Atlas' POVI watched Uncle Edwin, who took a deep breath and released it heavily, then brought himself closer to lean towards me. "If Elsie's father is a witch, then why she left Eslie, Atlas, is clear." Uncle Edwin put the photo back in his pocket.There was a reason for her father to leave Eslie. I'm not sure it was the right move. Leaving Eslie with a woman who couldn't take good care of her was even an option."I saw what that girl's life was like, uncle, and I'm not sure that her father did the right thing by abandoning her." I opposed that reasoning.But Uncle Edwin seemed to agree more with what Elsie's father did. She confronted me. "You don't know what Atlas thinks and how far his decision will go. As an adult, I agreed with what he did, even though there might be some people who were greatly harmed by his choice. But it was right. It was right when that man left Eslie as soon as she was born because if he had stayed there, then Elsie would have been in danger."Marriage betw
Atlas's POVI will protect her, of course I will. But how? How can I protect her when my and Eslie's situation still hasn't improved? How can I protect her and reassure her? What should I do?"Argh... Damn it!" I hit the tree hard again and made it fall in the same direction.I turned my gaze to my surroundings for a moment, sweeping my gaze around with a glance while taking a deep breath. I felt there was a reason why Uncle Edwin asked me to meet him in a remote area like this. One might be because this serious conversation should not be heard by anyone, and the other reason was that he was quite familiar with my character.He knows that sometimes it's hard for me to handle my emotions well. "Things got really messed up." I slapped my hand on another tree trunk, standing upright, but this time, it was just to lean against it, and I had no intention of hitting it, venting my anger. "How did things get this complicated?" I pushed my hair back to organize my thoughts, but it didn't do a
Seth's POVI sighed heavily, staring at my phone screen with the intention of ignoring it, but I couldn't do it. If I ignored her, then I was worried that something even more troublesome would happen, so it was better to pick up the phone before Elsie returned. There was no telling when Eslie would return after her business outside was done."What? I told you to remove all the evidence and erase everything until there's no trace left." Why is it so hard for her to do that? Should she have adequately acted instead of continuing to report her situation to me? What a pity. I pushed back the strands of my hair that touched my forehead."Alright, I understand, but when are you going to bring her here, sir?" the voice on the other end sounded urgent and annoyed me."The matter about her I will take care of, you don't need to interfere." I told them not to press me about it, but they wouldn't listen to me. To what extent should I continue to listen to their words? "I told you she needs time.
Seth's POVI still haven't gotten an explanation as to why I felt so calm when I saw her. Apart from the main reason I came to her, I had another strange thing bothering me as well. I honestly feel an urge inside me that I can't understand.Something about her intrigues me. My attraction all started when I first got to know her. My life is not entirely pleasant. One might even say unpleasant. I have my situation. Previously, I lived with a lot of discomfort within me. I was constantly plagued with nightmares during specific periods.My body wasn't in optimal condition because of that. My mind was distracted, and my emotions seemed to go up and down and were easily provoked, but ever since I met Elsie, I felt a strange feeling that strangely made me comfortable.The nightmares that had been haunting me and making it difficult for me to sleep no longer came to bother me. My life changed, becoming something unexpected thanks to his existence.Yes, my nightmares have disappeared since mee
Seth's POVA few months ago, before I met Elsie, the existence of Micheal became something of a stir throughout the region, as Micheal was a witch. The existence of a witch in the werewolf territory was undoubtedly a matter of concern, but Micheal was found dead.No one knew the reason why he ended himself, but his death was quite ugly. The elders certainly regretted the witch's death in their territory, having missed the opportunity to utilize the witch.The existence of a lone witch brings significant benefits to werewolves because their power can awaken the power of werewolves. I didn't know what he was doing, but when I heard them, I knew what they were using.Tracing it, they learned that Micheal had a child somewhere. I still vividly remember their looks when discussing that. The old man, who was my father's advisor, said, "We should bring her son to this place immediately."Even before Father gave me a direct order, he had involved me in the conversation. The old man looked at
Seth's PovBecause of what I did, the people bullying her became even worse than before. Elsie was down, and I felt happy about it. Her suffering was a fun thing for me. She was amusing me with what she was going through.But my thoughts became different when Elsie came to me with her story. When she was down in her lousy state, she ran to me and told me. The reason why she came to me and was so open was because I approached her with a gentle attitude towards her.Yes, I did the character trick on her solely because I wanted to get close to her for my mission. There was no other reason for my attitude except that I tried to trick her.I repeatedly created an atmosphere where she felt comfortable with me. In front of her, I became a positive figure who opened her mind that she could become a better person no matter what people said about her.I intentionally built up her confidence for whatever reason. Whether it was because I wanted to gain her trust or because I wanted to make her a
Atlas' POV"What are you doing in this place, Atlas?" Elsie looked at me fiercely.I hated that gaze of hers towards me. How could her gaze at me turn out to be like that towards me? I didn't understand her attitude, which turned suddenly foreign to me. Even though I tried to explain that I didn't mean anything to her, why couldn't she understand?She could understand a little, but why did she choose the opposite? I didn't understand her attitude at all. Eslie made me not understand. She's hard to understand, but I'll try for her sake. I wasn't going to let anything terrible happen to her.I stayed where I was and didn't go over to her. I'm afraid she'll react more severely. "I won't force you. I didn't come to make you feel upset or pressured, Elsie. I won't force you to come home with me." I looked at her pleadingly.I felt guilty for her. I felt like I couldn't be the person she could rely on. I showed my helpless side before him, making him look shaky.I watched her, looking at he
Atlas' pov.I watched Elsie, who looked uneasy, more uneasy than before. My words must have disturbed her and caused turmoil in her mind. It's just that she couldn't believe it right away. Hence, she looked uneasy and hesitant.I reached out my hand to grasp hers. "Calm down, Elsie. You don't need to feel uneasy because of that. You are indeed a witch, and that is no longer a doubt. I believe your father has done something to you to suppress the power within you."Elsie looked at me seriously, her eyes trying to find the truth in my words. "What she did, you might be mistaken." She still denied it.I shook my head. "No, this is not my mistake. Your father is a witch, Elsie, and I'm sure he must have sealed the power in you since you were born." There were many reasons for her to do that.The most important reason why he did it was for Elsie's safety. He took extraordinary measures to save his daughter, as well as for the woman he left behind."But why would he seal my power? I'm just
