It was later in the afternoon that I woke up to the emptiness of Wyatt and my bedroom. I guess Wyatt must have left for work after our hectic session. I yawned and lazily nestled in the bed like a kitten. The softness of my body made me whimper "Miss, are you awake?" The familiar voice of Fox suddenly invaded my ears. Before I could give a response, the door was pushed open, and Fox stepped into Wyatt and my bedroom with her expression as usual.Except there was something different in Fox’s appearance that I just couldn't pinpoint. Moreover, Fox always asked for permission before she entered, unlike now. I took a deep breath to snap out of the chaotic thoughts that were running through my mind. Perhaps I was just being paranoid, so I tried to suppress them instead.Fox flashed me a sweet smile and stretched out a lunchbox towards me before I could say a word. "Miss, Boss Wyatt ordered me to deliver this to you. Boss Wyatt ordered me to make sure you eat the meal in my presence so he
My eyes widened, and my actions paused at the scenery I saw. My eyes darted around, taking in the view of the beautiful garden I was in, while I kept swinging happily. My mind began to spurn in surprise. Why was I in the garden? Weren’t I at...“Filippa, come over. Dad is home.” The familiar voice of my mom broke me out of reverie. My thinking immediately diffused. “Dad? Mom?” My eyes widen in astonishment, and my face whips towards the direction of the voice. Mom and Dad are still alive? They weren’t dead? Without further thought, I jumped down the swing and dashed towards the voice, finding it too good to be true that my dead parents were alive.Somehow, before I could take the third step, I saw myself right in front of my parent's presence.My eyes widened in disbelief, and before I knew it, tears began to cascade past my eyes, my body trembling. My parents. They're alive… It turns out that they're not dead…“What are you crying for, little Maia?" My dad’s voice suddenly drifted
“They’re here.” Wyatt’s agitated voice drifted into my ears as soon as I regained consciousness. Knowing how easily Wyatt tends to catch me whenever I’m awake, I quickly tried to continue feigning like I was sleeping. “They disguised as Fox to hurt Maia. Who knows what they will do next?” Wyatt’s deep, cold voice, which was filled with possessiveness and fury, invaded my ear.His hands kept stroking my cheeks, helping me relax more and more, that it really gave me the impulse to want to fall asleep again. Asher unconsciously began to exude a cold aura, and his voice was laced with darkness. “They must have known Maia is a pure-blood or the identity Maia harbors…”“It’s my fault. I failed to protect her well.” Oswald suddenly interjected with a self-blame sentence. I had the impulse to clench my fist and bite my lower lips, but upon recalling that I was feigning sleep, I had to let go of the urges. I couldn’t help falling in thought due to their words. Is there something I’m missing
My eyes flew wide open, and I let out a yawn, feeling more relaxed than ever. Now, it felt as if I was completely healed and I was never poisoned.As soon as Wyatt is back, I’ll let him know that I feel great and we can leave the hospital already. According to my knowledge, the poison that can kill me has to be much more potent than the one I’ve ever tasted in the past. And the mediocre one that was sent over wasn’t the one. Talking about poisons, I think I might have become mithridatic considering that, at the end of the various heinous subjections of poison, Henry is always shocked that I’m still alive after all the torture and subjections.Suddenly, a particular gaze fell on me, resulting in furrowed brows. I turned my face towards the door. My frown contorted tighter upon seeing Asher sitting in my ward—alone. A surge of fury invaded me immediately. I rolled my eyes and scoffed coldly at Asher. “You don’t need to watch over me.” I scowled at him without bothering to land my ey
Wyatt stretched out his hand to rub my back as if to comfort me. He leaned forward and brushed his nose with mine. “For daring to bully my baby, how should we punish him?” He responded calmly, playing along to my antics. My face brightened up with a smile immediately. Asher sprang up, and he glared at the both of us immediately. “Hey, what the hell are the both of you on? Isn’t it enough that I’m being given dog food despite helping you couples…”“Hubby, kick his ass!” I interjected Asher’s words while flashing a ruthless grin at Asher. Immediately, I batted my eyes at Wyatt innocently and rubbed my head in Wyatt’s chest coquettishly. Wyatt nodded his head in agreement. He gently separated from me and straightened his back. Without hesitation, Wyatt began to stride towards Asher.Asher’s eyes turned half-lidded, and his eyes fell on Wyatt in disbelief. Seeing Wyatt after him, Asher began to run around the ward as if, in that way, he'd be able to evade Wyatt’s kick. “Wyatt, you’re pu
My lips parted in surprise, still unable to comprehend what Wyatt had just told me. I have always wondered what identity Lorelei had, but it turns out that Lorelei is a witch. A witch? But how? How did a witch come to live in the werewolf clan? Aren’t werewolves and witches enemies? Wait. Talking about witches, I have always believed that they don't exist anymore. How can there be one alive… No. No, it’s multiple now. Suddenly, the confusing thoughts that had always pervaded my mind began to click. No wonder Rex angrily fought Oswald when I explained about the sudden, strange force that collided with me back then.It turns out that Rex already understood everything! “It turns out that that huge force was all Lorelei’s handiwork. The drink in the fridge that stirred up my power was also Lorelei’s handiwork.” I muttered while staring into the distance. If the four knew that Lorelei was behind it, why were they hiding it from me? I guess there must be more to this!‘Even Oswald isn't
Alpha Hudson gnashed his teeth together, fury surging through him. Those damn witches. They are doing too much!The witches had been entangled in a war with the power axis pack three weeks ago. The power axis pack was yet to get over the casualties and the impact of the war from a few weeks ago, yet it turns out that the witch will suddenly attack again, not even giving them the chance to catch their breath. Unlike the werewolf division in packs, the witches are combined and live together, giving them leverage over the power axis pack. Alpha Hudson bangs the table hard. “Those damn witches. They must have known the precarious situation we are in, which is why they decided to do this.” He seethed in fury. The witches must have known that Luna Lena, Natalie, and Phoebe are in labor, which means the alpha, beta, and gamma are weak as well and won’t be in full health until their mates have given birth and return to their healthy phase. Finley and Louie exchanged glances with Hudson.
Finley and Louie's eyes widened in shock. Unfortunately, their distance was meters from Hudson, and before they’d arrived in the two’s vicinity, Conan would have stabbed Hudson. “Hudson!” They both yelled to snap Hudson out of his sudden reverie.At the call of Finley and Louie, Hudson snaps out of the reverie. Upon seeing Conan’s knife, his expression changed immediately. Quickly, Hudson tried to twist his body to prevent the knife from stabbing into his vital area. Luckily, by the time the knife makes contact with Hudson, it can only stab Hudson’s waist instead of the vital area Conan planned. By this time, Finley and Louie had already arrived at Hudson’s side. They quickly held him up to support him. “Hudson…”Hudson waved his hand indifferently, and his lips unconsciously lit up in joy. “I’m fine, buddies. I’m fine.” He retorted and evaded their help before standing up on his own, regardless of the stab. Suddenly, Hudson’s eyes twinkled with determination. His wife is alive, an
