Despite the utter sleepiness, Ghino lifted half of his body and turned his sceptical expression at me. "Nathan, are you even listening to yourself? You're only making things worse. What do you think will happen to us without the pack? We'll become lone wolves. A lone wolf will not get any protection. I'm a half-cyborg. No companies will accept me. And worst of all, we were still studying. And you were used to an easy life. What can we accomplish by that?" I only stated one idea to prove our love will somehow exist amidst the cruelty of the world. However, Ghino had already given me a million reasons that those dreams and fantasies being drawn into our brains can barely be given colours. And it kinda hurt my feelings that we are not on the same page even if I believed we love each other. I'm only doing what I think is right. For both of us. Why can't love just be enough for two people to be happy? "How about this? We'll wait for your turn to become the next king and alp
Days have passed by, everything went well according to our plan. Ghino works with me as my personal assistant, bodyguard, and driver all at the same time. He always wakes me up in the morning, prepares my meals every time I woke up late, checks and organizes my daily schedule as the prince, and drives me in and out of the mansion with or without Melissa. But most of the days were without Melissa. For what it's worth, we always make use of our limited time in the world, especially when we dropped by his apartment. We never miss making love every time we were in his apartment. On the bed, in the kitchen, couch, and even in the bathroom. And all of that was beyond everyone's knowledge. No one knows about the forbidden love we are doing except me and Ghino. Some, specifically Melissa, might be feeling suspicious every time I went home late, but I always come up with a better excuse. But I always keep in touch with her every time I will be home late. To make it up to h
After our morning class ended, Melissa and I immediately headed out of the room to continue the tour. The last time I had her tour the school, most of the rooms and departments were closed. Now that the school is back, I decided to tour her the remaining places we haven't visited, especially Ghino's department. "How about we should have our lunch first? It's already noon, Nathan. We only have one hour before our afternoon class. Let's have the tour tonight. And besides, it's super hot outside. What do you think?" Melissa highly suggested it. Melissa was right. The temperature was indeed sweating and sizzling outside. I don't want Melissa's glowing skin to get burns or rashes. But we are already far from our department's canteen. On the bright side, Ghino's canteen department was just a few steps already. So, I decided to have our lunch in their department. "Prince Nathan? Lady Melissa?" Nadine's eager voice greeted us even from afar. When I got the chance to gl
Melissa deliberately removed her face from me and displayed a smile on her face, "ah. I remember now. You fully paid Ghino's debt worth half a million dollars just to unmate me. How sweet of you, Nathan? How I wish I could have someone like you in my life." Melissa and Ghino's friends who are not aware of the payment transaction enlarged their eyes with their mouths shut off. I can't see Ghino's reaction when he was standing behind me, holding Lilith's waistline. His hand was trying to tell me that he is going to stop Lilith from whatever announcement she is going to announce. But his hatred towards Lilith was obviously blazing in fire. That makes the two of us. "I'm so sorry, miss, whoever you are. As you can see, we were surrounded by twenty security guards. Why do you think someone to be my slave when I can do whatever I want?" Melissa said back. "Oh. I forgot to introduce myself. Apology, my Lady. My name is Lilith. Not the Lilith that you know in the human
As soon as they could build a strong relationship, they will hold onto it. Ghino will start valuing Melissa as his friend. And Melissa will do the same to Ghino. They will be depending on each other like what happened between me and Ghino. Worst-case scenario, whatever relationship we could have will swirl between the three of us. Melissa loves me. Ghino loves me. And I love Ghino. In the end, Melissa will be the one to get hurt. Shit. While holding onto that thought, I could barely see a better future between the three of us if Ghino and Melissa will become close friends. It will only lead us to heartaches, betrayal, and destruction. But, what am I supposed to do to make sure the two will not become close friends? Melissa even has their digits already. And as far as I could remember, Ghino already likes Melissa's strong personality. After my first presentation, out of the five songs, that I am going to perform, I had my fifteen minutes break joining Melissa, Ghin
A few minutes later, Melissa's wonderful party has turned into continuous fist fights, broken glasses and plates, and tumbled tables that were scattered on the floor. Aside from that, our faces were also covered in blood, wounds, and bruises. If not because of the restaurant's security guards and servers who eased us off, our fist fight may continue to the point that some of us, either me or Ghino, might shift into a wolf right in front of everyone. Some of the party-goers immediately disappeared from the building to make sure they will not get involved with our fight. I also ordered one of the security guards to send Melissa back to our mansion. "Ghino, your lips are bleeding." Nathan reached out to my face but I quickly shoved his hand away from me. "I'm fine. Go home, Nathan. Melissa might be looking for you if you're not there." Ghino said back as he straightened his crumpled clothes. After straightening his clothes, Ghino leapt back to his friends and open
"The question here now is... Are you challenged?" I'm not gonna lose to Ghino. So, this time, I simply pasted my lips against his and waited for who will give up first. Waiting for the first to slightly move our lips or move away. Currently, both our eyes are closed while feeling each other's soft scented lips. Ghino is trying to hold onto his breath while listening to each other's racing heartbeats. "Don't do this, Nathan," Ghino muttered without even moving the corner of his lips. Afraid to let go of first. "Have mercy on me." "Mercy is for the weak, Ghino. You're not the weak Ghino anymore. And I love the way you are now. Aggressive and fighter." Similar to Ghino, it was the warm air coming from our mouth and nose that resounded our responses. "But, I'm not gonna let you win this time, Nathan. So, what could it be?" Ghino said back. I let go of my hands from his hands and crawled them to his neck, gently rubbing them back and forth between his cheeks. "Then
Before I hopped out of the car, I first reached out to Ghino's digits to check if he was already awake since his first subject will start at 9:30. And he only have thirty more minutes before his class commence. "Are you in your classroom now?" I asked the second he answered the call. Ghino's continuous breathing was evident that he was running. Could even hear the stuff in his backpack shaking. "I'm still driving, Nathan. Can I call you back?" He asked. "Are you still using the bike I gave you?" "Yeah. And if you will not end the call, I might have an accident before I could reach the school." Ghino chuckled. "By the way, your dad dropped by my apartment. He gave me a small box of something. But I haven't checked what's inside of it because I was in a hurry. Could you please tell your dad my appreciation?" Ghino did not even wait for my answer as he ended the call right away. Because I did not get any information about this time box, I started to feel restless
