My Military System Chapter 293
Pillow talkLuciano’s gaze directed at Talia made her uncomfortable and she wanted him to leave.“There is Tiramisu for dessert.”, Talia said when she finished the food from her plate.“You get dessert only if you join us in the dining room for a meal.”, Luciano responded.“That’s not what I meant.”, Talia said quickly. “I thought that you might want cake so you can have it when you go down.”Luciano cocked an eyebrow. “Instead of worrying about others, you should think about yourself more. What do you want to do now?”‘I want you to leave.’, Talia didn’t dare to say this aloud. “Sleep. I’m tired.”Luciano nodded faintly and his eyes fell on two empty plates. He collected the plates and stood up. “Since you are tired, go to bed.”Talia understood this is the part where they say their goodnights and she gets her privacy. “Thank you for bringing me dinner.”Luciano’s lips lifted into a smile. “You are welcome.”Neither of them moved for a few seconds and then Luciano’s eyes darted from

The apologyTalia wanted Luciano to leave, so she used the excuse of being sleepy.She needed space.Ever since the incident with Cassie, Talia didn’t find a moment to collect her thoughts.First, it was Stephanie, then Maya, and now Luciano, and Talia didn’t get a chance to think about what happened and what she will do about it. Well, she knew that she should leave the packhouse, but the question was: how far away should she flee?There must be some safe distance from Luciano and the bullies.Luciano was amused by Talia’s newfound spunk. She seemed determined to stay away from him, but he had no intention of leaving her side.He chased Cassie away, and that must count for something.“You can’t sleep like this?”, Luciano asked.“No. Not really.”, Talia said and moved her arm.The sleeve of Talia’s t-shirt hitched higher, and Luciano narrowed his eyes when he saw a fresh bruise on Talia’s upper arm.Luciano pushed himself up and examined the bruise. It was a palm print with five fing

While she was sleeping"Alpha Richard was thinking about Cassie’s words and he had a feeling that he might be on to something.Just like many other Alphas and Elders, Alpha Richard is keeping an eye on Luciano (and on the movements of the Dark Howlers pack), and Alpha Richard is aware that no matter how much they tried to pressure Luciano, it was nearly impossible to influence him because Luciano didn’t expose any weakness.The circle of people who can approach Luciano is small, and he doesn’t have any close family members. No matter what girls they send Luciano’s way, none of them kept him interested for more than one night. Well, Cassie is an exception, but she never went beyond occasional hookup.However, if there is a girl who managed to invoke Luciano’s protective side, she might be someone important.Alpha Richard’s story of how the girl might be Luciano’s relative or a spy was just nonsense to pacify Cassie; she was never the sharpest tool in the shed; far from it. Actually, Ca

The morning afterThrough her sleepy haze, Talia heard water.It sounded like a downpour.No matter what the weather was outside, Talia was in a cozy bed, surrounded by the scent of the forest and dark chocolate, and she didn’t want to wake up. She pulled the comforter over her head and drifted back to sleep.Talia’s mind stirred, and her eyes fluttered open.There was no sound of rain. It was sunny outside. Did she dream about the rain? Or was it raining during the night and then it cleared up? It didn’t matter.Talia turned lazily and her nose touched the pillow that was full of delicious smell which confirmed that the last night happened. She didn’t imagine it.Alpha Luciano was there, and he asked her to continue using this room and he said that no one will disturb her anymore and she doesn’t need to hide, and that she can train self-defense.Talia didn’t remember when she fell asleep, but she knew that Alpha Luciano slept with her, or at least held her while she was sleeping.

Shady business under the tableObviously, Luciano didn’t like the idea of Katerina visiting the Dark Howlers pack, and he also didn’t like that his two Betas were talking about it like it’s not a big deal.Sure, he didn’t tell them that Talia is his mate, but they should at least be aware of the consequences if Katerina recognizes Talia as the girl from the attic.“If Katerina comes, what will happen to Talia?”, Luciano asked.Maya had a solution ready, “We can move her with Omegas, and tell her to stay low profile until Katerina leaves. Actually, Talia wants to move out of the packhouse, and this can be a good occasion to start the process…”Luciano’s ears were buzzing and he didn’t hear the rest.Is Maya serious? How dares she think about separating him from Talia?But… can Talia stay in the packhouse with Katerina around?Only last night Luciano told Talia that this is her home and that she won’t need to hide, yet if Katerina comes, Luciano will need to eat his words and suffer the

