After returning from Nikki's apartment, Karl approached Pierre and Alec, who were waiting for him in his study room.
"You can go, Agnes.""Yes, Your Majesty," Agnes bowed respectfully. Only a few steps the servant left, he stopped her steps. "Agnes?"The woman turned to face Karl. "Yes, Your Majesty?""Once again I find you being rude to my girlfriend and all the mixed-blood members of the Smith clan as I saw earlier, your fate will be the same as the maid that I fired yesterday. Understand?"The woman swallowed hard, nodded fearfully. “Y-yes, Your Majesty. I will try it—"“Not try. But do it. Understand? Now is not the time to be selfish. I'm the leader. My territory, my rules.""I-I understand, Your Majesty," the woman lowered her head in fear, then ran as fast as lightning left the study room. Surely the woman thought he saw her attitude to Rebecca and Nikki earlier. The truth was, he did not see it by himself.Today, Febrina intended to introduce the man who was now officially her boyfriend after their first meeting at the bar that night—Gavin Brooklyn—to her younger sister, Veronica. Indeed, she always introduced her boyfriend to Vero, to ask for blessings from her younger sister, who was the only family she had, after their parents divorced and abandoned them both. But this time, it was different. Because she was about to introduce her first non-human boyfriend, as she was not sure how Veronica would react when she learned that Gavin was not human. Should she tell her sister about Gavin's real identity, or keep it a secret for herself?"Morning, Sis," with a big yawn, her younger sister walked out of her room, greeting her with her eyes still half-closed. Her younger sister walked to the kitchen, grabbed a glass and drank the water, then looked at her in amazement. "It's unusual for you to stay at home even though it's nine in the morning.""Y-yes, sometimes it's goo
Gavin looked doubtful as he said it. Several times she found him chewing his own lips while looking around as if worrying about something."Gavin? I won't know what's going on until you say it straight away. So, what's the problem?"Once again, the man expressed his panic—something he had never shown to her before. He continued to wait a few minutes until finally, Gavin was sure to say it. "You guys shouldn't be here any longer. Someone's after your little sister.""Targeting Vero?" she repeated in disbelief, trying to hold back the volume of her voice so that it was not too loud as she did not want her younger sister to hear her surprise. "Who's after my sister?""I explained to you before, remember? In our first meeting after you nearly got attacked by werewolves from another territory, about Schneider werewolf clan that is trying to create their own version of a new world?""Yes, I still remember about that part. Then?"
Stephen immediately got out of Karl's car as soon as he saw Gavin, who was seriously injured, along with Karl ran after him. He did ask the man to evacuate Nikki and her sister from their apartment as soon as Karl alerted Nikki to danger. He just thought at that time that maybe Nikki would only be targeted by Schneider's men. That was why he was a bit reluctant when Karl proposes to follow Gavin from a distance, making sure that their rescue plan went well according to their plan. Not surprising indeed, considering that he clearly knew Karl, who attaches great importance to perfectionism in whatever he did.His eyes saw for himself how Karl went straight into Gavin's car to meet Nikki, creating a spark of irritation mixed with jealousy in his heart. A feeling he knew that he should not have that.Actually, it was also the reason why he was a bit reluctant to follow. It was the fact that Karl and Nikki were officially dating when he decided to keep his dista
Veronica did not know whether her decision to turn herself into William in exchange for the safety of all those dearests to her was the right decision or not. She even did not know at all and could not decide it. All she knew was that the man who was now walking beside her, humming cheerfully, would not touch them for a while. At least for now. And at least that was what she wanted to believe. She could only hope by fate that the man, who looked like a man in his mid-thirties (Karl had already told her that he was much older than Karl) would keep his word. She had already stepped into a strange dimensional portal that the white robe man made it, brought them instantly into a castle with a dark interior, looked ancient, eerie. She saw a lot of people immediately lined up neatly to salute the man every time they crossed the castle corridor. Her eyes scanned the surroundings of the castle, which was so gloomy, made her body trembled in fear so much that sh
The man's eyes blinked for a moment, then locked again on the ball that was still in his hand, smiling a gentle smile that contrasted with his stern masculine face."This guy is my entertainer. Remember when you were little and often played in the forest?"Now, there was one more person in her past that she barely remembered, appeared in front of her, claiming to be the person she met in the past. The difference was that she did not know the man's existence in her memories at all. Never did she remember that she had met an arrogant-looking man with William's dishevelled appearance until the last before her legs were crushed and had to be amputated."I believe you have something I need," the man said as he tucked the ball back into his bomber jacket, staring at her so awkward
Karl was furious, unable to contain his anger any longer when he heard directly from Gavin the cause of the failure of his plan. He should have listened to Erick's advice a while ago when he asked him to be wary of his ex-fiancée. From a long time ago, the woman was brought up with excessive affection from the people around her, forming a spoiled personality who did not want to admit defeat in the slightest. Thinking that as long as he could still get it, he would get it even if she had to use the dirty trick. Like attacking Nikki. In fact, he had repeatedly told Odelia that their engagement was annulled, even before it was actually formalized. He did not know what was that woman thinking in her minds that brought her to think that they were still officially engaged. Even to the delusion that he and the woman wore engagement rings as an official sign of their relationship.In fact, only the woman used it, because she did not use it at all. The first thing he did
Erick could not help himself but laugh when he saw Theodore's high enthusiasm––his boyfriend who had just fully recovered after an attack from a bastard who now could no longer hurt him after Karl killed him, that he had already prepared a flight ticket to Madrid for four days. Like now, dragging him to shop in one of the biggest shopping malls in Waterford city, reasoning he wants to buy new clothes and luggage. The reason he could understand was that in his entire life, his boyfriend had never set foot out of the Waterford area.It did not matter to him. As long as he could still see the big smile on the man's face, who always managed to distract his world from anything. Making his attention only focused on the man, who was now inviting him to enter Valentino's boutique. He enjoyed every second of his time with Theo, looking at the serious, considerate face of the man as he chose what clothes to wear."Uh, Eric, hello! You didn't forget to tak
Stephen was outside the empty room that turned the function into the Gavin treatment room, close up all his hands anxiously. He was not thinking about Gavin's condition, as the medical teams already told him that Gavin should be getting better soon. But he was anxious, thinking about Nikki, which he still had no updates about her condition after the woman chose to accept William, and he did not get any news from Karl yet.He continued to stare at his legs, violating his stupidity because he had felt intimidated by a strong werewolf aura from William Schneider. He should be beating the man instantly, so there would be no chance for the man to get Nikki. So he could still see Nikki, which might be currently beside him, smiling softly with her angelic smile that similar to the painting of Rennaissance.But in fact, the woman was not with him right now. Not beside him. She was not here to scolding him––even though he doubted the last part because he had n
