Amarantha's POVI opened my eyes after dreaming of something unbelievable.In my dreams, I saw myself staring at Iram's peaceful state. I was lying beside him, watching him sleep safely and soundly. It was a bubbly feeling during that time. I remembered myself shivering in the cold as I was still wearing the same outfit as before. A thin sheet of dress that I wore during the choosing ceremony. The one that a strange man came to give me. I didn't remember that I wore this myself but it feels like it was yesterday.Now that I remember that, I wonder where did that mysterious man go after that? He seemed to be in haste when he gave me the dress. I wonder what was it for other than to make sure I was chosen.Then, it hit me big time. The fact that I was only chosen because of this dress made me shudder in fear. If this was so, does it mean that I'm also incapable of healing Iram?I gasped at that thought. It felt like I woke up in a dream and then woke up again. This time, I saw the observ
Amarantha's POV"I need you..."Those words were very rare to people like me. It is rare to a point that I didn't even remember the first time I ever heard of that phrase.I was totally dumbfounded. This Alpha King whom I hated the most ever since this war broke out turned out to be someone who needed me. I was now considered his lifeline.No one has ever thought of me as their last straw of hope. I never once thought that I'm capable of having a life purpose. I only thought that surviving was the most important; surviving and defeating the werewolves. Then, after that, I didn't know what exactly I needed. I just wanted to get a normal life that was taken away from me. But that sense of purpose hadn't even sparked in my life. It felt like I was just striving hard to do something that I don't have a purpose for. And yet here I am being dragged into this mess that quite shook me into realizing that this was it.This was what my purpose was. To be by his side. To be his safeguard, his saf
Chapter 9: Amarantha's POV"We still have a problem, my king..." Beta Iñigo suddenly uttered after a brief silence.All of the council members looked at him, even Iram."What is it?""How do we do what the council wants? It is not something so simple, your grace. She's a human and we don't have any ways to make her into a real werewolf unless she'd turn into.""Oh, may I interrupt this conversation?" I blurted out. "You are talking about my well-being here. I get it that you hated me because I'm a human but turning me into a werewolf gravely violates my right to live. Turning me into a monster is not an option!" I clearly stated.Then, the Delta snarled at me showing his sharp teeth and glowing red eyes. His name is Redentus. By the looks of his physique, I could tell how he trained so well in physical battle. He has a broad chest and well-toned muscles. He is a bit red-skinned and has long hair. He looked younger than Iram. "You have no right to call us monsters! Your race is the real
Amarantha's POVThe expedition started. I was asked to ride a horse on my own but I quickly said no. I've never ridden a horse before. It was something that I was supposed to learn before the war began but that was quickly taken away from me.Now that they're asking me this, all of their faces grimaced. Some of them started to ride away their horses after rolling their eyes at me.I shrugged. "Sorry, I just don't know how to..." I sincerely told Iram.He sighed exasperatedly and thought for a second. After that, I saw him nod at me and offered his arm outstretched to me. "Here. I'll lift you..."I accepted his hand and he pulled me up until I was seated before him. I gasped loudly; my eyes felt like they were about to bail out of my skull. The moment I was sitting there next to him felt like I was energized. His scent drove me again into a frenzy."Hold still. I won't pick you up if you fall..." he whispered to my ear.But because of the goosebumps, I wasn't able to react fast. When he
Amarantha's POVThe evening came and Iram was still in his bed as advised by his pack doctor. But despite that, he was still open to his council members for a meeting.I had to be there since I needed to make sure that Iram's heart doesn't stop. I was a bit confident about my ability as his curse-breaker, though I knew that I was just a fake, I still believe that I have the same effect as his real curse-breaker.I saw his wounds healed in front of me when I touched his cheek. It was indeed magic!I was never a believer in magic or any kind of sorcery. But seeing what had happened earlier made me think twice.Maybe I was really a curse-breaker. Or someone who can heal others, not just him.Since Iram was injured, the council had decided to postpone the plan of finding the Rogue Witch.Gufu stood up. "My King, why don't we also postpone the announcement during the Full Moon Festival? We still have to make sure that everything is set before you face the members of the pack," he suggested.
Amarantha's POVHis eyes blazed as soon he looked at my surprised look. "How many times do I have to remind you not to defy my orders?" he asked, containing his anger, hissing his words to not alert anyone outside the door of this chamber."I-I uh...""Haven't I told you that this day and tomorrow won't be too good for humans like you? What if I wasn't able to get to you in time? What if those wolves ate you?"I blinked. I just lowered my head, ashamed of my action earlier. I had been fancy thinking about getting away and not remembering that important note from the chambermaids. 'What an idiot!'Iram exasperatedly sighed and scratched his nape to ease the tension.Silence came and reigned between us.I took that chance to look around. The whole room is filled with darkness. It somehow felt eerie and cold. That kind of atmosphere disappeared when the Alpha King walked towards the window and closed it."Why do you despise my race that much, human?" he suddenly asked. His eyes were now
Iram's POVI faced my pack members who came into the Full Moon festival. They were all seated at a table and looked at me in full respect. I greeted them all and then continued my plan for the announcement."Herein also is my great announcement to all of you..." I started. "I announce my utmost and sincerest plan on marriage." The crowd gasped and all of them clapped their hands. "I am happy to tell all of you that I already found my mate. So, in the future, I will be heralding her in front of you, but not today for she needs to settle things from her place.."The whole of Prima Tierra gave him congratulatory howls.After my announcement, the party went on and I couldn't think of anything but to go back to my secret place.I quickly exited the area and walked back to where I left her.I didn't know why I was feeling this way. I felt excited to see her. To feel her. To kiss her...I was also surprised to kiss her earlier but I didn't feel any disgust or guilt within me. I just felt ecs
Amarantha's POV"W-what?!" I asked with wide eyes.Aruna just gave me a devilish smirk and crossed her arms on her chest. "What? Do you prefer to be killed right after you help him?" She rolled her eyes at me. "Even if you don't tell me the truth, darling, I always know. Everyone knows that I know. Right from the moment you laid your eyes on mine..." she whispered to me.I didn't realize that she was already close to me. She cupped my chin and stared right into my eyes. Her pair of orbs became bright red.At that point, I thought that someone moved me. But when I examined myself, I was still there. It was just a feeling. It felt like someone nudged me a bit. It was as if my soul had been shaken.I hugged myself instantly. I heard Aruna laughing and faced Iram.Iram stood there closer to us and darted his angry eyes at the rogue witch. "If you think I would agree to this, think again! That human is mine. You can ask me anything but not her soul," he refused.I blinked at his words. Was
