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.
