Oh, L, after everything you have been through. How could you still be so naive and stupid?!If Nyla were still around, that must be her disappointed comment.All those things which had happened to her, including having her parents evicted and losing her wolf, were all because she was so weak and pathetic. She couldn’t find the determination to fight against Cory. And she couldn’t be cold-blooded and careless.If only she had left the very moment after she saw Cory with Lennie, then none of those things would have happened. If only she had attacked Cory and killed him in the hallway outside the basement, then at least her parents would have been okay.But No.She did none of those things because she just couldn’t help but trust the conscience of the person she had loved so much. And no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t have the determination to become a ruthless murderer.She was so weak and tragic, completely a disaster.When she was tied to the hospital bed, she had made u

“I am now at your side.”That was the sweetest thing he had ever heard. While she was saying that, Ragnar looked right into her eyes and curled his lips into a smile. He wanted to hold her and kiss her and then tell her he wanted her at his side forever. Sadly, it wasn’t the right time.“Thank you,” he said.It was so difficult to suppress his impulse to be intimate with her. He had to turn his head and ask her, “Do you want to take a ride outside? There are actually some great views in the desert.”Elena would love to have a ride with him. But before that, she had other important issues to deal with. While Rangar showed her around, she paid attention to every rogue she had run into, but none of them were her parents. Which made her feel worried.“Sure,” she said, then asked, “But before that, can I ask you something?”Ragnar nodded his head. Elena then said, “It’s about my parents.” She paused for a second, then continued, “Before I was… sold here, about half a month ago, my parents

After getting into the elevator, Elena breathed a sigh of relief quietly. Before they arrived at the hotel, Ragnar assured her multiple times that Cory wouldn’t recognize her. Still, she couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous.It had been half a month since she decided to return to the kingdom and search for her parents. Anxious as she was, she had to learn how to fight in human form with guns and daggers. Besides, she needed to learn how to behave and act like a real old-fashioned princess. The identity Ragnar and Daniel fabricated for her was the secret inheritor of the Phoenix-a mysterious species who kept their distance from all other shifters' kingdoms.“But there will be someone from Phoenix sending the wedding gift. What shall we do with them?” Elena was uncertain about this bold plan.Daniel assured her with a shrewd grin, “No worries. One of my aunts is married to Phoenix. I told her about you and your parents. She agreed to our plan as long as we don’t boast about it and draw

When that gorgeous girl who was probably his second-chance mate stepped into the dancing hall, Cory felt his heartbeat stop. He ceased his conversation with those honorable guests surrounding him, and then turned and strode towards the door. Some guests’ attention was drawn by him. They followed his motion with their eyes and then saw that stunning newcomer.She wasn’t the kind of sweet or sunshine type who would make others fall in love at first sight. But that distant ambiance around her, and that coldness and pride in her eyes made her a raving beauty above all other people.She didn’t smile, and she didn’t socialize with others like a respectable guest was supposed to. It was impolite, even rude to attend a formal party like that, but Cory was deeply drawn by her indifference. It was what a princess should be in his mind. And that proud attitude of hers made him want to conquer her more than anything.It almost felt like she was made for him. And he would never stop pursuing her

Chris Moore, the invisible assistant of the kingdom’s young king, had a really good time recently. As the king’s wedding drew near, more and more tasks fell on the kingdom’s Beta, Jasper’s shoulders. And each day, Jasper showed more of his incompetence at handling those tasks as the Beta.He was an incompetent wolf all along, but he got the Beta’s position anyway just because his father once fought wars following the old king. Chris’s father was in those wars too. He didn’t make as much contribution as Jasper’s father did, but that didn’t mean his son would be inferior to Jasper.They went to the same school, got the same training, and took the same examinations. Chris’s performances were much better than Jasper’s in all aspects. Still, he couldn’t get Beta's position because his father was less famous.Chris hadn’t been happy about it for a long time. Luckily, the young king he was serving was a bit arrogant, but not an idiot. He gave all the inessential paperwork to Jasper but sec
