CHAPTER 5 Peeping

Margaret's POV

After Jacob left with the high-spirited warriors of Berserk Pack, I completed the rest of the wedding formalities alone. I heard some guests below whispering amongs themselves. "Although Alpha Jacob is strong, if my husband was forced to be on the battlefield so frequently, I would definitely have a lot of sleepless nights. Even with the honor of being Luna, it's not worth my mate's safety..." and "Thinking about it, I feel sorry for Sarah."

Listening to their quiet conversation, I couldn't help but laugh. I didn't feel sorry for myself at all; instead, I felt this was a rare opportunity for me to enjoy myself in my life. I wore a beautifully crafted dress I had never worn before, I ate delicious food that I had never tasted before, and I was treated with care by people from various social classes that used to look down on me.

If it weren't for the occasion, I would have burst out laughing. If that killer Jacob really died on the battlefield then I intended to cook an extravagant meal and drink until I was past drunk to celebrate his demise!

By the time the ceremony had finished, it was almost dark outside. I was taken to my exclusive bedroom in the Berserk Pack's Pack House. Although I didn't know why Jacob had arranged it this way, I was more than satisfied.

I removed all of the exquisitely applied makeup on my face and carefully took off the wedding dress, replacing it with my everyday clothes. I gently touched the wedding dress, running my fingers appreciatively over the fabric.

"Although it was never really meant for me, it still made me happy to be able to wear it."

I looked at Jacob's photo hanging on the wall and walked slowly to it, imagining that my hand was a sharp knife and slicing it across his neck in a quick motion. "If this wedding dress could be stained with your blood, it would make me even happier."

"Knock..." The knocking on the door forced me to suppress my slightly sadistic smile.

"Come in." I watched as an Omega with short black hair and some freckles on her face walked in. She looked very young, probably around 12 years old.

"Luna," her tone was cautious and fearful, typical of the Omega rank that I was familiar with.

Seeing her like this made my heart soften. I smiled at her, thinking it was friendly enough. "What's wrong?"

Feeling my goodwill towards her, she visibly relaxed.

She looked at me curiously. "Alpha is injured and needs treatment. For the convenience of the doctor to check his recovery status, he will be staying at Doctor Howson's house for the next few days."

Injured? Did the Moon Goddess hear my sincere prayers?

"Is he seriously injured?"

My tone was full of false concern, but obviously, the little girl in front of me didn't notice. She denuinely thought that I really cared about Jacob.

"Don't worry, Luna. Alpha will be fine. He is the strongest man I have ever seen!"

Her expression was full of admiration for Jacob. I was puzzled. How could she admire a cruel master who could take their lives at any time?

"What's your name?"

"Ellie! My name is Ellie, Luna." Her face was full of innocent smiles, making me feel a little dazed for a moment.

It's been a long time since I've seen such a pure smile...

She suddenly seemed to remember something and lightly tapped her head. She took out a gift box from her shirt pocket.

"This is the jewelry Alpha asked me to give you. It's the new wedding gift he gave you!" Ellie said, bouncing away after handing me the gift box.

I casually threw the gift box into the drawer of my desk. Who needs his gifts! I don't know how much innocent blood is on this gift...

I opened the door and stood on the third-floor corridor, observing the current situation of the Pack House. It was somewhat chaotic, probably due to the recent battle that just ended. Guests who were forced to stay due to the sudden battle, anxious servants busy serving guests, and warriors maintaining order were all busy. This chaotic situation made it easier for me to act.

This was a perfect opportunity to gather information about Jacob! The Omega who brought me back to my room gace me a brief tour and pointed out several rooms as we passed by, including Jacob's study. I remembered his study was also on the third floor, not far from my room, with only a few rooms in between.

Since Jacob was receiving treatment now, I would go to his study first and investigate. I returned to my room, closed and locked the door, then walked to the balcony and carefully observed. There was a forest growing freely below the balcony, and there shouldn't be anyone there at this time. Entering his study from the balcony was definitely the safest choice.

But...the balcony next to the study was lit, meaning someone was inside. So, I had to go around that balcony. I looked up at the balcony on the fourth floor. Great! There were no lights on the entire fourth floor, which meant there was no one in those rooms.

After planning my route, I quickly climbed several balconies and soon reached the balcony next to Jacob's study on the floor above. Just as I was about to continue climbing, some noise came from the direction of the bedroom. I immediately hid behind the balcony curtains.

As soon as I hid, the living room light was turned on, and I heard footsteps approaching. Damn it, so close! I hoped whoever was inside would turn off the lights and leave the living room quickly.

I cautiously observed the situation inside the room through the green plants beside me, but what I saw surprised me. Jacob! And he was completely naked! How could he be here?

He casually shook his hair and walked out of the bathroom. My eyes involuntarily followed the water droplets on his wet hair. The water droplets rolled down his superior jawline and fell on his well-built, bronze chest. Then, they slid down his smooth muscle lines, fell on his mermaid line, and finally disappeared into his abdomen.

When I saw the huge thing between his legs, my breathing became heavier, and I felt a little dry in my mouth. At this point, he had reached the sofa and picked up a towel to wrap his lower body, which slightly reduced the heat on my face.

He picked up a towel beside him, closed his eyes, and dried his hair while breathing. His Adam's apple moved up and down with his breath, which made my breathing even more rapid, and I had an impulse to lick it.

Realizing that I was being tempted by the enemy's body, I swore angrily at myself. Wait a minute...I suddenly realized that something was wrong. Ellie said he was injured, but I couldn't see any injuries on him.

I examined every inch of his exposed skin carefully, but besides confirming that his body was full of muscles, I couldn't draw any other conclusions. Was he deceiving everyone in the pack, or just me?

Suddenly, he stopped drying his hair and locked his gaze in my direction. I froze there instantly, my heart beating uncontrollably, praying that he wouldn't notice me.

"Who's there?!" He put down the towel in his hand and slowly walked towards where I Was frozen with a murderous aura...
