Masuk“What will happen now, Caden?”The night was so tranquil and the sky was clear and full of stars. I can’t remember the last time I felt this safe and peaceful—no fears. I had everything I needed in life.“Hmmm…” Caden smiled and pulled me against him. His skin was hot against mine and it was so difficult to suppress myself from biting my lower lip hard. Goddess. He’s just lying beside me and I couldn’t help but admire his beauty.Especially those gorgeous green eyes.He gazed at me and caressed my cheek. ”We will move to Einsworth Manor in three days.”My eyes widened a bit, “The Manor? But wasn’t it destroyed—”“I had it built again. I didn’t make any changes to it. I wanted it the same as before, and it made me miss you when I looked into every corner of that building. I thought you would love it.”“Oh, I love that house, Caden.” I smiled at him, feeling so happy, “So many crazy things happened there and... and that house was my witness of how I tried to fight for both of us.”“That
“Love? How are you feeling?”I gazed into Caden’s eyes. He was lying on an inclined bed, his eyes drooping after he gave three bags of blood to his brother. All of us were relieved when we found out that Caden and Otis were the same blood type.“He’s my brother indeed,” Caden smiled at me and reached for my hand and held it.“Three bags, Caden? You are going to kill yourself,” I hissed at him. “The doctor said he only needs one!”“It’s fine, love. My body will produce them in no time.” He squeezed my hand. His eyes were gentle as he gazed at my face, “I just found out that there are two more patients who need the same blood type so I volunteered to donate to them as well.”The worries in me disappeared, and my shoulders relaxed from the anxiety I felt since we came here to the hospital. “The operation is a success,” I told him with a weak smile and I leaned closer to give him a soft kiss on his soft lips. “Otis will live.”My husband made a sigh of relief and closed his eyes. I could
My heart felt like exploding as I watched Caden fight with Miranda.I won’t lie but even with his age, Miranda moved like he was just in his thirties! His agility and his beetle skill parred with Caden but there was no mistake that Caden was stronger. I don’t know how Miranda could endure those powerful strikes and Caden’s razor-sharp claws. It seemed his regeneration ability was much faster than normal, which was alarming.Miranda was trying to exhaust Caden and that’s not going to happen!“Luna, please, stay still!” the healer pleaded. I felt the last silver bullet leave my body after the healer extracted it from my shoulder and slowly, my cells and tissues started to redevelop and my wounds closed. I ignored the healer’s advice not to push myself yet and went towards my husband, wanting to help him make Miranda surrender.[Giselle! What are you doing? You still need to fully recover!] Caden said in fret as he landed on his four feet, not too far from me.[I want to help, Caden!] I
I couldn’t count how many of them rained silver bullets on us from the mezzanine floor of the facility. The sound of the ricocheting bullets was terrifying to the bones. What made it worse was my fear for Gretta and Otis because Otis was already losing so much blood, and Gretta was in the middle of panicking.What are we going to do!? Are we all going to die here!? I thought as tears rolled down my face, remembering Catherine’s smile and Caden’s soft laughter whenever I did something silly.Then, from somewhere outside the building, a loud cry of a werewolf echoed all over the place, and I realized it was Caden’s call for his pack to regroup. A new hope made me smile, but then I realized...Caden didn’t know there were men inside this building who were armed with guns! It would be a massacre once his unit entered the building!My heart rammed against my chest. Adrenaline pumped wildly in my veins as I thought of how to distract all of them while Caden’s men broke inside. But the bulle
Miranda’s baleful laugh filled the whole place.Caden’s body went rigid in tension as we waited for what Miranda would do next. The old man still had a tight grip on the chains, and Gretta was too weak; she fell to her knees.Something in my throat choked me after I gasped. Goddess, I couldn’t watch my sister being tortured! [Caden! We can’t wait any longer! Gretta is hurting!]But Caden stayed focused; his eyes were sharp, glaring at Miranda and his whole pack of sentinels. I wished I knew what was going on in his mind, but as an Alpha, Caden had the ability to shut his mind off from me and the others. All I knew were the emotions he felt as he waited for the perfect timing to attack. Still, he was irritatingly calm and steady.It made me wonder how many battles he went through to be so sharp and composed like this, even in a situation of life and death.“Release her, Miranda. I am here! It’s me who you want, right?” Otis screamed again.Miranda gestured for his men to seize Otis and
[GISELLE’s Point-of-View][Can you sense their presence?][I’m trying. I can’t trace their scent. Something isn’t right, and I want you to be more careful, do you hear me, love?][Yes, husband. But we are already so deep in the forest. We should have found any trace of them already.]Caden turned to a sudden halt, and everyone, including me, stopped and watched him search and sense our surroundings. I felt my husband's frustration, but we couldn’t stop looking at our siblings. Gretta must have gone to negotiate with Miranda, but I was scared that Otis might have found them and that cunning old man—I was scared of what he would do to the two.[Maybe we should split searching—][NO! Not an option!] Caden almost yelled. His voice calmed down, but he was still in distress. [You are not going to wander in this forest alone, Giselle. I won’t let you.][But it’s the fastest way! Besides, I can bring half of the sentinels with me.]His eyes were steely as he replied, [Still no.]My shoulders
I winced.The pain had been getting a lot more intense since last night, to the point that I felt like my hipbone was going to crack open. There were waves of pain every two hours, and I couldn’t sleep well anymore. I felt a little anxious about it because I needed more time until Caden came home,
“I’m happy you remembered me this time.”“I always think of you, Giselle. It’s just mom—”It was so good to hear Caden’s voice after not calling me for several days. Just one word from him, and all the anxiety in me disappeared, and I couldn’t help but smile as I listened to him. I had a feeling my
“H-Hey, Caden, I’ll go with you.”Caden glanced at me briefly and then went straight to his wardrobe to get some clothes. Even though he was so composed, I could see the panic in his eyes while shoving stuff in a suitcase. I felt the tension on his body as he walked around his room, looking for thi
“Ma’am, the Alpha wants to see you…”“No! I don’t want to talk to him!” I snarled at the poor maid, who flinched in front of me. I was breathing hard in anger, but guilt flashed in my eyes when I saw that she got scared of me.“I-I’m sorry I yelled at you. I never want to. It must be my hormones,’ I
