《Alpha And Omega》 Chapter 1 - Prologue Humans called them a tale. Humans called them monsters, evil, and one of demon form. Humans use their names to scare their naughty children. So... did they truly exist? * * * Eden Grey, a 17th-year-old girl, human. Just 165 cm tall and 50 kilograms in weight. She had two different iris colors, green like peridot, dan blue like sapphire. Green on the left side and blue on the right side. a Beautiful girl with cute rabbit teeth. "Oh, Shit! I need to hurry!" She missed the study group because her stomach was too sick, and she needed to release that shit on the toilet. Today, her school was going to the museum. They were studying the history of the world, especially in their country. "Fuck that lactose!! I should not drink milk this morning. Now, my stomach aches!!" she cursed herself for drinking a lot of milk this morning as a breakfast. It was a break and fast!! Fast to get out! "Dammit, where are they?!" she muttered as she kept on running through the museum showroom¡ªwhat a harsh girl. This national history museum was so huge. Eden had to work hard if she wanted to reach her school friends. "Hey, don''t run!" Security cried to her. "Sorry, I need to hurry!" Eden continued to run. Somehow, Eden stopped her feet at a taxidermy wolf statue. Eden was amazed. She looked down to the wolf''s eyes. One was blue, and the other one was green, similar to hers. "Alpha?" Eden read the description of this statue. The wolf was a leader in his pack. "so, he was the strongest." Eden finished reading the article. "ah, I don''t have time for this!" The clumsy girl began to run again. But... Bump!! Accidentally her tiny body bumped into someone''s chest. So hard until her nose felt swollen. "Ouch! My nose! Why so hard!! Did I hit a rock?" she said in annoyance. The man in a black suit just only looked at her flatly. His muscular body stopped as he studied the girl ¡ªin high school uniform¡ª who was standing in front of him right now. "Hey!!" Eden''s tone raised. When Eden looked up to see who the hell he was, their eyes met, locked each other. The man had sharp eyes, two beautiful black beads that were so dark like the night sky. Not only his eyes, but his hair was also dark and shiny. His body was so tall and athletic, wrapped in a black suit. Eden could see how gorgeous this man''s appearance was. What a tense quiet situation. Eden felt her tongue become numb. She could not speak because this man''s aura was too dark, stiff, cold, and heavy. The man bowed slightly to inhale a sweet phenomenon that tickled his nose. It came from Eden''s neck, the scent of white lily flower mixed in sweet vanilla. So seductive... so attractive... and so intoxicated. "So... you''re my Luna?" Asked the man as he grabbed Eden''s chin. He looked deeply into her eyes; those beautiful irises were too dazzling. "Luna?" Eden was confused with his words. "I''m an Alpha, and Luna was the mention of my mate," He said. "WHAT??" Eden screamed in disbelief. They had never met before, suddenly he came and told that Eden was his mate. "What is your name, Sir? And who are you?" "My name is Alexander Lupo, I''m the King of werewolves." Alexander answered her question. "Dear Mr. Lupo. Are you insane??" ****** Please add to your collection. Please vote and comments. Thank you for reading ?? Chapter 2 - Alexander Lupo, The Alpha There was an old castle in the middle of the city. This building was established in the middle of age century. And after day after day, and years after years passed. No one cares anymore. They thought it was a cultural heritage building. The castle didn''t look abandoned; although it was creepy and dark, there were no tall weeds, no moss, or cracked wall. So... who was the owner? A car with a spirit of ecstasy emblem entered the castle. A pair of tall and big iron fences opened and closed automatically. "Good evening, Lord." Jared, the butler, opened the car door for his master. "Good evening, Jared," he answered the greeting. "How was the meeting, Lord?" Jared folded the black suit in his hand. "As usual, They pushed me to find my Luna as soon as possible," he smirked in annoyance. "Oh, I agree with them." Jared followed his master step to the room. Alexander Lupo was the master of this castle. The twenty-seven-year-old man was the alpha, King of werewolves. And a successful businessman. This man was not only rich, but he was also crazy damn rich!! This man was not only strong, but he was also powerful and undefeated. Not surprisingly, he became the King of werewolves at such a young age. "What do you want to eat, Lord? I''ll tell the kitchen staff to cook for dinner." "Hmm... a ribeye steak, medium well grilling on the cherry woods smoke, only salt and pepper, and a bottle of wine," Alexander said while he took off his black shirt. The shape of the masculine line showed on that athletic body. No wonder there were a lot of women who tried to seduce him. Rich, handsome, clever, and strong. Who wouldn''t surrender to his charisma? Unfortunately, werewolves only submit to one mate. The Moon Goddess had fated their love into an unbreakable bond. . . . After taking a bath, he downed the stair to the dining room; that long marble table looked so empty. Only one person filled the seats. "Please enjoy your dinner, My Lord." Jared opened the food cover. A premium class of ribeye steak. Silver cutlery clicked at the round plate when Alexander sliced the meat. He ate in peace, so quiet, so calm. So... depressed. No other voice than a clicking sound. "You need a Luna and make a dozen of baby wolves, My Lord. so this huge castle will not be this deserted." Jared sighed long. The fifty years old man looked at his master with pathetic. "Are you really wanna die soon, huh?" Alexander glanced sharply at his Butler. "of course not, so... sorry, My Lord. I talk too much. I am just hoping for my master''s happiness," answered him. "he''s right, Alex." suddenly, a calm voice was heard. "Grandma?" Alexander was shocked by her arrival. "My Lord." Chole, Alexander''s grandma, bowed down. "no, you don''t have to! I''m your grandson." Alexander prohibited her. "You''re still my King, My Alpha, Alex." that old lady smiled warmly. She patted her grandchild on the shoulder. "*sigh*... Okay." Alexander could only sign his breath and smiled too. "What''s the matter, Granny? What urgency brought you here?" Alexander holds her to the dining chair for joining the dinner. Grandma Chole lived overseas; she went back to the castle in a hurry to warn Alexander about her vision. "I see a vision for your future, Son. You have to go to the museum tomorrow. You must wait at the statue of the first alpha in our pack." She muttered about Alexander''s prophecy. "Who, Granny? Who should I wait for?" Alexander furrowed his eyebrow in curiosity. "Your Luna." ******* Please vote Please comment Please add to your collection thanks for reading Chapter 3 - Eden Grey, The Omega There was a hierarchy in werewolves, Alpha, Beta, and Omega. Alpha was the leader of the pack. The Alpha was the Strongest one, wise, and had good leadership. After Alpha, there was Beta. Beta Was the warrior of the pack. They protected their pack and submitted to one Alpha. And the last one was Omega. The weakest, not a pureblood, usually became a maid and worked in the pack as ''slave.'' There were four-packs, Sapphire Moon pack, Amethyst Moon pack, Tourmaline Moon pack, and Emerald Moon Pack. Every pack was led by alpha, and once in five years, the four alpha would fight for the throne of King of all beasts. In the last tournament, three years ago, Alexander Lupo from Tourmaline Moon Pack was the winner even though he didn''t find his mate yet. ******* And now, the king was looking for his queen. The alpha was looking for his Luna. * * * [ ????Your world is my world And my fight is your fight My breath is your breath And your heart (is my heart) ????] Music played ''one time'' by Justine Bieber. Eden was pedaling her bike while muttering the song. Justin Bieber was her favorite singer. She always heard his song every time she threw newspapers to every house on the way to school. Yep, Eden was a hard worker girl. In the morning, she would send newspapers or milk, then went school. After school, She would ride her bike to deliver packages, work in restaurants as a waiter, become a cashier or cleaning services¡ªanything and everything that could produce money to live. "Wow, the sky is grey!! It looks like my hair and my life! So gray." She was giggling on the way to school. Eden Grey, a girl with long-wave grey hair, a pointed nose, sensual lip, and round eyes. Eden was a girl with heterochromia; she had different eye colors, blue and green. Her life looked like a Cinderella story; she needed to work hard to satisfy her mother''s and brother''s addiction. After Eden''s father passed away, their lives became harder. Her Mom went crazy, alcoholic, and grumpy, and her brother liked to play with gamble. what a poor girl; she needed to get money to cover all their life necessities. [You''re my one love My one heart My one life for sure Let me tell you one time (girl I love, girl I love you) ????] Music still played on Eden''s ears through the headset. "Ouch!" Eden''s index finger was bleeding, cut by paper. she sucked her fingers for the first aid treat. [And I''ma be your one guy You''ll be my number one girl always makin'' time for you ????] Eden looked at the morning sky, so cloudy. [ if only I could find my guy like this song. To become his number one girl, how would it feel?] Eden smiled, so warm and so sweet, but she felt so cold and bitter at the same time in her heart. Eden was an ordinary schoolgirl who lived in the big world¡ªhoping for a little bit of happiness. Could she find him? The guy who would make her his number one and only one girl?? The one guy who could share joy and happiness in Eden''s gray life? "Oh, why am I so pathetic, so weak?!!" Eden cried. ****** please add to your collection please votes please comments Thanks for reading this book ?? Chapter 4 - Rainy Day It was drizzling rain pouring down on the city. Eden had just arrived at her school. Luckily she came first before the rain got her clothes wet. Eden was busy wiping the remaining rainwater that wet her hands and faces with a tissue without realizing that a leg was deliberately stretched out to tackle her leg. BUMP! Eden fell to the floor. Her skirt lifted slightly. "Ha ha ha!" Her three classmates laughed. They were Nina, Lina, and Bianca, girls who feel superior in class and always bully weak girls like Eden. "Did you take the picture?" asked Bianca, the gang leader. "Sure, look, she''s wearing black tights like a granny." Nina showed her cellphone screen to Bianca and Lina. They then laughed at Eden''s pose. Eden clenched her fists in anger. She got up slowly and adjusted her clothes. Luckily, her habit of cycling meant she had to wear shorts that made her pantie invisible. Eden had been used to being bullied since childhood because of the different colors of her eyes. Many of her classmates thought it was a strange thing: Blue and Green, an unusual blend of two eye colors. "Hey, Poor!! Do our homework. Otherwise, we will share this photo with the entire school." Threaten them. Eden was indeed an intelligent child. She was very accomplished. If not, how could a poor girl like her go to an elite school?! "Okay," Eden replied, perfunctory. She was lazy to serve the three because it would never end. So it''s better according to them later they would get bored by themselves. Today''s lesson begins with history. Mr. Timothy said that next week the history lesson would move to the museum. They would hold a study tour and write an essay on the historical topics they were interested in. "We gather at the museum at eight in the morning. Do not be late!" Mr. Timothy closed the textbook at the end of his class. . . . At school break. The rain was falling harder. Eden saw it from the second-floor window. Incidentally, Eden''s bench was right next to the window. Break time was almost over, but Eden didn''t move from her seat at all. There was no lunch box to eat or money to eat in the canteen. So she chose to enjoy the rain. "Huft¡­ it''s raining. It sucks. I can''t work when it''s raining." Eden complained, usually she would be the delivery courier after school, but no one would want to send goods when it rained heavily. Eden was looking for other ways to make money today. What could she do? Become a waitress or cashier? But none of her friends gave permission and asked Eden to replace them. *Ting* Eden''s cell phone rang. The text was from Arley. Her neighbor friend. [Arley: Hey, E, today I''m going to sell isotonic drinks at the inter-high school basketball game. One of my friends has sprained her leg. Do you want to replace her?] "Being Seles promotion girl? It doesn''t look bad." Eden quickly replied to Arley''s text. [Eden: Sure, Arley. What''s the time? Where?] [Arley: Four o''clock in the afternoon, on your school''s indoor court, E!] "Oh, shit!!!" Eden cursed. Many children would recognize her there. But, did Eden have a choice?!! sHe didn''t even have a penny today because Vica (her Mom) and Marvell (her brother) took all the money. Not to mention, the money she should have used to pay for a study tour to the museum was also taken. Her Mom loved to drink, and her brother loved to gamble. What a truly wonderful family combination. [Arley: How? I have to report to the manager?] [Eden: Okay. Do I have a choice?] Eden replied to Arley''s message with a wry smile. [Arley : Okay, E, see you.] [Eden: Thanks, Ey.] ****** Please vote Please comments Please add to your collection Thanks for reading ?? Chapter 5 - The School Team’s Ace After school. Eden went to the indoor basketball court. She looked after Arley, her neighbor friend. Arley didn''t in there yet. Eden sat on the audience seat. She observed the school''s team warming up exercise. Her school''s basketball team was famous; they frequently won the competition. Not surprisingly, there were many children from other schools who were willing to come and see their game. At the side of the court, there was a group of girls. They were the cheerleaders, training their dance for this tournament. They shouted, cheered, and set formation while dancing. [They are excellent and gorgeous. Though annoying, I have to admit that they are good.] Eden said in her heart; she looked at Bianca, Lina, Nina. These Three girls were part of the cheerleader''s team. A few moments later, Arley patted Edens''s shoulder. "Hey, E., are you ready?" "Yeah." Eden smiled at Arley, a girl with short hair. "Okay! Please help me to arrange the bottle; the display must be good! so our product will be eye-catching, and they''ll buy." Arley came to another sales girl who looked busy with their job¡ªoffering isotonic water to the audience. Eden looked at them; the girls wore a very sexy outfit. Sportswear and hot pants with sneakers and high socks. They went around offering cold drink bottles. "Can I wait at the stall? I''m not confident wearing that clothes." Eden asked Arley. "No, E., you must go around and do the same things. This is your costume. Change your clothes, wash your face and wear some make-up! you look messy, E!" [Oh ¡­ Gosh!] Eden had no choice. She rushed to the restroom to change her uniform into a costume like the other Seles Girls. Eden felt uncomfortable with her costume, but if she wanted to make money, she must take on these clothes, go around, and sell the product to audiences. "Wow, you are cute, E. I thought it wasn''t you," Arley praised. Eden looked different with that costume and simple makeup. "Haha... don''t mock me!" Eden smiled. "Oke! now go there and sell as much as you can! bonus is calculated from how many bottles you can sell." Arley handed over a box full of bottles to Eden''s hand. "Ouch, it''s heavy!" Eden sighed. Eden went around the spectator stands to sell drinks. She had to smile and be kind, so many people would buy load on her shoulder. "Cold drink! Isotonic! Two only one buck." Eden shouted as she offered. After the cheerleader performance, the game started. Two teams came into the court, everybody yelled. All the audience cheered; they shouted to give support to their respective champion teams. Red Team from Eden''s school and Blue Team from opposing school. They stared at each other, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle signaling the start of the match. Eden also stopped walking and turned around to watch the basketball final match. Eden was not interested in the game; she was only interested in a young man running along the field while dribbling the ball. Ace, as the name implies he was the ace card of the school team. Handsome, intelligent, and excellent at anything. Eden likes Ace; she idolized him. "Hey, Miss!! I want one!" A buyer''s voice snapped Eden out of her thoughts. She was bringing the girl back to reality. "Ah¡­ yes, here. Thank you." Eden bowed her head slightly in gratitude. The match was epic. The opposing team tried to chase the score, draw. In the last seconds, Ace deftly dribbled and made a lay-up shoot. The ball got an extra score for the red team¡ªvictory for their school. "YEEEAAAHH!!" everybody screamed, happy for their victory. "Yes¡­!" Eden unconsciously joined in exclaiming joy. From a distance, Eden could see Ace''s handsome face beaming with happiness. All the friends surrounded him, raised Ace, and threw him in the air. They managed to win the match because of Ace. [ Thank God.] Eden was about to leave, when she turned around, she bumped into Bianca. "Well¡­ well¡­ look who is this?" Bianca laughed, seeing Eden in sexy clothes while walking around selling drinks. "Don''t bother me, Bianca! Let me work in peace." asked Eden. "Behold, the Poor one dares to resist." Lina pushed Eden''s shoulder. "How much it costs?? Here I buy!" "One buck for two." "Okay, we buy!!" Bianca gave bottles to her friends. They opened the bottle cap and immediately poured the water on Eden''s head. "Ugh!" Eden gasped. Eden felt cold as the liquid touched her skin. Her body curves were visible because she was wet. "Don''t be a hero, poor girl!" Bianca rebuked her. Lina and Nina laugh, they capture it in the form of photos and share it on social networks. "Hey!! What are you doing?" Ace''s voice sounded, making Eden flinch. They all turned their heads, Ace ran from the center of the court to their standing place. "Ace¡­ we¡­" Bianca was speechless. "You guys are so outrageous!" Ace took off the towel hanging from his shoulder to cover Eden''s shaking body. The three of them left Eden for fear of Ace''s sharp gaze. "Eh??" Eden was confused, did she just receive sweet treatment from Ace? "Hurry up and change clothes, you might catch a cold!" Ace turned to Eden. Eden''s tongue went numb, she could only look down when Ace left her side. [ Ouch, stupid me!! I should be thanking him.] Eden was disappointed in herself. She could only stare at Ace''s back as he walked away. Feeling inferior makes her unable to express her feelings properly. Eden covered herself with the towel that Ace gave her. Ace was really the type of ''one guy'' in her imagination when she listened to the song One Time ¡ªby Justine Beiber. Through hard and almost impossible, Eden''s heart hoped that she could be Ace''s ''one girl'' too. ******** Please vote Please comment Please add to your collection Thanks ?? Chapter 6 - Eden’s Family A slight drizzle still accompanied Eden''s steps home. The girl slowly pedaled her bicycle towards the tiny house at the end of the road. Usually, Eden felt lazy to go home. But today, Eden felt excited when she remembered the towel and Ace''s knight attitude when defending Eden this afternoon. "I have to wash it quickly," Eden said. This towel could be Eden''s reason to talk to Ace at school tomorrow. Arriving at the house, Eden was immediately greeted with shouts and curses. "Why does little girl just get home at this hour???" Vica grabbed Eden''s hair as soon as this teenager entered. "Do you want to be a harlot??" "Ouch¡­ it hurts, Mom. Let me go!" Eden begged Vica to let go of her pull. Just ten o''clock; it wasn''t midnight yet. "Where have you been, huh?" "Eden just went to work, as usual, Mom," Eden answered. "Work?? So you brought money?? Buy Me a bottle of alcohol, Sweet Girl!!" Vica''s attitude immediately changed when she found out there was money in Eden''s pocket. "No, Mom! You had been drinking a lot today. Your face is red. You must be drunk." Eden replied she saw a lot of beer cans strewn under the sofa. *SLAP!* Vica slapped Eden''s cheek. "Ignorant child! Little bitch! How dare you scold your Mom, huh?" she screamed. Eden held back tears. Isn''t this normal? Wasn''t it normal when Vica slapped her once or twice because Eden didn''t want to buy her some alcohol? "I''m sick of you, Mom!!" Eden had better run, locked herself in her room before things got worse. *BUMP!* The door is closed. Vica still didn''t give up and knocked roughly on the door. Eden just covered her ears and hoped that her Mom would get tired soon and leave. . . . After midnight, Eden sat on the edge of the bed. "Ah, my income is not much today. But at least I can pay for the study tour to the museum next week." Eden took a deep breath she hid her money inside her shoe. A safe place, her Mom and big Brother would never know. Her bad mood immediately changed when she saw Ace''s towel. Eden inhaled the scent of perfume mixed with the smell of Ace''s body that was still left behind. Eden smiled. Her mind started to fly to think about Ace. "Ace, why are you so cool?" Eden finally fell asleep while hugging Ace''s towel and making it a blanket. Unbeknownst to Eden, her older brother entered the room. He searched Eden''s wardrobe, desk, and school bag for money. [Where did she hide the money?] Marvell thought, he searched the wardrobe again, but couldn''t find any money. Marvel scratched his head, annoyed because he couldn''t find the money hidden by his sister. Marvel was Vica''s son with her first husband, so he and Eden had different fathers. Marvel had a very bad attitude, liked to gamble, race, and fight. Marvel didn''t love Eden like most of the other brothers. Eden didn''t know why? Maybe, Marvel thought Eden was the reason his mother divorced his father. Vica chose Miguel Grey as her life partner and left her first husband. At that time, Vica was already pregnant. "Where is the money?? where is this bitch hiding all her money?!" Marvel could not find it. "Argh!" Marvel kicked a chair and made Eden wake up. This twenty-five years old man looked mad. "Marvell?? what are you doing here??" Eden was shocked; she covered her body with Ace''s towel. "Money!! give me some money!!" Marvel grabbed Eden''s hand so tight until the girl moaned in pain. "Let me go!! I don''t have money!! not even a penny!!" Eden struggled. "You liar!! I know you are hiding it somewhere!" Marvel cried so harshly with his hand raised. Marvel went to slap Eden. "No... Please don''t! I don''t have money." Eden closed her eyes in fear. "Where is it??" Marvel slapped Eden several times. "Please stop it, Marvel, please, don''t hurt me!!" Eden was crying. She kicked Marvel in self-defense. Marvel stopped when Eden protected herself. He went outside, leaving Eden''s room. He was swearing in annoyance because he couldn''t get money from Eden. ******* please vote please comments please add to your collection thanks for reading ?? Chapter 7 - What A Cute Girl! Early in the morning, Eden was up for work. She had to deliver milk and also the morning newspaper before going to school. Every weekend Eden would receive her wages. Eden took the uniform from the wardrobe and hurriedly put it on. "Ugh!" Eden sighed in pain. Her arm and shoulder were bruised from Marvel''s blow last night. "It hurts so much, when will he stop torturing me?" Eden applied anti-bruising ointment. After struggling with her bruises, Eden put on her uniform and quickly went outside. Vica still lay down on the couch; she was sleeping because of alcohol. Marvel was not seen at home. Eden grabbed her bike out and paddled to the road. Eden pedaled her bicycle until she arrived in front of a grocery store. "Good morning!" Greeting Eden excited as usual. "Morning, Eden. I''ve been waiting for you." Aunt Hanun gave five boxes containing bottles of warm milk ready to be sent. "I will work hard, Aunt!" Eden clenched her fists and smiled excitedly. Time to start the day full of sweat. Eden tied the box at the back seat so the bottle didn''t fall when she hurried. "Auntie knows! Here''s the list." "Any new customer?" Eden asked when she saw an address that Eden had never known before. "Yup, new customer." Hanun gave a bottle of warm milk to Eden. "Drink; your stomach has been rumbling." "¡­" Eden was silent considering whether she would accept it or not. Actually, Eden was allergic to lactose, but her stomach was starving. "No, Thank, Aunt. I''m leaving first." Eden refused the warm milk and started to bike. "Huh... what a poor girl. I wonder why she can always be happy, although her family is broken." Hanun sighed long. . . . one by one, Eden placed the bottle in front of the door house. Eden''s hand was throbbing, it hurt so bad. Marvel''s puncture marks made her have to work much extra when lifting the box filled with milk. "Finally the last customer." After almost an hour of walking around the housing complex, Eden arrived at the final address. Aunt Hanun''s new customer. When Eden was about to put the milk bottle at the front door of the house, at that moment the door opened. A young man wearing the same uniform as Eden came out from inside. Eden was surprised; it turns out that her new customer was the idol of the entire school community, the captain of the basketball team, "Ace?" "Eden?" Ace was just as surprised. "Ee¡­ You know my name?" Eden was taken aback. She thought Ace didn''t recognize her. Wasn''t Eden famous among school students?! Not like Bianca and her gang. "Eum¡­ is that a strange thing?" asked Ace. "No, no¡­ of course not. I just¡­ ah¡­ forget it. Thank you for buying milk from our store; enjoy." Eden felt awkward, again she couldn''t talk anything to Ace. "Thanks." Ace took his milk bottle. "I have to go, I have other work to do." Eden hastened to say goodbye. "Careful. See you at school." "Ah¡­ yes," Eden replied, her face heating up. Even though it was only the word goodbye, but it immediately succeeded in making Eden''s heart jump. Eden bit her lip as she turned away. Oh... the girl still wanted to chat with Ace, but was too scared to start. Eden felt annoyed with herself for being too inferior. sHe should have gotten much closer to Ace, but her low self-esteem got in the way. [Come on, Eden. Say something, don''t just leave.] Eden thought. A few steps later, Eden turned her body back. Ace also seemed to be waiting for the girl to say something. The proof was he was still at the door. "I''m sorry, I just washed the towels this morning. I will return it tomorrow." "Okay. Are you going to school already?!" Ace wears shoes, he also wants to go to school. "Yeah, but I have to deliver the newspapers first." Eden was a little insecure; her poverty made Eden have to work hard first instead of going to school calmly like other children at her age. "I can help you, let''s go together." Ace smiled and stepped ahead of Eden to take the folding bike. Eden froze, what just happened? Did Ace ask her to go together? Was it a Dream? "Ouch!! How sick! Not a dream!!" Eden pinched her own cheek. "Come on, E!" Ace called her with a nickname, Eden blushed even more. Ace helped Eden throw the newspaper into the customers'' yards. Along the way to school, Eden pedaled a bicycle parallel to Ace. she was so happy; she had never been this happy in her life before. Eden looked at Ace, golden brown hair with an undercut, handsome face, two bright blue eyes, and thin red lips. Ace was also fairly tall and had an athletic body because he was a basketball team member. [Oh gosh, he is so cool. can I touch that handsome face?] Eden was too obsessed with him in her mind. "Is there something in my face? Why are you looking at me so intensely?" Ace looked at Eden while pedaling; his sweet smile made Eden shy. "No... nothing." Eden pedaled her bike faster; she was too shy to answer Ace''s question. Ace caught her admiring his handsome face. [What a cute girl.] Ace shook his head; Eden''s nature was too adorable for him. "Hey, wait!" Ace followed Eden. They arrived at school and parked the bike. When Eden stepped inside the gate. Eden was horrified when she saw a lot of her pictures stuck everywhere. Eden was caught selling the isotonic water at the inter hight school basketball game yesterday. She was wearing a sexy outfit while circling the arena to sell it. Eden was stunned; everybody must mock her. Poverty was a disgrace in that elite school. Eden almost cried. She didn''t bother anyone; she only needed money to live. Why did they use it to bully Eden? "What happened?" Asked Ace. ****** please vote please comment please add to your collection thanks for reading ???? Chapter 8 - The King Of Werewolves They arrived at school and parked the bike. When Eden stepped inside the gate. Eden was horrified when she saw a lot of her pictures stuck everywhere.

Eden was stunned; everybody must mock her. Poverty was a disgrace in that elite school. Eden almost cried. She didn''t bother anyone; she only needed money to live. Why did they use it to bully Eden? "What happened?" Asked Ace. Ace''s eyes rounded as he saw the pictures. Eden with her outfit yesterday and words; ''I''m bitch. I sell my virginity, wanna buy?'' ''The monster thinks she is human.'' ''Disgrace in our school!!'' ''Monster!!! Go to hell!!!'' ''Shameless monster!" Ace looked at Eden. "Hey, are you OK?" "No, I''m not OK. Why do they do it to me? I never bother them. I never do anything wrong! I think I can survive as long as I don''t intervene with someone else!! So why? Why are they still hate me? Is being poor a mistake??" Eden''s tears began to fall. "Don''t cry, E." Ace wanted to comfort Eden. "Easy to you to say it, Ace! You are famous; you''re an ace card and basketball team captain!! Everyone loves you! You never know what I feel!" Eden''s voice tone raised. "Puft..." Ace hold back his laugh. "Why are you laughing?" Eden turned left. Now they faced each other. "I never expected that you know about me that much," said Ace; Eden''s face turned red. Oh gosh... Eden''s emotion made her lips go too far. Ace helped Eden to taken down all the pictures. Ace and Eden walked through the corridor to Eden''s class. Ace studied Eden''s image at the pictures. Cute, She looked different with that sexy sporty costume. "I think it seems like they are jealous of you, E." Ace said the bullies must be jealous of Eden; yeah, of course, Eden looked so cute in that uniform. "What?? Are you kidding me? What are they jealous of a girl like me? I haven''t had anything. One thing I had just this heterochromia, because of it they call me a monster." Eden showed Ace her two different eyes colors. Blue and Green, the abnormality when she was born. Ace felt dragged into another world by those jewels, a deep blue ocean, and a fresh green forest. So wonderful, these eyes had magic. "They are beautiful." Ace praised. Eden''s face turned reddish. She was never thought that Ace would say a sweet compliment about her eyes, even though Eden always considered them a shame in her life. "Thanks." Hearing Ace''s words made Eden feel more and more admire him. ****** . . . At another place. Ethereal Mansion, Tourmaline pack. At the backyard there was a fight. Five men against one man. Their breaths were ragged with exhaustion. "Abi, you are too slow. Ben and Joe don''t get too defensive. Fio you''re in too much of a hurry. Han focus!! I see you keep shaking when you fight me! Don''t be afraid, warriors must not be afraid!! Come on, attack me again!" "Don''t be so harsh Alpha, they''re still young warriors, young wolves." Jared shouted from the edge of the garden. "Shut up, Old Man!! At their age, Alpha has already beaten the alpha from the Amethyst pack." interrupted Kairos, a supreme warrior who used to accompany Alexander and was also the coach of the young warriors of the pack. "Ouch, don''t compare them to Alpha! Alpha was already stronger when he was born! His power is a gift from Moon Goddess! They could die from the strenuous training you gave them." Jared told him. "This time, King of werewolves is alpha from Tourmaline pack. Of course our beta can''t embarrass his name!!" Kairos'' words left Jared speechless. In the middle of a large field with green grass, the youths attacked Alexander repeatedly. They compactly cast sharp claws in turn. Sadly ¡­ The alpha who was so strong and agile still easily dodged the attacks of the five young betas. Alexander''s burly body shrank, tearing one of them in the back. One fell. With agile movements, the Alpha jumps, he incised an upercut on the second beta. The attack switches with a powerful elbow to the third beta''s chest. The fourth and fifth betas were frightened, they didn''t dare to come forward. "Let''s go forward! Don''t be a loser!! You guys will recover, you werewolves!" Yelled Alexander, his gaze was so sharp and intimidating. His handsome face looks fierce. "ATTACK!!" his screams made the betas tremble even more. "If you don''t want to go, I''ll go." In the blink, Alexsander disappeared from their sight and¡­ CLASS!! The sound of tearing flesh. Alexander slashed diagonally from the shoulders to their waists with his sharp nails. Both betas fell in pain. Slowly but surely they all started to heal themselves. "Evaluate your defeat!!" Alexander left the fighting area, he didn''t even sweat. "Here, Lord." Jared gave the Alpha a kimono-style silk robe. His broad chest poked out from behind the slit of the robe. "Teach them even harder, Kai!! Maybe some betas are born weak, I can tolerate that. But I can''t tolerate if the Beta in my pack becomes a coward!!" Alexander turned to Kairos. "Yes, Alpha." Kairos bowed his head to the King, his Alpha. "Act immediately! You know that Witches are starting to cross the border and cooperate with Hunters?" "Yes, Lord. I will train them." Kairos answered politely. "No dinner for Ben and Jo! No room at Hall for a coward!!" Alexander left. "Poor kids. They are just only fifteen years old." Jared sighed and followed his master to main building. Alexander could not deny his feeling; he was afraid of war that could be happened between Werewolves and Witch that cooperate with Hunter (Human who was hunting supernatural creatures) After a century armistice was broken because of a rogue wolf named Miguel Grey. ****** please vote please comment please add to your collection thanks for reading ?? Chapter 9 - Oh... No Big Boobs!! Back to Eden, one week later. The beautiful girl returned to enjoying her gray life. Every day, Eden cleaned up all her mother''s mess at home. Empty bottles strewed about, beer cans, leftover snacks, and scattered dirty clothes. Not to mention the awful smell from the leftover stale food that Eden prepared for her. Like today, she woke up early and cleaned up all the mess. "Finish!! Oh Gosh, it''s done! I''m tired!" Eden wiped her sweaty forehead. Finally, she finished cleaning the house until it was super clean. "Time to work and go to museums!" Eden put a blanket on Vica''s body before leaving for the museum. Today Mr. Timothy, a history teacher, his class would be on a study tour to the national museum. When she was about to leave, Eden passed Marvel''s room. The young man was not there. Eden had not seen Marvel for almost a week. It''s been a week since Marvel hasn''t asked for money or hit Eden. "Marvel hasn''t been seen these few days?? Is he okay?" Eden was starting to get worried; Marvel didn''t usually disappear for up to a week. As a sister, it''s natural for Eden to be worried about him. "I''ll call him later." Eden took a deep breath. What''s wrong with this family? Why was everything so broken that it seemed like it couldn''t be fixed? When her daddy died, everything changed. The once cheerful family was now completely torn apart. . . . Eden pedaled her bicycle to the grocery store to pick up a box filled with milk bottles. "Good morning, Auntie. I''m in a hurry, so I have to finish my job quickly." Eden took the customer list and fastened the box on the back seat. "Be careful, E!" Hanun shouted as Eden pedaled her bicycle again, complete with five boxes full of warm milk. "Okay!!" shouted Eden to answer. Eden circled the housing complex to distribute milk, lastly was Ace''s house. Eden looked forward to it the most because every morning, she could see her idol''s handsome face. After the bullying incident, Eden and Ace grew closer. Eden, even more, admired Ace''s attitude, who openly defended her in front of many people at school. Ace was not afraid to be ostracized. Eden now had the support and protection from all basketball team members. "Hey, E. Want to go to school together?" Ace asked. "Sorry, Ace. I have a trip to the museum, a history lesson." "Well, that must be fun. Have you had breakfast? Want to drink milk? My parents left today, so there are two bottles left. There''s still ten minutes before school." Ace handed Eden a bottle of milk. Eden hesitantly accepted it. She was lactose intolerant but still wanted to be with Ace. "Enjoy while it''s still warm!" Ace opened the lid for Eden; gosh, in this situation, how could Eden refuse?? "Thanks." Eden received the milk from Ace''s hand and started to enjoy it. The two of them sat on Ace''s front porch. Chatting, Eden occasionally laughs at Ace''s jokes. Ace was a fun type of guy, an easy-going person. Eden felt comfortable around Ace. Sometimes Eden was afraid to interpret her feelings. How could a perfect man like Ace like an abnormal girl like her? Did Ace has the same feeling as her? "I must go! Thanks for the milk." Eden said goodbye. She finished the milk before leaving Ace. Ace could only smile. He shook his hand until Eden was gone from his sight. ****** . . . In another place. Alexander prepared to go to the museum to fulfill his grandma''s vision. Alexander would find his mate at the first alpha statue. "I pray you''ll meet a beautiful and strong woman as your mate. That woman will bear a dozen children for you, Alpha." Jared chattered while fixing Alexander''s tie. "Don''t talk too much, Jared," said Alexander. He had to meet his mate at the museum quickly. If the grandmother''s prediction were correct, Alexander would meet his soulmate today. "I''m too happy, after all these years, you finally met your mate!! I guess you are also impatient, right, Alpha?? Your strength will increase when you put your mark on her. And you will be so thirsty... so desire... for¡­ ahem¡­ sex!" Jared whispered in his last sentence. "Why are you the one who thinks so, pervert??" Alexander''s face warmed. "How can I not? You are still a virgin. You even reject all the unmated she-wolf each time the breeding season occurs. You must be very restrained¡­ or¡­ is it maybe???" Jared shut his mouth in disbelief. He had never seen a wolf have sexual problems. "I am not impotent!!" "I''m grateful!! it''s so pitying for the Lupo family if they don''t have a successor." Jared smiled. He headed to the walk-in closet to choose a watch. Dozens of watches from various leading brands were neatly lined up. Jared took one of them and rushed back to his Master. "Please, Alpha. Gold watch for good luck. Good luck." Jared patted his black Armani suit, so there wasn''t a speck of dust. Alexander just shook his head. He wanted to find a mate; why was Jared so enthusiastic??! Well ¡­ Jared had taken care of Alexander since he was little. Even when his father and mother died, Jared was always beside Alexander to take care of him. Jared also taught Alexander to be an actual wolf. For Alexander, Jared was not only a beta of his pack; he was family. "Prepare the car, Jared." "Yes, Lord." Alexander smiled; Jared was right. he needed a mate for a strong descendant to continue the Lupo Family bloodline. Alexander became curious. How strong is his mate? And how beautiful is she? With wide steps, Alexander entered the museum area. Some staff and security recognized Alexander because the man was often sponsored the museum. Alexander headed to the statue of the wolf, at halfway there. Footsteps echoed loudly throughout the room, a girl in a uniform dashing after her school study group. For some reason, The girl stopped in front of the wolf statue. "Is it possible??" Alexander''s brow furrowed deeply. She''s not a woman; she''s a teenage girl!!! She was wearing a high school uniform. The image of a sexy and seductive woman in Alexander''s mind was scattered. [Oh... No big boobs!!!] ****** Please vote Please comment Please add to your collection Thanks for reading ?? Chapter 10 - Are You Squeezing My Ass? No big boobs, or wide hips, or firm, round, and full butts. The image of an adult woman who was so sensual and seductive was dispersed when Alexander saw a girl in a high school uniform standing in front of the statue of the first Alpha. Alexander still approached the little girl. Who knows, she was not his mate. Who knows! As they got closer, at that moment the girl ran again and ... Bump!! Her tiny body bumped into Alexander''s chest. So hard until her nose looked red. Wow, that must be hurt! "Ouch! My nose! Why so hard!! Did I hit a rock?" she said in annoyance. [ what a seductive aroma, is she really my mate?] Alexander looked at her flatly. The strong scent tickled the alpha''s nose. "Hey!!" Her tone raised. The girl looked up to see the man. Their eyes met, locked each other. What a tense quiet situation. The girl felt her tongue become numb. She could not speak because Alexander''s aura was too dark, stiff, cold, and heavy. Well, he was considering whether this little girl was really his mate. [Let me smell her one more time!] Alexander bowed slightly to inhale a sweet phenomenon that tickled his nose. It came from The girl''s neck, the scent of white lily flower mixed in sweet vanilla. So seductive... so attractive... and so intoxicated. "So... you''re my Luna?" Asked the man as he grabbed her chin. He looked deeply into her eyes; those beautiful irises were too dazzling. "Luna?" She was confused by his words. "I''m an Alpha, and Luna was the mention of my mate," said Alexander to explain to her. "WHAT???" She screamed in disbelief. They had never met before, suddenly Alexander came and told that She was his mate. "What is your name, sir? And who are you?" "My name is Alexander Lupo, and I''m the King of werewolves," Alexander answered her question. [Werewolves?? King? Alpha? Ah¡­ maybe this guy has gone mad. Too bad, even though he''s handsome, but his brain is insane.] she thought, annoyed. "Dear Mr. Lupo. Are you insane??" she Asked while twisting her index finger near her temple. "Insane??? What did you say, Baby girl?? I''m insane???" Alexander was shocked. For the first time in his life, someone dared to call him crazy. "Yeah, there are no werewolves in this world, Mister! They are just fairy tales that parents create to scare children." [Why doesn''t this girl understand the existence of her kind??] Alexander grew suspicious. "What''s your name, baby girl? From which pack?" "Pack?? Wow... I told you I''m not a werewolf. My name is Eden Grey. And I am a HUMAN! so¡­ I''m not a wolfy, what else is your mate!" [Human?] Alexander''s forehead furrowed in thought. Was it possible?? Could this girl not be his mate? They''re not mate? But why was her smell so strong? Making Alexander''s whole body rustled with desire. He was even more thirsty with desire and lust than when the breeding season occurred. Oh¡­ Alexander really could go crazy when he thought of himself being rejected by this little girl. "Why are you silent??" Now Eden was curious. Alexander remained silent as if he was thinking of a way to prove that Eden was really his mate. [Ah, what crazy, I have to get away from him and find my entourage.] Eden thought she had to avoid the trouble in front of her eyes. Eden stepped, but Alexander''s strong hand held her. "No one could leave after calling me insane, Baby Girl!!" Alexander smirked. "Huh??" Eden was surprised when Alexander''s sturdy hands lifted her body with ease. Alexander carried Eden''s tiny body on his shoulders. "Let me go!! Hey!! Let go!! Where are you going to take me, Sir?!! Let go!!" Eden thrashed on Alexander''s shoulders. "Shut up! Just come along, Baby Girl!" Alexander smacked Eden''s ass to keep her quiet. "What!! Are you squeezing my ass?? What a pervert madman! I complained to the police station!!" Eden slapped Alexander''s back, but her palm hurt. "Stop it! Your slap is like a caress to me! your hand must be in pain." Alexander continues to carry Eden out of the museum. he didn''t care with everybody eyes, which curiously looked at them. "Help!!" Eden shouted. "If you''re still screaming I''ll not only smack your ass but I''ll stuff your mouth with my tongue, Baby Girl! So shut up, your voice hurts my ears!" Alexander threatened Eden. Eden covered her mouth with her palms. Eden''s face turned red with embarrassment. "Let me go, Mr Lupo! We can have a good talk! I won''t report you to the police station." "Just report it, I don''t care." "I''m on a study tour, my teacher and friends must be waiting for me." "My secretary will take care of it. Your permit will definitely come out soon." "Huh?? How can you get his permission? you are not my parents?" "Soon, I will be your husband. That means I will be your guardian in every way." "Hah?? You are crazy!! who wants to marry and be your wife??" Eden struggled again. "We''re mate! And mate has an unbreakable bond!" "Let me go!!! Crazy!! Crazy!! Crazy!! Pervert!! Wet Doggo!!" "Shut up, Baby Girl! You''re the crazy one for rejecting me! I am a king and alpha!" "Not for me!" Alexander was furious, all werewolves bowed to him, why not this girl?? His mate was not submissive and not bound to him. Wasn''t this very strange?? Eden was certainly not human considering how strong her sweat glands produce the sweet pheromones. Oh¡­ Alexander really wanted to lick Eden''s neck and enjoy every drop of that sweet sweat. Unfortunately, Eden''s strict refusal proves that their relationship was far from affectionate, let alone mate. "Let me go, You wet dog!!" ****** Please add to your collection. Please vote Please comment. Thank you for reading ?? Chapter 11 - Get Off Me, You Wet Dog!!! Eden''s face grew paler when Alexander threw her into the car. "Go!" Alexander ordered the driver. "Okay, Alpha." Eden panicked as the car started to run towards nowhere. Did this man seriously want to kidnap her? From all her viewpoints, what he said made no sense to her. There were no werewolves in this world. They were just fairy tales. "Where are you taking me?!" Eden screamed with all her might. "To the tourmaline pack," Alexander replied. Eden was furious. Her eyeballs rolled, sigh... about werewolves again?! "Actually, who are you, Uncle? Are you guys acting for a prank show on TV?" "Earlier you called me ''insane'' now you call me ''uncle''!! What an annoying girl!! Why did I meet you instead of an adult sexy woman with big boobs?!" Eden immediately crossed her arms in front of her breasts when she heard Alexander''s words and the way he looked at her chest. "You pervert!" "Go... swear at me as you please, Baby Girl! But remember, I will repay you if it turns out that you are not my mate!" "Hah?? Mate again!! Can you not talk about the supernatural that only exists in a novel and movies?" "Tsk! Werewolves are real!! we are real!" "I couldn''t believe it until I saw it with my own eyes." Eden mocked Alexander''s words. "Sigh¡­ well¡­ if you want to see it." The Alpha took a deep breath before pulling out sharp claws and showing all five to Eden. Eden''s eyes widened, her face was pale white, and cold sweat trickled from her forehead. Alexander''s nails were long, sharp, and looking dangerous. Eden shook her head slowly. She was terrified until the girl¡­ "Hey!! Don''t faint!!" cried Alexander. Eden fainted. ******** . . . "Hello, Little Bunny. What are you doing?" a man approached little Eden, who was busy playing sand in the playground. "I make sandcastle where the prince and princess live happily," Eden answered while her hand was still busy with the sand. "That sweet, E." "Do you think true love exists, Dad?" "Of course, Sweet Heart. You''ll find him someday. The man who loves you without doubt, unconditionally, and spellbound with every inch of yours until he goes drunk in love. You''ll find him, or he will find you as his mate." "When?" "Daddy doesn''t know, E. But you''ll recognize him by his smell." He smiled. "Now, Daddy has a more important thing to say to you." "Hmm?" "Daddy has a present. Taaaraa...!" Eden''s father opened his palm, a necklace with a thin red stone like a coin as a pendant. "WOW!!" Eden looked delightful. "Do you like it?" "Yes, it''s beauty." "Never take off this pendant, Eden! Never!!" he warned Eden. "Eh... why?" asked Eden, but she was still too young to understand her father''s words. "This pendant will help you live among the human. Hide your power, hide your identity as a..." . . . Eden''s dream about her past vanished. She hadn''t even heard the last words from her father''s mouth. The faint aroma of orange combined with sea salt and amber stone made Eden wake up. The fragrance was so intoxicating, pleasurable, and enticing all her senses. The aroma was like nicotine, making her addicted. It made Eden want to inhale more and more. Her eyes were still closed while Eden''s Nose continued to approach, looking for the direction of the source of the scent. She was unconscious until the tip of her nose stuck against a hard chest full of muscles. There, the smell was so strong, Eden rubbed her face against the owner''s body with affection so that she could inhale as much as she wanted. [ smell so good¡­] Eden thought, slowly starting to wake up. Eden blinked slowly. But¡­ that pleasant smell disappeared as soon as Eden opened her eyes. Eden''s eyes opened perfectly when she saw Alexander smirking. Eden''s face turned pale. What did she do?? Did she just rub her face on this pervert''s chest?? Snuggled? How Embarrassing!! "Oh¡­ a pervert girl is looking for a chance to touch my body." Alexander giggled. From the start, Alexander lay beside Eden, who had fallen asleep due to fainting. He was Observing Eden''s beautiful face. Unexpectedly, Eden cuddled at him --who was wearing a kimono-style sleeping robe. Of course, Eden''s face was in direct contact with Alexander''s chest muscles from the slit of the robe. "You pervert!" Eden stuttered, her face warm. "Pervert shouts pervert. Hmm... Naughty Baby Girl." Alexander pinched Eden''s chin and made Eden couldn''t help but look at his face. Their gazes met again. Alexander looked at Eden with two black beads that were so bold; there was a glint in both of his eyes. He wanted to tease Eden. Eden''s eyes moved to another corner, avoiding the bold black eyes. Eden had to admit, and those eyes were very attractive, so beautiful, as beautiful as a star-studded night. Full of sparkle, full of passion. They were inviting Eden to drown in the sea of ??desire. That dazzling eyes made Eden forget, that this man was a wolf. "So... how do we start our relationship??" "What??" "How do I find out the proofs that you are my Luna?" Didn''t know since when Alexander''s sturdy body had been above Eden''s body. The Alpha held himself with his arms so that his body wouldn''t press Eden''s tiny body. "I told you I''m not a werewolf, not even your mate!!!" shouted Eden in annoyance. "Shall we try kissing first?" Alexander ignored Eden''s words and kept his face close to Eden''s. The girl immediately widened her eyes in fear. But could not move because Alexander locked her hands above her head. "Get off me, you, Wet Dog!!" Eden shook her head, afraid that Alexander would land a kiss on her lips. [Tsk! This wild rabbit is hard to tame!] Alexander chuckled in his heart. Didn''t Eden know that Alexander''s lust was so high when she rubbed his chest earlier?? She must take responsibility for it. Alexander stroked her arm, stopped at Eden''s fingers, and gripped them. Eden felt a strong and tough hand. Somehow Eden felt safe when Alexander held her hand. "Are you really not a werewolf?" Alexander Asked her again. ****** please vote please comment please add to your collection thanks for reading this novel ?? Chapter 12 - Let Me Go!! Alexander looked at Eden''s face, which was red with embarrassment. His gaze stopped at Eden''s two green and blue eyes. Beautiful eyes. Somehow, Alexander loves that glance very much. [How can I prove that she is really my mate??] Alexander couldn''t take it anymore. He wanted to touch and mark Eden as his own. Eden''s scent was too seductive, making Alexander''s lust peak at the highest level. Alexander stroked her arm, stopped at Eden''s fingers, and gripped them. Eden felt a powerful and very tough hand. Somehow Eden felt safe when Alexander held her hand. Eden didn''t move; Alexander kissed her wrist. The fragrance of white lilies mixed with the vanilla sweetness. Alexander inhaled deeply the scent that made his strength seem to overflow. Alexander''s lips that touched Eden''s wrist made the girl''s whole body tingle softly. As if electrocuted by low voltage. "Are you not a werewolf?" asked Alexander once again. He licked Eden''s wrist lightly. The girl closed her eyes while biting her lip. Alexander pulled out his fangs and bit Eden''s wrist. He just wanted to prove that Eden was a wolf, not a human. "Ouch!" Eden grimaced in pain as Alexander''s sharp fangs pierced her skin. Fresh blood tasted. The aroma pierced his sensitive sense of smell. "It hurts. What did you do to me?" Eden tried to pull her injured hand away. Blood was still flowing, not immediately healed. Of course, Alexander slipped from above Eden''s body. He was confused. Werewolves will heal themselves, even if they were mixed blood. But Eden, she didn''t heal at all. [SHe''s even weaker than the omega in my pack!] Alexander frowned in disbelief. And this girl was his mate. [Crazy! Did this pervert bite me?] Eden thought when she saw the wound. She still felt a stinging sensation in her wrist. Even though the wound wasn''t deep but the small tear was quite sore, and the blood kept dripping out. "You bit me?? Why bite me??!! Fucking wet dog!" Eden got up from the bed. Alexander was still frozen when Eden pressed her wrist to stop the bleeding. "The werewolf will heal itself," Alexander muttered. His gaze was blank. Eden wasn''t lying. That girl was a human, but why did Eden''s scent appeal to his beast instincts? "How many times do I have to tell you?? I am a human!!" Eden grumbled. She picked up her bag from the floor. "I go!!" Alexander grabbed Eden''s elbow before she managed to leave the room. "Treat the wound first. I will call the doctor." Alexander ordered forcefully. Eden pursed her lips. Alexander hurt Eden and was now determined to offer kindness. Late!! You freak! "Let go of me, O Lord of wolves! Don''t try to see me again!! If you dare, I will spread it to all neighbors throughout this country if you are a werewolf!" Eden threatened. Her fear about werewolves suddenly disappeared, replaced with anger. [Shit! How long will she reject me?? Even though I''m pretty sure she''s my mate!] Alexander looked at her with eyes filled with anger. That gaze made Eden shudder in horror. [I have to get out of here quickly. If I misspoke, he could eat me. I don''t want to die being eaten by werewolves and end up being poo in the asshole.] Eden pushed Alexander''s hand away and ran out of his room. Had to die and end up being poo?! It''s not elite! LOCKED!!! SHIT!! There''s nothing even more worse than being stuck with a werewolf in the same room¡ªa lewd and grumpy wolf. Eden banged on the door, still trying to force the big wooden door open even though it was impossible. Eden wasn''t superhuman, nor was she a werewolf like Alexander. Alexander continued to approach, Eden could see the tall and stout handsome man was standing right behind her. Eden swallowed again, she was looking for anything to protect herself, unfortunely, there was only her school bag as a weapon. "Do not come close!!" Eden was scared, she put the bag in front of her chest as a form of self-defense. If he got any closer, Eden would definitely hit him with this bag without mercy. Alexander saw the wound on Eden''s wrist which was still bleeding. Alexander was worried, he really regretted biting Eden. Alexander never thought that Eden could not heal herself, she was human. "Treat your wound first! Please don''t move too much just yet, your blood keeps pouring out." Alexander felt like a fool; why was he pleading for human safety?? This had never happened before! His pride seemed to fall freely to the ground. Eden managed to subdue Alexander''s arrogance, making this stiff and cold man plead with her. Even though he hated her so much, Alexander couldn''t deny his feelings that were so worried about Eden''s safety. Mate or not, Alexander had been fascinated by this girl''s pheromones. "Let me go!!" Eden shouted frantically. Alexander was getting worried. "Fine¡­ fine¡­ I''ll let you go! Don''t move too much! Your blood keeps dripping." Alexander looked at Eden''s wrist, afraid the wound would widen. "Quickly open the door!!!" cried Eden again. "I will let you go, as long as you want to calm down and obey to be treated!" Alexander gave a long snort, he kept his distance from Eden by moving backward slowly. Eden started to calm down, she lowered her bag and sat back down on the edge of the bed. Alexander called Jared to call the doctor. Eden looked around, then she realized that the room was very spacious, very luxurious, really like the rooms belonging to the royal family in historical films that she had seen on TV. [He must be very rich.] Eden thought. "Fast!! Tell him to come here quickly!" Alexander snapped into his cell phone. Eden jumped in surprise at the loud voice just now. "Okay, Alpha." Jared replied. after Finished the call, Alexander sat in front of Eden. Eden turned to the side, reluctant to look back. Still annoyed. Alexander restrained himself from touching Eden''s wrist. It felt like he wanted to lick the wound until it healed, too bad the girl didn''t even want to see Alexander''s face. "Keep your promise, Wet Dog! You will let me out of here once the doctor treats my wound!" "Why in such a hurry, you can eat first. I''ll take you home later." Alexander offered. "No!" Deny Eden outright. [You sure want to make me fat before eating me?!! Tck¡­ I won''t be fooled by your sweet attitude!] Eden thought. Alexander''s thick eyebrows furrowed at Eden''s refusal. [Tck, who knows her boobs is small due to lack of nutrition, she must eat a lot to grow up quickly!] thought Alexander. "I have to get out of here, Mr. Lupo! I have to go to work. It''s late, I could be late." Eden got up, she realized that it was three o''clock in the afternoon. "But the doctor hasn''t come yet." Alexander rose to his feet. "It''s just a small wound, I can endure it." the bruises she got from Marvel last week Even more painful. "Just a small wound?? How many wounds have you had before?" Alexander held Eden''s shoulder questioningly. "ouch!! You hurt me!" ***** please add to your collection please vote please comment thanks for reading this book Chapter 13 - Are You Stupid, Mr. Lupo? It''s three o''clock in the afternoon, how could time fly so fast?! Even though it felt like Eden had just finished delivering milk to all the houses in her housing complex. Then go to the museum. She had only come to a few objects before her stomach ached so damn bad because of lactose. Eden also never thought that her bickering with Alexander would waste her precious time so quickly. 