Chapter 71. Reason of Everything (1)
PEONY CRIMSON'S POV"Mama always makes that face after fighting with Papa."My head jerked up. Rose's clear eyes were watching me concernedly. Her dark hair frolicked in the wind that slipped in through the car window, not bothering her at all.We were on our way to the pack’s library in the southwest. Green trees scattered on either side of the road. In the front seat, Violet watched outside enthusiastically. Meanwhile, in the seat behind me, Jasmine and Gloria were chatting away.Because of the shouting match that ended in awkwardness, Xander's decision became unassailable. He even ordered Ricki to take me straight to the library-or that was just his attempt to make sure I stayed in the pack.I forced a smile that sure looked like a horse's sneer. "Is that so?""Is there a problem?" Rose asked again, concern still thick in her voice. I stroked her hair lovingly."No." I shook my head. Taking a short pause, I continued, "Papa and Mama really don't get along. You can be sure that th

Chapter 72. Reason of Everything (2)
PEONY CRIMSON'S POV The week flew by as I decided to suck what I saw up. I didn't talk about it to anyone. I was too engulfed in disquiet to directly ask Xander or Azalea. All I did was smile as if I'd never seen anything.My focus was floating amongst the moonlight raining down on the floor when I heard the faint sound of the door swinging open. I sat up. Xander's figure came into the light of the bed lamp. His perfectly sculpted face looked worn out as his flashing crimson eyes found me."Where have you been?" I asked softly as I scooted closer to him. My hand reached out for him, but he moved to the center of the room instead."Xander?"Three lines appeared on his forehead as he unbuttoned his shirt. The shadowy silhouette on his face indicated like he was on edge, but it was quickly hidden when he glanced away.Without paying attention to me, he asked coldly, "Why are you still up? I thought you were already asleep.""I was waiting for you."I glanced at the clock. It showed two

Chapter 73. Time To Go
PEONY CRIMSON’S POVAlong with Xander's lack of attention for me, the summer had been full of secret, memorable sweet meetings with Xavier. I scheduled everything carefully, even if Xander completely ignored me, his people didn't need to know where I was sneaking off to for two hours every three times a week. Annabeth didn’t know either.Slowly the heat of the air decreased, signaling fall around the corner. After a week of my stomach feeling uncomfortable and getting tired easily, I secretly went to the infirmary, then returned to the room with tears rolling down my cheeks."Oh, Goddess...." I squeezed my stomach. Three months. It was faint, but if I listened carefully, that little heartbeat was there.I staggered, accidentally nudged the bed lamp, then sat on the edge of the bed. Still at a loss for words. I counted the dates, confirming who I was sleeping with.My memory replayed vividly the summer night where Xander somehow forgot about Azalea and we made out almost all night. I

Chapter 74. Tiny Trade
XAVIER ASHERIUS'S POV"Are you sure you don’t need me to accompany you?"Elenor's green eyes twinkled in hopefulness as I stepped into the teleportation circle with Zed and Chadwick. "This is a scheduled meeting, not a date," I responded firmly."But—"Ever since the day Peony left White Moon, I'd be lying if I didn't notice how hard Elenor tried to win my attention. She would be coy and sweet, helpful or offering things while all she had to do was protect the pack with her power. The summer was at our doorstep. The outside temperature was rising. Members were more likely to get into confrontations because tempers erupted more frequently in hotter conditions. Also the monsters lurking outside the fortress were also temperamental enough to cause problems. Adding to the endless list of summertime issues.Elenor's face wilted, sulking. She had the power of the Goddess' extraordinary blessings but it didn't match her childish behavior. It was none of my business how she would feel. "We

Chapter 75. You're Not What You Think
PEONY CRIMSON’S POV"It never fails to amaze me how far Xavier would go for you," Gloria said as she turned the next page of the ancient book in her hands. She yawned, then looked at me and propped up her chin. Boredom floated in the library lower level’s air for the last fifteen minutes. To tell you the truth, I had almost forgotten what I was looking for amongst all these musty-smelling old pages. Still I could get ahold of myself and continued to comb through each paragraph with hope in my grasp. "I know. Even after all this, he doesn't demand anything of me, just wants me to go back to him and that's exactly what I'm going to do." I decided to take a break from reading by resting my head on the table."I'm sure Rose, Jasmine and Violet like Xavier more than their real papa."Since I witnessed their interactions and the vibe that existed between them. Compared to how my triplets behaved around Xander, that was a big difference. They knew Xander was their biological father, but

