Howl! Woah, woah! Woooooo!
“What is it? A wolf?”
The knights’ hairs stood on end as their eyes darted around.
Almost simultaneously as the howl was heard, Aiden sprang to his feet.
He turned his eyes left and right, casting deep shadows over his brow.
Everyone was frozen in their seats, unable to make a sound, just watching Aiden’s every move.
In an instant, the tips of his ears twitched and his eyes widened slightly.
He exclaimed quickly and softly.
“Quick, put out the campfire! Hide yourselves! Don’t make a sound!”
“Put out the campfire?”
Teddy rolled his eyes in confusion. Fire was usually helpful when dealing with wild animals, so the command was baffling.
“Damn it, shut up and listen to the Duke!”
A man who looked like the captain of the knights pushed down Teddy’s head and hastily got up. As a result, the lute Teddy was holding fell to the ground with a thud.
Thump!
That sound became the signal. Following Aiden’s command, the other knights rushed to put out the campfire, moving with great urgency.
Brody was half-standing, gripping her blanket, seemingly paralyzed.
“Excuse me.”
Before she knew it, Brody was enveloped head to toe in the blanket.
With the blanket tightly wrapped around her, Aiden lifted her up.
“Ah!”
“Quiet.”
A tense voice came through a small opening in the blanket.
Before she could ask what was happening, or even acknowledge it, Aiden began to run with her in his arms.
His arm muscles, tightly gripping her, were tense to the point of bursting.
It was clear that something urgent had suddenly occurred.
At Aiden’s breakneck pace, Brody was at a loss.
To keep from falling, she instinctively clung to his neck and tightly grabbed his shoulders.
Thump! Thump!
Hugging his neck allowed her gaze to move over his shoulder.
That’s when she saw it.
‘That, that, that……that is…….’
Brody pressed her lips to Aiden’s neck to keep from screaming.
But screams were already erupting elsewhere.
“Aah!”
“What, what is that?”
Ignoring the commotion behind him, Aiden clenched his teeth and said,
“Didn’t I tell you kids not to make a sound.”
Swoosh. Aiden gracefully slid down what looked like a shallow, snow-covered slope that was clearly not a human-made path.
Within moments, they reached a space large enough to hide, with a hill now behind them.
Brody trembled as she looked up.
Even though there was a structure obstructing their view, she could still see ‘that creature.’
Thump. Thump.
Above the dense coniferous forest, a massive head appeared. The wolf’s head was not merely glimpsed above the trees; it was at a height nearly twice that of the treetops.
Its muscular body, jet black underneath its white head, looked like the shadow of a massive mountain.
But on this massive mountain were majestic wings. Each feather was likely as tall as a person.
‘No matter how I look at it…no matter how I look at it…!’
Kalihel, or rather…, the ice elemental Hieldieta’s servitor.
‘Is this a dream? It must be a dream, right? Otherwise, how could…’
The creature before her was the stuff of legends and fairy tales, not something to be seen in reality. It was unbelievable.
‘No one ever told me it would be this huge.’
Still clinging to Aiden, Brody involuntarily shrank her head back.
Although the creature’s sheer size and alien appearance were intimidating, the majesty and mystery it exuded evoked more awe than fear. She couldn’t take her eyes off it.
Kalihel’s wolf head was rapidly scanning the surroundings. Was it looking for something? Prey?
Its deep glacial eyes rolled around until they abruptly met Brody’s direction.
…
Hook. The moment their eyes seemed to meet, Aidan pulled Brody’s body toward him. He firmly gripped Brody’s head and hugged it against his collarbone.
“Huh?”
A feral scent, like a winter forest mixed with warm body heat and a hint of sweat, enveloped Brody’s senses.
Aidan spread the blanket wide to cover them both.
In the small, enclosed space they had created, only the sound of their breathing filled the quiet.
Aidan’s lips moved cautiously. His jaw touching Brody’s forehead, a gentle, moist sensation momentarily passed over her skin.
“Don’t look. There’s no good in our eyes meeting.”
Having to be wary of Calihiel, Aidan whispered in a voice barely above a breath.
Brody also asked softly in response.
“Why?”
“…”
For a moment, Aidan was disoriented by the warmth and body scent in Brody’s breath. He furrowed his brows to regain his senses and then answered.
“Hieldieta is insane. His familiar that suddenly appeared can’t be sane either. Besides, this isn’t a leisurely walk. If he starts rampaging, it will be hard to handle.”
“Hmm…”
Well, he did look rushed but not crazy. Rather than madness, he seemed… desperate.
“‘Hmm…’ What are you thinking?”
At times Brody had unpredictable, surprising thoughts, which made Aidan uneasy. Was she not afraid even when facing such a large creature?
Could he trust her sense of danger?
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
