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?
"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!!
