We found a good place to sit. Many benched scattered along the entire length of the lake. It's like a park in the middle of the forest. On the branches the trees are hanging yellow lights to give good light to the whole area. "It's beautiful!" exclaimed Kristine who was next to me. She was looking at the water in front of us. I laughed and also looked at the lake. It's wide and there's a big bridge connecting both parts of it. It's crowded on the bridge because almost all the people are there. "Look! It's Nemo!" Kristine exclaimed while pointing to the fish that jumped into the air. Leon was by my side and just quiet. I've noticed that his aura is different since we arrived here. I thought that we came here to enjoy, but what I see in him now is the opposite of what I expected. He was queite and motionless as he stared blankly at the flashing water. His two companions also had sad faces looking at him as if they knew what was on Leon's mind. I gasped for air. What's wrong with the
While my body was flying in the air, I saw them change into their wolf. I clenched my fist and gritted my teeth as my tears fell non stop. How heartless. When my body hit the tree hard, I almost suffocated. I fell to the ground and felt like my heart stopped beating. I can't even feel my body anymore. "Lauren! Lauren!!"I saw how Leon's eyes widen upon seeing me. He knelt down. His hands are confused and don't know how to hold me. Leon grabbed me and gently placed me in his arms. He wiped the blood that came out of my nose. "Hey, stay with me. Stay with me," he said in a trembling voice. He patted my cheek gently. "Lauren please, don't close your eyes," he said in a broken voice. Some people approached us. "Leon." "Go and chase that bastard of Maximo! Bring him to me alive and I will fvcking beat him to death!" said Leon in an angry voice. His face is also dark and his eyes are fierce."I've already sent someone to find them. Bring her first to the doctor, Leon, she's in a bad sha
Everything is messed up. As we got closer to the entrance, the crowd gets heavier. "Move! Quick!" Uncle Isac shouted with hurried movements. Uncle quickly squeezed into the crowd. Some people who are not Da Silva have also come in. "I told you to step aside!" George shouted angrily. When the group of people finally broke up, I was stunned at the view in front of me. Leon on his wolf form is covered with his own blood. He is full of wounds and his breathing is low and unstable. He fell to the ground and completely lost consciousness. "Leon.." Everyone were mortified to see his terrible state. "My son!" uncle shouted and didn't know what to do while looking at his son. I approached uncle and calmed him down. There are some who treat Leon's wounds but they have difficulty because of his thick fur. Leon can't transform to his human form if he is deeply wounded and if he loses consciousness. He's the only wolf I know like this and no one knows why. I looked around to look for aunt Di
My peaceful sleep was disturbed when I heard voices outside. What's happening? It's still early. What are they fussing about outside? I got up and approached the door to the living room. I stopped for a while because my head hurt and I felt a little dizzy. I was about to open the door but I stopped because I heard a scream. "The Alpha! The Alpha is here! The Alpha is home!" I looked at the closed door. so he's here. I tightened my grip on the doorknob then looked at the wall clock hanging on the wall. It says there that the time is already 9 am. I shook my head and sat down on the sofa. I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling. I stayed up late last night. Lauren's treatment lasted until the night and I'm just at aunt divina's house waiting. She told me that that was so far the hardest treatment that she had done, especially that Lauren is a human, her body is delicate and fragile so she needs to operate her with too much gentleness and care. I would have liked for Lauren to he
The servants immediately bowed down when I entered the palace door. "Sir Jacob.""Good day Sir Jacob." I nodded to them one by one to respond to their warm greetings. I walked quietly on the marble floor here in the palace. I looked around, it's still the same as before and not a single one has changed. Dark and cold, those are the two things that are immediately noticed when anyone enters the palace. Cold and dark, the two qualities that my brother has. I took a deep breath when I was in front of the giant door. I barely adjusted my clothes then knocked three times. When I didn't hear a response from the other side of the door, I grabbed the doorknob and went inside. I was greeted by a cold wind. If it's cold outside, it's even colder inside my brother's office. I looked around the room to look for him. I looked at the man who had his back on me and was holding a glass of wine. "Dean," I called to my brother who was standing at the glass window and looking at the town below. I go
I closed my eyes as she started massaging my entire back. Her hands are light, every stroke is gentle but firm and the feeling is good. I also felt sleepy so I spoke so that I wouldn't fall asleep completely."Uhm. Ehere is Jacob?" I asked because she said earlier that she would call him. Knowing Jacob, he will rush here like he always does. I didn't hear any answer from aunt Divina. I would have repeated the question because she might not have heard me when she suddenly spoke. "He is doing fine," she answered as if she was out of her mind. "Doing fine?" I asked with a frown. My question was different from her answer. "Y-yeah. I mean.. Yes. He is doing fine patrolling in the borders with Sebastian," she said promptly. tThere's something off with her voice. Even though I couldn't see her face, I could tell she was a little nervous when she answered. Is there a problem? Did something happen to Jacob that she doesn't want to tell me? I pushed that thought out of my mind. "How many d
Sebastian looked away from me when our eyes met. He closed his eyes and looked away. Sebastian is acting weird too. He used to smile and always laugh but now he is quiet and impassive. Jacob's arms on me become tighter but still careful for not hurting me. My hands caressing his back went to his hair and gently caressed it. "Is there a problem?" I asked softly. He didn't speak so I just let him think and calm down. After a while, he let go of me and stared at my face. "Is there a problem?" I asked again because I was worried and wondering about his actions now. That's when I noticed some scars on his face. I frowned and involuntarily raised my hand to caress his scars. "What happened to your face? Where did you get them?" I asked while examining his wounds. They have subsided but some are still noticeable. Jacob grabbed my hand and stopped me from what I was doing. My eyes were fixed on his hand. I inhaled deeply. If there are many scars on his face, there are more on his hand. H
I kept on cursing in my head because of what happened. My heart was also beating fast and I could feel my cheeks getting hot. The image of the man who came here earlier came to my mind. His cold and handsome face is unforgettable. When I remembered his silly grin, I was annoyed. Damn that man. He just kissed me suddenly, without warning and without my consent. He's a total stranger and he dared to do that bold move. What I hate even more is that I liked his kiss! I mentally face palmed. I almost jumped in shock when I heard the soft honking of the car. That's jacob's wrangler. Next I heard a knock on the door and then my name was called. "Lauren," he said. "J-just a moment!" I shouted so he could hear me. I quickly arranged the food on the table and ran to the door to the living room. "Your face is so red. What happened to you?" Jacob asked when I opened the door. "N-nothing. I'm just a little hot," I answered and looked away slightly. "Oh." He looked at my face and frowned. "
