Nicholas couldn't sleep well that night. His injuries from his last fight with Leland were not yet healed properly, but he already got into another fight. Gosh... He was not this aggressive before. Why did he suddenly become so easily agitated and get into fights? Maybe it's his lycan side slowly showing his true self? He knew those monsters were animals and only knew how to fight and show aggression. It must be also the reason why that guard in the manor looked so hostile toward him. Nicholas massaged…

"Yes?" Leland opened his eyes and looked at her dotingly. He thought she had been asleep because her breathing was very soft and she didn't make any sounds for a while. They just had sweet lovemaking under the stars and she looked satisfied and tired after the deed. So, he let her rest. Did something wake her up? Were there any small animals like ants that disturbed her peaceful sleep? This was one of the problems with sleeping outdoor for humans. They could take care of the surface by covering it…

In her bedroom, Karenina now sat in front of the mirror. Two maids were sent to her bedroom to help Karenina with her dress and makeup, probably unaware of why they were told to do it. She had stopped sobbing and bit her lip so hard, it bled. She smiled bitterly and asked herself why she was doing this… but she no longer found the strength to stop. Too much of her time and effort was wasted on Nicholas and if she turned back now, there really was nothing left. Was it self-sabotage to see it through the…

"I'm sorry, Father." Karenina hugged her father and said, "I don't know why I love the king so much while he never loved me. He has broken my heart many times, but strangely I can't stop chasing him. Father, I am really scared that the king will know that I am lying." Her heart ached again, and she began to cry. "It's fine, Honey. But please don't do that again. I'll help you get the king as your husband." Viscount Verhoven stroked his daughter's head lovingly. After a while, he asked what important…

The first attack was opened by Nicholas. He ran and jumped as he swung his claws, but Lucas immediately dodged. Nicholas' attack only hit the air, but an arcing wind wave formed and slashed everything in its path. In the blink of an eye, one part of the beautiful manor grounds turned into chaos. After the failed attack, Nicholas immediately turned around and jumped back as he sensed Lucas was charging towards him. He jumped backward just before Lucas' claws hit him and landed smoothly on the edge of…

Nicholas continued to visit and arrive at the manor to see Luciel and Jan. He didn't know where Sophie was or if she was avoiding him. It's been several days and there were no signs that Sophie was around. However, Nicholas was stubborn and kept coming back. Even though he couldn't see Sophie yet, he still felt happy to go to that manor because his arrival was always welcomed by the two children. Unfortunately, it was not accepted by Lucas and all the lycans that guarded the manor. In the beginning, they…

Before Karenina left the capital, the queen wanted to make sure that she would not tell Viscount Verhovent about Nicholas turning into a lycan. That's why she asked her not to say anything about what she saw in the tower to her father. Karenina smiled and nodded obediently, even though she wasn't going to do what the queen said. She couldn't help but tell her father such a big thing. In addition to getting some space for herself and calming down her mind, her real purpose in wanting to return to…

"Uncle, are you all right?" Jan asked Nicholas while he exchanged a look with Luciel. They were confused because Nicholas was silent while looking at them with such a sad expression. A few seconds later, Nicholas finally nodded slowly. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, then smiled crookedly. He spoke with a hoarse voice, "No. I'm fine." "Really? But why are you crying?" asked Luciel. He looked closely at Nicholas's watery and slightly red eyes. "Usually, mother only cried when she was…

Leland was used to sleeping under the stars. To him, it was the best. Being one with nature and enjoying the billions of stars in the night sky always made him feel at peace and content. If Sophie wanted it, of course, he would say yes. "Sure, we can do it," Leland said. "The weather is perfect for sleeping outdoors." Before Sophie could jump in joy, the man quickly added apologetically, "However, for humans, it's not as comfortable as it looks. We must bring the fur coat so you can have a comfortable…

*** Sophie really enjoyed their getaway. The fresh air, new scenery, and alone time with her mate help lift her mood. She felt calmer and happier and could even stop worrying about Luciel and Jan after one day. After she woke up from her nap, she enjoyed the grilled fish prepared by her mate. She didn't usually like fish, but somehow, this time she was crazy about it and she ate a lot. Leland was happy to see her appetite grow. He was sure this must be her pregnancy hormones. He loved her so much and…
