"Mom said you tried to sneak into Alpha's room last night?" Cindy asked, studying me."Your mother is…?"The face of that indifferent old woman from last night flashed through my mind."You've met her," Cindy said as she tidied her hair. "Her name is Mary. She's always taken care of Alpha's daily chores. Even though she's only an Omega, Alpha has always respected her greatly.""Oh, I see." I nodded, wanting to end this conversation quickly. I could feel that this girl holds strong hostility towards me.Cindy suddenly smiled. "Don't blame her for sticking her nose into this. She did it for your sake. Alpha doesn't like to be disturbed when he's resting. If Mom hadn't stopped you, Enzo would have been mad at you.""No, I didn't blame her."In fact, I didn't think that Enzo would be mad at me for that. He always seemed patient and not as easily angered as Cindy had described."That's good. Oh, by the way, I was heading to the training grounds. Do you want to come along?""Training?""Yes
"That's not what I meant," Cindy said with a shrug."Well then, just watch."Enzo moved his shoulders a bit, then walked over to the starting point where a flag was placed. He strapped two sandbags to his calves and another weighted bag on his back.Kyle leaned over and whispered, "Those add to about 50 kilograms."My eyes widened as I watched the sunlight glitters on Enzo's muscles.Kyle pressed the stopwatch and yelled, "Go!"Enzo sprinted off like an arrow shot from a bow.His feet landed neatly on each of the stakes, quickly stepping over a huge square pit.Kyle offered me detailed commentary by my side. "That's a straddle stake. He just stepped over a ditch..."Enzo’s speed was dazzling, and Kyle told me that Enzo had already slowed down a bit.I clamped my mouth in shock, heart pounding from Enzo's surging hormones.I couldn't stop staring at Enzo’s glorious figure and eventually froze at Kyle’s loud applause.Enzo had completed the obstacle course in 51 seconds.This was an inc
My cramped leg was draining strength from me as I started to sink deeper into the water.Before I passed out completely for drowning, Kyle sprang into the water and dragged me out.I coughed violently and choking on water from my lungs. Slowly, I felt my consciousness return to me.I opened my eyes and find droplets of water dripping down from Kyle's blonde hair onto my cheek."Shit! You're finally awake," he collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.I looked at him and around the area, curious where the other man had gone.Kyle snapped his fingers from above me. "Stop that. He's gone."I sat up after a short break and found Kyle's white shirt on my body."Oh. I saw you weren't wearing anything, so I brought mine over to cover you."He seemed unaffected, sitting with his upper body bare and elbows propped on the ground.The corner of my ears flushed."Don't mind it too much," Kyle said with a smile. "As you can see, I have no interest in women."I nodded.I wasn't blushing because
"What are you doing?" A deep, angry hiss suddenly came from behind us.Kyle and I turned around to find Enzo standing not far from us.I couldn't see his face very well since the light is getting darker but based on the heavy Alpha pressure floating in the air, I knew he was angry.I looked down at myself and instantly understood why Enzo was angry. Worried that it would implicate Kyle, I hastily explained, "I came here to swim and ran into Kyle."Enzo obviously didn't believe me. He quickly walked up to me and dragged me up from the ground, using his broad shoulder to block me completely from Kyle's view."Swimming without clothes?" Enzo asked, a fire burning fiercely in his eyes."Of course not. I took them off because I thought no one was here. I didn't know that Kyle would come by.""I didn't know Luna would be here either," Kyle added quietly behind Enzo, stretching out his neck a little to speak to him."Turn around!" Enzo growled out.Kyle rolled his eyes and huffed, but he tur
As soon as I walked out of Enzo's bedroom, I bumped into Mary and Cindy.My hand came up to my chest, startled by their sudden appearance.Cindy had a glass of milk in her hands. It looked like she was on her way to send it to Enzo.Both of them frowned slightly when they saw me coming out of Enzo's bedroom."Miss Gilmore, I remember telling you not to disturb Alpha in his rest if nothing required his immediate attention." Marry looked at me with her dead, empty, horrifying eyes."I wasn't disturbing him. I simply..." I trailed off and shrugged, not knowing how to explain it.Anyway, why do I need to explain my relationship with Enzo to others?Instead, wasn't it more of a bother for Mary and her daughter, Cindy, to knock on the door so late just to deliver milk?My eyes cast down on the milk slightly pissed by that.Mary seemed to guess my thoughts, the wrinkles on the corner of her mouth more prominent. She sneered. "My daughter is not the same as you. She's Alpha's right-hand woman
Just when I thought Enzo was going to blame me, suddenly Enzo picked me up and had me in his arms in a bridal carry."There's broken glass on the floor. Be careful where you step," Enzo said, looking tenderly at me.I was shocked.Then, Enzo said, "Cindy and I are merely partners. Don't misunderstand.""...""Also..." Enzo turned to look at Mary and Cindy, who were also stunned, and coldly added, "Clean up this place and go back to sleep."Mary looked extremely embarrassed, but Enzo ignored her. He carried me directly into my bedroom.I didn't even fully realize what happened until he sat me down on the bed.Enzo didn’t blame me but indulged me simply because I was his mate."Why won't you believe me?" My nose felt sore, I had a pounding headache, and my heart ached.Enzo sighed. "I know you wouldn't have done such a thing.""Then why didn't you explain it?""Mary is the one who took care of me growing up, after all. She's aged. I just wanted to save what's left of her reputation."He
A "gift". A trophy wife. That's what I was to her.However, she forgot that despite my being a "gift", I was still her Luna. I was obligated to take care of every member in the pack."I'm her Luna. I think that gives me the right to deal with it."I put Lilla behind me and raised my chin, looking straight at Cindy."Do you think you know my pack better than me?" Cindy narrowed her eyes and said disdainfully.To Cindy, the Cold Moon Pack was hers, and I was just an outsider who had nothing to do with them.That was fine with me. I didn't care about her mocking words."I'm already your Luna, and that's a fact," I said firmly."A trash Luna with weak limbs?" Cindy mocked again. But then, she suddenly switched attitude and shrugged. "If you must do it, that’s fine. But on one condition.""What is it?" I asked.She raised an eyebrow. "If you don't find anything in your investigation, then I hope you stop meddling in pack matters. Just be an obedient, and muted trophy wife."After living as
The locker's owner Sydnee was as shocked as Lilla."I-I don't know..." she shook her head. "I don't know why there are nails in my locker. These aren't mine.""Whose then, if they aren't yours?" Mina chimed in. "I was wondering why you were sneaking around the locker earlier this morning, so that's what you were up to.""I didn't!" Sydnee shook her head frantically looking to me for help. "It wasn’t me, Luna."It wasn't her. That was what my gut was telling me.The look in her eyes is genuine. However..."We have both witnesses and evidence. Do you still want to argue against it?""But... I really didn't!" Sydnee took Lilla's hand. "You believe me, right? We grew up together!"Lilla looked troubled, but she still said, "Luna, I don't think it's Sydnee. Maybe we should search a few more lockers?"That's what I had in mind too. That Mina girl was the most suspicious. I really wanted to check her phone now, as the content in it could possibly explain everything.At this moment, a female
