Tongues intertwined, I pulled myself out of his embrace, feeling so out of breath.“W-wait…I need a moment,” I said and inhaled deeply.Titus’ hand caressed my back towards my waist, creating small circles on his way down. It was making goosebumps rise non-stop on my skin.I inhaled deeply again, savoring his scent as it went in my nostrils. He always smelled so good to me, but since we both accepted the matebond, his smell became better, and it was addicting.“Done?”I grasped on his shirt’s neck loosely as I looked up at him after a minute. His usually dark gazes looked sparkling as they watched me. His lips were still shiny from our activity.“You want more?” It was supposedly a casual question, one that we both know we need to stop, but Titus had other plans.“Definitely. You’re addicting.”He once again leaned in and devoured my lips before I could protest. As if we haven’t been doing this for almost an hour now. Or maybe it has been an hour. I don’t really know. He’s not even n

My heart jumped for a second. I waited for them to confront me, seeing how they were still looking. They were the same people I saw watching me as I talked with Nathan from time to time during breaks.I stayed there standing, waiting. But they suddenly walked away, whispering at each other as they went.I stood there for a while, not knowing how else to react to that.Did they really just see me and Titus? Had they seen everything?Are we going to let everyone know we’re mates?I put my palm on my forehead and closed my eyes for a while. Should I even be worried about this? Does Titus want people to know now? What about Lana?Heaving a deep breath, I put my hand down on my side and just chose to walk back to my house and lock the doors.I finished and started walking towards the quarters. The sky was getting darker by the second. I bet everyone is preparing for dinner now.Deciding to hurry away, I jogged my way, my mind going back and forth between my conversation with Titus and th

“There!” Julian pointed at a tree in the rice field and we all saw a dummy hanging by its hands.We all immediately stayed alert as we all knew now that there will be people attacking us. And attack us, they sure did.Like what happened earlier, Julian and Albert took the first lead in the fight while we all supported them. They took the dummy and passed it to us. I, then helped them defeat the now four warriors–it turned out they have another dummy with them on the other side of the huge tree—and we all ran away to reach their boundary, hearing Zen’s announcement with our success.“...15 victims to be rescued. 40 minutes until we finish.”“We’re leading!” We ran with enthusiasm at that fact. It was also hyping me up that the bugging thought about getting toward the void territory no longer bothered me at all.Besides, that tree was one of the markers of the end of Eden’s territory, yet a victim was put there.Making peace with myself with the thought, I followed through with my membe

Lia howled in the air before attacking the rogue that stepped back at the sight of my figure. Through Lia’s blue eyes, I could see the rogue’s confusion about my change. He looked like he still wasn’t able to process what just happened to me. That I turned to my wolf form. But without wasting time, I leaped through the ground again and let Lia’s now larger paws smack the rogue down on the floor. He was still too preoccupied to move and I took that as an opportunity to sink my teeth into him. But the moment I did, I also felt a scratch on my back, and that familiar burning from the last time I encountered the same kind of rogue came back to my senses. Biting back a groan, I continued yanking at his side, making sure to finish this off no matter what happens. With his bloodied appearance, he might have already taken out some people along his way. And I wouldn’t let him continue on. I won’t let him get further inside Eden. The marketplace is so nearby and a lot of children and o

“Hey,”I turned my head to the side when someone called. I was just about to leave the clinic, all thoughts regarding that brief confrontation with Lana still running around my mind.“Sebastian,” I mumbled, quite shocked that he was here.Leaning on the hallway’s wall wearing a plain white shirt and jeans, the Beta looked like he was still modeling for some sort of magazine.“It’s been a while,” the charming man said and waved a single hand at me with a small smirk.I sighed and just smiled back. It’s been almost a month since I saw him. And to be quite honest, seeing Sebastian felt good. Relieving.“Yeah,” I just said and completely closed the door to my room. Those blue electric eyes of the Beta went to it.“I heard Lana was your doctor.”I looked away from him and heaved a deep sigh. That made the Beta chuckle.“Had a word with the pseudo-fiance?” “More like a rant with the fiance,” I said and started walking along the hallway of the clinic.Just like the headquarters, Eden’s cli
