ADELIA
‘Yesterday, I did not finish my sausages so that I could eat the leftovers for today’s breakfast. Who would have thought… that I wouldn’t be able to finish them today…’ I could not help but think as I looked at the various delicacies on the table.
‘Even though everything looks so good, I wish to wait for Lewis and brother before eating,’ I thought as I observed the delicate looking pastries.
‘But… their stares are getting hard to ignore…’ I sneaked a glance at the corner and saw at least five werewolves intently watching me with nervousness and anticipation in their eyes.
‘Why are they looking at me like that? Don’t tell me… they want me to try the food?’
‘Well… should I find out?’ I nervously gulped before reaching for the spoon. Then, I took a spoonful of the yogurt with fru
ADELIA‘Oh my goodness…’‘What was I thinking? Did I just have a… naughty thought about Lewis?’ I started to become flustered before taking the napkin that Alphonse was handing me. I had the urge to cover my whole face with it but controlled myself and merely pretended to calmly wipe the side of my mouth.‘Stay put, Adelia… although Lewis indeed marked you, he is still like your boss… you shouldn’t have any thoughts about him…’ I thought as I avoided Lewis’ eyes and pretended to eat.Lewis did not say anything more and started eating breakfast. Surprisingly, my aloof brother likewise started sipping a cup of coffee.The three of us fell into comfortable silence as if it were a rhythm that we used to have.Unfortunately, our peaceful breakfast did not last long because just a few minutes later, we heard a loud voi
LEWISLia suddenly stood up. Her formerly blushing face immediately turned pale. We were still connected through the mind link and I could hear the numerous thoughts and the various emotions that she was feeling. She was caught off-guard and was panicking. I felt a small throbbed in my chest.I stood up beside Lia before grabbing her hand, “Lia,” I called her name, but her thoughts were too preoccupied to hear me. At that moment, her emotions were overflowing and made me focus on her feelings instead of the thoughts that were running through her mind.‘How come you suddenly feel like this?’ I thought as I felt the intense anxiousness and helplessness in her heart. ‘What is it that you see for you to always feel these intense emotions?’ I closed my eyes before trying to ignore her feelings and focusing on her thoughts.‘Ahh,&
LEWIS“You have both my ears,” Halen said as he directly looked at Lia.Although he was always acting foolish, Halen could quickly judge the situation he was in. At that moment, he probably realized already that I called him here not because of myself but because Lia had something to inform him – and an urgent matter at that.Lia met Halen’s gaze and something inside me irked. Clearly, I was feeling irritated. I furrowed my brows at my extreme reaction.“Th-thank you, your highness,” Lia softly said. Even without hearing her thoughts and feeling her emotions, the tone of her voice could clearly indicate how nervous she was.I slightly narrowed my eyes.‘Foolish hierarchy is strictly being implemented in that dim-witted pack. She must be nervous about suddenly talking to this foolish prince,’ I thought to myself.‘Hmmm. Maybe I c
ADELIA“This matter is something that could affect the destiny of the whole werekind.”‘This matter… is the prince talking about the princess’ assassination? Or is he referring to my ability?’ I thought as I stared at the prince. Both answers could be correct.In my vision, the princess’ assassination was the starting point of the fall of the royalty. After her death, a problem that could ruin the entire family arose. And because of this internal struggle, they were not able to properly lead and protect the different packs from the upcoming attacks. Truly, it was not far-fetched to say that the princess’ death was the cause of the disaster of the werekind.On the other hand, my ability could be the key to evading these upcoming disasters. Thus, the prince could be referring to my ability when he talked about something that could affect the destiny of the werek
ADELIA“Way back when the werewolves started existing in this world, the moon goddess, our creator, lived in this realm,” the prince who started to talk. Hearing him talk about the story of our creation was surprising. Still, I diligently listened to every word that he stated.“Our moon goddess was unbelievably beautiful and kind. Inevitably, humans became attracted to her, and started serving her as their master. The benevolent moon goddess did not need any servant. However, she could not bear to see the sadness on the faces of the humans whenever she chased them away. Thus, she allowed them to stay beside her and serve her.”“Countless days passed, and the humans served the moon goddess with their whole heart and soul. Thus, she, who was truly kind, fell in love with them,” the prince continued. The atmosphere inside the room started turning more and more serene as he spoke.
LEWIS“After the wind god was imprisoned, the gods and goddesses left the werewolves, the servants of the moon goddess, an order. They said, their souls would hold the soul of the wind god as long as they could. However, the powers of their souls are also finite. One day, they would lose all their strength and inevitably, release the wind god from their chain.”I listened to every word that Halen was saying and could not help but feel annoyed, especially when I could see the direction where his story was going.“The words of the deities are something that the royal family could not dare to ignore. So, every century, we would be on a look out to see if there are hints of the return of the wind god. The wind god is someone that would bring disaster to the whole lower realm, so we were always guarded against him. Thankfully, the gods and goddesses left hints of the upcoming doom,” he continued,
LEWISGiven my position and the many extraordinary things I have in my life, my emotions have long been tampered. There were only a few things that could make me happy, and even fewer things that could make me excited. Above all, in the past, there was not a single thing that made me flustered.So, that I was surprised was an understatement when I felt my heart beat faster as I looked at those shy-looking and yet bright eyes that were sneaking side glances at me.‘This…’ I blinked and aimlessly looked in front of me. ‘My heart is beating faster, and I can’t seem to stay calm. Am I feeling flustered?’ I thought to myself.‘Am I feeling this way… because Lia thought I looked cool?’ I felt a warm tingling sensation on my cheeks.‘How is it like this? I was just feeling angry, but just one sentence from her, I am not feeling flustered ins
ADELIAIt has been years since I met my wolf and she told me about our power. Ever since then, I started having visions of the future that were not in the least bright.There would be overwhelming suffering, plenty of deaths, injuries and betrayals that await me and my wolf in my future. So, how could I ever stay calm?From the moment I realized this, I laid down low and I started crafting plans on how to counter what the future holds. Despite my countless effort in racking my brain to formulate plans that would help me survive, admittedly, the plans I crafted might not be the best course of action.‘It’s like playing a game,’ I thought to myself. ‘I always thought that if I had some great teammates, then the plans I crafted could be refined by them and soon my wolf and I will be able to survive everything.’‘This is also the reason why I chose to be with Lewis. Because having
