MasukWhen I opened my eyes again, it took a lot of effort to even feel my body again. It was as if I had reached my maximum limit of exertion and consumed every ounce of energy in my body. In fact, I had the distinct impression that I had only woken up because things were a little noisy outside.Well, it wasn't like I needed to get up right now, so I just curled up even more under the sheets. Even Noah was tired, so probably all that commotion outside would have to wait anyway. Although, when I reached my hand towards him on the bed, I didn't find anything. Which was strange, because he seemed so exhausted when we went to sleep yesterday… When I lay down next to him unable to sleep and… I decided to try…A surge of adrenaline coursed through my body when I finally remembered what I had done yesterday. I sat up abruptly, a sharp pain hitting my h
“If I tell you…” Noah murmured, eliciting a gasp from me as he threw me onto the bed “Then I guess neither of us would sleep tonight.” Noah lay down beside me, wrapping his arms around my waist and burying his face in my chest “It’s just something I should have done a long time ago. And the time has finally come. No more waiting.”"Maybe..." anxiety grew inside me, especially because there was little to know about what he could be talking about, and unfortunately, our marriage was one of them "If you tell me what it is, I can help."“It’s frustrating, isn’t it? Imagine having a wife who doesn’t tell you what’s really on her mind and breaks her promises.” He grunted, making me shut my mouth “Consider this your first punishment: to endure seeing me keep a secret, just as yo
“What are you doing there?” Noah’s voice caught me off guard as always, and even knowing he wouldn’t see, I tried my best to hide the surprised expression I knew was on my face.“Uh…” I shifted my weight nervously between my feet, taking one last look out the window. “I just sat on the ledge for a moment to look at the full moon. It’s… Very beautiful today.” I forced a smile, hoping not to sound too strange to him “Probably the Goddess wanted everything to be perfect when the pack celebrated your victory.”“You and your beliefs…” he muttered, but the dimmed hallway lights prevented me from seeing his expression, though his tone certainly sent shivers down my spine “Come here.” he called, making my heart skip more than a beat.
“Cassian!” Louis growled, immediately stepping in front of me. “What do you think you’re doing here? Stay away from my sister…!”“Well, so much violence. I thought we were past that phase.” Cassian smiled, raising the glass of drink in his hand “After all, look at everything my brother has already won. This feast is even bigger than what my mother prepared for me. All these high-ranking wolves didn’t come to honor me, but they came for him. What more do you two want to prove that I lost?” His friendly expression turned mocking “For him to kill me?”"Leave your wife alone!" Louis growled.“So, just approaching my sister-in-law to greet her is already a problem? Holy Goddess, I didn’t think my brother was this jealous.” His smile widened. “Good to know. I’ll keep that in mind. And, at least tonight, I think I’ll take the risk.” He took another step towards me “Oh, come on, Moonjoy. At least this time, lend me a hand. Oh, sorry, I forgot you only have one, already.” He scoffed, bringing
After so many years of animosity between me and my sister, I think I finally felt comfortable saying that I hated her. That day, more than ever. I should have been focusing only on enjoying Noah's banquet, the one that had been planned and made solely in his honor, unlike that night when we revealed Cassian's lie.However, because of Violet, I was there, practically hidden and distant from the crowd, unable to think of anything other than what she had said hours before.What was ridiculous, rationally speaking. So what if she'd said she saved Noah's life when he was a child? Alpha Kaia had believed her, but Noah hadn't. And that was all that mattered.Well, not for me, as much as I wanted to put it aside. I think in a way Violet was right. I was jealous, but it had nothing to do with the savior title or anything like that. It was something deeper, darker. More shameful for me to admit. Deep down, I felt… Possessive about Noah, even though I didn't have that right. He wasn't mine, but I
“I’ve always had a habit of going for walks alone at night.” Violet responded immediately, speaking very casually about something I knew was another lie “Actually, not even my parents knew about it at the time. I was much more overprotected after that episode. But I never regretted it.” Violet sniffed, and I think anyone would believe she was in deep pain, but not me “Even now that you’re being so unfair to me…”“Stop it, you two.” Alpha Kaia stepped forward “Sacred Moon, Noah, I thought you’d be happy to see the girl who saved you that night again. You were so obsessed with it when you were a pup…” she lamented, and only then did I realize what this all meant: another apology gift. “I questioned her reasons too, and frankly? That’s the least suspicious part of it all. After all, there was indeed a child
I think it was the first time in my entire life that everyone, even Dean, allowed me to spend days in bed recovering without being bothered.That even included myself.After the ambush, I don't think I allowed myself to spend even three full days lying down before starting to train again. My wounds
I don't know exactly when I woke up, much less when I managed to gather enough strength to open my eyes.By the glory of the Goddess, I hadn't felt so completely exhausted since the day I almost died. My bones felt like they had liquefied and my whole body was like a puppet with its strings cut. Ev
"Get ready, Noah! I'm going to shoot the arrow!"“I already told you…!” I growled, anger burning in my blood as I felt the wind change and moved my sword to split the arrow that was approaching my arm “Stop warning me! Do you think our enemies will have mercy on me and send a warning before trying
I was already in a bad situation. I think I would be safer trying to balance on a tightrope with a ravine below me.Perhaps it was my punishment for thinking that, for the first time in my life, things were going right. I spent a long time trembling and crying after the beating Dad gave me
