Sitting in his office, Ethan tapped his pen on the desk. Each small tap amplified the tension in the room, and his new secretary could only swallow his nervousness.“So, you're saying that there have been no communication attempts from them since access to the island was closed?”“Yes, Alpha.”After announcing that they would bring Narsha back to the Moon Golden Pack, his warriors, who routinely sent reports, suddenly lost contact. And at the same time, a storm hit the island, closing the sea to large and small ships.His forehead wrinkled.To say that it was all just a coincidence, Ethan knew something that no one else knew. There were no coincidences in this world, even if it was a warning from nature when Narsha was involved.“Not even through the mind-link with the other warriors?” He asked.“Yes.”“Then, what are the rest of them doing on the mainland? Didn't anyone swim to the island?” He asked, expecting a specific answer.However, Ethan stopped tapping his pen when his secreta
The door to room 303 was open. Narsha came out of the room. Her forehead wrinkled, and her eyes blinked slowly as she tried to process what had just happened. She glanced back, looking at the door that was now tightly closed, her answer left behind.Muttering softly, she walked to the room next door. “Really, is he okay?”Narsha turned the doorknob, still shaking her head. After entering, she sat on the sofa, which was the same colour as the sofa in the next room, trying to calm herself down.After looking around the room, she noticed that the interior display was identical the one in the next room. It felt like she was sitting in the same room, only without Dexter in front of her, and Narsha pondered. She studied her hands, clenching them into fists, then loosening them.She muttered again. “What's wrong with my hand? What was he checking?”She kept replaying what had happened in the next room.After holding and feeling her hands, Dexter fell into deep thought, as if praying, but Nar
Narsha cleared her throat, glancing at Enrique and then at Dexter. The corners of her lips lifted as she asked. “In that case, we have to stay here until the storm is over, right?”Dexter rolled his eyes. He was just about to eat lunch, but his appetite had disappeared.“When can the boat sail again?” He asked, waiting for a specific answer.“They said it's difficult to predict because it's a big storm.”“Tsk, why does it have to be today?” He grumbled.Enrique added, “There's one more thing, Alpha. The communication network is also down, so we can't use the internet now.”He picked up his fork again, synchronising it with the movement of his knife, cutting a medium rare steak. The sound of the knife scraping against the plate, which he deliberately created, disturbed the atmosphere.However, no one dared to say a word.Everyone in the room waited for his response, even though they knew what his decision would be given their situation.“Alright. What can we do? We’ll leave after the s
Narsha was speechless. She could only take a deep breath, then exhale roughly. Her eyes blinked tiredly, watching Dexter's arrogant face, enjoying her reaction.Damn it. Narsha didn't even have the energy left to listen to his words.What could she expect from a beast?It was in his nature to destroy everything, as long as it got him what he wanted. The false kindness Dexter occasionally showed her was just a means to an end. He only saw her as a pawn in his game of pride.Dexter tilted his head, a wry smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. “You don't think I'm bluffing, do you?”Narsha tasted the dry, bitter taste in her mouth, then replied. “The problem is, I know it's not a bluff.”“Good for you for knowing that. Now, what will you choose?”Narsha wrestled with her thoughts and her heart, taking her time to make a decision that shouldn't have been difficult if she were a truly good person. But she knew herself.She wasn't that good of a person, so she had to consider things lik
After pulling her out of the water, he ordered his warriors to pursue Ethan’s men.They know there are five men involved based on information from Cherish. But after searching around the area where the boat capsized, they only find four men on the verge of death. The other one is assumed to have drowned and washed up in another area, or managed to escape.Narsha hoped for the first possibility. Considering that those men had been attacked with wolfsbane extract right on their faces, there was little chance of survival.Again, the fact that she had survived was a miracle.The villagers and her colleagues from the hotel gave her first aid after Dexter and his warriors brought her back to the settlement. After considering everything, Madam Bertha allowed her to stay in an exclusive room under Dexter’s supervision, following his advice.“Madam Bertha and the people of this island must be in shock.” Narsha sighed heavily.Not only did Bertha have someone posing as one of her staff members,
“Um, thank you?”When Narsha spoke, Dexter closed his mouth and pulled his head away.The wrinkles on his forehead deepened, revealing his growing unease.'What was I just about to do? Did she just... cast a spell on me? Yeah, she definitely cast a spell on me.'Unaware of what was going on in Dexter’s mind, Narsha sniffed the area in front of her as her curiosity kicked in. She didn’t realize she was sniffing Dexter’s neck because she couldn’t see anything.“Wow, so you’re really Alpha Dexter. I recognize your scent now.”Dexter frowned, pulling his face further away from Narsha's. Annoyance colored his tone. “Are you a dog?”“No.”“Aren't you going to get up?”Narsha curled her lips into a thin, awkward smile, then tried to give an excuse. “I want to, but my legs won’t move. If you give me a little more time, I’ll—ack!”Narsha clamped her mouth shut, stifling her scream as Dexter carried her in one swoop, princess-style. She wrapped her arms around Dexter’s neck reflexively. Her che
