I replied, “Okay.”

I considered whether I should warn him that Gabriel was clearly up to no good, trying to drag Xander into a den of debauchery; I wouldn’t approve of that. But then my wolf countered, “WITH HIS INTELLIGENCE, HE DIDN’T NEED MY WARNINGS.”

I sent Robert a message, conveying Xander’s instructions.

It’s still early; let’s go for a walk.”

Xander said.

I looked up after sending the message. “No, it’s almost dark. It’s creepy to wander around these mountains alone. I’ll stay in the villa.”

After saying that, I noticed Xander’s expression was wrong and quickly realized,… Do you mean you want to go for a walk?”

‘It’s creepy to wander around alone,” he said, sounding melancholic.

…I’ll go with you.”

I smiled, feeling a little uneasy.

My wolf was about to be driven mad by Xander’s indirect way of speaking, “COULDN’T HE JUST SAY, “I WANT TO GO FOR A WALK; YOU COME WITH ME“? OH GOD!”

Talking with him felt like answering a reading comprehension question. I felt confident writing the answer, only to receive a big ‘X” as a grade. It made me feel foolish.

Xander looked at my business suit and high heels. “Go change your clothes and shoes.”

I obeyed. I went back to my room, changed into loose clothing, and traded my high heels for flats.

We left the villa around 5:30 pm. It was evening but not yet dark.

The air was fresh and pleasant, the breeze was cool, and the sun was gradually setting. The distant mountains were bathed in a golden light, a breathtaking sight.

I followed Xander. I thought it would be tiring to keep up with his long legs, but he walked slowly enough for me to enjoy the scenery. My wolf marveled, “AS EXPECTED OF THE YOUNGEST ALPHA AND THE HEIR TO KINGSTON GROUP, HE’S NATURALLY GOOD AT TAKING CARE OF HIS SUBORDINATES!”

‘Have you ever heard a legend?”

Kander casually said.

I replied, “What legend?”

Legend says that twilight is a supernatural time, also known as the Devil’s Hour. The demons and monsters lurking in the darkness appear then, transforming into human form or possessing humans. They walk the roads and suddenly call your name. If you answer, your soul will be devoured…”

His low, smooth voice was captivating, like chocolate with a liqueur center, a mysterious and ethereal quality that dissipated with the twilight breeze.

I was silent for three seconds, then exclaimed, “That’s terrifying!”

“Don’t worry, it’s just a legend. I just thought it was interesting.”

“It is interesting. Can they only call your name? Would other forms of address work? If a good son called out to his mother, and she answered, would that count”

I asked like a curious child.

Kander smiled family. Of course, because demons and monsters not only possess people but also transform into familiar people to Jeceive you, quietly devouring your soul when you least expect it.”

| feigned exaggerated fear. “Don’t say it, don’t say it.”

Kander stopped talking.

My inner monologue: It’s okay to playfully tease the boss.*

We continued walking. We arrived at a pavilion.

The setting sun had sunk lower, vast swathes of red and orange blending in the sky, a gorgeous, breathtaking spectacle.

As I was lost in the beauty, I heard Xander call my name, his voice unnaturally gentle, “Sophia.

instinctively wanted to answer.

My wolf immediately warned me! I suddenly remembered something and closed my mouth.

Kander waved his hand in front of me.“Sophia? Are you okay?”

remained silent.

Sophia?”

Sophia Wells?”

Sophy?”

I’m talking to you, Sophia. What happened to your tongue? Did a kitten bite it off?” Xander cupped my face, his voice soothing. “Why aren’t you answering? Oh, was it just a legend? Why are you taking it so seriously? Be a good girl, talk to me.”
