"So, we have less than three weeks before you will attack Valerian's pack, huh..." Henry concluded, sighing as he put the documents on the table and reclined on his seat. He even clasped his hands, looking at me earnestly. "That is quite... fast, Domi." Since Ismael and I were in Solacia after scouting for the whole day, I sent an urgent letter to Henry this morning. With that, we met in a hustling tavern to hide our meeting. He rented a room there where we could talk freely. "Can you prepare them in time, Henry?" I asked, sipping on my tea. "I already told Valerian how he would escape from the manor along with the evidence I had gathered." "I can. I can pull some strings." He glanced at me and at my brother next to me. "Are you certain that he can be trusted?" He looked at him suspiciously. Sighing, his question was starting to get on my nerves since he had been asking that for the nth time. "I told you. His mate is at risk. If Papa finds out that Ismael already has a mate, his ma

I went to visit the Porter estate to show my concern about the beaten Walter on that day. I ensured I showed my sincerity in visiting him, who was in a coma state. "When is he going to wake up, Lady Porter?" I asked in my melancholy tone after I bestowed them a bouquet.I wanted to show my sincerity and concern for this jerk even though I was already smiling inside."Our pack doctor said that it is uncertain when he is going to wake up," she said as she gently combed Walter's hair."I see... It is my fault that my pet has acted on his own accord... I should have been a better master."A better killer, rather.Walter should have died from that fatal blow.But, of course, it would have been better if he remained in that present state. If Valerian killed Walter, I might not be able to see my honeydew forever. It would be a courtship of death for him, so no.It was the best decision that we stopped them before the worst-case scenario happened."It is alright, Dominixe. It is your pet's f

I carefully placed Valerian's carcass on the ground, seeing that nothing was moving except for me. My hands were fidgeting, letting the turmoil of my emotions blind my whole core."What is happening...?"Standing up, I even dared to approach Ismael, who was not moving. I even waved my hand in front of him to know if he would blink or not. I even drew closer to hear my second brother's heartbeat but couldn't hear anything."Did the time stop?" I asked myself. However, that question had suddenly given me mice rattling inside my guts. Some cold air came to pass on my nape before I turned around when I felt a presence.There. A man, wearing a masquerade eye mask and an expensive suit, stood in the middle of the arena beside... Valerian's cadaver. His forefinger was on his lips, indicating that I should hush or not make a sound."Who are you?" My heart was pounding so fast seeing that familiar body built I had seen in my previous life. But I couldn't remember who that person was. Who wa

Ismael had told me when Papa had begun his suspicion and threatened him upon knowing that Airene was his mate. It was how I handled Valerian during the dinner with the Porter family and how he could still move despite his injuries unless I was internally treating his wounds. "If only you did not heal his wounds by that time, he wouldn't suspect a thing of you, Dominixe," Ismael said as we returned to our hometown. "Valerian wouldn't have almost to kill the eldest son of the House of Porter." I pinched the bridge of my nose, succumbing to my turmoil of emotions. I was being careless. Ismael meant that the night it happened shouldn't make Valerian unable to move. It was my fault since I was eager to make Walter experience my vengeance. Papa saw the flaws in it by seeing Valerian, who could still move swiftly and able to make some attacks. "That is not a plausible reason..." I opened my eyes and looked at him, sitting across me, trying to deny everything. "What if I am just favoring V

"Have they confirmed the bodies?" Papa asked and angrily shoved the newspaper on the table. He did not like what he read today since he was unsatisfied with the result.He asked, bewildered that neither of his children had done what happened in the Nocturnal Crest pack.The act of arson in the Nocturnal Crest pack was the talk of the kingdom. What made it blood-curdling was there were no survivors left in that pack.It meant that... their cause of death was asphyxiation and carbon monoxide poisoning.It was the same method I had done in my previous life, and I would do the same thing if only they were still alive. That was what I proposed to Papa before. He knew that was not me, so it would be impossible that I would do that action.I was detained in my chamber. Even my ten henchmen were on standby and under Ingram's command since he became one of the heir candidates a week ago.I still grieved Valerian's death, silently blaming the Moon Goddess for not rewinding the time before his d