Permission to learnLuciano worked on his breakfast while focusing on his hand under the table that held Talia’s.Talia’s warmth and delicious sparks calmed his restless mind and heart, and there was some mischief because of the discomfort Talia was trying to hide whenever his thumb moved gently over her knuckles.Luciano was upset at the thought of Katerina wanting to come, and he needed Talia’s touch to comfort him.Unfortunately, just hand-holding under the table was not enough.Luciano really wanted to hug Talia, and much more, but he knew that this is as far as he can go in the current setting, and it needs to be enough. For now.“Talia”, Maya called, and Talia’s head snapped at her.Talia’s heart raced, does Maya know what’s going on under the table? Will Maya and Caden tease her if they know that Luciano is holding her hand during breakfast?“Do you have plans for today?”, Maya asked.Talia released the breath she was holding. “I have an appointment with Doctor Travis in the m

Sandwiches for lunchTalia’s excitement related to preparing lunch dwindled when Stephanie told her that they are just making sandwiches.Talia didn’t mind washing lettuce leaves and cutting tomatoes thinly, but she was hoping to learn cooking techniques, and toasting bread didn’t require any mastery.“Did you expect something more elaborate?”, Stephanie asked.“Yes.”, Talia admitted. “It is lunch, after all.”In the Red Moon pack, every meal was like a feast for Alpha Edward, Beta Raymond, and their family members.“We don’t put a lot of importance on meal ceremonies unless there are guests in the packhouse.”, Stephanie said. “Normally, I prepare breakfast and eat in the kitchen. I don’t like to join them in the dining room because those three kids discuss their plans for the day, and it can get noisy.”Talia agreed with this. She heard Luciano, Maya, and Caden shouting that morning. Definitely noisy.“Lunch is something easy to eat since everyone is busy and no one takes elaborate

Almost nearLater that evening…Luciano was sitting in his office with a glass of whiskey in his hand and thinking about the talk he had with Caden and Maya after dinner.They discussed the upcoming festival and the issue of Katerina.The preparations for the festival were on schedule and increased security was already in effect, so they focused on discussing Katerina.They decided to work on delaying her visit.It was Maya’s plan.“Instead of telling her not to come, we will tell her WHEN to come.”Luciano didn’t like it, but he gestured to Maya to keep on talking.“Two weeks.”, Maya said. “We will tell Katerina that your schedule is packed and that you can’t entertain her now, but in two weeks she can come, and you will make it up to her.”“You think Katerina and Alpha Edward will accept this two-week delay?”, Luciano asked.“No.”, Maya said bluntly before elaborating, “This is not about getting two weeks, but about negotiating. I expect that they will ask for Katerina to come soon

He's not deadCaen, Isona, and Dion gazed at the screen, wondering what Vega had to show them when a video started playing.In the video, a young silver-haired boy could be seen. The boy only looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old at most. The boy was wearing a basic robe, lying on a bed. Machines were connected to him.They observed the video and noticed how the boy seemed like he was being tortured. There were three more people in the room that looked like scientists. The video ended as the boy stopped moving as if he was dead. The Scientists left the room. Some maids came, wrapped the boy in sheets, and carried him outside.Vega removed his hand from the screen as the video ended. Gazing back at his people, he calmly asked,"What did you think about that video?""What was that video? Some scientists doing experiments on a kid, or was it torture?" Caen asked.He continued,"We already know humans are cruel. Nothing new. Why should we care if a kid was killed? Unless... There's s

A fool's errandOmega sat down in front of Kahn and bowed his head without looking Kahn in the eyes. It felt as if Omega was submitting himself and acknowledging Kahn as it's master. The next moment, Kahn felt a connection towards Omega as of the wolf was an extension of his own body and consciousness.“Do you understand what I'm saying?” Kahn asked Omega to check whether his guess was right.Omega nodded in response and stood back up.“Good. Now go and hunt something I could eat. Not too big and meat shouldn't be too hard to chew.” Kahn commanded Omega. Since je was under the weakened state, he barely had strength to walk and could not go to find something to eat.He thought about having something to eat first because he had no energy left in him and meat was the best source to regain strength.After Omega ran off towards the bushes and completely disappeared out of his sight, Kahn called to the system again.“System, can you help me create fire?” Kahn asked curiously.«What am I, y

Tell me moreKahn heard all the notifications inside his head. He already expected something like this to happen when he killed the red wolf and heard the Ding sound in his head.To his surprise, he not only learned how to activate War Dominance but he also broke through the current threshold of his capacity and already went past his limits to meet the conditions to unlock his War Deity Body. This means he will be twice stronger when he recovered his strength again.The first encounter Kahn had in Vantrea as soon as he entered was a life or death battle and he barely managed to survive. Who knew if eh we ended up dying here, would anyone ever know or care? He would die just a nameless death.. AGAIN.Kahn tried to focus his mind again on the notifications in his mind. There was no system panel or screen board for him to check these notifications in a list or scroll through them one by one. It was as if this system was part of his consciousness itself and somehow acted like his mind wh

