As Leah slowly opened her eyes, she couldn't feel her body because she had used up so much energy. She moves her head and is glad she can turn it to the side. She was sure she was still in the palace because she was lying on a soft, comfortable bed with a beautiful ceiling. Looking over her shoulder, she saw a man reading a book with his legs crossed.
Oh...She was sure he already knew she was awake, but he didn't even look at her."I need to go home..." Leah was so weak that she could barely hear herself talk.If she doesn't make it home, she's afraid it will be long before she can regain her strength. She wants to find a medicine to help get her mana back."You are quite stubborn, aren't you?" Amoux's voice was authoritative, even just asking.He put the book down and looked at her.Leah turned away from him because she couldn't look at him. She also didn't answer what he said. A hand touched her heart when she saw that he was still alive. His figure, now wearing a royal robe, caught her eye. She can't help but notice how far away their state is from rank and life. Lycan and Luna loved and cared for him, while she had no parents."Aghh..!" She tried to get up, but her body just kept getting worse.Amoux watched her every move until she finally organized herself and sat up properly."Uhm..."She looked out the window and tried to remember how many days she had slept. She wanted to make sure how long she'd been in this bed. She's also unsure if she's on his bed because she can smell his scent."You can stay here instead of returning to your house, which the wind could destroy because of its ugliness.""W-what did you just say—" Leah roared but stopped as Amoux didn't turn away and just snapped his fingers.After he snapped, Leah kept her eyes on the door as it opened. Their pack servants moved so quickly that she couldn't help but be impressed."You're a jerk." She couldn't hold back from telling him.Richelle gave her that house, and she stayed there even though it was broken. She didn't know how to be loved by her parents or wolves until she met Richelle. She remembers many things about the house, so she won't allow anyone to insult it."You haven't been able to say thank you to me. Because of you, I had to wait longer to find the leaves I needed for my medicines.""Tsk." Amoux didn't give her any attention after she stated what was inside her heart and just continued what he was doing.Leah glared and gawked at him, but the man showed no care.As she's not taking back her eyes to the man, three beta women enter with a food cart in their hands. Even though the food cart hadn't fully come yet, she could smell it immediately.The smell is making her stomach rumble.The first woman opened the food and gave it to her while she still had sharp eyes that penetrated Amoux. However, just like what she expected, the man just offered her a poker face without even lifting his face.She swallowed many times and watched in awe as the three women with the cart came out of the door. She didn't move the food; she just held the spoon and fork. Since this is the first time she has seen it, she's not sure what to call it or what kind of meat it is."You won't feel full just by looking at that." Finally, he spoke up and turned the page of his book."H-huh? Of course, I know that! What do you think of me? Fool?" She stabbed the pork, ate the big chunk of meat, and with the large slice in her mouth, she kept talking. "Jaz ficoz, you're sa Prinz; it means you're allowed to believe me!" (Just because you're the prince means you're allowed to belittle me!)"What the hell are you talking about?! Don't talk when your mouth is full, idiot!"Leah got more annoyed with him. All the worries she felt when she healed him had been wiped out like an intense storm had passed, taking away her anxiety.She didn't reply anymore and just ate because she felt like a hungry beast was living in her stomach.After eating for a short time, she finally tamed the hungry beast inside her that was ready to devour anyone. She had just put the bed table back down and was about to leave when Amoux asked something out of the blue."Where do you think you're going?""Home?" She looked at his eyes and rolled her eyes. "Don't worry, MY PRINCE! I'll give back the things I borrowed!""I don't care.""Then, I'm leaving —""Did I tell you it's okay to go?" A pushing tone with sharp edges of words stopped Leah."A-ahm... I..."With the roughness and coldness of his voice, Leah quickly moved her foot back on the bed. She bit the bottom of her lip. Her body seemed to have a mind of its own and instantly acted."But the plate I use...""When I command, you follow. Don't make me repeat myself."Like a scared kitten, Leah