As the distance between us became shorter, I went from slowly walking in a daze to running wildly in delight once I made sure that everything was real."Enzo..." I muttered his name, my heart almost jumping out of my throat."Enzo!"I shouted, rushing to his side in the next moment.Dirt and blood covered his body. He must have gone through a fierce fight.I wasn't sure which part was the enemy’s blood and which part was his own wound. The sight made me so scared.I buried my heat to the hollow of his neck, gently rubbing against him.There were so many things I wanted to tell him, but in the end, all words turned into a gentle whisper of his name.A simple call of his name was all I needed. It’s enough to save me from the hell I had been in and brought me back to life. I was no longer tortured.Time seemed to freeze at this moment. I wished I could stay here forever, having him in my arm.Enzo purred in my ear and teased, " You've become clingy since the last time I saw you. And it’s
"Ah... Fuck!" Enzo moaned hoarsely before rocking his hips against me.He sucked his lips, one hand grasping my waist while the other came up to my breast and flicked my nipple lightly, as he sped up his thrusts.I enjoyed the kiss, my fingers trailing from his shoulders into his hair. With those hard thrusts, he filled up both my mind and body."I love you, Enzo!" I gasped in a daze, unable to tell if the water on my face was tears or hot water.Enzo's muscles tensed up, the veins on his forehead popping out."Say it again," he demanded, biting my chin as he slowed down his thrusts.The sudden stop of his cock drove me crazy. I grabbed his hair to drive him closer, and moaned loudly, "I love you, Enzo... F-faster... Don't s-stop!"Enzo's eyes sparkled with a desire so hot that it could burn me to ashes."Oh fuck…you are so—you are fucking driving me crazy," Enzo growled lowly. The smell of alcohol in the bathroom suddenly blew up so intensely that I was almost drunk."Enzo..." I cupp
One week later."Andrea, the dress is here."I was sitting in the living room spacing out when Tracy walked in calling for me.Tracy had an assistant behind her who looked a little familiar. Perhaps it was someone from the Rogues.I stood up from the sofa and saw our Pack totem on the girl's arm. Enzo must have settled them in.I smiled and casually asked, "How is your leader... I mean, Cutter. How is he?"Tracy's assistant nodded and said, "He's doing well. He’s been around Miss Cindy so much that it’s almost unlike him. He has a smile on his face every day now."Speaking of Cindy, I was so glad that she had finally found her mate. Our relationship was no longer as bumpy as before."Okay, you guys can talk later. Let's try on the dress first," Tracy said."I thought it would take at least a few months to make," I said with a chuckle, slightly surprised.Tracy stood behind me, placing both hands on my shoulders, and said, "We pulled a few all-nighters for this. Can’t be late for this
I sat in front of the dressing mirror after washing up.My hair was curled with big waves and then braided into a loose fishtail braid with some white flowers threaded in. They also trimmed my fringe as a finishing touch.Once my hair was done, the stylist started to apply make-up on my face.When everything was done, I looked at the beautiful woman in the reflection and almost didn't recognize myself."Bring the gown! It's time to change!" the stylist called out.However, the maid in charge of the dress rushed inside the room with a panicked look on her face."T-the dress! The dress was r-ruined!" the maid said breathlessly."What?" Tracy stood up beside me with a deep frown.In fact, the fifty-million-dollar dress had not suffered much damage, but...I covered my mouth in shock.The Moon Goddess' Heart was gone!The atmosphere in the room was tense, and the maids began to whisper among themselves."How could this happen? Did someone steal the diamond?""Who would do that? It was pre
After a long silence, someone suddenly shouted, "Bad omen!"Like a stone dropped in a pond to create thousands of ripples, more people began to shout immediately after."That's a bad omen! She's an ominous woman!""The Luna Scepter doesn't acknowledge her!""She'll bring disaster to the Pack!"***Losing the Moon Goddess' Heart wasn't terrifying. Instead, failing to properly place the diamond onto the scepter was the true disaster. Because that meant that I wasn't worthy of being Luna, and I could even be the Pack's calamity.Applause and blessing turned into insults and quickly filled the hall.Cold sweat filled my palm, and Enzo held my hands tightly. "It's fine. Don't worry, Andrea. It's just an accident. It doesn't mean anything."I swallowed nervously, trying to maintain my composure.In the previous rehearsals, I could properly place the Moon Goddess' Heart onto the regalia every single time without problems. It had never come off like this.Something wasn't right.I bent down a
I looked up in shock.The quiet, starry sky had suddenly exploded with glamorous and colorful fireworks! The multicolor lights lit up the night in clusters high in the sky.The scene suddenly felt like deja vu."Enzo, do you remember when we watched the fireworks back at the Blue River Pack?""Of course. You didn't even talk to me that much at that time," Enzo said in a slightly aggrieved tone as he nodded. "I'm good at holding grudges, you know? How do you plan to make it up to me, hmm?"I smiled and repeated after him, “How do I plan to do that?”“Yeah?”"Hmm... Like this." I hooked my arm around his neck, then stood on tiptoes to kiss him on the lips.As the fireworks exploded in the sky, we stood underneath the colorful lights and kissed. This moment was beyond perfect for me.After the kiss, I whispered into Enzo's ears, "Do you remember the question you asked me back then?""What question?""That if there was any difference between you and the men who came over to hit on me."En
I instinctively took a step back, but my heels got stuck in the floor's cracks.I fell to the ground with a cry and a sharp pain shot through my ankle while Mary's jaws loomed closer to my face.At the last critical moment, Enzo grabbed the back of Mary's neck and yanked her away.The she-wolf slammed into the wall and coughed up a mouthful of blood.Cindy crawled over in a panic. "Mom! Mom!"Her face was full of tears. She used her hands to try to stem the blood flow. But blood continued to rush out without any signs of stopping.Cindy screamed, "Doctor! Alpha, please help her! Please!"Enzo picked me up with slightly furrowed brows. He looked at the guards and said, "Take her down and lock her up."He paused, then continued, "Have the doctor over to take a look."Then, Enzo carried me back to the bedroom and laid me on the bed.He knelt and took off my heels for me, frowning again after seeing my swollen ankle."Wait here," he said, then opened the door and left.I watched him leave
"Mom!"A heart-wrenching cry snapped me out of my shock.The glass fell from Cindy’s hand to the ground and shattered as she stumbled towards Mary.She reached out and placed a trembling finger under Mary's nose before jerking back and covering her mouth.A whimper escaped her lips, and she wailed.Everything happened so quickly, and no one had expected it to turn out this way.I swallowed the bitterness in my mouth and walked over to Cindy, wanting to comfort her.But just as I placed my hand on her shoulder, she suddenly shoved me to the ground."It's all your fault!" Cindy screamed at me. "It's all your fault! Why do you have to force her to death? She was already unstable... Why?!""I..."Enzo pulled me behind him and responded, "She ran towards the wall herself. I trust that you haven't lost your judgement. I'll give you some time to think things through. If you insist on finding someone to vent your anger..."I'll be there. But remember, Andrea has nothing to do with all these.
