Chapter 125 Clementine: We gave each other a hand gesture, almost as if to say that just because they were calling for us didn’t mean we had to come out. “Come on! It’s not like we can’t find you ourselves,” the man called. Ian gestured toward the rooftop of the
Chapter 124 Clementine: “Dude, let her be. She’s not Dora the Explorer.” I could already hear Yorick’s grunting voice warning Ian not to drag me with him. “I’m pretty sure she can speak for herself, but fine, I’ll go by myself,” Ian said as he got up, holding a can
Chapter 123 Clementine: “I’m your friend. Open the door. I need to get inside. That monster is out there. It’s waiting for me to look into her eyes,” the little boy said urgently, making me keep staring Haiden in the eye. We were alert at this point, but I don’t
Chapter 122 Clementine: “Ian, you’re the only one making these weird comments and making her uncomfortable,” Troy hissed at him. Ian just shrugged, leaning back like he was about to lie flat and fall asleep. He folded his arms behind his head, eyes fixed on the ceiling. Yorick had been
Chapter 121 Clementine: “Did you guys check the area?” Haiden asked after running around the mall, up and down. “No, we only checked the ground floor,” Troy said, twirling his finger in a circle. “I don’t think we can stay here for too long. This place is way too open,”
Chapter 120 Clementine: “So then who is it, Mr. Genius?” Jack taunted, making only his squad laugh. Even with their bloody faces, they still managed to bully someone. “I don’t know. I just know it’s not our ringleaders. Are you seriously that dumb that whoever sounds like your ringleader, you’ll
Chapter 119 Clementine: They didn’t seem too affected, but they weren’t making jokes anymore either. They looked rather serious, and then they saw us. I watched them look at us and squeeze together, probably to talk about us. Then they acted like they weren’t seeing us and began moving forward,
Chapter 118 Clementine: I have been sleeping in the attic since I was scalded at dinner and nobody came to check on me. The hot soup tossed at me by my stepmother burned my skin. I was a child, so I could not heal fast. I knew I was going
Chapter 117 Clementine: He then looked away. Sadly, none of the announcements explained what kind of creature we were going to see. They just told us to be careful. I guess their drones had captured some activity or a monster. But why they didn’t tell us what they were seeing
Chapter 116 Clementine: Ian looked at the three alphas behind me before his gaze finally landed on me. His eyes were oddly red, his nose and cheeks flushed, and I was sure it wasn’t just from the cold. There was sadness there, like he’d been through something. “You fucker, you
Chapter 115 Clementine: The minute we were on the road, I noticed the alphas stepping ahead of me, looking around. Troy had his hands on his waist, and I could see how broad he was. Haiden still had sleep in his eyes, I could tell, because he kept rubbing them.
Chapter 114 Clementine: I took a deep breath and walked out of the booth, sitting on the bench and glancing around the road to make sure the lurkers weren’t coming back. Ian said they’d take some time, so I believed him. He knew this place like the back of his
Chapter 113 Ian: When the announcement came that we would be leaving for yet another mission the very next day, I felt it in my bones. My wolf writhed in pain. Anger burned through me. I wanted to rip off heads, to fight everyone in the main hall, anyone who
Chapter 112 Clementine: “Goddess, Ian, you scared me,” I said, pressing a hand to my chest. But he quickly put his finger to his lips, silently telling me not to make a noise. The way he was hunched over me, I couldn’t get up without our faces almost touching, so
Chapter 111 Clementine: “That’s hectic. They’re asking us to join another mission,” I complained after we finished eating. As I walked ahead, I noticed Ian keeping a good distance from us, while the others stayed right beside me. We had been talking about the missions and everything, and of course
Chapter 110 Clementine: Seeing Yorick back and fine was really comforting. But what twisted the whole situation was when Ian spoke up. Like always, his version to Yorick was different. This time, he didn’t mention Troy. He wanted Haiden to feel less important and Yorick to think I was prioritizing
Chapter 109 Yorick: I fought the monsters without a weapon. Every time one of them attacked the baby, I quickly moved my arm and grabbed it by the neck before it could reach me or the baby. Only I know how I managed that. I guess the adrenaline rush was
Chapter 108 Clementine: His lips wrapped around mine, his hands holding my face in place. For a moment, I couldn’t even respond. Instead, my hands gripped the corners of his open jacket. My eyes closed as he pressed his lips harder against mine. The way his lips moved over my
Chapter 107 Clementine: “She’s Clementine’s friend.” Haiden was the first to announce it, and then Troy rushed back into the room, grabbed a blanket, and handed it to me. I was hesitant, even though I didn’t approve of her actions back in the North. Still, I wasn’t sure if I
Chapter 106 Clementine: After finding out about the mate bond, Troy, who already knew, went to take a shower. Ian seemed to be in shock, not saying a word. He just watched me silently. Then there was Haiden. He had quietly moved away, running his hands through his hair and
