“What happened here?!” Terry and Samantha burst in, but it was already too late. Ruan was gone. The room was in a mess, and Kaliyah was a statue on where she stood. She was dazed as she stared at the terrace where Ruan escaped to. “T-The alpha went on rampage!” one of the guards who tried to stop him answered, pointing at the broken things inside. Stammering, another added, “he’s a beast! He turned to a beast! Monster!” “WHO SAID HE’S A MONSTER?!” Kaliyah approached the man who called Ruan a monster, kicking him hard on his stomach that the man groaned in pain. He clutched his abdomen that she hit, bowing to her in apology. But Kaliyah was irrevocably mad! She hated that someone which Ruan cared for and protected would be someone who will also call him a monster. “Kaliyah!” Terry called her, but she ignored him, leaving the room through the terrace too. All of them gasped, following her to the terrace, thinking she jumped to her dea
“Are you cooking anything?” Ruan turned to her, a smile beaming on his lips the moment he saw her head poking oput of the door. Infront him was a bonfire, and a stick of meat he just hunted while she was asleep. “Yeah. I guessed you’ll need to replenish your energy when you wake up.” he was grinning when he answered, and his tone suggested an evilness that made her roll her eyes. “That’s because it’s you who drained me like a beast!” Ruan chuckled at her, flashing his complete set of teeth. “I think you said you like me being a beast in bed, baby. But I didn’t know you could actually stand up right now.” “Do I look like I am standing?” Kaliyah snapped at him, her sharp eyes glaring like knives. Ruan flashed her an evil grin, finding the answer now why only her head was poking out of the door. And that it was on the floor level. As he pushed the door open, he discovered a beautiful woman wrapped in his blanket and was lying on the floor. With th
The sun was already setting when a noise was heard on the forest just outside the forbidden land. Everyone of the palace guards waiting since last night were startled, becoming wary as they anticipated who it was. Even Gavin held his sword, gripping at it tightly as sweat broke on his forehead. However, among them, only Gray wasn’t alarmed. Instead, he continued his nap as he leaned on the trunk of a big tree. “Why aren’t you scared?” Gavin whispered, glancing at him. however, his attention immediate was taken away when they spotted a movement at the bushes ahead. Someone is coming. “Why will I be?” Gray answered, smelling the scent that was being flown in the wind. Why can’t they smell the delicate fragrance coming from her? anyone who would smell it will never even suspect danger in her scent. “Gray.” Kaliyah suddenly appeared from the thick bushes, that some of the guards who were so startled, swung his sword on her. However, she didn’
“Take care. And also, please make sure to do what I asked of you.” Gray nodded, saying ‘I will surely will’ through his gestures. After Kaliyah gave him a little squeeze on his nape as a way to say her thanks on him, the brown furred wolf leaped through the forest and disappeared. Now that she was at the entrance of Hafn, Kaliyah cannot help but feel thrilled with the fact of seeing Ruan again. It’s not even a day has passed since they last saw each other. Yet, she missed him greatly. She was about to head to the cabin, turning around but she was caged by a strong pair of arms snaking on her body. she caught her breath, side-glancing to look at him. But Ruan rested his chin on her shoulder. “Ruan!” she gasped, surprise of his sudden appearance. “Why are you here?” “I was waiting for you. I though you won’t ever come back again to me. I thought you’re leaving me. Kaliyah, baby… Don’t ever leave me like that again.” “What are you talking about?!”
Everyone in the palace was startled, watching their alpha walking towards the palace. And what’s more interesting to look at was how he gave a piggy back ride to a woman on his back. “Is that Kaliyah?” Terry wondered, filled with disbelief as they waited for Ruan at the entrance. “Who else could it be? If it’s not her, I will surely kill myself,” Gavin replied with a laugh, who just came the last. They were expecting Gray to be hiding again. but surprisingly, he joined the crowd and watched as Ruan make his dramatic entrance. “You’re right. The woman he’ll only hold that way with so much care was Kaliyah,” Terry agreed, smiling widely. “You’re finally back. Good to see you on your right mind now, Ruan.” “What a good way to welcome me, Terry. But I could say you’re fortunate. If I’m not in my right mind, I would have snapped you neck apart.” Ruan flashed his grin on him, intending to scare him. but Terry just shrugged t off. Instead, he looked at
After the first snow encounter where they all shared dinner in the palace, Kaliyah rarely saw Ruan since. He’s so busy with his task regarding the villages because of the struggles during winter, whereas, Kaliyah was left in her room. Sometimes, she either went to disturb Samantha’s pace. But after being kicked out by her several times, she would just sleep all day. Pregnancy really took a toll on her. most of the days, she could be so lazy to get up from bed. And on other days, she was getting so emotional at everything. And just now, she was crying because she slept without Ruan. Although in reality, Ruan again sneaked on her bed late at night when she was asleep, and went out early in the morning again. As Kaliyah sat and read books in the terrace to entertain herself, snow fell on the pages. It was snowing again. “Why is it so cold?” she mumbled, feeling her tummy with her palm. The bump had gotten bigger, but she could still hide it with her dresses.
“Did someone attack you last night? The table and the sofa in the office were all broken! Even some of the furniture’s were also destroyed.” Listening to Terry’s worried inquisition, Kaliyah glanced at Ruan. However, he was already looking at her, grinning as they shared a secret only they both know. “Yes. someone tried to break in so we had a fight. Luckily, I successfully captured and tamed it. Don’t worry.” With Ruan’s answer, Kaliyah almost spilled the hot chocolate in her mouth. Ruan’s lie was making her laugh hard! Would someone even believe him? However, looking at Terry’s expression, he seemed convinced. Gavin and Troy were listening but they were more interested in the pie that she baked, while Samantha and Gray would be the last people you’ll expect a reaction from. “Why are you blushing, baby? Did you do something naughty again?” Ruan teased Kaliyah, whispering to her. however, his whispers were enough to be heard by everyone in the dining
Gavin was guarding outside Fiona’s room, siting on the chair at the parlor as he smoked cigarettes. Among them in the pack, only he and Ruan smoked cigarette. It’s something that he learned from the alpha when they first met. As he finished his cigar, he noticed some shadows at the window. “Who are you?” he asked, putting off the fire of the cigarette in the ashtray, standing up and turned to the side where he saw the shadows. Busted, it ran and Gavin immediately followed. Thinking it was again the enemies from the Dorumn Kingdom, his blood boiled in anger. How dare they try to sneak inside? did they know Kaliyah was inside?! He chased after that man, following it at the alleys at the back of Fiona’s mansion. He was so keen in catching it when he realized something odd. This man… What if he’s just trying to lure him away from Kaliyah?! “Sh*t.” he cursed, turning around and ran back to the mansion as fast as he could. However, it was still too l