nodded."Leave it there because servants will take it; that's their work. Tell me what you want as compensation for saving me, and I'll give it to you."Every word he said showed how proud he was.She doesn't need the reward. It's enough for her if Amoux says how grateful he was since it's also her job to help the Nightwalker pack. Well...Because at the end of the day, he is so precious to Leah that she came to the silly thought that she wanted to devote her whole life to him. And she's confident that her emotions towards Amoux would give him a chance to wreck her life.She hates that she seems desperate for love.After a long silence, Leah talked again."I want to take a bath." Leah said in the air, "But in my house, not here."Leah thought that if that's what she wanted, Amoux couldn't do anything but send her home because she had nothing to wear. Nevertheless, Amoux made a face like he couldn't handle more of her tricks. "You can take a bath here. I'll tell the servant to make sure you have something to wear."Amoux stood up without expression while Leah watched him and opened her mouth."But—" Before she could finish her sentence, she heard the door shut very hard."Haaah..." She thought she would have a heart attack because her heart was beating so fast. Since this was the first time she had talked to him in a long time, she could feel her cheeks red."I can't stay here..." she mumbled to herself and was about to stand up when the door opened again and didn't expect who would come in."Luna!" She bowed and bent down. "Alpha."Why did they come here? Leah rose.Since she hadn't taken a bath yet, she became anxious about how she looked.She turned at the bed and the table because she was afraid the leftover food had been spilled, and she didn't want Amoux to be mad at her because this is his room.As Luna got closer, she shut her eyes. Lycan is still wearing his Dragon robe, and Luna is also wearing one.Even though there was nothing to step back from because the bed was behind her, she still took a step back."Leah." When Luna took her hand, she opened her eyes. She noticed that Luna was looking at her with bright eyes, as if to reassure her that there was nothing to worry about."You probably know us because you grew up on our territory and Richelle introduced you to us." She squeezed her hand as she looked at it."Of course! Who wouldn't know the King and Queen of all werewolves?" Leah was going to say that, but she held her tongue and continued to listen."I know
"Fucker!" She repeated.Amoux looked into her eyes like he wanted to kill her, but he let go of her hair soon after."A simple Omega who was trying to get on the same level as a future Lycan King. Who do you think you are?"'What the fuck?! I have no intention like that!' Leah opened her mouth to defend, but then she shut her mouth again."I'm just wasting my time," Amoux added before he turned around. When Amoux held the door, he turned his head again and gave her a death glare.'If my father just didn't favor her, I could easily kill her!' Amoux talked to his wolf.'No!' Black growled. Amoux' wolf.Amoux became confused by his reaction. This is the first time Black acted like that. Every time Amoux tells him that he will kill an Alpha female, the wolf doesn't care at all.Amoux just disregarded it and continued on his way.Leah stared at the door for a long time before she realized something.The fact that the man she secretly loves has such a dirty personality bothers her.“I can't
"What?" Leah exclaimed aggressively, her gaze fixed on his palm on her arm. She avoided looking at his face since she had no intention of seeing the pompous Amoux's face!He released his grip on her arm as if his skin were on fire and he burned.Leah removed her hand furiously and resumed walking, and he did the same. As she felt him behind her back, she halted her stroll since she wanted him to be the first to walk.A Prince will always be one step ahead. And a peasant omega, who is far behind..."Lycan. Luna." Leah greeted them, knelt and bent her head when they arrived.Leah waited until they tell her what to do. However, as soon as the man next to her took a step, she went on talking. "If you'll let me raise my head now, I'd like to give my decision now."She saw Luna come up to her and extended her hand out. Leah turned her head to look at Luna and took her hand."You can stand up. After all, Amoux is here now. Tell us what you want to do." Her voice was nice, and she could tell
