known for being cold. Aside from when he was welcoming the members of the royal family, there was never a time when he personally received his guests.'He is definitely not trying to welcome me. Then, it could only mean one thing.' My eyes turned gloomy.True enough, I caught the bastard looking at Lia. Though he did not show any emotions on his face, his eyes stayed on eyes longer than he looked at me.Suddenly, I heard Lia's heart beat faster. I narrowed my eyes and looked at her, only to see that she was slightly flustered.'Oh. That's right,' I thought. 'This is the first time their eye
ADELIA'Wha-what is this?'Slightly trembling, I raised the clothing that was prepared for me.It was a couple of minutes after we arrived at Alec's villa. Similar to what I saw in my vision, the villa was huge and has a modern design. However, although it looked beautiful, it looked quite cold. Like a museum that was not opened to the public.Since it was already late at night, Alec's pack prepared a simple dinner for us as well as our night bath. There were two bathrooms that we prepared, so Lewis and I simultaneously took a bath.I was more comfortable than I thought I would be. In fact, I even enjoyed the warm bath that was prepared for me. Everything was going well - that was, until I saw the clothing that they prepared for me.I blushed from my forehead to toe as I stared at the little piece of clothing on my hand. It was a sexy black nightgown with a spaghetti strap.That was stil
