"I also want to see-" Then I remembered the video call just now. "Oh ... Sorry, it seems my cellphone camera was broken after accidentally hitting it last night," I lied.I bit my lip with a bit of anxiety because Alex was silent for a long time. We grew up together, so sometimes he can tell when I'm lying."Can I see you in person?" he asked suddenly.I slumped on the edge of the bed. "What do you mean?" Then a ridiculous thought crossed my head. "Alex ... don't tell me you were still in Yellowstone territory from earlier.""Today is still my day off, don't you remember?"I closed my eyes tightly, today we should still spend time together. "Alex ... ""I'm still in the forest near Balthazar castle, I just wanted to catch a glimpse of you. You just need to come out onto the balcony so we don't have to meet in person.I bit my lip harder to hold back my longing for him. "I can't." I stopped for a moment to swallow my sad feelings. "As Balthazar said I still need two weeks-""Five days,

Balthazar took me to the small garden beside the castle because this is where it gets the most shade during the day. I remember this place ... because Alex kissed me here once at a Full Moon Night party. That night this place is very dark because of the lack of lights, but during the day this garden looks even more beautiful.The sound of a gurgling fountain could be heard faintly, Balthazar told me to sit on one of the benches while He himself stood next to the fountain. He just stared at me for a few moments until I frowned."What?" I asked."Don't you feel it?" he asked with a faint smile."Feel what?" I asked back. Only then did I realize I couldn't get up from my stool. It felt like my body was like a magnet stuck tightly to the bench. I looked up at Balthazar then pulled the corners of my mouth down. "Couldn't you have warned me before doing it?" I protested angrily.'Caroline, this is nothing compared to yesterday" she replied, grinning slightly. He took his place on another st

The matter about the black wolf appearing in Balthazar castle territory finally reached Alpha Sam's ears. I didn't meet him in person because Balthazar hasn't let me. Even though Alpha Sam already knew and didn't mind my identity, we didn't want to take any chances.So far I've managed to contain my emotions very well. But Balthazar still wasn't satisfied with my progress. For the past three days I've been cleaning up all the leaves that fell from my power explosion. All that remains are fallen tree trunks and dried mud on the edge of the lake. I also started practicing breaking free from the light noose ofBalthazar's power. Although long and tiring, but I'm starting to be able to fight the shackles of his strength.The most serious problem right now is my face. I still look like a twenty-eight year old woman. When I asked Balthazar for his opinion, he just looked at me with scornful eyes.This time we practiced in the library. I sat on the sofa, while my body was covered, as if stic

"No" he replied. His voice now sounded amazed. "You look very ... different," then he cleared his throat because his voice was a bit hoarse. Alex hurriedly turned his attention to the bag he had just dropped and picked it up."I brought you ... " Alex didn't finish his sentence, but handed the bag to me.Ah, my underwear. Finally I don't have to wash every night. "Thanks," I replied, still awkward. I stared at my shoes for a few moments. I don't know what made the atmosphere between us so different. Could it be because we were separated for five days?No, it must be because of my new face.When I looked up to look at Alex again, he was still looking at me with those soft brown eyes. His warm gaze made me feel uncomfortable myself. I still can't believe we could turn this awkward in just five days."Like- How are you?" I asked with difficulty. Even though we just called each other this morning."Fine," he replied with a grunt. "Very good." His intense gaze made my cheeks feel hot. I cl

We walked through the passage on the third floor. Alex's face still looks dark but he's been holding my hand since we left the library. "He became even more annoying after returning to his original form, muttered Alex curtly.I smiled when I heard it. At first I thought so too, but now that I think about it,Balthazar had been arrogant from the start. His attitude hasn't changed at all. It's just that we don't find him too annoying when he's still in his teenage body, in fact sometimes I feel he's cute when he's being arrogant. But now that his body had returned to its original state, that arrogant demeanor had gone from cute to annoying. "Do you want to chat outside?"Alex'squestion broke my mind. For a few moments I thought as I walked down the stairs with him. "Are you coming to my room?" I offered when we reached the second floor.Alex looked a little surprised but gave a curt nod without the slightest hesitation. I smiled back at him then pulled his hand that was holding mine, he
