HERMIONE'S POVI looked at him in surprise. It's not that I don't want to believe him, but rather it was too hard to comprehend that he marked me willingly and the reason why he looked reluctant was that he was afraid I wouldn't like it.So what am I in his eyes? Does he see me as his mate? Someone he loves and wants to spend the rest of his life with?I held my breath when I felt his large warm hands touch both of my cheeks and he looked at me in the eyes.“I thought you already known what I felt towards you given because of my actions, but it seemed like you didn't.” He softly said while leaning his face closer to mine.“Hermione, my little weak slave, my love, I know that it's a bit inappropriate to say ask you out here without those flashy gifts and so on like what I look up online... but,” he looked at me and solely asked, “I want you to be mine, not just because your my mate and I'm obliged to have you mine.”He added with sincerity. “Can I ask you, as Phoenix Hades Valcarel, no
HERMIONE'S POVI couldn't help but feel worried upon seeing Elizabeth drinking water with a pale face. Her hands were even trembling and when Denver proposed to hold the bottle of water and help her, Elizabeth declined it.“Are you okay? What about the rogues?” I asked while looking at her from top to bottom, making sure that she didn't have any present injuries.Elizabeth took a deep breath and answered, “they retreated. I thought it was already the end, since they retreated and I stopped Denver from going after them for fear that it may be another trap from them. Who would have thought that it was one of their tricks to get our attention and let one of their people go inside of the basement and light it up?”I looked at Phoenix, who didn't even dare to let go of my waist and couldn't help but utter.“Are you going to keep on clinging to me? I have to find out the rogue who had dared come to my base,” I said, while raising my brows at him.Phoenix snuggled on my neck and tightened th
HERMIONE'S POVI waited, we waited for the rogue to open his mouth and started to confess who was the one who wanted to harm me.However, we had been waiting for a long time and he still didn't speak, which made Phoenix, who was short-tempered, stand up and be about to order his subordinates to kill his family, but the rogue saw this and panicked.He choked up and suppressed his tears as his whole body trembled.Seeing him like this, it was quite a pitiful site.Only if I didn't know that he had done such heavy crimes, like killing innocent people, enslaving them, and now... he even tried to harm me by burning my basement, I might forgive him.“I...It was... it was ...” However, no matter how much the rogue tried to say the name of his master, he couldn't do so.His eyes reddened and his whole body trembled.“Fuck! I can't wait for eternity over these stupid things!” Phoenix couldn't help but curse.I was about to say something, when I suddenly saw the change of his eyes. A sharp knif
PHOENIX'S POV“You go back and investigate about this person who wanted to harm my queen.” I looked at Denver who had appeared in our room.Denver looked at Hermione who was sleeping right beside me and there were even traces of red marks on her neck.Seeing him stare at Hermione, my gaze became cold as I pulled the blanket all the way up to Hermione's head, completely hiding her from the eyes of Denver.Denver let out a soft chuckle and looked at me. “Don't worry, I don't have any desires for your mate.”“You want better not it if you still want to live,” I coldly said, reminding him again.Denver shrugged his shoulders and calmly said, “why would I look at Why woman's body when I have my own mate?”“Oh? Did she recognize you as her mate?” I poured a cold water onto his delusions, making his expression crack.“You're very ruthless.” He calmly stated and sat on the chair. “If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be with your mate now.”“Now that you reminded me, I didn't forgot at the time
HERMIONE'S POVIt had been two weeks ever since the incident where we got attacked by those rogues had happened. Now, with the help of my pack's strength, we are now on the way to rebuilding our houses that had been damaged.While in Phoenix, he gets a distress call from his father, leading him to have no choice but to go back.He even expressed that he wanted to stay here there, but after a moment of persuasion, I managed to persuade him to go back to his pack and deal with the businesses he needed to deal with.However, before he left, he sent me three of his trusted knights to guard me.“Luna, we've checked the whole area and so far, there was no rogues lurking around.” It was Ren, one of Phoenix's knights that he sent to protect me, he said with his usual expression.The other two also nodded their heads, completely agreeing with what Ren had said.I nodded my head and looked at them thoughtfully. “Thank you for your hard work. You can now take a rest.”The three of them shook the
HERMIONE'S POVWhen I opened my eyes, flashbacks started to rewind in my head. It reminds me of how I got here and why I am in this situation.My hands were tied on the bed, and so did my legs, preventing me from escaping.When I looked at my surroundings, I found out that other than a door, there were no windows.I don't know what time it is now.The only thing I know is that Elijah had betrayed me.But why?I don't remember engaging in a fight with him nor do we have conflicts. He was good to me and I was also good to him.So why did this happen?!I heard the creaking sound of the door, and into that door, Elijah's satisfied gaze had come into view and he was holding a tray filled with food while walking towards me.“You're already awake, my love.” He softly said and his eyes were lovingly looking at me.The way he looked at me sent me shivers.“Why are you doing this, Elijah? This isn't like you!” I couldn't help but voice out my dissatisfaction as I looked at him.In fact, Elijah
PHOENIX'S POVI rubbed my temples and tried to calm down my throbbing veins as I went outside to find Megan.“What's up, Alpha King?” She said with such an ease while helping the little pup to perform a punch action.“Have you seen Hermione?” I asked her.For some reason, I couldn't explain it, but I felt like something had happened.Megan's brows furrowed. “I've seen her earlier.”Hearing this, I suddenly felt relief. “Where is she?”“She was in the garden, currently watering the plants when I saw here. However, I don't know if she was still there.” Megan answered, and I nodded my head, directly went to the garden to check if she was still there.Although I was relieved after hearing that someone had seen her for as long as I couldn't see her, I wouldn't rest assured even though it's just for a day.The moment I arrived at the garden, I saw her watering the plants diligently and as if she had noticed my presence, she turned to look at me and put down the watering tools and went towar
HERMIONE'S POVA sudden change of the atmosphere, making me look at Elijah and saw his face darkened.“Fuck this persistent shit!” He clenched his jaw and climbed off the bed as he took his coat as well as his knife with him.Guessing from his reaction, it seemed like someone had found out about this location, and I'm sure that it was probably Phoenix's doing.Hah.I suddenly felt relieved.Even my tense muscles had unconsciously relaxed especially after knowing that Phoenix would be here to save me sooner or later.“Then it's all good.” I softly muttered as I closed my eyes.I haven't properly got sleep because I was guarding my body for fear that Elijah would do something inappropriate on it without me knowing, that would be disgusting.Furthermore, I would rather die than bear such humiliation.Besides, I tested this chain last night. I even broke my bones again just to try to see if I could get this chain out of my wrist and my ankles, however it all failed.All because I needed t
