After that day, I became extremely obedient.Every day, I slept in the same room as Klaus, but my behavior was that of a slave. Like now, even though I lay by Alpha Klaus's bed, I knew he would wake up soon, so I quietly got up and left the room to prepare his clothes for the day.The bed in the bedroom was big. Klaus and I slept on opposite sides, not sharing the same blanket.Yes, although Klaus and I slept on the same bed, nothing happened between us. It sounds unbelievable, but that's the truth.After that night, Klaus never made any sexual advances towards me. It was strange, Klaus was a normal man. A woman lay next to him, yet he didn't possess me.Every night, I didn't know when Klaus returned to the room and lay down, but every morning, I could always see Klaus's face when I opened my eyes.After overcoming the initial days of anxiety, I finally got used to this somewhat strange life. In my heart, Klaus was a man I couldn't understand.I turned my head and looked at the sleepi

The scent was like the breath of snow melting into a river, carrying the purity and chill of snowwater. It appeared beside me, illuminating the darkness like a sudden light.I took a sudden step forward, reaching out my hand to touch whatever emitted that smell."Snap!"All whip sounds ceased, but instead of grabbing what I expected, my hand came up empty, and I stumbled, finally falling to the ground."Ugh," I couldn't help but grunt. My naked skin met the icy coldness of the stone steps, realizing I must have fallen onto the staircase.Silence returned around me. I wasn't sure what had happened, but the long whips seemed to have disappeared suddenly.Almost instinctively, I curled up. Except for the long cloth on my head, my clothes had long been torn apart by the whip lashes, leaving only a few scraps clinging to my body.It was cold, and it hurt.The scent I had smelled grew closer, and despite the darkness, I could still hear footsteps approaching."Remove her cloth, let me see t

"If you stop now, you'll still have a chance to live!" The voice echoed through the night sky. I stood frozen, almost feeling like I was hallucinating.Why did that voice sound so much like my father's?The silver-haired woman, upon hearing "Alpha David is dead," suddenly bent over and coughed up blood."Mom!" The boy in her arms clung tightly to her sleeve, but the woman didn't say anything. She just silently patted the boy's head and continued to run forward into the darkness without looking back.I watched the pale face of the silver-haired woman; she didn't seem like she had much time left."Stop! I'll say it again! Stop!" The soldiers were about to catch up to them. In the moonlight, the leader's face gradually became clear.I wanted to get a good look at the person's face, but in this strange illusion, I could only follow the boy. I saw only what the boy's eyes saw."Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh."Burning torches were continuously thrown from behind. The woman dodged desperately, but

As the dim light slowly illuminated my heavy eyelids, I lifted them slowly. It felt like I was a drowning person just pulled out of the water, finally waking up after taking a long breath.The familiar bed, the familiar room. I shifted my sore limbs. I was lying on Klaus's bed, feeling the softness beneath me."Are you awake?" A deep voice sounded beside the bed, and I turned abruptly, widening my eyes to look at the dark figure by the bedside.The dim yellow light outlined Klaus's profile. I huddled under the covers, watching as an inexplicable smile crept onto Klaus's face."Master..." After seeing Klaus's memories, I had a very complicated feeling. I didn't know how to treat him for the time being."Poor thing." Klaus reached out to touch the scars on my body under my gaze. His fingers were cold, causing me to shiver. But I didn't believe Klaus genuinely cared about my wounds; I saw the smirk growing on his lips. His golden eyes narrowed slightly, casting an undeniable pressure on

Ulysses's POVIt was snowing. Snowflakes filled the air.I stood under the spruce trees, my face cold, gazing at a nearby cabin. Its reddish-brown bricks were covered in thick snow. Under the eaves, a window emitted a dim yellow light, and two small pine trees stood in front.Everything felt familiar. From the first time I saw this place until now, almost nothing had changed.The wind blew the snowflakes around, swirling them until they gently tapped against the cabin's glass window, emitting faint vibrations.I stared at that window, knowing that any moment now, someone would come to open it, and then I would see her."...Ulysses? Is that you?" A melodious voice called out.The transparent glass fogged up, and a fair hand opened the window. Behind the swirling snow, her face emerged into my view.It was a very beautiful girl's face. She had long, red curls that resembled a flame against the white snow. Her rosy lips parted slightly, revealing a glimpse of white teeth. Her soft cheeks
