last update Last Updated: 2025-06-18 10:32:30

For the remainder of their journey, lighthearted banter about trivial matters gradually settled over the three travelers, accompanied only by the rhythmic creak of the cart’s wooden wheels against the steadily improving road and the gentle snorts of the horse.

The topic of Erico and Zela was now scrupulously avoided.

An unspoken, almost palpable agreement hung in the air between Lilias and the two young men. They had clearly sensed the woman’s deep sensitivity to the matter, her protective instincts bristling when her friend's unconventional demeanor was questioned.

These two sons of the village were not accustomed to masking their true opinions with fabricated stories or polite half-truths. Such deception went against their straightforward, honest natures, ingrained as they were in the simple, transparent ways of village life where everyone knew everyone else's business, for better or worse.

After endless dusty roads and winding paths, the cart finally rolled onto solid cobblestones,

    “You’d better open your eyes quickly, witch. Charming as this is, I do have way more better things to do.”A harsh voice slowly dragged Lilias from her dizzy, disoriented state. With effort, she opened her eyes. At first, everything was a blur, shadows and dim light. Slowly, her vision cleared, and she saw her surroundings for what they were.She looked around, assessing her environment.She found herself in a confined, a room without windows, its walls made of rough, cold stone. The air, though surprisingly fresh, circulated through a small ventilation shaft in the high ceiling, hinting at a hidden location, far beneath the surface. A single, bare bulb hung from above, casting a harsh, unflattering glow on the damp surfaces.As her gaze landed on the towering figure standing at a distance before her, her eyes flew wide open, her lips parting in a gasp of utter disbelief and shock. This was the absolute last person she had expected to see here, the one she had firmly placed, in her mi

  • Breeder or Mate: The Crimson Threshold   Chapter 109 – In the Woods

    “Is everything on the cart already?”Rudi’s voice rang out, remarkably cheerful, the following morning. The sun had just begun to peek over the horizon, casting long, golden shadows as they prepared for their departure to Greywood.Whatever thoughts had plagued him during his late-night stroll seemed to have vanished with the dawn. He and Stan had already helped Auntie Glenny load her large suitcase and travel bag onto the sturdy cart, a process accompanied by a surprising lack of grumbling from either man.“Yes, everything I need is on there,” Auntie Glenny sighed, a sound of contentment mixed with a touch of relief. “It’s mostly thick clothing and a few valuable items I absolutely had to bring.”Her eyes now sparkled with an almost childlike excitement for the unknown journey ahead.Rudi had indeed returned late from his night walk, but the darkness of his previous evening’s reflections seemed to have evaporated. He got out of bed refreshed, appearing at the breakfast table with a w

  • Breeder or Mate: The Crimson Threshold   Chapter 108 – Lingering Shadow

    Lilias’s words hung heavy in the air, as if fate itself had spoken. The path ahead felt certain now, clear and steady. The air around them seemed to shimmer with the unspoken power of her declaration that settled deep in the twilight.Auntie Glenny nervously hesitated again as she cleared her throat.“I actually wanted to go with you, you know, to live in the coven,” she confessed, her voice dropping to a near whisper.For years, she had sought connection within the Order, a false family. The thought of a true community, a coven of witches, had been a surprising, sudden hope.“But now you’re saying you’re going to live with the werewolves.” Her shoulders slumped almost imperceptibly. “There’s no place for a human there, isn’t it? I would be completely out of place, utterly misplaced.”A quiet sadness crept into her tone, colored by a disappointment she couldn’t quite mask as if a bright, shining door had just closed in her face. The dreams of sisterhood and a secure future, briefly ig

  • Breeder or Mate: The Crimson Threshold   Chapter 107 – A New Path Emerges

    An unusual atmosphere settled over Auntie Glenny’s house.The earlier tension from the confrontation with Rudi was still there, a quiet vibration woven into the night air.Rudi himself remained deep in thought, slumped on the worn armchair, his gaze distant and troubled. He stared blankly at the opposite wall, yet saw nothing, his mind replaying Lilias’s harsh, yet undeniably truthful, accusations. Her stark declaration had shattered his convenient self-deception, showing him how deeply involved he truly was. A knot of unease tightened in his stomach as he considered what her words meant, the chilling thought that he had unknowingly pushed innocent people toward something truly evil. He now had to decide if he was willing to change his life and to trade higher income for simpler needs and fewer expenses.Stan, always observant, seemed to withdraw into his own world. He sat hunched on the sofa, playing a game on his phone, the soft clicks of the buttons the only sound from his spot. Wh

  • Breeder or Mate: The Crimson Threshold   Chapter 106 – The Devil's Bargain

    “Perhaps there will be an additional reward for you, Luci, if you succeed this time.”The master’s last words, seemed to echo in the chilled, damp air of the bunker. Luci, the demon, considered the options presented by this sudden, tantalizing suggestion. He weighed the inherent risks against the immense, almost unimaginable potential for personal gain.A cold, calculating logic churned within his mind, pushing aside the lingering sting of his recent failure. As this new setup, this desperate last resort, began to coalesce into something that seemed truly feasible, a wide, predatory grin, slowly spread across his face. His mind, once consumed by the frustration of a botched plan, was now entirely fixated on the vivid promise of the reward his master had dangled before him, the intoxicating, almost overwhelming taste of impending power.“Perfect!” Luci hissed, a sound of pure, unadulterated satisfaction, like air escaping a punctured tire. He rubbed his hands together, his rough skin r

  • Breeder or Mate: The Crimson Threshold   Chapter 105 – The Master’s Wrath

    In a hidden bunker deep beneath the imposing building of the Order, the air was thick with frustrated rage. The walls, damp with the clammy breath of underground stone, seemed to vibrate with the sheer force of Luci’s fury.“Damn it all!” Luci roared, his voice echoing off the concrete.He slammed his fist hard against the cold wall, a sound that cracked like a whip in the confined space. His knuckles scraped, a fresh crimson mark appearing, but he barely registered the pain.“The plan failed! That accursed witch didn’t fall for it!” His tone was a guttural snarl, laced with deep disappointment and bitterness.The elaborate scheme he had so precisely crafted had gone terribly wrong. Auntie Glenny had been his main conduit, his crucial point of contact. If she had secured the Locknair blood, his position with his master would have been solidified, his ascent to power assured.“That old hag!” he spat, pacing the small, dimly lit room like a caged beast. “Such a simple task, and she coul
