Astrid's POV"I'm sorry, my Lord." Ulfred quickly spoke. "I just took a day off and replaced myself with my best man not aware that so many things would happen at once. And that was why I returned today and called this meeting to make everyone aware of this."I rubbed my temples with my fingers and thumb and sighed. There was no clue about the killer of the town, Gabriella was missing, Yuna had run away, the seal on the door is in danger, stray wolves had been acting suspicious and we were nowhere close to finding anything that was going on.And I cannot let any of this take a toll on me. My people needed me and time was running thin. I would have to alert father about this messed up situation."Okay, Ulfred. First thing tomorrow at midnight, you will gather the stray wolves and talk to them. Try to see if they can tell you anything about leaving the kingdom and coming back." I said and he nodded.I turned to the head soldier, "Head soldier, you will take your troops to the sealed doo

Astrid's POVI was stuck at my office after the news that Ulfred had passed onto me. Not because my father had ordered his gaurds to lock the door from outside but I did not seem to find that courage to leave the room.Yuna was found. Again.I remember the last time I was in a trance that I could not even walk properly without getting a knee cut. I was overwhelmed with joy. But this time it wasn't just joy but fear.Will she hate me for what I did to her? Would my feelings for her make me surrender and let her slaughter me while her people will kill my people? Could be strong enough in front of her?I was anxious and restlessly pacing back and forth in the office because there was something Ulfred had to tell me before I could see Yuna and I was afraid to hear. What could be more worse than what I learned about her last time?I was ready for forgive her if she signed the leave treaty between humans and werewolves but I did not have that strength to take her back in my life. It was dif

Yuna's POVIt had been more than just one hour as I assumed but the lights around me were the same. The whole place has lights and no windows, the ceiling door seemed to be opening at a ground level inside the house or building and I was free but tied up the ankle detector.The ankle detector would buzz with a loud siren and stinging current if it reached near the metal ladder what was I had kept in my mind. I stayed away from the ladder as much as I could and pulled my knees to my chest, resting my head on it. I was not even aware for how long was I unconscious. Was everyone okay up there? Did the soldiers get help? Was Calvin okay? Was everyone alive? Were they looking for me? These questions were roaming in my head and all I could do was just worry and shiver. The place I was in was extremely cold and there was no mat, I was sitting on the floor and the just feeling the burning pain on my waist gifted by Astrid earlier. "Uh." I laid down, feeling helpless and dizzy when the door

Astrid's POV"Thanks, mom." I replied and looked at father and he nodded before turning to his wife."My Juliet, this knight in his not so shining armour would now have to return his task of saving this lazy world. Now, if you excuse me." He bowed and kissed her knuckles, making her chuckle and dramatically turned around, pushing me and walking out of the kitchen.I rolled my eyes but followed him as we made our way to his office and his whole demeanor changed as I closed the door behind me. Same old dad."I heard that Ulfred told you something." He said and leaned on the table, hands crossed on his chest."He told me that the human army were actually trying to warn us about the sealed gates getting endangered and an underground creature on lose lurking in the human world." I said and he frowned with his eyes wide."Then what happened to him?" He asked."They said he was found near the hunter's society while the remaining soldiers were trying to tell the our soldiers about this and tr

Warm waterAstrid's POV"No." She said. I wanted to scream and jump in joy with her approval but I contained myself. I did not want to do anything that would scare her in any way but just wanted to comfort her in her ways. She loved warm bathtub time and loved it even more when I massaged her head while she rested.Not that she ever accepted my help nor confessed that she liked it. It was I who insisted on helping her with a promise that I would not get horny, which was difficult.That would be the first time she agreed with me. I helped to remove her dress because her hands and legs were weak and pale. But even after being pale and tired, her face turned rosy when I pecked her lips and I loved having that effect on her.I scooped her in my arms and headed towards the bathtub filled with warm water and bath bombs. She was just so perfect in my arms that I always wanted her in them.I gently placed her in the water and she sighed in relief. I smiled a bit and took a small stool and plac
