Xavier's anticipation was palpable as he arrived at the designated location, an elegant, old-looking castle that stood in stark in a vast land. However, as he stepped inside, his excitement quickly turned to disappointment. The lady who was introduced to him had short gold hair and black eyes that held a certain allure, but she was not his mate.His heart sank as he realized that the search for his beloved would continue. The castle's opulence and grandeur seemed to mock his hopes, and he struggled to hide his disappointment. Despite his inner turmoil, he maintained his composure, his features betraying only a flicker of sadness.In the opulent drawing room, the lady's parents, who exuded an air of wealth and refinement, engaged in a polite conversation with him. Their voices were filled with cordiality, but Xavier couldn't shake the feeling that he was a mere pawn in their games of status and influence.As the conversation continued, a delicate figure peeked from behind the heavy dra
Lilith sat cross-legged on her bed, engrossed in the pages of a captivating book. Her face was buried within its depths as she lost herself in the world of words. The room was quiet, save for the rustling of pages and the occasional sound of her breath.Suddenly, a gust of wind whistled through the room, causing the curtains to billow and dance. Lith looked up, her eyes widening in surprise, as the window that had always been locked swung open with a creak. The wind seemed to beckon her, inviting her to embrace the unknown that lay beyond.Startled, Lilith remembered her parents' strict instructions never to open the window. Concern etched across her face as she scrambled off the bed, a sense of urgency propelling her movements. She hurriedly made her way towards the open window, determined to secure it shut before any unwanted consequences could occur.As she reached out to grasp the window latch, her heart pounding in her chest, the book she had been engrossed in slipped from her gr
Lith lay on her bed, her thoughts consumed by the enigmatic man she had glimpsed through her window. The memory of their locked gazes played on a loop in her mind, stirring a whirlwind of emotions within her. She found herself yearning for something more, something beyond the boundaries of her confined existence.As her mind wandered through the possibilities, an audacious idea suddenly sparked in her thoughts—a chance to escape the constraints of her surroundings and embark on an adventure of her own. The notion took hold of her, igniting a fire within her spirit that she couldn't ignore.Without hesitation, Lith jumped off her bed, determination propelling her movements. She hurriedly made her way to a hidden corner of her room, where she had carefully concealed a bundle of clothes twisted together to form a makeshift rope. It was her secret preparation for a moment just like this, a desperate attempt at freedom.Her hands trembled slightly as she unraveled the twisted fabric, her mi
The enigmatic man called out to Lilith, his voice breaking the silence of the room. "Hey, hey, hey!" he exclaimed, snapping his fingers in front of her face. The abrupt sound and movement jolted Lilith out of her daze, bringing her back to the present moment.She blinked, her eyes refocusing on the man standing before her. Confusion mixed with a trace of fear clouded her expression as she struggled to regain her composure."What were you thinking?" he scolded, his tone laced with a hint of concern as his gaze was locked on her. "You should never attempt such a reckless escape. Your family has their reasons for keeping you here."Lith's heart sank as his words sank in. She had been caught, her secret plans unraveling before her eyes. A mixture of embarrassment and disappointment washed over her, realizing the futility of her attempted escape.Her eyes followed the man's gaze as he glanced towards the twisted cloth rope she had painstakingly created. Without hesitation, he reached out a
Lilith's heart filled with gratitude as she attempted to express her thanks to Chul for his assistance and guidance. However, her words fell upon deaf ears as he remained unresponsive, his cold expression unchanged. The air in the room seemed to thicken with an unspoken tension, leaving Lith uncertain of Chul's intentions or the reasons behind his stoic demeanor.Without uttering a single word, Chul turned towards the door, his steps purposeful and resolute. As he reached the threshold, he paused, his hand resting on the doorknob. With a stern gaze fixed upon Lith, he finally broke the silence."Stay within this room until my men and I have gone far enough that you can't fathom," he commanded, his voice firm and devoid of any trace of warmth. His words carried a sense of urgency, hinting at unseen dangers that lay beyond the castle walls.Lith nodded, a mixture of confusion and apprehension clouding her expression. She understood the weight of his warning and the necessity of caution.
In the dead of night, Lilith's eyes fluttered open, her determination to escape pulsating through her veins. She had reached a breaking point, and the longing for freedom outweighed the fear that had held her captive for so long. Carefully, she slipped out of her bed, ensuring not to make a sound that might alert her parents or the guards.Lilith tiptoed to a hidden corner of her room, where the strange guy had meticulously placed plates on the wall to aid in her escape.Pulling up the curtains, she stared at her means of escape with a smile on her face."I'll be free now," she assured herself.Gripping onto the first plate, she tested its sturdiness before placing her weight upon it. The metal groaned softly, but held. She took a deep breath, her heart pounding in her chest, as she began to climb.Silently, she ascended the wall, using the plates as her makeshift ladder. The adrenaline fueled her every move, pushing her closer to the freedom she craved. The night air whispered agains
Alpha Xavier Chul stood at the center of the grand hall, his commanding presence emanating strength and authority. The elders, wise and experienced members of his pack, listened intently as he addressed them. His voice resonated through the chamber, carrying a mixture of determination and concern."My esteemed elders, I stand before you today with a heavy heart. The search for my mate has been arduous and filled with countless obstacles. I have traversed vast lands, followed every lead, and encountered faces that held promise but were not the one I seek."The elders exchanged glances, their expressions reflecting a combination of sympathy and concern. Whispers filled the air, discussing the significance of the alpha's quest and the toll it had taken on him and the pack."Alpha Chul, we understand the importance of finding your mate. But perhaps it is time to shift our focus. Our pack needs your leadership and guidance now more than ever," Elder Jones stood up and contributed."Yes, Xa
Xavier Chul, seated comfortably in the back of his luxurious limousine, spoke into his phone with a calm and composed demeanor. His voice exuded authority and confidence as he conversed with an important guest."Good afternoon, Mr. Johnson. I hope you're having a pleasant day," Xavier said, his tone polite yet authoritative. "I wanted to discuss the recent developments regarding our investment portfolio. It seems there has been a significant increase in market volatility, and I believe it's crucial for us to reassess our current strategy."As Xavier engaged in the conversation, his attention was momentarily diverted by an intriguing sight on the main road. His eyes narrowed as he observed a young girl walking beside an elderly man. A murmur escaped his lips as he muttered to himself, barely audible, "So she escaped? I didn't expect her to get away."Despite his surprise, Xavier remained focused on the phone call, maintaining his professional demeanor. "Mr. Johnson, we need to address
