Seth woke up in the middle of the night with sweat pouring down his forehead. He gasped as the heat burned in his chest. Previously he had felt nothing but pain, and it seemed that the potion Linea had given him had provided some relief. However, what was happening now? He appeared to be between life and death right now. Perhaps even closer to the end.He couldn't stop struggling, twitching, feeling the infinite pain in the hole left by the hot lead in his left chest. It was still in there, which was probably why he was now beginning to feel like the grim reaper was waiting for him at the end of the road.Seth didn't want to die now. There were many things he had yet to realize, and with Ivory, his hopes for those goals would become more plausible. Seth could become immortal and have great power to rule the world because of her. Everyone knew that, and he didn't want to lose that opportunity. After all, even if he were now close to death, Ivory, he believed, would be able to prevent t
Ivory agreed to Max's idea of taking her to Max's grandmother's residence in the Northernshore area, still part of The Cardinal but further away from Eastonville and others nearby.The Northernshore was a beautiful place; almost most of the area was coastal. The seawater was connected to the rest of The Cardinal, which would converge into one stream with a sizable tomb in the center. No one dares to approach the cemetery, although it is said to be a place that is mesmerizing in its beauty and magic of the cemetery.Max and Ivory arrived at a building with a beautiful modern design with a large pillar filled with seawater with marine animals in it. Ivory tightened her grip on Max when she saw how Emilia Reynz's residence was filled with the beauty of the ocean floor.One thing that popped into Ivory's head when she saw the layout of Emilia's house was fear. What if Emilia was a marine animal predator? Just look at how most of the room was filled with views of seawater flora and fauna.
Max was still holding the wet towel in his hand. He soaked it several times in the water from a nearby container and placed it on the forehead of the woman, who was now lying unconscious on the bed.Ivory, who initially looked strong and had improved after undergoing a session with Emilia, suddenly collapsed, and Mirielle was the first to find her. Ivory's condition is now the concern of many people, including Emilia, who is also concerned about what Ivory has been going through recently."What else happened to you, Ivy? Please, wake up ... you have to get better. You scared me, Ivy," murmured Max, who could now only watch Ivory and occasionally caress the girl's head and face. "Why does that bastard dare to treat you like this? What does he want?""He wants eternal life, Max. Didn't I tell you?" said Mirielle, who had just stepped into the room where Max and Ivory were. "Have a drink first; you'll also be surprised when you see Ivy's condition."Max accepted a glass of warm chocolate
After being unconscious for several hours, Ivory finally opened her eyes and was much better. She even looked for Max when she first woke up, just as she couldn't find him in the room. Max wasn't there with the others, but he wasn't going anywhere. He just felt guilty for his actions that caused Ivory to have to go through this much trouble.Max may not have been the only one to inflict wounds on Ivory's life, but it all started with him. Ivory might have been heartbroken because of Seth's mistake—leaving her and deciding to get engaged to another woman. And when Max makes her a lucrative offer with money to pay off her debts and a means to get revenge on Seth, she agrees.And that's just the way it is. Ivory kept her virginity for Seth so that if he wanted her, she could give him everything. However, what happened was only a disappointment."Where's Max?" asked Ivory, who couldn't wait for the man since she woke up, but Max didn't appear before her."He's smoking outside," Mirielle l
Max was helpless. His feet and hands were now bound with a silver rope that he had no idea where he got from. He struggled, trying to break free, but his efforts were in vain because, despite his best efforts, he didn't have Mirielle's magic. So it was impossible to defeat anyone who possessed powers beyond reason.Max should have thought before promising something to this woman back then. However, everything had already happened. Now when the woman demanded the promise he once made in a fit of rage, Max could not fulfill it because no matter what, the woman's request was against his conscience. After all, it would never be possible for Max to jeopardize Ivory and her family just because of a promise from a young man.Max's pupils widened as a ray of light shone directly at him from the crack of the open door. A woman entered and pulled up a chair, sitting not far from where Max was. She looked at him for a moment, then began to speak as it seemed Max was trying to break free from the
No one could prevent what Ivory had decided. She didn't want the baby she was carrying to bring harm, whether it was to the wolves or other races. So, even though Emilia tried to prevent Ivory, the decision was final.She didn't want to be selfish by destroying her flesh and blood to get Max's love and attention back, but because it was best."Ivy, you can't go against the will of the Moon Goddess. If she wants you to give birth to your baby, then you have to do it," said Mirielle, who was still trying to persuade Ivory. Unfortunately, Ivory didn't want to hear anything else."I've thought about it, Elle. I also don't want Max to think that I have betrayed him constantly. Think of me as a fool for agreeing to give Benjamin what he requested." Ivory had been busy with the paperwork she had to sign regarding the DNA test that she would do."You could at least consider this first, Ivy. Please."Ivory got up and handed the file to Gabriella, who had been waiting since earlier to help Ivor
Max coughed at the thick smoke billowing around him. He didn't know where he was, but Max was sure he had moved on and was no longer in his previous location.He was still coughing, as his chest cavity was filled with smoke from the previous place. Max groaned, his body feeling like it had been crushed by a sledgehammer weighing tens of tons. He couldn't even lift his arms."Elle ... ARGH! ELLE!" He forced his voice to shout his twin sister's name, but it was all in vain. Because what came next was the sound of laughter echoing as if it was mocking his current condition. Max struggled to open his eyes to see who had dared to insult him this time."Who are you?! Show yourself!" he snapped, easily met by the woman standing before Max, still lying on the floor with his hands and feet bound. The man snorted."There you are. What do you want? Didn't you get what you wanted? I've given you everything you asked for, Linea. What is your purpose in holding me captive?""What? I'm not the one h
Jeremiah did not remain silent. He and several troops were ready to pick up Max, whose whereabouts they did not know. Ivory also only knows a glimpse of her strange dream, which is also Mirielle's dream. Unfortunately, Mirielle could not use her powers. However, Mirielle did not say the reason to the others. Only Ivory and Ivory also did not open her voice about it.For Ivory, what Mirielle told was Mirielle's secret that if the girl wanted to tell others, let herself explain. For Ivory, the most important thing was Max's safety."I have prepared some troops to attack that place. However, you, Elle, and Ronan. Tell Max's troops to come along and divide them into groups. One group will stand guard around the mansion, the other around the lake and the forest that connects to Eleanor's residence." Jeremiah gave the order. He could not rely on anyone for now except Mirielle and Ronan.Jeremiah then focused on Emilia and Ivory. He approached his best friend and began to give her some advic