Chapter 76. I Want That
PEONY CRIMSON'S POV"I don't know what you're talking about." I denied with a half-hearted grin, "You know that is impossible. I mean, Violet is a werewolf, there’s no way for her to use magic."Arms crossed over her chest, Azalea smiled. She looked at me, as if she could read the lies smeared on my face, and cocked her head. To add to the countless list of things I didn't like about her, there were moments when I detested how perceptive her green eyes were when talking to me."Really? After you saw that with your own eyes? Didn't know you were THAT ignorant." Her tone was cold as ice. Emily's growl rumbled in my chest, resonating up to my throat."Watch your mouth!" I barked, refusing to give her a real answer. "Maybe there's another explanation you can come up with."She shook her head. "I don't, except she can wield magic. We should talk about this as well as I need to examine her more."I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, laughing blandly. Never once did I think that she car

Chapter 77. Midnight Talk
PEONY CRIMSON’S POVI closed the book in a muffled 'bam!' sound, then placed it on the table. Though I almost called it off, I forced myself to go back to the library as soon as Rose, Jasmine and Violet recovered."It's as if someone kidnapped Violet's true self and replaced it with her current one. She's so different. What should I do?" I asked Gloria.The spine of the book she was reading stood facing me. Her face was concealed from sight. I massaged the bridge of my nose. I thought back to this morning when Violet reiterated that she wouldn't back out of the magic class Azalea had promised. Despite her persistence, she was still my daughter.I scratched my hair."It's not a good idea to do too many experiments on her, right? I'm sure it's because of how I feel. What other option do I have?"The surroundings fell into silence. At this level, silence was a friend. I frowned. I'd been babbling for the past half hour but hadn't heard Gloria's response at all."Do you hear me?" I ran

Chapter 78. Communication Issue
PEONY CRIMSON'S POV "Please tell Xander I appreciate all of this," I said, curving a smile at Annabeth.Xander kept his promise, so this morning Annabeth came to the cottage with three bottles of golden-circled wine and two jars of lemon cookies for me. Well, considering he took the wine for no reason last night, it was only fitting that he did this. "Is everything okay?" asked Annabeth, her tone sprinkled with worry. "Why not?" I asked back."I don't know... Between you and the Alpha..." She held back her next words hesitantly.I laughed blandly. Recalled last night's conversation between me and him and how all of a sudden we didn't at each other's throat. I realized that we successfully had a civil talk even for a brief moment. "Oh, no, we're good, I guess. No need to think about it," I assured Annabeth. I wasn't her Luna anymore, so it wasn't her job to worry about me. Though I really appreciated her concern. "Fine, then."After Annabeth returned to the Packhouse, I found Glor

Chapter 79. Steal
PEONY CRIMSON'S POV "So, you went on a date? How was that?"I was leaning on the edge of the counter when Gloria got into the kitchen at noon, just waking up. My daughters had gone to the Tower, so it was just both of us at the cottage. A perfect timing to brought up this topic.I noticed the color pink blossoming on her cheeks for the first time. She gave a bashful, adolescent-girl smile while twirling her hair. I blinked, fearing I could have seen something else. "Well, it was alright. No, it was wonderful! He took me around the villages, the bars, and certainly we ended up on his bed. He knew what he was doing. So... I'm satisfied." Her eyes lit up, sparkling with joy. I squeezed my arm, feeling a little bad about opposing her choice. For as long as I've known her, I'd never judged who and what kind of man she brought into her bed. Gloria and her free spirit could not be controlled except by her own will. But this time, I really had to stop her."Sounds like he's a nice guy. Do

Chapter 80. Last Chance to Change
PEONY CRIMSON'S POVGloria remained absent for the entire day. When I went to the Tower, I couldn't find her anywhere. Azalea claimed to be uninformed about Killian's plan, but just as you'd expect from her, she ended up siding with her motherfucker of a brother.With everything going on, I ended up in the garden next to the cottage at midnight. I sat alone on a long wooden chair facing the fountain. It was pitch black all around me, with only a small lantern I found in the shed to light up the surroundings. The sound of the water gurgling like a classical melody comforted me. That didn't really work so I brought a bottle of wine with me.Oh, Goddess, I wasn’t acting like myself."I wonder who lit the lantern here, it was you."I jumped and almost pulled out my claws in shock. Xander was standing close by me before I even realized it—and I didn't hear a footstep. My nose sniffed the air. At that time his scent was overpowering."Why did you come? And why aren't you in the packhouse?"
