"A-andrick...." Andrick turned behind him, he jolted out of a daze the moment he saw Shamia. He took off his jacket and put it on the woman clinging to him. Shamia composed herself and didn't think much for now, certain that Andrick had a reason. She slowly made her way at the two of them. She wanted to ask who the woman was, but the latter seems too scared while still clinging tightly to Andrick. "It's okay, you're safe now." Andrick reassured her.Shamia clenched her fists. When she asked Andrick about the woman, he didn't answer; instead, he asked her, "What are you doing here?""I was looking for you, you've been–" Shamia's words trailed off as Andrick walked past her, escorting the woman in his arms. He seemingly oblivious to what she was saying. Shamia bit her lip. Before he left, Andrick mentioned he had some important matters to attend to and couldn't go home yet, telling her to head home first.'Important matters? Is that woman he's referring to?' shamia pouted to herse
Shamia stopped crying when she saw the man hurrying towards her. "Andrick!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with joy and relief, feeling safe at last. However, the security personnel suddenly appeared and quickly grabbed him.When the masked man in the private room noticed that the two seemed to know each other, he ordered the security to release andrick. He then emerged from the private room. When Shamia saw him, she froze, she momentarily forgot about Andrick. She wondered if she had seen the man before. Andrick leaped onto the stage and swept Shamia into his arms. He held her tightly. "I thought I'd never see you again. I have so many questions to ask you, but we need to get out of here first."When the masked man saw the scene where two figures were entwined in each other's arms onstage, he felt a surge of unease within him. 'Xeur, calm down!' he ordered and reminded his wolf spirit, Xeur. 'Why are you doing nothing? Separate them!' When the man didn't move, Xeur grew angrier.
"Hector said you want to be discharged?""Yes, Dad. My wounds are already treated, and I'm healing fast. I'm also missing Shamia," Andrick replied, sitting on the hospital bed with a book in hand. Gregor's expression darkened at the mention of Shamia. He shouldn't have let Andrick find out what happened, but if he went home, he wouldn't be able to keep it a secret anymore.And as expected, when Andrick got home:"What?!"Andrick exclaimed in shock. "How did she leave? What do you mean? Where did she go?"The servant bowed her head. "Alpha, when we went to Ms. Shamia's room, she was nowhere to be found. But we did find this letter." When the letter was brought to Andrick, he immediately read it with one hand, since the other was in an arm sling. He crumpled the paper when he read that Shamia left because she had met someone better than him. "No, this can't be true..."Gregor stepped forward. "What don't you believe? The letter's right in your hand. Every woman you've liked has betray
This was Shamia's first kiss, so she couldn't help but feel scared. She pushed Andrick away, but he was much stronger than her. Remembering his kindness to shield her and giving her a new life, she didn't resist anymore.When Andrick stopped, he held the woman in front of him by the cheeks and stared intently. "Ingrid... I knew you'd come back to me. I knew you wouldn't leave me."Shamia froze. She realized the man had mistaken her for another woman. She felt a pang of sadness that her first kiss had gone just like that. She removed his hands from her face and bowed her head. "I'm sorry, I-I'm not Ingrid... I'm Shamia."Andrick froze for a moment after he regained his senses. He pulled his face away to properly see the woman in front of him. Upon realizing it was Shamia, he looked slightly panicked. "Oh, it's you.... I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to." He held his forehead and leaned against the edge of the table. "I was drunk, please don't be mad at me." Earlier, Shamia had been unsure
"This is where some individuals from our community reside. There are also a few families here; I can knock on their doors so you can check if the person you're looking for is with them," the leader said to his "visitors." "That's a good idea. Go ahead, knock on the doors now." Hector, the man who argued with the guard earlier, ordered. The alpha signaled to him because of his tone, but fortunately, the leader didn't mind his rough demeanor.As they traversed the shanties, they suddenly heard a loud scream from a woman, as if she was hurt or possibly being abused. Andrick felt a pang in his heart, inexplicably sensing the pain the woman was experiencing as if it were his own. "Andrick!" Hector called out as their Alpha suddenly sprinted toward the direction of the scream. They quickly followed. When they arrived at a shanty house, Andrick had already opened the door and now stood in front of a room. When he kicked the door open, they were met with a scene of several people tryin
"Shamia, come back here!" her mother Shirley shouted as Shamia suddenly ran away. Shamia headed to Rui's house to hide. "Good thing Grandpa isn't here yet. Come on, hide at the back, you'll be safe there."When night fell, Shamia's father, Rexor, arrived. "Shamia isn't here," Rui replied without blinking, sounding like she was telling the truth. She swallowed hard as Rexor gazed at her intensely. "I can smell her scent here, so I know she's been here and you're just hiding her. Bring her out if you don't want to get involved." There was a threat in his tone.Just then, Rui's grandfather arrived home from work at the quarry. "What's going on here?" he asked with a furrowed brows. He had known Rexor for a long time, but he didn't like him. "I'm just here to take my daughter, then I'll leave," Rexor replied coldly.Rui's grandfather turned to her. "Just hand over the person he's looking for, or I'll be the one to deal with you."Rui hesitated, she bit her lip. What was she going to