15.00 noon ¡­! Eden had to go to her work, deliver things with her old bicycle. Now she even had to pick up her bicycle to the museum first because of Alexander''s act ¡ªwhich was forcibly kidnapping her. Then ¡­ Only because of a small wound, he held Eden longer at his room. "But the doctor hasn''t come yet." Alexander rose to his feet. "It''s just a small wound, I can endure it." the bruises she got from Marvel last week even more painful. "Just a small wound??" Alexander wider his eye. "How many wounds have you had before?" Alexander held Eden''s shoulder questioningly. "Ouch!! You hurt me!" Eden yelled in pain. "Let me see!" Alexander forced to take off her uniform, Eden defended her clothes from Alexander''s tug, but Alexander''s strength was far greater than her. Alexander easily undressed Eden, showing off her upper body. Some bruises that look faded, making Alexander stunned. Those bluish-blue wounds were in some spots; there were even old scars. The widest was in the upper arms. Alexander stroked slowly as if he felt the pain too. "what are you doing??" Eden quickly put her clothes back. But Alexander ignored her; he wanted to know the more important thing about that wound. "who did it to you??" yelled Alexander, "I definitely will kill them right now!" Alexander''s face hardened when he saw all the wounds on Eden''s body. [Who dares to hurt my girl?] Marvel and her Mom, yes, they did it every day, slap, punch, grab her hair, even throw something at the girl. But how could Eden tell Alexander that her family harmed her? "let me go, Mr. Lupo! Please!! I need this job!" Eden once again begged. No time to discuss her broken family; if Eden were late for work, of course, she''d not get any penny at all. That means slap, hit, and yell every day from mom and Marvel. "Why do you need to work, Baby Girl??" Alexander blocked the door, didn''t let Eden get out. "Are you stupid?? Of course, to make money." cried Eden with anger; everybody knew that we needed to work if we wished money. Growl...!!! How dare she call the King of beast ''STUPID''?? [Calm, Alex. Take a deep breath and let it go! she just a teenager human, she doesn''t know who you really are.] "Insane, stupid, and pervert wet dog!" Muttered Eden softly. But Alexander''s sensitive ear could hear Eden''s aside. "Don''t tell me stupid! You are the stupider for neglecting yourself!!" Alexander tried not to be harsh, but Eden really made him mad. "Hellooo¡­ Dear Mr. Lupo! We are different, I need money to eat, pay school bills, and everyday needs! Different from you who have a lot of money. So¡­ even if I was sick I would still go to work. Do you understand??" "Then I''ll give you some money, stop working." Alexander couldn''t lose Eden, his wolf instinct didn''t allow Eden to go. "On what purpose are you giving me money?? We even just met. We have no relationship, Mr. Lupo." Eden adjusted her clothes, the two buttons were undone. "You¡­ um¡­ well¡­ let''s just say that you are really my mate." "So??? Do You want to buy me with your money?? Do You think I''m a sugar baby?? Sorry, I''m not interested in much older man." Eden pushed the sturdy body in front of her to get out of her way. But Alexander did not budge one bit. "Move!!" Eden asked louder. "No. You stay here until the doctor comes, Baby Girl!" "Oh, come on! This can be categorized as a crime, assault, kidnapping, coercion, sexual violence, up to ****! I won''t report you to the police. As long as you let me go home and allow me to go to work!" Eden begged with puppy eyes, still persuading Alexander to let her go. Alexander couldn''t see Eden''s cute and miserable face at him. he finally had no other choice but to let the girl go from before him. "sigh... up to you." Alexander opened the door with his fingerprint. the door opened after a clicking sound. Eden''s face looked happier, she quickly left Lupo Family mansion. Jared -who was eavesdropping- was stunned in the fort of the door. "Tell Maxi to follow her, Jared. Tell him to find out everything about her. Everything!!! And I want his report every one hour." Alexander told the butler to send a Beta to dig everything about Eden''s life. "Yes, my Lord," Jared answered. "I want to know, who dare to hurt my Baby Girl?!" Alexander looked Eden went away from a second-floor window. ****** Hai, Bellecious thanks for reading my novel. I hope you like the story between Alpha and Omega. ???? Chapter 14 - Orange, Sea Salt, And Amber Stone "Sorry I''m late." Eden parked her bicycle in front of a freight forwarder. A small agency that delivers goods within the city. Eden used to work from three to seven in the evening. Sending some goods and sometime food. Because only freelance employees. Eden''s wages depended on the number of items she managed to send. "No need to talk much and hurry go to work. There''s a lot of stuff piled up!" Mr. Firza was the owner of this small agency, a man of West Asian descent. His head was bald, only his beard was still quite thick. "Okay, Baba!" All the employees called him Baba, so Eden also called him by the same name. (Baba means father.) Eden stepped into the warehouse. Picked up some items that she could deliver on her bicycle. Eden couldn''t possibly deliver goods that were far away with just an old bicycle, unfortunately because she arrived late, many goods with a short distance direction had been delivered by other couriers. "Arrgh, Damn! It''s all because I met that pervert wolf." Eden grumbled while arranging the things on the basket. If only she didn''t have to be stuck with Alexander, maybe Eden would get the money without having to work harder. Eden tried to lift the basket onto the back seat of her bicycle. Her wrist was full of band-aids. "Ugh¡­ it hurts!" Eden groaned as her hand throbbed in pain. Alexander''s bite marks and bruises on her shoulder from Marvel''s punches made it difficult for Eden to load things up. "Are you okay?" Suddenly a familiar voice made Eden turn her head. "Ace?" Eden was shocked; why was Ace here? Ace smiled, he could guess Eden''s thoughts. "I was on my way home after basketball training and saw you here. I just wanted to say hello." Ace rushed to help Eden tie the basket to the bike. "Oh I see." Eden nodded. "What''s wrong with your hand?" Ace saw Eden''s hand was wrapped in some band-aids. "Oh, this, eeum¡­" Eden scratched her head, confused about how to explain to Ace. Eden can''t say that a werewolf just bit her; Ace might think Eden was crazy like Eden thinks Alexander was crazy. "Let me see!" Ace pulled Eden''s hand, looking at the wound. But as fast as Lightning Eden hides Alexander''s two bite marks. Fear Ace suspicious. "I''m fine." Eden replied. "It looks really sick, why don''t you just rest at home?" Ace gave up, maybe it wasn''t the time for him to urge Eden to tell him all about her life. They''ve only been friends for the past few days. "It doesn''t hurt too much, it''s just that the basket was too heavy." Eden smiled; she led her bicycle to the front. "I can help you." "Do not!! I don''t want to bother you, Ace. You must be tired after playing basketball. You also still have to study for the exam??!" "Huft... you''re rejecting me again." "Sorry." "Is there nothing else but sorry? You say that a lot." "Sorry." "Hey¡­." "Ah¡­ sorry, habit. Eh¡­" Eden covered her mouth to say sorry again. "It''s fine if you don''t need my help. But don''t push yourself too hard, E. You also seem to need a break." Ace stroked the top of Eden''s head, making Eden''s face turn red; who wouldn''t be happy when she was treated sweetly by the man she loves??! "Don''t underestimate me, Ace. I am a strong woman!" Eden giggled, well¡­ Eden was indeed strong, for some reason even though she was so tired that it seemed as if her bones were crushed, Eden always managed to get through it well. She was really a hard working girl. "Okay, take care of yourself, E. I''ll go first." Ace smiled and left Eden with a heavy heart. "You too, Ace." . . . After the two of them separated, Eden pedaled her bicycle to the address listed on each item. Even though she was tired, Eden still delivered the items one by one without complaining. Over time, one basket of goods ran out of nothing. "Just one more. Spirit!!" Eden exclaimed to herself. At six o''clock in the evening, Eden''s stomach began to rumble. Eden decided to rest. sHe sat on a park bench and drank a bottle of mineral water and ate a chocolate sandwich before delivering the last package. "Oh off." The band-aid peel off, Eden looked at the marks of the two holes from the bite of Alexander''s fangs. It was remembered in Eden''s mind when Alexander''s handsome face approached her, with the man''s tongue licking Eden''s wrist before biting it. Eden didn''t know whether to shudder or feel good. "Forget it!! Forget that pervert man''s face! I can''t deal with that wet dog anymore." Eden shook her head to dispel the image of Alexander''s handsome face as he licked Eden''s wrist. The image that kept repeating in Eden''s mind made the girl go crazy, her stomach ticklish. "But what was that smell? Very intoxicated smell. Is that his perfume smell? Oh, no, no way. It smells different. Ah¡­ I want to inhale that smell again. Where did I get that smell from??" Eden felt very addicted to the enchanting aroma like nicotine, produced by the pheromones on Alexander''s body when she was unconscious. Eden glanced at the two holes in her wrist again. Eden slowly smelled her wrist; there was the same faint scent. Eden closed her eyes, trying to take a deep breath. Alexander''s scent was gtting thicker out of her scar. Orange, sea salt, and amber stone. Once again, Eden was drowning in pleasure. "Hmm¡­ how strange." Eden frowned and inhaled again; the smell dispelled, "Eh¡­ Will I turn into a werewolf if I get bitten too??" Eden''s face paled at the thought that she would become a wolf. Living with a body full of fur and sharp nails. "Ah no!! Impossible!! Forget it!! Forget it!! I''d rather go to work instead of daydreaming and going crazy because of that guy." Eden got up and pedaled her bicycle to deliver the last package. Eden stopped right in front of the intended address. A luxurious house, Eden was amazed, but after remembering how big and spacious Alexander''s mansion was, the house in front of her now become meaningless. Ting Tong!! Eden rang the doorbell. "From the freight forwarder." "Come in!!" A girl''s voice answered before the door opened. Eden was surprised when she saw the owner of the house, and vice versa. "Bianca?" "Eden??" ******* Chapter 15 - Unluckiest Girl "Bianca?" Eden was surprised when she saw the girl who always bullied her - when the door was opened. "Eden?" Bianca was no less surprised. The two girls stared at each other for a moment. From the look in her eyes, Eden knew that Bianca would make fun of her and make trouble with her. It had been a long time since Bianca hadn''t bothered Eden, it had been a long time since Ace had always been hanging around Eden. "I''m here to deliver a package." Eden said her purpose. Because she wanted to end her job immediately and leave Bianca''s sight, Eden spoke to the point. "Ah, my package! I''ve been waiting for it ever since. Why so late?!" Bianca grumbled. "It''s not too late, we took it according to procedure. Isn''t it already written, within the city, the maximum delivery time was eight o''clock at night? It''s only seven o''clock!" Eden showed the watch in her hand, it was still seven o''clock in the evening. "Why are you so rude to customer?!" Bianca was annoyed when she heard that. Eden took a deep breath to keep calm; she felt wanna clawing at Bianca''s beautiful face right now. Unfortunately, Eden was only a part-time worker; she would lose her job if the customer reported to her boss. [I''d better not deal anything with her.] Thought Eden. "Okay I''m sorry, have you received the package?! Please sign this." Eden handed over the receipt of the package. But Bianca ignored her. [It''s not that easy to leave after yelling at me, you monster!] Bianca didn''t let Eden go quietly. After all these few days she was very upset because all the attention was on Eden because of Ace. Ace was always the center of attention and channeled on Eden. "I''ll check the package, in case something''s missing." Bianca refuses to sign. "Don''t act Bianca. The seal isn''t broken." Eden raised her tone again. "You could have resealed it; it''s just duct tape!" Bianca shrugged. "Bianca!!" cried Eden. "Come on, E! You wouldn''t be that angry if you didn''t steal something." "Okay, open it!!" Eden said curtly. Bianca was busy opening the box in front of Eden. She quickly tore off the wrapping of the item she bought from the online shop. Some hair ornaments. Bianca scrambled to hide one in her back pocket. "One is missing! I bought five hair clips and there are only four! You must have taken one of my hairpins, right??" Accused Bianca. "Impossible! I didn''t take anything. Never mind taking, I didn''t even open it!!" Eden screamed; she felt right, so she could not accept Bianca''s accusation; Eden denied it with all her might. "Here is the proof, I opened it right before your eyes!!" Bianca smiled slyly. Looked like this girl really seriously hates Eden. Didn''t know what made Bianca hate Eden? was it like what Ace said? Bianca was jealous of her? Eden was beautiful even though her eye color was different. Many men stole glances at Eden in middle school, and snatched all the light spots for Bianca. Until one day, Eden fell into poverty because of her father''s death. She was no longer the center of attention in high school because she often daydreams in class or goes to work as soon as class ends. And the first reason why was she jealous of Eden? Because Bianca loved Ace too; who didn''t? Ace was too charming to resist. And now Eden stole her place. "Bianca!!" "I''ll call your boss!" Bianca pulled out her cell phone and called the courier service where Eden worked. "No!! I''m not guilty! I didn''t steal your things. Why do you keep accusing me?" Eden was so angry to hear Bianca''s words. Eden tried to snatch Bianca''s cell phone, but the annoying girl pushed Eden. BUMP! Eden tumbled backwards. Her ass landed perfectly on the hard surface of the paved ground. Meanwhile, the hand that was bitten by Alexander was getting hurt while holding her own body weight so her head didn''t bump. "Ouch¡­ it hurts." Eden complained, it looked like she had sprained her wrist. Bianca smirked, she was happy to see Eden in pain. Bianca did not help Eden and instead contacted Baba Firza and explained the problem. Bianca accuses Eden of stealing her belonging. "Anyway, I don''t want to know! You have to fire her right now! Or I will report your expedition services to the police." Bianca shouted on her phone. "Please don''t report, Miss! I can lose my business. Okay... Okay... I''ll fire her." "Good!" Bianca turned off her call. Eden glared in disbelief, Bianca was truly a heartless cruel girl. She had just made Eden lose her job. Didn''t Bianca know that Eden needs this job?? Not many companies were willing to accept working minors. Let alone a part-time working employee. "Evil bastard!! You vicious woman!" Eden shouted while trying to get up. "Shut up your mouth, and get out of my house! You creepy monsters!!" Bianca smiled crookedly and immediately closed the gate so hard until it made a bang. "Sob¡­" Eden felt very angry and annoyed. She thought she was being mistreated, but her inability made her couldn''t reciprocate. Eden walked over to her bike. It looked like all her hard work today went in vain. Eden could not possibly expect a big salary when she was threatened with being fired once she arrived at Firza''s agent post. "Ach¡­ my hand hurts so bad." Eden held back her red and swollen hand. How could she hold her bicycle handlebars while pedaling with an injured hand?? "Why isn''t anything going well today?? Why is my life so unlucky today!!" Eden regretted her fate. Not only stomachache, but she also had to meet Alexander, a strange man who claimed to be a werewolf and wanted to make Eden his mate. The man even injured Eden. Her suffering did not end there. At the top of her unlucky day, her classmate Bianca got her fired and sprained her wrist. Tired ¡­ Hungry ¡­ And ¡­. Mad ¡­ Eden felt like the most unlucky girl in the world. didn''t know if her bad luck would continue or there was a big luck behind her bad luck today?? ******** Thanks for reading this novel please love it please vote please comment and please add to your collection ?? Chapter 16 - What’s Alpha Doing? Eden sat in front of a twenty-four hours convenience store. There was a bottle of water and a cup of instant noodles in front of her¡ªsuper spicy chicken soup flavor. While waiting for the noodles to cook. Eden put medicine on her wrist. So her hand wouldn''t get swollen. Even though it was bad luck, at least only her left hand was injured. There was still a right hand that she could use to do many things. [Damn! Twelve dollars for three hours'' wages and one injury hand??? Seriously?!] She cursed when she saw lineup money sheets on the table. "Damn you cheap!" Eden re-entered the salary that she received today from Mr. Firza into the school bag. Well¡­ Eden was indeed fired, and her salary was used to compensate for the lost items. Even though Eden was absolutely sure the item was not lost. Bianca must have done something sly. "Fortunately, there is still money from Aunt Hanun and a newspaper delivery for this week." Eden decided not to be discouraged. At least, She could pay the electric bill first with that money. The savory aroma of instant noodles evaporated when Eden opened the lid. Just three minutes of brewing to make it cooked. Eden stirs the noodles to mix with the gravy and seasonings perfectly. Eden devoured it quickly. However, tears came down when she took a slurp of the noodles. "Oh, what happens to me?? Why am I this weak?" Eden wiped her tears and went back to eating even though Eden had decided not to be discouraged. Eden pretends to be tough, [ these tears must be just the effect of the spicy noodle taste.] But, no matter how much she pretended, the tears still fell. She couldn''t lie to her heart. Eden felt so tired of her pathetic life. "Oh, I missed you, Dad. Why did you leave so soon??" Eden took a deep breath and put the noodles on the table. Eden looked up. The sky studded with stars greeted her. [Did you become one of those stars??] If that''s true, did her father see Eden in trouble right now?? Suddenly a star fell, Eden was shocked. She immediately froze. Was the shooting star her father? "Wish!! Right!! I can make a wish!" Eden quickly closed her eyes and prayed. "I asked Dad to come back, um¡­ that can''t happen. Daddy is dead. Alright¡­ I change my wish. I want someone who can replace father!" Eden closed her eyes, pleading for a shooting star. Eden smiled. At least this childish thing could make her smile when her heart felt so bitter. "I''d better go home." Eden finished her meal and returned home. She needed to rest her whole body tonight. ******** . . . As usual, Eden returned home with a trepidation feeling that her mom would hurt her if she knew Eden didn''t come home with a bottle of alcohol. Eden only earned a few dollars today, and she hadn''t found a new job. How could Eden give all the money to her mother to get drunk while there were still many daily needs in their lives that must be met? The water and electricity bills were two months in arrears. "Mom?" Eden enters the house, no one answers. Quiet ¡­ "Where''s Mommy?" Eden looked confused. No one was home. And the house was still as tidy as when Eden left it for the museum this morning. After a few moments of searching, "No one home." Eden was so tired to think, she let go of her bag and threw it on the bed. She immediately closed the bedroom door. "Ah¡­!" She screamed in pain as she closed the door with her left hand. "Aw¡­ the swelling is getting bigger." Eden tried to move her hands so they wouldn''t stiffen. Because her hands hurt, Eden slowly took off all her clothes and went into the bathroom to clean herself. Eden splashed her body with warm water. A necklace with a red pendant swayed as she washed her skin with soap. The only legacy from her father so that Eden would never let go of. "Ah, it hurts," Eden groaned as she washed her wrists. There were bite wounds plus bruising. Seeing the two holes, Eden thought of Alexander. Once again, the image of his handsome face played mischievously in Eden''s mind. "Argh!! Irritating!! Hush¡­ hush¡­ get out of my mind, you wet dog!" Eden chased away the dancing image of Alexander in her mind. [By the way, what is that pervert wet dog doing right now??] Wow!! Wait!! Why did Eden even think about it?? . . . So what was the King doing right now?? [This is how a woman should be! Big boobs, tight ass, and explicit body curves. Wide hips that can fit many children.] It turns out he was admiring the face and body of a sexy woman on the cover of a fashion magazine. Alexander tried to compare Eden''s body with the model''s body. "Would you like me to invite Miss Selena here? Won''t there be a party invitation the day after tomorrow for you, Lord?" Jared pointed to a picture of a model in the magazine. It seems Jared understands the alpha''s annoyance; instead of finding a beautiful adult wolf mate, he gets a wild little rabbit that is very fierce. "Selena must be busy lately." Alexander refused, even though Selena was his childhood friend, but there was no reason for Alexander to interfere with her life. They were both adults; both had their own busy lives. "No one will dare disobey your orders, My Lord," Jared answered. Alexander needs a perfect woman at tomorrow''s party. A big party from a company colleague. "Hmm¡­ is Maxi back yet? Why didn''t he report again??" Alexander changed the subject, wanting to know the latest news from his little bunny. "I''ll call him, Lord." Jared took a step back. "No need to call me, Jared. I am here for my king." Maxi came and entered Alexander''s study. He bowed to the alpha before reporting everything. "What did you get, Max?" asked Alexander to the point. "Miss Eden was fired from her job as a delivery courier because her client accused her of stealing," reported Maxi. "Good!! So I don''t have to go through the trouble of getting the agent to fire her." Alexander chuckled softly. Maxi and Jared looked at each other. The alpha had a minor mental disorder. "Then?? anything else?" asked Alexander again. "Because of that client, Miss Eden sprained her wrist!" Reported Maxi. "What are you saying??" Alexander pounded the table until it shattered; the table was split in two, the two betas immediately flinched in surprise. "Spraining and swelling." Maxi was scared when he reported. He never thought his Alpha would be this angry just because of a human. "Damn it!! I will kill that human!! Tell me, who dares to hurt my woman?!" "Her name is Bianca, Miss Eden''s classmate." "Telling Jack to take care of it! Make sure she doesn''t want to live and hard wish to die." Alexander clenched his fists. He asked Maxi to see his secretary. "And you, Jared! Prevent everyone from giving her work! she can''t work anymore!!" Alexander exclaimed; Eden''s hand hurt; the girl had to rest. "Whatever your orders, Alpha." Jared complied. "If she needs money, she can work only for me! Keep following her, Maxi. Report everything. I still have to know who made her suffer!! I will repay them all." "Yes, My Lord!" Maxi nodded in understanding. "And, do one more thing, Jared! Call Selena!" "Eh??" ****** Thanks for reading this novel ?? Please Support Eden and Alexander''s Love by voting on this novel and adding it to your collection ?? Give me support on the comment page ?? I Love you, Bellecious ?? Chapter 17 - Ace, The White Wizard Jared was confused, Alexander had said he didn''t want to call Selena, but now he''s actually calling the famous artist and model to return to the pack. "Eh? Calling Miss Selena?" "Yup, ask her to accompany me to the party the day after tomorrow." Alexander got up. It seemed he already had a plan to win over his grumpy rabbit. "Very well, My Lord." Nothing could Jared say except ''yes.'' "Ah¡­ I have to see My Baby Girl." Alexander got up from his chair. "I''ll drive myself, Jared." "Very Well, Alpha. I will ask the driver to prepare the car." Jared dismissed. . . . At the same time, In Eden''s house. [ By the way, what is that pervert wet dog doing right now??] Wow!! Wait!! Why did Eden even think about it?? She should have nothing to deal with that Pervert Doggo! "But do werewolves exist?? Hmm¡­ Surely he''s just lying!! Huft¡­ right, the sharp nails must be just fake nails, like the special makeup effect in the movies. There are no werewolves in this world!!" Eden was still trying to deny that she had just a relationship with a supernatural creature. "Oh¡­ Stop it, E! Stop thinking about him!!" Eden warned herself not to be trapped in Alexander''s shadow. "I hope I never see him again." Eden had just finished taking a shower. She went back into the room. What a surprise when she saw all the contents of her bag had been scattered outside. "No!!" Eden rushed to check it out. "Damn it!!! Shit!! Just a moment, and all the money is gone!!" Eden bit her lower lip in annoyance. Salaries from sending milk and newspapers every morning and wages for sending goods today vanished because Eden was careless. She didn''t lock her room or hide the money in a safe area. Who was stole her money? Marvell? Or her mom?? Eden rushed out of the room. She was shouting to call Marvel''s name or her mom. "Mom?? Marvell??" There''s no one in the house. Eden had to leave. She was strolling the deserted streets because it was getting late at night. With only a t-shirt and long training pants, Eden scoured the sidewalks around the neighborhood where she lived to look for the thief. Nothing, Marvel or Vica, was nowhere to be found. Eden stopped, her sweat profusely, and her breath hitched. Eden crouched in exhaustion. "Argh!! Damn it!! How should I pay for water and electricity??" Eden grabbed her hair in annoyance. "E?" A hand patted Eden''s back until it made her cringe. "Ace?" Eden was surprised; why was Ace here?? And why could this young man always be there when Eden was in¡­ trouble?? "Why are you squatting here??" asked Ace, confused, looking at Eden and her paled face. "I¡­ I¡­" Eden stammered. "Hey, what''s wrong with your hand?" Ace looked shocked when he saw Eden''s wrist swelled up. "Ow, I accidentally fell off my bike and sprained it." Eden got up she hid her hands behind her body. "It looks so bad. You should go to the hospital." Invite Ace. His face looks worried. [What¡­ Hospital?? I don''t even have money to pay for electricity and water, let alone medical treatment.] Eden thought sadly; she had just lost all her money, whether it was her mom or her big brother. "I''m okay. It''s just a minor injury. By the way, why are you here??" Eden walked with Ace back to her house. "Oh, I missed you," Ace replied, and the man laughed. "No kidding, Ace!" Eden''s face warmed. "Dad told me to buy beer." Ace showed a bag containing several cans of beer and snacks. "Oh, I see." Eden bit her lower lip when Ace was joking and teasing her. "Hmm¡­ what if what I said is true, E? What if it turns out that I really miss you?" Ace smiled at Eden, making Eden''s heart jump happily in its place. The number one guy in her life should be a normal, a human, an average person like Ace. Not a supernatural creature like Alexander. Woah¡­ one more time, Eden thought about Alexander to compare him to Ace. "So?" "Are you kidding again?" Eden couldn''t admit that she was pleased if it happened. "Hahaha¡­ do I look like I''m joking?" Ace laughed. Eden laughed too. "Yeah, you do." They walked side by side across the paved pavement while chatting lightly. Ace drove Eden back to her house. "See you tomorrow. Don''t forget to put some ointment on your wrist." "Yeah, see you, Ace." Eden nodded obediently. Ace smiled and stroked Eden''s head before turning to leave. Eden waited for Ace''s back to disappear while Ace occasionally turned to look at Eden. Ace disappeared behind a bend in the road. Meanwhile, Eden returned to his house. "How is it, Mr. Ace??" A man in a black hooded robe approached Ace. "I''m not sure, King. she was injured but not healing her self." Ace answered. He saw Eden was injured. If the girl were a she-wolf, she would definitely heal herself. They could regenerate damaged cells quickly. "But the color of her eyes¡­" "Many humans have the same eye color as Eden." Ace took a deep breath, and heterochromia could occur in one hundred and fifty thousand births. Maybe Eden wasn''t the werewolf they were looking for. "I hear that Alexander is looking for his mate," reported King. "Gather Queen and Jack, King. We''re going to arrange a wizard''s meeting. Alexander started to prepare his troops too; we need to stop him before he is more robust." Ace gave orders to the black-hooded man. "Very well, my lord." The man disappeared into the darkness. Ace turned into a white hood robe man; he cast a short spell, the bag and beer in his hand turned into dry leaves and disappeared into the night wind, and so did he. ****** hmm... Ace?!!! Thanks for reading this novel. Please vote Please leave comments Please add to your collection Follow my IG @dee.meliana Love you Bellecious ???? Chapter 18 - W … What Happened?? A single painkiller pill was enough to relieve the pain in Eden''s wrist temporarily. The girl chose to sleep. She had to go back to work even harder tomorrow, or the water and electricity in their house would go out. Eden fell asleep quickly. Her tiny body was too tired today. It was midnight when everyone was fast asleep in their beds. Alexander was still awake, and he stood in front of Eden''s house for more than an hour. The tall, stocky body leaned against his black sports car. Cigarette smoke billowed from Alexander''s mouth every time he exhaled. "Looks like she''s asleep." Alexander put out the cigarette flame and started to walk into Eden''s tiny house. For a tough werewolf like him, what''s the point of opening the locking door when he can jump onto the veranda so easily and so quickly. Eden''s breathing sounds regular, her eyes closed. Alexander glanced at this girl, so cute. Alexander''s face stiffened when his gaze fell on Eden''s wrist. "Tsk, it''s so swollen, and she can''t heal herself!! Why is she so weak??" Alexander looked at Eden''s wrist, which had turned from red to slightly blue from the bruises. It was so upset that Alexander''s heart throbbed. "If only you were a werewolf, I could share my soul, and you''d be instantly healed." Alexander took Eden''s hand and kissed it tenderly. It''s annoying, strange, this afternoon Alexander hoped that Eden was not his mate. However, no matter how much Alexander denies his feelings, he wants to be with Eden even more. He wants to have this girl even more. Eden''s scent made Alexander wish to make love to her, twisting their souls in one unbreakable bond. Marked the girl with a possession mark, only his. Alexander inhaled the intoxicating aroma of white lilac and sweet vanilla blending into one. It''s lovely; there was a slight fresh smell; it looks like the smell of orange peel from Eden''s bath soap. "Her hands are so tiny. Will they break if I grip them too tightly?" Alexander inhaled Eden''s scent from her wrist. Feel how much different sizes of them. Alexander took a deep breath, and his heart ached because he couldn''t protect Eden openly. He should have just endured the girl in his mansion this afternoon. If necessary, he just imprisoned the girl in the dungeon to not get hurt. His heart shouldn''t be weak because of Eden''s miserable gaze that resembles a puppy. Now, Alexander could only regret it. "You''ll see tomorrow; I''ll make you part of my life, Baby Girl! I will always make you by my side. Either way, even if it means I have to lock you up forever." Alexander promised while stroking Eden''s gray hair. "I''ll be your one guy, and you will be my number one Girl." Alexander stroked her hair and down to cheeks and then her chin, until finally gently brushing Eden''s tiny lips with his thumb. "These little lips like to swear at me, huh?! It looks like I have to teach these little lips a lesson!" Alexander smirked before landing a short peck on Eden''s lips. The alpha took the opportunity to grab his luna''s first kiss. Eden frowned softly. The intoxicating aroma from Alexander''s lips made her slightly awake. "Hmm¡­ this scent again?" she muttered, Eden''s eyes blinking slowly. When her eyes opened, it was just darkness. There was no one beside her. "Hmm??" Eden just mumbled briefly and fell back asleep. From behind the window, Alexander rubbed his lips. What a short kiss that was so sweet. ******** . . . Good morning! Yes, the sun came to the horizon''s surface. The warm summer sun gave Eden a new spirit. Eden descended the stairs leading down. Quiet¡­ no one. Vica and Marvel still didn''t come home last night. "Where are them?" Eden was confused. Even though she was annoying, Vica was still his mother, and even though she was tired -with her behavior- sometimes, Eden still loved her. Eden tried to calm down, and there was no way Vica could survive without alcohol. The woman must be home. Now there were far more crucial things that Eden must think about. What''s that?? Of course, she work and earn money, how can she make money when her wrist is swollen?? If Eden couldn''t earn money, she would have to give up her water and electricity for being revoked by the government. "Cheer up. This is not the time to complain." Eden rolled her wrist slowly; it still hurts but is not as swollen as last night; Eden could hold it. Yeah, she definitely can. "This bite wound is so visible. Do I need to bandage it with a cloth?" Eden decided to cover up Alexander''s bite wound, not wanting to raise questions from many people, especially her classmates and Ace. "Let''s go!" Eden took the bike. With only one hand, she steered her bicycle. Eden arrived in front of aunt Hanun''s shop. With a cheerful face, Eden met the shop owner. As usual, Eden would deliver milk around the housing complex. "Sorry, Eden." Aunt Hanun came out with a gloomy face. "What''s the wrong, Aunty?" "Sorry, I can''t give you a job anymore. The building owner said if I gave you a job, they would kick me out of here." Hanun arranged her wares. She really couldn''t look at Eden''s face, which must have been so disappointed. "But, Aunt?" Eden tried to bargain. "Sorry, E. You''re a diligent, honest, and kind girl; you could get a job elsewhere." Hanun entered her shop, avoiding Eden''s whimpers. Eden stood stiff, suddenly Hanun fired her. Did that mean Eden won''t get a penny today?? So... what about electricity and water?? No, she could get money. There was still a newspaper delivery service. Eden could still earn money from delivering newspapers. Eden quickly pedaled her bicycle to the newsagent, where she usually picks up newspapers. Unfortunately, as soon as she arrived in front of the shop. Eden once again had to experience the harsh reality in life. The shop closed ¡­ just in overnight, the newsagent where she worked had closed. "W¡­ what happened??" Eden could only stare in confusion. ******* please give me love Please vote please comment please add to your collection Chapter 19 - I Can Give You A Job "W¡­ what happened??" Eden could only stare in confusion. Eden walked limply back to the bike, She didn''t know what happened to her. As she knew and felt, she didn''t do anything terrible. So why In just one night did she lose all her jobs? "What should I do? How do I pay my electricity and water bills?" Eden pushed the bike while lost in thought. From a distance, a luxury car approached. Eden turned her head because the car was walking alongside her. Eden was all indifferent, but the car did not leave and continued to follow her. Finally, Eden stopped; she put on a super annoyed face. [Who is it??] As Eden thought about that question, the car window fell down. Alexander''s handsome face that looked satisfied was grinning at Eden. Of course, that grin looked annoying to Eden, who was having the worst morning of her life. Lost all jobs at the same time. "Shit, why out of so many humans did I have to meet him this morning¡­!" Eden said quietly. "Hello, Baby Girl." Greeted Alexander. Eden remained indifferent and walked back to school. "Hey, I''m talking to you!" Alexander was a little annoyed that the little rabbit ignored him. "Hey¡­ hello?!! Are your ears deaf?" Alexander asked while flicking his fingers. [I feel like hitting that handsome face with my bag. Too bad I don''t have time for it. Patience¡­ patience¡­ better stay away from him, he''s crazy.] Eden thought, her tiny lips pursed into a pout. Eden stepped faster on the pavement while Alexander''s car picked up speed so as not to be left behind. "Why do you look annoyed, huh?" Alexander asked again, even though he knew that Eden had just lost all her jobs. Yes, of course he knew, it was Alexander who got Eden fired by Hanun, and bought the bookstore for the daily newsagent where Eden worked. "None of your business!" Eden snapped. "Wow, wow¡­ how fierce! How about you leave your old bike and come in here." Alexander patted the sofa beside him. Alexander''s driver stifled a laugh, the alpha wasn''t usually so talkative and pushy. "Tch, who wants in a car with you. Go on, don''t bother me. I have to go to school." Eden kicked Alexander out. Alexander took a deep breath, apparently taming a wild rabbit was not that easy. What else was a kind of rabbit that likes to grumble and be fierce. Alexander had no other choice but to offer Eden a job. "Do you need a job?" asked Alexander, Eden stopped. "Hey!! Could it be you are the one who made me lose all my jobs?" Eden turned and glared fiercely at Alexander. Alexander smirked, Eden immediately snorted. [What an annoying man!!! Crazy!! Damn, he is Abusing his power!!] Well, but there''s nothing Eden could do. It''s useless to be angry, it''s a waste of time and energy because her enemies were crazy rich man who claimed hisself was a werewolf, tsk, even the leaders of the werewolves. A King!! "I can give you a job. with high wages, no need to worry anymore about your daily needs." Alexander smiled as sweetly as he could, still trying to persuade the girl patiently. He took out a business card. But Eden brushed it off. "Job?? Be your sugar baby?? No, thanks." Eden got on her bicycle and left Alexander to go to school. "Crazy pervert man!" Eden had cursed and raised her middle finger at the alpha. The form of annoyance on an unlucky morning. "Hahaha, you naughty little rabbit. Just watch, I will definitely tame you!" Alexander chuckled at Eden''s behavior. The girl openly challenged the king. "How''s Alpha?" asked the driver, "do I need to chase Miss Eden??" "No, back to the mansion. One day she''ll be looking for me herself." Alexander stared at Eden''s back until she disappeared from his sight. ****** . . . At school. Eden stepped into her class, she sat on a bench near the window and started to open her cellphone. Her fingers kept scrolling the phone screen to find a part-time job that she could do after school ended. "Hmm¡­ flower shop, must understand about flowers. A bakery, must understand how to make bread." Eden took a deep breath, she didn''t have the skills needed. When Eden was busy looking for work. Bianca goes to class with her gang. They stroked Bianca''s back, trying to calm her down. Bianca''s face was as messed up as if she had been crying all night long. [Why? she didn''t usually cry.] Eden took a quick glance, then tried to focus on her cellphone again. "Sob¡­ sob¡­ My father''s company went bankrupt overnight. My father was detained at the police station because he was sued by investors who felt cheated." Bianca Sobbed while talking. "How could that be???" "That''s scary, Bianca. Wow, we''re so sorry." all Bianca''s friend''s faces looked sad. [Tch, they''re just playing an act.] Eden thought, those rich girls love to be two-faced. It''s good at front, but maybe they talk bad about each other behind their back. "So you''re really poor now, right?" asked the other two friends. Bianca looked up, her confused face pale. Poverty was a disgrace to Elite schools. And Bianca had lost her fortune now. "A¡­ are we friends?!" Bianca rose from her seat. "I can''t believe you can follow our lifestyle again. You''ve even lost all the house and its contents. Sorry, Bianca, no room for poor in our group." They mocked Bianca. "Damn it, did you guys just throw me up?? Who used to defend you and make you a famous girl in school. I... All of you are famous because of me!" Bianca screamed. "Shut up!! Who do you think you are now?" Pushed Bianca''s body so that she fell backward. "Ouch!" Bianca winced in pain. [See...] Eden shrugged. Eden just looked at the incident with a straight face, it seems that the girls who feel superior now have other prey to bully. Yeah, but that''s really weird. Why suddenly in one night Bianca fell into poverty?? Wasn''t she still mocking Eden last night and making her lose her job? Who was so powerful that he could destroy Bianca''s family instantly. [Is it possible?? No¡­ no way.] Eden thought about Alexander. Was Alexander''s power so great that he could make Bianca suffer until want to die? But, what was Alexander''s motive for doing it?? Eden took a deep breath. The downfall of Bianca''s family was none of her business. She still had important things to do. What else if not looking for a job. When Eden was about to open her cellphone again, suddenly a text came in. [Arley: There is a job to be a waitress at a famous company party. The salary is quite much. Can you? Tomorrow at five o''clock.] [Eden: Of course I can!!!] Eden was so happy. At least there is a job to repay the bill. Eden didn''t expect that Alexander would be there too. ******* Please vote with power stones Please comments Please add to your collection Thanks for reading my book. ?? Chapter 20 - Why Have I Always Thought Of Him Lately??? After school. Eden was walking down the corridor when Ace appeared beside her. The man was still wearing a basketball uniform, complete with a face full of sweat. "Hey, E." "Ace??" Eden''s eyes widened. Surprised to see Ace. "What about your hands?" Ace asked. He deliberately stopped training to find out Eden''s condition. "Better," Eden replied, showing a bruise on her left hand that started to get better but was still red. Thanks to Alexander, if Eden continues to work hard this morning, didn''t know what will happen to her hands. It was possible that the muscle would tear from the force, and the girl would be permanently disabled. [she still hasn''t healed herself. Maybe it''s true that she''s human.] Ace glanced at the wound that was wrapped in the makeshift bandage. [Should I help her?] Ace thought. "Why daydreaming??" Eden asked when Ace was just silent, without realizing they had arrived at the school''s main door. Eden looked at Ace, their eyes accidentally locked. The faces of the two of them are too close, stunning Ace with the charm of both Eden''s eyes. Ace''s face warmed, a blush appeared. His heart was racing fast. didn''t know how many hundred years since Ace didn''t feel that flutter. "Ace??" Eden called him again. "Ah¡­ sorry, I''m just tired, right, maybe I''m just tired." Ace smiled at Eden. He took Eden''s left hand and held it. Eden felt strange. Why did Ace suddenly hold her hands?? If it wasn''t for Eden''s hand, which was numb from swelling, perhaps Eden could feel the warmth of Ace''s body temperature through every touch of his skin. Ace still held Eden''s hand, making the girl even more embarrassed. Ace slowly recited an incantation: a simple healing spell, not a complete cure, just a speedy recovery and less pain. "Sorry, I''m used to holding my sister''s hand." Ace lied, all his family was just a fantasy, all stories were made up by Ace so he could live mingle with humans and enter Eden''s life. Ace had been eyeing Eden since high school. Ace had been interested in the mysterious figure of Eden for a long time. "You have a sister?" Eden just didn''t believe it. "Yup, little sister, maybe she would be your age if she were alive. I''m sorry, I suddenly told you sad story." Ace let go Edens hand. "Eh?? she was dead??" "When I was little." "I''m so sorry, Ace." "It doesn''t matter." They arrived at the parking area. Ace helped to pull Eden''s bike out because Eden''s hand hurts. "Where are you going after school?" asked Ace again. "Find a job. Huff¡­ I got fired by aunt hanun, so I have to find another part time job." "You''re not delivering milk anymore? No wonder I didn''t see you this morning." Ace said. "Well, I''m actually a bit disappointed that you weren''t the one who brought it." Ace''s words made Eden embarrassed. "are You waiting for me?" "Yup." "No kidding Ace." Eden patted Ace and he just laughed. "Alright, I have to get back to training! I hope you get a job soon. And don''t push yourself too much, E." Ace pushed Eden''s bike into the street. Eden laughed. "keep spirit for your training!! See you soon, Ace!! wish me luck!" Eden was happy to say goodbye. "See you later, E." Ace waved. His handsome face was blown by the warm wind. seeing the bright sight of Eden''s face made the memories of his past rolled again, its so painful. "If only you were her." Ace smiled flat. . . . Eden pedaled her bicycle out of the school complex. In the middle of the road she accidentally looked at the park beside the school building. A quiet place that had never been touched by teachers, where naughty children act. There, Lina, Nina, and several girls from another class surrounded Bianca. They were bullying Bianca. "None of my business." Eden continued to pedal her bicycle. They did not even hesitate to slap, hit, and even cut Bianca''s hair. They were all getting more and more wild bullying Bianca because she kept fighting back. They even took off Bianca''s skirt and took pictures of her panties as a guarantee that Bianca kept her mouth shut. The same thing as Bianca always did at Eden in the past. "Karma is real." Eden shrugged and left the school compound. Even though she felt sorry, Eden had no reason or strength to save Bianca. Eden pedaled her bicycle to several convenience stores, cake shops, and coffee shops. Who knows she might apply for the job. But apparently, applying for the job was not as easy as Eden thought. All rejected Eden for various reasons. Eden was tired and thirsty. She had to quench her thirst. All day long, she was busy looking for a job. Now, It was five o''clock, but the sun was still shining brightly. "Sigh!! So hot!" she complained. After drinking water from the tap, Eden rests on a park bench, the sunshine in summer creates a warm atmosphere. Unbeknownst to Eden, Alexander had indeed closed all access so that Eden would not get a job. With his money and power, he threatened all the shop owners around Eden''s school and housing estate. "Luckily, Arley contacted me. at least tomorrow, I can get some money." Eden leaned back on the bench, enjoying the warm breeze in the shade of the shady tree. She felt much better. "Hey, the swelling is gone." Eden just realized that her wound was getting better. It wasn''t completely healed yet, but the hand that had been swollen had now shrunk drastically. Eden could quickly move and rotate her joints. All because Ace gave her a simple healing spell. "No more pain, Oh God, thank you! Tomorrow I can work well." Eden smiled happily. Alexander''s bite began to close. Eden remembers the annoying man who suddenly appeared and distracted her every day. [Has he really made Bianca poor? But ¡­ What''s the reason??] "Ck, How fishy! He is also got me fired. And maybe he''s also blocked me from getting a new job! Arg, why I have always thought of him lately???" Eden scratched her grey wave hair roughly when considering Alexander''s salty behavior. "Tch, he is lying. How could he be a werewolf?? Look at this, I wasn''t poisoned and turned into a Wolf when he bit me?! Those hooves and fangs must be fake." Eden said Alexander was a liar. She was still trying to deny reality. Yet how could she turn into a wolf if she was a wolf herself?! "Oh, I better go home. Who knows Mom will be home already." Eden got up and started pedaling the bike. "Oh, I hope they do not turn my electricity tonight! I have an exam tomorrow." she smiled bitterly. ******** Thanks for reading this novel. I hope you like it and please vote with power stone and share your comments. ???? and don''t forget to add this to your collection Chapter 21 - Pull And Stretch Method. The moon shone brightly, fully round. Alexander looked at the moon from his study window. "What is she doing tonight?" Alexander put his left hand in his trouser pocket while his right hand gently roulette the liquor glass. The ice cubes rattled softly. "Wow, look who missed me?!" Suddenly, a woman''s voice made Alexander turn his head, stopping his thoughts. A woman entered Alexander''s study room; she was stunning, walking sensually with black tights mini dress on her high heels shoes. Her long-wave hair swung as she walked. Her red wine lip pulled to make a smile. "Who misses you?" Alexander coldly answered her. "Tsk, cold and rude as usual." The woman stepped into Alexander''s side. She immediately stroked Alexander''s back, which looked so sturdy because his white shirt was tightly attached. "Get your hands off me, Selena," said Alexander. "Sexy as always, untouchable as usual. Even though there is a woman as beautiful as me beside you, look, I even showed you my cleavage, Alex. Looks at them. Every man in this country is willing to pay for touch it." Selena squeezed her boobs. Still... Alexander just watched her flatly. "Oh¡­ Are you a normal guy??" Selena chuckled. Even as a teenager, she had teased Alexander, but to no avail. Even during the mating season, Alexander remained unmoved by her beauty. If they hadn''t grown up together since childhood, Alexander would have been angry with her naughty behavior. "Touch?" "No." Alexander stared coldly at Selena''s plump breasts as if that precious asset had no meaning. "Oh, come on!! Don''t be too cold and stiff! At least before each of us got a mate, we should try to have sex one time! When else I can make love to a King?!!" Selena lifted her long wavy curls hair to show off her slender neck. She was still teasing Alexander. "I''ve met my mate, Selena; that''s why I called you back to the pack," Alexander replied, his childhood friend''s teasing with shocking news. "Really???" Selena''s eyes widened in disbelief. Alexander nodded and took another sip of his drink. "So?? Where is she?" she asked. "Long story, Selena." Alexander scratched his forehead with his index finger. He didn''t know where to start. "Tell me, Alex." Selena jumped to sit on Alexander''s desk. Ready to listen. "..." Alexander kept silent. "Oh, come on! I''m waiting for your story, my Lord! Why do you want me to come home? What is the connection between your mate and me?" Selena asked curiously. "Well, the point is ¡­ I want you to teach me how to win a woman''s heart." Alexander''s face turned red when he asked that. One thing in the world that he couldn''t understand. Selena was stunned for a moment before laughing out loud. "Hahaha ¡­ what do you need to win your mate''s heart?? I mean ¡­ you''re a mate. No need to seduce each other, right?" That''s right, they were mates, meaning to be together in a fated bond. Once they met each other, they could not be separated. Affection, passion, lust, and desire would surround them, full fill their soul with overflowing strength. Alexander knew that, but... why did Eden not feel the same way? "She is different. sHe keeps rejecting me. She even dared to point her middle finger at me." Alexander remembered what happened this morning. "Wait! So ¡­ you mean, she is rejecting you as her mate?" Selena didn''t understand. How could? "Yeah, this girl is very fierce, arrogant, unspeakable, and likes to swear. she was like a biting rabbit." "Once again, wait!! A girl??? How old she is?" Selena cut Alexander''s story. "High school uniform, maybe seventeen." "Puft ¡­ hahaha!! Oh, Moon Goddess. Alex, you really make me die in amusement." Selena couldn''t hold her laugh. She went back crazy in laugh. "Oh, my stomach ache, haha..." She has a tight stomach. "Damn it, Selena! Stop it!! You don''t help me with your laugh!" Alexander looked embarrassed. "Oke Oke ¡­ let me take my deep breath to calm ¡­ hahaha ¡­ I can stop laughing! Oh Gosh! It''s too funny. My alpha gets his karma." Selena giggled. The alpha rejected all the girls in his pack, and now he''s rejected by his own mate. "Selena!!! Fokus!! I need your help! You knew the news that the Wizards come back to hunt us. If I don''t find my mate, I can not release my true power!" Alexander''s words shut up Selena. "Well ¡­ Okay, let me conclude. So ¡­ your mate is a seventeen years old girl who is rejecting you as her mate. The question now is Why?? Why is she rejecting you, Alex?" "Eden believes She is human, but ¡­ I''m pretty sure she is not; she is a wolf." "An omega? Quarter blood?" "I don''t know. She can not heal herself, weaker than an omega. She can not smell my scent, can not feel the same pounding when we''re near. But ¡­ her scent is very intoxicating to me as if it is calling me to seduce her. Mark her, own her to be my only mine." "Hmm ¡­ strange." Selena nodded. "I know. So that, I need your help to win her heart. I want to know why? Who is this girl." Alexander told Selena why he was calling her back. "Okay, I had a plan. Maybe we can use the pull and stretch method." "Huh??" "Made her feel your presence in her side, and after that, you disappear. She will feel something is missing. She will remember you, curious, and then looking for you." Selena winked one eye. "Can it work? She is a stubborn girl." "Believe me, my Lord. Every woman is the same. We are love to be loved. We are love to be the center of someone''s attention. We Love to be treated special." Selena got up from the desk. "I think she is already thinking about me," Alexander smirked. ******** Yes, Alex is true. ???????? Eden is already under Alexander''s charm! Chapter 22 - I’m Not Seduce You, Mr. Lupo The next day, after school ends. Alexander''s thought was proper; Eden always thought of him. Like now ¡­ "That wet doggo piss me off!!" Eden grumbled on the way home. Eden was rejected by every shop, cafe, and restaurant because of Alexander. She clenched her hand and hit the air, acting like she was do boxing. "I''ll punch his handsome face if we meet." "Than punch me!" Suddenly a manly voice made Eden shrug in startled. Alexander stood behind Eden. This guy had been following Eden from the school to ensure that no one gave her a job. "You!!" Eden pointed at Alexander. "Hello, Baby Girl... are you thinking about me?" Alexander smiled, making Eden''s face so irritated. "Who?? Who is thinking about you? Don''t flatter yourself, Mr.Lupo?" Eden snorted to this guy. Alexander walked side by side with Eden. They walked on the sidewalk. Everybody that passed by was looking at Alexander, this handsome man always catches attention everywhere he goes. Some women whispered to each other, praising Alexander''s appearance. Eden stole a glance at him, tall, attractive, and burly. Perfect posture in a slim-fit black shirt. He rolled the long sleevee up to the elbow, showing the firm hand. "Why you here, Mr. Lupo? Why do you keep following me?" Eden wondered, everything in her life become change when she met this man. "Just make sure my Queen doesn''t get a job," Alexander said honestly. Eden''s faces turn red cos of anger. This man truly made Eden can''t find a job. What was he thinking? Doesn''t he know that Eden must produce money to live? "Hey!! That''s cruel! And I''m not your queen. Please stop seducing me. I''m not interested in an older man." Eden yelled. "You''re the one who seduces me first! How can I stop if we are mates? Just ten years, not too much different age." "I never seduce you, Mr. Lupo!" "But, Your body scent seduces me, Baby Girl." "I don''t wear perfume." "It is not from the perfume." Eden stopped her step and turned her head to face Alexander. [This guy was more and more insane every day. I must end this unuseful conversation and go home. I have to work at the hotel with Arley this evening.] "Huff ¡­ can you please leave me alone?? Please don''t bother me!! Don''t inhibit me from finding a job, please. I need money." "Than you can work for me. I can give you money, as much as you want." Alexander offered Eden a job. "No, I''m not selling my pride as a woman." Eden faster her step and run. "Hey, wait!" Alexander wanted to chase Eden, but his secretary tapped his back. "Alpha, you need to come back. You have an invitation party from our company colleague." Jack reminded his alpha about the party tonight. "Sigh ¡­ at least I already met her and made her feel my presence like Selena''s advice." Alexander sighed heavily When Jack opened the car door for him. ****** . . . One hour before the party started, 5.00 pm. Eden looked at hers in the mirror, tidying up her maid''s clothes. Once again, Eden felt odd in her costume. A maid costume, black and white color, with an extra crumple on the chest, made the breast looks bigger¡ªthe short skirt decorated with layers of flounce. And long black lace socks with white ribbon. Black shoes and a pretty hairband complete Eden''s appearance tonight. "Why we should wear this mischievous maid costume. It''s uncomfortable to move when serving the guest." Eden protested. "I like it. This costume makes me like an anime character." Arley didn''t hesitate. She felt like working at the maid cafe. "It''s not funny, Arley. this skirt is too short and puffy." Eden felt uncomfortable. She kept her legs closed. "Stop complaining. The owner wanted us to wear this maid dress, so you need to adjust yourself. Do you want the money or not?" "Of course I want." "Then go out, and let''s work." "Okay." Eden inhaled some air before entering the doorway. Many guests had arrived at this huge and luxurious ballroom. The crystal lamp hung beautifully at the center of the ceiling. Eden was stunned. It was the first time she entered a five-star hotel. "Hei, miss!" "Yes, Sir." Eden approached him with a tray full of champagne glasses. "Thanks." he grabbed one. "Your welcome, Sir." Eden nodded politely. She went around the ballroom to serve the guests beverages and food. Even though her dress was unconfortable to move, Eden must endure it because she needed the money. She must pay the electric and water bill as soon as possible to avoid sealing. The band played soft classical music for soprano singers. More Guests arrived at the hall. They chatted, ate, danced, and enjoyed the party. Eden still walked around the ballroom to serve them. Her leg and arm now felt tired. The heavy tray made Eden''s wrist relapse. [You can do it, Eden!!] When Eden tried to cheer herself, the arrival of a couple made her stunned. The handsome man walked inside the ballroom. His black hair looked so neat and silky. His eye beads were so dark but sparkling like the night sky. He was holding the hand of a gorgeous woman. This woman was charming like a goddess. A maroon glittering cocktail dress with a heart shape shows her plump breasts. The dress had a slit on one side, showing her smooth leg in high heels. She was holding a black clutch. From the top of her hair until the tip of her feet was perfect. Eden''s heart was pounding so fast when she saw them. They looked perfect as a couple. One was handsome, and one was beautiful. One was sturdy and tall, and one was slender and sexy. [Why my heart is beating so fast?] Eden tried to slow down her heartbeats. But the pounding was even raced faster until it felt so tight. [What happened to me?] asked herself. Eden could not move her sight from them until her eyes met his. "Hello, Baby Girl," Alexander smirked. ******** Eden was jealous ???? Chapter 23 - I’m Not Jealous! Alexander entered the ballroom. Selena rounded her hand into Alexander''s elbow. They looked like a matching couple that could make everyone in there feel jealous. Kairos and Jackson were tailing Alexander behind, protecting their alpha, although Alexander didn''t need that. He was the strongest among them. Every man that passed by always stopped to greet Alexander. "So wasting time. I hate the smell of their mouth when wriggler." Alexander sighed. Selena only smiled. Jack felt the same. As a wolf, their instinct could feel this guy sincere or just licking. They could snifted lies. "Please be nice, Alpha. They are our important business partners." Jackson tried to calm down his alpha. Just one hour, and then they could go home without harming the host''s feelings. But ¡­ when Alexander was bored, a faint scent made him flinch. [This smells?! Is it possible? Eden?] Alexander quickly looks around to find the girl. And Yes, Their Eyes met in one line, looked at each other. Eden''s face turned red. She was captured staring at Alexander without a blink. Alexander''s jaw clenched. [Damn it, Without my knowledge, she had a job!] Alexander stepped. Selena glanced at Eden with a curious face then she smiled. [So ¡­ she is the wild rabbit that Alexander told me, what a lucky girl.] Some people who were standing between Alexander and Eden went. Now, Alexander could see Eden in her maid dress costume from top of her head to the tip of her shoes. [Damn, What kind of dress she is wearing?? But ¡­ she is looking so Cute.] Alexander''s face turned red when he saw Eden''s appearance. She was indeed cute and sexy in this costume. Alexander''s fantasy went wild. What if Eden said to him, ''yes, Master, I''m yours, do what you want to my body.'' In that costume, begging him to touch her with a reddish shy face. Imagining that scene made Alexander swallow hard. His saliva stopped at the middle of the throat, making Alexander breathe heavily. Selena, who was seeing him amused. She whispered at Alexander''s ear. "I guess your dick is getting hard right now, Alex." Alexander turned to Selena with a stiff face, "How do you know?" "I can obviously see a bulge between your legs," Selena giggled. "Damn it." Alexander looked down at his pant. Oh yeah ¡­ there was an obviously bulge. "You already find your mate, but you can ask her for sex. It''s too funny, Alex. What are you thinking until that cock harden? Make out? Or ¡­ make love with her? I know in your brain, you are pretending to be her master, and she was your sex slave." Selena laughed. Alexander''s face was red, super red. "Wow, don''t tell me that my guess is accurate!!" Selena put her palm at her mouth when she saw Alexander''s red face. "Gosh!! My mighty, cold, and untouchable King only can slap her mate''s ass in his imagination. So sad... Hahaha!!" Selena teased more sarcastic. "Shut up, Selena! Don''t tease me." Alexander was so embarrassed because all that Selena said to him was true. "Hahaha ¡­ LOL! But wait ¡­ she is stealing a glance at you too, Alex. Is she jealous?" Selena tried to understand Eden by looking at her behavior. "Oh, ya? Do you think your plan works?" Alexander asked happily. "Let''s see, after pulling her feeling ¡­ I think it''s time to stretching hers." "How?" "Act like we''re a real match and romantic couple to see her response." Selena held Alexander''s firm hand. "Ok, let''s try," Alexander replied Selena''s hand and approached Eden. Eden''s heart was pounding so fast when she saw them. They looked perfect as a couple. One was handsome, and one was beautiful. One was sturdy and tall, and one was slender and sexy. [Why my heart is beating so fast?] Eden tried to slow down her heartbeats. But the pounding was even raced faster until it felt so tight. [What happened to me?] asked herself. Eden could not move her sight from them until her eyes met his. "Hey! Why are you standing here like a dumb? You have to work, E, the manager is watching at you right now!" Arley whispered to Eden, trying to warn her. "Ah, yes." Eden still looked at Alexander. "Oh, is that Selena?? Wow! She is prettier than in photos or television." Arley stunned, Selena was indeed a beautiful Goddess. "You