I was a bit preoccupied with reading to take notice of someone approaching.
Wells came to a stop right in front of me, arms crossed. While my initial instinct was to ignore his presence, a deeper sense of respect urged me to acknowledge him.
"You've been here for hours. Don't you eat sometimes?"
I briefly raised my eyes to meet his gaze and shook my head. "I lost my appetite a while ago, maybe I'll eat later," I replied firmly.
Since my encounter with Alpha Chance and Knight, I had chosen to keep a low profile and remain silent—too embarrassed to utter a word, let alone face them. My memories involving them were a jumbled mess, just as our interact

20As soon as I heard the king's voice, I obeyed, falling silent and moving forward, my steps hesitant yet steady. I entered the dimly lit room, illuminated by the soft glow of the moonlight. The room, though chilled, felt stifling and burning upon my arrival, and I couldn't help but think that it was nothing like how I remembered it to be.Despite my attempts to appear less intimidated, the fear still weighed heavily on my shoulders. Fortunately, his Majesty remained engrossed in his seat and documents, meticulously scanning through page after page without sparing me a glance. His lack of attention, which I was quite thankful for, afforded me the time I needed to steady my racing heart and become accustomed to my surroundings."Your name?"I jerked, utterly startled. "U-uhh Ka—Amethyst, your majesty,""Just Amethyst?"For the second time, I fidgeted. "Y-yes, your majesty,"King Lucian Strevus regarded me with a clammy state. His eyes linger on my face, tracing every feature that I ha

21As I grappled with comprehending the nature and impact of magic in this realm, I sought guidance from Chance, who displayed remarkable patience. While I marveled at the vast expanse of the kingdom, in a single panoramic view, I grasped the immense power it held. The sun gradually descended, shrouding the land in the creeping embrace of twilight. Surrounded by such beauty and serenity, I experienced a fleeting taste of what freedom truly meant. Perhaps it was just a glimpse, but my mind and body would forever savor the memory of that feeling."Expect that the sun isn't as sultry as in the Eastern Kingdom,"I shifted my gaze to the person who spoke beside me. With his strong, well-built physique, streaks of blonde hair, and tanned skin, General Cassius nearly left me breathless. He had captured my attention from afar, but up close, his features were strikingly handsome in an almost exaggerated way. He stood at nearly the same height as Alpha Knight, but the contrast lay in their aura

22Alluring, much like werewolves. However, the distinction lies in the fact that their radiance seems ethereal and more fitting for the night. The vampires I had envisioned in my mind were anything but normal-looking humans. I had pictured them as beastly and corpse-like, all skin and bones.Unfortunately, my earlier assumptions were proven wrong, as the vampires I encountered today were mesmerizing, capable of making you believe they weren't as sinister as you had once thought, or even fool you into underestimating them.General Cassius werewolf howled and as the vampires pounced on him, flashing their twin fangs, he snapped their heads with his jaw, and like twigs, they snapped. Blood spurted everywhere, staining his fur coat."Protect the Luna!" Emissary Masons bellowed, his voice cold and authoritative."No! Don't mind me! Fight for your own!" I said, staring at a vampire who was ready to launch himself at me.Emissary Mason didn't respond. Breaching our formation were four vampi

23As I tried to speak, no words came out. I felt Alpha Knight's hand shift from mine to adjust the blanket, carefully draping it over me to shield my shivering body. Our relationship had been indifferent, but with each passing day, he continued to surprise me with his compassionate actions. Even though I was on high alert, he took it upon himself to tend to my wounds once more, despite Emissary Mason's insistence that he should do it. In truth, I had hoped to tend to myself, but with everyone around insisting, I chose to let the matter go for the time being."H-how did you manage to get to us? And w-what about your kingdom?" I asked, remembering the implications he had to go through to get to us.I observed him as he swallowed, his attention focused on applying a damp cloth to my wound. "The kingdom is being well managed. My father is overseeing everything," he began. "Regarding your sudden departure, the moment I learned that you were nowhere to be found in the palace, I immediately

24Three months ago, a small pack known as the Fire Crescent pack suffered a brutal massacre. The attack occurred at dawn, under the light of the full moon. The pack's members consisted of seasoned warriors and some of their elders had even led in major wars in the past. It was hard to believe that such an established and respected pack, known for its historical contributions, would become the target of such a horrific assault.The issue was further complicated by the fact that many seized this opportunity to defame the Western Kingdom by name and implicate the royal family. Rumors were spreading like wildfire, and it was causing people to question the integrity of their leaders. As a result, the royal family had no choice but to address the matter.Alpha Gilmore, the first prince, had been dispatched to investigate and engage in negotiations with the citizens. With support and resources from the kingdom, they aimed to ensure security was of the utmost importance. The citizens require

25During the peaceful moments of our journey, my mind was filled with questions. One that kept nagging at me was the fact that Alpha Knight and most of his troops were werewolves. So, I couldn't help but ask a seemingly simple question: why didn't they shift and travel in their wolf forms? Emissary Mason, appreciative of my curiosity, was more than willing to provide an answer."They want to save their wolf form in case we'd been ambushed or perhaps attacked in the middle of nowhere. We can't let our energy go to waste,"I nodded in retaliation. "Then is there a number or a limit to which you can shift?"He shook his head. "No," he explained, "as long as you aren't physically and mentally drained, you can shift whenever you want."I felt a flicker of understanding. My learning is gradual but progressive. As we followed the two guards and Alpha Knight who headed the troop, I kind of felt a sense of familiarity with our surroundings. Taking several strolls must've jumbled my mind and f
Memories of a wolf Chapter 26
26 There was a profound silence for a few moments as none of us spoke. I considered scolding myself, fearing my words were too harsh, but in the end, I refrained. After all, I was merely speaking the truth. Weren't our interactions driven by the mutual benefits we sought? Why was he suddenly adopting an air of nobility, as if we were on good terms when all we'd ever done was negotiate on our respective ends? This was out of character for him, a far cry from the man who used to accuse me at every turn. Alpha Knight's jaw tightened, his eyes darkening significantly after a few minutes. Suddenly, he seized my arm, and a sharp gasp nearly escaped my lips. "Why are you behaving this way?" I took my arm back when he released it. I stared at him, our gaze clashing with each other. "Is it a lie though?" I asked, clarifying if I was mistaken or misunderstanding some things. "Why did you find it necessary to humiliate me in that manner?" My brows furrowed in confusion. "Embarrassed? What co
Memories of a wolf Chapter 27
27 The morning sunlight met my face, and instantly it brightened up my mood. Since yesterday, I have done some gruesome thinking and consideration, especially about Eric’s proposition. It was enticing and a great offer all in all. I turned over my bed, realizing I’d have to talk to Alpha Knight about this matter. Hopefully, our conversation would run smoothly and he’d allow me to stay here, although I highly doubt that. He still considered me as his prisoner or captive, I guess? I’m not entirely certain. He made the distinction very clear to me but I could hardly believe that. For all I know, it must’ve been similar to a drunken mistake, though he’s very much aware. I slowly sat up from my bed and straightened the creases in my clothing. Another thing that I like about the Eastern Empire is probably their baths. They had wooden baths in each quarter and thought that it was a brilliant idea, rather than having bathrooms separate. In this state, I could avoid unwanted attention or othe
