“BREAKFAST is ready,” Jarckon said. The trembling in her chest grew when Jarckon murmured this in her ear. She could smell his fresh scent, which invoked a desire to kiss him. She turned around and walked toward her dressing room, leaving Jarckon alone in the middle of the room. “I will wait for you.” “Yeah, sure. Just give me a minute.” Her voice wavered. She didn’t know if Jarckon noticed. A moment later, Adhara emerged from her dressing room wearing an oversized shirt that reached almost to her knees. Jarckon smiled when he saw Adhara. She looked charming in his eyes. As time went by, Jarckon developed feelings for Adhara. They grew stronger. He didn’t know when it had started; it had just grown like a flower blossoming in a garden. It was as if everything about him had changed. But one thing he needed to assure himself: he would keep Adhara from danger and protect her, even if it meant giving his own life. Since Jarckon was getting better, he managed things himself as

The curse continued to plague Jarckon's life. He remembered the night his mother died in his arms, and the witch's curse that followed—a curse that could never be lifted. A cure might exist, but he hadn't found an answer yet. One thing he knew: Adhara was the reason the curse was getting stronger. He wanted to run away, but he had nowhere to hide. He was tired of hiding in his transformed state, too. The thought consumed him when Adhara woke up. Jarckon glanced at Adhara, saying nothing, and stared at the glass wall, gazing at the quiet night. Adhara also looked out, watching the midnight sky. The weather was nice; the snowstorm had stopped, and the moonlight brought peace to the whole place. A warm breeze blowing through the trees and plants offered them both relief. “Why aren't you afraid of me?” Jarckon asked Adhara. She glanced at him and then looked back outside. She knew Jarckon was bothered by his appearance. She understood the feeling of being pitied. She exhaled and looked

Jarckon hid between the walls when he heard the banging on the door. He felt rattled when he heard the familiar voice. It was Alexius, the Beta. He knew that he had come after him but still wondered what his reasons were and how he had found Adhara’s place. Adhara went outside to face the Beta. She felt nervous and doubtful when she saw the stranger standing in front of her house. For a while, Jarckon could hear her voice, and she looked inside the house. He could hear that she argued with the Beta. She stopped Alexius from coming inside, but Alexius was too determined. Adhara could do nothing, even if she tried to stop the Beta. Adhara ran inside the house, but Alexius followed her and let himself in. Alexius pushed the door, and Adhara stumbled onto the floor. Jarckon kept hiding, not wanting to be seen by the Beta. He could hear Alexius's voice echoing inside the house. He saw everything, how Adhara begged him to leave. When he heard Alexius, he freaked out. He didn’t want Al

“Tell me everything you said was a lie.” “I’m sorry. But that’s the truth.” She almost sat down from feeling weak, as if she were a candle burning in the fire. Alexius’ voice was an eerie sound rattling in her ears — like a storm slowly breaking her down. “Adhara, you need to accept it.” She just shook her head, and sadness blanketed her. She chewed her lower lip and let tears flow down her face. Alexius sighed and looked at her, searching for words to comfort her. “Tell me — why am I the reason for his suffering?” He looked at Adhara but couldn’t meet her eyes. Before he spoke, he was careful. He gave a tight, half-smile, thinking it would comfort her and lighten her heavy thoughts. “When did it start?” she asked Alexius. But he just moved closer and tapped her shoulder, saying he was sorry for how she felt. He sat facing her, finding the courage to look into her eyes. “I don’t want to hurt you… But I guess it’s your right to know everything.” “Tell me.” Her eyes pleaded w

“Jarckon, why are you doing this to me?”She came nearer to Jarckon and sat beside him. His thick eyelashes and lean, hard jawline made him more attractive in Adhara’s eyes.“Why do you make it hard for me? From the day you brought me to the castle, I thought my life would be in danger. Every time I see your eyes blazing like fire in anger, my heart melts—and there are moments I feel like you’ve stabbed me a hundred times with heartache.”She could not control her emotions as she touched Jarckon’s face and breathed in his scent. She rested her head on his chest for a moment and touched his lips with her fingers.“It might feel safer to hide my feelings, but I’m now convinced that hiding them was a mistake,” Adhara said to herself.She took a step back, put her palm over her mouth, and bit it.“Adhara?”“I’m sorry to wake you. I’m just checking your pulse rate… and your breathing.”Jarckon stared at her and smiled at once. Her face turned red like tomatoes glimmering under the sun’s he