know her?" "Of course I know, she is an international model and artist. Everybody knows. And... holy shit!! Is that Alexander Lupo???" Arley looked more dumbfounded when she saw Alexander. "Eh?? You know him too?" "Yes of course, he is a successful businessman. Many business magazines often use his face for cover. Handsome, smart, and rich, he is every woman''s dream husband. I never think that they are dating." Arley had too much babbling. Without realizing... Alexander had stood in front of Eden. "I... I better go, you better get back to work too, E." Arley ran away. Alexander''s aura made her feel uncomfortable. But, Eden''s legs were nail to the ground when face to face with Alexander. Couldn''t move. "Hello, Baby Girl. So you have a job here?" Alexander smirked. Eden didn''t know what to say, the rumble in her heart became more and more uncontrolled. She felt tight, as she was... jealous?? [What?? Wait!! No... I''m not jealous!] Eden tried to fool herself. "Why don''t you answer me, Baby Girl?" Alexander asked again. Eden looked at Selena''s hand which was holding Alexander''s. Selena tighter her hand to see Eden respond. Eden turned her face, she didn''t want Alexander to know her red annoyed look. "I have to go back to work." Eden left from his sight. Selena smiled, "You owe me a favor, My Lord. I think we are successful in taming that wild rabbit." "Yes, I can see her cute face turning red." Alexander nodded while looking at Eden''s back disappear into the kitchen. ******* Chapter 24 - Truth Or Dare Eden pushed the door to the kitchen full of strength. She didn''t care about her wrist that recently relapsed. Her heart was still racing because of anger. Why was she angry? Hmm ¡­ Eden couldn''t understand why she felt so tight just because Selena held Alexander''s hand. Eden''s heartbeat didn''t want to slow down, pounding even faster. "Damn it!" Eden grabbed a glass, poured it full of water, and drank it fast to keep her head cool. "Huff ¡­." Eden huffed several times to slow down her heartbeat. She tried to control herself. [That pervert telling that I''m his mate, but he holds another woman''s hand. What a liar!! Damn wet dog!] Eden grumbled in her heart, cursing Alexander. [ But ¡­ wait ¡­ Why I''m angry?? Why do I care? It is not my business if he walks or holds another woman''s hand! ] Eden denied her feelings towards Alexander. This girl didn''t want to admit that she was jealous. "Hei, E." Arley patted Eden''s shoulder, causing this daydreaming girl to be startled. "Iiihhh ¡­ you surprise me!!" Eden stroked her chest. She glanced sharply at Arley. "Woah! Easy girl, you look scary. Why are you so angry?" Arley nudged Eden''s arm. "I don''t know either. Why am I angry." Eden just shrugged. "Hahaha, You dumb, BTW, Why was Mr. Lupo looking for you? What did he say?" Arley smiled. The man she adored was seen chatting with her friend. Of course, she wants to know why. "Nothing." "Oh, come on! Tell me, E. I''m curious. His eyes stare at you like a wolf wanting to catch the prey. So sparkling with excitement, what happened between you and him?" Arley whimper. "I don''t know him, and nothing happens between us, Arley!" Eden prepared a tray and filled it with glasses of champagne. "Did he offer you something?" Eden stopped, then said, "No." Then went outside to go back to work. Arley sighed, then she followed Eden with a tray full of sweet pies. . . . On the sofa, In the corner of the ballroom, there was a group of young men. Some young master, descendants of big companies were chatting, drinking, laughing, and making out with the girls. They were drowning in alcohol. "Let''s play truth or dare!" One of them suggested a game to make the party happier. As a young, they felt boring with the classic entertainment or chatting to build business relations and nonsense business talk. They wanted to play wild as young people did, so they decided to play this game. "Yeah!! Let''s play! *hiccup*¡­!" "Have you drunk?!! What a pussy! So lame!! Hahaha!!" His friends were mocking him, throwing leftovers and peanut shells at him. "I have not drunk yet, *hiccup*!" "Tsk, then rolls the bottle!!" Asked his friend. "Alright!" He rolled the empty bottle at the center of the glass table. The bottle rounded fast, then slowed down and stopped at him. "What??!!" Yelled him, all his friends laughed. What a chance! "Truth or Dare?!" They asked. "Tck ¡­ dare!!" He exclaimed. "Ok ¡­ let us think." Accidental Eden passed by with a tray full of glasses. She was serving the guest back and forth. And one of the young guys nuggled his friend''s arm. He smirked and pointed at Eden. "Yeah!! She is cute." "We have decided, the dare game for you! You must kiss that girl on her lip and get her bra." "Who?" "That girl, the maid with rabbit teeth." They pointed at Eden. "That easy. Not only kiss and get her bra! I''ll fuck her all night long!" He stood up with a totter move. This man approached Eden. All of his friends laughed so loud and whistled to give him cheer. The man smirked, slowly but sure. He followed Eden everywhere she went. And when Eden out of stock, she wanted to fill the tray and went back to the kitchen. This man suddenly holds her wrist. "Ouch!" Eden moaned in pain. Her relapse wrist felt so much pain because of his grip. Eden couldn''t fight back because of her pain when The man dragged her to the balcony. There was no one there. So quiet, no one will hear her scream because of the loud music in the ballroom. "Who are y¡ªhmp!!" The man silences Eden with his palm. Eden''s eyes rounded in fear. Just in seconds, a stranger had gripped her body to the wall. [What does he want??] Eden shivered with fear. She could see the red face and smelled alcohol from the man''s body. [Let me go, you asshole!!] Eden could not be exclaim, silenced. She struggled from his grip, didn''t want to follow this man''s wishes. [Damn it!! He was so strong!] Eden couldn''t even move a single step. "I can give you a lot of money, Baby! Sleep with me tonight. I will satisfy your pussy with my big cock!" He mumbled as he lost his mind. Eden''s heart was pounding so fast. Cold sweat dripped from over her face. This guy was drunk. He became mad and wanted to r*pe Eden. The game he was playing with his friends pushed him to kiss Eden''s lip. So ¡­ he didn''t want to waste time. His face comes closer, approaching Eden''s lip. He tried to touch Eden''s lips with his. Eden was terrified, her eyes winded, and when the face was closer, reflectly, Eden closed her eyes tightly, afraid and could not see his disgusting face. "NO!! DON''T!!" Eden screamed. ******* Woah!! Eden!! Alex, please come to save you Baby girl, she''s in danger! Chapter 25 - Why Would I Love A Stupid Girl Like You?! Alexander was looking at Eden everywhere she went. He didn''t want lost a sight and let anything happen to Eden like yesterday ¡ªwhen Bianca pushed Eden and hurt her wrist. But ¡­ a man approached Alexander. He was the host of this party, an important business Partner. Of couse, He was happy to see Alexander came at his party. This man shook Alexander''s hand as a greeting, wanted or not, Alexander had to greet him back, as a good attitude. Alexander sighed in his heart, just a moment, and he had lost Eden''s figure from his sight. Where is she? Alexander thought. DEGH! Alexander''s heartbeat''s suddenly pounding so fast, feeling something wrong. What was this? His instinct catches something. "Eden!" Alexander felt that something dangerous had happened to Eden. Alexander inhale so deep to smell Eden''s scent. He must searching that girl fast before she got hurt. Alexander didn''t care about the host that squawked excitedly. "Alpha?" Jackson called Alexander. But ¡­ suddenly Alexander ran away, made his secretary gasped in disbelief. What happened to his alpha? Meanwhile ¡­ at the balcony. Eden was still struggling at the man''s grip. Eden''s heart was pounding so fast. Cold sweat dripped from over her face. This guy was drunk. He became mad and wanted to r*pe Eden. The game he was playing with his friends pushed him to kiss Eden''s lip. So ¡­ he didn''t want to waste time. His face comes closer, approaching Eden''s lip. He tried to touch Eden''s lips with his. Eden was terrified, her eyes winded, and when the face was closer, Eden closed her eyes tightly, afraid, and could not see his disgusting face that approached hers. "Let me go!!" Eden tried to kick his dick for self defense. but missed. "Fuck!! Damn it!! Bitch!!" This man slapped Eden''s cheek. "NO!! DON''T!!" Eden screamed. SLAP! He slapped Eden while Alexander came to the balcony. The man dared to hurt Alexander''s beloved woman in front of him. was He wanting to die soon? Not stopped there, when he saw Eden''s limp body, he immediately came closer once again to kiss Eden''s lips. GRAB!! Alexander grabbed his hair and pulled him from Eden side. The man winch in pain. Alexander looked at him furiously. His anger ignited when he saw the woman he loved almost stained with the filthy lips of this damn bastard. "Mr. Lupo." Eden rebelled. she immediately ran behind Alexander''s body, seeking cover. Her body shook violently. "With which hand did he touch you?" Alexander looked at Eden''s injured face. Her face was messed up with sweat and tears. Eden couldn''t answer it. she was still crying and sobbing. Alexander became more and more furious. He gripped the man''s wrist tighter until he kneeled and screamed in pain. CRACK! The sound of bones cracking reached Eden''s ears. Pity. "AHHH!!" The man screamed in pain, his bones crushed because Alexander''s strength as a werewolf far exceeded that of an ordinary human. He was so sick that he even knelt before Alexander. "I¡ªI''m sorry, I didn''t know you knew her, Mr. Lupo!" He begged Alexander''s forgiveness. Alexander didn''t care about the man''s regrets. Dare to disturb his woman meant he had to die. Alexander immediately lifted him. He threw his fists several times, not with full power. Alexander didn''t let him die easily. His fists were making the person''s body limp. He could not reply to Alexander because Alexander was too strong. Jackson, Kairos, and Selena arrived on the balcony. They saw the massacre that the alpha had done to the poor young man. "Alpha!!" Call Jackson. "King!!" Call Kairos. BUGH!!! BUGH!! Alexander continued to beat the man. His blood spurted everywhere, soaking his body and the expensive suit that Alexander was wearing. "FUCK!! You touched my woman!!" Alexander was not content to just hit him, and he was about to break his neck. "No, sir!! You can kill him!" prevent Eden. "Don''t beg for him!" Alexander''s snapped made Eden swallowed her words back. "P¡ªplease spare my life, I didn''t know s¡ªshe''s your-lover!!" The man was begging for his life. His body was almost at the threshold limit. He would die if Alexander hit him once again. "Please, Mr. Lupo. Don''t kill him." Eden hugged Alexander''s body from behind. The sight was so terrible. Was Alexander going to kill people for her sake? Eden certainly didn''t want to be the cause of a murder. Because of Eden''s whimper, Alexander was forcing to stop his punches, and he wiped the blood on his fists with that bastard shirt. Then his eyes turned to Eden. "Are you okay?? Not hurt??" Alexander cupped Eden''s face. He traced her flushed cheeks; Alexander''s heart was furious again. "I am alright." Eden looked down. she couldn''t see Alexander''s face. Too terrible, this man was so terrible. "Get rid of that man, Jack." Alexander''s orders. "Okay, Alpha." Jackson and Kairos dragged the man''s body and disappeared. "Thank you. I don''t know what would have happened if you weren''t around." Eden wept, still lowered her face. "I told you not to work?? Why won''t you obey?? Why are you so stupid??" snapped Alexander. "Why are you yelling at me? I told you I needed money! I''m not you, Mr. Lupo, who is so rich and has everything. I can''t even pay the electricity and water bills. Besides, if it weren''t for you keeping me from getting a job, I won''t bother working as a maid in this shitty outfit." Eden said the reason, annoying, Alexander, really annoying. Eden was a victim. Why did it seem like she is the one who fault?! "I can give you a job! Not need to hard work! I can give you money! as much as you want!" Alexander snapped again. "I don''t need your money, and I don''t want your pity either!" Eden replied. "Stupid!! Why would I love a stupid girl like you!" Alexander pulled and pushed Eden''s body which was shivering with fear and anger against the wall. Alexander''s shoulders rose and fell with emotion. His breath felt hot when it touched Eden''s face. Alexander brought his face closer to Eden''s face, Eden''s eyes widened. "What do you want, Mr...?!" Eden''s question was cut off because. Alexander kissed Eden''s lips, gagging her mouth that was too talkative and often grumbled. her Lips may need to be taught a lesson¡ªsweet and excite lessons. Alexander cupped Eden''s face while licking her lips, moving actively, slowly but with emphasis. Eden couldn''t fight back, she felt weak. Alexander''s kiss was so intoxicating Eden lost her mind. Shouldn''t it be at a time like this that Eden should have pushed Alexander''s body and slapped his face for kissing Eden without permission?? But why not?? Instead of being angry, Eden enjoyed Alexander''s kiss. A citrus scent spreads every time Alexander moves his lips and tongue in. It was the scent that made Eden unable to resist her sane. "Ump¡­" Eden gasped for breath, too shocked to make Eden forget to breathe. What just happened? Why was that kiss taste so sweet? Alexander let go of his lips. With his thumb, Alexander stroked Eden''s lips to wipe away the remaining saliva. Eden was still looking at Alexander''s face with a confused look. "These lips are only mine," he said, "This body is only mine!" Alexander ran his fingers lodged in Eden''s waist up and pointed at her chest. "Your feelings and soul are also mines." Gluk! Eden swallowed her saliva heavily. Eden wanted to protest, but Alexander''s domineering aura made her tongue go numb. Not a single word was said, only Eden''s face was getting redder, and her heart was speeding up. "So¡­ if you want to work! Work for me. You can be a maid if that''s your only skill. I don''t mind seeing you wearing this dress every day." Alexander smirked. "You pervert!" Eden said. Her gaze returned to her usual fierceness. "I still won''t want to work for you." Eden was still thinking that Alexander wanted to make her a sugar baby. "I''ll be waiting for you. Call me when you change your mind, Baby Girl!" Alexander slipped his business card between Eden''s lips. "See you later, Luna." Selena smiled at Eden before grabbing Alexander''s hand back into the ballroom. "Tsk, I''m not your Luna!" Eden snorted in annoyance. [ And let go your hand from his.] Once again, she hated seeing Alexander with another woman, but only squeaking in mind. ******* Eden is so adorable.... do you think Eden will accept Alexander''s offer? To be his maid? ???????? Chapter 26 - OK, I’ll Work For Him!! Eden followed Alexander to return to the ballroom. Her eyes continued to stare disapprovingly at Selena who continued to cling hers to Alexander''s burly arms. [ And let go your hand from his.] Eden could only grumble in her heart, not daring to told Selena directly. Didn''t Eden who was clearly reject Alexander just now? "I haven''t seen you this angry in a long time, Alex. Last time I saw you were so angry until you lost your mind was when Uncle Miguel¡­" "Stop, Selena!! I don''t want to hear that name!!" Alexander glared at his childhood friend. Selena''s guts immediately shrunk, she forgot how much Alexander hated Miguel Grey. "Sorry, Alex." Selena looked down. "Well, I want to go home. My shirt was splashed that bastard''s blood." Alexander left the Ballroom area. "Take care of Eden, Kai!" Alexander asked his best warrior to take care of his Luna. "Yes, My Lord." Unbeknownst to them, Eden had overheard the conversation earlier. "Miguel?? Why did they bring up that name?? Do they have anything to do with My Dad??" Eden guessed haphazardly the story that was only heard briefly. However, for some reason Eden felt sure that the Miguel they were referring to was his father''s name, Miguel Grey. "Maybe it''s just my feelings. How could my dad possibly know about werewolf things." Eden whispered. Eden rubbed the back of her neck to get rid of her worries and went back to work. Although still so shocked by the terrible incident that almost happened to her, she still had to work because she needs money to pay all her bills. "I looked for you everywhere. Where are you, E?" Arley asked as Eden entered the kitchen. Eden couldn''t possibly tell Arley that she had just had a bad experience. Eden saw Alexander beat up a man who wanted to r*pe her so viciously that he almost died. Arley would surely panic and take the man to the police station and drag Alexander''s name. Eden didn''t want the problem to become big and spread everywhere. "I ¡­" "Hey, why are your cheeks red?? Who hit you??" asked Arley again, she saw the red finger marks on Eden''s pretty face. "I accidentally fell," Eden answered covering her wound with hair. "Don''t lie, E! Let me see!" "No, Arley. Let''s get back to work. It''s only a matter of time before our hours are over and I''ll get my paycheck." Eden rushed to set the glasses on the tray. But the kitchen door opened, a man entered along with the manager of the hotel where Eden was currently working. "Sorry, Mr. Kai. I had no idea that this girl spilled wine on Mr Alexander''s clothes." Manager and Kairos approached Eden. Eden raised an eyebrow in confusion. Wine?? Her job was to bring champagne, not wine. After all, who spilled the drink on Alexander''s shirt?? The red stain was blood, not wine! Was this man dumb? "You have to take responsibility, Miss Eden." Kairos accuses Eden on Alexander''s orders. "Shit!" Eden muttered. Alexander knew, even if he spoke nicely, Eden would not obey his orders to go home and stop working. That girl was too stubborn. So¡­ Alexander was forced to resort to devious means by abusing his power. "Oh no!" Arley covered her mouth. Why was Eden desperate to bothered a powerful man?? Had she lost her mind? Eden was speechless, she couldn''t refute Kairos'' words because the manager suddenly came and fired her. "You''re fired!! Leave this kitchen and hotel immediately." He kick her out fiercely. "But, sir!" Eden wanted to protest. "Now!!" he snapped. Eden glanced at Kairos, Alexander''s trusted man could only hide his guilt through a flat smile. Honestly, he really felt sorry for Eden, but the alpha''s orders were absolute. What''s more, it''s also his duty to protect Luna and bring her home safely. Eden took a deep breath, there was nothing else she could do. Alexander really was a lousy guy!! Ugh¡­ Eden wanted to scream and curse at this wet dog. "OK!! I will get out from here! But give me my salary first!!" Eden slammed the apron on the serving table. "Money?? You asking me for money!! Don''t joke! Your salary isn''t even enough to cover Mr. Lupo''s expensive suit laundry!! No salary!! Get out of here right now!!" Shout out the manager in a high tone. Eden stares dumbfounded, no salary?? No money?? After working hard all day around with heavy tray in this ridiculous maid outfit, working so hard that her back and arms are about to break, there isn''t even a bit of money for her to bring home with??! [ What a scumbag! He didn''t even listen to my excuses first and instead withheld my money!] Eden thought. "Fuck!!" Eden cursed in a high tone and nudged the manager''s shoulder. Arley, the manager, and the other kitchen staff were flabbergasted at her cursing. Kairos just stifled a laugh, what a fierce and brave girl like Alexander said. Eden disappeared behind the employee locker room. Step as wide as possible to quickly leave the hotel. Kairos smiled sweetly and left the kitchen. The man would wait for Eden downstairs and take her home as the Alpha''s ordered. . . . "No!! I can go home by myself." Eden refused Kairos'' offer to take her home. The tall man with dark brown hair had opened the luxury car door for Eden. "Sorry, Luna. I do not offer. But I insist. Getting you home safely is Alpha''s command. So I have to make sure you come home safe with my own eyes." replied Kairos. Eden massaged her temples, were all of Alexander''s men really that annoying like his master?? "Come on, Luna." Invite Kairos again. Eden bit her lip, her body was already very tired from working hard today. But was this man really going to take her home?? Didn''t kidnap her like Alexander used to? "Calm down, Luna. I will not kidnap you. Alpha said sooner or later you will definitely come to him voluntarily." Kairos seemed to be able to guess what was in Eden''s heart. "Never!!" Eden answered curtly but kept getting into the car. Fuck off if Kairos kidnapped her, her body was too tired and her heart was so disappointed because she couldn''t get a penny today. Kairos smiled and shifted into the driver''s seat to escort Eden back to her house. "Was Alexander the one who told you to slander me spilling wine on his clothes that I couldn''t get my salary?" "Yes." Kairos nodded, "I''m sorry Luna. I have to, Alpha''s orders are absolute." "Why do you keep calling me Luna?? My name is not Luna, my name is Eden," said Eden. "You are Alpha''s future wife, of course I should call you Luna." replied Kairos. "No way!! Who would want to marry that wet dog?" Eden immediately shouted, goosebumps when she heard that she had to marry Alexander Lupo. "Destiny, mate is inseparable." Kairos told Eden about mate, Eden was annoyed, was she the only one who doesn''t understand the meaning of the word ''mate?'' "Mate?" "Yes, mate, fated bond within body and soul." "So ¡­ we''re mean to be together?" "More than that. Ah¡­ We arrive, Luna." Kairos opened the car door for Eden. Eden got out of the car with a sullen face because her curiosity about Mate had not been satisfied. "Alpha said, you can get a job at the mension. Please contact him as soon as possible." Kairos looked at Eden gently before leaving her to went back to the car. Eden took out Alexander''s name card which was creased in her jeans pocket. Alexander had put it on Eden''s lips after they kissed. Eden reads the name card, Alexander Lupo, address, phone number, and email. "Tsk, I will never work for him!!" Eden entered her house. Just a few steps. Pst ¡­! The lights went out¡­ darkness enveloped Eden''s house. The electricity cut was due to three months of arrears in payments and currently Eden has absolutely no money to pay for it. "OK!! I''ll be work for him tomorrow!!" exclaimed Eden desperately!! ********* LOL ???? Eden so ass out ???? Eden will be a sugar baby or a maid?? Chapter 27 - What Do You Think? Last time I saw you were so angry until you lost your mind was when Uncle Miguel¡­ Stop, Selena!! I don''t want to hear that name!! Eden remembered every word from Alexander and Selena''s conversation last night. Alexander looked upset, angry, and even mad when Selena mentioned Miguel''s name. Hm... what''s going on? "What had happened between them?" Eden dried her wet hair with soft towel because she couldn''t use hair dryer. The government had cut the electricity at Eden''s house, luckily the water had not yet stopped. Eden was still able to take a bath before going to school. But, it was a matter of time before they cut the water supply too if Eden could not pay for all her arrears bills. "Can I know something about my dad if I work for him?" Eden stroked her chin. The police told her family that Miguel Grey had died in an accident. The wood manufacturer where her father worked had burnt. They said it''s because of electrical consleting that burning all the factory. No one survives, including her father. Eden''s heart was torn apart by that sad news, and more pain when they told his family that nothing was left from her father''s body. Only ashes with his burned copper watch that proved his death. Until now, there wasn''t body in Miguel''s tomb. Only his name was carved on the tombstone. Eden wanted to believe that her father was still alive. Even it was only 1 percent chance. And after a few years passed, and Eden stopped to believe, Alexander''s conversation made her curiosity reappeared. . . . "I''m hungry!" Eden looked desperately at her refrigerator. There was nothing left due the electrical cut last night. All leftovers were rotten, smell bad. So ¡­ Eden must cleaned all of it before go to school. "Shit!" Eden cursed while slammed the refrigerator door. If only her money did not disappear, everything would be okay!! Now, she should work for Alexander Lupo to produce money. "Mom or Marvel??" Eden was still wondering, who had stolen her money? Eden could not understand why her mom and brother had the heart to torture her. "They do not go home either. Where are they??" ******* . . . After School. Alexander [ Hai, Baby Girl.] Eden was shocked when she read the text message on the phone screen. It''s from Alexander Lupo, the evil guy who was always bothering her lately. Eden [ How can you know my number? ] Quickly Eden answered the message back. Alexander [ it doesn''t matter how, Importantly, now I can text you, Baby Girl.] Eden [Tck, How??] Alexander [ Easy, I asked the manager hotel. I told him that I needed your number. Aren''t you have to pay for the laundry? ] Eden pouted, she sighed in disbelief. The manager didn''t give her salary to pay for the laundry, but why does this damn Wet Dog still demand the money?! Eden [Stingy rich man!] Alexander [When are you going to work for me?? Don''t you already have no money at all?] Eden [Tck! How do you know?] Eden was very upset. Oh ... must she work for this pervert?! Eden had no choice, no one wants to accepted her to work as long as Alexander was still abusing his power. [So... Do you agree work for me now?] Eden refused to be angry. She must think with a cool head and also be calm. if she didn''t work, she couldn''t pay all the bills and daily needs. "Who knows besides money I can also get information about my dad." Eden returned to typing on the screen of her cellphone. Her beautiful face looked serious when she arranged words, typed then deleted ... typing again ... then deleted again. Eden scratched her head, how to say that she needed a job but didn''t want to be Alexander''s sugar baby. Alexander [Don''t take too long, Baby Girl! Or I will find someone else to take your place.] Gosh!! He so impatient, Eden whispered in her heart. What should she do? Alexander [Last offer!] "Damn it!! Fuck with everything!! I need money." Eden typed another reply. Eden [Wait!! Okay! Yes, I''ll work for you, Mr.Lupo!] Sudenly, the phone rang. Eden flinched and almost threw her cell phone. Alexander immediately called Eden as soon as the girl answered yes. "Hello." "I''m giving you ten minutes to get out from the class, Baby Girl!" "Hah?? Why??" Eden looked confused. she immediately got up from her seat in the classroom and looked down from the window. Alexander Lupo, the man in the gray shirt with the two top buttons open, waved at her. Alexander greeted Eden''s sullen face with a sweet smile that was able to melt every woman''s heart around him. Alexander leaned on his supercar. All the schoolgirls who passed by looked at his handsome and masculine figure. Alexander has always attracted the attention of the opposite sex. Now Eden knew how Alexander knew she needed a job so badly. Again this man was following her. Damn stalkers!! "Ten minutes! Or you will immediately lose your job, Baby Girl!" said Alexander before turning off the phone. "Shit!!" Eden immediately rushed to tidy up all the textbooks, put them all in a bag. Without waiting for, Eden to run out, she didn''t even notice that Ace was coming. They both collide in the corridor. Eden''s nose turned red banging Ace''s chest. Ace helped her up. "Hey, E. Are you okay?? Why such a hurry?" asked Ace. "Hey, Ace. Sorry!! Need to hurry. Bye, Ace!!" Eden couldn''t mince words, Alexander gave her time. After all, there was no way Eden would say that she was going to work with a guy named Alexander and right now he was waiting for Eden in the parking lot! Ace could has wrong perception. "Bye, Ace! I''ll call you!" Eden shouted while running. "Okay." Ace said. . . . "Five seconds late!!" Alexander looked at his watch. "It¡­ hah¡­ hah¡­ just¡­ fi¡­ ve¡­ hah¡­ seconds!!" Eden was still catching her breath which was caught, her shoulders rose up and down. "Nope! I always value my time. So¡­ you have to be punished so you won''t be late again next time!" Alexander smirked, what a pleasure to tease this little girl. Her face when she was angry was adorable. Eden was speechless. she just glared at Alexander as a form of protest. "Come in! You''re going straight to work today." Alexander pushed Eden into his car. Eden was still annoyed, but complied and fastened her seatbelt. Alexander started his car and drove away from Eden''s school area to the road. All the students wondered, what was the relationship between Eden and Alexander Lupo?? Ace was no exception which saw them from upstairs. . . . In the car. With a sullen face, Eden asked, "What should I do for you, dear Mr. Lupo?" "Something hot and passionate. What do you think it''s?" Alexander teased. ******** What do you think guys??? ???????? Chapter 28 - I Love Milkshakes In the car. With a sullen face, Eden asked, "What should I do for you, dear Mr. Lupo?" "Something hot and passionate. What do you think it''s?" Alexander teased. "Don''t joke! it''s not funny!" Eden''s face turned red. What this pervert means by a hot and passionate job?? "Who''s joking? Hot, passionate, and a little bit sweaty too." Alexander added more clues that made Eden swallow hard. "Let me down here!" Eden''s face looked so shy. She threatened Alexander. "Why so shy? Didn''t We already kiss yesterday? And you ¡­" "Stop!! Don''t!" Eden was embarrassed when she heard Alexander. But Damn, it was true!! Yup, she enjoyed the hot kiss from Alexander. The fresh citrus scent made her intoxicated, surrender, and even let in Alexander''s tongue to play inside hers. Eden''s heart wants to explode from pounding so hard. She didn''t dare to see Alexander''s face because every time she saw his lip, Eden seemed to feel the seductive taste from their kiss last night again. "Puft... hahaha!" Alexander laughed when he saw her adorable red face. Then he stopped his car in front of a ramen restaurant. "Go down! We arrive." Eden gasped when she read the restaurant name and its slogan [HOT AND SPICY RAMEN - Try, taste hot, and you''ll feel a new passion.] As we knew, hot soup could return a good mood. "Eh...? Ramen?" "What do you think it is, Baby Girl? Hot and passionate sex? You little pervert." Alexander pinched Eden''s nose. "Damn it! You are teasing me!!" Eden yelled with her red face. (Alexander played flashback in his mind. Yesterday night, when he went home with Selena. She teaches this stiff and inexperienced wolfy how to win a woman''s heart. After the pull and stretch method was successful, now, time to make Eden fall in love with him. How?? Lesson number one, Win her heart by giving her tasty food. Good food, good mood. A stuffed tummy would bring happiness, and then the sweet dessert would warm her heart. So, Alexander treated Eden her favorite food.) "Come in; I know you love spicy noodles. You have to feed the roaring dragon inside your tummy first." Eden touched on her belly. Yes, the rumbling sound was heard because she didn''t have breakfast this morning. Eden followed Alexander''s steps to the Chinese restaurant. The girl was amazed at the luxury interior. A very authentic Chinese cuisine, tasty smell tickled her nose, making Eden feels more starving. They sat in a private room that Jackson had already booked for them. "Your first job, eat something and be happy." Alexander handed the menu book. With Confused, Eden read the dish name on the menu, written in the Chinese alphabet. "I can not read." "What about hot beef ramen and strawberry milkshake? Milk can reduce the spicy taste in your mouth." Alexander suggested. "Ok." Eden nodded. She loved milkshakes. The room became quiet after Alexander made an order. Eden preferred to lock her lips and avoid seeing Alexander''s handsome face and athletic body. Eden just realized that Alexander was wearing a slim-fit shirt with two unbuttoned. His muscular chest poked, so he was too hot to handle by an innocent girl like Eden. "Why are you silent?" "Nothing to talk about." "Hm... There are a lot of things to talk about, Baby Girl." "Oke, how much salary you will give to me, Mr. Lupo." "Call me Alexander or just Alex." But Alexander answered with another, and he didn''t want Eden to call him Mister. Before Eden could answer, the waiters came to serve food. One hot and spicy ramen and milkshakes. Alexander didn''t eat. He only ordered Chinese tea. "Woah!! Smells so good!" Eden was drooling. "Enjoy it." Alexander smiled to see his Baby Girl''s impatient face. Eden ate enjoyed every bite, with a mouth full, she smiled happily at Alexander. Only ten minutes to finish all the noodles and spicy soup. [Damn it, her lips are too juicy. I want to crush hers right now.] Alexander stroked his lip, looking at Eden''s red and thick lips because the spicy taste made Alexander excited. (Lesson number two! Give a compliment about hers.) "Ahh... so spicy!!" Eden sighed and quickly grabbed her milkshakes. Drinking milk reduced the spicy taste. "Oh... I love milkshakes." Eden felt stuffed. "Me too. I think your milk will be getting bigger if I can shake it every day. You''ll look perfect in D-cup." This was the best compliment that could come out from Alexander''s lip. "Cough.... Cough!!" "What are you saying??" Eden Protested, her gaze was sharp, ready to cut Alexander''s throat. "Which one? Milk?? Or Shake??" Asked Alexander. "You Damn pervert Wet Dog!!!" Eden shouted, echoing through the ceiling. ******** What do you do if you have the same compliment as Eden, guys??? ???????? Chapter 29 - Watermelon Size Boobs "Cough.... Cough!!" Eden was choking when she heard Alexander''s compliment about her body. "What are you saying??" Eden Protested, her gaze was sharp, ready to cut Alexander''s throat. "Which one? Milk?? Or Shake??" Asked Alexander. "You Damn pervert Wet Dog!!!" Eden shouted, echoing through the ceiling. "Woah... why are you so furious, Baby Girl." "You want to shake mine to D-cup! It''s the same size as a watermelon!" Eden couldn''t imagine how huge and heavy it was. "So what?" Alexander smirked. "It could be categorized as sexual harassment." Eden pouted. Alexander laughed so loud, Eden was so cute when grumpy by his compliment. "You''ll be my Luna. So I want to help you resize your..." Alexander''s eyebrows up and down while looking at her boobs. "Stop it!" Eden immediately crossed hands in front of her breast to avoid Alexander''s naughty gaze. [Ah, so adorable.] "Had you fallen in love with me?" asked him. "What?? Iiiuuhh... No!" Eden shouted. Alexander sighed; the first two lessons couldn''t succeed. Time to try lesson number three. What''s that?? "Came on; there are a lot of things we have to do." Alexander did not care about Eden''s protest. He held the girl''s hand and dragged her into the car. Quickly, Alexander helped her fasten the seatbelt. "Hey!" Eden almost yelled, but their faces were too close. Eden could see Alexander''s two black beads. They were twinkling like the night sky, so charming. Alexander felt Eden''s warm breathe on his face. Sweet scents that made him dragged into unspeakable desire. Alexander closed their distance tried to kiss Eden. BUMP! Eden hit Alexander with her school bag. "Ouch!! What are you doing, Baby Girl?!" "I... I''m the one who should ask that question. What are you doing, Mr. Lupo?!" "I want to kiss you." Alexander smiled. He was always honest to Eden. Not like this little bunny who was lying about her feeling. [ Huff... He is dangerous. I almost can not reject his act.] Eden hugged her bag tightly. "And don''t call me Mr. Lupo! Call me Alex. Try it." Alexander started the car. "Should I?" "Yes, you should, Baby!" "But, you are my boss." "As a boss, I order you to call me ALEX!!" "A... a... a..." Eden muttered, so strange. They had never been this closed before. "Just say my name, Baby Girl!" "Huff... A--Alex!" After long huffed, Eden managed to say it. "Good Girl!!" Alexander, proud, stroked Eden''s top head. Her face warmer, argh... was she crazy? Eden was blushing because of a little thing that Alexander had done to her. "Where are we going? Another restaurant?" Eden asked, her eyesight on the road. "No!" Alexander answered. "Where are we going, Alex?" "We''re going to the mall." Alexander turned his steer into one of the malls in the city center. "What are we doing there?" "Buy clothes, shoes, bags, whatever! Choose what you want!" "I don''t need any of that, Alex." Eden refused Alexander''s good intentions. "Your clothes are already lousy, Eden. I don''t want my Luna to be insulted by others." "Ck, I don''t have money to buy new clothes." "I''ll pay for it. All that you want!" (Lesson number three, go shopping, buy everything she wanted. Girls love fancy clothes, sparkling dresses, luxury bags, cute accessories, and sexy heels.) Yeah, We would go shopping, Baby!! It was a long time since Eden bought new clothes. Marvel, Vica, and their daily needs drain every penny she spends. So, how could Eden buy a new one? "Alex, I''ve never been in a boutique before." Eden pulled her hand from Alexander''s as they were about to enter the luxury boutique. "What is the relation?" "I can''t choose clothes." "I will choose it for you." "But ...," "Shhh...!" Alexander put his index finger on Eden''s lips, "Eden Grey! If you''re still talking too much, I''ll make sure to mute your mouth with my lips right now!!" Eden''s face warmed. Seeing Alexander''s handsome savage face made her pause. Alexander''s words that continued to shower Eden with attention made her cold heart melt little by little. Eden obeyed. She followed Alexander''s footsteps into the boutique. "Welcome, Mr. Lupo. Can I help you?" a shop clerk greeted Alexander. Alexander was a privileged customer. "No, I''ll choose myself," Alexander refused. Alexander took Eden around. Eden just looked at each of the clothes at such exorbitant prices without blinking. There''s nothing that Eden chose, she didn''t understand the current fashion trends. "Try this, this, then this," Alexander repeated as he handed Eden the clothes he had chosen. "Stop! So many!" Eden sank into a pile of clothes. "You''ll need a lot of clothes. Keep half of them in my mansion." Alexander had a shop assistant help Eden carry all her clothes to the fitting room. Eden obeyed, patiently trying on all the clothes one by one. Casual dress models to blouses. "How?" Eden came out in her first dress. Alexander looked at her for a while, then shook his head. "Ugly looks old. Next," he said. Eden went back into the fitting room, trying on other clothes. "This?" "Bad! Change, next!" "Huh?!" Eden came out of the room again. "It''s OK! Next." "This?" "Hmm, this is also OK! Next!" "How about this?" "No, too tacky, next!" "if this one?" "This is better, next!" Alexander ordered. Eden lowered her shoulders in annoyance. She''s tried dozens of clothes. How many more did Alexander want Eden to try? Alexander had already chosen almost half of the clothes store. Was it still not enough?! "Stop, Alex! I''m tired!" Eden grumbled. Alexander didn''t care, his sight caught a red dress hanging on a mannequin. "Put it down!" Alexander asked the shop assistant. "Yes, Mr. Lupo." "Alex!!" Eden''s eyebrows down as begging for mercy. This clothes shopping was exhausted her strength. "Try it. I promise this is the last one!" Alexander gave her a red dress. "Promise?" "Yup." Alexander raised his pinkie. Eden grabbed the dress and went inside the fitting room. She was trying on the fiery red dress that Alexander had given her. Tank top dress with 3/4 foot long mermaid skirt. The model of the skirt was tight and then tapered down to make the curves of the wearer''s body look more prominent. [Why does she take long?] Alexander thought impatiently, was Eden so exhausted that she couldn''t get out of the fitting room? Alexander put down the catalog of clothes he was reading and rushed into the fitting room. Moving the velvet curtains covering the fitting room. "A--Alex, why did you come in?" Eden Immediately glared at him in anger when she saw Alexander barged into the fitting room when she was half-naked. He smirked. ******** Alexander''s type woman "watermelon size boobs." ???????? Chapter 30 - Crazy Rabbit Alexander put down the catalog of clothes he was reading and rushed into the fitting room. Moving the velvet curtains covering the fitting room. "A--Alex, why did you come in?" Eden Immediately glared at him in anger when she saw Alexander barged into the fitting room when she was half-naked. "You took so long," Alexander replied, crossing his arms across his chest, leaning against the wall watching Eden. Alexander stroked his lip couldn''t stop swallowing his saliva because he was fascinated by Eden''s curves. "I can''t reach the zipper." Eden was a little awkward with Alexander''s gaze. Eden gripped the dress, so it didn''t sag and showed her boobs to Alexander. "Why don''t you ask for help?!" Alexander approached Eden. "I don''t have a heart, Alex. They must be tired. I tried on so many clothes before." "Tsk, that''s their job, Eden!" Alexander turned Eden''s body to face the mirror. "Alex, what do you want?" Eden flinched. "Helping you upper the zipper." Alexander was silent for a moment, watching without a blink the smooth back that was right before his eyes. His curiosity began to rise from his man''s soul at this time. Gulp! Alexander stroked Eden''s spine line with the back of his index finger. Eden took a deep breath, biting her lower lip as she felt a soft vibration and swish all over her body from Alexander''s caress. Alexander felt the softness of Eden''s skin before zipping up his dress. "Why are you so seductive, Baby Girl! You''re driving me crazy." Alexander kissed Eden''s neck, just below the line of her jawbone. Both of his hands cupped Eden''s hips. His hot breath made Eden weaker. She gripped the skirt of her dress tightly. "Why are you so hot?" Alexander turned Eden around and pushed her against the mirror. "A-Alex, what do you want?" Eden closed her eyes slightly, avoiding the sharp gaze that could melt her heart. Eden pushed Alexander''s chest with both hands, keeping a safe distance so their chests wouldn''t touch each other. "Alex!" Eden screamed as Alexander kissed her on the nape. Eden''s body became weaker. "Alex!! Let me go! Alex!" Eden replay called his name. Alexander didn''t heed Eden''s call. He enjoyed the sweet scent emitted by his Luna. sweet vanilla mixed with a white lilac floral scent. The scent kept him interested in becoming more and more curious about what was behind the red dress. "Stop it, Alex!" Eden pushed Alexander''s unmoved body. "I want to have you, Baby Girl." A smirk appeared on Alexander''s handsome face. "Alex, stop! We''re in a public place," Eden snapped, avoiding Alexander''s lips that were licking her neck passionately. "If it''s in a quiet place, does that mean you want to?" Alexander held Eden''s body so she wouldn''t struggle. "I don''t want to. It''s not in the work agreement," Eden refused, a frown on her face. There was no agreement at all. Alexander didn''t answer Eden. He slowly lowered the zipper of Eden''s dress again. Made Eden pushed Alexander''s body even harder. However, the man''s body in front of her was too big. Eden was only as tall as his chest. How could she possibly be able to keep up with Alexanders'' strength? "Alex!! Stop!!" "My hand won''t stop, Baby." Alexander pursued the corners of his lips, smiling slyly at Eden. "Stop!! This is too embarrassing!" Eden was still dodging. She shook her head so Alexander couldn''t touch her lips. "Stop moving, Baby Girl!" Alexander was irritated because Eden didn''t want to obey. "Damn it!" Eden fought back. She stepped on Alexander''s top toes as hard as she could. "Ouch!" Alexander shouted in pain. This fierce rabbit could hurt the alpha wolf. "Pervy Wolfy. Wet Doggo!!" Eden was annoying. "Crazy Rabbit!" They both cursed at each other. ***** Alexander had just finished paying for all the clothes he had chosen, and he had also wrapped several pairs of shoes in different styles. Alexander had the store clerk deliver all the clothes to his mansion this afternoon. "Why do you order them to send the goods to your house?" asked Eden. He said all of the clothes were for her. "You''ll be my Luna, my wife; of course, you will be living in my house." "No, I need a job, not a husband!" "Sigh... lesson number three is no success either," Alexander muttered. "Huh...? Lesson?" "Nope, Come on, I''ll drive you home!" Alexander took Eden''s hand and out of the shop. The shop assistant smiled when they saw Alexander and Eden from behind. They could hear what they were fighting for inside the fitting room. "I''m jealous, she can walk with a perfect man like Mr. Lupo." "Yeah, Me too. And they even squabble hot at the fitting room." "Ach... stop daydreaming. we need to deliver all of these clothes." . . . A few moments later. Alexander arrived at Eden''s house. It was very dark because of the electric cut. "Why so dark?" "None of your business," Eden answered. "Huh? Still mad at me, Baby Girl?" "No, How can I be angry with the boss?" "Sigh, a liar." Eden opened her palm hand in front of Alexander''s chest. "What?" "Give me the money, my salary for today. I need to pay for my electric bill." Eden asked. "I don''t have cash," Alexander replayed. "What? So... how could you pay for our shopping?" Shouted Eden. "This, this, and This." Alexander pulled out some black cards. The infinite card had no limit from his pocket. "Tomorrow, we will talk about the work agreement. My job, my salary, my day off, etc.!! Do you understand, Mr. Lupo?" Eden looked very fierce. This was the first time an employee was more vicious than the master. "Okay." Alexander desperately held his laugh. "Good!! I go!" Eden got down from the car and went inside the house. Alexander shook his hand before going. Eden turned the key to open the door. But... she stopped in half as a sight of a shadow captured by her eyes. Her Older brother quickly ran to the junction and disappeared. "Marvell???" Eden rushed to pursue her brother. ******* What''ll happen to Eden? Chapter 31 - Help Me!! Eden turned the key to open the door. But... she stopped in half as a sight of a shadow captured by her eyes. Her Older brother quickly ran to the junction and disappeared. "Marvell???" Eden rushed to pursue her brother. Eden gasped; she was running as fast as she could. Her breath was heavy, and the sweat began to drip from her temple. "Shit!! Marvell!? Stop!" Eden called her brother. Alexander, who was accidentally stopped at a traffic light, saw his little rabbit run. "Eden??" Alexander couldn''t believe what he saw. Marvel ran really fast, but Eden didn''t give up to catch him up. Marvel quickly turned toward the street behind the housing area. Deserted road near a dirty water canal. "Hosh¡­ hosh¡­ Wait!! You Damn Brother!! Give back my money?!!" Eden''s voice was hoarse because of the lack of oxygen. Marvel suddenly stopped. The bright light made Marvel blindfold his eyes. Marvel''s body shook violently. He was about to turn around. But Eden held him back. "Gotcha!!!" "Let me go!!" "You''re the one who stole all my money, huh?? Give it back?!" Eden immediately asked Marvel to be responsible for losing her money the other day. "Do you have money? Lean me some!!" asked Marvel. Cold sweat dripped from Marvel''s temples. The words made Eden annoyed. Instead of repenting, admitting guilt, or giving back Eden''s money. Her brother even dares to ask Eden for money again. Absolutely shameless!! The bright light from the vehicle''s headlights grew brighter, making Eden also feel dazzled. "I have to get out of here." Marvel pushed Eden. Eden fell backward. "Ouch!" Eden groaned in pain. Marvel started running again, but a motorbike sped up and stopped him from leaving. Marvel''s face was pale, he tried to turn to the side, but another motorbike stopped him. Likewise, in the opposite direction. Big motorbikes roared around Marvel as well as Eden who fell below. Eden was confused. What was this?? Who were these people, and what was their relationship with Marvel? The loud sound from the motorbike sounded very noisy in that quiet place. Soon a few more people joined in, speeding down the deserted street on sports bikes. "What do they want, Vel?" Eden got up. She approached Marvel and asked him. She is trying to find out what business these bikers have with her brother. "They''re a motorcycle gang." "I know, idiot!! They have motorbikes! I can see it!!" Eden wanted to swat Marvel''s head. "I owe them two thousand dollars for losing a motorcycle racing bet," replied Marvel. They took Marvel''s motorbike, but the old motorbike was not enough to pay the debt, and now they were looking for Marvell, who ran away. "Are you crazy??? You not only race but also gamble?? How ruinous has your life been, Marvel??" Eden was so annoyed to hear Marvel''s answer. "Shut up!! It''s none of your business. You are the one who made me like this??" Accusing Marvel, Eden caused him to be like this?? "What?" Eden''s eye rounded. The atmosphere became tense. Eden just realized that they were all dangerous people. They were a motorcycle gang, a big tall man with dozens of piercings in his ears and nose, also green hair coming down towards Marvel and Eden. He was trying to intimidate them. Marvel backed off, and so did Eden. Eden swallowed heavily when the harsh and loud voice snapped at Marvel to pay off the debt he owed quickly. "I have no money." "That means I have to beat you up!!" His voice was so scary. "Please forgive me. I really don''t have any money. Please give me some time." Marvel pleads. Punches!! The burly man immediately threw a hard hook at Marvel''s pale face. The man bounced onto the dusty street. Blood dripped from the corner of his lips. "Ah!!" Marvel cried out in pain. "Hey!! What are you doing?!!" Eden helped Marvel rise. "Who is this little girl?" he asked with a sly smile. His gangmates laughed at Eden. What a brave little bunny, oh rather stupid. What could this rabbit do to eradicate them? Biting with her tiny teeth? Hitting with her skinny hands? Or kick with those short legs?? "She''s beautiful. I like fierce ones like this!" The man pinched Eden''s chin. Eden looked at him without a scream. Alexander''s aura was darker and scarier. "Go, Boss!! Fuck her!" Everyone laughs at the same time. "He''s my sister!! If you want, you can take it in exchange for my debt." "Marvel!!!" Eden exclaimed in disbelief at her brother''s words. How could he have the heart to give Eden to these bastards as debt repayment? "Is that true?? Wow, what a kind brother." The man grabbed Eden''s arm so she wouldn''t run away. "You bastard, Marvel!!" Eden cursed at her brother. she should have just let Marvel lie on the ground and get out there. Eden was so stupid!! "Sorry, E. You shouldn''t have come after me earlier!!" Marvel ran away from the crowd leaving Eden as prey to wild men. "Let''s go party, pretty girl!!" "Let me go!!! Or I will call the police!!" Eden struggled from his grip. "Just try it. That''s if you have the energy after serving us all." His laughter was getting wilder. He was delighted because he found a sweet girl who could satisfy him in bed. "Damn it!!" Eden bit the man''s hand and made him swear. The man pushed Eden down to the dusty ground. Eden felt her butt hurt so bad. Eden''s heart was beating very fast. Cold sweat started dripping from fear. Eden''s eyes were red, holding back tears. Her face was messed up with sweat and dust. "HAH!!!" Eden screamed as the water splashed against her head. The smell was stink, piercing Eden''s nose. Eden knew this smell. "Ha ha ha ha!!!" A member of a motorcycle gang doused Eden with liquor in his hand. Eden stuttered. She even accidentally drank a few sips of alcohol. Eden''s clothes were soaking wet. Her face was starting to turn red. "Force her to drink!!" "Okay, Boss." Someone forced Eden to drink alcohol. Eden shook her head, refusing to drink it. She knew very well the disgusting smell that her mother always drank. "Help me!!" ******* Chapter 32 - I Feel So Hot! "Force her to drink!!" "Okay, Boss." Someone forced Eden to drink alcohol. Eden shook her head, refusing to drink it. She knew very well the disgusting smell that her mother always drank. "Help me!!" Eden shouted. "Drink it!!" a loud voice forced to put a bottle to Eden''s mouth so the girl could not scream. Gulp!! Gulp!! Eden gulped down a few gulps of alcohol. Her face turned redder. [Damn it!! My brother sold me just for two thousand dollars!!] Eden felt more unconscious from the alcohol effect. Her vision became blurred. But before Eden closed her eyes, a very familiar sound in her ears was heard. "Let her go!!" He ordered firmly. Everyone turned their gaze to him. "Alex ¡­" Once again, Eden called his name for help. [Is that you, Alex? or Is it just my dream?] Eden confused between reality and the flying effect of alcohol. All part of Alexander''s body was tense. A dark and heavy aura surrounded all over his body. For no reason, all of the men there suddenly gulped, cold sweat dripped, they were pressed by Alexander aura, they''re afraid, like a dog that obeys its master obediently. [Damn it, why are my hands shaking?!] They thought. As Alexander stepped forward, they stepped backward. Once again, they didn''t know why they acted like a pussy right now. Alexander''s eyes turned red, and his fang looked so sharp and shiny reflecting the moonlight. His hands were clenched tightly. He was so angry that he lost control. He wanted to tear apart everyone there. But, Alexander was realized by a soft moan. A moan of an unconscious girl. Alexander was approaching Eden, and he hugged Eden as fast as he could. "Alex, my head was spinning. I feel dizzy like i was getting on a roller coaster." "Eden!!" Alexander called her name. Alexander put off his shirt and covered Eden''s''s body. The wet clothes could make her get a cold. Now, Alexander''s athletic body showed up. There was a tattoo on his left upper arm¡ªline tattoo like a spell written in ancient symbols. "Wait for me a minute. I''ll kill them in a minute." Alexander asked Eden to hang on, Eden nodded slowly. Alexander turned his sight to the motorcycle gang. He pressed their soul with a super dark aura. "Kill him!!" The motorcycle gang''s leader tried to fight Alexander back. They weaponed with wrench, pliers, screwdriver, broken bottle with a sharp tip. He pushed his subordinates'' shoulders forward to fight. With doubtful movements, they stepped to the Alpha. They were afraid, like being stuck with a beast. "Kill me? Puft ¡­ you''re funny," Alexander mocked the man with green hair. "The girl is mine. Her brother sold her for paying his debt! If you want her back, you must pay for her!! Tenfold so it''s 20.000!!" Yelled the leader. Alexander huffed. It''s just a tiny amount of money for him, "I don''t bring cash. Do you accept a card?" Alexander pulled out his black cards. "No!! Where are you gonna swiping the card, huh? In my ass??" He answered, making all his friends laugh. "Too bad!! I only use a cashless!!" Alexander smirked. Alexander rushed with his superpower as a werewolf. It''s very easy to kill them all. "Eat this!!" A punch trowed to his face. His teeth shattered into pieces. The man trowed back several meters and seizure several times. Alexander crushed his cheek bone. Fresh blood flowed from his mouth. Then, he was dying. "Next!" Alexander intimidated that gang. knowing that their Leader beaten so easily made them shake. Alexander truly was a beast. Before they could run, before Alexander attacked once more time. A very dazzling light made his sight blurred. "Stop it, Alexander! Or I''ll kill you right now!" A few hoodie-men joined the turmoil. "Wizards. Do you think I''m afraid with you?" Alexander pushed his claws out. The Green Wizard stopped the time in his radius, so the humans were frezee. The Black Wizard used a spell for created a barrier. The Red Wizard created an illusion to erased their memories. The White one heals the green hair motorcycle gang leader. "Go!! Take the girl with you! We release you this time!" Ace, the white one, finished healing the bastard. He saw Eden in such a pathetic condition. His heart beat so fast. He felt miserable. Sadness looked thick in his eyes. "But, Ace?!!" The green one protested. It''s time to beat the King of werewolves. "The girl is not a threat, Jack!! She is a human." Ace protected Eden. "And we have a rules." Ace looked at Alexander with a sharp gaze, and Alexander returned the same gaze. "Sigh!!" After a disappointed sigh, The green Wizard disappeared the Red and the Black after him. "You know the rules, Alpha. When a wolf kills ten humans, the peace agreement will be broken. And when it''s come I''ll kill you by myself. Miguel had killed eight humans by burning them. You almost kills one this night. I wonder, how long you can hold the peace to your kind?!" Ace smirked. "I don''t want to hear an old man''s nagging. Let''s fight right now!" Alexander challenged Ace. "Eum ¡­" Eden muttered unconscious. "Eden first!" "You know her?" Asked Alexander. "Help her first!!!" Ace disappeared in a very dazzling light. Alexander felt something wrong with this guy. Why was he willing to release him just for the sake of one girl. But, he was true. Alexander must help Eden first. He must take her home immediately to avoid cold. Eden just a human, could get sick. "Alex?!" Eden called Alexander. "Yes, Baby Girl. Im here, lets go home!" Alexander carrying Eden little body easily. Eden felt Alexander''s warm embrace; Her nose caught the fresh citrus aroma mixed with sea salt and amber stone. What an intoxicating smell. Eden felt so comfy, felt safe. Alexander brought Eden to his mansion. Their arrival made Jared flinch. What had happened to his Luna? "Prepare the warm bathtub!!" Asked Alexander. "Y... yes, My Lord." Jared rushed. All maids followed Jared with the same panicked face. "Baby?? are you okay?" Alexander asked Eden on the way to his chamber. "Hiccup... Hic..." Eden hiccups, her face redder than earlier. "Water, Jared!" "Yes, Sir." "Oh... it''s so hot... Hmm... why so hot?" Eden felt burning by alcohol, she tried to take off her clothes. Alexander''s eyes winder, there were a lot of maids there. And some of them -including Jared- were a men. "Get out!! Get out of here!!" told Alexander in a high tone. "Yes, Alpha." They obeyed and went out. "Alex... do you think I get a fever??" Eden grabbed Alexander''s neck, and their forehead met. Their face was too close to felt each in-exhale breathe. Eden red face looked so beautiful. Gulp!! Yes... of course Alexander face turn red, now, not only Eden who felt burning. Alexander was burning too with his manhood desire. Eden lifted her chin, landed a kiss on Alexander''s lip. Alexander was stunned by Eden''s strange behavior. it''s unusual for Eden to be this calm and submissive until she initiated to kiss first. "Let me chill you, Baby Girl!" Alexander was carrying Eden to the bathroom. ******* What will happen in the bathroom?? Will Alexander mark on Eden?? Chapter 33 - Take A Bath With A Dog "So hot ¡­" Eden moaned. She was stretching her body while trying to take off her wet clothes. "Hey, Stop moving. I''ll help you." Alexander tried to calm down Eden. The girl nodded when Alexander took her dress off softly. [Blood stone?!] Alexander saw a red pendant hanging at Eden''s neck. When he was about to touch it, Eden covered the charm with her hand. "It''s mine," Eden said softly and stroked her breasts. Pulling the collar. Showing off her boobs made Alexander forget everything, including the bloodstone. Alexander''s eyes rounded when he saw two beautiful bulges sticking out from Eden''s white bra. Wow, although still A-cup but they could make Alexander swallow heavily several times. Especially the tiny nipples which looked so pink. "Alex... do you think I get a fever??" Eden grabbed Alexander''s neck, and their forehead met. Their face was too close to feel each in-exhale breath. Eden''s red face looked so beautiful. Gulp!! Yes... of course, Alexander''s face turn red, now, not only Eden who felt burning. Alexander was burning, too, with his manhood desire. "Why are you so handsome? Hehe... oh, and your scent... hmm... so fragrant." Eden didn''t let go of her embrace. She cuddled Alexander''s shoulder to the nape. She was tracing him with her nose. Eden was still under the alcohol effect. She drunk. "My Luna?" Alexander kissed Eden''s wrist. Inhale the same addicting scent from her body. "Yes, Alpha." Their eyes looked at each other, sparkling as they were meant to be together. Eden lifted her chin landed a kiss on Alexander''s lip. Alexander was stunned by Eden''s strange behavior. It''s unusual for Eden to be this calm and submissive until she kissed first. Alexander helped Eden take off her rest clothes until the girl was completely naked. "Let me chill you, Baby Girl!" Alexander was carrying Eden to the bathroom. Eden hugged Alexander on the neck. They were kissing all the way to the bathtub. Eden was drowning in the sweet nicotine scent that anesthetized her mind. Alexander''s firm hand put her body inside the warm water. Eden felt so relieved. The tense muscle began to relax. Her hot body temperature slowly downed. The alpha took off his clothes too. He wanted to mark Eden as his Luna. After a few seconds the Alpha ready to join his Luna, channeled the hot and passionate desire in the warm water with her. Alexander went into the bathtub, sitting on the other side. Made the water in the tub overflow out. Flooded the floor. "Eden¡­" Alexander approached Eden, about to kiss her. But suddenly, Eden''s palm foot held Alexander''s