"I'd like to offer you a deal," Darla said intently. "And I'm sure you'll be interested in it," she continued.Lance exhaled softly as he looked away. He felt that this woman was using him, taking advantage of him for this incident. And all that only led Lance to one conclusion. Lance looked suspiciously at Darla with narrowed eyes."Are you trying to set me up?" he asked probingly.Darla opened her jaw. She licked her lips and purred softly."I'll never forget how much you enjoyed our hot night," Darla said."I told you that I was drunk. I don't remember anything. So, how do I know if I enjoyed it?" Lance retorted.Darla laughed and walked over to Lance while holding the blanket to her chest. She stopped two steps away from him and turned to the right and left."See?" Darla pointed to some kiss marks on his neck. Then she lowered the blanket slightly and said, "And all this. You left a lot of kiss marks on my body. Or do you want to see more on other parts?" Darla teased.Lance clenc
Ryn sat in front of the mirror, brushing her hair while wondering where Albert was. Since she woke up this morning, Albert had not been in the room. Last night, the Alpha had said he would take her to see how the Warriors and future Warriors of the Golden Moon Pack practised. However, until she finished bathing and was ready to leave, Albert still hadn't shown himself. Therefore, Ryn decided to go looking for Albert. She would go to the training ground but did not find him.The training ground Albert had mentioned was located in the east courtyard of the palace. To get to that place, Ryn walked down the corridor to the east wing of the court while looking around, and maybe she would find Albert in one of the places there. Unfortunately, it was not Albert that Ryn saw, but Lance."Lance? What's he doing there?" muttered Ryn.From afar, Ryn saw Lance stepping quickly from the corridor connected to Sebastian and his daughter's room. The girl furrowed her brows. Lance's room was in the we
The door closed with a bang. Ryn was startled. She squinted while closing her eyes as the door thump seemed to hit her body. The girl touched her lips to Lance's kiss mark. She regarded Lance's kind gesture as the care and affection of a friend. Although there was no denying that Ryn's heart had wondered why Lance was that good to her. It had crossed her mind if Lance considered their friendship to have more meaning. However, Ryn quickly dismissed that thought because she didn't want their friendship destroyed. And now, all was revealed. Lance had just admitted that he loved her.It may be true that there will never be a friendship between a man and a woman. There will always be another feeling involved, which is love. So, what should Ryn do? She loved Lance, but not more than a friend. Besides, she has such a strong bond with Albert. She has an undeniable love for the Alpha.Lance's expression of love reminded Ryn of when she first joined Albert in the Golden Moon Pack. She thought t
Lance Morgan entered the courtyard after Sebastian called his name. The man walked confidently, and both corners of his lips lifted to their maximum. Before joining the candidates, Lance stood facing the spot where Albert and Ryn sat. He looked at the Alpha with his chin up, his gaze calm but sharp.He smiled and said, "Thank you, Alpha Albert, for allowing me to train with your renowned Warrior. It is a great honour. When else can I train with the Alpha of the Golden Moon Pack and his Luna To-be witnessing?" Lance ended the sentence with a scrolling glance at Ryn.Lance and Ryn's eyes met each other in a straight line. Ryn felt the emotion emanating from the man's eyes—a kind of disappointment and anger mixed. The girl then turned her face away, looking in another direction because she couldn't bear to look at Lance for long. What happened this morning made Ryn feel awkward when facing the man."Alright, Mr. Morgan. I'll get you a group," Sebastian interrupted, drawing Lance's attent
"Enough!" Sebastian exclaimed as he swung his legs closer to the two men.It wasn't only Arian who saw Lance's eye color change. Another person was secretly watching him, and that person was Sebastian."Who is he actually?" muttered Sebastian.Sebastian sensed an irregularity since Lance arrived at the Golden Moon Pack. The lines on Lance's face looked familiar. Sebastian felt like he was seeing someone he knew but couldn't find that figure in his memory. With Lance's bloodshot eyes, Sebastian felt even more that Lance wasn't just anyone.Lance let go of Arian and stood straight, trying to normalize his panting breath. As his heartbeat gradually normalized, Lance's irises changed to their original color. He then extended a hand to Arian."Now, do you believe that I'm not a quitter?" Lance said with a crooked smile and one raised eyebrow.There was still a questioning look on Arian's face when the man took Lance's hand and jumped to his feet. He briefly turned to Sebastian, then center
"Alpha Albert," Jayden called out.Albert looked away, turning his head in the direction the voice came from. Jayden appeared with a severe face, walking up to the Alpha. From the Beta's expression, it looked like he had something important to say. Albert guessed that this was their pending conversation."Did they call you again?" asked Albert once Jayden stopped beside him."More than that," Jayden replied. The man paused for a moment on his words before saying, "They came here to see you.""They're here?" repeated Albert, as if doubting the Beta's words."Yes, they are here and are waiting for you to talk," Jayden confirmed.Those people were very persistent in wanting to buy his resort. They even brought the matter to the house."Is he Drake Harmon?" asked Albert."No." Jayden shook his head. "They are Mr. White and Mr. Newman.""Alright. I'll be right there," Albert said. The man asked Ryn, "Do you want to come with me?""No, I don't. I... still want to be here, watching them trai
With his body dripping with sweat, Lance went back into the room to clean up. Today's training was quite draining. Lance didn't expect training with those guys to be this much fun. Perhaps he would have felt at home in the Golden Moon Pack if it wasn't a pack under Albert's leadership. Especially with Ryn there, Lance would have loved the place. Unfortunately, all that fun had to be broken by a fact that hit him hard. In that pleasant place, the girl of his heart would belong to another man. In that fun place, his brother was ruling with his arrogance."What the fuck!" cursed Lance as he punched the wall, expressing his training with those guys frustration.Sometimes, fate is so cruel. I don't know how often Lance cursed luck for the wounds carved into his heart. However, the man was still trying to survive, even though he had to struggle to reduce the tightness in his chest.Cold water poured down his body from head to toe. He let the coldness flow across the surface of his skin, was
"If I asked you to leave, would you come with me?"That question made Ryn's body freeze. Lance had just offered her an escape. In other words, Ryn had to leave Albert and go with him.Lance snorted sarcastically while looking away. "I knew it," he said as he scanned Ryn. "You're not going to do it," the man continued."Lance-"Lance cut Ryn off by holding up his palm."You don't have to make excuses. I know what you're thinking," the man said.After saying that, Lance turned around and picked up his things from the nightstand. Then he opened the closet and took out a backpack."What the hell are you doing?" asked Ryn. The girl walked over, suspecting that Lance would do what she had in mind.Lance ignored the question. He was busy taking some of his clothes from the closet and stuffing them into the backpack, leaving only the clothes there since his arrival."Answer me! Damn it!" snapped Ryn. She tugged on Lance's shoulders, causing his body to turn toward her. Ryn gave Lance a demand
