Chapter 17

Hearing Ace's shout, Theresia's steps suddenly stopped. For some reason the corners of his lips pulled up, forming a sweet smile. Then he turned and walked towards Ace, suddenly he hugged the man. Closing her eyes while burying her face in Ace's chest, I don't know what made Theresia act like that. It's just that Ace's words make Theresia happy and right now she really needs a hug. It felt like his heart was blooming because Theresia hugged him, Ace blinked his eyes several times. Still didn't expect that Theresia, who usually refused, now hugged him without being ordered.

Ace wanted to return the hug, but it felt like his hands were unable to lift and finally he chose to remain silent, letting Theresia hug him for a moment.

"A- are you okay?" Ace asked quietly, a smile never leaving his face.

While Theresia rolled her eyes, as if she had regained consciousness. "Huh..." Theresia released her hug quickly, cursing herself for suddenly hugging Ace like that. To be honest was beyond Theresia's control, she turned away her face in shame.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean it," Theresia said without looking at Ace, she also didn't understand why she could hug Ace. In her heart, Theresia cursed herself, for having done such a stupid thing.

'What have I done? I hugged him? Oh come on Theresia, why are you so embarrassing,' thought Theresia, closing her eyes, regretting her actions.

"Are you sure it was just accidental?" Ace responded with a raised eyebrow, smiling faintly as if seducing the woman in front of him.

Theresia looked up, her gaze fixed on Ace's beautiful eyes for a few moments. "Yes.. I'm sure! Don't follow me anymore and don't interfere in my affairs, do you understand?" his jerk narrowed his eyes sharply, after that Theresia walked away from there with a bad mood.

While Ace was smiling instead, staring at Theresia who was getting further away. It looks like the alpha wererewolf is on a love binge, even when Theresia snaps or pushes him away. Ace was not at all angry or even upset, he actually felt excited when the woman was angry. waist, sweet smile still visible on his face.

"Hmm.. Before that I have to find the man who dared to attack Theresia earlier, I won't let him hurt Theresia again," continued Ace. His face changed quickly. After saying that, Ace sped off from there.

Theresia decided to go back to her house after a tiring and sad day, all the way the woman just daydreamed thinking about Aiden's words. Theresia wouldn't be able to imagine if her grandfather was really dead, she wouldn't accept that.

"What should I do, what should I make sure? Should I go to Dracania?" Theresia spoke to herself as she paced her room, biting her nails as she thought. The look in his eyes clearly reflects anxiety, how could he not? His grandfather is the only family he has right now.

"Argh.. What should I do!" shouted Theresia, she collapsed on the mattress. He closed his eyes for a moment to relax.

Not long after, a light appeared like a teleportation portal near the window. Theresia was not aware of that, the woman still closed her eyes because she was tired of her own life.

A woman of Theresia's age came out of the portal, she looked beautiful with blonde hair and blue eyes. The woman who had just come out was wearing a black robe and holding a stick in her hand, she smiled at Theresia who hadn't realized her whereabouts.

"Hmm.. Did she sleep? Until she realized I was here?" only the woman folded her arms over her chest, she walked slowly towards Theresia without a sound.

When she was right in front of Theresia, the woman smiled ignorantly. Without further ado he swung the magic wand in his hand, soon after that water came out of his wand. Flowing right over Theresia's head.

"Aaa... Flood!" Theresia shouted when she felt her face drenched, she immediately changed her position to sit and opened her eyes wide.

After opening her eyes, Theresia grunted in annoyance because there was no one around. But Theresia is not stupid, she can smell someone's scent and presence. Theresia knew very well who's aura was in her room.

Theresia's gaze was suddenly sharp and flat as she said, "Get out Lilia! I know it's you, get out or I'll kill you right now!"

The sound of laughter roared break the quiet atmosphere of the room. Theresia rolled her eyes lazily in response, she already guessed that it must be Lilia's friend's behavior. Not long after, Lilia came out of her hiding place, smiling innocently showing her rows of teeth in front of Theresia. , now Lilia changed her expression. Remembering that the purpose of coming to see Theresia was to convey something sad. Lilia quickly sat next to Theresia.

"Theresia, I came here to tell you something important. I..." Lilia's words stopped.

"I already know everything," said Theresia cutting off Lilia's words.

Lilia's eyes narrowed to show that she didn't believe, even she hadn't said anything to Theresia. Then how did Theresia know everything? As if questions appeared in his mind. Lilia suddenly changed her body position facing Theresia, then said, "What do you know? I haven't told you anything yet. How are you..."

"I know if grandfather died because he was killed." Theresia lowered her head, holding the tightness in her chest. Of course, Theresia could not accept that her grandfather was killed just like that, and she also knew that Adnan's reason for killing her grandfather was because of himself. Guilt will probably always haunt Theresia, the people she loved one by one disappeared because of protecting her. Lilia can only calm Theresia for the moment.

"I know this must be hard for you." Lilia thought for a moment and then said again, "Do you want to visit Draciana?"

Theresia suddenly raised her head, then nodded her head enthusiastically. "Come on, I want to go there," she said enthusiastically.

Lilia's heart felt torn when she saw her friend destroyed, Theresia's tears were so painful for her.

"Come on Lilia, why are you even daydreaming!" Theresia snapped while wiping her tears. It had been a long time since she had visited Draciana, Theresia must have missed the atmosphere there very much. There is one place he really wants to visit right now, which is his parents' and grandfather's funeral.