face from moving forward. Eden slowly started to regain consciousness. The coldness of the water brought her senses back. Eden blinked... And what was this?? what sight did she see so conscious? "What do you want to do, Alex??" Eden shouted. "Huh??" Alex was confused. Why did Eden turn into a grumpy little rabbit again? "W¡­ what did happen to me? Why I''m na¡­naked?" Eden stuttered when she found herself naked in the bathtub with the most pervert wolf in the world. She immediately pulled and hugged her knees so that Alexander could not see her body. "Hey, you''re the one who asked me to cool you down!" Alexander''s got up, Half body still in the tub. The upper half was visible. Eden dropped her chin at the sight of Alexander''s tight abs and chest muscles. Eden looked away, avoiding Alexander''s athletic body who was also naked. It was the first time Eden had seen a naked man''s body, and Alexander''s body was absolutely perfect. Tattoos on his stocky arms made Alexander looks so manly and titillating. [What was I thinking just now??] Eden bit her lip in embarrassment with her own wild thoughts. "This is the first time you''ve seen a man''s body, huh?" Alexander seemed to be able to read Eden''s mind. "Damn it!" Eden threw the shampoo bottle, but Alexander caught it accurately. "Thanks, I need shampoo." Alexander grinned. Eden snorted in annoyance; she drowned her body deeper into the water. Hiding her face that was heating up with embarrassment. Alexander stretched his arms and leaned against the edge of the tub. "A¡ªAlex, I''m going out. Can you close your eyes? this is embarrassing." Eden asked Alexander to relent. "As long as you kiss me again like before, I''ll close my eyes." Alexander chuckled when he saw Eden''s face, which was red like a boiled crab. "before?? Did I kiss you before?" Eden was wide-eyed. Alexander just smiled. He stroked her lips in a very sensual way, making Eden cover her face with palm hands. She did not dare to look at Alexander; it was too embarrassing and also strange. sHe kissed Alexander first. [Damn alcohol!!] Eden remembered those bastards forced her to drink whiskey. "Come here, Baby Girl!" Alexander pulled Eden''s hand, Eden tried to resist it, but Alexander still forced her. Eden was in Alexander''s arms. Chest to chest ¡­ Skin to skin. So warm ¡­ ah ¡­ what was this feeling? Alexander poured some mint shampoo over Eden''s head rubbed it gently, ridding stickiness from the long and curly hair because of the poured liquor. Eden was silent. sHe thought Alexander would be rude, and it turned out that he was only washing her hair. The masculine smell of mint shampoo was clear. What''s more, the warm water made the hot steam rise and intensify the aroma. Eden complied as Alexander cleaned her hair. Eden chose silence and enjoyed Alexander''s gentle caress, and her eyes stared at the soap foam on the surface of the water that reflected her blushed face. "Turn around!" Alexander asked Eden to turn around so he could rinse her hair. Eden complied. She turned her back to Alexander. Alexander cleaned Eden''s hair from soap suds. "Stay here, Baby Girl." Alexander hugged Eden from behind. "Huh?" "I don''t want something bad to happen to you anymore." "No¡­ I have a family." "Which kind of family that sold his own blood and flesh to those bastards?!" Alexander increased his tone. "How do you know?" "You muttered, cursed at your brother on the way here." "Ahh, I see¡­" Eden lowered her head sadly. She wrapped her arms around her knees again. "If you don''t want to be my Luna. Then work here as a maid or even a clown, serve me, entertain me. Everything you can do, then do it. I''m okay, as long as I can make you stay here with me safely." Alexander kissed Eden back, right under her nape. Oh... Eden''s body was vibrating lightly. She closed her eyes to feel the pleasure of Alexander''s warm kiss. "Can I get a salary?" "Of course, Baby Girl. Five dollars per hour." "Woah! You so stingy!" "Who says? I''d give a hundred for a hot kiss and a thousand for a passionate date," added Alexander. "Stop making me your SUGAR BABY, You Wet Dog!!" Eden glanced fiercely. "Nope!! Be a maid with five dollars an hour or...." Alexander squeezed Eden''s boobs before leaving the tub. "Damn you, Crazy Doggo!!!" "Hahaha..." Alexander laughed. ******* Alexander!!! ???? I''m jealous of Eden. Who''s with me? Chapter 34 - What Should I Do? "Woah! You so stingy!" "Who says? I''d give a hundred for a hot kiss and a thousand for a passionate date," added Alexander. "Stop making me your SUGAR BABY, You Wet Dog!!" Eden glanced fiercely. "Nope!! Be a maid with five dollars an hour or...." Alexander squeezed Eden''s boobs before leaving the tub. "Crazy Doggo!!" Eden yelled so loud. "Hahaha ¡­!!" Alexander laughed. "Where are you going??" Asked Eden, she closed her eyes tightly, too embarrassed to see Alexander''s naked body. "Leaving my Queen to finish her bath time." Alexander wrapped a towel around his hips. Eden opened her eyes, and she could see the V shape body that looked so sexy and strong. Full of muscle, from the shoulder, chest, abs, and the V line from hips to the ¡­ *blushing* something hides in the white towel. Eden wondered how strong that hips could move?! [Hey!! Stop be a trash!!] Eden shakes her head to flush away her dirty mind. "You can stay in my room tonight. I''ll ask the maid to prepare your clean clothes." said Alexander before leaving Eden. Alexander already bought a lot of clothes for Eden this noon. Eden drowned her face deeper into the warm water. She felt annoying but happy at the same time. She felt mad but also thankful. Only with Alexander by her side she could taste the strange feelings that blended into one. Bump Bump Bump ¡­ yes, her heart is like loud music in a nightclub right now! Woah!! What had happened? ***** . . . "Woooahhh!!! So huge!" Eden realized that not only the bathroom but the bedroom was also too big to be just one person. Eden could play football in this room. The last time she was there, she was afraid of Alexander. Escaping was the only thing in her mind. Now, when everything was clear, Eden could see how amazing this house was. Eden gasped, her eyes continuing to stare at every inch in the room. The room interior looked like a royal family room in a historical film, maybe the King room. Full of luxury furniture, carving woods in gold finishing polish, velvet blue luxury couch, marble table, tall mirror. "The TV is bigger than me. Amazing." Eden stretched her hands in front of the TV. "Tsk! How can someone be that rich??" Eden muttered, still walking around the room with her bare feet. Eden sighed long. She remembered about Marvel. How could Marvel sell her to that bastards? And why did he accuse Eden of being the reason for all his mischief? "Ah, what should I do now? I need money, I need a job, but... If I stay here, what about mom?" Eden stood in front of the door to the balcony. She was looking at the night sky that was sparkling with stars. "The night sky truly likes his eyes, so wonderful." Eden smiled. "But, remembering his pervert acts makes me peeved." Then frowned. "Ah.... I''m tired." Eden slammed her body to the bed. Super soft bed with silky and comfy fabric. Eden didn''t know when the last time she felt this comfort was. Eden rolled her body, side to the side and back to the middle of the bed. She giggled slowly with her childishness then hugged the pillow. Eden suppressed her face on the pillow. [Alexander''s body scent?? Hm... I wonder what kind of perfume he uses?] Slowly, Eden was lullaby with the sweet smell and fell to sleep. Alexander came in; he smiled full satisfy when he saw Eden''s innocent face when she slept. "Tsk, Why I have such a weak Luna? is the Moon Goddess joking with me?" Alexander stroked Eden''s lips before kissing it gently. "Good Night, Baby Girl." ******* . . . At the same time Ace was looking at the night sky too. He couldn''t erase Eden''s pathetic face from his mind. "Why, E? Why are you going with him? What kind of relationship do you have with him?" Ace was wondering. Alexander was a werewolf and Eden was a human. They couldn''t be a mate. The bell rang twelve times. So it was Mid Night... The moon was so bright, and the night was so dark. But when the night embraces the moon, it makes the moon gleam brighter. "Sigh... Damn it!!" Ace felt tight, he remembered the painful memory about the Moon and the Night. If he was the Moon... so who was the Night? ******** Sorry for the late update. I got a cough and flu! ???? Please wait for my update, Oke ?? Chapter 35 - A Piece Of Memory Hundreds of years ago. When the men were still traveling with horses. When the men were still reading with candles. When the men were still taking a bath at the river. Some people had a gift to create magic. The power to create magic is called LUMINOUS. There were four types of magic. White magic was the highest because it was a collection of healing and life spells. The second was black magic, were magic that focuses on the attack. Throwing elements spells such as fire, water, air, and earth to harm dan defense. Then there was red magic, illusion magic and also mind control. And finally, green magic, which was rare, can manipulate time. The radius and range of time depending on how strongly the spell owner used his abilities. All wizards had one magic that stood out. Although sometimes some wizards were able to control several types of magic. They were born with high LUMINOUS (the magical stamina that every wizard possessed to control magic.) The stronger the luminous, the stronger the wizard. There were several mages born with infinite luminous. There was also a weak Luminos, but he continues to try and train himself until he becomes strong. And those who were born strong are called magic geniuses. . . . [ High Academy of Wizard, Blue Tower.] This was the place where the young wizards studied their magic. In one class, there were fourteen to twenty wizards. They would line up in two long lines each time they changed styles. When they were students at the magic academy, they wore blue robes. Light blue for the youngest wizards, navy blue for mid-level wizards, and dark blue for upper-level wizards and master. Just then, a handsome young man in a navy blue robe accidentally nudged a girl from another class when the ranks of their group met in the middle of the class-shifting corridor. The young man accidentally slipped a piece of paper into the young girl''s spellbook. "Read..." he whispered while blinking his eye. The whisper was greeted with a beautiful smile from the girl. "Go before the teacher knows," she asked the man away as quietly as she could so that the teacher doesn''t listen to their secret conversation. The two returned to their respective ranks and parted ways. The girl looked at the slip of paper tucked in the middle of the book. [Meet me this afternoon at the tree of light.] The girl smiled and burned the paper as fast as lightning to dust. ****** . . . Tree of light, when the Wizard dies, their name would be hanging there. Like a soldier''s name chain, every Wizard had a bloodstone that carried their soul and name for identity if they died. Their bloodstone would return to the magic tower and hang on the tree of light''s breach. A young man slept under this tree, his handsome face covered with an old spellbook. The soft wind that cared on his face made him sleepy. So he fell to sleep before he finished his study. "Ace... Ace..." A girl voice rapidly called out his name. "Edith," Ace flinched when he saw the two different iris colors was looking at him. They were so wonderful, blue like sapphire and green like peridot, shining like gems. "You called me, but you are leaving me to sleep. How dare you." Edith pouted her lips, she protested. The relationship was forbidden in the wizard''s academy, so they were backstreet. And didn''t Ace know that it was hard to get permission from the dormitory''s head? Mrs. Mary was an old lady with sharp eyes and ears, she seemed to know that you''re lie. I''m sorry, My Love. The wind is too warm and comfy." Ace stroked Edith''s face that blushed red. "Why are you calling me here, Ace?" Edith asked curiously. "I miss you, My Love." Ace smiled and kissed Edith''s lips so intensely. Edith did the same; she repayed his kiss passionately. They did it, made love under the shadow of the tree. Let the sunset burn their love into moaned and pleasure until the sun was perfectly gone. Until the moon now became the ruleer of the horizon. "Ach ¡­, Ace ¡­ faster!" Moaned Edith when Ace penetrated in hers so deep and hard. "Yes, My Love. As long as you calling my name within your moan pleasure." Ace''s breath as gasped as Edith. "You naughty, Ace." "But, you love this naughty man, right?" "Of course, as deep as the ocean." "Really?" "Yeah, what about you, Ace. do you love me?" "I did." "then tell me!!" "I love you, E¡­ I love you ¡­" Ace kissed Edith''s ear with full of love. . . . One by one, the tears fell from Ace eyes. So tight until the air that surrounded him felt so thin. "Why am I crying?" Ace smiled bitterly. "Eden is not Edith... they are different." Ace was looking at the night sky. Once again, the Night was truly embraced him with the pain. "I had killed her with my own hands." ******* Hmm.... who was Edith? Chapter 36 - His Strong Hips! (MC) (Mature contain, Explicit sex scene! Not for underage 18. So please be wise in reading and responding. Thanks. ) **** back to Eden **** BUMP...! Alexander pushed me violently until my body hit the door. I was making a loud noise that could have caught the attention of the other occupants in this mansion, especially Jared, the old man who was really loved to eavesdrop. "Baby Girl." his voice when calling my name made me melt. Alexander locked my hands above my head. His lips kissed mine, and I could feel his pink lips again. He was sucking mine deeply, his tongue movement so sensual inside my mouth. A little rough and fast, as if not giving me a chance to take a breath. Yes, My healty mind gone, all my senses became numb. I felt that I got crazier about him because craving too much sweet scent that produced from his nape. Ah ¡­ and the sweet taste sharper and tastier when we were exchanging saliva. Alexander unbuttoned all the buttons of his shirt with the position still crushing my lips. I was silent, just waiting for him to finish his work, unbuttoned one by one. His tight muscles were visible as soon as he managed to release them all. What a sexy scene, right?! Yeah, who didn''t want to touch and feel the firm muscles like this?! I touch him, stroked from the abs up to the chest, feeling the hardness of his body. I bit my lips on the form of my adore. Then I tickled his body line down to the hips. Could I see something inside his pants? Did it as hard as his body right now? "Baby." Alexander grabbed my hand then kissed my neck. His sucking was so wet, hot, and deep, made me moan softly. "Alex," I screamed his name as he tried to forcefully tug on my shirt, sending all the buttons off from me. My two bulges made him smirk. Okay, My shirt now tore apart. Well, no problem, As long as I could feel the same pleasure from his bare hands. Alex did the same, he stroked my body from neck to chest. With his sharp nail, he cut my bra at the center precisely. Now, my body was half-naked. "Call my name, Luna!" asked him while twisting my nipples. What a damn good fingers play!! "Alex!!" I said with a seductive tone. Without waiting, He kissed my lips. We were in mad with lust and desire. Desire to be united together in one soul. "Ouch... Alex," I moaned softly. Now the kiss was slowly going down, tried to touch everything, his lips did not let go an inch. My body trembled at his passion and charm. My heart pulse was racing so fast. Our sweat dripped and blended into one. Ahh ¡­ I wanted to scream, I wanted to moan as his rough tongue played on my boobs and sucked my tits one to the other one. His sucking was more and more intense. I gripped his black hair to channel this delightful pleasure. "Come on, Luna! Be mine, my only mine." Alexander stripped off all his clothes and told me to do the same. So I did it. With eyes to eyes full of passion, we adored our partner''s body. Oh... I couldn''t say how long and hard his manhood stands right now. It looked tense and strong. Could it enter a cleft between my legs? Alexander carried my body and threw me to the bed. I pulled his neck so our bodies could give inter touch to each other. Ah... his skin was so warm, and his scents were so fragrant. "Ready or not, I''ll stab into yours," He said, and I nodded. Ready to hold his strong hips. "Argh ..." my moan sounded again as we began to unite. Yes, slowly but sure, he pushed his penis into my pussy. I could feel the hot, sore, and pain that began to attack. I held my breath, My hands gripped on his back, hot friction felt sore as he went deeper into me. Alexander''s hot breathe roaring on my ears. A few seconds later, His manhood perfectly penetrated into mine. "Argh ... yes, faster, Alex, faster!" I sighed, I screamed, I moaned, I cried when the pain became a pleasure. Ah Yes, it felt so good, damn it! I never taste a delightful feeling like this before. Alexander moaned so loud and his body was pounding more violently. Oh ¡­ faster and faster, until I screamed!! His middle finger shake my clit, suddenly a powerful pulse that tickled my pussy bursted. I felt so much pleasure that couldn''t be described into words!! Alexander smirked, than he put off his penis. He rolled my body so he could insert his penis in me from behind. Yes, and the second game began. I could hear Alexander moan, and then something warm burst into my womb. He released me, and.... . . . . BOOM!! Eden fell from the bed. Her head bumped the nightstand. "Ouch!" Eden''s face suddenly turned red, very, very red!! She had a wet dream. a very wet and hot dream with Alexander Lupo. [Thanks God! It''s just a dream!!] Eden was so embarrassed with herself. How could a girl dream a lascivious dream like this?! And her partner was Alexander Lupo. Yes, she had lost her mind! How could be she was very enjoying the sex between them?!! "WOAH!!" Eden screamed when she got up and saw Alexander was lying on the bed while smirking at her. "Tsk... Tsk... Tsk.." Alexander shook his head disbelief. Eden''s face blushed red and felt so hot!!! Did he know that Eden dreamed about them in hot sex recently?? "Since when you have been here??" Eden asked with a soft tone but clumsily faced. She hoped that Alexander did not know about her shameless fantasy. But sadly... Alexander answered... "Since you said ''Argh... faster, Alex!! Faster!!" Alexander laughed so loud. Eden was turning freeze because of her shame. "Do you want to make your dream come true? I''ll be happy to help you!" Alexander''s eyebrows up and down. "Ugh ¡­ No!!!" Eden yelled! ****** Oh... it was just Eden''s dream... LOL ???? I didn''t know how I would feel if I was Eden. Chapter 37 - Please Dont Eat Me!! A few moments ago. Alexander left Eden; he went to his study room. Kairos, Jackson, and several other betas were waiting for him there. Alexander called his supreme warriors to tell them about the wizards. The Wizards revealed themselves in front of Alexander this night. "What should we do now, Alpha?" asked them. "They can''t touch us as long the agreement between wolves and wizard still exists," Kairos answered. Alexander sat, stroked his chin, thinking. "But we don''t know until when we can hold on to that agreement. Miguel killed eight humans. And we don''t know if there is another rogue outside there." They were fussing about their fear. The Wizards were killing a lot of werewolves in the past. Nowadays, the number of werewolves is slowly decreasing. Not only because of the twisted marriage with humans, but they also couldn''t prey human-like a century ago and turned humans into wolves. (Only Alpha could turn humans into wolves by biting them.) Alexander clenched his hand when he heard Miguel, the rogue wolf, from his pack. This rogue was the one who killed his parent, the last alpha and luna of the Tourmaline pack, seventeen years ago. When Alexander was still ten years old, Miguel was his father''s best warrior. Like Kairos at this day. How could the most trusted man stab his alpha from behind?! That''s why Alexander hated Miguel very much, hated him to the bone. "Do we have to call for other alphas in this continent, My Lord?" Jackson asked Alexander. Alexander just sighed as an answer. In their last meeting, they pushed Alexander to get a Luna. As a king, Alexander needed a queen to strengthen his power. And they''d surely nagging if they knew that the King''s mate was just an omega, more worst because Eden was an ordinary human. "Don''t call them, Jack. They''ll give me more headaches." "Yes, my Lord." "Let''s end this conversation; I''m tired. We''ll continue to talk about this tomorrow. And Kai, you must train the young wolves harder. Ready or not, we must be prepared for the battle." "Yes, my Lord." "No cowards shall stand in my pack!" Alexander glared at his supreme warriors. They swallowed their saliva so hard their fear with Wizards now turned to Alexander''s dominant aura. "Forgive us, Alpha. We will never disappoint you anymore," They answered loud, bowed down their heads. Alexander left his study to his chamber, where Eden slept. The girl must be exhausted during the long day. She had a bad experience with a motorcycle gang, and her brother caused it. "Ah, you''re already sleeping, Baby Girl." Alexander sat on the edge of the bed. He smiled full of satisfy when he saw Eden''s innocent face when she slept. Her long eyelash was beautiful, and her lips were very juicy. "Tsk, Why I have such a weak Luna? is the Moon Goddess joking with me?" Alexander stroked Eden''s lips before kissing it gently. "Goodnight, baby girl." When Alexander was about to leave, Eden muttered softly. She was breathing harshly, like she did something fetish. Alexander raised his eyebrows curiously. What was this little bunny''s dream about? Alexander chuckled and chose to lay down at her side. He wanted to see a more exciting scene that draws on Eden''s red face. "Puft... hahaha." Alexander couldn''t hold his laugh when suddenly Eden moaned and yelled, "Argh... faster, Alex, faster." "Are you dreaming about us, Baby girl?" Alexander monologue. But, suddenly, Eden fell and bumped onto the nightstand. Alexander flinched; he couldn''t help but laugh louder when he saw Eden dumbfounded with his existence. "Since when you have been here??" Eden asked with a soft tone but clumsily faced. She hoped that Alexander did not know about her shameless fantasy. Alexander answered... "Since you said ''Argh... faster, Alex!! Faster!!" And Alexander laughed so loud. Eden was turning freeze because of her shame. "Do you want to make your dream come true? I''ll be happy to help you!" Alexander''s eyebrows up and down. "Ugh ¡­ No!!!" Eden yelled! So embarrassed... screamed her in the heart!! Eden''s shy face looked so adorable at Alexander''s sight. Her bunny teeth bit the lips. She was dreaming about something fetish, her sight avoids Alexanders''. Eden got up. Alexander wanted to help, but Eden was Ignoring him; to be more precise, she still felt awkward with Alexander''s touch. Yeah, who didn''t feel the same after a hot dream like that? Alexander grabbed her hand and pulled her inside. Eden fell to his arm. Alexander tried to hug her, but Eden struggled. Ah, don''t know how or when her body was under Alexander right now. Alexander locked Eden''s wrist upper her head, as same as the dream. "A ¡­ Alex," Eden stuttered. Her eyeballs moved to the corner, and she couldn''t see the dark eyes that were showering her full of charm. If Eden was desperate, she was afraid that her dream would come true. "I want to bite you, Baby." Alexander smelled Eden''s neck, trying to bite. His tip teeth reached the skin. Oh... the warm breathe was spoiled hers. Eden closed her eyes tightly. Was it the time? Time to release her virginity? She thought it wasn''t a bad idea, this Wet Dog was super sexy, strong, and charming at her dream. Maybe she could find real pleasure with this pervert doggo? Eh... Doggo?? Hm... wait!! Alexander said he was an alpha, alpha wolf!! No... no way she gave up her virginity to a werewolf. Yes, in a slight, Eden forgot that Alexander wasn''t human. The bite was feeling deeper in Eden''s skin. "Don''t eat me!" Eden begged for mercy! The hot and romantic scene becomes awkward. "Who wants to eat you??" Alexander wondered he was just seducing Eden by biting her lightly. "You, Mr. Werewolf." "I don''t like a thin prey. I like the fat one. I love when the fat melt in my mouth. I can chew easily with my fang." Alexander teased Eden. "What??? So you guys are really wolves?" "You still don''t believe, huh?" "Yeah." "Wanna see my wolf form?" Alexander smirked. ******* Chapter 38 - Alexander’s Wolf Form Alexander''s question dumbfounded Eden. "Want to see my wolf form?" Alexander smirked. Eden knew Alexander and his friends were always talkative about their identity as werewolves. But, like a normal person, Eden tried not to believe in this supernatural story. Eden denied what else, Alexander and his men never revealing their form as a wolf in front of Eden. (Except, Eden''s first meet with Alexander. Alexander showed Eden his claw. But Eden thought it was just a special effect of makeup to prank her.) Alexander''s lovely demeanor¡­ Oh, she means annoying acts all long the week made Eden forget he was a wolf. How Alexander treated Eden was like how humans treat their kind. "Come here; I''ll show you something." Alexander offered his palm, Eden with a doubtful accepted his hand. Alexander smiled and invited Eden to go outside. They walked around Alexander''s home. A red carpet extended through the corridor. The interior of this residence amazed Eden, marble pillars with many sculptures, Gold chandeliers, paintings, and many other luxury decorative items. "Oh¡­ your house is immense! But why is this mansion looks so deserted? Are you living here alone?" Eden asked as they looked around the mansion, peaceful and too quiet. "Yes¡­ No, I mean, no, I get alive with a lot of my men. They are living in the back of this main building¡ªa housing area for my pack member." "Huh?? So¡­ this is not a house, but a palace??" Eden was stunned. "Well, you can say that. There are training courts, preserved forest, and even a lake in this area." Alexander presented how rich he was. "It''s all yours?" "Yes, but I prefer to tell that it''s all belongs to my pack. I''m nothing without them. The Lupo family has always been the alpha from generation to generation. I had been an alpha when I was ten." Alexander folded his fingers into hers. They were holding hands downstairs. "Why? Where are your parents?" Ten years, it means that Alexander was only a kid, right? "They died." Alexander''s jaw stiffened; his face looked sad. Eden''s heart suddenly felt tortured, as she could feel the same sadness in Alexander''s heart. Was it what the mate-bound feeling looked like? "I''m sorry to hear about them, Alex," Eden whispered. She wanted to hug Alexander to share the pain and burden, but¡­ Alexander threw his sight. He tried to avoid looking weak in front of his mate. What a quiet and tense minute. Eden could not speak, and Alexander continued moving forward without a word. They arrived at an enormous chamber in the basement. The wet and cold air touched her skin. Eden glanced at the end of the room. Many portraits hung on the wall. "Alpha to Alpha. He is my dad. He is my grandpa, he is my great-grandpa, and forth." "Wow, what a complete family tree." Eden was smiling; it was so hard to know our ancestors at this complete formation. "Hey, Alex. Why was she a woman?" Eden pointed at the first Alpha portrait in the painting. Alexander approached Eden and stood beside her. Alexander looked at the face of the first Alpha of Tourmaline pack. A woman with gray hair, blue and green eyes colors. In a glance, she was similar to Eden. "Edith Grey, the first alpha. I don''t know either why she can be an alpha." Alexander stroked his nape. Usually, alpha was a man. But their first alpha was a woman. "Grey? Wow, we had the same family name." Eden muttered. "Yeah, I just realized your name is too common." Alexander had to hide his hatred against Miguel Grey -he had the same family name as Eden. "Tell me more about your kind, Alex. What are you guys capable of? I want to know more about you." Eden slowly accepted Alexander''s existence as a werewolf. "You are curious little bunny!" Alexander pinched Eden''s cheek. "Ouch!" "We are just shape-shifter creatures. Our first shape is the human form; the second is the combat form; the last is our wolf form. We are born strong and agile moves. It''s a gift from Moon Goddess. Our God, because our strength depends on the moon. The more rounded the moon, the more powerful we are." Alexander took Eden to the outside. Eden was listening to Alexander''s story about his kind. "Sometimes, The Moon Goddess gives us an extra gift. Like my Grandma, Chloe, occasionally she can see the future. She can tell fortune; she is the one who tells me about you. We''ll meet at the museum, in front of the wolf statue. And Selena has a charming grace that can catch everyone''s attention." "Do you have one too?" "Yeah." Alexander nodded. "What is it?" "Power, I was born with the enormous strength that must be contained by magic." Alexander showed Eden his tattoo, the tattoo rounded on his sturdy arm. Eden nuzzled it gently, a chain of words written with an old symbol. [When the time comes, let the power devour the darkness.] Eden could read the symbol easily in mind. Eden shut her mouth; why could she know that ancient language?? "Hey, why are you stunned?" "No¡­ nothing." Eden smiled. "OK, now time to prove that I''m a werewolf," Alexander said. Eden followed him to the outside of the mansion, on the side yard. Alexander blinked at Eden before taking off his clothes, making this girl clumsy. Eden waited at the side of the training courts, a large yard with dangerous track and ring. Alexander had off his clothes one by one and threw them to Eden. Eden''s face turned red when she saw his athletic body. Oh,¡­ his acts remembered Eden about her lustful dream. Alexander was naked; Alexander''s body shook as power overflowed through his body down to the smallest veins. A few moments later he enlarged, hunchback, and overgrown with rough hairs. Eden''s eyes opened wide. Her jaw fell when she saw Alexander''s transformation into a wolf. "A-Alex?" Eden moved backward. Her body was trembling in fear. ******* Chapter 39 - The Moon Lake Alexander was naked; Alexander''s body shook as power overflowed through his body down to the smallest veins. A few moments later, he enlarged, hunchback, and overgrown with rough hairs. Eden''s eyes opened wide. Her jaw fell when she saw Alexander''s transformation into a wolf. "A-Alex?" Eden moved backward. Her body was trembling in fear. The sound of bone cracking echoed. His panting voice made Eden feel more frightened. Eden couldn''t blink when a handsome man turned out to be a wolf, a black wolf. ... A wolf as big as a car, with black and sparkling fur. Eden''s heartbeats were faster as she saw the wolf walk to approach her. Eden was frozen. Alexander could hear Eden''s pulse and sniff her fear. His senses were more sensitive when he turned to be a wolf. The fear in her heart was denser. Eden fell backward. With a face full of sweat and watery eyes, she looked at the black wolf. Eden was very scared, and this was the first time she met a real wolf of unusual size. Gulp!! Eden swallowed heavily as the hot breath from the beast''s muzzle caressed her face. The great trembling happened again. Eden spontaneously closed her eyes when she saw Alexander''s face in the form of a wolf. Eden''s eyes were still closed; Alexander put his forehead on Eden''s forehead, trying to calm the girl. "It''s me, Eden. Do not be afraid." Alexander spoke inside Eden''s mind. Eden immediately opened her eyes. How could Alexander''s voice echo in her brain?? "This is called mind link. Only can be done by a mate when they are in wolf mode." Alexander explained the question that arose from Eden''s mind. "So you can read my mind too?! Do you know what I was thinking?? "Yup, I know you''re terrified. But that''s only happening when I turn to my wolf form." Alexander lifted his face from Eden''s face. Eden slowly raised her hand and stroked the fine hairs on Alexander''s forehead up to his nose. Not like what Eden thought; it was soft and silky. "But I''m human." Eden didn''t understand. Why could she listen to the mind link from Alexander, and why could she be his mate?! "Well¡­ I don''t understand why you''re not a werewolf either. I will find out all about you, Baby Girl." Alexander lightly licked Eden''s neck, wiping the sweat produced from her fear. "No, it''s tickling, Alex¡­ hahaha¡­." Eden laughed; she calmed down a bit and wasn''t too afraid of Alexander. "Want to go night safari?" asked Alexander. "Hah??" "Get on my back, Baby Girl. Let''s go on tour in the Lupo family property." Alexander bent down so Eden could climb up easily. "B¡­but?" "I won''t eat you, Baby Girl! How could I eat my mate?!" Alexander snorted in annoyance. Eden was no less annoyed because Alexander heard her heart''s voice without permission. "Well¡­ who wouldn''t be afraid? Just imagine, I''m with a beast the same size as a car that can devour me whole in one swallow." "Did you really think I was going to eat you just now?" Alexander shook his head, surprised by Eden''s thoughts. "Yeah," Eden pouted her lips. "Tsk, I don''t want to eat you. Come on up, let''s go around." Alexander dropped his body lower. Eden hesitantly climbed on top of Alexander''s body. Alexander rose to his feet as Eden managed to climb on his back. Eden felt shaken. She quickly hugged Alexander''s neck and gripped his fur tightly. "Wau¡­ so high, this is scary. Where am I supposed to hold on to?" asked Eden confused. Would this hair fall out if she gripped it tightly? "Just hug my neck, Eden." "Can I hold on to your ears?!" It seemed the two pointed ears were more like handles than necks. "You think my ears are bicycle handlebars?" Alexander chuckles. "Similar... hahaha..." Eden laughed. Alexander started walking unannounced, making Eden''s laughter disappear instantly. "Oh, don''t be so hasty! I''m going to fall!! You scared me, Alex!!" Eden suddenly had a heights phobia because Alexander moved faster. "Just hold on tight and close your eyes when you''re scared, Baby!" Alexander stomped his hind legs and sped forward very fast. "Alex!!" cried Eden in fear. Eden tried to hug Alexander''s neck tightly as a handle. She kept her eyes closed in fear. The cold air hit Eden''s face due to the fast movement of Alexander''s four legs. Eden slowly opened her eyes. Alexander had entered the Lupo family''s preserved forest. A forest where warriors learn to track enemies. Learn to recognize topography, learn speed, and hone their instincts to move more agile. "Wow!! Dark!!" Eden couldn''t see anything because the forest was very dark; the only light came from the moonlight. Unfortunately, the moonlight was covered by dense forest vegetation. "Why didn''t you stumble? Can you see in the dark?" "Yeah, I''m a wolf." "Wow, you''re great!! What else can you do, Alex?!" Eden was curious. "Hold on!!" Eden immediately grabbed Alexander''s neck and closed his eyes. Alexander jumped far with great agility. He jumped over the hills and landed perfectly near a lake. Eden''s heartbeat was racing so fast because of Alexander''s act. Eden turned limp, her face pale as white as paper. "Are you okay, Baby Girl?" "Of course, I''m not okay!" Eden was almost angry with Alexander, but the beautiful scenery grabbed her attention. "Wow, it''s wonderful." Eden saw a lake; moonlight reflected on the surface. The silver light was shimmering. Now Eden could see because no tall trees were covering the moonlight. Eden smelled Alexander''s scent. The wind blew it to her nose. Eden caressed the fur on his neck, so soft like silk. It''s not rough as it looked. Alexander bent down to the ground so Eden could quickly off. Eden saw Alexander''s sparkling body. It turned more glam when the moonlight shone on him. Eden realized Alexander was a beautiful creature. His existence was a wonder that had happened to Eden''s life. Eden sat beside Alexander, enjoying the sweet scent and his silky hair. Eden leaned on Alexander''s body and looked at the lake. So many fireflies fly on the lake''s surface, making the lake more beautiful. "They are beautiful, aren''t they?" "Yes, but you are more beautiful." Alexander cuddled Eden with his head. "Don''t mock me!" Eden patted his head. "I''m serious, Baby Girl. You are the most beautiful thing in my life, and even this Moon lake is nothing compared to you." Eden''s face blushed when she heard it. Maybe if Alexander in his human-shaped right now, Eden''s heart would be pounding so hard. ******* Chapter 40 - Eden’s Curiosity Once in the dusk, Alexander and Eden returned to the main mansion of the Lupo family. Jared and Jackson greeted Alexander at the edge of the practice arena. Alexander lowered his body so that Eden could get off. "Let me help you, Luna." Jared reached out his hand to Eden and helped her down. Eden accepted the offer. "Thanks, Jared." "You''re welcome, Luna." Jared grinned. Seeing his Alpha''s mate''s sweet behavior made him happy. Eden could turn Alexander''s icy heart. Now he laughed more often. Alexander turned back into a human shape. His body was dirty from running through the forest. The past few days, rain made the ground muddy and splashed mud on Alexander''s fur. "Here, my lord." Jared rushed to give a kimono bathrobe to cover Alexander''s torso. "I will clean myself. Accompany Luna, Jack." Alexander left Eden with Jackson. He was rushing inside the mansion couldn''t stand the dirty mud smell. "Okay, Alpha," Jackson answered. Jackson looked at Eden with a flat and cold gaze. Jackson didn''t seem happy and didn''t want to hide his dislike to Eden, either. True, as the alpha''s left hand, of course, Jackson wished Alexander had the best woman for being his Luna. But, looks at Eden. She''s just an omega. No, she''s much worse than an Omega. She was so weak, she couldn''t even heal herself right away. Even Omega could regenerate themselves. "Hey, you human, why do you keep sticking to my King?" he asked. "What did you say?" Eden couldn''t hear Jackson''s rude words, but Eden knew Jackson had an open hatred for her. Jackson didn''t answer. He walked to the main building. "Did you see the alpha''s body in a wolf shape? His fur shimmers beautifully." Jackson was face to face with Eden. "That''s right, so sparkling, as if he''s just taken a bath with glitter powder." Eden giggled with her parable. "Not all werewolves have sparkling skin, miss." "Eh?" Eden wondered. "Only those who have a great power are shimmering. It comes from the aura of their strength that is overflowing throughout the furs." "So Alex''s fur is so sparkling because¡­" "Right, my Alpha is a King of werewolves, and that means he is the strongest among the four alphas on this continent. He is so damn strong, Miss Eden." Jackson walked into the mansion. Eden followed behind him. It was strange walking with Jackson, not as comfortable as with Kairos or Jared. Jackson''s aura was gripping her neck. "I''m wondering, Jack. Why didn''t you call me Luna like the others?" Asked Eden. "You want my truth or lie answer?" "The first one." "Because you are incapable of being a Luna of this pack! And I don''t like humans, especially the weak ones like you." "So you don''t like me? You hate me?" asked Eden to the point. Jackson stopped and turned back to Eden. He furrowed; what an honest girl. Eden even didn''t care about the harsh words. "Yes, I don''t like you. You don''t deserve to be with my alpha." "I don''t decide it. Alexander was the one who claimed me to be his mate first." "Maybe he''s confused because of the pressure from the other alphas. They are trying to make my lord find a mate as soon as possible. And just because you have such a distinctive smell, he hastily concluded that you are his mate. Impossible for the wolves'' alpha has a weak and thin human to be his mate." "Wow, I can''t believe this. You truly hate me, huh?!" "Yeah, really, I hate you and those humans more than anything. And I will find out as much detail as possible about yourself and convince the alpha that you are not his mate!" Jackson answered in a lofty tone. "Wow, what''s wrong with humans? Didn''t you guys interbreed with humans too? I heard there is a half-wolf?" "Humans can''t be strong enough to exchange souls! If it''s just for sex¡­ once or twice, you''ll be fine. But not when we lack strength. Your weak soul will only be sucked in and eventually die of exhaustion. And can you imagine what will happen to you if the alpha is so strong, and you are so weak? Maybe you will die at the first time you make love." Jackson said something Eden didn''t know before. "What do you mean? So, you guys have sex to share your soul?" Eden''s face reddened. "Sigh¡­ is sex what the only thing in your brain, pervert girl? Our mate bound''s created by destiny, so touching, kissing, and even hugging can allow us to share souls. As long as we touch each other, of course, it can only happen after we mark our mate with a bite mark. One for eternity. Our bond of love is strong, inseparable, and so sacred, Miss. Unlike you, humans, who are so fragile, what else when it comes to feelings." "Tsk, what''s so much greater than us? You guys don''t even dare to reveal your identity in front of humans for fear of us, right?!" it annoyed Eden, that this man with glasses kept mocking humans and praising the werewolves so high. Making Eden cornered. Eden was here, not because she wanted either. She was here because Alexander Lupo left Eden with no other choice but to come and beg him for work. "We are bound by the law, Miss. There are rules we must obey. Silly pact with those wizards!!" Jackson was furious. Werewolves always held their words! "Eh?? Wizards?? What do you mean old grannies in pointy hats and hooked noses, black robes and riding broomsticks." Eden was surprised to hear Jackson''s words. It turns out that not only werewolves who live side by side with humans. There were wizards, could it be that vampires are real too?? eden shuddered when she thought of their bloodied fangs. Oh¡­ Eden, did you forget that Alexander''s fangs are much bigger and sharper? (Love is blind ^^) "No, they don''t get old, they can''t age. It''s just your imagination. Humans are afraid of stupid things like that, well¡­ but true, they''re wearing a robe." Jackson went up to the second floor at the very back of the mansion. Eden followed him and did not ask where Jackson would take her. "Can you tell me about the wizards? Why do you hate them so much? Wasn''t Alex''s power blocked by magic? Does that mean you''ve met them before?" Eden was quite curious. "Wizards¡­" ******* Chapter 41 - The Wizards And Wolves "Can you tell me about the Wizards?" Eden looked curious. Alexander said his power was pent up by magic. And Eden could read the ancient symbols at his arm, whether wizards also had something to do with Eden''s identity? To be honest, Eden now was starting to waver about who indeed she was? Since she could hear the mind link from Alexander. She was increasingly convinced that there was something different about her. Could it be true that Eden is not fully human? And if that''s true, did Eden''s identity have anything to do with her Dad? Also, his death? Could Eden find the answer to this riddle from these wolves? "Wizards are old enemies of the wolves," Jackson replied curtly. "Why do you hate them so much? Didn''t magic block Alex''s power? Does that mean you guys met the wizards before?" Eden was quite curious about Jackson''s answer. If they were enemies, why, when they blocked Alexander''s power, they ask the Wizards for help? "You know that alpha is powerful? As a child, he couldn''t control his powers and destroyed anything he touched. Mr. Alexander couldn''t be friends with anyone because he would hurt them. He even injured his nanny -badly damaged; she was dying and having trouble recovering. The late alpha was forced to summon a wizard to endure the power of his son. Lord Alexander did get a gift from the Moon goddess in the form of formidable power." As Jackson spoke, he stopped in front of a room and opened the door. "I see." Eden nodded as a sign of understanding why they had contact with a wizard. It turned out that it wasn''t because of good relations. They just had no other way to help little Alexander escape his dark days by asking their enemy for help. "Then why do you hate them? What''s the real history between werewolves and wizards?" asked Eden. The two of them entered the room. Eden didn''t care about the condition of the room. Simple and smelled damp. She was more concerned with Jackson''s story, which may be related to her identity and her Daddy''s death. "Long history." Jackson rubbed his chin. He leaned against the desk in the corner of the room -made of mahogany. This handsome man with glasses and brown hair rubbed his sharp chin. "I have plenty of time to hear it, Mr. Jackson." Eden sat on the edge of the bed. Jackson watched Eden for a moment, then cleared his throat before starting his story. Thousands of years ago, all races were still complete (Humans, Werewolves, Vampires, Giants, etc.). All still blend into one in one natural harmony. Sharing living in this vast universe. Each other turned their back away, no one attacking each other until the vampires harassed werewolves. There was a great fight, a great war that caused all races to become involved. Humans who were the weakest of all types of creatures choose to hide, not wanting to be affected. Because they knew that this brutal battle was not one they could win. Big downfall happened for the werewolves. Extinction occurred for the race of giants and vampires. Only a handful of them were still alive but in the end they were still displaced by the law of the jungle where the strong ate the weak. And until now no one knew whether the vampires and giants were still alive? (Eden waited patiently for the next part of Jackson''s story) Werewolves also only have very few left. And they chose to disappear. Then, humans formed a civilization, getting more and more advanced. They also began to learn about magic. Humans learned to hunt, shoot arrows, and also attack with magic. The existence of humans who first were in the last position began to move, they began to became the highest predators in the food chain. Especially after they had known magic and applied LUMINOUS (the power of magic) in their daily lives. "Wuah¡­" Eden was taken aback. So wizards used to be human, they studied magic to make their bodies not age and could do many other useful things. "Right. But it didn''t last long when Fenrir wake up." "Who is Fenrir?" "First Alpha who was seen after several decades had passed. He''s the alpha that made the werewolves rise against the humans." Jackson retold the story of his kind. Humans and werewolves fight. We were strong and they were no less strong too. We had the power to regenerate, and they could control magic. Werewolves and humans were in balance. But Fenrir''s death closed the success of the werewolves. Fenrir''s death meant there was no longer a strong enough alpha to lead the werewolves. And¡­ in the end humans won the war. The Wizards made us promise not to prey on the humans or change forms in front of them. We were forbidden to kill humans if they don''t hurt us first. We were forbidden to bite humans to turn them into werewolves. If ten humans die, then the Wizards would come back to haunt us again, just like before." "Oh, that''s the story." Eden began to understand why werewolves did not appear in front of humans. "Because that shity Miguel killed eight humans at once for no reason, then the Wizards came back. And even dare to intimidate us!!" Jackson looked full of anger, his hands clenched tightly. [Miguel?? What Miguel he means is my dad?? But why did he kill humans?? Dad is the kind man I knew!! He doesn''t even have the heart to hurt an ant, let alone kill a human!] Eden''s mind was full of restlessness. "If only the seal on Alpha''s hand could be opened. Of course the Wizards are no threat to us." Jackson opened the ivory white wardrobe; The clothes looked neatly lined. The clothes that Alexander bought for Eden. "Ow¡­ then how to open Alex''s seal?" "Only a mate can break alpha''s seal. So¡­" "So¡­ Alex needs a Luna to open the seal." Eden gave a conclusion. "That''s right, a strong Luna to share his soul with, sharing the alpha power in Luna''s body is the best way so Alpha doesn''t destroy anything with his hands!!" Jackson took a deep breath before turning around. Eden saw the maid''s outfit in a black and white dress like when she worked at the hotel two days before. "That''s why I don''t like you, Silly girl!! You''re weak!! Alpha needs a strong Luna, not an Omega!!" Jackson pushed the dress against Eden''s chest. "But Alex himself¡­" "Stop calling the alpha by his name. From now on you have to call him Alpha or My Lord! Because starting tomorrow, you will be working as a maid at the Lupo family''s mansion!!" Yelled Jackson. "So this dress?" Eden looked at her dress once more time, damn it!! Was this that ridiculous maid dress again?!! "That''s right, Mr. Alexander himself chose the design of the dress! Starting tomorrow, you will wear that dress to be the maid who cleans this house!!" "Eehhh??" Eden gasped. ******** Haha.... Eden will be a maid, a private maid for Alexander Lupo. What''ll be happening to them tomorrow?! Chapter 42 - You’re A Liar, E! "That''s right, Mr. Alexander himself chose the design of the dress! Starting tomorrow, you will wear that dress to be the maid who cleans this house!!" "Eehhh??" Eden gasped. Became a maid? For five bucks an hour! Tyranny! "And this is your room while you stay in this pack. Jared, the old man, will teach you all your job while staying in this place, what you can and can''t do. What time do you have to get up and what time can you eat, etc." Jackson took the notebook and explained all the rules in the pack. Eden gaped at that. The pack rules were stringent, stifling than staying at the in-laws'' house. "Why does it feel like living in a dormitory? Can''t I leave the house after my work hours end? I still have to go to school in the morning!" Eden protested, her cute face wrinkled. "Alpha allowed you to go to school. I''ll have Maxi drop you off in the morning and pick you up at noon!" Jackson fixed his dropping glasses. "But I have my own house. How about my family?? I can''t leave them." Eden was still looking for an excuse to return home because she was worried about Vica''s condition. Had the woman returned home by now? "Family? You call the person who sold you to the thugs a family?" Jackson''s voice rose again, and this man felt that Eden was so stupid. How many times she had been beaten and even cheated, but still loves her broken family. "But, I need to..." "It''s almost morning. Get ready to go to school. Once home, Mr. Jared will teach you how to work in this place. We''ll talk about your contract later when Alpha is back from work. We will talk about your day off, salary, and bonuses in the work agreement." Jackson closed his agenda book and left Eden''s room. Stepping at the door frame, Jackson said, "Don''t try to seduce Alpha!! Until I can prove who you are, Silly Girl! So, you better stop confusing our Alpha and think of you as his Luna. You''re just an Omega! You don''t deserve to be my Luna!" "Yeah¡­ yeah, You Fussy Wolfy!" Eden muttered. Eden stuck out her tongue in annoyance at Jackson''s annoying attitude. Who was made the wet dog confused?? Instead, Eden became confused when they met. After seventeen years, she found out about magic and supernatural creatures. Even Eden could read the ancient rune. Now the girl doubts her identity as a human. Who was the first that should have been confused? "I''ll be watching over you!" Jackson spun around glanced at Eden. Two fingers to his eyes, then to Eden''s eyes. indeed, all of Alexander''s men are so similar to him. A N N O Y I N G! Eden hugged her dress tightly, never expecting Jackson to know she was mocking behind his back. Blam! The door closed. At six in the morning, Eden saw the dress in her hand. Without hesitation, Eden tried on the dress. Black and white dress with tassel in the chest area. A short, wide-fitting skirt, white lace stockings, and even black shoes. "These outfits are more like cosplayer than work clothes. What was the real purpose of that wet dog giving me this job? You pervert!" Eden grumbled. She threw herself on the bed. The bed was much more comfortable than the mattress in her house. Eden looked around. The wardrobe was still open. Rows of expensive clothes were there. On the other side, there was a wardrobe with various bags and shoes. On the desk, there was a new school bag and stationery. "Tch, he does really care." Eden snorted softly. Alexander had prepared everything before Eden arrived. The bad incident she experienced with Marvel made Eden a day early to come to this residence. Eden looked up at the ceiling. No, Vica screams, asking for alcohol. There was no threat from Marvel when he came home to ask for money. No sound, silence. "Huff¡­ at least I have a job now. Alexander also talks about a day off. So I''m going home on the day off. I hope Mom is already home, or I have to report it to the police station as a missing person." Eden was talking to herself. Silence for a moment before Eden remembered about her daddy. "Oh, Dad¡­ I miss you. There are many things I want to ask you. Am I really not a human?" Eden closed her eyes to dispel her own anxiety. ***** . . . At School. Eden dropped off at an inconspicuous place, a little way from the school gates. She didn''t want anyone to know that she came in with Alexander''s luxury car. They might think Eden really works as a sugar baby, swore!! Alexander only makes her a maid in the pack. "Ah¡­ thank goodness no one saw me." Eden closed her locker door. Eden was surprised when Ace''s handsome face appeared as soon as the door was closed. "Ace!! You scared me! I could die of a heart attack, you know?!" Eden nudged Ace''s arm with her fist. Ace pretended to wince in pain. Then the two laughed together. "Haha¡­ sorry, I didn''t mean to startle you. You''re the one who''s out of focus. What were you really thinking that you didn''t know I was coming?" Ace was attracting Eden, and his curiosity had been overflowing since yesterday when Alexander came to pick up Eden at school. "No, I''m not thinking about anything." Eden lied. [You''re lying, E.] Ace said to himself, he knew Eden was thinking about her relationship with Alexander. "Okay, forget it¡­ how are you doing right now? Are you okay? Are you healthy?" Ace asked again. He was quite worried when he saw Eden fall under the alcohol effect because of the thugs. "How did you know I was having a bad day?" Eden frowned, confused. Ace, wasn''t you are not there that night!!! Yeah, how did you know Ace?? ****** Chapter 43 - Can I Trust You, E? "How did you know I was getting a bad day?" Eden frowned, confused. Ace, you weren''t there that night, were you?! Then, how do you know, Ace? "Your wrinkled face is telling me that you''ve been going through a lot of bad things lately." Ace smiled. Eden immediately touched her face. Was Ace said true? That her face was so dull? "Well¡­ I don''t know what to say, Ace. It''s a long story." Eden walked beside Ace towards her class. The second-floor corridor was quite busy, with other students passing by. Now and then, the girls greeted Ace. Ace didn''t care; his focus was only on Eden. "I have plenty of time to listen to your story, E. How about we meet after school?" Ace escorted Eden first before returning to his class. "Unfortunately, I can''t, Ace. I have to go to work after school. I''m sorry." Eden replied. Ace''s face looked disappointed, but Ace couldn''t show his feelings for Eden. True, he should not be tempted to fall in love with this girl. His duty as the supreme mage was to take care of humanity, not to deal with his overflowing emotions because Eden was very similar to his late lover. The girlfriend he had hundreds of years ago. "Ah, where do you work now? Does your job have anything to do with the man who picked you up yesterday?" Ace, who was very curious, finally asked Eden bluntly. "Huh? Did you see us?" Eden was surprised. "Am I not supposed to see you guys?" Ace furrowed his brows. Why was his heart upset to hear that?! Eden''s behavior was like a lover who hides the truth about her affair. "No... it''s not like that. I don''t want you to get the wrong perception because I walk with a much older man. I only work as a maid at his house," Eden answered, explaining her job status. "a maid?" "Right, wearing a silly uniform with lace down the front. Maybe I should clean his super big house and mop the floor until it''s shiny." Eden laughed awkwardly, explaining the job of a maid to Ace. "Until the host himself, picked you up?" Ace gasped actually. When he found out that Eden was not the werewolf he was looking for, Ace had to leave the school. Stop meddling in the affairs of humans and erase their memories of Ace''s figure, the basketball team leader who all girls admired in school. But somehow, Ace still couldn''t let go of Eden, who was so similar to his late lover Edith. And seeing Eden with Alexander and Alexander''s way of protecting Eden made Ace feels jealous. "Well¡­ our relationship is quite complicated, Ace. But believe me, there''s nothing between us." Eden arrived in front of the class. Like Jackson said. Eden was not a mate from Alexander, and Eden didn''t want to make other people misunderstand their relationship even more. Enough with the relationship between master and maid that Ace needed to know. "I trust you." Ace rubbed the top of Eden''s head and left her to go to his class. Eden waited until Ace''s back was no longer seen before entering the classroom. Ace looked back. He saw Eden''s figure, who was still waiting for him in front of the class. Eden waved and smiled. Ace also returned the parting smile. [Right, Alexander shouldn''t have any relationship with Eden. One is a werewolf, and another is a human. But why is Alexander so angry when they intimidate Eden. He even abandoned the peace agreement with the Wizard and nearly killed all of that human. How could he risk the safety of his kind for the sake of a girl, for the sake of a human.] Ace thought. [ I hope I haven''t missed anything. I wish I could trust you, E.] ****** . . . In the classroom, Eden sat near the window. As usual, hm ¡­ no, now things felt different. No one bullied Eden anymore. All her classmates turned to bully Bianca. Eden stared at Bianca. Her hair was now terse, like a hair style for Men. Bianca might have had to trim it down that short because it was cut carelessly by her former gang mates. Bianca''s face also looked tired; there were bruises on the left cheek and scratch marks on the right one. Wow, they might have fought so fiercely. This sight was supposed can make Eden''s heart happy because now her enemy was experiencing the pain and shame that Eden had felt before. But¡­ Eden even felt guilty. Eden knew Alexander caused Bianca''s family to go bankrupt. And Alexander did all that bad things for Eden because Bianca had dared to disturb his Luna. "No, I shouldn''t interfere," Eden muttered, didn''t want to be the bullying victim like Bianca any more. But ¡­ Eden was looking at Bianca, who sat alone while her body shook violently with fear. Fear of being bullied again by the superior girls in her class before class starts. Despite acting strong, being tortured for so long finally made the girl''s guts wane. "use this. Your bruises will get a lot better." Eden placed the bruise ointment on Bianca''s table. Eden used to carry the balm everywhere because Marvel and Vica often beat her until she bruised. First aid before the swelling got bigger. "I don''t need your pity. Do you want to insult me?!" Bianca pushed Eden''s medicine away from her face. Eden just stared flatly and then replied, "Tsk, is your esteem really that high?! Even though now you are no different from me. We are both poor and abandoned?" Bianca turned to Eden. Both of them stared at each other for a moment before Eden finally grabbed the medicine and rubbed it on Bianca''s face. "Don''t!" Bianca was about to push Eden''s hand away. Eden didn''t care, she kept putting medicine on Bianca''s face. Eden''s conscience couldn''t see Bianca suffer even though the girl''s pride made Eden so irritated. "Don''t move too much! I have to even out the medicine so you can get well soon! Don''t let your face swell!" Eden insisted, to be honest, Eden felt guilty towards Bianca. This was a small favor that Eden could do for Bianca. Bianca was silent, no longer rebellious. She accepted Eden''s help with compliance. She suffered a lot, and Eden''s little care made her feel so much better. And the best thing was she felt no longer lonely. Instead, there was a shame because she had done something terrible to Eden. "Thanks, E. Even though I was very mean to you. But you still want to help me. I don''t know what else to say but sorry. I''m really sorry." Bianca lowered her head in shame as she recalled the memories of the two of them''s past. Bianca often bullied Eden, and now she is in Eden''s position. "Forget it. It''s all in the past. I''m sorry too." Eden took a deep breath before returning to her seat. She apologized because Alexander really went too far in punishing someone. [I''ll talk to Alex later.] Eden looked out the window again. Bianca lowered her head and sobbed quietly. The awkwardness continued until the first class started. Mr. Timothy came in. The first semester was over, and the