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.
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.