Leah's body became frozen as a reaction to what the Lycan stated. When she turned to Luna, Luna just nodded.'Why am I compelled to wait for that man?' If only she had a chance to say these words.'He was the one who said that someone was better than me! I also refused their offer, which means I should no longer be associated with them. I will never alter my views, regardless of anything else they say.'"Bring him to Amoux's chamber and do not allow her to leave. Provide her with all she needs in case she requests anything!" The Lycan declared unequivocally, leaving her speechless.****"Get me out of here!"Leah slammed the door. She could do nothing but hit the door and lean against it.“I needed to go back to my house!”They put her inside Amoux's room, and they didn't let her speak anymore. They locked the door outside, so that she would not find any way to get out.She looked around Amoux's entire room and yelled again. “It's the Prince's fault!”“...”No one replied to her.“If
“Stop acting like I'm wrong! Let go!” Leah tried to push him away but Amoux started tugging more fiercely and viciously.She couldn't quite handle it.She looked him straight in the eyes and saw that he had no intention of letting her go. She attempted to shove his hand away a second time, but she did not succeed."I told you to let me go! Shit!"As she tugged on her arm again, finally, she was able to regain control of her hand, but she was also sensitive to the discomfort caused by his nail dig against her flesh.Both of them examined it together but she hastily covered the small scar since a little amount of blood had leaked.She closed her eyes for a while to calm down. Nevertheless, she shut it more tightly because the wound he had made was deeper.Leah backed away from him, and didn't care if the Lycan or the Luna would be upset. She will not last long with this man. Perhaps, She'll lose her mind tomorrow if she stays with him longer."I'm leaving..." Between her words are only
Leah's Point of ViewOne hour later, two beta guards entered Amoux’s chamber with the meal he mentioned and the medication I believe they took from my home.When the Lycan informed me that I would have a bedroom and laboratory in the palace, it seemed like a dream. It seems like just yesterday when I envisioned them treating me fairly. Not only did they treat me with respect, but they also recognized me as the doctor."The Prince has instructed us to provide you with your medical supplies, while the Lycan has ordered us with anything you ask for. Just tell us what you need and we will give it to you." The man carrying my medication pack spoke out.Another man pushed the stroller that I was thinking where my food was.Like the first time I ate here, I smelled cuisine that I had no idea how to prepare. My mouth seems to be oozing saliva, and my stomach is rumbling. I refrained from expressing my need for a large quantity of food."Care to enlighten the Lycan that I vehemently disagree w
Leah’s Point of viewHis tone was ripe. Each chuckle he had in my ear, it was like music, and this was the first time I saw him laugh.I had never seen him laugh before and seeing him in this state made my heart race.My face was flushed with heat, and a butterfly danced in my stomach.I glanced away from him, not wanting him to see my blushed face. I want to cleanse my face because of all the awful flames around it. I seemed to be delighted as well, as a smile threatened to come out of my lips just because I watched him laugh, showing his dimples.My two hands smacked my cheeks, reminding me that this guy belittled me! My other brain immediately responds to whatever my other brain says and rejects anything I say. I must keep in mind that I must conceal all my emotions towards Amoux.Regardless of how much I like him, I must imprint in my mind that he will not like me because he views me as worthless. Even just saying "thank you" to me, he still struggles to do so because he seems to
Leah's Point of ViewWhen I woke up, he was gone. I shifted my posture and used my finger to brush my hair. Suddenly, the last words he said to me before I fell asleep flashed across my mind.I smelled myself and blinked three times, surely it was a dream I had last night."Another of my dreams for him?" I inquired of myself, since that circumstance was not new to me. I swung with my eyes to the now-fixed door. I then peered out the window, unaware that I had spent an excessive amount of time asleep.I extended my hand and made my bones ring. I walked out the door, hoping to locate someone, since I couldn't remain in the room for long without speaking to anyone.The Lycan seemed confident that I would not flee because the guards were now gone.I have no idea where my feet will lead me. I just watched them leave the palace, not to return to my dwelling, but to see the stars. I lifted my head and searched for meaningful star lines."How come I'm not seeing anything right now? Is rain co