semester break was about to come. He announced in a loud voice, "we will go on a field trip, a kind of summer camp for three days and two nights in the wild, bonfire, BBQ party, while getting acquainted. Feel the fun of sleeping in a tent. A required program for class XII students, and an additional program for class X and XI students." [Must be fun, and Ace is there too.] Eden thought. "Hurray!!" Everyone cheered. Only Eden was silent. Now she had a steady job that she could not leave without Alexander''s permission. Eh ... unknowingly, Alexander today had a hand in her life. "Because this event is not required for class XI, you have to get permission from your parents if you want to participate. Camp equipment will be provided when we depart later. We will be one with nature!" "Yes, Sir!!" Exclaimed all the second graders in unison with shining happy faces. Only Eden and Bianca didn''t. For Bianca because she had no money, if for Eden. It was because she had no other guardian besides Alexander at this time. Mr. Timothy handed out a permit sheet that had to be signed by the parents. Eden read it and bit her lip anxiously. "Oh, I wish Alexander would let me!" Eden gave a long snort. . . . But... when she came home. "No! I won''t let you get out of my sight for even a second!!" Alexander immediately refused as soon as Eden asked him. Even her thin lips hadn''t finished saying the summer camp permission yet. "Why? It''s a school trip, you know!!" "The letter said that is Just an additional activity for second grade. So It''s okay if you do not go, right?" "Alex!" Eden yelled, protested. ****** Hi dear readers. Thank you for reading My book. I hope you guys support the love story between alpha and omega by voting and sharing this book. Leave comments. I love to read your comments.. It means a lot to me. Chapter 44 - Eden’s Strategies. Moments before. Eden walked lazily into her room. She roughly threw her school bag on the table and then slammed herself on the bed. Why did she have to get Alexander''s permission to go camping next week? This man indeed was Eden''s boss, but that didn''t mean he could control Eden''s life. "But, even though I don''t need his signature, I still have to get leave from him." Eden stared at the ceiling, busy daydreaming about what strategy she would use to get permission for three days of leave. Knock ... Knock ... Sound of knocking door. A knock on the door made Eden stop her daydreaming. "Who?" Eden got up. "It''s me, Jared, Luna. I''ll teach you how to clean the house." Jared replied with a loud voice, so Eden could hear him because there was a door between them. "Oh, okay." Eden rushed to tidy up herself. "Please change into the maid dress as Mr. Alexander wishes." Jared told her. "O¡­ OK." Not long after, Eden came out of her room in a black and white dress, white lace stockings up to the thighs, white hair band, and black shoes. Eden felt embarrassed when she wore a maid dress with a skirt above her knees. Why did she have to wear it to work, isn''t wearing this kind of dress makes her so hard to move around? "You look charming, Luna." Jared stifled a laugh, not wanting to offend Eden. Eden sighed, She knew how silly she was now. "Am I the only maid who wears silly clothes like this??" Eden spun in front of the mirror, examining her overly sexy appearance. "Because of you, Alpha asked all of us to wear those maid outfits including the male maids." Jared almost cried when he remembered being forced to wear the same clothes as Eden this morning. Luckily, Alexander was nauseous when he saw the leg hairs of all his male servants breaking through the lace stockings. They returned to wearing suits as usual while the dress was only worn by the female maids. "Hah?? Haha!!" Eden gaped, she couldn''t help but laugh with pity hearing Jared''s story. Alexander made all the servants wear the same clothes as hers. How funny he was. "All right, Luna. Let me show you what to do." Jared took Eden to Alexander''s room. The room was very spacious, Eden remembered what she experienced last night in that room, her hot passionate dream with Alexander. And also when they bathe together in the bathroom. Oh, remembering that made Eden''s face red and hot. "Are you listening to me, Luna?" Jared had spoken at length, but Eden was daydreaming about something else. "Ah, yes¡­ I heard it!" Eden stammered. She lied. "You are only in charge of cleaning Alpha''s private rooms and his study. You also have to serve Mr. Alexander to eat and do whatever he orders. Three to Nine, that''s your working hours, Luna." "You mean I became his private maid?" Eden slapped her forehead, now she knew Alexander''s trick, and why did he made her work for him?! "Yes." Jared just nodded slowly while giggling excitedly at Eden''s behavior. How not? When the other women in the pack were fighting for the alpha''s heart and were willing to sleep with him only for a onetime. Opposite of them, Eden desperately rejected the Alpha. [That wet dog wants to keep sticking to me, huh?] Eden grumbled in her heart. "Is there anything else you want to ask, Luna?" Jared asked. "Don''t call me Luna, Uncle Jared. Just call me Eden. All the other maids will hate me because I''m not Alpha''s mate but has a lots of conveniences, please, treat me like others." Eden asked. "Very well, Miss Eden." "So where to start?" "How about cleaning up the study? Alpha will be home soon. Make sure the desk is always tidy." Jared smiled. "OK. I''ll get some cleaning tools." Eden prepared to work with passion! "Good job, miss." Jared nodded his head and left Eden to work. . . . Alexander''s working room. Eden vacuumed the beautiful rug. There was earphone stuck in her ears. Her tiny lips whistled as her hips swayed to the rhythm of the song she was playing. Her skirt waved up when she danced. from the entrance door, Alexander who just come saw Eden''s adorable behavior. Silently, the handsome man leaned against the door frame while rubbing his lips observing Eden''s body from behind. Jackson was waiting behind the Alpha, didn''t dare to go in without his permission. Alexander of course didn''t want to share that beautiful sight with anyone. Eden only belongs to him. [Turns out this girl has a pretty good ass. Why am I realizing this now?] thought Alexander, small hips but big round and spongy butt. Good job, Baby! "My one life for sure ¡­ let me tell you one time ¡­ oh ¡­ girl ¡­ i love you," Eden sang, one-time song by Justin Bieber. She didn''t realize that Alexander watched her and fantasized wildly about her dance. "I love you too, baby girl." Alexander''s hand squeezed her butt. "Hey!!" Eden stared fiercely at Alexander. Alexander grinned innocently. "Damn it, get your hands off from my ass!!" Eden slapped Alexander''s hand, her face was so red because of the alpha''s naughty behavior. "Why are you embarrassed, we even had a bath together." Alexander teased Eden, making Eden''s face warmer. "Shut up!" Eden snarled, Jackson, who had just entered, glanced at Eden, shocked to hear the harsh words shown to the Alpha. "You just cleaned up my room, huh?" Asked Alexander. "Yeah, you already know but still asked that! Are you dumb?!" Asked Eden back. "Hey, watch your mouth, Miss!" Jackson denounced Eden. "Yeah... Yeah... Yeah..." Eden took a long breath and went outside the study. At the door, Eden remembered the permission to attend summer camp. Eden took out a letter from the pocket of her apron. "Right, I have to ask permission immediately." Eden got up her courage and went back inside. Eden saw that Alexander was busy examining every document that Jackson gave. Eden cleared her throat to get Alexander''s attention. "What''s?" Jackson asked Eden. "Um¡­ just wanted to talk for a bit." Eden hesitantly approached. Alexander smiled with Eden''s clumsy behavior, everything that Eden did looked so cute in his sharp eyes. "Tell me, Baby Girl. What are you asking for?" Alexander said. "It''s about my working contract. Hmm¡­ Mr. Jackson said I could get a day off." Eden said while looking at Jackson. "It''s only been a day, and you''re already on leave?" Jackson reproached Eden again, making Eden pursed her lips. This guy always cut Eden''s sentence?! "Yup, you can get a day off. Sunday, every Sunday you can take a day off and rest." Alexander answered Eden. "Then, may I collect my day off and replace it on a working day? I need three days off next week." Eden asked again, this time Alexander raised an eyebrow as if to ask, why? "Because I want to join summer camp at school." Eden placed the permit letter in front of Alexander. Alexander immediately rushed to read it, a moment later his fierce face frowned up. "May I¡­" "No! I won''t let you get out of my sight for even a second!!" Alexander immediately refused as soon as Eden asked him. Even her thin lips hadn''t finished saying the summer camp permission yet. "Why? It''s a school trip, you know!!" "The letter said that is just an additional activity for second grade. So It''s okay if you do not go, right?" "Alex!" Eden yelled, protested. Jackson immediately glared sharply at Eden, his mouth muttering to rebuke Eden. He had already told her several times to call Alexander as Mister or Alpha. How could a maid call her master by his first name, what a rude maid!! Eden sighed, she didn''t want her annoyance to make Alexander''s head even harder. Eden had no choice but to seduce Alexander with her charms. "Please, My Lord! Please!" Eden held Alexander''s hand and looked at him with puppy-like eyes. Jackson rolled his eye balls, it was a very convincing acting. Alexander''s face warmed, he couldn''t stand the look in Eden''s eyes that was so desperate for Alexander''s permit, a hopefully looks. "Please¡­." Eden gripped Alexander''s hand tighter. The grip almost touched Eden''s breast, leaving Alexander out of breath. Alexander avoided Eden''s hopeful gaze. Eden didn''t stop, she pinched Alexander''s chin so as not to avoid her eyes. That two different gems were too dazzling. The girl smiled sweetly showing her bunny teeth. Eden also blinked her eyelashes coquettishly so that Alpha would melt and give her day off. Gulp! Alexander swallowed heavily. How could he refuse such a cute girl''s request? "Do not tease me. I still won''t give you permission." Alexander refused Eden. "Really?" Eden brought her lips to Alexander''s face, Well¡­ now how could Alexander refuse? "Give me permission, I will kiss you, the most handsome Mr. Alpha in the world!" Eden was seducing Alexander. Alexander held his breath, what an irresistible offer!!! ********* Thanks for reading Support the love story between Alexander and Eden by voting on this book.. Thanks a lot guys, don''t forget to vote. Chapter 45 - I’m Not Your Pet Bunny!! "Do not tease me. I still won''t permit you." Alexander refused Eden. "Really?" Eden brought her lips to Alexander''s face. Well¡­ now how could Alexander refuse? "Give me permission. I will kiss you, the most handsome Mr. Alpha in the world!" Eden was seducing Alexander. Alexander held his breath. What an irresistible offer!!! Yeah, Alexander couldn''t resist the charm of his lovely little bunny. Not as those lips continued to approach his. The smell of Eden''s pheromones began to tickle Alexander''s sense of smell and made him forget himself. Eden pulled Alexander''s tie and whispered, "only three days! Allow me, and I will kiss you." Alexander nodded spontaneously. The wolf alpha, who was so savage, cruel, and also no mercy, finally fell to his knees under the charm of this grumpy little rabbit. "Yes," Eden exclaimed. She immediately kissed Alexander''s cheek. A light kiss that was so short, just nudged, didn''t stick. Not even a second. Oh¡­ Eden was so naughty! "Only that?" asked Alexander. Jackson almost laughed at Alexander''s complaint. Jackson immediately covered his mouth with both hands so as not to laugh. Of course, he was afraid the alpha would punish him running around the forest all night long. "Yeah, I said a kiss. The place and duration are up to me, right?" Eden grinned mischievously. Today it was her turn to ridicule the alpha. "Hey!! You cheated, Baby Girl." Alexander looked very disappointed when he did not get an intimate kiss from his Baby Girl. "Of course not, Mr. Alpha. And don''t forget a hundred dollars for me. You said you would give me a hundred dollars for one kiss and a thousand for one date. I hope you don''t forget your promise, Mr. Alpha." Twice, Eden cheated Alexander. The girl put the letter back in the apron pocket before exiting Alexander''s study. "Excuse me, Alpha. Thank you so much¡­ muach!" Eden gave a kiss bye while winking. Not useless for her to think -all day- about a strategy to tame the Alpha. Alexander gaped, speechless. This was the first time he had lost business with someone, and that person was none other than his little Luna. "It seems that Miss Eden is much more shrewd than you in business, my lord." Jackson finally giggled could no longer hold back his laughter when he saw Eden''s silliness in dealing with the alpha. "Shut up!" Alexander annoyed. "That girl is getting bolder against me. It seems she hasn''t realized who she is playing with. As the alpha in this pack, I have to punish her severely!" . . . Meanwhile, Eden looked happy. She could get a permit and an allowance to go to summer camp. "I didn''t think my offer will so easily tempt him. He indeed is so perverting!" Eden giggled when she remembered Alexander''s face that was so cute when it turned red. Ah¡­never expected, that fierce man could show his helpless face and weakness in front of Eden. "Good job, E!" Eden looked happy because she had succeeded in tricking the alpha. When Eden was about to return to her room, several maids were seen talking in front of her room. They also wear the same maid dress as Eden, even though they usually wear elegant blazers, blouses, and skirts. Now, they were wearing black and white dresses like Eden. There were many servants in the Lupo family residence. The total was fifteen people, including Eden. They were divided into three work hours: morning, afternoon, and night. In one shift, there would be four to five people. This numbers excluded chefs and gardeners. The girls were standing in front of their rooms; The three were Omega in the Tourmaline pack. Varen, Sari, and Pixy. A young she-wolf who didn''t have a mate yet. Varen had fair skin, wavy brown hair, and blue eyes. Sari was slightly short with black skin, curly black hair, and brown eyes. Pixy, the youngest, had fair skin, blonde hair, and was a little chubby. They were talking about Eden. New maid in the Tourmaline pack. They were surprised that Alexander paid special attention to the girl. "Is she really Alpha''s lover? our King''s mate?" Pixy started the conversation. She heard rumors of Eden''s closeness with the Alpha from her brother, who worked last night. At that time, Alexander brought drunk Eden back into his private room. "Of course not. There''s no way Alpha would hand over his possession mark to a weak human." Sari did not seem to accept it. Eden, who was a human, impossible for her to be the mate of the Alpha. She didn''t deserve to be marked by Alexander. "What did you say? She''s human?" Pixy was surprised. She knew that Eden was very weak but never thought she was a human. "Yeah, can''t you smell it? The smell of humans! Ugh!! I hate smelling humans. They''re disgusting." Sari covered her nose. "You are indeed weak, Pixy. But, is your nose weak too?! And you, Sari, didn''t you were also born from a human womb?!" Varen patted Pixy and Sari''s heads in turn. "If I were strong, I wouldn''t be an Omega and a maid!! Ah, maybe it''s because I smelled the pungent smell of bleach while washing the sheets. It makes my nose hurt." Pixy remembered a bucket full of bleach. "That human dumped me as soon as she found out I was born abnormal." Sari was dumped in an orphanage, Jared and his biological father, who took Sari back into the pack. "Shhh¡­ she''s coming." Varen nudged Pixy''s arm to stop gossiping as Eden moved closer to them. "What are you guys talking about?" Eden stopped in front of the three of them. "Nothing." Sari shrugged. "Right, we were just discussing what to eat tonight." Pixy supported Sari''s words. "Ah, food?? That''s right; I''m hungry too. Is dinner time still long?" asked Eden enthusiastically. "The kitchen staff must be making dinner right now. If you want you can eat there. Otherwise, you can cook your dish in the kitchen. All the ingredients are there." Varen answered Eden. "Oh, all right! I''m going to the kitchen." Eden understood. "Ah, how could an Omega eat before the Alpha?? It looks like that kid really doesn''t know the rules in the pack!" Sari whispered to Varen. "Right, maybe because she''s human." "But I heard from Mr. Kairos that Alpha really likes that girl," Varen said. "Serious?" Pixy was wide-eyed. "Yes." "Wow, even though the mating season is about to happen, and I''m determined to seduce Alpha this time." Sari lowered her shoulders limp, why Eden showed up near the mating season. "Don''t dream too high! It hurts if you fall!! Even Miss Selena, who is so gorgeous, can''t touch the alpha. Moreover, a weak Omega like us." Varen laughed scornfully at Sari''s overly high dream. "Why not? In fact, that human girl is even weaker than an Omega, and Alpha likes her." Sari didn''t give up. She would try to seduce Alexander this mating season. The werewolves'' cycle in obtaining pure offspring, occurs twice every year. They would look for a mate during the breeding season, and if they had not met a mate, they could be with other wolves. It depends on the partners want to or not. "Sari is right!!" Pixy was happy too. "I will try. I will dress up and wear the sexiest clothes when I''m in front of the alpha." Sari reiterated her plan. "Don''t dream! The alpha will choose a chubby girl like me!!" Pixy laughed at Sari''s thin body. "Tsk, my breasts are no less big than yours." Sari didn''t want to lose. "My ass is bigger." "My hips are widest among us. I can easily bear a child for Alpha." Varen did not want to be left behind. The three argued. They think Alexander was starting to open up his heart and play with human. So there''s still a chance for them to get one night''s love from the alpha. ****** . . . Meat, sausage, ham, and patty¡­ Eden stared at all the ingredients in front of her. Why were all of the refrigerators containing meats and processed meat? There were beef, lamb, chicken, and pork. Almost all types of meat and fish were in the fridge. The chefs were busy preparing dinner for the Alpha and the warriors in the pack. They didn''t stop stirring the pan. Big fires burned on the stove. "Excuse me, do you have lettuce, carrots, or other vegetables?" Eden interrupted the work of the chefs. The chefs were confused by Eden''s request. They stare at the girl, who eats vegetables?? "Eum¡­ or maybe potatoes?" Eden asked again. This time she was the confused one. The confused faces of the chefs turned tense. They immediately rushed back to work. "Doesn''t anyone want to answer me?" Eden asked again. From behind, a man''s deep voice rang out, making Eden flinch. "We don''t eat vegetables like you, my cute little bunny." He whispered to answer Eden''s question. "Alex!!!" Eden exclaimed in surprise. "Looks like tomorrow I have to buy some vegetables to feed you." "You think I''m your pet bunny?!" ********* She is not a pet; she is a wild bunny, LOL... near the mating season, what''ll happen to Eden? She is in the wolf cage right now?! Thanks for reading Support the love story between Alexander and Eden by voting on this book.. Thanks a lot, guys, don''t forget to write comments. Chapter 46 - Alexander’s Punishment We don''t eat vegetables like you, my cute little bunny." He whispered to answer Eden''s question. "Alex!!!" Eden exclaimed in surprise. "Looks like tomorrow I have to buy some vegetables to feed you." "You think I''m your pet bunny?!" "Yes, My Luna, indeed." Without permission, Alexander carried Eden''s body on his shoulder. "Alex!!" Eden shouted. Alexander took Eden into his private room. Eden continued to struggle while hitting Alex''s back so hard. [Damn it, my hand hurts!!] Eden complained. "How dare a little bunny like you cheat on me!!" Alex still couldn''t accept his defeat. That''s right, the Alpha must punish this sweet Omega harshly. "Wa¡­ Please put me down, Mr. Alpha!! I''m innocent!" "I''ll show you who''s the alpha here, Baby Girl!" "Ouch!!" Eden grimaced as Alexander threw her body on the bed. Alexander smirked, he untied his tie and tied Eden''s hands above her head. Eden tried to rebel by kicking Alex, but Alex was able to dodge easily. "Don''t joke, Alex!" Eden shouted, "Let me go!! Ugh ¡­ let me go!" "Nope! I have to punish you." Alexander took off his shirt in front of Eden. Eden''s eyes looked at Alex''s broad chest and then down to his athletic abs. Eden immediately closed her eyes, her face red. The memory from last night''s dream came back. Hot sex that she had with this pervert wolf. Oh no! Now Eden''s heart was beating fast and uncontrollably again. Eden was unable to overcome her heart attack when Alex''s handsome face approached. Alex showed a row of teeth with fangs. This man looks savage and very sweet at the same time. His black eyes sparkled. Eden felt like her heart was going to explode. "I will eat you tonight." Alexander teased Eden. "Huh? Eat me?!" Eden gasped. Alex nodded. "Eating you to nothing left. Starting from here." Alex pointed at Eden''s chest which was lifting when her hands up by the knots. Eden''s face grew hotter as the touch crept into the slits of the front lace of her dress. "Alex!!" Eden groaned, her voice started to tremble, Alex extended his index fingernail and tore the black and white dress slowly. Eden''s slender stomach was visible, moving up and down along with her heavy breathing. Alexander looked passionately at Eden, making this girl even more embarrassed. "Then I will eat your stomach." Alex kissed the white smooth belly. "Ah!!" Eden groaned. "Please, Alpha, it''s tickling! I''m sorry." "No, my Luna. I''ll eat you. All of your body." Alexander made Eden''s thighs open. Eden swallowed heavily. Bump Bump Bump, Eden''s heartbeat sounded so loud and fast. Alexander, he touched Eden''s thighs, further down towards her butt. Eden was struggling to hold back a sigh. The rough and warm surface of Alex''s palms made Eden weak. "Finally, I''ll lick this piece for dessert." Alexander pointed to Eden''s most private area. "No!!! Please save me from this hungry wolf!! Huhuhu I''m still a high school kid! My heart isn''t ready yet!! Eh¡­ I mean, I''m too young to die." Eden rolled herself in the blanket to save herself. She was afraid that Alex would enjoy her body. "Hey! You little bunny, you''re so lively!" Alex didn''t expect Eden to be able to roll herself up in the blanket. "Please save me from this pervert wolf." Eden screamed for help. Alex giggled, so funny. "No one will save you. I will eat you tonight. Who told you to tricked a savage wolf like me?" Alex tickled Eden''s leg which was still visible. "Ahahaha¡­ no!! Please no!!! I''m sorry Alpha, I''m sorry. I beg." "Okay, I''ll forgive you, Baby Girl." Alexander rolled the blanket back, Eden rolled out of hiding. "But there is a condition." Alexander climbed onto the bed, approaching Eden. The two looked to each other. Eden with her blue green eyes, and Alexander with his pitch black eyes. Eden''s face reddened as Alex stroked her cheek gently and stopped at the chin. A small pinch managed to push Eden''s pretty face up. "What are the conditions, Alex?" Eden whispered. Alexander touched Eden''s lips with his thumb, then he replaced the thumb with lips. Warm, moist and chewy. "You must give me what is rightfully mine." After saying that, Alex returned to land a kiss on Eden''s lips. The two kissed, Alex enjoyed the scent of white lilac flower mixed with the sweetness of vanilla while Eden enjoyed the citrus freshness that spread as Alexander''s tongue began to play in her mouth. "Shhh¡­." Eden sighed as Alex''s tongue started to move wildly. Alexander''s hands held Eden''s hips, in one jolt, Alex had managed to sit Eden''s tiny body on his lap. Their lips were still tightly pressed together, sharing saliva. Alexander rubbed Eden''s back. Eden also put her tied hands around Alexander''s neck. Eden was annoyed with herself who really enjoyed Alex''s kiss. Eden should have refused Alex''s kiss instead of repaying his crush wildly like this. Oh¡­ Did Eden forget that this handsome man once turned into such a big wolf? They weren''t a couple, and didn''t Eden dislike Alex? Didn''t Eden hate him for continuing to interfere with her life lately?? Then, Ace?? What about her idol at school? Didn''t Eden love Ace? right, human should marry human. Eden should have removed her lips from Alex''s. But¡­ couldn''t, Eden couldn''t let it go. This kiss was so intoxicating, Eden was so addicted to the sweet taste. Eden was not willing to let him go until Alexander stops his kiss. "My Luna." Alexander hugged Eden, his nose inhaling deeply the pheromone on Eden''s shoulder. Eden moaned softy when Alexander tried to bite hers. Alex remembered the blood that dripped on Eden''s wrist before. Eden couldn''t regenerate herself. Alex stopped to bite Eden''s shoulder, replacing it with a light kiss. "What vegetables do you like? I''ll have Jared buy it tomorrow." Alexander untied Eden''s wrist. "I like all food, I also like fruit." Eden rubbed her reddened wrist. "Sorry, it hurts, huh?" Alexander kissed Eden''s wrist. Again, this man showed his soft side to Eden, only to Eden. "A bit." Eden cared more about her torn dress. Her plumpy breast was visible. "It''s already torn, why don''t you take it off at once?" Alex helped Eden to undress. "Alex!!" Eden glared fiercely. Alexander laughed, he pinched Eden''s cheek affectionately until the girl winced in pain. Why was this alpha so annoying? "Bathe me, Baby Girl! I''m tired, need a warm bathe and soft friction." "Hah?? No, Why am I supposed to do that? Am I your nanny?" "But that is your job as my personal maid." "What??" "Stand up, bathe me, feed me, then¡­ sleep with me!" Alexander patted Eden''s ass, again Eden could only protest through her fierce gaze. "I already paid you for that, Baby Girl! And¡­ I''ll make sure that you will work as hard as a horse pulling a chariot to serve me." Alexander lowered Eden from his lap. "Damn it! You Evil!" Eden snorted in annoyance. ****** . . . [ The Tree of Life ] Ace opened the white hood, he looked at the thousands of bloodstones hanging on the tree branch. The sound of the bloodstone clinking when it was blowing by the wind sounded melodious. Thousands of wizards died facing werewolves nearly a thousand years ago. Even though they won, the victims who died were so many. Their soul came back to this tree. Ace stroked the trunk of the tree of life from the middle to the bottom. There''s AE''s initials engraved on it. Ace keeps the writing alive even though it''s been a thousand years. It means Ace and Edith. "Edith. Are you mocking me from up there??" Ace saw thousands of wizards'' necklace pendants. Sometimes the red pendant reflects the moonlight. Why mocking? Because after Ace struggled to forget Edith and their beautiful memories. A girl named Eden appears who has the same face as Edith. Exactly the same, even down to the color of her eyes. "Are you happy, E? Watching me continue to suffer because of you?" Ace had tears in his eyes. . . . [ The Tree of Life, Hundreds of years ago ] Edith put her clothes back on after making love with Ace under the tree of life. Ace occasionally teased Edith by kissing her neck and lips. "Ahaha, don''t be naughty, Ace! I have to get back to the dormitory soon. You know how fierce Mrs Merry is." Edith wrapped her arms around Ace''s neck. "But I still miss you." Ace hugged Edith tightly, he really didn''t want to let her go at this time. "We''ll meet after tomorrow''s meeting." Edith patted Ace''s cheek lightly. "Okay, I hope, I will pass this year." "Of course, Ace. You''re a great white wizard candidate." Edith complimented Ace. "Oh, it''s strange to be praised by a much greater wizard. You can use four types of magic at once. You might become a supreme mage to replace that old man." Ace looked proud but sad at the same time. Having a much stronger lover than him made Ace not confident. "You are over praise me, Ace. Let go back, it''s getting late." Edith held Ace back to the tower. ******** Chapter 47 - Edith Grey [Blue Tower, Wizard Academy] Every year, qualified wizards would get a promotion. Those who were the best will learn more difficult magic spells according to their type of magic. Each class had five levels of learning. The light blue robes were level one to five, the navy blue robes were level six to ten, and the dark blue robes were eleven to fifteen. And after they passed all that learning, they would become wizards who were ready to serve outside the magic tower. (At that time, Ace was at level 9 while Edith was 10.) What was the wizard''s job? Be an advisor to the king. Accompany in the king''s palace and advise the king wisely. Usually, only supreme mages carry out this task. Accompany the nobility. Become a medic for war victims. Repairing damage caused by natural disasters. Keeping the natural cycle in balance. Witches didn''t interfere with human wars, disease, or prolong one''s life. They couldn''t do it because their magic would disappear once it defied God''s law. They used magic for the benefit of many people. Wizards served humanity. . . . The main hall was so big. There were three rows of super long tables with wooden chairs. The students lined up; they sat in groups according to the color of their robes¡ªlight blue with light blue, navy blue with navy blue, and dark blue with dark blue. Meanwhile, in the front row, there was a long table where the supreme mage and teachers sat. Flames burning brightly lit up the room and gave warmth. It was almost autumn, and the air was starting to feel cold. Bottles of wine flew here and there to provide drinks for the witches. Countless bread, meats, and other foods filled the table¡ªdinner before class promotion. Ace kept stealing glances at Edith. His beloved girl was busy tasting all the sweets until her eyes sparkled with joy. Her beautiful face made Ace choose to forget his plate and fascinated in watching Edith. Edith Grey was a farmer''s daughter from a small village near the capital. She had long wavy grey hair beautiful eyes with different eyes color. Blue and Green. She had a pointed nose and two dimples on each side of her cheeks. She was such a lovely girl. Ting! Ting! Ting! Xavier, the supreme mage at the time, rose from his seat. He lightly hit the glass with a silver spoon to find the focus of his students. His face was so modest. His hair and long beard were long and white. Even though he can''t age, Xavier still changes his face to be old. He wanted to tell the wizards to stay humble and wise because without magic, they were just ordinary human who could age and die. "Good afternoon, my dear students in wizard academy. Today we gather at this place to evaluate our one year of learning as magicians. The best wizards were born in the middle of this hall and put LUMINOUS to good use for the benefit of many." Xavier had managed to make all eyes stare in awe at him. "Are you ready to listen to anyone who leveled up this time?" Xavier asked. "Of course!!" Everyone shouted with joy. "Alright, from the light blue class, each level there will be one wizard who advances. That means there are five people. They are..." Xavier read out one by one the young wizards who were advancing in class. They immediately hugged each other happily. Never thought they would pass such a difficult mage exam. "Next from the Navy blue class." Xavier unrolled the second parchment of the navy blue class. The teachers had given the conclusion of their evaluation to Xavier. Suddenly the owners of navy blue robes immediately turned to the front, they were waiting anxiously. If they didn''t pass, they have to repeat another year of study. "There will be five people, firstly, Ace white wizard to level 10, Bazel Black Wizard to level 7, Eros Green Wizard to level 9, and Naomi Red Wizard to level 9. And lastly¡­" Xavier looked at Edith. All eyes in the hall turned to look at Edith with curiosity. Edith swallowed the rest of the sweet pastry in her mouth. She didn''t understand why everyone there, even the supreme mage looked at her like they saw a ghost in broad daylight? Ace looked at Edith, his breath caught. Would Edith be leveling up? Oh of course, Edith was a genius wizard with great LUMINOUS powers, Edith even mastered four kinds of magic. White, Black, Red, and Green. Of course Edith would level up to become a dark blue wizard. Everyone knew that too. "Well¡­ Edith. The teachers can''t teach you anymore. They say you''re too good. So¡­ starting next school year. You''ll be learning magic under my direction." Xavier returned the parchment scroll. The students immediately became excited, buzzing talked about her. Edith scratched her non-itchy head, her gray hair looking silver in the glow of the flames torches above the dome. Only this time, there was a mage who leveled up six levels at once. Graduated at such a young age and studied under the auspices of the supreme mage "What?" Ace was dumbfounded, he thought he could catch up, but in fact, Edith was getting harder and harder to reach. "Come here, honey. You should be sitting next to us." Xavier asked Edith to move from her seat in the midst of the other students to the teachers'' pulpit. Edith looked at Ace. Heavily, Ace nodded encouragingly at Edith. Edith smiled and walked forward. All the teachers clapped, greeted with applause from the students. "Ah, right, I should be proud. Right, I should be happy to see her succeed." Ace joined, be the one the loudest clapping. Edith smiled at Ace. Ace looked at Edith from a distance. Even though the two of them were lovers who loved each other, Ace felt that they were so far apart. Ace was very inferior to Edith''s strength that was so great. He never expected that The highest mage on this continent would directly educate Edith. ****** . . . [present time] Back to Eden. "Aaaah..." Alex opened his mouth wide. Eden fed a piece of medium well done cooked lamb steak in. "Are you full, Big Baby?!" Asked Eden with annoyance. She was a nanny for this big baby wolfy. "Yeah, I''m stuffed. Now it''s time to take a bath." Alexander grinned. "I don''t want to bathe you!!" "you have to or I will force you!" "Do you have to be this annoying, huh?" "Oh, don''t be so fierce, little bunny." "I have to be fierce facing a boss who has so many wants as much as you, pervert wolf." "Ah, since when did we call each other with affection like this?" Alexander chuckled. "That''s not a sweet call! That''s a mockery! You dummy!" Eden answered Alex. "Yeah ... yeah ... yeah, whatever. Let''s go to the bathroom. Looks like Jared has prepared warm water." Alexander asked Eden to carry out her duties as a personal servant. With a heavy heart, Eden followed Alex''s footsteps to the bathroom. "Enough with rubbing your back right?" asked Eden. "Yup! Rub it with all your might." Alexander took off all his clothes in front of Eden. Eden looked away. Alex took a dip, soaking in the warm rose-scented water. The aroma from the bath boom was added to relax the body. A bottle of wine accompanied Alex''s bath, along with the aromatic candle. "How long are you going to stand there, Baby Girl?" Alex asked. Eden came closer, she took the scrubbing sponge and started to strongly rub Alexander''s back. Eden put all her strength into rubbing Alex''s back. The girl wished that his skin would be scratched, unfortunately, Alex even enjoyed it. "I let you go to summer camp. But Jackson had to go too." "No!!!" "Then don''t go." "You can''t do it! You had permitted me earlier." Eden protest. "I''m not retracting my words, Baby! But I can''t take care of you there and that frustrates me." "I''m not a baby to take care of." "Anyway, Jackson has to go with you if you really want to go to the summer camp!" Alex looked firm, if he acted like this Eden could no longer argue. "I don''t like him. That man hates me so much. He''s annoying." Eden wiped Alex''s neck with a sponge. Alex turned to Eden. "How could it be?? Nobody hates you, Baby! You''re my Luna." Alex touched Eden''s chin. Eden''s face blushed. "Really, Alex?? Are you really sure that I am your Luna?" Eden''s question made Alex stop stroking her chin. Eden was right, until now, Alex''s little heart was still unsure. Actually, why was Eden who was an ordinary human being able to make him feel a great vibration that he couldn''t refuse? "Why are you silent? Are you having doubts too?" "I ¡­" ******* Thanks for reading Support the love story between Alexander and Eden by voting on this book.. Thanks a lot guys, don''t forget to comment. Chapter 48 - Gossip! why was Eden, who was an ordinary human, being able to make him feel a great vibration that he couldn''t refuse? "Why are you silent? Are you having doubts, too?" Eden asked. They were staring at each other intensely. "I''m still seeking for an answer to this, baby." Alexander inhaled deep. He pulled Eden''s tiny body until she fell into the bathtub. "Ouch!" Eden was soaking wet. "But I won''t give up on finding out the reason and making you my Luna." Alexander put his forehead to Eden''s forehead. Eden didn''t dodge. Her chest rumbled because of Alex''s words. She felt happy. The alpha felt that they had a mate bond. Although by the law of the werewolves, no human has ever been the mate of a werewolf, but by his instinct, Alex knew Eden was his mate. "I''ll have Jackson and Maxi look after you at summer camp! Or you won''t be able to go there! Are you clear with my order, baby?" "But¡­" "Are you clear, Baby?" "Sigh¡­ okay!" Eden had no other choice but to obey. "Good girl!" "Why don''t you just come with me? Why does it have to be Jackson?" asked Eden. Even though Alex was so annoying, at least he didn''t hate Eden, while Jackson, he seemed, didn''t like Eden. Alexander played with Eden''s long hair. Rolling it up, so he could be spoiled on the girl''s nape scent. "I have to go away for a week to deal with the problems that occurred in the Amethyst pack." "Oh, there''s another pack?" "Yup, there are four enormous packs on this continent. Combination of several small packs. Different from Tourmaline, which is the oldest pack on this continent. Their hierarchical structure is still fragile. Occasionally the betas still challenge the alpha to fight for the alpha position. So sometimes, there are small fights in the pack. And I have to be there to mediate on that. It''s my duty as a king." Alex''s answer dispelled Eden''s curiosity. "Ah, that''s how it turned out. Are they going to kill each other?" Eden shuddered. "Killing each other is a common thing in the law of the jungle, E. You also know we are not human. We are fighting with the instincts of beasts, not fighting with the frills of a victory trophy." "Hahaha, have you killed before?" "Killing humans? No, I''ve never done that." "If killing another wolf?" "Sigh¡­ I won''t do it if I can. But, yes, I killed a few wolves that rebelled. If they''ve gone too far, I have to punish them." "Going too far?" "For example, killing another wolves for sport. Ordinary, powerful wolves like prove their strength outside the pack." "That was terrible!" "Well, cases like that are already very rare. There aren''t many of us anymore, E." "Oh, I see. That means there was once." "Yes, even..." Alexander didn''t finish his sentence. He couldn''t say that the rogue wolf also killed his parents. "Even?" "Nothing, let''s get up. You can catch a cold." Alex helped Eden get up from the bathtub. Eden''s clothes were all wet, even though she had just changed because Alex had torn them off when they made out. "Is there any wolf in this world that live alone, Lex? No pack?" "Yes, lonely wolf. The wolves that came out of the pack. This wolf disappointed with their leader. We called them lonely wolf. But no one survives without pack, E." "Really?" "Yeah, hiding the truth that we can change is hard. It takes pack cooperation to live life among humans." Eden was silent, meaning Miguel was not a werewolf because he had been living alone with his small family. Miguel married Vica and had Eden, as a child. As far as Eden could remember, Miguel showed no strange behavior. He also never changes shape. Oh¡­ if not from her daddy from whom did Eden get the power to read the ancient symbols on Alex''s arm? Hm¡­ was it possible that Eden is a wizard? Eden was so deep in thought that she didn''t notice Alex had lowered Eden''s maid dress. Eden flinched when Alex kissed her opened shoulder. "When the time comes, I will bite this piece and mark you as mine." Alex kissed Eden''s open shoulder. Drops of water from wet hair were swallowed into Alex''s mouth, but the fresh water could not replace the sweet taste in Eden''s body. "Alex." Alex rubbed Eden''s neck and down in front of her chest. Touching the ruby ??red necklace pendant. "Where did you get this blood stone, E?" "Eh?? Blood stones?" Eden looked confused. What were blood stones? After seventeen years, she just listened that the pendant has a name. "You don''t know what a blood stone is?" Alex sounded doubtful. "Really, I don''t know. Just found out about it now." Eden gripped the pendant of her necklace. The only remains left from her dad. "Where did you get this pendant from?" "From my dad, when I was little. He said this pendant will always protect me. This pendant is my lucky charm!" Eden smiled as she remembered her late dad. "I see." Alex stopped wondering. Maybe it was just a coincidence. The stone that was related to the wizards cannot be in the hands of just anyone. What else, a human? "Can I borrow it?" Alex asked Edenz "Sory, Alex. My dad didn''t allow me to take it off, so I''ll never do it. although, only through this necklace, I can feel his love for me and our wonderful memories." Eden stared down. Her face expressed bitter. Alex hugged Eden from behind. "Sorry, I didn''t mean to make you sad." Alex also suffered the loss that Eden felt. ****** . . . [The next day.] The wind blew gently, caressing Ace''s face, who had just arrived at school. Another night had passed, but it felt like decades. Since getting to know Eden closer, Ace had to feel that his boring life is getting colorful. This young man was restless because he couldn''t fell asleep, he was unable to wait for the night to turn bright. He was unable to wait for the day to pass. He couldn''t wait to meet Eden back at school. "Ace!!" [Eden.] Ace smiled when he heard the call. Calls from the woman he missed every night. Her face, that was so similar to his ex-Edith, made Ace pay more attention to Eden. "Hello, E." "Wow ¡­ You come very early in the morning, Ace?" Eden grinned. "Yeah, I couldn''t fall asleep last night." "Oh, why?" "Because I miss you." Ace didn''t lie, but for Eden, it was just a joke. "Don''t kidding, Ace." "Hahaha, you always told that I''m joking. What if it turns out I''m not joking, E?" Ace stroked Eden''s hair. Eden''s face warmed. She was happy with Ace''s gentle caress. "How about summer camp next week? Are you coming?" "Yeah, I''m coming." "Good, we can have chit-chat there. You said you wanted to tell me many things that was happening in your life. And about your job as a maid." Ace was excited. Besides being able to look at Eden''s face for twenty-four hours, he could also hear Eden''s story about her relationship with Alexander Lupo. Ace was curious. How do they know each other? "Right, we can chatter." Eden chuckled. "I''m very excited too, Ace. I haven''t gone on a school trip in a long time. Haha¡­ it will be fun." Eden continued her sentence. "That''s right, I haven''t been on a school trip for a long time, too. When was the last time I had it?" Ace stroked his chin, thinking. [Maybe Hundreds of years ago. That time I went to kill a hydra. A mutant creature that appeared in the ocean and swallowed many ships.] Ace recalled his experience running a school picnic. His school picnics never ended peacefully. "It''s already in front of the class. See you at summer camp. Don''t forget to bring mosquito repellent. I''m sure there will be lots of mosquitoes in the open." Ace stopped in front of Eden''s class. "You speak like an old man. You''re hilarious, Ace." Eden giggled at Ace''s advice. "Well¡­ I am indeed old." [I am almost a thousand years old, E.] "Hah?" "I mean, I''m older than you." Ace corrected his words. Eden nodded in understanding. "I''m going in first." Eden said goodbye. "Okay." Inside, Eden put the permit letter on the teacher''s desk. She saw Bianca was sitting in her chair, staring the window without blinking. "Hey, are you going to the summer camp?" "No, I have no money." "I''ll pay for it, if you want." "You are as poor as me. How do you pay for it?" "I have money. I''ve been working hard lately." Eden remembered her job last night. Alex asked her to work hard like a horse pulling a carriage. Last night Alex asked Eden to sleep with him. The annoying man actually ordered Eden to stroke his head until he fell asleep. So outrageous. "So it''s true you serve as a rich man''s sugar baby?" "Hah??" Eden''s eyes widen. What was this gossip? "The entire school knows, E. A rich guy picks you up at school. With his black supercar." "Good grief. Entire school?? So, Ace also knows??" Eden gaped. [Geez. No wonder he asked me about Alex!!] Eden bit her lip. Damn gossip!! ****** Please vote and leave a comment. Thanks for reading, I''m still learning to write in english. So, please forgive me if there are many grammar errors. Love you guys!! Chapter 49 - I Think Ace Is Like You Too, E A story circulated that Eden served a rich man to earn money. This rumor was the hottest gossip in school. "I work as a maid!!" Eden denied the scandal. Okay, even though they''ve been kissing a lot lately, that didn''t mean Eden turned into a sugar baby and served Alex''s lust for money. She was just a maid trapped by the charm of her very handsome boss. "Till your boss pick up you here? Don''t be kidding, E. Everyone also knows it wouldn''t have been possible if there wasn''t a special relationship between you two." Bianca giggled. "Well¡­ you''re right." Eden leaned back against the chair. There was nothing she could do but wait for the gossip to flushed away by time. "But it''s true; I work as a maid in his house." "Yes, I believe in you." Bianca said. The two chatted while waiting for the first class to start. The classroom was still quiet. Several other students who had already come, chose to play soccer or have breakfast in the cafeteria. Only Eden and Bianca were in class. "Well, see, who has a new friend? One poor and one depress, one frequency''ll be matched as a friend. What are you two talking about? You guys look so happy?" Nina''s voice sounded loud. This girl was today the leader of the cheerleader team, replacing Bianca. She was the one who liked to make a fuss with the other girls, like a jobless. "None of your business!" Bianca replied. Nina walked over to Eden and Bianca''s table. She came with a huge man. He''s Jimmy, the head of the football team. Jimmy chewed gum while looking down at Eden and Bianca. [Tsk, another stupid cow is coming.] Eden thought when she saw Jimmy''s muscular body, typical of a football player. Eden was pretty sure this man''s brain was also made from muscle. The proof was he became a guard dog for this rude girl. "Go! It''s too early to make a fuss, Nina." Eden was lazy to respond to Nina''s chatter. What else has to fight with her. "Tsk, why are you being so brave now, E?" Nina sat at Eden''s table. "Don''t be arrogant just because now you''re a rich man''s sugar baby. When he is bored you''ll be kicked, then become a cheap slut. Nina''s arm rested on Jimmy''s shoulder. She ridiculed Eden just like the gossip that was spreading. "Oh really? You''re a sugar baby? Hmm¡­ how much should I pay for one night sex? I''ll pay for it, sleep with me tonight. I must be a lot better at satisfying you than that old man." Jimmy stuck out his tongue as aroused when he assessed Eden''s body. Eden was beautiful even though her body was thin, like a bone wrapped in skin. "Honestly, I like the petite and slender woman; your miss V must be so narrow and warm when we make love." "Bastard!! Watch your mouth!!" Eden banged on the table. The girl was annoyed with Jimmy''s words that underestimated her pride as a woman. "You''re the one who should keep your mouth shut, bitch!" Jimmy stepped forward and pushed Eden on the shoulder. "What?? Do you think I''m afraid of you?" Eden met Jimmy''s gaze. "Eden, don''t make him mad. Didn''t you apply for a scholarship for next semester." Bianca held Eden''s arm, so she wouldn''t get into trouble with these two dumb couples. "How can a slut like you get a scholarship? My parents are on the committee at this school! I''ll ask them to cancel the scholarship for you." Jimmy laughed at Eden. "Hahaha¡­ right, Honey!! She should have shame." Nina giggled. "You dumb cow!!" Eden was annoyed and kicked Jimmy in the leg. "Ouch!!" Jimmy grimaced. He looked angry. "Oops...!" It seemed Eden has provoked a cow. "Insolent, how dare you kick me."? Jimmy raised his fist to reply to Eden. Eden was shocked. The big palm swung to slap Eden. It might have been a lot more painful than Marvel''s punch. Grip! From behind, a grip caught Jimmy''s hand. A taut hand gripped Jimmy''s until the young man winced in pain. It took a lot of energy to stop this fat cow. "Don''t even try to move! Or I''ll really break it!!" A threat heard. "Ace!!" Eden exclaimed. The hero came. "Are you okay, E?" Ace looked side, tracing Eden from top to bottom, from head to toe, to see if there was hurt. If so, Ace would teach Jimmy a lesson for daring to touch Eden. "Yeah, I''m fine." "Bastard!!" Jimmy twisted his big body and took turns gripping Ace''s body. Ace was the captain of the basketball team, while he was the football team''s leader. Jimmy''s body was much stockier than Ace. Should be stronger. [Fuck! I can''t use my power to harm humans!] Ace cursed in his heart. Well, but did he really have to apply magic just against a kid? Jimmy lunges at Ace! The big body locked onto Ace''s body and pushed him to the ground. Jimmy swiftly raised his fist and punched Ace in the face. Ace held Jimmy''s hand accurately. "Is that all you can do?" Ace smirked, he mocked Jimmy''s strength, which was, in fact, so weak. "Too bad, I can''t hurt a stupid creature like you. So, I''ll just teach you a brief lesson, brat." Ace kicked Jimmy in the belly and sent the guy flying into the classroom wall. Eden and Bianca gaped at the sight of Jimmy curled up, clutching his belly. He lost in one shot. Ace won easily and even could hold Jimmy''s fist. From an ordinary perspective, Jimmy should hold the bigger potential for victory. This guy was much bigger than Ace. But in reality, Ace was the winner. "Ugh!!" Jimmy winced in pain, his stomach churning. "Jim!!" Nina ran over to Jimmy and helped him up. Jimmy got up, his expression overcome with anger. "Damn you! Watch, I''ll come back!" Jimmy threatens Ace. Ace just smiled. Didn''t reply to Jimmy''s provocation. "Wow, you''re awesome, Ace!!" Bianca complimented Ace. Eden was silent. She had seen Alexander''s strength which was far greater than Ace''s, but that was because Alex was a werewolf, while Ace...? "How did you do that, Ace?" asked Eden. "A little muscle training and knowledge of martial arts." Ace shrugged, trying to convince Eden that there was no special trick he used to beat Jimmy. "But¡­ but he''s even two, ah¡­ no, he''s three times bigger than you, Ace!!" Eden asked for an explanation, still in disbelief. "Why not? Even in film, a bad guy is definitely much bigger than the main character. They win. What if I can beat him by myself?" Ace didn''t expect Eden to suspect his skill as a magician. Ace used a little magic spell on his leg power. "But how did you know Jimmy was going to attack me?" Again, Eden was still wondering. "I happened to pass in front of your class, E. To go to the teacher''s room, I have to pass your class first." Ace answered as natural as possible. "You''re weird, E. Ace is defending you and you''re questioning where his power came from?! Shouldn''t you be thanking him?" Bianca scolded Eden. Eden rubbed her forehead. Bianca was right. Keeping in touch with the supernatural world made her brain messy. "Sorry, Ace. And thank you." "No problem." Ace smiled and left Eden''s classroom. "Ace is really a great guy. Why don''t you guys be a lover? Don''t you like him too?" Bianca asked. "Do you think Ace would like a girl like me? Didn''t you always tell me it''s impossible for a perfect man like him to like a disabled girl like me?!" Eden gave a long snort. Bianca felt guilty because jealousy always blinded her and bullied Eden. "But it seems like Ace really has a crush on you. Look at the way he looks at you, E. His eyes gleam with adored. Those are just the stares of men give to the woman he loves." Bianca replied. "Tsk, how do you know?" Eden''s face warmed. Ace was her idol all along. Eden had indeed dreamed of becoming Ace''s lover before she met Alexander. "I used to be a popular girl, E. I realize how guys look when they say they love me. And I see it in Ace''s eyes when he looks at you. So, I can bet he likes you too!!" Bianca raised her eyebrows, teasing Eden. "You embarrass me." Eden touched her face, oh¡­ it felt warm. Eden couldn''t wait to be close to Ace at summer camp. Outside the classroom, Ace was eavesdropping by using his power as a wizard. He smiled sweetly and walked back to his class. One by one, the students went in the classroom because class was about to start. Nina also entered, she looked at Eden with disgust and hatred. [Just watch out, E! I will repay you at summer camp later!] she thought. ******** hi, thanks for reading please vote and comments Chapter 50 - It Feels Different Back to the Tourmaline pack. Alexander had a fist fight with Kairos. He had not practiced in a long time, his busy work at the company took up a lot of time. They were both in combat mode ¡ª werewolf form. Their bodies were full of fur, long canines, sharp and strong nails. Alex still looked handsome despite fine hair grew around his face. Their fists clashed against each other, causing a gust of wind as the energies collided. Kairos'' bones crushed, but in an instant, it was regenerating again. He healed in an instant. But his regenerate was still losing fast with Alex''s. Before Kai could move, Alex had already jumped high, lightning fast, behind Kai and hit his back with sharp nails. Kairos'' eye wide, he dodged quickly. Unfortunately, the sharp tip of Alex''s nails still had time to scratch the man''s skin. "You''re just getting slower, Kai!" Alex reprimanded the commander of his pack. All the young wolves and warriors in the pack gaped at the fight. They were amazed at Alex''s strength. It was incredible. This man was indeed a terrifying monster. Their strong coach could be trounced by Alex. "You are too great, Alpha!" Kairos dodged Alex''s rebuke. The Alpha was a scary beast. His damage and attack power was very lethal. Kairos would fall if Alex''s slashes were cutting deep into his flesh. "Didn''t I had to told you to get more practice, Kai!" Alex ran towards Kai, Kai swiftly parried Alex''s punch. Alex replaced punches with kicks. His legs swiveled swiftly kicking Kai''s chest from behind his defense. "Kai!" a she-wolf exclaimed when she saw her mate lying after getting hit by the alpha''s superpower. "Don''t meddle, Rosanne!" Kai went up. He stopped his mate from getting into the fight. "Ask Rosanne to accompany you fighting, Kai. I don''t mind. You two can attack me at the same time." Alex didn''t mind if they had a soul exchange. "No, Alpha." But Kai refused. "Come on, Kai!! We will win if we fight together." Rosanne begged. But Kai knew, even if they attack together with the soul mate link, they will not be able to win from Alex. Rosanne''s intervention would only make the battle last longer. Alex would love it. He could use up his overflowing power without having to run through the wood in his wolf form. (Werewolves have to run up their strength so that they don''t change into wolf form at any time. Therefore, the entire herd usually uses up their energy by running in the forest once a month.) "Kai!!" Rosanne insisted. She was afraid, Kai could have hurt if he continued to train together with Alex alone. "Come on, Kai. Can''t you see Rosanne''s whimpering?" Alex smiled. "As long as you promise not to touch her, Lord. I''ll let her join the battle." Kai was also afraid that Rosanne would get hurt because of Alex''s punch. "Tch, you guys just make me jealous." Alex groaned in annoyance. He remembered Eden. The little rabbit couldn''t be invited to fight together yet. Alex also wanted to attack while sharing his soul with his mate. Feeling the bond when their souls tied closely. "How, Lord?" Kai asked. "Okay, I won''t touch Rosanne. Let''s fight, I''m still not tired at all, Kai!! This sucks." Alex had steps. "Yes!" Rosanne joined to the center of the field, fighting with Alex along with her boyfriend. Rosanne lifted off her clothes until only her underwear remained. The girl curled up for a while and turned into combat mode. She turned into a werewolf with golden brown fur like Kairos''s. Their furs glittering and glistened even more as they were together in the fighting arena. Kairos could feel his energy overflowing as Rosanne sharing her soul. A link occurred between them, making Kai''s power that had been reduced half now turned into full again. That''s the job of the female wolves in the battle, they share the soul to fill their mate''s soul. While they healed themselves, the man''s energy continued to fill up. "Let''s get started, Kai!" Alex lunged again. The speed was so terrifying. All eyes looked at Alex without blinking. They were focused on learning how to fight from the alpha. Fist fights, kicks, and even forehead attacks. Kairos was still holding on, with Rosanne by his side. Kairos'' strength was overflowing. Alex was so enthusiastic. Kairos could match his speed, and that meant today''s training would make him sweat. Alex could waste his energy!! Rosanne helped Kai, they rapidly attack towards Alex. Alex continued to dodge while parrying. He was very passionate to face this great couple. "You guys are so match!" "Thanks for your compliment, Alpha. We trained hard for this!" Rosanne replied with a smirk, her fangs so sharp. "Focus Rosanne!" Kai stopped the conversation. He kicked Alex, Alex ducked his head away. Alex threw an uppercut to Kai''s chin. When Kai was in pain, Rosanne was about to retaliate, but Alex pulled Kai''s body and made him a shield. Rosanne''s eyes widened. The girl gave up her intention to attack. Too late, Alex kicked Kairos'' body until he hit Rosanne. Both of them bounced away. "You said you wouldn''t hurt me, Alpha?" Rosanne protest. "Kai just mentioned I can''t touch you," Alex replied. "Tch, alpha was right! I was wrong. You just wait here, Rosanne! We can still link our souls." Kai kissed Rosanne''s forehead before getting up and fighting again. Kai continued the struggle to injure Alex, but the alpha could always dodge his attacks. The two of them sharpened their nails, tearing with full force. Alex towards Kai and vice versa. The air whizzed with a surge of power. "Ouch!!" Kairos''s shoulder and chest were cut so deep. He fell, the blood was rushing down, coloring his brown fur. "Kai." Rosanne screamed. She went straight to Kai. Alex was the same. He felt scratches on his arms and stomach. But quickly, the wound treated. "We lost, Alpha." Kai was panting. Rosanne helped him sit up and shared her soul faster so that Kai healed. "You guys are great fighters." Alex turned back into a human shape. All the warriors and young wolves clapped their hands in cheers for the great fight that had happened just now. "Tomorrow we will go to Amethyst, Kai. Get some rest tonight." Alex tapped Kai''s shoulder. The man had healed himself. "Yes, my Lord." ******** . . . Eden had just finished tidying Alex''s bed when suddenly a hand hugged her waist from behind. Eden gasped, those sturdy hands lifting her up easily. Alex carried Eden like a child with his athletic body. "Alex, why do you love to carry me like this so much?" Eden pushed Alex''s head, who was already rubbing her breast mischievously. Sometimes Alex bit Eden''s breast in excitement from above the lace dress. "Stop it, Alex!" "I''m tired, just a moment. Let me smell your scent for a moment." asked Alex spoiled, His eyes sparkled. Eden''s face turned red. Why couldn''t she refuse Alex''s request? "Why are you sweating so much?!" Eden noticed Alex''s hair wet. "I practiced combat with Kai." "Huh? You guys fighting?" "Yes." "Who won?" "Of course I do. I always win." Alexander laid Eden on the bed. The two of them lay down and looked at each other. Alex rubbed Eden''s forehead and down her cheek. Eden felt strange. Alex''s touch could make her body tremble and her heart beating so fast. Not the same as Ace''s touch, even though it''s warm, couldn''t make Eden feel this vibration. Wow, what happened? Did Eden started to move to another heart? "Alex, I..." "Shhh¡­. Just a moment, just be with me for a moment. There''s no need to say anything, E. Just shut up and keep to hug me." Alex came closer and fell into Eden''s arms. Eden let Alex lay his head on her chest. Alex closed his eyes, enjoying Eden''s heartbeat, which was beating so fast. While in Eden, she stroked Alex''s hair softly. "Is there any trouble?" asked Eden. "I will lead to Amethyst pack tomorrow. Maybe a week, maybe a month, don''t know yet, until the problem solve. And¡­ I couldn''t see you for a few days. It''s torturing me." Alex snorted. "I''m also going to summer camp tomorrow. If you don''t go, I''ll leave too. it''s the same either, Alex." Eden comforted Alex. "I