"Boss, we have news." Lucas stated when Kristoff and the others return at home. Instantly, Kristoff's mood dropped and Quentin feeling the change in his Dad’s mood was very considerate and understanding that this was going to be an adult talk that he shouldn’t interfere, so he quietly went back to his room under the eyes of his butler. Kristoff and Lucas immediately went straight to the study where Lucas presented a folder to him. "According to our spy’s report, the Red River Pack has has been slowly bringing in various kinds of firearms and they have been also expanding their numbers quite faster than usual. They're recruiting rogues and humans." Lucas reported as Lu Chen skimmed through the file. "As we’ve expected, they’re aiming for war. It seems like they’ve been growing fearless day by day." Kristoff Montenegro didn’t hide the anger in his tone as he thought about his enemies who are planning to put everything into chaos. Kristoff growle

Alisha’s eyes fluttered open very slowly, like a budding flower in the first day of spring. The sound of beeping machine was the first thing Alisha heard when she slowly opened her eyes. White ceiling reflected in her orbs, and she felt the stinging needles stuck on her skin as she tried to move her arms. "Alisha, you’re finally awake." Alisha felt a warm hand enclosing hers. She shifted her sight towards the soothing voice, and she quickly recognized that the person holding her was her mother. It was evident that she had been crying with all the streaks of tears left on her cheeks and the slightly damp handkerchief she was holding. Alisha⁷ empty eyes reflected the white ceiling above her. "Mom?" She heard a voice, instantly waking her up from her reverie. She blinked, and the light returned into her eyes once again. Alishqa recognized that voice and quickly roamed her eyes inside the room. She saw her mom at her bedside, t

As Alisha cautiously watched the video, she swiftly changed browsers once again when she heard the sound of her room door opening. She did it quite so naturally as if she didn’t do something so sneaky behind everyone’s backs. She relaxed, as her sight darted to the nurse entering her room with some familiar stuff she uses for the daily check-ups. She closed her laptop and moved it on the side table, making some space for the nurse. Quentin ìalso sat back on the sofa as he watched his Mom being treated by the nurse. The process was quick and it was finally over in just a few minutes. Alisha ìrubbed the cotton stuck on her arm, a stinging pain left behind when her blood was taken out awhile ago. Her gaze stopped on the covered wound, as she relaxed her clenched hands. If one didn’t look closely, no one would’ve noticed how hard she bit her lower lip and the crescent markings of her nails on her palm. Yes, she has Trypanophobia. She was diagnosed back then after the kidnapping. After

Silence filled the room after Kristoff uttered those words. The little kid slept deeply beside the two people without a care in the world. Alisha Meyer fell into a trance and then she gently looked at Kristoff's eyes. Those pair of eyes that kept pulling her into him as if she was hypnotized. Her heart pounded so loud that she suspected he could hear it with him being so close to her. Her eyes trembled as she felt Kristoff's hand tighten on her own. She could read it in his eyes. His anxiousness at this moment. He could almost hear his thoughts, almost begging her to open her mouth and give him a response. This person, the proudest person she’d ever known was now right here in front of her, humbly asking for her to marry him. This rich and cold person didn’t even present her a ring or flowers yet, she couldn’t find it in her heart to turn him down. Because deep down she knew, she knew that this person only became like this because of her. He humbled himself even if he didn’t need

No matter how much Kristoff wanted to stay by Alisha’s side, he still had some important events to attend to which requires his presence. Otherwise, Lucas is the one attending in his place. Before it was Alisha's responsibility to appear in this kind of events but with her being injured, she has to pass the baton to Lucas at the moment. And now that Alisha has been moved to Kristoff's house for recovery and security, Quentin can now easily accompany her and attend his lessons at the same time. She already called her family and friends awhile ago, telling them not to visit for now since she wasn’t really comfortable with talking what happened. But she assured them that she’s fine and well under the watch of Kristoff. And more importantly, she can also move now on her own without needing much of other people’s help. She might still be a little weaker than normal but walking down the stairs and strolling along the backyard should pose no problem. "Madam, h
