ShannonI leaned in closer to make it seem like I was about to kiss him, when I saw him close his eyes, I turned my head to his ear."Now if you'd excuse me."I felt his burning gaze on my back as I walked away from him, especially on my ass. I was tempted to look back, but I held myself back.It se
How would I ever recover from this?The sound of the door being opened woke me up. Somehow I fell asleep with the letter in my hand. I was too tired to realize this was Vernon's room. I could hear his footstep getting closer to bed.I was facing away from the door so he didn't see my face, I quickly
ShannonI woke up to hear the soft chirping of the birds, I slowly sat up to find myself alone in bed. Vernon wasn't here. I looked out of the window to see the sun had risen up, it must be well past 9 o'clock.Blood was rushed to my head after I remembered what happen last night. I was intimated wi
ShannonThere was a light knock on the door."Alpha Vernon, it's time for your meeting now," Adonis said as he stood by the door."Alright, I will leave you to it." I nodded at Vernon as I turned to leave his office, he grabbed my wrist as he was reluctant to let me go."Don't go far, okay? You can
Shannon"Lun... Miss Shannon, are you okay?" Adonis asked me as he carefully observed the wound on my arm.I twisted my head to check the wound, it was not deep, just a scratch. So I didn't know why he cared so much about the wound."I'm okay." Still, I gave him a reassuring smile. He showed kindnes
ShannonHe didn't answer my question, instead, he looked at me with intense eyes. I was starting to feel the effect of his aura, although Vernon's aura was stronger than his, but he never intentionally let it out to intimidate me. Gosh, this guy must be related to Vernon somehow.Just when I was str
VernonI didn't expect to see Melvin here. I couldn't even remember the last time I saw him. But here he was, standing there threatening Shannon and me.I could tell Shannon was curious about Melvin. I only told her that Melvin was my brother. I didn't want to be associated with him somehow, certain
Vernon"Just a little?" I asked her.I felt all the burden of confessing my past to her gone after hearing her say that. Nothing else mattered right now, Shannon was the only thing I see."Well, maybe not a little, a little bit more was the correct word.""Oh but only a little won't do, what do I ne
Chapter 115Shannon"I know. But how are you going to do that? If you don't have the secret weapon, you will need all the help you could use."He seemed to be considering what I just said."Yes, but I really don't want to risk you, and that little girl. If you are not going to Arthur's, where do you
Shannon"What do you mean it will need a lot of my blood?""You said it yourself, you need one drop of your blood to light up the rock. But the treasure land is a land. You will need to spill all your blood and maybe some more to get the treasure to unlock. Are you okay with this?"I didn't know. I
VernonI knew my decision not to tell her that my father was the one who made her an orphan would come and bite me in the ass later.But I never expected that the truth would be slapped on her face like this. By a strange guy who was allegedly supposed to be her husband.All I noticed was that I saw
ShannonI said okay because I already saw Adonis standing behind him. Adonis was a little taller than Jayde. I pretended to pick up Isabella and walked over, but no more than two steps, I saw Adonis put him into a headlock.Hugo pushed back and Adonis dropped the knife. I set Isabella down and immed
ShannonBefore I could ask out loud, Vernon was the first to speak."What do you mean gone?""I wanted to check on him after I woke up, and when we walked to the closet, he was already gone..."Fuck, we underestimated him. I remembered we checked on him last night, and that meant at some point last
ShannonI couldn't sleep. I tossed and turned until the midnight blue turned white again. I couldn't stop looking at Isabella who was sleeping peacefully beside me. I knew it was creepy, but I couldn't help but look at her features. And I replied to what Hugo said in my mind.She was my cousin, she
Shannon"What?"I never expected to hear Vernon's name in my family matter..."Didn't he tell you? I expected him not to. Since he brought you here, he knew that you were the heir of the guardian family. In fact, he was the one who told you, right?"I nodded even without thinking. The past 10 minute
ShannonI slowly pushed the door open, making as little sound as possible. Luckily I already checked the door when we were picking rooms. I picked this room because I didn't have to go around any room in case I bumped into Vernon on my way out.I didn't even put on my shoes for this. I supposed ther
Shannon"What do you mean?"Vernon and I asked at the same time. And then we turned to look at each other and shared a look.But that didn't escape Hugo, because he just smiled and shook his head."Oh, nothing. I remember someone from my childhood."This concerned me even more, because Vernon said t