know! Sigh¡­ somehow I don''t feel willing to let you go there, E. I''m scared something bad will happen to you." Alex sighed. "Don''t be afraid, Alex. We just went to campsite. Not to a wild forest full of wild animals." Eden laughed, "After all, there are Jackson and Maxi that you sent to accompany me?" "You''re right; promise me you won''t disappear from their sight, Baby Girl! If you don''t do so, I will pick you up myself." Alex pinched Eden''s chin. "Yeah, yeah, you are the alpha." "Now how about we shower together again? I''m sweating. I need a bathe and a beautiful girl scrubbing my back." Alex teased Eden. "No!!" Eden rejected. "Ah, stingy." Alex hugged Eden tighter and kissed the top of her head. Gathering enthusiasm before parting for a few days with his bunny. ******** Chapter 51 - Summer Camp "Don''t be naughty and get lost from Jack''s sight!!" Alexander said his advice to Eden. "You already repeated it a hundred times, Alpha." Eden snorted. She was boring listening to Alexander''s nagging. "Okay. I''m leaving." Alex kissed Eden''s forehead. All the maids refrained from being surprised by Alex''s gentle attitude towards Eden. The alpha, who was usually so harsh and very cold, could show a sweet and loving expression to this girl. "Take care of Luna for me, Jack. Take Maxi with you. He can help you track Eden''s scent if something bad happens." Alex gave Jackson orders. "Okay, Alpha. I will take good care of Luna. Save trip, my lord." Jackson put his hands in front of his chest. Then turned to Kai, "Don''t let alpha get hurt, Kai." "Opposite, Jack. They should be the ones who get that words if dare to challenge the King." Kai smiled before getting into the car. Eden sighed inwardly. Jackson was so different when he was in front of Alex. He was very obedient and didn''t dare to show his hate towards Eden even though Eden could already guess that Jackson would nag at her as soon as Alex''s car door closed. And¡­ sure enough. When the luxury car left the front of the Ethereal mansion, Jackson immediately turned to Eden. "I''m lazy to accompany you, little girl! But you know that it was Alpha''s order!! I can''t refuse his orders!! So ¡­ I ask you not to make trouble and obey! Don''t mess around at summer camp." Jackson looked displeased with the Alpha''s order to keep Eden in the eye. "What am I going to do? it is just camping!" Eden snorted in annoyance. This was camping, not a wild animal hunting event. This was a regular school event. She didn''t need to be monitored. Eden won''t hurt. Eden went back into the room to pack her clothes. She couldn''t wait to enjoy her first school trip after a long time. "We''ll take you, Luna." Maxi, a young wolf with an appearance like a heavy metal band vocalist, took the suitcase from Eden''s hand. "Thanks. But you don''t have to call me Luna. I still haven''t become the mate of your alpha." Eden refused Maxi mentioning her as a Luna. "Just call me Eden. What''s your name?" "My name is Maxi." "Max, what a good name." Eden nodded. "Thank you, Luna. I mean¡­ Miss Eden." "No need to be polite to me, Max. I''m just a servant here." "No, you have a much more important position in the alpha''s eyes, Miss. That''s enough to make me respect you." "You guys have so much respect for Alex. What''s so good about that pervert?" Eden giggled. Maxi giggled. "I am a half-wolf, born from a human womb. I''m not a great fighter like Mr. Kai or Jack. I''m just a weak wolf who my father often belittles. I can''t even turn into a wolf form. But, Alpha didn''t give up on me. He trained me to be a great tracker. After I grew up, he bit me. Alpha continued to accompany me in every second of my first transformation. When the alpha poison turned me into a true wolf, he was always by my side." Maxi told Eden about his past. "Alex bit you, and you changed?" Eden was surprised. It turned out that there was a way for Omega to become Beta. Unfortunately, not everyone wanted to feel the alpha''s poison because the process was excruciating. "That''s right. Only alpha can turn a human into a wolf. Why? Did Alpha bite you?" "Yeah, he already bits me." "And you haven''t changed?" Maxi raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, I haven''t changed." "Very weird. Is it possible¡­??" Maxi''s sentence stopped. "What?" "Ah, never mind, forget it. I''ll take you, Miss. Please come in." Maxi opened the car door. Only a true werewolf cannot possibly turn into a werewolf after a bite. That meant Eden was a Werewolf. One hundred percent werewolf. [Never expected that Alex is a good leader.] Thought Eden in the car, They went to Eden''s school. ******** . . . The lush forest along the way. Spruce trees were towering¡ªa vast lake on the edge of the woods. Mountains siluet looked wonder in the distance. Eden didn''t blink when she saw all those beautiful sights. It had been a long time since she had gone out to enjoy the natural beauty of the mountain area. A yellow school bus stopped at a campsite. The expanse of green meadows was so vast. Eden rushed off the school bus. The girl stretched her arms as she breathed in the fresh air. "She enjoys her freedom." Jackson and Maxi watched Eden from a distance with binoculars. Maxi was silent, still unable to guess who Eden was? Human or werewolf? Or even neither? "Ah, I want to sleep! Watch out, Max. I''ll take your place at night." Jackson threw the binoculars at Maxi and got into the car. "Okay." Maxi looked back at Eden while eating his favorite meat bun. Every fifteen minutes, he would lift the binoculars and make sure Eden was safe. Eden, along with her classmates, started to build a tent. They worked well together to sleep tonight without seeing the stars or catching a cold from the cold mountain air at night. "Thanks, E. You brought me here." Bianca looked happy. The two of them were busy holding the tent rope on the wooden mooring. "I''m glad you came." "Have you expressed your feelings to Ace like I suggested yesterday?" Bianca asked again. Eden shook her head, not yet saying anything to Ace. The days she spent with Alex made her forget about Ace, including her love for this man. Eden was perplexed between choosing to be with Alex as his Luna. Or together with Ace as his girlfriend. Eden was standing on the halfway line. She couldn''t decide which side she would go to. "Hurry up, or Ace was taken by someone else. Look, many girls are approaching him, E." Bianca pointed at Ace. The girls in his class invited Ace to chat. Eden turned around. She smiled faintly. From a distance, Ace who saw Eden, immediately waved and smiled. It made Eden''s face turn red. "Go there!" Bianca pushed Eden on the shoulder. "But¡­" Eden was reluctant to leave the group. They still needed a lot of help setting up the tent. "Hurry up!" Bianca insisted. Eden got up and headed towards Ace, who was also walking towards her place. "Hi," said Eden. "Hi, E. Did you have a good trip?" "Yup. but I fell asleep on the bus." "Oh really? It''s a nice view." "You''re right. Luckily I woke up when we got to the mountain''s foot. So I still got a chance to see it." "Good." "You''re not helping your class?" "It''s done. I''ve pitched the tent well." "Hey, Ace!! Little help, please!!" Ace''s friends ask Ace for help. "Hey, E!! Get some firewood with Bianca!!" Eden''s friend shouted too. "Looks like we have to split up, Ace." "Right, see you tonight at the bonfire." Ace smiled and ran towards his class group. Bianca approached Eden. Both of them got a share to get firewood. Meanwhile, Nina, from a distance, looked at Eden with a look of hatred. Her hand gripped the bucket to find water. Jimmy saw Nina''s code to follow her. "I''m going to go get some water." She said to all the girls in the class. "Okay." Nina had a sneaky idea to avenge Eden. She didn''t want to waste the opportunity to repay Eden. With Jimmy''s help, Nina would make Eden lost in the woods. Bianca and Eden collect dry branches on the ground. They explored the edge of the persevered forest. The teachers had warned not to get off the track marked by forest officers. "Is this enough?" asked Bianca. "That''s enough. Let''s go back to the campsite." Eden replied. "Alright, let''s go back to camp." Bianca stepped. When they were about to step back, Jimmy suddenly grabbed Eden from behind and dragged her into the forest. He silenced Eden''s mouth. "Hmph!" Eden couldn''t breathe. "I will repay you, arrogant girl!" Jimmy snapped. Nina smiled. "I''m going back to the tent, so everyone doesn''t suspect anything." Nina grabbed the firewood in Eden''s hands and returned to the tent. "E??!" Bianca felt something had gone wrong. Eden was missing. Suddenly, Nina came with tree branches and smiled at her. "What did you do to Eden?" "I didn''t do anything. She just came to me and left these firewoods. She said she wanted to pee." Nina handed the firewood into Bianca''s hands. Bianca stared at Nina in disbelief, but there was nothing she could do. It was getting dark. The sun was starting to set. Bianca sighed and returned to the classroom tent. If Eden hadn''t been back in an hour, she would have reported it to Mr. Timothy. Meanwhile, Eden struggled inside Jimmy''s grip. She continued to move to free herself from the man''s grip. Jimmy dragged Eden deeper and far into the forest. Jimmy only wanted to scare Eden by leaving her in dark woods. "Let go of me, you bastard!" Eden cursed. "Hehe, I will leave you frozen here!!" Jimmy laughed. Eden''s eyes widened. She was scared. "Let go!!!" Eden struggled again. The sun began to disappear. The cold made Eden''s body tremble even more. Jimmy took Eden to the hills. Unbeknownst to Jimmy, Eden''s movement made them slip on a wet tree root. "No!!!" Eden screamed out. They both fell on the hillside and curled up in the dry leaves. ****** Chapter 52 - Eden’s First Transformation The sun began to set. The sky that before was a bright blue color now turned gray. An orange glow appeared around the half sunset. Cold mountain winds began to hit the camp area. All the humans tighten their jackets to keep their bodies warm. Maxi had stopped watching. It was Jack''s turn to keep an eye on Eden. Fifteen minutes had passed, Jack raised his binocular to see how his Luna was doing. "Hey, Max. Where''s that annoying girl?" asked Jack confused when he didn''t find Eden in the entire camp area. "Huh?? She was still talking to a schoolmate before I lowered the binoculars." Maxi sat on the car top. He grabbed the binoculars in Jackson''s hands and started looking from side to side of the camp area. There wasn''t! Eden was nowhere to be seen. Where was she? "Where is she? The sun is almost setting down." Max looked up at the orange twilight sky. Soon the moon would appear to the surface of the horizon. "Tch, I told her not to mess up." Jackson picked up the spyglass and looked at the tent, who knew Eden was inside. Long time waiting, Eden did not come out. From deep in the forest, Bianca and Nina returned with firewood and water supplies. Jackson was bathing in a cold sweat because Eden had disappeared. The teachers were busy preparing dinner, while the other children were busy joking and chatting in front of the fire. They play guitar and sing the song, so cherish¡ªfamiliarity before the graduation exam for class XII. "Where''s Miss Eden, Max??" Jackson started to panic, Eden disappeared from his sight. Jackson couldn''t imagine Alexander''s face when he found out that Jackson had neglected his duty as Eden''s guard. "Alpha will kill us if Luna gets hurt, Jack! Let''s go find her." Maxi jumped from the top of the car. Jackson followed. The two of them turned into wolf forms. Maxi took a deep breath, tracking Eden''s scent before running into the forest. . . . Meanwhile, in the middle of the forest. Eden''s unstable footsteps made both of them stagger. Without Jimmy knowing, his foot stepped on a slippery tree root because of the moss. Jimmy slipped, they both fell down the hillside. Eden was falling away, rolling down onto the dry leaves very fast. BUMP! Eden''s head hit a rock and bled. Eden groaned. Her head felt very heavy. Soon, Eden fainted. The bloodstone necklace she was wearing fell off when she fell. The necklace chain broke. Eden opened her eyes wide. The blue-green eyes turned red as blood. Eden''s canines began to lengthen. The wound on Eden''s forehead closed quickly, leaving only traces of blood. The smell of dry leaves. The smell of wet soil. The smell of mountain air. The smell of blood¡­ Eden could smell it all very clearly. Snifts¡­sniffs¡­ Eden could smell faint odors very strongly. She also heard low voices that the ordinary human hearing sense could not even hear. Insect sound buzzing. The sound of forest animals. The sound of running water in the distance. The sound of the leaves rubbing against each other. "Ugh!!" Eden felt an excruciating headache. Not adapted yet with her five senses from being so sensitive like a wolf. [my child! My daughter! Come¡­ come here, set me free!] A man''s voice called out to Eden. Eden''s blood-red eyes flashed as she explored the darkness in the forest. Eden could see in the dark so clear, just like Alexander. [My daughter ¡­ child of my beloved one. Set me free!] "Yes, Father!" Eden unconsciously answered the call that echoed in her mind. Eden seemed hypnotized by that voice. Eden bent down scratched the skin of her body until it was bleeding, but after that, the wounds regenerated and healed again. The excruciating pain began to overflow. Eden couldn''t stand it. The pain burned her body from inside. Eden broke out in cold sweat. Her face was pale. "AHH!!" Eden screamed again in pain, her bones clinking. Eden curled up her body which now was covered with fine hairs. "AHH!!" Eden''s scream grew louder as her body bent down and her legs and arms lengthened. Saliva dripped from her fangs to her corner lips. Her red eyes turned golden before turning blue and green again. "AHH...!!" she moaned. Eden''s first painful transformation took place. Eden gasped. Ten excruciating minutes. Eden''s fur was pure white ¡ª as white as the first snow of winter. It was glittering beautifully. "AAAUUUU!!!" Eden''s howl was so loud. Maxi and Jackson, who had turned into a wolf form, stopped. They were so shocked by this female wolf''s howl. Who could howl so loudly than the alpha? Jimmy, who was lying unconscious, slowly started to blink his eyes. Jimmy was surprised when he saw a wolf with pure white fur staring intently at him. Such a giant wolf. Her fur shone in full with a very bright luster. Jimmy, who was first afraid, just stared in awe, could not blink just for one time. Be mesmerized by this beautiful creature. [Safe me!! Let me go, My Love!] The voice called out to Eden again. The white wolf jumped high above Jimmy''s head. She quickly ran in the direction of the sound. With her four legs, the wolf jumped swiftly to avoid roots and steep rocks. The man''s voice led Eden to the edge of the lake. Far from the campsite. On the edge of the lake, there was a cave covered with vines. The vines thrived and camouflaged the cave. No one ever realized there was a cave in this place. [Yes, Girls! Let me out of here!] The white wolf curled up, her eyes turning blood red again. Eden''s figure returned into her human form. Eden approached the mouth of the cave. She brushed away the plant closing the door with her sharp claws. Eden entered the dark cave. Eden went inside, so deep that total darkness enveloped the cave. The scent of damp and thin oxygen choked her breath. Eden''s feet arrived in the deepest area of the cave. There was nothing in there except a silver coffin. Eden stroked the rim of the coffin edge, circled it, and then stopped. Eden could read all the ancient letters that sealed the chest -well and obvious. Eden cast the spell from her lips unconsciously. After saying the magic. Eden fell faint. [Well done, my child!] A glimmer of dense darkness shot out from the gap and flew nowhere. ******** Please vote and leave a comment. Thanks for reading. I''m still learning to write in English. So, please forgive me if there are many grammar errors. Love you guys!! Chapter 53 - Wolf And Wizard [ Meanwhile, at the same time, Eden was transforming into a wolf form. ] Amethyst Pack. The sun started to set in this area. The cold wind blew. Amethyst pack was a big pack made from several packs around the southern region of this continent. In a practice hall, an alpha from Amethyst pack stood opposite of a beta. The beta dared to challenge the Alpha. He felt superior that he was far greater and more entitled to claim the alpha position than The alpha itself. He said he was young, strong, powerful, and wise. He could bring the Amethyst pack in perfect harmony. Alexander was sitting in the center of the arena. Kairos was standing behind him. Alex watched the two fighters who had turned into werewolves -combat mode. Alex would weigh in on whether the fight was legit. Nobody cheated, and if the beta who challenged the alpha loses, Alexander must punish him as a form of defiance. Alex would pull out all of this wolf''s teeth dan claws. All the pack members surrounded them. Participate in watching the match for the highest title in a pack, the alpha title. Half of them were cheering for the alpha and a half for the beta. They wished that the king would soon start the battle between two werewolves for the alpha title in the Amethyst pack. Degh! Suddenly, Alex''s heart got hurt, as if it had been stabbed by something sharp. Alexander couldn''t hold the pain. BANG!! Alexander hit the table until it split in two as a form of channeling his pain. Everyone from the Amethyst pack was shocked by Alex''s strange behavior. "What''s wrong, King?" they asked. But Alex was silent. The pain in his chest made him confused. Alex was struggling to calm himself down. Alex''s heart was beating very fast. Even he was trying harder, his heart could not calm down. Cold sweat began dripping down from his temples. Alex had never been this scared before. "Something bad happened to Eden." Alex gripped the clothes in front of his rumbling chest. "My lord, what''s wrong?" Kairos approached Alex. "Eden is in danger. How long will it take to get to the campsite?" Alex turned to Kairos. "Two hours by car." Answer Kai. "Too long." Alex''s eyes went forward, turning red as blood. The red eyes only belong to the strong Alpha. All the werewolves who were there shuddered in fear at Alex''s overwhelming aura of power. That immense power suppressed the guts of all of them¡ªa terrifying atmosphere sparked by anxiety. Alex had never felt such great fear as if he felt that his bond with Eden would be separated right now if Alex didn''t do something. "GROWL!!" Alexander jumped up and instantly turned into a black wolf. His clothes torn from the sudden transformation. The black wolf dashed out from the entrance of the Amethyst pack''s great hall. Everyone, there was stunned. The Alpha left the sparring area before opening the duel. "Alpha!" Kai exclaimed. This man didn''t want to be left behind. He turned into a golden brown wolf. With his four big paws, he ran fast to follow the alpha. Alexander was in a race against time. He didn''t want to lose Eden. Alex chose to run into the dense forest area on the property belonging to the Amethyst pack, then through the deserted streets and back into the Dark Woods. The night would cover their steps towards the foot of the mountain. . . . [ Meanwhile, either. Shortly after, Eden changed her first transformation. ] Ace was confused when Bianca returned alone. He looked around, searching for Eden. "Where''s Eden?" Ace ran to Bianca. "I don''t know either. We got back together, but on the way, we got separated. Nina said Eden told her she wanted to pee." Bianca pointed at Nina, who had just arrived with a bucket of water. The girl felt innocent about what she did to Eden. "Ask her. she must know something, Ace. I''ll report to the teacher if Eden doesn''t come back in an hour." Bianca said. Ace nodded, the young man rushed to Nina. "Where''s Eden? What did you do to her?" Ace pulled Nina''s shoulder, so she faced Ace. "What do you mean? I didn''t do anything. Wasn''t I here?" replied Nina. "Don''t lie¡ª" "AAAUUUU!!" The howl sounded loud. All the humans were wide-eyed in shock. The howl sounded very close. Did that mean there was a wolf at the campsite?? There''s no way!! This was a campsite, a wild animal-free area. "Eden?" Ace choked. Eden was still in the forest. "Everyone, get on the bus!!" The teachers advised the students to get on the bus until they ensured nothing was dangerous. "KYYA!!" Everyone ran fast, scrambling to get into their school buses. In the chaos, Ace ran into the forest. He ran fast while his hands formed a seal. His lips spoke the ancient language of a magical incantation. The light appeared around Ace, illuminating the street. "Please! Don''t let anything happen to you, E!" Ace ran. On the way, he met Jimmy. Jimmy''s eyes were dark, his footsteps slow and stumbling. Was there something wrong with this guy? Ace wanted to stop asking Jimmy, but Eden''s safety was more important right now. Eden could die attacked by a wolf. "Damn it!" Ace was running again. He formed a seal again and emitted a bright light around his feet. Speed ??up magic. The howl sounded once again. Ace quickened his pace. The voice came from the direction of the lake. Ace hit the slope quickly. When he jumped, he turned into a white wizard. He was panting. When he arrived at the edge of the lake, he saw Eden sitting limply with a giant black wolf beside her. The wolf''s tail wrapped around Eden''s naked body so the girl wouldn''t get cold. "Wolf!" Ace clenched his fists. "Wizards!!" Alex growled, showing his fangs. The two of them looked at each other with hateful looks. Eden stared blankly, her body still limp from her first transformation. ****** Please vote and leave a comment. Thanks for reading. I''m still learning to write in English. So, please forgive me if there are many grammar errors. Love you guys!! Chapter 54 - A Man From Nowwhere A wolf howl made Jack and Max stop running. They were confused, who was howling so loud?. "Quick track her down, Max." The gray-haired wolf said that to his friend. Max sniffed, inhaled as long as possible to track their Luna''s whereabouts through her scent. Max caught a glimpse of Eden''s faint scent and followed the direction of the wind carrying it. Jack ran after Max from behind. Maxi quickly stepped into the forest. The scent of Eden began to be erased by another smell. The complex of odors in the forest made the scent could not last long. Eden''s scent disappeared just below the hillside where Eden had fallen. The two of them transform into werewolf form, Max searched in the dark night, looking for a hint. "Look!! Isn''t this Luna''s jacket?" Max saw Eden''s clothes were torn. "This necklace has Miss Eden''s scent." Jack finds Eden''s necklace, the blood stone necklace. "What if it''s Luna''s?" Max snatched it from Jackson''s hands. Sniffed the necklace deeply, tried to compare it with Eden''s clothes and it was true, the necklace belonged to Eden. "It''s all Luna''s, Jack." Maxi panicked. "What''s going on, Jack? Did Luna has a problem? Was a wolf or another beast attacked Luna??" "No way, Max. This area is a nature reserve dedicated to recreation, there''s no way they can free wild animals in the forest." Jack shook his head. There was no time for them to guess about Eden''s condition. They must quickly find Luna if they didn''t want to be punished by the Alpha. "Can you follow Luna''s footsteps from this necklace??" Jack handed the necklace to Maxi. Before Maxi had time to answer, the rustling sound in the bushes made them both startled. A human, tall and big, wearing a yellow and blue baseball jacket. His eyes were pitch black, his gaze was blank as if something had just possessed him. He''s Jimmy, the captain of the football team at Eden School. "Damn it! There''s a human watching us change Max!" Jack growled in annoyance. According to the rules, they can''t change shape in front of human. Jimmy looked at Jackson and Maxi alternately, then smirked evilly. A dark aura surrounded Jimmy''s body. Something black ran through Jimmy''s veins, from the neck running down, finally spreading to the area of ??the hands. Because of the black blood, Jimmy''s fingers nail could be extended and sharp, very jet-black nails like steel. The tip nails shone under the the moonlight. "Eh?? Is he a wolf???" Maxi pointed at Jimmy''s claw. Even though his body smells like a human, why does it have claws like a werewolf? "Did he hurt Luna?" Jackson took one step forward. If the stocky boy standing in front of him was a werewolf, he would not hesitate to kill him. "Who are you?? From which pack, kid?" asked Jackson, getting into a fighting position. From the aura that appeared around Jimmy''s body, Jackson knew that Jimmy wanted to fight. Jackson responded, he thought Jimmy was just a weak boy as age as Eden. Without Jackson knowing there was another power in Jimmy''s soul at this time. "Ah¡­ I haven''t heard about pack in a long time. I''m so lucky I got out of that damn coffin. Edith is a bitch!! How could she has heart to keep me in there? I love her so much!" Jimmy mumbled, the story that only he knew made Jackson and Maxi look at each other confused. Edith was the first alpha of the Tourmaline pack. So who was this boy? Ah, maybe more accurately, who was possessing Jimmy this time? "Don''t talk nonsense! Tell me have you hurt our Miss Eden?" Maxi sharpened his nails too. "No way, she''s my favorite girl!" Jimmy giggled. "I haven''t fought in a long time, my strength is still very weak. I have to kill a lot and suck souls to get stronger." Jimmy glanced sharply at Max and Jack. The two of them gulped, Jimmy''s aura turning terrifying. His strength was so great, not lose to Alexander''s. "This body seems strong enough to fight." Jimmy saw the nails growing on his fingers. "I''ll fight him, Max. You have to find Luna! Take the necklace and look for her." Jackson asked Maxi to follow the scent of Eden that was left on the necklace. "But ¡­" "I''ll face him myself. I can''t possibly lose to this brat." Jackson sharpened his nails, he told Maxi to speed up his search. He will definitely be able to win tonight''s match. Even though he didn''t really know, who was his opponent? "Okay, Jack!! Don''t get hurt!!" Maxi turned back into a wolf and left the fighting area. He sniffed Eden''s scent and started tracking it. Jimmy and Jackson looked at each other, surveying their opponent before attacking each other. "It''s going to be a lot of fun." Jimmy laughed and jumped quickly at Jackson. Jackson darted away, he began to sharpen his nails to fight seriously. The two of them fight, Jimmy attacked first, Jackson did the same. But Jimmy''s strength was so powerful that Jackson could easily fight. Jackson was pressed, Jimmy pressed Jackson with a very powerful and agile fighting movement. "AHH!!" Jackson groaned in pain as Jimmy''s sharp nails pierced his stomach. Jackson was not the type of fighter like Kairos, but he was one of the great warriors in the pack. But today, Jackson really made no move. Jimmy beat him, ripped his flesh and crushed his bones. "Cough!! Cough ¡­ gag!!" Jackson vomited blood, his gray fur drenched in his own blood. "Ah, it turns out that the werewolves are very weak now." Jimmy laughed insultingly at Jackson. He raised his hand to kill Alex''s trusted secretary. But suddenly he felt his heart hurt. The human body would not be able to withstand the fatigue caused by the werewolf''s fast and agile movements. Jimmy''s heart was beating really fast. His throat was so dry. "Weak humans!" Jimmy cursed himself and walked away leaving Jackson dead. Jimmy looked for the river to wash his bloodied hands and quench his thirst. Jackson was so badly injured that he couldn''t even get up. His body even struggled to regenerate. The thought of death began to intimidate Jackson. "Monsters..." he whispered. . . . Meanwhile, Max continued to track Eden. Eden''s scent was so faint, Max had a little trouble tracking it down. [Where are you, Luna? please be safe! ] Max thought anxiously. Max stops at a lake, that''s where the scent of Eden ends. Max''s eyes swept across the lakeside area and stopped right at a cave. The mouth of the cave opened, as if someone had just opened it. [Could Luna be there?] Max thought. As Max stepped forward, a large jet black wolf with a glittering fur jumped to his side. Max gasped, the light brown wolf cowering in fear with the black wolf dominant aura. His red eyes glowed so brightly. "A... Alpha." greeting Maxi scared. "I ask you to take care of Eden!!" Alex growled. "I''m sorry, Alpha." The wolf''s body trembled in fear. "Where''s Jack?" asked Alex. "Jack fought a freak boy in the woods, Alpha," Maxi replied. "Go, Kai. Help Jackson." "Yes, my lord." Alexander sniffed deeply, he could feel the faint scent of Eden in the cave. Alex stepped into the cave and found Eden''s body lying on the ground in an unconscious state. "Baby!!" Alex exclaimed, he immediately turned into a human shape and hugged Eden. "Alex..." "Yes, I''m here, Girl." "My head is so dizzy. What happened to me?" Eden was confused. "I don''t know either, but we have to get out of here. You could die from the lack of oxygen and the smell of ammonia." Alex carried Eden. Eden was curled up in Alex''s arms, she felt dizzy, confused, and weak. Her whole body felt crushed because of the effects of her first transformation, but Eden was not remember it. Eden put her arm around Alex''s neck, she whispered, "I''m scared, Alex. Why am I afraid?" "Relax, Eden. You have nothing to be afraid of. I am here, baby." Alexander tightened his hug. Outside the cave, Max waited anxiously. He prayed to the Moon Goddess so that nothing bad would happen to Eden. "Alpha, Luna." Max approached the two as Alex came out of the mouth of the cave. "My necklace?!" Eden pointed to the red necklace in Maxi''s hand. "Ah, yes, I found it in the forest while looking for you, Luna." Max returned the bloodstone neckles to Eden. Eden gripped her necklace tightly, grateful that her favorite thing was not lost. "Alex, I''m cold." As soon as the necklace was in Eden''s hands, Eden turned back into a human, she felt a chill from the night air. "Find clothes for Luna!!" Alex ordered to Max. "Okay, Alpha." While waiting for Max to come back. Alexander turned into a wolf form. With his thick fur he could warm Eden. Alex rolled up his body for Eden to be warm. "Warm enough?" "Yes," Eden answered weakly. A few moments later, the white magician came. Alex immediately stood up when he saw Ace, he curled his tail to keep Eden warm. ******** Chapter 55 - Fenrir "Wolf!!" Ace saw Eden sitting limply with a big black wolf beside her. The wolf''s tail wrapped around Eden''s naked body so the girl wouldn''t get cold. Eden stared blankly, her body still limp from her first transformation as a wolf. "Wizard!!" Alex growled, showing his fangs. The two of them looked at each other with hateful glances. "Leave the girl and get out of here while I''m still being patient, wolf!" Threaten Ace. "You think I''m scared?" Alex snorted, mocking Ace. "Go away, or I''ll make your fur drenched in blood!" Ace formed a seal, his hands glowing. "Mine? Or Yours?" Alexander smirked. "Alex¡­ ugh! It''s hurt!" Eden moaned in pain. "I''m here, baby." Alex rushed to warm Eden''s body again. Bringing Eden into his big wolf''s body made her feel warm and comfortable. Ace felt jealous. He seemed to be experiencing the same thing one more time. This site was the same as hundred years ago when Ace lost Edith. "What did you do to Eden?" asked Ace. "What did I do? I just wanted to ask you that." Alexander growled. He felt great magic when he saved Eden earlier. There must have been Wizard interference in tonight''s incident. Ace looked around the lake and stopped at the cave. He felt a vast magical power just happening there¡ªan evil force, very, very evil. However, there were also traces of white magic power. "Edith?" Ace could feel the remnants of that magic, Edith''s magic. "Ugh!! Alex!!" Eden felt her body burning from within. Eden''s body had a fever. "My Lord!!" Max came back as fast as he could. Bring two clothes for Eden and also Alexander. His clothes and Jack''s. "Let''s go back, baby." Alex put clothes on Eden''s body. "AAAUU!" This black wolf howled for his pack. Kai and Jack would know Alex was back to the pack. "I won''t be fighting you today because Eden''s safety is far more important." Alex returned to his human form. He carried Eden like a bride. Eden leaned against Alex''s chest. It made Ace''s heart throb again. He wanted to hug Eden the same way as Alex hugged Her. Ace wanted to give Eden a sense of safety, a sense of comfort, a great sense of love. "Ugh!!" Eden moaned in pain. Ace looked worried, Eden''s face looked pale, cold sweat as big as a grain of corn dripped from her forehead. Eden''s tiny body was shivering with chilly, and she kept whimpering in pain. "Let me treat her, Wolf." As a white mage, Ace could heal Eden. "Don''t even dare to touch her, Wizard!! Or I''ll cut your head off." Alex was furious. His eyes were bloodshot. Eden must have been hurt because of that full magic, and Ace was a wizard. Alex would be a fool to let a wizard touch Eden. Maybe that''s just an excuse to hurt Eden one more time. "I won''t hurt her!" cried Ace. "There is a doctor in the pack who will treat Eden. I will never let you touch her!" But Alex still couldn''t believe him. He ordered Maxi to lead the way back to their car. Ace could only be silent. Twice, he saw another man take the girl he loved without doing anything because of the rules. Rules of the wizards. "I have to find out." Ace stepped into the cave. Once again, Ace formed a seal with his hand and flashed a light to illuminate the path. Ace also let out a fire to burn the bushes that blocked his way. Ace''s feet stepped up to the deepest side of the cave. The place where powerful magic appeared. What kind of magic appeared there? Why was it so thick? Was it forbidden black magic? Ace saw a coffin made of silver. Around the chest, there was a locking spell that had been unlocked. The magic sealed something dark in there. Something dark had managed to creep out. Ace was touching many carving symbols of magic runes surrounding the coffin. There were protective spells. "Edith, Why did you put so much effort into sealing this thing? What the hell is in here?" Ace got to his feet, he burned the vines that covered the coffin. After cleaning, Ace pushed the lid of the heavy chest with the help of a magical spell. "Wow, it''s heavy!" Ace pushed with all his might. Ace''s eyes widened when he saw the content inside the coffin. A werewolf body that had dried into a mummy. Edith buried him alive in there. The werewolf seemed to be dying when Edith put him there. Maybe Edith stabbed him with a dagger before burying his body into this coffin. A black werewolf with claws and fangs as black as steel. "Fenrir?" Ace paled. "So all this time, Fenrir was here, locked up in a silver coffin by Edith." Ace fell. It was certain that he made a huge mistake in the past. "I''m sorry, Edith." Ace was crying. ****** Meanwhile, at the campsite. Several forestry officers came. A wolf howl was heard twice throughout the night. The teachers were frightened. They called a special unit to deal with wild animals. The school was asked to stop activities while the officers carried out their duties to explore the forest. "Eden isn''t back yet?!" Bianca was desperately searching for Eden''s whereabouts. Bianca was afraid that something terrible would happen to Eden. It was terrifying to imagine that girl being attacked by a beast. "Jimmy hasn''t come back either!!" Nina called out to her teacher. Jimmy, her boyfriend, had not yet arrived at the camp after taking Eden into the forest. The two of them hadn''t come back yet. Did that mean the two of them were having a wrong time together? Could a beast eat Jimmy? "Hey, look who he is!!" Everyone shouted at Jimmy, who had just come out of the woods¡ªwalking through the green grass area at the campsite. Together they headed toward Jimmy. But in the middle of the road, the young man fell and fainted. "Jimmy!!" exclaimed everyone who knew Jimmy. The teachers rushed over to check on his condition. "What happened??" Why was there a bloodstain on Jimmy''s jacket wrist? Whose own? Eden''s blood?" Nina was curious, could Jimmy act recklessly and hurt Eden? . . . Meanwhile, Kairos, who had just found Jack, could only stare. His mouth was wide open when he found out that Jack was badly injured. Who hurt Jack? Who made this? "Jack!! Jack!! Are you okay??" Kai quickly grabbed Jackson''s hand and held it tightly. "Cough!! Cough!!! I''m freezing, Kai." Jack vomited blood. "Sshh ¡­ keep your energy, Jack. You have to get well soon" Kairos helped Jack sit on his lap, making Jackson feel a little comfortable. "I''m pretty badly injured, Kai." Jackson felt very weak. "Give my apologies to Alpha, Kai." "No!! You''ll survive!! Don''t act like you''re going to die, asshole!!" Kai was mad. "That guy¡­ who attacked me, he''s not a wolf, nor a human. I don''t know who he is¡­ he''s terrifying, Kai. He''s a monster." Jackson told Kai about his enemy. He couldn''t read Jimmy''s strength at that time because something that possessed him didn''t show up before they fought. "Who is he? From which pack?" "I don''t know either, Kai. He''s not from any pack. Cough¡­ cough!!" Jackson coughed up blood again. A wolf howl was heard, calling all the wolves to return. "Go, Kai. Alpha is calling. He must need you by his side." Jackson pushed Kairos. "No! I won''t give up on you. Just hold on a little longer! And if you want to die. Die in the pack! You bastard!!" Kai cried while cursing. Jackson smiled bitterly. At the crucial moment, Ace came. He approached the two of them. "Wizard!!" Kai prepared to fight. "Who attacked you?" Ace asked Jackson. Kai stood between them. He was still wearing scary fangs. "I''m not going to hurt you. I''m going to help him get better. Don''t worry." Ace made a seal with his hand. A bright light came out again. "Get out of the way, your friend will die if I don''t help him. The werewolf that attacked him has a poison that makes his body too hard to regenerate." Ace pushed Kai. Kai had no choice. He had to save Jackson. "AHH!" Jackson screamed as Ace touched his wound. Ace muttered ancient language. The bright light made Jackson warm. The wound was healing, and the bleeding had stopped. Ace thought, [This black magic really belongs to Fenrir.] "Jack?" Kai approached Jackson. "Kai. I''m fine." Jackson smiled. "He''s still weak. He needs recovery." Ace got up. "Hey, Wizard!! Are you Miss Eden''s friend?" asked Jackson, who recognized Ace. Despite wearing a robe, Jackson seemed familiar with Ace''s face. "Heal yourself before meddling in other people''s business. do you remember the man who attacked you looked like?" Ace asked. "He''s the same age as Eden. Wearing baseball jacket. He''s big and tall. At first, I thought he was human, but after fighting him, he''s so strong. His hands are spitting out black claws, and he''s giving off a terrifying aura all over his body." Jackson shuddered at the memory of his fight. "Okay, that''s enough. Go home. You still need a lot of rest. I''ll ask you again once you recover." Ace spoke a spell, a strong wind blows. A portal to the magic tower opened. "Thanks, Wizards!" Kai exclaimed. "Nothing is free in this world, Wolves." Ace smirked and closed the portal. Kai turned into a giant wolf. He carried Jackson''s body on his back. The two of them left the forest area before the humans found them. ***** Chapter 56 - Edith’s Bloodstone [Red Magic Tower, Great Hall. Center of magic.] A large room with many marble pillars. Each pillar had a beautiful crystal torch. The green flame was blooming from the tip of the crystal, which was stuffed with fire magic. Ten people in white robes were neatly lined up on the right, ten people in black robes were neatly lined up on the left, ten people in red and green robes were also neatly lined up in the middle. All of them wore robes that matched their respective types of magic. Their faces looked tense, waiting for someone to arrive. A bright flash of light appeared and expanded into a large rotating circle. A white-robed man appeared from inside, along with a strong wind. His face was handsome and charismatic, with golden-brown hair. His white robe turned silver. "We welcome the Supreme Mage, lord Ace." Everyone in robes bowed down. They were wizards. Ace''s subordinates. Now, it was rare for humans to be born with LUMINOUS. They were all the last Wizards guarding the red magic tower and humans. "What made you return to the magic tower in such a hurry, lord?" asked Bazel, Ace''s right-hand man who was called the King. He was the supervisor of black wizards. Black skin, big tall body, sharp jawline, and a scar on the left eye. "Do you remember Edith?" "Edith Grey? The greatest wizard ever born?" Naomi, the Red Wizard who was called the Queen, chimed in. A young woman with red hair, red lips, and red nails. She was an expert in creating illusions and also hypnotizing people. Her magical type was terrifying when her enemy didn''t have a firm heart. "Didn''t you kill her by yourself, lord?" Eros or Jack looked questioningly at Ace who was telling them about Edith Grey. Former vice Supreme Mage before Ace. "Yeah, I killed her with my own hands. But it seems. She didn''t completely leave this world." Ace was confused by his memories from the past with Fenrir''s escape today. Edith sealed Fenrir with a blood seal that was so strong it meant that only she could release him from his cage. But Edith was dead, so who opened it? "What do you mean, lord?" King did not understand Ace''s words. "That means Edith left a legacy, King. She wasn''t dead. Or maybe her life and memories are somewhere." Ace guessed. "But in what form? Isn''t self-replicating magic very forbidden? It''s also dangerous. Instead of being two people, she died because she didn''t manage to split." King asked. "You''re right; even a mage of my level would have a hard time splitting a body." Ace took a deep breath. "I can copy myself into so many." Queen giggled. "No joking, Queen. It''s just an illusion you created!" Eros interrupted Queen''s words. Ace only could find the truth through the past. A past he never knew. Past from Edith''s side. "Queen, can you look inside Edith''s bloodstone? I want to know all about her memories?" asked Ace. "Okay, lord. I''m going to the tree of life." Queen rushed out of the hall. "What exactly happened?" Jack wanted to know. "Sigh¡­ You must have heard of Fenrir?!" Everyone''s faces stiffened when Ace said that horrible name. "The most dangerous villain, the most powerful werewolf ever. The Alpha of all Alphas. The king of werewolves. I don''t know. A lot of people give him nicknames." Eros shrugged. "That''s right, Fenrir is a terrifying creature." said the King, "but isn''t he dead, lord?" "Have you ever found his body?" Everyone looked at each other when they heard Ace''s question. True, they had never seen Fenrir''s corpse. They were busy fighting the werewolves. They only knew the high wizards had killed Fenrir. Fenrir''s death made the werewolves give up, they fell apart and finally gave up. "Then what does your restlessness have to do with Fenrir, Lord? "Fenrir has arise, King." "What??" "The Prophecy, we are late. The prophecy of the green and blue eyed wolf that will destroy the world. That will appear in a thousand years. It seems we have wrong about one thing." Ace took a deep breath. Everyone there was buzzing and confused; what were they missing? A thousand years, they went through a long process of interpreting the prophecy. "We can only wait for the truth to come out. We wait for Queen to return with Edith''s bloodstone." Ace sat on his throne. "No Way!!!" The red-haired woman ran into the hall of the tower. Her face was sweaty, panicked. "What is it?!" King panicked. "Edith''s blood stone is missing." Queen stared at Ace with eyes full of horror. "What??" Ace was taken aback. "No way. Edith is a witch. When she dies, her bloodstone will return to the tree of life." Ace swallowed hard. "Really, lord. Nothing, I''ve looked through every bloodstone there is. None of them was hers." Queen bit her lip. Ace''s eyes widened. Without the bloodstone, Edith''s memory would never open. He would never know what memory was stored in her bloodstone. "Who steal it?? But how can we not figure it out??" said King in surprise. "Go, Jack! Turn back the time on the Tree of life. Who would dare to tarnish the holy land of the Wizards? We have to find him. We have to get the necklace back. That bloodstone will help us defeat Fenrir." Ace''s ordered, Eros nodded and invited half of the green wizards to help him rewind time around the Tree of life. It took great strength to trace the trail. The farther the time span, the more LUMINOUS needed. "That''s right before Fenrir finds a strong enough vessel to rise and bring the werewolves back to rule the continent." King nodded. "What should we do, Ace? That dark force roams out there. And We don''t know how to find Fenrir." Queen asked, her forehead furrowed deep. "I already know where he is! But that doesn''t mean we can catch him without any preparation, Queen. We have to know what forbidden magic Fenrir used." Ace had no choice but to wait for the bloodstone to arrive in his hand. "But many people will be hurt." The Wizards complained. "I will continue to be near that man and keep him from harming humans. King will help me. And ¡­" "What??" King asked. "Don''t let Fenrir meet Alex." "What do you mean??" "Fenrir will definitely fall in love with Alex''s strong body." Ace rubbed his face roughly. Suppose Fenrir came in and took control of Alexander''s body. I can not imagine what will happen when Alex''s strength seal is opened. The human world will fall into complete annihilation. "I really hate to admit it! But maybe we''ll need his help." Ace took a deep breath. Like it or not, he needed Alex''s help. "How could he possibly help us, Lord?? Fenrir is a god to the werewolves!" King disagrees with Ace''s plan. Ace was silent for a moment as the leader of the werewolves. Alex would definitely serve Fenrir faithfully. But what happens if Eden asks him? Alex seemed in love with this girl. And wasn''t that girl a human? There must be a way to convince Alex, and one of them is to ask Eden for help. ****** . . . But, what about Eden''s condition now? How is she? Eden leaned against Alexander''s chest, and Alex continued to hug her tightly while they were in the car. "Ugh!!" Eden sighed. "Faster, Max!!" Alex ordered. "Okay, Alpha." Max stepped on the gas pedal deeper. The car sped fastback into town. Alex kissed the top of Eden''s head, hoping to channel his soul to heal Eden. "Hold on, baby! I know you can make it!" Alex inhaled sincerely tried to calm down his heart either. . . . The half-hour journey felt so long because of Eden''s pain groans. Alex was so worried that something painful would make his girlfriend unable to endure. What''s more, Eden''s body was scorching with fever. "Alpha?" Jared was confused when the alpha got out of the car. Shouldn''t the Alpha solve the power struggle that happened in the Amethyst pack? Why so quickly back to the pack? Jared''s question was answered when Alex carried Eden''s limp body out of the car. "Call the doctor!! Hurry up!!" Alex ordered. "Okay, Alpha." Jared ran frantically to the nearest intercom. He called the family doctor, one of the betas who lived in the back building. "What happened, Max?" Jared wanted to know. The old man looked very worried about Eden''s condition. "Luna fainted in the cave. As soon as she came out, her body was hot, and she complained all over her body was in ache." Max was no less worried. "Did someone attack Luna?" "No, that''s precisely why Alpha is so curious." Max took a deep breath. While conversing, Max and Jared continued to walk behind Alexander into the room. "Is the doctor not here yet?" "Not yet, Alpha." "Damn it!! Is he going to make me wait??" Alex looked impatient. Eden''s weak condition made Alex''s heart sad. ******* Chapter 57 - I Have Become An Alpha "I''m thirsty, Alex." Eden muttered, her throat was dry and burning. "Drink this, Baby." Alex helped Eden held the glass. "Cough! cough!" "Easy, Baby girl!" Alex patted Eden back to calm her choke. Alex drank the water and kissed Eden. He helped her woman to gulp the water from his mouth slowly. Her eyebrows furrowed when the water spread inside her mouth. A few seconds later, Eden could feel the freshness of the cold water wet her dry throat, so relieved. Like the snow fell on the Sahara. "Thanks, Alex." "Where is the doctor? Is he dare to make me wait?" Shouted Alex mad. Jared gasped, "I''ll called them by myself, Lord!" he rushed to leave. But, When Jared had already pushed the handle door. the doctor came. "I''m sorry, alpha. in the middle of my way here. Mr. Kai arrived with Mr. Jack and, Mr. Jack was severely injured. The bleeding had stopped, but his body was frail due to the lack of blood. So I give him a blood transfusion first." The doctor asked for alpha mercy. "Jack injury?" "Yes, Alpha." He answered with a nod. "Sigh! Who dares to attacked Jack?!" Alex''s face tensed. What had happened? First Eden, now Jack. "Ugh... Alex." Eden moaned his name. "Examine Eden first, Doc!!" Alex turned around and yelled at the doctor to checkup Eden''s condition. The doctor came near, he checked Eden''s pulse, then continued to her breath. His eyebrows furrowed when he thought about the diagnosis of Eden''s illness. Eden was scorching from fever. Her first transformation progress forced Eden to get fatigued all over her body, flesh to the bone. When Eden back at the human shape, her body stopped the regeneration progress. No wonder she felt very ill now. "Miss Eden''s energy is drained due to complex activity. I don''t know what kind of exercise she had been through¡ªall her muscles cramp. And the fever is the effect of this exhaustion. With a lot of rest, she will be okay, my lord." The doctor told Alexander, there was nothing to worry about. Eden would be okay if she had enough rest. "sigh..." Alex''s heart relieved after hearing about his mate. "I''ll give her fever reduce, pain killer, and sleeping pills, so Luna can rest." The doctor told Alex. Alex nodded to agree. After a few medical treatments, Eden could sleep well. There was an infused tube of vitamins and ionic water above her bed, down through the long clear hose to Eden''s wrist. Alex didn''t sleep, he was waiting for his girl to comfort her. Alex stroked Eden''s hair, her grey hair seemed mess and wet because of sweat. "What had happened to you, Girl? What had you been through without me?" Alex kissed Eden on the back of her hand, so deep and full of love. Honestly, Alex was still fearful, afraid of losing his love, mate of his soul. A knocking sound on the door made Alex flinch. "Can I come in, my lord?" Kai asked for permission. "Yes, come in, Kai. We have to talk." Alex got up. He put his hand at the pocket and walked to the couch. Kai entered, he saw Eden lying on the bed. Than asked, "How about Luna''s condition, Lord?" "She is fine, a doctor gives her sleeping pills so she can rest and heal." "I''m glad to hear it, Lord." Kai sat in front of Alex. "What happens to Jack?? How could he got wounded?" Alex asked curiously. He wanted to know everything about the accident. "When I came, Jackson was already dying. His flesh slashed, badly bleeding, couldn''t regenerate. He lost so much blood and I''m afraid he couldn''t make it. But..." "What?" "But... a Wizard came. He was wearing a white robe. He helped to cure Jack''s wounds." Kai shared with Alex about his experience. "A Wizard?" Alex raised his eyebrow in disbelief. A wizard helped werewolf? was he insane? "Yes, Alpha. I had no choice and let him help us. Jackson was saved, and the wizard asked about the one who attacked him." Kai continued the story. Alex''s face stiffened; Wizards were nature enemy of werewolves. Did they plan something? "What is Jack''s answer?" Alex questions the wizard''s motive for helping Jack. "He said, The enemy not a werewolf but not a human. He was so strong, even the same strong as you, Lord." Kai said. "What??" "Yes, and Jack said that this creature is looking for power to help him arise!" "Sigh... What are we dealing with?" Alex stroked his forehead. "E... Alpha, What about the Amethyst pack? we have suddenly left them without saying anything." "Yes, They must be angry with me. Tell them to wait for me. After everything is clear, we will go back there." Alex ordered Kai. "Yes, Alpha." ******* . . . The Summer camp became chaotic because of the wolf''s invasion. One of the students was injured. And two students were missing in the woods. They couldn''t find Ace and Eden. Meanwhile, Jimmy was unconscious at the hospital. This big guy had the same diagnosis as Eden. His body was tortured with muscle cramps due exhausted. The teachers waited for him to wake up. But, until midnight, Jimmy still fell asleep. The hospital corridor looked deserted because it was already in the middle of the night. The teacher -who was looking after Jimmy- was sleeping on the waiting chair in front of his room. Jimmy suddenly sat. His eyes were bloodshot. The demon inside him possessed his body again. Jimmy walked limp, he went out to the outside. he was walking without direction. Only walk and walk. "This body is too weak! I need the strong one. I need the body of an alpha. The body that can help me build an army." Jimmy muttered. After having a long journey to the south, Jimmy arrived at the Amethyst pack. There, three warriors were guarding the gate. They were betas of this pack. One of them held Jimmy''s chest, forbid him to cross the border. One of them approached Jimmy and inhale his scent. "snift... snift!! Hey!! This is a private property that belongs to the Amethyst pack! You cannot go farther." They asked Jimmy to stop his move because Jimmy was a human. But, Jimmy just sneered at the gate guardian warriors. "You guys are no match for me, Kid! If you don''t want to die then move!" Jimmy ordered back. They laughed at Jimmy. "Are you crazy, kid?? Don''t play jokes and go home!!" They told Jimmy. But once more time, Jimmy only smiled. "So, You guys won''t let me in, don''t ya?" "Of course! This property area was too creepy for a silly little boy like you! So go and don''t dare to come back!!" Yelled them. Jimmy pulled out his claws, his aura became dark and so pressing. The Three of them flinched. The terrifying atmosphere made them steps backward. "Who... are you!" They asked Jimmy. "Your new alpha!!" Jimmy answered then he jumped high. His nail was very sharp, his moves were very agile, and his power was too enormous for just a betas like them. The battle had begun, They were fighting in the middle of the dawn. Jimmy butchering them, beat them without mercy. Slashing their body into pieces. "Hahaha... It''s fun! Yes, this is what I want! Power! Fighting!! I will kill those who stand against me!! Once more time, I will rule the continent! And Wizard, I will let them pay for what they did!" Jimmy went deeper into the woods area to the Amethyst pack hall. Jimmy will challenge the alpha and be the alpha. He will possess the alpha''s body so that he can bite humans. Jimmy... ah, I mean Fenrir would turn them into mutts. He would build an army of werewolves, his army! Fenrir stopped at the front of the hallway to the great hall. Everyone who was sitting there looked at him. And the two wolves still stood up waiting for the the battle to claim the alpha title. They began catching his presence. "Who are you, Boy? How dare a nasty human like you step into our sanctuary?" The alpha asked Fenrir. "Who is the alpha of this pack??" But, Fenrir asked back. The two wolves in the middle of the area were lifting their hand. "I''m the alpha!!" "No, I''m!!" "Before the battle, I still the alpha!!" "Now or Then, You will defeated and I will be the alpha!!" They shouted to each other. Fenrir was very disappointed seeing their argument. These werewolves were far more different from those at his time. "So, I only need to kill you both if I want to become an alpha, right?" Fenrir took off his hospital pijamas and walked down to the arena. The two wolves only smirked, they indeed underestimated Fenrir. How could a human kill them?! "Let''s begin the fight. You can attack me side by side!" Fenrir pulled out his nail longer and sharper. He was ready to be murdered the alphas, and be the alpha. "So Arrogant!!" The alpha was mad at Fenrir''s behavior. "Yeah! Since you are not a human. We''ll kill you, bastard!" The other one yelled loudly to Fenrir. "We will shut your mouth up!!" "Bring it on; I''m waiting!" Fenrir smiled full of passion. ******** Hi, guys, I hope you like my book. Help me by vote on this Novel. I''m waiting for your comments. Thank you so much and love you Chapter 58 - What Have I Done? "So Arrogant!!" The alpha was mad at Fenrir''s behavior. "Yeah! Since you are not a human. We''ll kill you, bastard!" The other one yelled loudly to Fenrir. "We will shut your mouth up!!" "Bring it on; I''m waiting!" Fenrir smiled full of passion. The atmosphere of the battle arena was tense and pressing. The two men versus a boy. Not an ordinary boy, the boy possessed by a cruel demon. "He is so strong. Can you feel the dark aura around his body?" The alpha whispered to his beta. "Yeah, thicker than King Alex." He nodded agreed. "What are you guys talking about? Please don''t ignore me! I''ll be sad!" Fenrir grinned. "Who are you, Boy?! Your body is a human, but, How can you have claws like us?" The alpha tried to speak with Fenrir. He wanted to avoid the fight with this stranger. "My name is Fenrir. Yeah, I''m the king of werewolves." Fenrir claimed the highest title of werewolves in this continent. "Haha..." The beta laughed at him. "You must be joking, Kid. Fenrir is our ancestor. He died almost a thousand years ago. And Alexander Lupo is our King now." "Alexander Lupo?" Fenrir''s eyes were sparkling with interest. "Yes. He is the greatest werewolf on this continent!" "So, I have to get his body to be my vessel. But, this body will not make it. So... first, I need the stronger vessel before I challenge him." Fenrir muttered to himself. "Don''t mumble like a crazy, Kid!! Let''s fight!" They yelled. The three of them got into a stance, leaned in, and put the weight on their forelegs. Fenrir glared intently at Alpha from the Amethyst pack before quickly jumping up to rip the neck. The alpha easily dodged Fenrir''s attack and countered his slashes. Too bad, missed, Fenrir managed to dodge. "You''re pretty fast too. What''s your name?!" said Fenrir as he asked. "My name is Ronan, and I''m the alpha in this pack," he replied. "and you?" "My name is Sergio, and I will be alpha too! Waiting in line first if you want to get the alpha''s title, you bastard!!" Sergio jumped to challenge Fenrir to fight. He jumped from beside him and tore Fenrir. Fenrir''s instincts could catch the attack direction. He dodged easily even though his shoulder was slightly scratched. Blood seeped down Fenrir''s shoulder. The wound didn''t close because his host was a human. "Feel it, Bastard!!" Sergio growled. Fenrir licked his blood. An evil laugh emerged from Jimmy''s teen face. He was making all members of the pack who see it goosebump. "That''s what I wanted!! A rival who fights with passion!" Of course, Fenrir laughed happily. He wanted a match fight. "Give up, Kid. Let us kill you painlessly." Ronan turned into werewolf combat mode. He was more agile and fast in this fighting mode. "Ronan!!" A female wolf dashed into the hall. The battle sent chills down her spine because of Fenrir''s immense dark aura. "Yerrin, why are you here?" Ronan was surprised by the arrival of his mate. "We fight together." Even though she was afraid, Yerin couldn''t leave Ronan to fight with the strange creature alone. "Gina, you are here too?" Sergio was no less surprised. "Yeah, I''m afraid something happened to you." This she-wolf was Sergio''s mate. "Wow, four against one. You guys aren''t fair." Fenrir laughed. "Fighting alongside by side with a mate is a joyful sensation. Too bad I don''t have a mate now. She¡­ *sigh* ... betrayed me." Fenrir looked sad. "We don''t have time for your story! Die!" Sergio ran and attacked Fenrir again. The man did not waste the opportunity in front of him. He leaped up, changed into werewolf combat mode, and spun through the air, landing his body behind Fenrir and tearing the broad back. "Gotcha!!" he said. But it turned out his attack missed. Fenrir already moved. Sergio''s eyes went wide. It was terrible. He was already fast, but Fenrir was much faster. Even though Fenrir was already injured and didn''t heal himself, he is a zombie. The human inside him was unconscious and did not feel pain. "where are you looking at, Kid?" Fenrir immediately attacked Sergio when he was off guard¡ªpierced his heart with a sharp fingernail. "Cough!!" Sergio coughed, blood spurting out. The blood spite out more and more as Fenrir successfully pulled out his heart. Fenrir''s movements were so fast Sergio''s heart was still beating slowly in the palm of his hand. "NO!!!" Gina exclaimed. The mate''s relationship was separated, and it was excruciating. Seeing her lover lying lifeless right in front of her eyes made this girl lose her mind. Fenrir smirked at her. He grabbed Sergio''s heart and squeezed it. Blood spurted again. Sergio''s soul entered Fenrir''s soul, making him even stronger. "I''ll kill you, bastard!!" she screamed in pain. "I miss my mate too. Ah¡­ You make me jealous." Fenrir sighed. He saw Gina running towards him with a face full of anger. Fenrir quickly strangled Gina''s neck until she was out of breath. Gina''s face was red, and her legs were kicking. This She Wolf was in pain. She groaned, trying to escape Fenrir''s hideous stranglehold. Fenrir