VantreaDerek's new body.. now Kahn.. was something he always dreamt of and wanted to have in his ideal standards of a physical body. He was six-feet and three-inches tall, normal white skin tone same as his previous life. He had an angled but somewhat wider jaw. His face was well proportioned and very handsome. He had bulging muscles and six pack abs. Unlike his previous life, this time his hair color was completely black and not brown. They were smooth, soft, and wavy. His hair was done from the right side from his perspective. They were long but not till his shoulder length long either. His eyes were black, unlike his former life where they were blue. It was not to stand out or being assumed as someone from a particular region because blue eyes were always most noticeable part of particular countries or regions. Black hair and eye color was very universal on the other hand.His built was very balanced. His upper body had wider shoulders and big arms, his chest was big enough to ali

I found himIn the void of nothingness, where the flow of time itself didn't exist and not even a ray of light could be seen. This place was neither Heaven nor Hell. It was just an infinite space filled with absolute nothing as if the concept of life and death did not exist here.Suddenly, a crack in space appeared out of nowhere, it kept elongating at an extremely fast speed and in an instant, it stretched around ten kilometers and a gigantic figure sitting on a black stone throne which was no less than a size of a mountain itself emerged from the other side of the void.This figure was akin to the height of a couple of mountains, completely clad in majestic black clothes and had a hood on the head almost resembling the Grim Reaper itself. Its face could not be seen as if it didn't exist. It looked around for a moment and waved its right hand and created a space of its own, widening for a dozen kilometers and stabilizing itself like forming a gigantic barrier.An ancient voice, so de

Accident“A car accident!?” Derek yelled while rushing out of the door and looking for a cab.“We don't have any fucken car! What the hell happened!?” Derek yelled at the nurse.“I'm sorry, I'm not at liberty to say. The doctors will explain it..” Derek hung up on her. He had no time for useless babbling, only for a goddamn cab. Every second in the traffic was torture, and when he finally arrived, it was too late.The surgeon and a police officer explained to him that Carl had been run over by a drunk driver. The culprit had run off and the police was still looking for him.A bystander had immediately called 911, but because of the traffic jam caused by the accident, it took hours for the ambulance to arrive. So when Carl arrived at the hospital he was already in critical conditions. He had multiple fractures, ruptured spleen and internal bleeding, requiring immediately surgery. Derek had been called to while Carl was just entering the OR.They had done their best to save him, but Car

Kill EzioThe bullying ended, but his social life never stopped being miserable. How could he possibly make any friend with such a shameful private life?He had to constantly hide the bruises with long sleeves and had run out of plausible excuses for his streak of black eyes months before. His classmates and professors simply pretended to believe being that good of a liar. It was painful, but manageable. He still had his little brother to share that pain with. Carl was all he had, his family, friend and confidant. He was Derek's whole world.But when that age came, he started having crushes towards girls in his school, and those feelings weren't easily suppressed. Once again, he felt utterly helpless.He could not tell anyone about his problems, could not allow people to get close to him, otherwise he would have to think of an explanation for not being allowed to bring any friend home. Let alone a girl he liked.Derek was tormented by cruel thoughts, often demanding the heavens why wh

Broken homeNo matter if you are a pessimist or an an optimist, Derek Esposito's life wasn't a good one nor a bad one. It was just a mediocre insignificant existence.His father was a bipolar abusive man, capable of disappearing in his bedroom for days during the depressive phase. He would wake up only to eat, use the bathroom and the occasional "Let's make your life miserable" fit of rage.During his euphoric phase, he would work like a madman, but not having any talent either as a businessman nor as a social climber, he was unable to both being successful and establishing the right connections.In his natural state, whenever he decided to actually take his medications, he was just a coach potato that would stand up and go to work just to avoid the blame and spite from neighbors and peers. Whatever was his mental condition, he always was a perfect example of an abusive father.His sons were always a disgrace in his eyes. They never studied hard enough, not did show enough respect. An

X marks the spotAfter days of traveling through the desert, the survivors finally saw it - a hidden city, nestled in the heart of a valley."Wow," Dr. Taylor breathed, her eyes wide with wonder. "This is incredible."Alex nodded, their heart racing with excitement. "Let's go," they said. "We need to find out if it's safe."As they entered the city, they saw that it was abandoned - but not destroyed. The buildings were intact, the streets clean."It's like they just left," Jax said, his voice filled with awe.Dr. Taylor nodded, her eyes scanning the streets. "I think they did," she said. "I think they left in a hurry."Alex frowned, their mind racing with questions. "Why?" they asked. "What happened here?"But there were no answers. Just an eerie silence, and the feeling that they were being watched."Let's find a place to hide," Jax said, his voice low. "We don't know what's going on here."Alex nodded, their heart heavy with foreboding. "Yeah," they said. "Let's do that."As they mo
