Semua Bab His Regret: The Alpha King Wants Me Now: Bab 111 - Bab 120

ROMAN."No," I whisper to myself, staring at the carnage around me.So many people. So many bodies. I can't help but note that most of them are close to the gate, like they knew what was going to happen to all of them and they tried to escape.The fire is getting worse. I can hear sections of the wall crumbling to the ground. I freeze in my spot, unsure of where to go and what to do. Is there even a point of us heading inside? What's even in there anymore? I crouch next to the nearest corpse. It's a guard, and his face isn't even visible anymore. Hell, even his head doesn't look like a head, just an empty skull that looks like a bowl attached to his neck. In his hands are the keys. "We should go in.”The words coming from Janus makes me freeze. I look up at him, finding him staring at the tower. "You want us to come in?" I repeat. "Everyone is dead. The place is on fire. The best thing for us to do right now is to ask for help to put down the fire, so it doesn't spread.”"But... I

ROMAN.Time seems to slow down. I see Cassandra opening her mouth, her teeth inches away from my face. Images of the dead guards and staff flash before my eyes, and I immediately know that that is what’s waiting for me if I don’t do anything now.Face clean. Head nearly unrecognizable. Blood everywhere.I can’t let that happen to me.Cassandra’s mouth draws closer, ready to bite, ready to disfigure me forever. In a split-second, I partially shift into my wolf form to block her blow. My arm shifts, my hand curling into a claw.At the very last millimeter, I deliver a punch on her face, feeling her jaw crack under the pressure. But even that is not enough to discourage her. She growls even more loudly, spraying her sour scent on my face. She goes for another bite, but this time I scratch the side of her cheek She goes for another try, gnashing her teeth at me.This time, I extend my nails as far as they can go and stab the side of her face with it.Blood splatters on my face, warm and s

MONICA.“No,” I whisper to myself, running faster and ignoring the screams coming from the crowds I’m dispersing.The male voice in my mind is just as strong as the female one, if not stronger. If not louder. He laughs in my mind, taunting me.“You can’t escape me. I know where you are and I’m coming for you.”I run faster. My bulky body keeps ramming down the chairs in the alfresco restaurants. The people try to get off the sidewalks and into the streets, almost getting ran over by the rushing taxis. The chaos is palpable. The panic in my chest is even worse.Still, I push myself to run, navigating the streets. I can see some onlookers trying to take videos of me, but I don't care. I need to go back to Terra Lycaon as fast as possble.My breath is hitching in my throat. I'm not used to this form and how much energy it seems to take just running, and I'm starting to feel exhausted. “I need more energy,” I tell the female voice in my mind. “I need to keep up this form to save myself w

ROMAN.Years of seeing this thing as the enemy didn’t allow me to get my guard down. I shake my head, backing away from it. “No, I can’t come with you.”As soon as I say that, I immediately recoil. What am I even doing here, talking to that thing? Did Cassandra get my head hit so hard that I’m starting to imagine things? I look in the distance and see that Cassandra is still being torn into pieces by the same Creatures. Janus is still nowhere to be found. The only thing keeping me from dying are the very things that I know killed my people before. If it’s possible for a Creature to look impatient, the one in front of me definitely looks like it. "We don't have much time. My people are already getting destroyed by that beast, and I only instructed them to fight before you come with me. I don’t want to lose them."The urgency in her voice makes me snap out of it for a moment. And that moment is enough for her to drag me by the back my shirt and out of the place."No, my friend is stil

ROMAN.“She’s your daughter?” I shake my head. The pain in the back of my head is getting more intense, and I don’t know if it’s because of this information or because the wound is getting worse. “I… I don’t understand. Her mother was a Human. She had cancer, and that was the whole reason why she got into that kind of work….”“That was my friend,” the Creature whispers. “She found Monica when she was killed by the Disciple. He tried to take her back but she gave him a time period, and he miraculously agreed. He believed that she would make good with her promise out of fear, but she tried to mask the scent of Monica and hide her from the world. It was working, but then you found each other.”Guilt starts to gnaw at my guts. I know that I consider it my biggest blessing to have found Monica when I did, but I can't even imagine how bad that must have been for her.No wonder the Creature attacks have gotten worse when Monica came around. Some of the Elders tried to pin it as her being unl
