บททั้งหมดของ Begging His Luna: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Whenever there’s a reason for her to let go of his hand, she did. Taking items off the shelf and putting them on the cart, she would distance herself from him. Conrad let her, but whenever her hands are idle, he would take one in his. This process repeated itself many times as they went around the grocery store. They lightly talked about ordinary things. He asked about the items she took, especially the food and snacks.“What do you normally eat at your place?” He noticed all the frozen food she grabbed.She shrugged before saying she eats at the restaurant and whatever’s in the cart.His lip twitched. These can’t be healthy. But then again, they’re wolves. They can even eat raw meat if they needed to.He began to ask her what living with humans are like. Even though he’d been here for a few weeks now, he hasn’t exactly interacted with many of them. Just a few, when he needed to. He mostly followed her around.“It’s fine. I don’t think there’s another wolf in this town. It was fairly

“Alright. Thank you, Landon.”“It’s no problem. Glad you’re both safe. And I’m sorry for the blunder. I’ll now call Alex and give him a talking to. Contact me if you need anything else.”“Got it. Thank you. Really.” Alice replied this time, seeing Conrad was deep in thought.After a couple of minutes, he asked her to check the map to Millcoast. Alice focused on the phone. She can do this much.They’re on the right track, at least. After that, she set aside his phone and hugged her bag. She was nodding off but she refused to succumb to sleep.“You should sleep. Get some rest, Alice.”She looked uncomfortable. “How could I? I should at least accompany you.”“You’re here. You’re accompanying me.”“Still…”“Later, I would probably sleep for a while. I’ll need you to keep watch of our surroundings, then. So, sleep, Alice. You’ll help me later if you do.”“Oh, okay.” When he explained it like that, she clearly understood the reasoning.He parked the vehicle for a moment to help her into a m

She laid next to him and it was as if he could sense her proximity. He reached out and moved closer to her. She felt helpless. She’s on the edge of the bed and they’re practically occupying half of it. She tried pushing him back little by little.She let herself doze off. It was uncomfortable but she made do with it. She would open her eyes whenever there’s much movement in the vicinity or too much noise. When he woke up, she also got up. But damn. She forgot about food.“Sorry. I’ll ask if they serve food.” She quickly looked for a phone but there was none. Huh.“I’ll go out for a bit.”His expression darkened. Conrad doesn’t like it when she’s out of his sight. She caught a glimpse of it and paused.“I’ll be quick. Or do you want to come with?”He took his wallet from his bag before joining her and holding her hand.“I hope they have food.” She stated as they walked towards the reception. She checked the time and was surprised to see it’s already early morning. The sun would rise in

They arrived there at mid-day. They don’t know yet how long they’ll be staying, but Conrad paid enough for one week. They’ll decide then if they want to remain or to move on.It was a simple town, with more nature than houses. The nearest diner is a couple of kilometers away. There’s a wet market nearby where they can buy food supplies. The house was equipped with a kitchen and they’re allowed to cook. After resting for a while, they went out to buy what they needed. Oh, it’s good to have their own place again.When they returned, she urged him to rest as she prepared their dinner.She tried not to think about what they discussed last night or earlier in the day, but now… she couldn’t help it. As she waited for the water to boil and as she chopped the vegetables, her mind tried to recall what she knew about other species, particularly vampires. They’re not the only species to have red eyes. Even among wolves, some have them. There was even a pack which prides themselves in having dist

Even though it’s only two towns away, it still took her six hours of driving. She was too slow as she’s just a beginner. It’s different when he’s there to assist her and correct her mistakes. Right now, she’s not confident and was driving as fast as she could tolerate. She would probably run faster in her wolf form. But of course, she can’t run for as long as a vehicle is able. She checked the gas level, it’s good that they filled it up earlier. After a while, she would often glance at Conrad’s figure. He’s facing away from her so she couldn’t see his face.“Conrad?” She would sometimes call his name and when he grunts in reply, she’s assured that he’s still good.She tried hard to rein in her emotions. She needed to focus. One thing persisted in her mind, though. She wouldn’t be able to accept it if he died tonight. She wouldn’t feel worthy to have his sacrifice just to pro
