"Huh?" Sophie's eyes widened at how fast he moved and her heart pounded hard. She looked at her reflection in the dresser and saw how close the nobleman was and it made her all the more on guard. Her voice was hoarse and laced with worry when she spoke. "Pardon me, Lord Romanov, I am unsure of what you are referring to." Nervously, Sophie licked her lips. The sight of it in the mirror was taunting and looked seductive that it affected Leland. A part of him actually liked seeing her be this way around…

"Tell me what's on your mind," the man said once he noticed her silence. "Are you surprised at how you've arrived in this place and are staying in a castle?" Wait... what? This is a castle? Sophie's eyes bulged. She had never entered a castle before. The only time she went to one was when Nicholas invited her to have tea in Baron Ferdinand's castle and they only stayed in one of the terraces. She had no idea what inside a castle should look like. She had imagined luxury, but not at this level. Perhaps,…

The man let out a long and arduous sigh. He did not know why this woman was always putting herself in dangerous and risky situations. She was not Leland, who could brave the winter's storm. As far as Leland was aware of this winter's tempest, this storm of snow, gale, and hail was another doing of the witches. Even though Leland knew one witch who was a friend, the truth was that witches operated in covens. Unlike werewolves who operated in a patriarchal society, the witches were matriarchal and the…

Sophie didn't understand how on earth she could pick up the door, just like that. A question suddenly started to play on her mind. This was not normal at all and yet there was bound to be a logical reason for it. "Nicholas was turned into a lycan because he was bitten by one of them. So… what if it isn't the act of biting that transforms a regular person into a lycan but their saliva?" Sophie asked herself aloud. She knew that her strength was unnatural and the conclusion that came to her mind was…

The Alpha went into action. He took a thick coat from the closet and wore it, then reached out for his mask. Finally, he leaped out from the balcony and into the walls of the late baron's castle. Multiple werewolves stationed to watch over the castle would notice their Alpha make a move. These werewolves were told to restrain their powers and not reveal they were not human, but their Alpha was naturally above the rule that he dictated for them. However, all of them were curious as to where Leland was…

The night skies were dark, but even the moon was hidden because of the dark tumultuous clouds that poured down heavy snow. The temperature was so cold and freezing that most of the humans lay in their homes shivering underneath their covers and blankets. There was currently a winter storm that put all of the people staying in their homes. However, Leland stood out in the open balcony and was undeterred by the harsh temperature and barely batted an eye at it. A part of him watched the human lands in front…

Sophie just wanted to serve them their tea and cookies and left her former schoolmates in the living room, but they apparently enjoyed taunting and making fun of her. So, seeing she didn't react to their insult, one guy touched Sophie's arm and mocked her with a disgusting smile on his face. "So… is what Lucia said true? Do you sleep with many men?" He smirked and raised a brow at Sophie. "Can I pay you to sleep with me? This way you can make extra money for your baby." "That's not true!!" Sophie's…

"What are you here for?" Aunt Helga asked. "You squandered your education and ran away from home. You should have a good reason for returning here and looking all meek." "I… I'm pregnant." "Oh, and where is the man who impregnated you?" Aunt Helga's eyes were far from sympathetic. "Did he leave you? It seems like you only have us to turn to, so you better be grateful that I will accept you back inside of the house." Sophie held back herself and nodded slowly. "Thank you so much, Aunt Helga. I am…

"Argh." Nicholas placed the scroll aside and massaged his forehead. Nicholas wondered if all of the dust was starting to affect him badly that he would get hay fever or some sort of sickness even though it was winter. Nicholas would finally notice that there was something that seemed to be gone. He stared at a shelf that didn't have any dust on a small box-shaped area while its surroundings were filled with enough dust. "Huh, this looks like there's supposed to be some kind of small book here?" Nicholas…

Before they left the Viscount Verhoven's mansion, the queen was smiling brightly at Lady Karenina Verhoven and touched her hand. She spoke softly, "Lady Karenina, would you like to accompany us to the capital, my dear? We are very grateful that you have saved our son and we want to show our gratitude by having you in the capital and sightsee. You will be our guest of honor." Karenina's eyes widened. She couldn't believe her luck! No... it's not luck. Her patience and care for the crown prince all these…
