SPECIAL EPISODE 11The sun stood mercilessly high in the sky, blazing with an intensity. Its scorching rays poured relentlessly over the cottage house, bathing its walls and rooftop in a harsh, golden glare. The air shimmered faintly above the ground, distorted by the oppressive heat rising from the earth.Outside the cottage, Villion’s men had formed a guarded perimeter.They stood alert, encircling the house with disciplined precision. Their expressions were stern, their senses sharpened, prepared for any possible threat.Beads of sweat streamed down their temples and along the curves of their jaws, darkening the collars of their shirts. The perspiration gathered heavily on their brows before trailing down their faces.Technically, they should not have been sweating so profusely. A strong wind lashed against them in persistent gusts, whipping through the trees and sending leaves scattering across the ground. The breeze tugged at their clothing and rustled the tall grasses surround

SPECIAL EPISODE 10THIRD PERSON'S POINT OF VIEW Beneath a clear and boundless sky, where the sun’s radiant beams poured down in brilliant streams of gold, the vast snowy field shimmered like a sea of diamonds. Each delicate flake of snow reflected the daylight, casting a soft glow across the wide expanse. Spread across the open field, forming a respectful distance, stood the loyal subordinates of Alpha Villion. Their figures contrasted against the endless white landscape, their dark attire stark against the purity of the snow. They were positioned strategically, encircling the area with vigilance, yet none of them appeared tense or alarmed.8nstead, their attention was drawn toward a single point in the middle of the clearing.At the center stood Alpha Villion himself.The sharp intensity that usually defined his presence was softened, replaced by an expression rarely witnessed by others. Beside him was the woman who held his heart... Lila, his beloved wife.Lila seemed almost lumin

SPECIAL EPISODE 9After what felt like a long, deep rest, I slowly surfaced from the darkness of sleep.At first, I was only aware of warmth.Then came the gentle sensation of someone lightly shaking my shoulder.“Lila…” a familiar voice called softly, close to my ear.My lashes fluttered before I fully opened my eyes. I lifted myself carefully from where I had been lying across him, pushing myself upright. My body felt pleasantly heavy from sleep, my limbs slow and relaxed. I blinked several times, trying to clear the lingering haze from my vision.The carriage was no longer moving..“Lila, I’m going to cover your eyes.”I felt the soft brush of fabric against my face, securing it carefully at the back of my head. Suddenly, my body lifted.One arm slid beneath my knees while the other supported my back. In one smooth motion, Villion carried me into his arms.The cool air brushed against my cheeks the moment the carriage door opened.We were stepping down.I could hear distant movem

SPECIAL EPISODE 8LILA'S POINT OF VIEW After a full week of faithfully taking the medicine Villion had given me, I could finally say that it was working.I still felt waves of nausea curling in my stomach from time to time, but they were no longer as violent or overwhelming as before. The sickness didn’t seize my entire body anymore. It didn’t leave me trembling and weak for hours. More importantly, I could finally eat.I could eat until I felt satisfied.When Villion learned about my improvement, He looked genuinely overjoyed.Now, a week later, we were gathered outside the house we had been staying in within the Grook Pack’s territory. Villion stood a few steps away from me, facing Wade, Krill, and Earl. “Did you forget anything?” he asked them. “Is everything already loaded into the carriage?”The carriage waited nearby, packed with our belongings.“My checklist is complete, Alpha Villion,” Wade answered confidently.He was carrying Wolfie in his arms.My dog was wrapped snugly

SPECIAL EPISODE 7ALPHA VILLION'S POINT OF VIEWAfter more than five grueling hours of waiting, the healer finally handed the medicine to us.By then, the air inside her cliffside dwelling had grown heavy with the scent of crushed herbs and damp earth. I stepped forward and accepted it carefully.True to our agreement, I paid him five gold bars. Without further negotiation, he asked for the map I carried, the detailed one marking the entirety of the human region. I unrolled it across her wooden table. He marked several locations, territories where hybrids were most commonly found. When everything was settled, we left the cliff soon after. The path down was steep and treacherous, carved along the jagged side of the mountain. Loose stones shifted beneath our boots, tumbling into the abyss below. The wind howled against the rock face.Below the mountain, our horses waited patiently.I secured the large bottle carefully inside my satchel, ensuring it would not shatter during the ride.

SPECIAL EPISODE 6ALPHA VILLION'S POINT OF VIEW We are almost finished with the cottage that we have been building near the boundary. Just a little more work, and it will finally be complete. Every time I look at it standing there, I feel a sense of fulfillment. The structure is nearly perfect now. The walls are fully built, the roof firmly secured, and the windows properly fitted. We have already purchased a variety of furniture and essential items for both the interior and exterior of the house. Nothing was bought randomly or without thought. Each piece was carefully chosen to match the vision I had in mind. The sofas, dining table, bed frame, cabinets, curtains, outdoor benches, and even the smallest decorative details were all of them were acquired from the human region. I made sure of that.I didn’t go personally to select the items, but I sent my trusted men instead. Before they left, I handed them a detailed list specifying exactly what to buy, what kind of wood, fabric, col