did get stronger after devouring Sergio''s soul just now. "Let''s see, baby. Did your soul as delicious as your mate?" Fenrir smirked. He stuck his sharp nails and tore Gina''s chest. In one tug, Gina''s heart slipped from her chest. The girl died. Fenrir threw the lifeless body onto the floor. Blood flooded the sacred hall belonging to the Amethyst Pack. Gina''s face turned pale when the last blood left. Her eyes were wide and couldn''t close because of Fenrir''s stifle. All the werewolves were staring in horror at the murdered phenomena in this place, including the couple, Alpha and Luna, from the Amethyst pack. "Come here, Ron! I won''t kill you! I will make you a vessel for me to replace this weak body." Fenrir offered peace. "Ronan," Yerin shook her head in fear. She continued to hold Ronan''s hand. Ronan smiled at his mate and patted the back of her hand to calm her down. "There''s no need for bloodshed, Ronan." Fenrir threw away Gina''s heart when he finished absorbing her soul. Ronan kneeled in front of Fenrir. His body trembled at the sight of Fenrir''s red eyes, which lit up even more brightly from having successfully devoured five werewolves'' souls. Three guards and two betas. Ronan didn''t want his mate to get hurt too. Ronan was forced to bow down. If it were true that this terrifying creature was Fenrir, no one would be able to stop him even if the whole pack attacked him together. "Right!! Bow down to your King!!! I am Fenrir, the great!! You will feel lucky to be a vessel for me!!" Fenrir touched Ronan''s forehead and pressed it. A highly dense dark soul flowed from Jimmy''s mouth, eyes, nose, and ears. The thick darkness twisted through the air and entered Ronan''s body -the alpha of the Amethyst pack- in the same way. "Aaah!!" Ronan screamed in pain. The moving soul process turned out to be very painful. Ronan screamed painfully. The scream echoed throughout the hall. Ronan''s inside body burned by such great energy. The power of a soul controlled by vengeance and anger forced him to the unconscious. Fenrir''s soul moved, finding a new vessel for his soul. A much stronger body. And most importantly, he was an alpha! Ronan''s eyes turned red. Now, he was Fenrir, no longer Ronan. "Call me Alpha!" Fenrir turned into a giant wolf. He howled to call the pack. All the wolves staying at the hall and the other pack members immediately looked at him with fear. They bowed to the alpha. Yerin''s body shook violently but still accompanied the alpha as his Luna. ******** "AAAA!!!" Eden screamed and woke up. Her face was covered with cold sweats. Alexander flinched. He grabbed her hand immediately. "Alex!!" Eden hugged Alex. She was afraid of something. "Are you okay, Baby? did you have a bad dream?" Alex stroked Eden''s hair down to her back. His hug made Eden feel safe and comfy. She laid on his chest, catching the air as much as she could. Eden choked from her nightmare. "I''m afraid, Alex. I... I," Eden stuttered, couldn''t find the way to tell Alex about her dream. It''s undescribed. "Shh... you safe here, Baby. I''m with you." Alex calmed Eden. Eden touched her body, searching for her necklace. The only thing that her father left for her. Eden found the chain still hanging on her neck. "Max repaired this chain for you." Alex smiled. Eden sighed. Nothing gone. "Alex, what had happened to me?" Eden asked. "You don''t remember anything?" Alex furrowed. "The last thing I can remember is when I fell to the hillside. Jimmy gripped me to the woods, and... we both slipped." Eden massaged her temples, and her head was dizzy. "It''s okay, Baby. Don''t push yourself." Alex kissed Eden''s forehead and hugged her once more, this time tighter. "What have I done, Alex?" ******** Hi, guys. I hope you like my book. Help me by voting on this Novel. I''m waiting for your comments. Thank you so much, and I love you Chapter 59 - A Letter "What have I done? Did I do something bad, Alex?" Eden was throbbing. "Nothing, Girl." Alexander stroked Eden''s cheek. "Don''t overthink and go back to sleep; your body needs a lot of rest. And it''s still dawn." "I can not sleep. I''m afraid, Alex." "Don''t be afraid, Darling. I''m here; I am always here with you." Alex pushed Eden softly so she could back lying on the bed. Alex got onto the bed to lay beside her. "I had a nightmare, Alex. Thick darkness surrounds me. I was strangling, could not breathe. I gasped tried to find oxygen. But, when I struggled, the more I moved, this thing gripped my neck tighter too." Eden shrugged in horror. "I''ll not let that happen in real life, Baby. Now you have to sleep! Your body needs it." "Don''t leave me alone, Alex. promise me!" Eden moored her head to Alexander''s broad chest. The girl snuggled to find her comfort zone. Sweet scents were blooming between the two of them. "Never, Girl." Alex stroked Eden''s grey hair repeatedly until she fell asleep. The dawn air was cold. The sky was still dark. The moonlight peeked through the window grilles. The two of them slept under the moonlight. They were holding hands. Eden was feeling safe and comfy. ******* . . . The sun was already high when Alexander woke up. The bright light that was piercing the window blinded his eyes. Alexander turned, he saw Eden was still fast asleep in his arms. Alexander smiled, so cute. If Eden had not been sick, Alex would have been licking her lips very wild. Too bad this little bunny still had to rest. Alex gave Eden a light kiss on the forehead then stood up to clean himself. It looked like today was going to be a long day. "Alex, you''re awake." Eden grabbed Alex''s hand. She tied his index finger with hers. "Hey, Girls. Feeling better, huh?" asked Alex. Eden nodded. "How could I not wake up to a wet kiss on my forehead?" Eden smiled. Alex felt very relieved because he could see Eden''s smile again. "But you still need a lot of rest. You''re exhausted." "I''m exhausted?" "Yes, the doctor said so. What were you doing that makes you feel so tired?" Alex tried to get information, but Eden just shook her head. Nothing she could remember. "I don''t remember anything, Alex." Eden lowered her face sadly. "It''s okay if you don''t remember." Alex lightly pinched Eden''s nose, hoping that the girl would be cheerful again. Crutches¡­! Eden''s stomach growled. "Looks like the worms in my stomach are rebelling," Eden smirked while rubbing her slender stomach. Eden hadn''t eaten anything since camp. Of course, she was starving. "I''ll have Jared cook something. A bowl of warm broth is sure will make you feel better soon. Do you agree?" "Yes!!" Eden nodded happily. Alex contacted Jared to prepare breakfast for Luna immediately. Alex told him to cook some broth to keep Eden''s body warm. No needed a long time. There was a knock on the door. Jared came in with a tray filled with food and fresh fruit. Since knowing that Eden eats vegetables, Alex asks Jared to buy vegetables and fresh fruits so she can eat. "Please, Luna." Jared opened the serving lid. The delicious aroma of the hot broth wafted out. Creamy mashed potatoes and stirred vegetables side to side with the hot soup. "WOW!!!" Eden drooled at the smell of food. "Careful, it''s still hot." Jared poured his soup into a bowl then gave it to Eden. But Alex''s hand took over the bowl. "Let me. Luna''s hand still hurts," said Alex. That''s right. There''s still an IV in Eden''s wrist. "Okay, Alpha." Jared complied. Alexander twirled the soup surface with a spoon to let it cool quickly. Alex was afraid Eden''s tongue would burn if she took a sip of the soup right away. "Open your mouth," Alex said with a spoon in hand. Eden complied. She opened her mouth wide. Alex put the soup into Eden''s tiny mouth. "Tasty?" "Hmm, that''s delicious." Eden nodded. Sometimes she would snatch a stir-fried vegetable and put it in her mouth. "Take it slow, Baby! there are still many." Alex rubbed Eden''s lips, erasing the food splatter on the corners of her lips. Eden''s face turned red like a steamed crab because of Alex''s sweet act. "wanna more?" "Yes, please, Alpha." Eden opened her mouth widely. "Tsk, Big baby girl." Alex chuckles. He teased Eden by taking the spoon away when Eden had opened her mouth. "Don''t tease me, Alex. I''m not a baby!! Let me eat by myself!!" Eden annoyed. "Hahaha, Alex laughed. Jared laughed too. They were so adorable. Jared could see the change in Alexander''s behavior. In the past, Alex was a quiet child. No one had seen him smile since he lost his parents. After ten years had passed, Alex began to open up his mind and was willing to smile. But Alex''s smile cost a fortune. He smiled very rarely and was angry most of the time. And now, looked, he even laughed when this girl was mad at him. Eden brought a significant change to Alex''s lousy behavior. Alex fed Eden happily. Eden finished all the food in front of her until nothing was left. Her appetite increased drastically due to the fatigue after turning into a wolf. "Alpha." Kai''s arrival made Alex turn his head. "I''m sorry, I was rude to enter without knocking on the door. but The door is open, so¡­." "It''s okay, Kai. Report what you got?" Alex interrupted Kai''s words. "The Amethyst Pack just gave the news that they canceled the fight. Sergio, the beta who challenged the Alpha, has given up and doesn''t want to challenge anymore." Report Kairos. "Good, one problem solved. But why do people who are so passionate about getting the alpha title give up before competing?" Alex was suspicious. "Maybe Ronan managed to persuade Sergio." Kairos provided feedback. "You''re right. Sigh¡­ the important thing is that the matter in the pack has been resolved without any bloodshed." Alex looked relieved. Eden just listened without understanding the meanings of the conversation. "There are more?" "Yes, Alpha. The Wizards are sending messages to meet you." Kai handed over a letter that was sent with the owl. ''A'' sealed. "They are truly ancient old men! Times have advanced in modern times. Still sending letters with owls." Alex shook his head in surprise. "Haven''t you ever watched Harry Potter, Alex? Wizards do use owls to send their letters. And it''s COOL!!" Eden joined in, making Jared and Kairos chuckle. "But they''re not Harry Potter!! They are only rotten old men who try to look young." Alex pinched Eden''s cheek. "Ouch!!" Eden groaned in pain. Alex opened the letter and read. Ace wanted a meeting to discuss what happened in the forest at that time. What magic was contained in the coffin -located deep in the woods. Ace also asked Alex to make a temporary peace because, at this time, the wizards were not a threat to him but the evil thing in the forest. "Tch, you shameless bastard!" Alex handed the letter back into Kairos'' hands. The commander read. He took a deep breath. "What is it about, Alpha? Are the Wizards going to attack?" Jared asked. "No, they want a ceasefire. They want us to accept their arrival." It was Kairos who answered. "Geez. That''s so strange!" "Sigh¡­ I have no idea too, Jared. Still looking for the answers." ****** . . . A while ago. Ace furrowed his brows when he saw that the hospital bed was empty. Jimmy disappeared from the inpatient room. "Look for traces of that young man, King. Look for him until you find him. We have to stop him from doing bad things before finding Edith''s necklace." Ace rubbed his face roughly. He only left Jimmy for a while to return to the magic tower, and now Jimmy was gone! How could his human body be so strong against this demon possession? "I have to return to the magic tower. I''ll be watching the progress searching for Edith''s necklace." Ace handed over the task of finding Jimmy to King while he would return to help Jack. "Yes, my lord." A light appeared again when Ace raised his hand while making a seal and chanting a spell. The circular portal would take him back to the magic tower. More precisely, to the tree of life. A tree that holds all the Wizard''s blood necklaces when they die. Ace had many fond memories with Edith around that tree. "How about it, Jack?" Ace asked as soon as his body appeared. The green robe wizards who control time magic nodded respectfully at him. "I''ve been turning fifteen years back. But haven''t found it yet, Lord." Jack''s face was pale, his sweat dripping like a waterfall. He had been turning back time all night, and of course, that activity took up a lot of his LUMINOS. "Sorry, Jack. We have no choice." Ace sighed. The years go backward. Spinning and spinning fast like film. Until finally, exactly seventeen years ago. A man with gray hair, sneaking around tree of life to steal Edith''s blood stone. "Miguel Grey?" Ace''s face paled. "You know him?" asked Jack. "Yes, he is a warrior from the Tourmaline pack." Ace gasped. "Sent message to Alexander immediately!!" ****** Chapter 60 - Edith’s First Duty [ EXPLICIT MATURE CONTENT! BE WISE IN READING AND RESPONDING ] **** The years go backward. Spinning and spinning fast like film. Until finally, exactly seventeen years ago. A man with gray hair was sneaking around the tree of life to steal Edith''s blood stone. "Miguel Grey?" Ace''s face paled. "You know him?" asked Jack. "Yes, he is a warrior from the Tourmaline pack." Ace gasped. "Sent message to Alexander immediately!!" "Yes, lord." One of the green Wizards answered. Ace sent a message for Alex with an owl. "Edith''s bloodstone maybe in his hand." Ace hoped that Alex knew something. Ace could only pray that Alex would accept his offer before he knew about Fenrir. Ace almost went back to his chamber when his eyes caught the name''s initial of his and hers. A and E, carving in the tree trunk. The memory of his past came back, back at the time when he and Eden engraved these two alphabets. . . . [Hundreds of years ago, Tree of life] The night was dark. The light shone from the full moon. Sometimes the light reflected on the bloodstone. The cold breeze. The swish of the wind made the bloodstone necklaces collide with each other and created a jingling sound. The tall grass occasionally waved along with the sounds of insects and nocturnal animals. Ace sat pensively under the tree of life. It had been almost a month since Edith was inducted into a Supreme mage''s disciple. One month also, Ace did not meet with Edith. Edith moved to the Red Tower, no longer living in the Blue Tower, like Ace and another student. And this afternoon, Ace ventured to send a letter to Edith to meet. And Edith said yes. How happy Ace was after so long they could finally date. For two hours, Ace waited for Edith under the tree of life. Ace had been waiting for two hours with a chaotic heart. Afraid that Edith would cancel their date. "Ace!!" Edith''s voice was loud. Her sweet smile immediately dispelled all the worries in Ace''s heart. Ace, who was first worried, now could smile very broadly. "Congratulations, Edith." Ace hugged Edith. "For what?" Edith chuckled. "You became a disciple of a supreme mage. I heard he''s never accepted a disciple before." Ace let go of his arm. "Yup, lucky me!" Edith giggled. The two of them walked hand in hand towards the tree of life. They were sitting together under this big tree. Edith told a lot of new things in the red tower. Ace listened to her faithfully. Ace felt inferior when he heard all that, but he also didn''t want to hurt Edith''s heart. "Why do I the one who keeps telling the story, huh?" Edith nudged Ace''s arm, hoping that her boyfriend would replace her with a story about his life. "I don''t have a story as great as yours." Ace smiled bitterly. "But, you''re always the greatest thing for me." Edith looked at Ace with a gentle gaze, her eyes shining brightly. The two of them brought their faces closer to each other until their lips pressed together and mashed together. Ace really enjoyed the sweetness as they exchanged saliva. So did Edith. Both of them were sanctioned by a feeling of longing that was so bubbling. Ace squeezed Edith''s breasts gently while Edith wrapped her thin arms around Ace''s neck. They kissed more passionately and wildly. Ace''s tongue went into Edith''s mouth, playing agile, winning the sweet honey. Their passion was getting bigger and stronger. "Ah...!" Edith sighed as Ace''s hands went into her robes and stroked her thighs until they finally rose to her waist. Ace removed Eden''s robe before his own. The two of them looked at each other full of lust and love. They missed each other also wanted each other. Ace immediately sucked back Edith''s lips while his hands pinched, twisted, and pulled her pink nipples. "Oh, Ace!!" Edith sighed as she called out her lover''s name. "Yes, Darling, call my name again. I miss you." Ace kissed Edith''s neck, leaving small red marks all over her neck to the front of her chest, and Ace finally stopped to suck her nipples. Edith screamed, gasping for air as Ace began to shower her with pleasure. Ace sucked her nipples alternately while his hand stroked Edith''s clit. They were both engulfed in a sensation full of pleasure. "Ssshh..." Edith groaned as she grabbed Ace''s hair as his female core twitched and her love liquid out profusely. Flooded her crown. "My turn!" Ace smirked mischievously. He kissed Edith''s cheek tenderly before inserting his stiffened cock. Edith began to feel something dull and hard stab into her body. Ace started to friction softly. "Ah!!" Edith bit her lip while holding onto Ace''s neck. Ace penetrated deeper into Edith''s hole. The motion that was originally soft slowly turned fast. Faster and deeper, stabbing in and out, pumping Edith''s body with his manhood. Ace closed his eyes and groaned, enjoying a very intimate connection. It was so good! The cold didn''t scare them even though there was no cloth covering the two of them. The sound of insects and the jiggling of blood stones covered the sighs of pleasure that emerged from their lips. The cold night turned warm as skin touched with skin. They exude a sense of longing by satisfying each other''s bodies. . . . Edith put her clothes back on as well as Ace. They both laughed at each other, laughing at themselves. "come, I help you put it on." Ace tightened the straps of Edith''s robe. "Thanks." Edith laughed. The two of them sat back under the tree of life. Still reluctant to part. It''s still midnight anyway. There was still time until dawn broke. Edith also didn''t need to be afraid of Mrs. Merry anymore because now she had her room in Red tower. "Did you learn a lot of new magic?" asked Ace. "Yes. Take a look at this." Edith rubbed her palms together, and when they opened, they appeared a butterfly made of light. Then after flying high, the butterfly became two and then three ¡­ and turned into thousands, flying high in a wonderful way. Ace was stunned by the beauty. His eyes sparkled in awe. Edith laughed too. She mastered illusion magic perfectly. And once the butterflies got to the top, they exploded into colorful fireworks. "WOW...!" Ace was flabbergasted. The reflection of the fireworks filled his eyes. "Beautiful?" Edith asked. "Very." Ace glanced very happily. "Aces." Edith held Ace''s hand, Edith''s beautiful face wrinkled, her smile turned bitter as if she had a painful truth. "Huh?" Ace turned to Edith. "Next week, I will go to the palace," said Eden. "Eh???" Ace''s face stiffened. "The King and Prince invite the Supreme Mage to observe the strange occurrences around the capital city." Edith tightened her grip. "So¡­ you''re going to the capital city?" Ace was flabbergasted. "Right." Edith nodded, "I will help the Supreme mage to eradicate the evil forces that have appeared in the capital of this continent." Edith took a deep breath. Her first duty as Xavier''s pupil. "You should be proud. You get to meet the King and the royal family." Ace grabbed Edith''s shoulder. Even though it was very hard, he couldn''t make this girl give up on her dreams. "But¡­ I don''t know how long this matter will take." Edith grabbed Ace''s hand. "I''ll be waiting for you, Edith. I''ll be waiting for you to come back. Just send me a message every day so that I can hold back my longing." Ace stroked Edith''s beautiful face. "I will send this butterfly to you every day. And I will practice teleportation magic so that I can return to the magic tower when the opportunity arises." "Shouldn''t teleportation magic have permission??" The Wizard union''s permission must accompany teleportation. The purpose of teleportation must be clear. Otherwise, the Wizards could use it to commit crimes. "Well, it''s okay to get caught once in a while?! I don''t use it to steal or kill anyway. I use it to meet my boyfriend." Edith cuddled in Ace''s arms. "You''re so naughty." Ace pinched Edith''s nose. "Is it okay if I go to the palace, Ace?" Edith still felt terrible. "Really. Do your best, Edith. I know you always wanted to be a kind wizard who helped many people." Ace let go of Edith. "Aces..." Edith''s beautiful eyes filled with tears. "Give my regards to the King when you become famous." Ace kissed Edith''s neck. "I will ask the king to allow me to marry you!!" Edith giggled in amusement. No wizard could marry; that was the rule. "Promise, come back and marry me!!" Ace kissed Edith''s lips. To mark the promise, they both carved the name''s initials on the tree of life trunk. The letters A and E, according to their first names. . . . The memory of his past was fading. Ace had tears in his eyes. "After hundreds of years, you''re still a great wizard, Edith." Ace stroked the initials of the name. ******** Chapter 61 - Alexander’s Answer Back to Alexander. Tourmaline Pack. Ethereal mansion. "Tch, you shameless bastard!" Alex handed the letter back into Kairos'' hands. The commander read. He took a deep breath. "What is it about, Alpha? Are the Wizards going to attack?" Jared asked. "No, they want a ceasefire. They want us to accept their arrival." It was Kairos who answered. "Geez. That''s so strange!" "Sigh¡­ I have no idea too, Jared. Still looking for the answers." Alexander was still considering whether he would accept the meeting with the wizards or not. The relationship between werewolves and wizards had been broken for hundreds of years. There was no way he would accept the arrival of a wizard to Ethereal without the obvious reason. "What should I answer them, Alpha?" Kairos asked, breaking the silence. Alexander was silent for a moment. He rubbed his chin in thought. Alex looked at Eden, who was also curiously waiting for Alex''s answer even though she didn''t actually know what was going on. What kind of strife once arose between werewolves and wizards. Alex thought Alex found Eden was unconscious and lying beside the coffin inside the cave. Eden also had a bloodstone necklace like the wizards. Eden was only human, but she could bring Alex To his knees. Even though just a human, Eden was the mate of an Alpha. Who knew the wizard could tell Alex the truth about Eden''s identity? Besides, Alex was also curious about what happened in the woods back then that Jackson could be so severely injured. Who was hurting Jackson? "I''ll talk to Jackson first, Kai. After that, I''ll answer." Alex didn''t want to be rash. He must protect all the werewolves in the pack and Eden. "Fine, Alpha. I''ll have Jackson come here to see you when he wakes up." Kai complied and went out. "So wizards existed?" Eden''s eyes sparkled with enthusiasm waiting for Alex''s answer. "That''s right, girl. They live so long by sucking in the sunlight like batteries. As long as the sun is shining, that''s how long they can live." Alex sat beside Eden to talk. "Wow, great. Does that mean they''re immortal?" "Not really. They can die if they''re sliced, bitten, and torn apart. They don''t recover instantly, Baby. It''s the opposite of us." Alex slashed his arm, bled, and closed as nothing happened again. Eden was horrified and amazed at the same time. Wow, this ability of werewolf is really great. "But we can''t continue to recover as well. There is a limit when we can no longer regenerate ours." "Oh, yeah? When?" asked Eden, wanting to know. "When our blood runs out, and our souls are exhausted. That''s what mate is for. We share each other''s breath and soul. We fill each other''s shortcomings. We need a mate while fighting." Alex held Eden''s hand while explaining the special relationship between mates. "Hmm¡­ Alex. Am I really your mate? If so, am I going to give you trouble??" Eden was worried that her weak body would become a burden for Alex when they were fighting together. "I''ll always protect you. You''re not my burden. You''re the one who makes me feel strong and scared at the same time. You make me scared, girl." Alex stroked the back of Eden''s hand. "Eh¡­ scared?" "Yeah, I''m afraid of losing you. Don''t joke like yesterday, Baby. It''s not funny. I almost go crazy when I think of you will die! I''m afraid as our bond will be broken!" Alex rested his forehead on Eden''s shoulder. Eden ventured to rub Alex''s head. Gently stroked his black hair. Eden flushed red. Her heart was beating wildly. It looked like she really has fallen in love with this pervert wolf. The seeds of love sown in the garden of Eden''s heart, shifting Ace''s existence from there. Alex kissed Eden''s collarbone, inhaling its sweet scent. Eden trembled with that wet kiss. Alex moved his lips to kiss inch by inch the area of ??Eden''s neck and stopped behind her ear. Alex enjoyed the sweet aroma from the nape of the neck. Eden felt even hotter. Her face reddened. Alex smiled before bringing his lips closer to Eden''s. Eden looked down, unable to see the two pitch-black eyes. she was afraid to fall for his charm. Eden touched Alex''s broad chest gently up to his shoulder. Alex pulled Eden''s waist closer. Their lips touched each other tenderly. Alex licked Eden''s lips gently but deeply and forcefully. Eden felt Alex''s passionate lips crush hers. Alex''s tongue played mischievously inside Eden''s mouth. Eden tightened her arms around Alex''s neck, and so did Alex. Eden could taste the freshness of the citrus scent from Alex''s breath. So did Alex. Eden''s breath was panting could not follow Alex''s agile tongue inside hers. The kiss ended with cuddling in bed, closing the sunny day full of love. ******** . . . Night came, Ethereal Mansion. The moon shone brightly, became a friend of Alexander. He was flooded with business things. Alex was sitting at his desk while checking the company reports presented by the chief accountant of his company. He had a lot of work to do before taking a sabbatical. "Excuse me, Mr. Lupo." Jack knocked on the door for permission to in. "Are you feeling better, Jack?" Alex waved his hand to send his accountant out. The man nodded to his boss and went out. After the man went out, Jack approached the Alpha and stood in front of him. "I''m sorry, Alpha. I neglected my duty to care for Miss Eden, and I almost died. I failed you." Jackson lowered his head. He was ready to accept any punishment from Alex. "Kai told me everything. I won''t punish you. Now, it''s your turn to tell me everything, Jack. How could you lose? Who''s your enemy? Where did he come from?" Alex folded his arms across his chest. Now it was Alex''s turn to listen to Jackson''s story. Jackson started talking. Telling Alex everything he''s been through. He was starting from the wolf howling to their pursuit into the forest. Jackson and Maxi found Eden''s clothes, which were already torn apart, and her necklace. Then they split up because a teenager challenged Jackson. Maxi goes to track Eden again while Jack fights him. "That boy was extraordinary, Alpha. First, I thought he was a human. But when we started fighting, he gave off a terrifying aura that was even bigger than yours." Jackson shuddered. "Bigger than mine?" Alex''s brows knit together. Staring curiously. "That''s right, Alpha. I fell after getting hit a few times. He really was a terrifying monster." Jackson answered. "Hmm¡­ so human or wolf??" "Sorry, Alpha. I don''t know." Jackson shook his head. "Then what did that wizard say to you?" Alex asked again. "He was just asking the same thing as you, Alpha. But he seemed to know what creature was attacking me. He could tell that it had a poison that slowed down my body''s regeneration." Jack told Alex what he knew. "So the wizard knows what creature it is?" Alex concluded. "True, and he rushed off as soon as he found out what was attacking me, Lord." Jackson nodded. Alex now understands this creature had something to do with werewolves and wizards. Stand in the middle of the two. But Alex couldn''t determine whether the wizard had no other purpose than to get rid of this creature? But what made Alex think the most was Jackson''s words saying that the aura of this creature was much stronger than him. Much stronger?? So, did that mean that Alex will lose to him, if they fight? "The Wizards asked me to meet them to discuss this creature, Jack. What do you think?" Alex asked Jackson''s opinion because this man had been fighting the creature head-on. "I think you''d better go see the wizard, Alpha." Jackson, who felt helped by Ace''s magic, remembered Ace''s words before entering the portal. That nothing is free in this world. One day he would come back to ask. And maybe it''s time. "You think so?" "Yes. Because this creature is very cruel. He did not hesitate to kill me. He even looked delighted with our fight. As if he really thirsts for blood. Maybe all will be slaughtered by him if we don''t stop him, Alpha." Jack ended his opinion. "Sigh¡­. It sucks." Alex was annoyed but had no other choice but to listen to the wizard first about this creature. "All right, tell Kai to send back a reply to the wizards. And take over the company''s affairs. I''ve had the chief accountant work in my place when I''m not around. But all authority remains with you, Jack." "Okay, Alpha. As you wish!!" Jack put his right hand on his chest. Now Alex would be preparing to welcome the arrival of the wizards into his pack. Tourmaline mansion. "Ethereal will become a graveyard for Wizards if they dare to deceive Alexander Lupo!" Alex left the room. ******** Hi, guys. I hope you like my book. Help me by voting on this Novel. I''m waiting for your comments. Thank you so much, and I love you Chapter 62 - Alexander’s Naughty Act [Adult Contains, please be wise in reading and responding. ] **** Alexander came inside his room. It was quiet. Eden had fallen asleep. Alex didn''t want to disturb his beloved girl because her body hadn''t fully recovered yet. Alex strolled and sat beside Eden to adjust the blanket. [A girl full of secrets.] Alex thought. "Dad¡­ um¡­. I miss you, Dad." Eden muttered in her sleep. What dream did this girl have? Why looked so sad?? Eden even shed tears. Alex took a deep breath and kissed Eden''s cheek, wiping away the tears. "Alex." Eden woke up. "Sorry, I didn''t want to wake you up, Girl. But seeing you cry in your sleep makes my heart hurt too." Alex wiped Eden''s sweat that was pouring down all over her face. "I dreamed that my father went into the fire to save me, Alex. He died for me." Eden hugged Alex. "Hmm¡­ never mind, it was all just a dream." Alex patted Eden on the back to calm her down. "Don''t drown in it, Girl. It''s not something real." "*sigh*, you''re right, Alex." Eden nodded. Alex climbed onto the bed and hugged Eden again. The two of them just kept silent, more interested in enjoying the heartbeat of their partners. Alex''s head rested on Eden''s soft breasts, which were still covered in clothes. Alex could hear Eden''s heart beating fast. "Tomorrow, the wizards will come here, E," said Alex. "Oh¡­ you finally made up your decision?" Eden stroked Alex''s black hair. Alex ducked deeper into Eden''s chest while nodding. "Are they so dangerous that you''re so worried, my Alpha?" asked Eden. "Well, they are indeed a worth counted enemy. But¡­ I''m more afraid that something will happen to you, Eden. You can''t heal, you can''t fight, and you''re very beautiful." Alex kissed Eden''s chin. "Okay, if I''m weak and can''t fight, I can accept it. But what does that have to do with me being so beautiful?" Eden frowned. Was Alex jealous of wizard? Eden felt that she had never been in touch with any wizard before. "That''s right. I don''t want any wizard to be charmed when he sees you, much less to fall in love with you, then seduce you and make you leave me." Alex said this not without reason. Alex was afraid that Ace was coming to take Eden from him. Alex had met with Ace several times before, and always, at that time, Eden was in trouble. Not only that, but Ace also seemed to know Eden closely. He knew Eden''s name called her by nickname. He was even angry when Alex protected Eden in the woods. His gaze was full of jealousy. "Seriously, Alex! Your anxiety is too much." Eden laughed mockingly. "Because you''re so beautiful, and I can''t mark you as mine yet, Baby Girl. So¡­ I get jealous when another guy approaches you." Alex kissed Eden''s neck repeatedly and made her laugh out loud. "Ahahaha¡­" Eden couldn''t hold back her laughter and got into the blanket to escape from Alex''s ignorant hands. Alex smiled. He rushed into the blanket and caught Eden. Alex''s hand caught Eden''s slender waist while his lips mischievously kissed her navel, then up, and up. Of course, Eden sighed. The girl squirmed as Alex showered her with love. Alex just stopped when he kissed Eden''s chin. Their eyes met each other. The two of them looked at each other tenderly. The two of them snuggled under the blanket. In the dim light, Alex could see Eden''s beautiful face. Meanwhile, Eden, although dim, Alex''s face still looked handsome in her eyes. "I love your beautiful eyes, Girl." Alex complimented Eden''s shortcomings, making her face blush like a steam crab. "I also love your black eyes. Even though they are creepy, they are gorgeous when they sparkle." Eden wrapped her arms around Alex''s neck. Eden chuckled. Alex smiled before bending down to kiss Eden. But before their lips touched, Alex stopped and moved his lips away to tease Eden. Both smiled, Eden replied to Alex. Bringing her lips to close without touching Alex''s lips, then she was sticking out her tongue to tease him. "Naughty Girl," said Alex. "Yes, Need a naughty girl to tease a pervert wolf," Eden whispered. Alex laughed. He immediately stuffed Eden''s mouth with his lips. Kissing those tiny lips very wildly, energetically, and deeply. Eden hugged Alex''s neck tighter. Alex held his body with one hand while his other hand went inside Eden''s shirt. "Sshh¡­" Eden sighed in between kisses as Alex''s rough palm stroked her stomach and rose to her chest. "You''re not wearing a bra?" Alex was quite surprised because he could find the center in Eden''s breast easily. Alex touched the tiny pink bulge with his index finger. "Ah¡­ since we came back, you haven''t let me out of your room. And there are only your clothes in this room. Every day I only wear your clothes, Alex," Eden replied with a super red and hot face. Alex smirked, his gaze dropping inside, tracing the front of her chest. That''s right, her nipples were visible under Alex''s white shirt. Oh¡­ why did Alex just realize it now?? These sexy looks made Alex''s manhood stiffened. "Then pants? Are you wearing my pants too or not wearing anything?!" Alex stroked Eden''s thigh towards her buttocks to check. "Stop!! Ugh! You pervert!!" Eden flicked Alex''s forehead. "Come here! I want to see it!!" Alex forced his way into Eden''s oversized shirt. "Stop, Alex!!" Eden stopped him. "Right, I''m wearing your boxers." Eden was embarrassed to admit it. "So you borrowed my stuff without permission, huh??" Alexander pinched Eden''s cheeks. "Then what should I wear if you don''t even let me get off this bed?" Eden was annoyed and stroked her reddish cheek. "Don''t make a reason, Baby! I will punish you, Baby Girl!!" Alex smirked. He kissed Eden''s breast excitedly and bit the nipple which was still tightly wrapped under her shirt. "Stop, Alex! You make me feel weird!!" Eden felt her body heat up from Alex''s touching. Eden''s heartbeat quickened, her breath hitched, and a sigh escaped her lips. Eden tried to bite her lips, but her mouth refused to cooperate and sighed pleasure. Eden was getting more and more annoyed with herself, who was waiting more and more for the next step of Alex''s fondling. "Ah!" Eden moaned. Eden squeezed Alex''s black hair when Alex had really unbuttoned Eden''s shirt. "Naughty wolf!!" Eden cursed. Alex just giggled. Alex again kissed Eden''s lips tenderly. Made the lips appear thicker and redder. His hand squeezed Eden''s breast. Eden''s body heats up, what''s more, they did it under the blanket. The temperature was getting hotter, and Eden was sweating. "Alex. Don''t!!" Eden refused when Alex replaced his hand with his lips. He sucked the center of Eden''s breast. He rounded his tongue on those pink nipples until Eden went limp. "I''m not marking you tonight, Baby. Even though I want to, I''ll mark you when you''re ready." Alex sucked Eden''s nipple again, this time on the other side. Alex was just scared, afraid that when he marked Eden with his bite, it wasn''t a sign of ownership that appeared but the fresh blood that was pouring out. Alex didn''t want Eden to get hurt the first time they did it. So for today, fondling was enough. Eden felt weak and powerless. Alex pampered her body with the pleasure she felt for the first time. "Alex!" Eden groaned as Alex squeezed around her breasts. "You''re such beauty, Girl. I love this, this, and this." Alex touched every inch of Eden''s body. "Liar!! You said you don''t like my petit boobs. You love the watermelon size boobs." Eden sneered at Alex. "Ahaha, I love all of you, all your curves. And I will make them bigger with my hand. I''m very clever in it, Baby Girl!" Alex raised his eyebrows, teasing Eden. "Naughty!" "Just accept my attack." Alex got into Eden''s oversized shirt and went back to looking for her breasts. Just as Alex was about to take another sip, a knock made Eden flinch. "Alex, stop!! There is guest!!" "Leave them. They can wait!" "What if it''s an important thing to do?" Knock-knock! Again there was a knock on the door. Alex felt very annoyed that someone was disturbing his fun. "Alex!" Eden pushed Alex''s sturdy shoulder. Alex sighed and got up to open the door. Eden rushed to tidy up her clothes again. Her face was still red, and her hair was matted. "What??" Alex snapped as he opened the door. Kairos immediately swallowed heavily. Did he make the alpha lose his fun? "Sorry, Alpha. I have something important to say." Kairos stood up with a tense face. "Say it, Kai!" "The Wizards have been in front of the Ethereal Mansion looking for you." Report Kairos. "Eh?" Alex was taken aback. ****** Thanks for reading Help me by voting and this novel. Purchase privilege chapter only one coin hehehehe Chapter 63 - Alex And Ace [Red Wizard Tower.] Ace sat on his throne, the highest position in the red tower. Ace stepped in to replace Xavier after the old man died. Edith, who was supposed to replace Xavier, turned to betray wizards by supporting the werewolves. War ensued. At that time, many wizards were scrambling to occupy Xavier''s throne and did not think about the humans'' miserable fate. Ace, waiting for Edith''s return for so long, chose to continue his training and become a wizard. Ace forced himself to master the four elements of magic. Although not perfect like Edith. Ace could already master white, black, green, and red magic. Ace thought that by being the strongest, he could bring Edith back to him. Then at the peak of the war with werewolves, Ace actually killed Edith because Edith had turned into a protector for werewolves. His heroic act made the wizards recognize Ace''s power and elevated him to be the supreme mage. Ace accepted the position while contemplating his fate. Ace closed himself by mourning the death of his lover. Until this moment, Ace seemed unable to forgive himself for killing Edith. It was a cold night. All the wizards looked calm, waiting for a reply from Alexander''s side. King was out of sight. He goes to track down Jimmy. The boy was extremely dangerous, and Ace couldn''t possibly allow that dark soul to roam the human world and injure humans. "Sigh." Alex sighed. Ace was actually also very upset, waiting for Alex''s answer. Ace worried about Eden''s condition. At lastly met, Eden looked so pale and so weak. Ace could not wait to see and know how the girl was? He regretted why he didn''t act in the first place. He should have just snatched Eden from Alex''s hands. But Ace also couldn''t take Eden just like that. "No¡­ no," he muttered. Ace shook his head and sighed again. Taking Eden would only spark another big war. And the wizards would be lost. They have outnumbered the werewolves. As a leader, of course, Ace could not be that selfish. "A whole day has gone by, and Alex hasn''t replied yet. Should we go there first?" Queen broke the silence. "No, Queen. Alex will see us as a threat." Ace rejected Queen''s idea. This red wizard nodded and returned to the front of her line. Flames burned brightly in the torches attached to the pillars. Before long, the fire swayed slowly, blown away by the flapping of an owl''s wings. The same owl that Ace sent to deliver the letter to Alex. The owl flew quietly to Ace''s side, perched on his arm. Ace picked up the scroll that lay in the owl''s claws. After that, the owl flew back, leaving the great hall. The wizards looked tense as Ace''s hand unrolled a small scroll. Handwriting. Ace read it, "Okay, let''s meet!" "Alex agrees." Ace breathed a sigh of relief. Ace hurried to his feet. He descended the marble staircase. Queen and Jack follow Ace, the three of them prepare to go to the tourmaline pack. Ace formed a seal with his hand and cast a spell. The sparks grew to create a large circle, wide enough for an adult to pass through. Ace, Queen, and Jack got into it. The three of them exited the portal and immediately stood right in front of the ethereal mansion¡ªthe headquarters of Tourmaline pack. The green grass stretched quite wide. In the center of the courtyard was a high fountain from white marble. An angel sculpture poured water on the fountain. The garden lights were shining beautifully. "Haven''t been here in a long time. The last time the black wolf was a little boy." Ace looked around the mansion. A large building like a palace, surrounded by a high stone fence with solid iron gates. Indeed they could blend well in the midst of human civilization. Reportedly, the Lupo Family even had its own business empire, being one of the wealthiest people on the continent. "Looks like they welcomed us right away, Lord," said Queen. "Wizards?! What are you doing here?" Dozens of werewolves surrounded the three intruders who arbitrarily appeared in the front yard of Ethereal. All the warriors showed their hard jaws with long fangs. Ace looked calm even though the wolves could kill him at any time. "I''ve got permission from your Alpha." Ace showed a small scroll with Alex''s handwriting, a reply. "But we didn''t ask you to come so soon!!" Kairos appeared among the warriors, Rosanne standing beside him with an equally savage gaze. The girl would accompany her mate if the fight occurred. "I came as fast as I could. What do you have to prepare to welcome us?" Ace asked. "Didn''t I tell you I offered peace? A temporary truce? As long as you obey, we are harmless!" he continued. Kairos reinserted his sharp nails. He asked all the warrior packs to remain on standby to keep the wizards from getting out of bounds while Kairos would go to report the arrival of the wizards to the alpha. While the tension was going on, their Alpha had fun with his little bunny. Relieve fatigue by hugging each other. When Alex was about to return to enjoying Eden''s beautiful body, a knock made Eden flinch. "Alex, stop!! There''s a guest!!" Eden patted Alex''s arm. "Leave them, Baby. They can wait!" Alex preferred to enjoy the sweet scent of his mate''s body. "What if it''s important?" Eden continued to struggle. Knock-knock! Again there was a knock on the door. At the entrance, Kairos wished that the alpha would open the door soon. "Alex!" Eden pushed Alex''s sturdy shoulder as the knock got louder. "Tsk, who the hell?" Alex grumbled. He felt very annoyed that someone was disturbing his fun. Knock¡­ knock! Alex sighed and got up to open the door. Eden rushed to tidy up her clothes. Her face was still red, and her hair was tangled. "What??" Alex snapped as he opened the door. Kairos immediately swallowed heavily. Did he just make the alpha lose his fun until being so scary? "Sorry, alpha. I have something important to tell you." Kairos stood up with a tense face. "Tell me, Kai!" "The Wizards have been in front of the Ethereal Mansion looking for you." Report Kairos. "Eh?" Alex was taken aback. It hadn''t even been an hour since he had sent a reply. Alex had just entered to rest, enjoying his lover''s arms, and trouble had arisen again. It sucks! Couldn''t they just come after Alex is done?? "They''re here?" "That''s right, Alpha, they came as soon as they received an answer from us. And now they are waiting for you out front," said Kairos. "Alright, let''s go meet them." Said Alex. "Alex!!" Eden called him. "Yes?" Alex turned. "Can I go too??" Eden ventured to ask Alex. Eden felt a connection with wizards. Why could she read ancient symbols? She was also curious about how she got into the cave? Who knows, by meeting the wizards, Eden could find out her true identity. "No!!" Rejected Alex firmly. "Please!!" Eden looked at Alex with teary eyes. "Do not persuade me!!" "Please, Alex. I promise I''ll always be by your side. I won''t let go of your hand." Eden pleaded once again. "Okay?" Eden begged. "Sigh¡­." Alex had no choice. Maybe Eden would be much safer to be around him than to leave Eden in the room alone. Alex didn''t know what kind of things they had to deal with and what the true goals of the wizards were. "Okay, stay close to me. Hide behind me if you''re scared." Alex took Eden. The girl nodded obediently and followed Alex. Alex, Eden, and Kai went downstairs and arrived before Ethereal. Alex split the crowd. He looked at Ace with a hater. "Long time no see, Kid!" Ace greeted. Alex used to be just a cute little wolf to him. Now he had grown into a very handsome and savage adult wolf. "We just met a few days ago." Alex sneered at Ace, who pretended to know him. Two days ago, they almost had a fistfight if Eden wasn''t dying. "I mean, the last time we met in good intentions." Ace smiled. He was the one who sealed Alex''s dangerous power. Alex''s parents invited Ace into their pack without a fight for Alexander''s sake. "Tsk... If only I had known you suppressed almost all of my strength. I probably wouldn''t have obeyed." Alex was annoyed. He touched his arm, which had an ancient symbol on it. Eden overheard behind Alex''s body. Eden felt the voice of this wizard was so familiar to her ears. Who was? [Similar to Ace''s voice.] Eden thought "Miguel Gray''s fault! He asked me to seal your power," replied Ace. "Eh???" Eden''s eyes widened when she heard that name. Of course, the name was familiar. Miguel Gray was his dad. ****** Chapter 64 - The Night Full Of Surprises A high tension atmosphere was brewing in front of the mansion. Alex came to meet Ace and his two other partners. The warriors surrounded the wizards with their fierce faces. Their eyes gleamed in the dark night like wild beasts about to pounce on their prey. But all the wizards remained calm and unaffected by their savage aura. "Tch... If only I knew you suppressed almost all of my strength. I''m absolute wouldn''t obey." Alex was annoyed; he touched his arm. The tattoo on his left arm was a gift from this white wizard. Alex''s parents used to ask Ace to seal Alex''s great power. The seal could only be released when Alex finds his mate so that she can share her soul and strength with Alex. At least that''s what Alex knew all this time. Eden heard behind Alex''s body. Eden''s tiny body made her easy to hide behind Alex''s stocky body. Eden strained her ears. She felt this wizard''s voice was so familiar to her ears. [Similar to Ace''s voice.] Eden thought to peek from behind Alex''s athletic back, but Alex''s height made Eden difficult to peek, even after she tiptoed. "That was Miguel Gray''s fault, not me! He was the one who asked me to seal your power," replied Ace. Miguel, who came to Red Tower, begged Ace to help Alex. And Alex''s parents, who had no choice, followed Miguel''s words to seal Alex''s power. Indeed, at that time, Alex''s strength prevented anyone from touching him, including his own parents. This made them both sad. "Don''t say that name!!" Alex snapped. "Eh???" Eden''s eyes widened; Miguel Gray was her dad. Why did the wizard mention her dad''s name? "You mean Miguel Grey?" Ace repeated it. "Shut up!! Don''t repeat that man''s name!! I don''t want to hear it." Alex snapped at Ace for saying the name he hated the most. The name of the person who killed his parents. Eden was getting confused. Why did Alex hate her daddy so much? [So dad has a relationship with wizards and werewolves?] Eden thought. Eden''s heart was pounding violently when she heard Ace and Alex''s words. Eden hoped to find out the truth about her dad''s death. "Why do you hate him so much, Little Wolf? He saved you. If the Supreme Mage had not suppressed your power, you might not have been able to live among them and be exiled in the forest. They would call you Tarzan." Jack sneered at Alex''s attitude. He didn''t return Miguel''s favor. "Shut up!!" Kairos snapped at the green wizard, who underestimated his alpha. "JACK!" Ace snapped at Jack. "All right, Lord!" Jack was scared and kept his mouth shut. Ace looked back at Alex with a flat gaze, but both seemed to be analyzing each other''s weaknesses and how to beat their rival. "What do you want to talk about? Say it quickly and get out of here." Alex clenched his fists in restraint. Eden could feel Alex''s immense anger through the vibrations of his body. "Miguel Grey. Tell me, where is he?" Ace asked Alex to the point. Miguel Gray was a warrior from the Tourmaline pack, and he was also the one who stole Edith''s necklace seventeen years ago. At least Alex would know something about Miguel and the bloodstone. "No, I don''t know. I''m also looking for that man myself. I''d kill him if we met." Alex clenched his fists. His face stiffened as all of his hated flowed out. "Eh???" Eden''s eyes widened when she heard Alex''s words. Alex would kill his father when they met. Why was Alex hated his father so much that he wanted to take his life? "What the hell did he do to you, huh?" Ace took a deep breath. Eden turned her ear again. "He''s the one who killed my parents," Alex''s answer made Eden''s tiny body flinch. Eden wider her eyes in disbelief. Her dad was the kindest and gentlest man in the world. How could he kill Alex''s parents? Eden paled, her tongue was dry, and her body trembled when she heard Alex''s words. Eden had just planted her seed of love for this black wolf, but a moment later, it turned back into doubt. Eden took a few steps back, but Alex''s hand held hers. Eden couldn''t escape. "I''m sorry to hear about it, Wolf." Ace took a deep breath. His searching into this place was vain. It turned out that Miguel Gray had left the Tourmaline pack. "Anything else? You said you were going to tell me about Eden?! Do you seem to know what''s sealed in that cave?! And what magic was in it?! What did that dark magic do with my girl?!" Alex gripped Eden''s hand tightly. Eden stopped shaking. She listened to the conversation again because Alex started mentioning about her. Eden was more and more curious about the riddles of her life. How many more surprises would she hear tonight? Ace tried to keep his facial expression calm, even though he missed Eden and wanted to know how she was. Ace was so worried about Eden as much as he was concerned about Edith, who never came back from the castle. "Eden is she okay?? How is her condition?" asked Ace. Eden was getting more and more suspicious. Why did this wizard seem to know her so well, and¡­ why did he know Eden was injured? Eden couldn''t hold back her curiosity anymore. She peeked behind Alex''s stocky arm. She was trying to see the great magician. What did he look like? Eden could see a man in a green robe, a woman with fiery red hair, and a red robe. Finally, Eden saw the tip of the silver robe men''s hooded hat. Eden traced the man down to his golden-brown hair and ended up in his clear blue eyes. The figure was none other than¡­ "Ace??!!" Eden screamed loud enough to break the tension. All eyes immediately turned to Eden. Alex, Ace, Kai, the wizards, and the wolves. All stared at Eden with lifted eyebrows. "Oops!" Eden covered her mouth with her palm. It looked like she had made a mistake. But Eden wasn''t wrong. The wizard who wore a white robe shining like silver was Ace. The leader of the basketball team at her school, also the man who had been her idol. If only she didn''t meet Alex, maybe Eden would have become his girlfriend. "Hello, E." Ace smiled sweetly at Eden. Glad to see the girl was doing well and excited as usual. "So, you''re truly Ace?" Eden swallowed her saliva upon learning of the shocking reality that her school idol was the strongest and supreme mage on the continent. "Yes, E. It''s me. Come here." Ace walked up to Eden to show the girl that he was not dangerous. Ace was still the same Ace at school. But Alex immediately hid Eden behind his body. This man was indeed an overprotective alpha. "What do you want?!" asked Alex fiercely. "Get out of the way, Wolf! I want to see how she''s doing." Ace''s eyes turned sharp because Alex was blocking his way. "I told you I would never let you touch my woman!!" Alex growled furiously, his jaw clenched, his canines sharpened. Eden panicked, why suddenly the atmosphere became extremely tense. What would happen if Alex and Ace fight here?? "Don''t be crazy!! You are a werewolf, and Eden is a human!!" Ace also assumed there''s no way Eden would be the mate of this crazy alpha. She could be suffocated to death, sucked into Alex''s tremendous soul. "Eden is my mate!!" Alex claimed Eden in front of all his pack members. All members of the pack were noisy. Was it true that this human is the mate of their King? They thought Eden was just Alex''s toy before meeting his mate. The mate of their alpha and the king of werewolves was an omega, seriously? "Don''t mess with me, Wolf! No human can stand enough to be mated with a strong alpha like you! You''ll kill her!!" Ace formed a seal with the hand. A bright light wrapped the hand. If Alex wanted to suck Eden''s soul, Ace couldn''t let him. He would take away Eden this time without a doubt. "You think I''m scared?" Alex pulled out his sharp nails. "You guys don''t fight!!" Eden came out from behind Alex''s back in a hurry. It was a dark night. Eden could not see her step road clearly. Eden accidentally tripped over a rock and fell forward. Alex and Ace saw and screamed together. "Eden!!" Alex caught Eden''s waist, and Ace tried to hold Eden''s arm. Ace could evident see Eden''s beautiful face. And the light around Ace''s hand reflected the sparkle on Eden''s necklace pendant. Ace''s eyes widened when he saw the red necklace hanging around Eden''s neck. The same necklace as his late lover''s. "Edith''s bloodstone!!" Ace whispered, dumbfounded. ****** Chapter 65 - Alexander VS Ace Alex caught Eden''s waist, and Ace tried to hold Eden''s arm. Ace could evident see Eden''s beautiful face. And the light around Ace''s hand reflected the sparkle on Eden''s necklace pendant. Ace''s eyes widened when he saw the red necklace hanging around Eden''s neck. The same necklace as his late lover''s. "Edith''s bloodstone!!" Ace whispered, dumbfounded. So, Edith''s necklace was in Eden''s hands. Why couldn''t he see it all this time? Even though Ace was always with Eden at school?! Ace cursed himself for being so stupid. But Eden always kept hiding the necklace behind her uniform or clothes, not wanting anyone else to see what her dad left for her. "Where did you get it, E?" Ace touched the bloodstone necklace. Eden''s face immediately turned pale. There was no way she could tell everyone there that the chain was his late father''s legacy, Miguel Grey. Alex would immediately hate her, and Ace would directly ask where his father was. Eden faced a difficult situation. Neither Ace nor Alex did not know yet that Eden was Miguel Grey''s daughter. There was no data including Miguel''s name on Eden''s family card. Miguel never registered his marriage to Vica. In the legal document, Eden was the daughter of Vica. "Get your hands off her!" Alex''s jealousy saved Eden from Ace''s question. Alex was too overprotective of Eden. He did not like to see another man touch his beloved girl''s hand for even a second. Ace was annoyed that Alex prevented him from finding out about the bloodstone necklace hanging around Eden''s neck. The necklace was the answer to his big problem. "Damn it! You didn''t give me a choice, Wolf!" Ace let out a bright light in both of his palms. Ace drew a sword of light from his palm. A great sword appeared. "Take Eden away from here, Kai!" Alex changes to werewolf combat mode. He tore off his top shirt. Black hairs grew all over his body. His jaw hardened, his bones grew stronger, his fangs elongated. Alex''s nails were bold black like steel. Alex''s eyes flashed red, a sign of his overflowing strength. "Come on, Luna!!" Kairos pulled Eden''s hand. "No!! Let go, Kai!" Eden didn''t want to go. She struggled from Kairos'' embrace. Eden had to break up the fight because Eden didn''t want them to be hurt. Eden was the reason for all trouble tonight. All the warriors did the same, changing into battle mode. The Wizards didn''t want to lose. Queen formed a magic seal with her hand. The night sky seemed to open. A huge black hole with a flash of lightning gaped, a giant lion with wings and eagle''s claws came out from inside the black hole. Everyone''s eyes widened at the magical creature they could only hear from in fairy tales. Eden also fell when she saw a griffin appear in front of Ethereal Mansion. Griffins were mythical creatures, but aren''t myths also based on history? People couldn''t describe the form of the beast if they had never seen them. "ROAR!" The winged lion roared, it made all the warriors in Pack gulp heavily, but all the werewolves didn''t back down. They would rather die than be a coward. They were still holding out until there was an order from the alpha to attack. "Dare to step in to interfere with this match. The griffin will chop your heads off!" Queen stroked Griffin''s head. They didn''t realize that the Red wizard''s skills were just an illusion. All of their creations were not real. She was good at exploiting the fear in the human heart. Jack watched Ace and Alex standing tall in the middle of a green field. Jack had not seen Ace take out his sword of light in a long time. Ace killed Edith with this sword too. Love, hope, and long waiting turned Ace so strong that he could turn LUMINOS into a weapon. Ace condensed his LUMINOS into a sword. But Jack was also fascinated by Alex. Even though in front of him, Ace took out a weapon, and Queen created a Griffin. Alex wasn''t afraid at all, and he wasn''t backward, even a single step. This man still stood tall as if he could finish the match and come out victorious. "Why are you so eager to snatch Eden from me?" asked Alex. Eden must have a special meaning for Ace. "How many times do I have to tell you?! I will protect humanity from the devil. And I won''t let you kill Eden." Ace pointed at Alex with the tip of his sword. "How could I kill her?? Have you been insane?? She''s my mate!!" Alex laughed at Ace''s silliness. "Eden is a human. And if you are determined to mark her as your mate, don''t you already know the risk?! The seal of your power will be opened. Instead of sharing your soul, Eden will die because of exhaustion holding your mighty soul or even her soul being sucked in by your soul!" Ace explained the reason why Eden could die if Alex marked her. Alex looked at Eden, who was still struggling in Kairos'' grip. Was Eden going to die if she got his mark?? Eden''s eyes filled with tears as she looked at Alex. She begged to be released. Eden asked Alex not to fight with Ace with her eyes. "Give up, Wolf!! Give Eden to me, and we don''t have to fight!" Ace plunged his sword into the ground. Alex felt very confused, but his love for Eden made Alex selfish. He didn''t want to lose Eden from his side, imagining it made Alex''s heart jump haphazardly. "I will never let Eden go. And if marking her will kill her, I will never mark her as my Luna." Alex didn''t want to give Eden to Ace. His love was too deep to be willing to sacrifice so much. All the warriors who were there were shocked by Alex''s answer. Alex would not mark Eden, but did not want to let Eden goes either. Had the Alpha gone mad? That means they won''t have Luna. And How could Alexander Lupo have children? If he didn''t have. Then to whom would the legacy of the Lupo family be inherited? "Alex!!" Called Eden. Her heart hurt to heard Alex said that. It''s mean Alex very very loves her. Eden felt guilty. Alex loves her so much, but it turned out that Eden was the child of the man who killed his parents. Eden''s eyes dropped tears. The moon goddess or whoever made Alex''s fateful love bond with her was cruel! "Final offers?" "Still No!" "Then die!!" Ace drew his sword and stepped forward to face Alex. Ace''s left hand came another bright light and formed a transparent light shield. Alex jumped fast forward to tear Ace apart. Ace protected himself from Alex''s slashes with his shield. The shield broke and disappeared due to Alexander''s immense power, but the shield managed to save Ace. Ace counterattacked, he swung his sword, slashing Alex''s body. Alexander jumped back and dodged quickly. Ace''s slash caused an energy surge effect. The wind that came from Ace''s swinging sword scratched Alex''s chest. Fresh blood appeared, but the wound immediately closed. Ace made another transparent shield, the light was