Selena’s POV What would Charles and my father be talking about in the study? I looked in the direction of the study on the second floor, where it was quiet and no one came out. A maid made me a cup of coffee, and I sat on a bench near the French window in the living room, basking in the sun and
We're too close! He's my brother-in-law! I was anxious to free myself from his hand. When I tried hard, I found that his strength was much greater than I thought. He ignored my struggle and remained close to me. "Your sister might blame me if you fall." "Thank you..." Suddenly, there was a l
Selena’s POV Not long after Charles left, there were some footsteps at the door. I didn't want to move. I just sat there like a statue. There's someone at the door. "Selena, are you there?" I don't want to talk, and I just want to be alone. The knocker opened the door without waiting for a
Stella's POV: By noon, even though I had kept it a secret, our father knew Charles had left. He looked a little tired, but he still snapped at Selena aggressively. "Charles left. Did you make him angry? Why are you still at home? Get back to your husband now!" Selena stood stubbornly still. "N
Selena’s POV Silence, still silence. I don't know if Charles told Billy about us. Anyway, I have nothing to say to Billy, although I notice he's been watching me in the rearview mirror. At the traffic lights, Billy couldn't hold it in any longer. "Selena, I don't know what happened between you
As I took the photo, my hands began to shake for no reason. The photograph shows the body of a woman whose face is covered by a black cloth and the skin of her upper body is torn off. Her heart was an empty hole, her neck was deeply scarred, and her blood had turned black. A small blue handkerchie
Selena’s POV The Black Valley pack is surrounded by a forest where the trees are ancient and primeval. Thick clouds covered the broad sky, dyeing the trees black-green. The sky looked lower than usual, making people feel depressed. The damp, oppressive air enveloped us. As we walked, there was a
"There was no sign of the killer?" Charles asked, frowning, looking down at the body in the middle. The soldier shook his head sadly. "No... even if there were any clues, they were washed away by the heavy rain... Ten people have died, alas!" Their voices faded in the rain. A voice in my head is
Atticus' POV: I understood that I had no other choice but to get Eloise to agree. The scandal between Lisa and I had been widely spread. The best way to solve this problem was to prove that Eloise and I were still very close, at least to the extent that we could attend this event together. "We
Atticus' POV: Although I wanted to reject the mate connection with Eloise, she sounded very dissatisfied with me right now. Why would she think of me this way? She was the one who had done something unforgivable before. "I've never lied to anyone. I promise you as an Alpha." I looked at her an
Eloise's POV: "How's your chat going?" Soren walked in from the door. He looked at Atticus as if he had just eaten a fly. I swallowed the rest of the words I didn't manage to say. For an Alpha like Atticus, there weren't many things that could hurt him, so this meant that someone must have caref
Eloise's POV: "What? What's happening?" Looking at Soren's expression, I only felt a little scared. My intuition told me something had happened to Atticus, but I still didn't want to believe it. "Don't worry. You'll know when you get there. But before that, I want to ask you a few questions."
Eloise's POV: "I think I need to confirm this with you again." Chloe seemed doubtful. "Are you saying that Atticus wants to have dinner with you? Do you really believe him?" "To be honest, I don't believe it. But he gave me too much money. I won't feel at ease if I don't go," I said sincerely.
Atticus' POV: "Could you be hoping that I'll go and find her now?" I looked at Eloise. I hoped she knew what she was trying to say. However, it was obvious that she didn't realize what was wrong with what she said. I was staying far away from Lisa to avoid future trouble. After all, I knew how
Eloise's POV: I looked at my account balance on my phone and stepped into the store he had mentioned with satisfaction. After learning of my identity, the shop assistants enthusiastically surrounded me. "Isn't this a little... "I tried to stand as far away as possible. "This is what we should
Eloise's POV: The ear-piercing sound of the phone's ringtone pulled me out of my dream. In the dream, I was eating my favorite dessert. I couldn't accept such a big difference. I wasn't feeling my best when I answered. "Hello, who's this?" The person on the other end of the phone only coughed
Atticus' POV: I tried to stay calm, but Lisa was too close to me. This made my wolf feel uncomfortable. She opened her eyes and grabbed my sleeve, looking very aggrieved. "Do you feel better?" I tried not to sit too far away. But the truth was, I didn't want her to be here. She came here alo