CHAPTER 45And all of this, comes from that night in the suite.The night she was drunk, just enough to leave me with those fucking unforgettable memories. Memories that haunt me, that make my body ache to be near hers again, to feel her skin against mine, to breathe in the scent of her hair.It’s maddening. I shouldn’t want her like this. I shouldn’t let those memories control me, let them make me restless every time she’s around. But I can’t help it. Even though Mom had brought a girl along, I could tell right away that Katrina had no intention of competing. She wants to avoid me, to escape so she won’t have to deal with me.I can use Queen to awaken something in Katrina’s heart, something that should make her take action that should push her to fight for her place at my side, to be the one I bring to the altar.I don’t mind if she becomes my wife. But, as my father always said, she has to earn it. And from the way things look, Katrina doesn’t give a damn about that. She doesn’t

CHAPTER 44PIERRE CARIOShe’s tougher than I thought.At first glance, she looks like an ordinary woman but she has this way of responding that sometimes startles me. She doesn’t just talk back, she knows exactly what to say and when to say it.I’ll admit, the woman my mom introduced to me was more than acceptable by my standards. But Katrina, she’s different. We’ve been spending several days together now, and not once have I sensed that she’s been affected by me.That’s strange. Usually, women don’t take long to fall under my charm.A few words, a few glances, and they start to soften. But her? She doesn’t even blush. It’s as if she’s immune to me, like she sees right through everything I am and remains completely unfazed.Maybe she just has terrible taste in men. She hasn’t met anyone who surpasses me, and yet she treats me like I’m no one special, just another man she happens to deal with. I can’t help but imagine what it must have been like when my friend Ferruccio first met h

EPISODE 43KATRINAHe chuckled softly, shaking his head. “You should be the first one to fall between the two of us,” he said smoothly, his arrogance practically filling the surroundings. “I want you to beg. When you’ve fallen for me, that’s when I’ll love you back.”My jaw dropped slightly.Wow. Just wow. How full of himself could he be? The audacity was unbelievable.Could that even be possible? Clearly, he’s never really been in love before. He talks as if falling in love were that easy, as if emotions could just be switched on and off at will.“Oh, so you mean I’m supposed to make the first move?” I asked, raising an eyebrow at him.Pierre leaned back, completely unfazed, that confident smile still playing on his lips. “Like every woman I dated before,” he said smoothly.“They were always the ones who made the first move, not me. They went crazy for me, and honestly, I want the woman I’ll marry to go crazy over me too. Just like my friend... Ferruccio. His girl made the first mo

CHAPTER 42KATRINA I followed him with my eyes as he moved toward me, until he finally sat down right across from me.“You’re really kind for doing this,” I said, my voice laced with a hint of sarcasm that I didn’t bother to hide.I picked up my fork and stabbed it into the slice of cake in front of me, cutting off a piece that was probably larger than what was polite. Without hesitation, I brought it to my mouth and took a bite, chewing slowly, letting the sweetness linger on my tongue.“But you’re too ungrateful to even appreciate it,” he murmured under his breath but just loud enough for me to hear.I looked up at him, raising an eyebrow. “So now I’m the one who has to force a thank-you out of you?” He leaned back slightly. “Little by little, you’re really starting to show who you truly are."“Instead of just pissing me off, why don’t you eat something yourself?" I said.“I don’t like sweets,” he replied curtly.I frowned. "Then why are you irritated that I didn’t insist you eat w

CHAPTER 41KATRINA“To the garden,” he said seriously.His grip on my wrist was so tight that it was impossible to break free.I sighed, realizing there was no use in resisting. So I let him drag me along. We exited the mansion and made our way toward the garden. But he didn’t stop at the neatly trimmed paths or the open areas. Instead, he led me deeper, into the wilder part of the garden, where tall flowers and thick shrubs grew in abundance. The plants were so dense that once you were inside, no one could really see you.“What are we doing here—”My voice trailed off as our footsteps began to slow. We had wandered into a hidden corner of the garden, and I couldn’t help but stop when I saw what was in front of us.There was a small round table set up in the middle of the path, surrounded by a few chairs that looked as if they’d been carefully arranged for gathering. But what drew my attention most was what lay on top of the table. A cake, or at least what looked like one, was beaut

CHAPTER 40KATRINA I decided to just leave that floor so I went back to the elevator, pressing the button that would take me to the floor I’d come from earlier.As soon as the elevator doors slid open with a soft chime, my eyes were immediately drawn to the doorway across the hall.“Where have you been?”Pierre’s voice came from the entrance of his room.I blinked, forcing myself to look composed. “Nowhere,” I said lightly, stepping out of the elevator. “I just got something from the kitchen.”Without waiting for him to respond, I started down the hallway, heading toward Queen’s room, and for a brief second, I could feel his gaze following me.“What are you doing?” he asked again, his tone now edged with confusion.I stopped walking. Slowly, I turned my head to glance back at him, giving him a neutral look.“I was told by Queen to clean her room,” I said calmly.Pierre’s brows immediately drew together, forming a deep crease on his forehead. “Who’s that?”I exhaled sharply, frustratio
