Chapter 8 You can't hide from me

  • "Fucker!" She repeated.
  • Amoux looked into her eyes like he wanted to kill her, but he let go of her hair soon after.
  • "A simple Omega who was trying to get on the same level as a future Lycan King. Who do you think you are?"
  • 'What the fuck?! I have no intention like that!' Leah opened her mouth to defend, but then she shut her mouth again.
  • "I'm just wasting my time," Amoux added before he turned around. When Amoux held the door, he turned his head again and gave her a death glare.
  • 'If my father just didn't favor her, I could easily kill her!' Amoux talked to his wolf.
  • 'No!' Black growled. Amoux' wolf.
  • Amoux became confused by his reaction. This is the first time Black acted like that. Every time Amoux tells him that he will kill an Alpha female, the wolf doesn't care at all.
  • Amoux just disregarded it and continued on his way.
  • Leah stared at the door for a long time before she realized something.
  • The fact that the man she secretly loves has such a dirty personality bothers her.
  • “I can't stay here.”
  • She immediately stood up and ran out the door quietly, so Amoux wouldn't catch her. However, she was only a few steps away when she heard his firm voice again behind her back.
  • "I don't know what your head is made of."
  • Leah didn't turn around, scared of his reaction but she can already hear every step of the man coming towards her. "Didn't I tell you not to leave without my permission?"
  • "Why would I stay in that room after what you did to me?" Leah responded with confidence as she faced him with her head and body and continued while gritting her teeth. "I'm not going to stay there!"
  • He took a big step toward her, but she backed away out of fear. She can't know what's going on in his head, but she can see a hint of doubt in his eyes that she doesn't know where it came from.
  • She looked behind him and swallowed a lot of times as she waited to see what would happen.
  • After a few seconds of Amoux' staring at her, Leah let out a breath before she shouted.
  • "Lycan!"
  • She pointed behind his back. When he turned around and believed what she said, she immediately ran away.
  • As she got away from him, she held her chest, catching her breath while feeling her loud pulse of heart. She didn't know what to do next, so she let her eyes wander.
  • Leah was mesmerized by how big the Nightwalker pack's palace was.
  • While wandering, she took each step cautiously since she knew Amoux' could hear her because of Alpha's sharp instinct. She tried not to make a sound, afraid that he could be instantly behind her.
  • "What is the purpose of the size of this regal palace?" She ran her eyes through the hallway, "Seems like their bathroom is much larger than my usual place of living."
  • She continued to walk until she saw what was in her way. Her lips curled into a smile as she was overjoyed to see the exit.
  • 'Finally! I didn't have to see Amoux's face till I had decided on my decision to be his personal doctor.' Leah thought.
  • After she accepted the Lycan and Luna's suggestion, she knew Amoux wouldn't hurt her again because his father would be peeved.
  • Leah gulped as she pondered the opportunity. Throughout the year that she hoped Amoux' would notice her, the chance came to her deliberately now.
  • However, it makes her wonder about the future of their relationship, since there are times when they don't get along.
  • 'No! Stop thinking about it, Leah! You need to train yourself to control your wolf! Being his doctor or lover is such a delusion, like heaven and earth— that won't ever be able to meet!' She scolded herself and rushed for the gate.
  • If only the Moon Goddess made her an Alpha female... perhaps, there's a chance.
  • As she was already three steps away from the gate, she suddenly pulled back when someone grabbed her waist.
  • She felt a deep breath on the back of her neck, as if it was about to bite that area.
  • "No matter how hard you try, you can't hide from me."
  • As she heard his demanding tone of voice, her muscles instantly became tense. Her whole body felt as though it were being swallowed by balmy breath. The wolf inside her sensed what was going on, but it also turned a blind eye while she recovered her composure.
  • "Are you still not done with me?" Her knees are weakening and trembling. If he hadn't just wrapped his arms around her stomach, she was sure that she would have given up on the ground.
  • "I want to go home..." She couldn't hear herself speak, and all that came out of her lips was air.
  • "You may go as long as you assure me you will not take my father's words." He clutched at her even more tightly. She has lost her ability to think because she feels their skins are in contact. "You are to blame for my father's disdain for me. He thought I couldn't be self-sufficient!"
  • He growled angrily at her and her eyes widened as a result of what he did. Her chest heaved up with pain, which resulted in swiftly streamed down tears on her cheeks. A few grains of tears tick down to Amoux' arm, and he begins to realize that.
  • His grasp around her waist had eased.
  • "How dare you cry in front of me, lowly omega!" He let go of her waist but held onto her shoulders and gripped them.
  • She tried to suppress her sobs, but it just became louder.
  • She's not crying because of his outburst but to the fact that he didn't even dare to express his appreciation for saving his life but rather blamed her.
  • 'He would have died if I had not interfered to save his life. I hope he considered it at all!' She whined to her head.
  • As she lifted her head, she wiped away the tears and spoke with dignity. "Is that really how much you dominants are upset about us omegas?"
  • “You're so full of yourself—”
  • “If I hadn't been engaged during those hours when you couldn't breathe, you wouldn't be alive right now!"
  • Leah was afraid someone would hear her because it was against the rules to yell at a royal but there's no way she could stop herself.
  • “Watch your mouth, woman! You should let me finish when I was talking before you—”
  • Leah bolted before he could complete what he was about to say. As she ran away, tears poured down on her face again.
  • She left that place without Amoux knowing what face she made.
  • What she was expecting, anyway? For Amoux to chase her?
  • There is no way that could happen...
  • [After 1 Week]
  • Leah never saw him again after what happened between them. She never got out of her room or looked for pharmaceutical leaves. She has spent the past week thinking about what the Lycan told her, and now is the last day for her to make a decision.
  • It's just a blink of an eye when she save Amoux...
  • As she sighed, she rearranged her clothes and marched to the door. She was well aware that her choice would serve as the impetus for her certainty.
  • When she opened the door, there were three patrol guards waiting to take her to the Lycan and Luna.
  • It only took a few minutes when they arrived at the castle and she didn't expect who she would see at the entrance.
  • She spotted Amoux waiting but she didn't glance at him and simply walked straight by him.
  • His face wrinkled in amazement at what she had done.
  • And when she was about to take another step, he grabbed her arms, making her look at him.
  • "We need to talk."