blinding, making all the audience squint to see the fierce battle. Everyone swallowed hard watching the game. Tension was brewing, the warriors were getting impatient to help their Alpha, but the Griffin kept roaring and leaping in front of anyone who wanted to interfere. Through the scary creature, Queen hypnotized them and instilled fear. "Give up, Alex!" Ace swung his sword again, this time with a agile move that cornered Alex. "Never!!" Alex jumped up and made Ace''s sword a foothold. He focused his strength on his legs and pushed Ace. Ace bounced and was pushed back. Ace plunged his sword into the ground as a brake and slowed down. Alex did not waste this opportunity. He immediately rushed to tear Ace''s head. Ace didn''t want to lose. He hadn''t given up. Ace cast time magic. A few meters radius around him stopped rotating. Time slowed down. Everyone froze in Ace''s spell. Including Alex. Ace drew his sword and aimed the blade right at Alex''s heart. Ace would kill Alex in one stab. "No! ALEEXXX!!!" Eden exclaimed, the girl was not frozen in the flow of time Ace created. Jack the green wizard looked confused. Eden broke free and escaped Kairos'' grip because Kairos'' body was frozen in the flow of time. As a time wizard, Jack knew that only the strong wizard could fight back the magic of time. So?? was Eden a strong wizard? She didn''t affect by Ace''s magic. How could a little girl stop the supreme mage''s spell?! Eden ran into the middle of the fight to protect Alex from Ace''s sword. Jack was trying to pull Eden''s body for not to interfere with the fight and gets hurt. But it was too late. Eden was in their midst, stretching out her arms as Ace turned back time to normal. STAB!! Alex''s sharp nails pierced Eden''s right chest¡­. and ¡­. Ace''s sword pierced Eden''s stomach. Alex and Ace''s eyes widened like tonight''s full moon when they saw Eden in their midst. "NOOOOO!!!" Alex shouted. "NOOOOO!!" Ace shouted no less loudly. Fresh blood dripped from Eden''s mouth. Eden''s tiny body was pierced by Alex''s sharp nails and Ace''s light sword. "EDEN!!!!" The two shouted at the same time. ****** Chapter 66 - Eden’s Question Alex''s sharp nails pierced Eden''s right chest¡­. and ¡­. Ace''s sword pierced Eden''s stomach. Alex and Ace''s eyes widened like tonight''s full moon when they saw Eden in their midst. "NOOOOO!!!" Alex shouted. "NOOOOO!!" Ace shouted no less loudly. Fresh blood dripped from Eden''s mouth. Eden''s tiny body was pierced by Alex''s sharp nails and Ace''s light sword from the front and back. "Cough!" Eden coughed and spurted blood from her mouth. "EDEN!!!!" The two shouted at the same time. Eden immediately collapsed as soon as the sword of light disappeared, and Alex pulled out his fingernails. Alex held Eden''s body from falling to the ground while Ace immediately jumped to Eden''s side and chanted a healing spell. Ace was a white wizard, and he had the best ability in healing magic. "Eden¡­ open your eyes, Girl. I''m sorry!" Alex''s face was tense and sweaty. He had hurt the woman he loved the most in this world with his own hands. Could you imagine how broken Alex''s heart is right now? "Please don''t leave me!!" Alex''s hands trembled, his black hair messed up, covering his handsome face. Tears fell when Alex saw his palms covered in fresh blood. Eden''s blood. Eden protected Alex when Ace was about to kill him. She was willing to sacrifice her life for Alex''s safety. "Please¡­please!!" Ace tried to treat Eden¡­ his hands kept on shining, his face was no less tense and chaotic than Alex''s. Unknowingly, the image of Edith''s face when Alex stabbed her with the sword of light replayed. Ace scared. Afraid that Eden would become like Edith, die by his hands. "Hold on, girl!" The tough man was crying. "Stop whimpering!!! I''m treating her!" Ace was annoyed with Alex''s sobs. Alex made his concentration disperse. Red blood gave color to Ace''s white robes. The heavy bleeding and her tore body made Eden unconscious. Eden fell lifeless in Alex''s arms, her whole body as cold as ice. "Please, Baby Girl. Open your eyes." Alex kissed Eden''s forehead, trying to channel his soul, nothing had change. His soul couldn''t be directed because Alex hadn''t marked Eden yet. "Come on, E!! Please!! Please!!" Ace growled. He let out more LUMINOS until a bright white light covered Eden''s whole body. Eden still kept her eyes closed. Nothing happened. Too much blood came out. Eden was dying, stood between life and death. "Please, E!" shouted Ace. He added his strength, dredging the power until there was nothing left. A moment later. Ace managed to stop Eden''s bleeding. Eden''s wounds slowly closed. Alex continued to hug Eden and didn''t move from her side at all. His heart was anxious, his heart was pounding violently, his whole body was shaking, and his muscles were limp. His mind was chaotic to the point of going mad. Alex had never felt this madness in his life, even when he lost his father and mother. "Hmmm..." Eden began to respond. She muttered softly when she was starting to feel the excruciating pain. Her whole body was limp, cold sweat dripping down from her forehead. Eden felt her aching stomach and chest flowing with warmth. Gradually the pain disappeared, replaced by a sense of comfort. Ace was relieved. He managed to treat Eden even though his strength was drained. Eden started to blink her eyes. The eyelids were so heavy. Eden was so tired, sleepy, and weak from losing a lot of blood. "Get away from her, Wolf!!" Ace pushed away Alex''s hand, which was still holding Eden tightly. "No!!" Alex pushed Ace''s hand away. "How long are you guys going to fight because of me?" asked Eden in a low voice. "Are you awake, girl?" Alex was immediately happy to hear Eden could speak. "How are you? Is there anything else that hurts?" Ace grabbed Eden''s hand. Eden shook her head. Her body had gotten better, and nothing was sick anymore. "You''re great, Ace! Just like your name. Thank you so much for saving me." Eden glanced to Ace, who had healed her. "It''s all my fault." Ace lowered his face in shame. Eden smiled shortly. "Alex, can you carry me to my room? I''m so sleepy," asked Eden. "Of course, Girl." "I''ll be by your side! If anything is still hurt." Ace got up. Alex saw Eden''s pale and weak face. There might not be anything wrong with leaving this wizard beside Eden for a while. His ability to use healing magic could be helpful when Eden needed him. Alex had to thank him anyway. Thanks to Ace, Eden was able to survive. "Fine. But leave as soon as Eden gets better." Alex took a deep breath. Ace followed Alex into his room. Alex asked the other maids to change Eden''s bloodstained clothes into clean clothes. Alex and Ace waited outside. Alex leaned against the entrance while Ace leaned against the room''s front wall. Ace folded his arms in front of his chest, his eyes sharp on Alex. Alex was also the same. He put his hands in his pants pockets, while his eyes didn''t move from Ace. They looked at each other with a hateful gaze. But held themself not to fight for Eden. Their minds were full of questions. Curious about each other relationship with Eden. "How did a wizard-like you know Eden? Since when did you love her?" Alex asked as a fellow man. Ace would not have tried hard to save Eden if he had no feelings for this girl. "What about you?? How can an alpha like you claim a human as his mate?" Ace asked back. He had never seen a werewolf claiming a human before. The mate of Werewolves was fated even while they were in the womb. Only werewolves born from bites did not have a mate, but they could acquire a mate by biting humans and marking them. Unfortunately, that never happened anymore because since the wizards won the war, werewolves were not allowed to bite and turn humans into their kind. "Did you bite her???" asked Ace. "Did you see Eden heal herself??" Alex was annoyed. If he could change Eden, he would. Too bad, Alex once bit to mark Eden. But instead of a marking sign, it was the blood pouring out of Eden''s wrist. "¡­." Both fell silent. So who was Eden? Human? Wolf? Wizard? As the two were struggling with their thoughts about Eden, the two maids who helped Eden change clothes came out. The two of them nudged each other, discussing who would report it. "What is it?" Alex saw their behavior and asked. "So.. sorry, Alpha. Miss Eden wants to see Mr. Wizard. But you are not allowed to enter." They stuttered while conveying Eden''s request. It was inevitable that Alex would reject Eden''s request, but Eden said that only Ace could enter. "I can''t. I have to go in too!! What if this old man hurts Eden?" Alex pointed at Ace. "Hey!! What do you think I''m healing her for if I want to hurt her?!" Ace raised his voice. "What if he takes a chance and kidnaps Eden." Alex also raised his voice. They made the two maids shivered in fear. Well ... who was not afraid after seeing the match earlier. A match between two great powers. "I''m a wizard, Wolf! I''m a gentleman, not a demon like you who has no manners." Ace pressed Alex''s hard chest with the tip of his index finger. "I don''t like backstabbing!" "So¡­sorry, Alpha. Miss Eden said if you don''t allow it. Then she will leave." The servant said according to Eden''s advice. "Tch!" Alex snorted and moved away from the front door. Alex had no choice. There was nothing more terrifying in this world than his little bunny leaving his side. Ace smirked and took off his white hood. He patted Alex''s shoulder as he walked into the room. Eden lie down limp while staring at the ceiling. Eden thought about Alex''s and Ace''s words. Many questions started popping up in her mind. Why was Ace looking for Miguel? Why did Miguel have the heart to kill Alex''s parents? What would happen if Alex finds out Eden is the daughter of his parents'' killer? But the question that made Eden curious the most was, Who is she?? Human? Wizard? Werewolf? "Hi, E." Ace went inside, Eden turned her eyes. Eden''s tears fell when he saw Ace coming closer. Ace immediately ran to hug this fragile little creature. "Shh¡­ sorry, I won''t do it again." Ace stroked Eden''s back to stop her crying. Eden nodded. She wiped her tears and began to gather courage to get answers about her life. Eden kept hoping that the man named Miguel Grey -they were referring to- was not her father but a werewolf or another human with the same name. "Ace. May I ask a question?" "Of course, E." "Miguel Grey, the man that you asked Alex, what does he look like? And¡­ why are you looking for him?" Eden''s question made Ace raise an eyebrow. "Why do you want to know him, E?" ******** Chapter 67 - Never Take That Necklace Off, E! Eden nodded. She wiped her tears and gathered questions to get true answers about her life. Eden kept hoping that the Miguel Grey they referred to was not her daddy but a werewolf or another human with the same name. "Ace. May I ask a question?" Eden ventured to ask Ace. She wanted to hear that her dad wasn''t a murderer. What else a murderer who was killing the parents of the man she loves. "Of course, E." "Miguel Grey, the one you asked Alex, what does he look like? And¡­ why are you looking for him?" Eden''s question made Ace raise an eyebrow. "Why do you want to know about him, E?" Ace probed. Eden gripped the blanket covering her body tightly. Her heart was beating fast. Should she tell Ace the truth? Was it Okay? Was Alex eavesdropping outside the door? Eden was afraid that Alex would walk away from her when he found out the truth about what was happening in the past. "Miguel Grey has gray hair like you, pointed nose, bright green eyes." Ace smiled. Eden was disappointed because the Miguel that Ace meant was her dad. Ace saw the change in Eden''s face and asked, "Do you know him? Did he give you this necklace?" Ace pointed to the bloodstone necklace. Eden looked towards the entrance, afraid that Alex would hear from behind the door. Ace knew Eden''s behavior. He cast a spell and turned the room into soundproof, so Alex would be deaf. "Tell me, E. The crazy wolf won''t be able to hear you," said Ace. Eden swallowed her saliva before dare to said. "Do you know about my necklace? What is it, Ace?" Asked Eden. Ace took out the same necklace from under his robe. Eden blinked in confusion. Ace''s bloodstone necklace was much more radiant because its owner had great magical power. Meanwhile, Eden''s bloodstone had dimmed because Edith had died. "Eh?? You have one too?" Eden was shocked to see Ace''s necklace, which was the same as hers. "This necklace belongs to the wizards, E. All wizards have. This necklace holds name and also the memories of the owner of the necklace. The goal is to keep the magic spell eternal. And I happen to know who owns your necklace." Ace smiled. "You know the owner? Who?" "Right, her name is Edith. She has green and blue eyes like you. She has the same gray hair as you too. That''s why we call her Edith Grey." Ace smiled. He took Eden''s long hair and smelled it. Felt the same tenderness Edith had. The feeling of longing returned to Ace''s heart. "Edith Grey?" Eden covered her mouth in disbelief. Eden''s eyes widen. Wasn''t Edith Gray the first alpha of the Tourmaline pack? How come she also had a bloodstone? So she''s a wizard too? Werewolf as well as wizard, how could? Eden looked at the pendant of the necklace. The iron frame on the bloodstone had the initial name ''E''. Eden thought this was her initial, apparently not. That was the name of the previous owner of this necklace, Edith. "My dad gave this necklace to me." Eden stroked the necklace''s pendulum longingly. "He stole it from the Tree of Life. It doesn''t belong to him, E. It''s also the reason I''m here." Ace stroked the pendant of the necklace. His heart ached when he saw the red gem had dimmed. "My father stole it? But what for?" Eden asked Ace. Ops, Eden was getting more confused. She didn''t get any answers about her life''s truth, and her life just got more complicated. For sure, Eden didn''t want to believe that her father was a murderer and thief because Miguel''s figure that Eden remember was a very gentle and kind person. "I''m curious too, E. And¡­ I can only find out if you give me the necklace back." Ace opened his palm, asking for Eden''s necklace. "No! My dad told me not to take off my necklace." Eden refuses. The necklace was the only thing left by his dad. Even though Miguel got it by stealing, that didn''t mean Ace could grab it. "I''ll just borrow it, E. I''ll return it right away after I finish checking out Edith''s memories." Ace convinced Eden that she could have the necklace after Ace finished checking Edith''s memories. Ace wanted to unite his memory with the memory of his late lover. Ace must immediately dismantle it before Fenrir raised to got his strength back. Eden was still hesitant to give up the necklace because she remembered his father''s words, so Eden would not let go of the necklace for a second. No and never! "It won''t take long. I''ll return it once I''m done. Seriously Eden. All of this is for the sake of humankind." Ace grabbed Eden''s hand. "You promise?" asked Eden. "Yes." Ace nodded. Eden took off her bloodstone necklace and gave the necklace to Ace. After the necklace left her side, Eden felt her body become strange. "Ugh!!" Eden covered her ears with palms. The voices around her became so loud. Even the sound of Alex''s breathing outside could be heard. "My head hurts!" Eden complained. Ace was confused when he saw Eden was curled up in pain because her senses became very sensitive. Ace didn''t want Alex to enter before he finished talking to Eden. So He locked the door. "Calm down, E!! Calm down!!" Persuade Ace. But Eden was still struggling while covering her ears. Sharp black nails appeared-disappeared from Eden''s fingers. Eden accidentally scratched herself and got hurt. Fresh blood dripped, but soon the wound healed again. Ace''s eyes widen in disbelief, Eden was a werewolf, and this necklace was a barrier to keep her strength from coming out so Eden could live as an ordinary human. Ace stared at Edith''s necklace. Could Edith put a lot of magic on the necklace? But how did Miguel Grey know that Edith''s necklace had magical powers that could suppress Eden''s energy? Edith and Miguel lived hundreds of years apart. "It hurts!!!" Eden shouted. Ace snapped out of his thoughts. The man rushed to drape the bloodstone necklace around Eden''s neck. Eden calmed down and lowered her hand from her ears. Eden was so scared. Why did her body suddenly become weird? "Are you all right, E?" Ace stroked Eden''s beautiful face full of sweat, and then smoothed her hair. Eden just nodded, still in shock from what she had experienced. "What happened?? What did I go through, Ace?? Why was there such a loud sound echoing in my ears? Then I could smell all sorts of strange smells." Eden continued to ask frantically. Ace sighed. He couldn''t remove the bloodstone necklace from Eden''s neck because the girl wasn''t used to the werewolf''s instincts. Ace had to come up with a new plan. Ace didn''t want Alex to knew that Eden was a werewolf. It was the same as letting Alex claim Eden as his mate. Ace didn''t want Alex to get Eden. He did not want to repeat the same mistake once more time, let another man snatch his lover. Moreover, Eden was very similar to the late Edith. Every time Ace saw Eden, the longing in his heart always rises. Every time Ace saw Eden, the guilt in his heart always became much lighter. "Ace..." "No, you must be shocked because you lost a lot of blood and became weak. You received so much of my energy, and maybe your body isn''t strong enough to accept magic. You should get a lot of reat, E." Ace shook his head to calm Eden''s heart. Ace, who saw the opportunity, tried to gamble with his love fate again. Who knew, he could have Eden and keep her away from Alex. "You returned my necklace?" Eden looked down and looked back at her necklace. "Maybe next time, E. Didn''t your father tell you not to take it off?" Ace tapped Eden''s shoulder. Eden frowned. Curious. First, Ace wanted to see it so badly. For a moment then, he returned it. But Eden also didn''t care because she had much more serious problems about the truth about her dad''s past and hers. "Was it true that my father killed Alex''s father and mother?" Eden asked Ace. "That''s what Alex said to me." Ace nodded. Eden looked down while squeezing her fingers. She became afraid. Afraid that Alex would find out and hate her. Before Alex knew the truth, Eden would find out why his father killed Alex''s parents. There must be a reason because Eden knew her father was not a murderer. "Please keep this secret from Alex, please, Ace." Eden touched Ace''s hand. "Okay, I won''t say." Ace smiled, calming Eden''s heart. But wouldn''t it be OK if Queen told Alex? "Thanks, Ace. I owe you a lot." Eden hugged Ace. Ace stroked Eden back. A thin grin appeared on Ace''s handsome face. Finally, Ace had a reason to snatch Eden from Alex. This time Ace would never let go of his love again. Eden must be his. And¡­ when Eden fell in his arms. Ace believed he could solve all the riddles that Edith left and uncovered the hints about how to destroy Fenrir. Humanity would be saved, and Eden would be his. [Right, never take that necklace off, E!] Ace thought. ******** Chapter 68 - Im Sorry, Alex! Outside, Alexander tried to hear their conversation. From the moment Ace entered the room, the man kept sticking his ear to the door. He even set the frequency of his hearing ability to full power, but¡­ no sound was heard!! [Nothing is heard!! Damn it! The wizard must have spelled this room to make it soundproof!] Alex thought, continuously grumbling because he was annoyed that he couldn''t know what Eden and Ace were talking about in there. While Alex paced in front of his room without being able to do anything, Eden was having a serious conversation with Ace. Eden was still shocked when she found out that her father had killed Alex''s parents. Eden was afraid that Alex would hate her when he uncovered all these bitter facts. "Please keep this a secret to Alex, please, Ace." Eden touched Ace''s hand, Staring with pity. "Okay, I won''t say." Ace smiled, calming Eden''s heart. But Ace had other plans. Ace wouldn''t tell Alex as his promise. But wouldn''t it be okay if Queen told Alex? "Thanks, Ace. I owe you a lot." Eden hugged Ace. Ace stroked Eden back. A thin grin appeared on Ace''s handsome face. Finally, Ace had a reason to snatch Eden from Alex. This time Ace would never let go of his love again. Eden must be his. Back to Alex. The two omegas who served Eden changing clothes could only look down in fear because of Alex''s terrifying aura. The man did not stop walking back and forth in front of the room with a wrinkled face. Alex didn''t know what Eden was talking about with Ace. And what Ace said to Eden. The relationship between Wizards and Werewolves was terrible. And Ace could have influenced Eden''s mind to hate him. Or Ace invited Eden to leave his side? Argh!! Alex scratched his head in annoyance. "That''s enough!! This is too long! I''m going in!" Alex decided to break down the door. But before he could break-in, the dark oak door swung open. Ace smiled at Alex and put his hood back on. Alex became even more annoyed. Ace''s smile seemed to say,'' Hey loser, I''ve won! I''ll get Eden!'' "What are you talking about?" Alex grabbed Ace''s shoulder. "Get your dirty hands off my robe!! I don''t like the smell of stray dog sticking on my robe." Ace brushed Alex''s hand off. Alex growled. He hated this man!! It felt like he wanted to tear, sliver, and shred, crushing his flesh and bone until nothing was left. If only Alex could release his original power from the magic seal right now, indeed, Alex would kill Ace at The first line. Too bad his little bunny was still too weak, unable to receive a mark from him yet. "I''m leaving, Wolf! Take good care of Eden!! Watch out if you hurt her!! I''ll take her away from here!! Don''t even try to mark her!! You know what the consequences are to her, right?! You only will hurt her." Ace warned Alex not to mark Eden. Right now, Eden was a human, marking Eden was tantamount to killing her. Alex turned to Eden, who was sitting on the bed while looking back at Alex. Alex took a deep breath. Of course, he didn''t want to lose this girl. Eden was his love, his life, his world, his breath, and also his half soul. There was no way Alex would have acted so recklessly. Alex would find a way to mark Eden without hurting her. Eden''s eyes filled with tears seeing Alex. Alex''s great love touched Eden''s heart. The girl began to reciprocate the alpha''s love. Seeing Alex so tormented by their current condition hurt Eden''s heart. But¡­ would Alex be able to understand and still love her if he found out about all the truth? Ace just stared at the two blankly, letting Alex enjoy the last moments before Ace snatched them away. Ace would snatch Eden from Alex''s hands. Ace would make Alex hate Eden and chase the girl out with his own hands. Ace needed a strategy. Ace needed a scenario to make Alex hate Eden without Eden knowing that Ace was the mastermind behind it. "I go!" Ace made a seal while reciting the spell. A shining hole appeared and engulfed his body in an instant. Alex rushed to Eden as soon as the freaking threat disappeared. Alex hugged Eden. He kissed her tiny face to the top of her head and neck. Without pause, feeling Eden''s warm body temperature made Alex happy. Inhaling her body scent made Alex grateful. "Alex, stop!!" Eden chuckled. This girl tried to smile and live her life again as if she didn''t know anything. Even though, to be honest, Eden was the one who was suffering the most right now. "I''m sorry, I''m sorry, Girl!! I''m too weak. I''m so weak that you have to die for protecting me." Alex cried on Eden''s shoulder. As a man, Alex felt like a failure. Alex could not protect the woman he loves, and Eden was the one who protects him, willing to sacrifice so that Alex didn''t die. Eden put up a body for him to accept the sharpness of Ace''s sword. "The important thing is that it''s over now. And I''m fine. There''s nothing for you to cry about, Alex!" Eden stroked Alex''s head, stroking his thick black hair. Eden''s caress calmed Alex. Alex nodded, his hands tightly wrapped around Eden''s body. Eden didn''t mind. She actually felt safe and comfortable. Eden likes Alex''s hug. It was like getting a lot of love that she had never reached before. Eden felt her burden lifted as she embraced Alex while inhaling his body scent. "What are you talking about?" asked Alex curiously. Why did the two of them chat for so long? What was so secret that Alex couldn''t hear it. "I was asking, how about summer camp? Was it canceled? What about the teachers and other friends. Did their program gets interrupted because of me?" Eden explained to Alex that she was only worried about her school because she''s been missing for a few days. Alex was silent for a moment as if judging. Eden''s heart wasn''t beating fast, indicating that the girl wasn''t lying. "Just a common thing, why can''t I come in?? Don''t know how worried I was out there? I was pacing like crazy because I couldn''t hear it." Alex protested. Eden breathed a sigh of relief hearing Alex''s words. Thankfully, Alex didn''t seem to have overheard her conversation with Ace at all. "I just don''t want you to fight anymore. Ace isn''t a bad guy. He helped me a lot at school, ex. I also just wanted to thank him for healing me." Eden was looking for an excuse. This girl also felt guilty. Since when did she become so good at lying?? Maybe love made her be like this. She was afraid of losing Alex''s love. So Eden would do all kinds of ways to cover up that she was Miguel Grey''s daughter-- The man who killed Mr. and Mrs. Lupo. [Sorry, Alex. Sorry, I lied to you. Give me some time until I figure out the reason. Why did my dad kill your parents.] Eden thought. Eden hugged Alex even tighter, leaning on his sturdy chest while enjoying the intoxicating aroma like nicotine that made her brain relax. "Tch, don''t defend other men in front of me, Baby! I don''t like it." Alex sulked because Eden was still praising Ace''s kindness. "Hihihi¡­ are you jealous, pervert wolf?" Eden teased Alex so that the melancholy atmosphere ended soon. So that Alex could quickly divert his attention to other things, because Eden won''t be able to hide this anxiety any longer. "Why would I be jealous! You''re only mine!" Alex claimed while kissing Eden''s lips. Eden nodded slowly. "Yes, yes, I am yours." Eden rubbed her face against Alex''s handsome face. They enjoy the warm temperature, heartbeat, and also steady rhythms of breathing as if the two were one body. "And never sacrifice again for my sake, Girl! I can take care of myself. I won''t lose. I promise I''ll keep on winning for you. And even if that wizard''s sword pierces my chest! I can definitely recover! So please don''t use your body recklessly. Don''t be my shield! Do you know how much it breaks my heart to see you fall lifeless, huh?" Alex pinched Eden''s cheeks in exasperation. "I ¡­" "Sshhh¡­ you just can''t! Do you think that by sacrificing your life for mine, I will live well? I could die of misery, you know!" Alex put his index finger in front of Eden''s lips, interrupting her words. "But ¡­!" Eden was about to protest. How could she see Alex hurt? "Eden Grey! Why are you so stubborn?! Promise you won''t jump in the middle of a fight like that again just to protect me! Promise me now!" said Alex fiercely. "What if I don''t want to?" "Then I will punish you until you promise!" Alex pushed Eden''s body under his body. Their glance looked at each other passionately. "In what way?!" Eden teases Alex. "With this way ¡­." ****** Chapter 69 - Your Fight Is My Fight [ Mature contain, Explicit scenes! Not for underage 18. So please be wise in reading and responding. ] ***** Sshhh¡­ you just can''t! Do you think that by sacrificing your life for mine, I will live well? I could die of misery, you know!" Alex put his index finger in front of Eden''s lips, interrupting her words. "But ¡­!" Eden was about to protest. How could she see Alex hurt? "Eden Grey! Why are you so stubborn?! Promise you won''t jump in the middle of a fight like that again to protect me! Promise me right now!" said Alex fiercely. Eden smiled and looked so deep into Alex''s eyes, [when you''re by my side, what else I should doubt? What should I be afraid of other than losing you?] "What if I don''t want to?" asked Eden back. "I will punish you until you promise me!" Alex pushed Eden''s body under his body, laying down on the bed. "In what way?!" Eden teased Alex. "With this way!" Alex held Eden''s wrists above her head. Alex''s lips immediately landed on Eden''s lips. Crushed it very greedily, Alex didn''t let Eden''s lips escape for a second. Eden sighed between their kisses, trying to catch her breath to fill her lungs. Alex didn''t give her permission to leave her lips on his. Alex put his tongue inside her mouth, playing agile, And stuffed it. Eden could taste the freshness of citrus aroma all over her mouth. So addicted, intoxicated. Alex felt the same way. The sweet vanilla began to spread all over his mouth. "How? Still not willing to obey?" Alex looked up, their kiss breaking. Alex erased the rest of the saliva on Eden''s lips. Eden shook her head with a smile. Alex became excited by the behavior of this naughty rabbit. This little rabbit was no longer fierce but was naughty because she didn''t want to obey the alpha''s words. Alex kissed Eden''s neck, licking it. His tongue moved slowly up to behind the ear and ended with a soft bite on Eden''s earlobe. Eden sighed softly, tickled with pleasure. Alex continued, the wet kiss going down to the crook of Eden''s neck and down to her collarbone. Alex started sucking the front of Eden''s chest softly and left a red stain there. "How? Still don''t want to promise?" Alex asked again. Eden bit her lower lip while she shook her head. She smiles mischievously. "The next punishment will make you scream for mercy, Baby. You really won''t promise to interfere in my fight?" Alex stroked Eden''s beautiful face and ended up pinching her chin. "Your fight is my fight, my Alpha," Eden replied. Alex grinned happily at Eden''s words, which meant she was falling in love with Alex. "Then, My breath is your breath!" Alex kissed Eden''s lips again, sucking them wildly and full of energy. The two of them shared the same air in every inhale of their breath. Eden wrapped her arms around Alex''s neck. Alex lowered his shoulders further down to Eden''s body. Alex occasionally smiled between their kisses. Eden looked so hard to regulate the rhythm of her breathing and heartbeat. Alex''s hand touched her stomach and went up to Eden''s chest. Playing naughty there. "Ugh, Alex." Eden moaned as Alex''s hands started to play with the center of her breast. With his index finger, Alex rotated hers. Eden felt the delighted pleasure back. Alex squeezed Eden''s boobs. Turn Clockwise and that counterclockwise. So tender, full of affection. She moaned louder, sighing with warm breath. This love burned Eden''s desire for lust. Hearing Eden''s sigh made Alex even more excited. Alex hugged Eden, felt the warm skin that touched with skin. Alex took a deep sip in her fair skin around her nipple and then bit the center of it. "Ugh!! Alex." Eden grabbed Alex''s black hair as a form of pleasure. "You are my world. I''ll always win for you, My Luna." Alex kissed Eden''s wrist. Eden was sobbing; listening to Alex''s promise made her want to cry. A beautiful addiction rose from her heart when she heard it, but Eden swallowed hard when she remembered the past. Eden hoped Ace could find the truth about Miguel Grey as soon as possible -as he promised to Eden- before Alex did. "Why are you crying, Baby?" Alex erased a drop of tear. Eden immediately shook her head didn''t want Alex to get curious. "I''m just too happy to hear that, Alex." Eden warped her arms around Alex''s neck. Alex lowered his hand from Eden''s breast to the stomach and started to tuck into her panties. Eden gasped; she held Alex. "Let me touch it, Girl!" Alex touched Eden''s feminine area gently. Eden squirmed as Alex''s rough hand gripped her body. To felt something getting wet and slippery inside the panties. Alex touched the clit with his fingers. "Sigh¡­ Alex¡­." Eden sighed. Alex immediately greeted Eden''s sigh with an intimate kiss. "Alex, stop it. I feel weird!" Eden held Alex''s hand from moving deeper. Eden''s breath hitched, her heart pounding faster. Eden''s body temperature slowly started to rise, getting hotter and hotter. Alex''s finger play made Eden burn. Alex was panting, his face redder, getting as hot as Eden. His desire peaked, his manhood stiffened so hard like a rock. Alex wanted to have sex with his girl, but suddenly Ace''s words appeared. "You will hurt Eden. She is a human, and no human can stand against a powerful alpha like you." Alex let go of his touch. If he moved further away, maybe Alex would not be able to hold himself back. He would devour Eden until nothing was left. If that so, Alex indeed bit Eden and left a mark on her body. Could Eden survive being his mate? Or die like Ace''s "It''s enough. You should get plenty of rest, Baby. I''ll have the maid prepare some food." Alex stroked Eden''s cheek and tidied her clothes. Eden looked disappointed; unfinished desire made her annoyed. But Eden must understand, Alex did it for her sake. "I don''t want to eat, Alex. I want to be with you. Sleep with me, Alex. Sleep beside me." Eden whimpered. Alex smiled. He slept beside Eden and hugged his girl from behind. Alex loves this girl, loves her very much. Whether human, werewolf, or wizard, Alex didn''t care. As long as he could be with Eden forever. Because for Alex, Eden was his world. Eden was his life, his everything. "I love you, baby girl," Alex whispered in Eden''s ear affectionately. Eden''s face warmed. She got a love confession from Alex. Alex always showed affection and love through hugs and touches, but this was the first time Alex had expressed love through such intimate words. Eden could feel Alex''s hot breath touching the nape of her neck. "I love you too, Wolfy. Promise me, you will be my number one guy, and I''ll be your number one girl." Eden muttered. Alex loved the way they hugged each other. "Yes, I''ll." Alex tightened his grip. His stout arms wrapped around Eden''s slender stomach. Both fell asleep. Even though the atmosphere was still tense, Eden and Alex could sleep well. ***** . . . Day after day passed quickly. Alex and Eden''s relationship was getting closer and more intimate. But every time both of them make love, Alex always stops their cuddling halfway. Alex was afraid that he could not help himself. At the same time, Eden was annoyed because there was still something stuck that could not be completed. It felt strange, making Eden curious. Alex did not respond even though Eden had greeted and spoiled on his chest. "Alex !!" Eden exclaimed when Alex left her on the bed even though both had sweated due to intimate make-out. "Sorry, Baby. I can''t continue to do it. I''m afraid I will mark you." Alex wore back his black shirt. Eden was half-naked. She lay on Alex''s bed. Eden puffed out cheeks. Her lips pursed pout. Again, Alex used that reason. "You Naughty Dog!!" Eden snorted in annoyance. While Alex just sighed. As a healthy man, surely Alex also wanted to do beautiful sex with Eden. What else Eden always brought Alex''s lust to the highest peak. He always wanted to make love and shower Eden with affection. "Sorry, Baby. Now wear your clothes back, and let''s have dinner!" Alex rejected Eden''s request. "I Don''t want it !! I hate you! " Eden was sulking. She threw a pillow towards Alex''s face. "Where are you going, Baby?!!" Alex became guilty. "Return to my room !!" Eden tied the sleep kimono rope tightly because of emotion. Her hands were busy working, but her eyes glanced at Alex. Blam !! The door slammed, Eden left Alex''s room back to her room. "Does she think only she who is upset?!" Alex grabbed his hair roughly. The alpha was also annoyed! Restraining lust was not easy !! "Me too." ***** Please vote and leave a comment. Thanks for reading. I''m still learning to write in English. So, please forgive me if there are many grammar errors. Love you guys!! Chapter 70 - Damn It, Alex Is Mine! Ace dazzled all the people in the school by erasing their memories about Ace, the basketball team leader and girl''s idol. Ace also manipulated their memories at the summer camp. Everything was normal now. No one was looking for Ace or Eden. Jimmy had also been found, lying helplessly on the edge of the woods --which was the private area of ??the Amethyst pack. His body was limp, drained of energy and fluids. Luckily, a man who lived near there found him and quickly took Jimmy to the hospital. When police asked, Jimmy also did not remember anything. He became stupid and dazed. The cops thought Jimmy must have been drunk that night, so he talked nonsense. The holidays had also started. Next month Eden would move up to class XII, the final grade in high school. While Ace had no news, he still hadn''t returned to the Tourmaline pack. Didn''t know what he was doing. Maybe researching ancient books about the magic Edith used to seal Fenrir''s power in that silver coffin. Or, what magic power did Edith use to seal Eden''s power? Or he was looking for Fenrir. Meanwhile, Alex didn''t care about Ace and still working at the company as usual. Eden chose back to work as a maid in the mansion because she was bored with the endless holidays. She was distraught with Alex, who never finished their make love, so Eden chose to keep herself busy with work for diverted her mind . . . . Summer was almost over. The warm air was starting to get cold. The wind blew more often, and it drizzled occasionally. Eden watched the leaves turning yellow in the back garden. Her hand gripped the broomstick tightly. "Miss, it''s getting cold. Why don''t you come in? Let them finish the job. You don''t have to work anymore." Jared forbade Eden to sweep the dry leaves in the garden. Jared pointed at the other omegas, who were also sweeping. They glanced at Eden with disapproval. They and Eden were maids, but Eden got special treatment. "But Uncle Jared, I don''t have anything else to do. I''m bored. I''m done tidied up and cleaning Alex''s room, I mean Alpha." Eden glanced back at her workmates. After that night with the wizards, everyone in the pack looked at her with dislike. They seemed disappointed that Alex had chosen to be with a weak human instead of a strong she-wolf. Even though their alpha was a king of Werewolves. The strongest one among them. Instead of continuing his power, Alex chose not to have children if marking Eden would only bring the girl killed. "Looks like everyone in the pack doesn''t like me, Uncle. Do they hate me?" Eden whispered to Jared. Their gazes were piercing the heart, making Eden uncomfortable. "It''s just how you feel, Miss. Everyone admires Alpha. And indeed they are disappointed, but¡­ they have no right to oppose Alpha''s decision, even more hate his choice." Jared pulled the broom from Eden''s hand and ushered her back into the house. Eden hesitantly went back in. Eden could only take a deep breath. It was certain that everyone in the pack hated her. They must be disappointed with the alpha''s choice and want to kick Eden out of here. "Their gazes are so savage that they want to pounce on me. They must be racing to get rid of me, Uncle." Eden complained while walking in with Jared. The white-haired man chuckled. Well, Eden didn''t know how much all the girls in the pack wanted to be Alpha''s mate, want to be Alexander Lupo''s Luna. Unfortunately, the Moon Goddess didn''t give them that chance. Eden was the one who got it, making all the girls -who still didn''t have a mate- heartbroken. "Before the fall and before the spring. Werewolves will go through a period where all males and females have a partner, Miss. Maybe that is why their hearts are sensitive. Not a single woman in the pack has ever managed to subdue the alpha. Even Miss Selena. It''s natural for them to be jealous of you, Miss. But after that, things will get back to normal." Jared explained about the werewolves'' mating season that would be happening soon. Eden gaped for a moment when she heard about the mating season that was about to happen. "What do you mean, Uncle Jared?" Eden was confused. "We''re going to have two days full of vigor, energy, passion, and libido. E¡­ kind of mating season." Jared''s face turned red from having to explain this kind of erotic thing to a teenage girl. "What??" Eden''s face also warmed up, red like a boiled crab. So¡­ was Alex also eager to unite his female?? Make love with his Luna? "Right, so¡­ I don''t know if Alpha will mark you during mating season. But I hope you are prepared, Miss." Eden scratched her hair awkwardly. Was Alex going to mark her? Eden blushed as she remembered the beautiful cuddle they had last night. Alex''s rough hand went into her panties and gently stroked her feminine area. Playing so agile. Oh Gosh!! If only a making out made Eden so happy with the sensation, Eden couldn''t imagine what it would be like if they were making love together. Oh, but Alex never wanted to finish their bed romance to the end. "E¡­ Uncle, what''s the marking always happens when sex goes on?" Eden was actually embarrassed to ask, but Alex said he had to refrain from marking Eden. Eden wanted to know why?! "Not really, but many werewolves do it," Jared replied. "Why?" "Because when we have sex, werewolves are known to be wild and like to bite their sex partner, Miss. Don''t you know that we can heal ourselves too? So even being bitten, it won''t be a problem for us." Jared smiled as he explained to Eden. "Then?? If not, mate? Can the bite also be a mark?" asked Eden curiously. "No, Miss. It can''t." Jared shook his head, "Even being bitten a hundred times won''t turn them into mate. Only a mate has the right to receive a mark bite of ownership to share their soul." he continued. "So only on mate, it can happen." Eden began to understand. "Right." "So if I do it with Alex without Alex biting me, then I''ll be fine, right?? That means Alex hasn''t marked me, right??" Eden innocently asked Jared. "That''s right, Miss. But that''s almost impossible. When we reach the peak of our orgasms, we are used to biting our partner''s neck." Jared became awkward with Eden''s question, explaining intimate relationships to a child who didn''t even know anything about the adult world. It''s a pity that the alpha had always held himself back for the sake of this cute little bunny. "I see." Eden understood. No wonder Alex always restrained himself even though Eden was naked on his bed and gave herself up. Alex looked troubled when Eden started to sigh heavily. Alex must had always let go of his lust. And of course, Eden was annoyed. She also wanted to feel the beauty of sex with Alex. "Okay, I''ll excuse first. Please take a rest, Miss." Jared left Eden. Eden walked back to her room to take a shower. On the way back, she heard Sari, Pixy, and also Varen about their plans to win Alex''s heart during the mating season. "I''ve bought some sexy underwear." Varen flaunted a sexy and seductive red lingerie made of lace fabric. "I''ve also bought a new perfume that is said to attract the opposite sex." Pixy showed off her perfume. "This time, one of us has to get one night''s love from Alpha." Sari didn''t want to be left behind. "Right, I have no problem getting the bite and turning me into a real werewolf." Pixy, who was a half-wolf, didn''t mind being a true werewolf. "And hopefully, I can bear Alpha''s child!" Varen giggled. Their dream was so big. Eden''s heart felt heated when she eavesdropped the conversation of the three omegas who both worked as maids. Jealousy started to peek up in her heart. Eden was distraught. Jared was right. All the girls and women in the pack were competing to be the alpha''s one-night stand partner. "Not that easy!!" Eden snorted in annoyance, "Alex is only mine!" Eden was on her hips. Wow... since when did Eden become too overprotective to the Alpha??? It seemed Eden was starting to be possessive of her mate. . . . Eden took off all her clothes from the wardrobe. She was looking for a sexy dress that she could wear to captivate the alpha''s heart during the mating season tomorrow. Eden couldn''t lose. Even though she had received love and recognition from Alex, but until this moment, Alex had not wanted to touch her. Alex was constantly dodging and holding back his desire. Alex didn''t want to mark Eden for fear that something terrible would happen to Eden and get her killed, as Ace said. But¡­ if Eden just stayed silent and allowed that women to tease her mate, certainly, Alex won''t be able to hold back. What if Alex fell for their charms?? Ugh¡­ they''re wolves, right?! They were animals!! "Damn it, Alex is mine!" Eden yelled. ******** Chapter 71 - Im Going To Be Crazy! [Red Tower.] A dark night in the Red Tower. A drizzling rain poured down the arid area in front of this wizards'' tower. Tonight''s moon didn''t shine bright because gray clouds covered the moonlight. The mist fell, covering the dry, blackened trees in the woods. The tower looked deserted. Everyone was busy with Ace''s tasks to them all, reading hundreds of the spellbooks. King had not yet returned from tracking down Fenrir''s location. They never expected that Fenrir had entered Ronan''s body. Alpha of the Amethyst pack. Fenrir enjoyed his role as alpha, full fill his satisfaction after his return to this world. As a true fighter, Fenrir chose to train himself first before challenging the king of werewolves. He would claim his throne from Alex. Fenrir trained his abilities in his new body. He must be able to form an army. For that, he needed the strength of alpha and also his toxic bite to change humans into werewolves. To keep his soul alive in Ronan''s body, Fenrir had to take another werewolf''s soul to eat. Fenrir turned humans into werewolves as food for his soul either. "No report from King?" asked Ace. "Not yet, Lord," replied Jack. "I never think Fenrir was smart enough. He went into hiding before his powers recovered." Ace sighed. He got up from his throne full of old books. They arranged from parchments made of worn out animal skins that were almost damaged with age, to thick books that could scream because they contained evil black magic. "I''ll have someone call him, Lord." Jack volunteered, but Ace shook his head. Knowing Fenrir''s location wasn''t the main thing to reach out to now. The main thing was to find the magic Edith used to confine Fenrir. Ace must learn what magic Edith used to seal Fenrir''s powers to kill him. And if the necklace that Eden was wearing was also closely related to Edith''s power, then Ace must also solve the secret of her magic. Ace had a lot to learn more. It turned out that living thousands of years did not make him the greatest wizard who knows everything. He still lost to Edith. Ace smiled wryly. Edith was an amazing woman. Her name reappeared after hundreds of years, haunting him with guilt and amazement. "Huh¡­ I don''t understand..." Ace spun the fireballs in his hands while walking back and forth, reading a book. Page after page of the book flipped over by itself. He had read hundreds of books in the last few days. Ace closed his book and walked to where Queen was standing. Queen leaned against a marble pillar while smoking a long ivory pipe filled with dry tobacco. Smoke billowed from her red lips. "Looks like I still have to get Eden''s necklace, Queen. Go over there and tell Alex as my first planned." Ace ordered Queen to enter Alex''s dream, giving him illusions by extracting the scariest memories from his past. What else if not about losing his parents. And after that, Queen opened the figure of Miguel Gray, the murderer and Eden as his daughter. "Are you sure, Ace? I was afraid Alex would hurt the poor girl." Queen looked up at the dark sky while blowing smoke from burning tobacco. Ace also stared outside; dark and scary. Queen was right. It was impossible for Alex not to hurt Eden when he was trapped in the illusion of pain and suffering. Alex, who loved his parents so much, would hold a big grudge against Eden. Eden would be an outlet for the endless hatred in Alex''s heart. Yes¡­ Alex would sink into that bitter magic and hating Eden completely. But that''s the only way to get Alex to let Eden go. Ace would take Eden as soon as Alex dared to hurt the girl, even only one bit. Ace would take Eden to the wizards'' tower. Ace would prove to Eden that he loves Eden as much as Alex loves her. Ace would try to eliminate the mate bond between Eden and Alex and make Eden his lover. What he could never do before now would be fulfilled. "If he dares to hurt Eden, he has no right to be her mate. That way, I will make Eden realize that Alex is not an option." Ace took a deep breath and left the wizard tower hall. Queen blew smoke high over her head. Ace''s love story never had an end even in hundreds of years. It hurts to see the man she loves suffer because of blind love. However, wasn''t Queen like him too? She was never even seen in Ace''s eyes. Edith was long dead, and Queen thought she would have a chance to win Ace''s love if she fought by his side. But let alone get the opportunity, Ace never glanced at her even once. Queen felt like a fool by helping Ace pursue his love. "Are you all right, Queen?" Jack looked at her with pity. Queen''s one-sided love for Ace must have made it difficult for her to carry out her duties. "Well, a duty is duty." Queen smiled wryly and put her red hood back on. ****** . . . [Ethereal Mansion, Tourmaline Pack.] Meanwhile, at the same time. Alexander was staring at the endless pile of documents. He didn''t know why lately he felt annoyed and lazy to live his boring daily life. Maybe because he was never satisfied when making love. Even though his body desperately wanted satisfaction, Alex always held it back for fear of marking Eden. Alex realized he couldn''t stay away from Eden. He wanted her as much as his lungs wanted air. The sweet scent of Eden''s body was too piercing for his nose, tickling Alex to stay close and inhale deeply. The aroma that always vibrated all the nerves in his manhood to tighten. Alex couldn''t resist his desire to caress, cuddle, make out, and make love with Eden. "It exactly doesn''t feel good!!" Alex grumbled as he loosened his tie roughly. Not only Eden, who was holding back her annoyance due to frequent stops in the middle of their sex, but Alex was also upset too. "Huft!! Please get rid of them all, Jack! I''m tired!!" Alex tossed the pen onto the desk and combed through his black hair with fingers. "Okay, Alpha." Jackson complied. He cleared all the documents before leaving the Alpha''s study. "Tell Jared to prepare for me some chamomile tea so I can sleep early!" Alex asked Jackson to pass on his orders to the butler. Camomile was indeed a powerful medicine to put werewolves to sleep. "Okay, Alpha." [Right, I need to sleep, so I don''t attack Eden tonight. I''m going to be crazy if this thing keeps happening!] Alex snorted. His mind was going crazy because he couldn''t have sex with Eden. All because of that annoying wizard telling Alex about the risk of marking Eden as his Luna. Just as Jackson opened the door to leave Alex''s study, Selena came in. A beautiful woman with charms like Psyche''s (reputedly the most beautiful woman in Greek as beautiful as Aphrodite.) winked at Jackson. Jackson just smiled briefly and left the room while Selena went inside. "You''re home?" Alex asked as soon as he saw Selena enter the room in her graceful fashion. Selena sat on Alex''s desk, her smooth white thighs showing. Alex stared at Selena flatly, from curvy boobs and big ass, until the beautiful and fair thighs did not shake Alex''s intention to make love. But just by looking at Eden''s tiny and thin body, let alone refusing, Alex wanted to touch her body more and more. Alex wanted to invasion every inch of her curves. Alex couldn''t control his desire to make love with Eden. "Of course, I have to go home. It''s mating season soon. I have to find my mate." Selena chuckled. Did Alex forget about the mating season that only occurred twice a year? Gulp!! Alex swallowed heavily. That''s right. The mating season was approaching. Their libido would peak up and cause an unstoppable sexual desire. Their eyes would be foggy, tireless in looking for a partner. Their ears would yearn for the moans and the spoiled sighs of their mate or sex partner. Alex''s eyes widen. What would happen if he faced Eden during the mating season? Did he have to use up all the stock of camomile tea in the kitchen cupboard to sleep three days without waking up at all?? Oh¡­ Eden¡­ oh, his adorable little bunny. How could Alex have avoided her?! That little girl was sure to blow his mind during mating season. "Why is your face tense, Alpha??" Selena touched Alex''s cheek, which was as pale as paper. Alex was just silent, not brushing it off angrily as usual. "I''m indeed going to go crazy, Selena!!" Alex exclaimed. "Hahaha... Crazy wolfy!" Selena burst out laughing. She never expected that Alex would have a very pathetic relationship with his Luna. What would Alex do during mating season to avoid Eden''s charms??! Meanwhile, Eden was now busy looking for a way to break down Alex''s defensive wall! She would raze his fortress. ****** Chapter 72 - Human, Wizard, Or Werewolf? "Damn it!! Alex is mine!!" This little rabbit screamed in annoyance. Her heart was hot when she heard the other Omegas were busy preparing a strategy to break down Alexander''s defenses. Eden was jealous. Why were all the girls still chasing Alex when they knew Alex already had Eden by his side right now. Eden felt that she couldn''t lose. She had to strategize to have Alex entirely. "What should I wear???" Eden was busy sorting out suitable clothes to attract Alexander''s attention. She paced in front of the mirror while trying on one to another clothes. "DAMN!!! Why nothing was good??" Eden was annoyed. She couldn''t wear sexy dresses like an adult woman. Eden even stuffed her boobs with a foam bra to make her boobs look bigger. But it''s useless. Hers still didn''t look big and sexy because of her tiny body. Eden was tired after trying on so many clothes. "I am thirsty." She said while wiping her sweat. Eden went to the kitchen to drink a glass of water. The chefs and the male maids scrambled to see Selena''s arrival through the glass window that connected the kitchen to the main dining room corridor. "Miss Selena is home?" they said. "Yes, true, it''s mating season soon." "Oh, Moon Goddess, she is indeed a goddess who descended from the heavens." "Lucky for our pack to have such a beautiful woman." "Oh, if only I could be his mate too." "Never mind can''t being a mate, being able to be close to a beautiful lady is a bit of luck. Unfortunately, she only likes strong men." Degh! Eden''s heart was beating fast. Eden had forgotten entirely about this woman. The beautiful woman who once clung to Alex''s arm and made her jealous. Eden was getting more and more worried, if the omegas made her so concerned; what else, Selena, who was mentioned as beautiful as a goddess by the men in the pack. Eden gave a long snort and pushed them so she could go out of the kitchen, making the men there sneer at her rude behavior. Eden followed Selena. The beautiful celebrity returned to the pack and went straight to Alex''s study. Eden wanted to know what they were talking about in there. Eden gave up her intention to eavesdrop because when she was about to approach the door, Jackson came out. Alex''s secretary chatted with Jared before leaving the main mansion to his room. Jared nodded and walked back towards the kitchen. "Uncle Jared." "Good evening, Miss Eden. What can I help you with." "Are Miss Selena at home, Uncle?" "Right." "Oh, and she went straight into Alpha''s room?" Eden rubbed her chin, probing. "Right, miss. But I don''t know what they''re talking about. Alpha only asked me to make some chamomile tea." Jared answered Eden''s question. Eden pursed her lips. Eden started to think wildly about Alex and Selena. What if Selena seduced Alex before the mating season started? Did she steal the start? Jared chuckled at the look on Eden''s face. Jared knew Eden must be jealous of Selena, but Eden tried to hide it. This girl was so cute right now. No wonder the Alpha was so easy to smile when with her. "Excuse me, Miss." Jared smiled and left Eden. Eden grumbled in her heart, wanting to barge in, but Eden was still sulking with Alex. ****** . . . In the room, Selena was chatting with Alex. They had been friends since childhood, so Alex could tell Selena about everything. And now Selena was making fun of him because he had not managed to mark Eden yet. "Why is your face tense, Alpha??" Selena touched Alex''s cheek, which was as pale as paper. Alex was just silent, not brushing it off angrily as usual. "I''m going crazy, Selena!! What should I do during the mating season??" Alex exclaimed. "Hey! Don''t tell me you''re still going to hold on to your lust?? Don''t you have that girl now??" Selena didn''t expect Alex would keep his Luna''s chastity. Alex didn''t answer her jokes, quiet, only sighed as if the burden was too big. "Are you going to wait until Eden grows up?? Isn''t she almost eighteen years old? She''s young adult not a teenager anymore." Selena asked, confused, or maybe Alex was waiting for Eden to graduate from high school. "No, there''s something else." "Oh, are you waiting until her breasts grow big?" Selena puffed out her chest as an example. "Not really." Alex shook his head. "Then what?? What are you waiting for??" Selena was getting curious. What was the reason that made Alex hold back so much? Whereas after getting a mate, werewolves would immediately mark their partner as a form of love. "Because Eden is human." "Huh?? You said she was Omega?" Selena was never in The pack. Her busy life as an artist made Selena never know the problems in the pack. "I don''t know, Selena. I also don''t know who Eden is. At first, I thought she was an Omega because she could emit a scent that I liked. But¡­ when the wizard came¡­." "Wizard??" Selena''s eyes widened. What''s the matter with the wizards coming to the pack?! "Well, the supreme mage told me that Eden is a human. And¡­ human can''t survive after receiving a mark from me. I''ll suck her soul out, Selena." "Hey, but humans will turn into wolves if bitten by you? You have to change Eden to be like us. But I don''t know she can survive the first transformation or not." Selena folded her arms across her chest. "I already did it. But Eden didn''t change, and she was bleeding, Selena. That''s also what made me believe that Eden was an Omega. But it seems I was wrong," Alex answered frustratedly. "How strange. Human but doesn''t change when bitten. Werewolf but bleeds when bitten and can''t heal herself. That girl is so weird, Alex. Are you sure she is your mate?" she asked. "I''m sure!! She''s my mate!! Otherwise, how could I want her so much? I wanted to mark her so much I almost went crazy for holding back my lust!!" Alex touched his forehead, dizzy. "If you feel she is your mate, why should you be afraid of her, Alex? If you believe in her, you should try it. Isn''t mate created to share souls, share the pain, share burdens, fight together. Doesn''t that mean you need to trust each other? ?" Selena gave Alex some input. "I want to find out about Eden, Selena. Before I knew who she was, I didn''t dare mark her. I don''t want to rush and regret if I have to lose Eden." Alex said. "Then what about wizards? Did they come here only to tell you about Eden?" "No, their purpose here is to find Miguel Grey. Somehow the long-lost name has reappeared." Alex snorted. This time his face was much tenser, and his eyes sharpened. "They''re looking for Uncle Miguel?? Why?" "They say that man has something to do with black magic in the cave. The cave where Eden fell unconscious during summer camp. *sigh* Everything seems to be centered on Eden." said Alex. Selena listened to Alex''s story from start to finish. "Black magic in the cave?? Eden?? Miguel?! So you think they''re all related?" Selena''s eyebrows rose, Alex nodded. Alex began to suspect that Eden''s identity must have something related to wizards. Eden also had blood stone like them. "That bloodstone, it''s impossible for a human to have it, Alex." "Yes, I know. At first, I thought it was just an ordinary necklace. Just a necklace similar to the wizards. But, when I saw the white Wizard was so shocked when he saw Eden''s necklace. I''m sure he recognized something." "Hmm¡­ human, wizard, and werewolf. Do you think Eden is¡­." "All three." Alex nodded. "Wow!! What an amazing girl." Selena took a deep breath, very interesting in Eden''s figure. "But I can''t say for sure, Selena. There isn''t any proof yet about my theory." Alex rubbed his face roughly. "But don''t avoid your destiny with her, Alpha. You should mark her if you want to prove who she is." Selena gave Alex more input. "But I''m scared, Selena. This is the first time I''m afraid of something. I''m afraid I''ll lose Eden if I try to mark her. That wizard didn''t seem to be kidding. Oh, this is crazy!!" Alex was angry and worried about Eden''s safety. "Huff ... you have to, Alex!! Mark and prove that she is indeed your mate. Your soul ties will surely reveal all the truth, Alex. Isn''t the power of love the most powerful in this world?" Selena encouraged Alex to mark Eden. Alex smiled faintly ending their conversation this night. "Oh¡­ I''m so tired. I''m going back to the back mansion. I miss my room." Selena spread her arms and walked towards the exit door. "Glad you''re home, Selena." Alex said and Selena smiled. "I''m serious, Alex. You have to mark her!" Selena emphasized her words before walking out and closing the door. ******
