"Dad, I'm fine. Thank you. Now go home and get some rest." I looked at my father with some concern.It was not safe to heal people with alpha power, as it took a lot of energy and the success of trying was always uncertain. Few alphas would be willing to use it unless it was an extreme emergency or somebody very dear to them, a loved one.Letting out a shaky sigh, my father shook his head and held my hand. "I'm fine. I'm just worried about you. I heard from Hank that you've become very close to Edmond lately. Is he the reason you got hurt?"I kept silent, not denying it. Edmond was the reason I got into a fight with Irene, so it was indeed right to blame him.It was only a matter of time before my father found out about my relationship with Edmond, so I wasn't surprised when he asked, but I wondered why he thought to bring it up at that time."My silly daughter, can't you see that you have been fooled by him!" My father said painfully and looked at me sadly."No I haven't!" I shouted.
I was bothered by everything my father revealed. I couldn't get the images from that video out of my mind. I needed to find a way to prove whether or not it was all true, but how?It seemed like it was all but impossible to get help through the Stone Forest Pack, and I had no other alternatives. I couldn't just rush up and say, "Edmond, my father said that you lied to me and used me. Is that true?"Oh, Goddess, how silly! If I tried that, he would definitely think I was crazy. I laughed a little at myself just thinking about it and finally began to feel a little better.I heard a knock on the door and was startled. It was late so who could it be at this time? I sat up and called out, "Please come in."Edmond walked casually through the door with a fruit basket. I looked at the fruit basket in his hand in surprise and couldn't believe my eyes. "Is that for me?"He seemed to be confused by the question, but he quickly smirked and placed the fruit basket on the cabinet beside the bed
There was no sound outside for a long time. I moved my body slowly, trying to push the door open slightly, looking through a gap to see what was happening outside.Suddenly, a bright light shone dazzlingly in front of my face and blinded my eyes, and soon darkness overwhelmed me. I saw a huge wolf head approaching with its mouth wide open, baring its teeth."Ah!"I screamed and squeezed my eyes tight. I waved my hands in front of me, but a hand grabbed my wrist. Then, I was dragged out of the wardrobe forcefully.I fell to the ground awkwardly. The grip on my wrist loosened, and I felt a pain my wrist. I brought it to my eyes and saw that it was already bruised."Liana? What are you doing? Why are you following me?"Edmond's puzzled voice called. Anguish and rage took over me all of a sudden. I raised my head and glared at him angrily. "You lied to me!""Lied to you? What are you talking about? Silly woman, can you please start making sense?" He frowned at me impatiently.
I returned to the bed. I tossed and turned but couldn't get back to sleep. I sat up cross-legged and looked at my phone glowing weakly next to me. I couldn't help my eyes drifting towards the window.Edmond was standing in that direction. It was raining heavily outside, he should have already left by now.I was a little annoyed to find that I still cared about him, and by the fact that I was worried that he would get soaked from the rain.Don't be silly, Liana. Don't you know that he lied to you? He was trying to use you, and there's a good chance he's a murderer!I scolded myself inwardly, trying to push away my worries about him. Then, I sadly realized that this was useless. It only made me feel even more upset."Ah!"I took a pillow and slammed it in my lap to vent my frustration. I punched it randomly, over and over until I began to feel better.Knock! Knock! Knock!When I heard the knocking on the door, I forced myself to sit up straight and replied, "Come in."Nico opene
The cold raindrops soaked to my skin as they landed on me. My clothes were quickly drenched, but I didn't care anymore. A sigh came from behind me. Then, I was wrapped in someone's arms. The familiar scent made me raise my head in surprise. "Edmond!" Edmond buried his head in my neck. He seemed to be burning up with a fever. The temperature of his face was very hot. I shivered slightly in worry. "Edmond, come on. Let's talk inside." I tried to stand up, but he was hugging me so tightly that I couldn't move at all. I could only gently press my elbow against his chest, indicating that he should let go first. He seemed to think for a moment before lifting me up into his arms. After I stabilized myself, he grabbed my shoulder and turned me to face him. Before I could react, he pulled me back into his arms again. "No... Don't go. I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so rough with you. I thought... I thought you were really going to leave me. You seemed so resolute. I was really w
"Edmond?" Nico sounded a little surprised. Then, she seemed to realize what was going on. "Oh, it's nothing. I'm just telling you that I'm going out on a date with my boyfriend. You guys can do whatever you want. There's breakfast in the fridge. You guys can eat it if you're hungry. I'll be heading out now." After saying that, she didn't seem to want a response. I heard the sound of her footsteps getting further and further away.Edmond did not reply to her. Instead, he leaned close to my ear and asked me with a smile, "Do you think she heard you?"I finally couldn't take it anymore. I opened my mouth and bit down on his shoulder, not holding back at all. I heard him groan in pain, and my heart softened for a moment. I didn't know what came over me as I licked the bite mark."You're really an attractive little demon, aren't you?" I felt his body tense up for a moment. Then, he suddenly pulled out the fingers in my body. Before I could react, he lifted his c*ck and pushed it into m
"I remember now! He's from our pack" I declared as the memory finally came back to me. I pointed at the leather shoes. "Those belong to one of my father's bodyguards. He only works for my father."I bit my lower lip. Although I didn't want to believe that my father had anything to do with this, I couldn't risk hiding anything because this was a life-and-death situation."He was affiliated with a gang of criminals who were going to be executed, but my father said that he wanted to give them another chance because they were young. These people became my father's men. In order to express their loyalty, these people cut off their own thumbs as a pledge of allegiance. Look here, the thumb of this man is missing."I hung my head in shame, shocked at the fact that the people who captured my best friend's boyfriend were actually my father's men."I'm sorry... Nico... I..." I wanted to give her a reasonable explanation or more assurances, but I couldn't. There was nothing I could say to mak
Although we were living together again, it felt like we had grown more indifferent to each other.Once again, I took Edmond's passion for granted. I could feel his confusion, but I simply couldn't force myself to be loving towards him.He didn't belong to me. He loved another woman I'd never met. I pressed my back against the door and pretended not to hear his knock.Edmond seemed to give up. He said something and then went out the door.I looked up helplessly. I longed for his scent and his gentleness, but every time I was close to him, my rationality kept telling me that the two of us were just in a contractual relationship and that I had been loving someone who didn't love me. It also told me that I was the third wheel, the kind of person I used to hate the most.As I thought about this, a strong feeling of guilt and nausea instantly overwhelmed me. I couldn't help but hold my chest and retch. The corners of my eyes were constantly wet with tears.In a daze, I moved back to th
