When Jennifer opened her eyes, it was already morning. She rubbed her eyes before glancing around the room.She tried to sit up but felt pain all over her body. Her entire body ached like hell.It reminded her of what had happened last night.She raised herself to a sitting position after applying some force to her arms. She was naked under the blanket that was wrapped around her body.Raymond was not in the room. She wondered where he had gone.She lifted her hand and touched her forehead. She had a headache. She attempted to retrieve something from the drawer that was located next to the bed. She proceeded to open it up and then took the box of medications that Robin had given her before their arrival here.When she opened the box, her hand stopped on a pill while she was searching for painkillers inside.'Emergency Pill'She took the pill in her hand and studied it for a considerable amount of time. She knew that she could not hope for more from Robin. Other people were unaware of
Jennifer bit her bottom lip when she heard Raymond's reply.She lowered her head. He admitted that he wanted her. She did not want more than that. It was evidence that he had feelings for her; if he didn't, there would be no reason for him to want her.She could feel his hand running over her hair gently. At that moment, they heard someone knocking on the main door.Raymond got to his feet and headed to the cabinet. He took out a black T-shirt and wore it. Then he turned to her and said,"Take a shower. I am going to check who has come."She gave him a nod and waited for him to leave the room. When he opened the door and left after closing the door behind him, she stood up. The painkillers really worked on her. She did not feel any pain in her body. She went to the bathroom and took a quick shower.She came out while wrapping a towel on her body and walked to the small cabinet. She pulled out one dress and hurriedly put it on.She wrapped a scarf around her neck, thinking someone was
The old lady told Raymond what she had told Jennifer last night.All the time, Jennifer's eyes were fixed on Raymond. His hand had already left her shoulder.During their conversation, he had an odd expression on his face. She was unable to determine if he was angry or stunned by his expression.His eyes did not stop moving for a second, as if he was controlling himself from something.She put her hand on his shoulder and was about to ask him if he was okay, but before she could ask, he stood up.Jennifer looked at him. He was heading to the main door. She also stood up and asked,"Where are you going?"He paused at the doorway. She could see his balled fists. She wondered where he was going so suddenly."Stay in the house and lock the door when she leaves."His voice was no longer honey-like in its smoothness. It turned cold. She stared at his back without responding to his words. He did not even bother to wait; he exited the house immediately.The old woman cast a quick peek toward
Delta Brian was silent. He did not reply to her. He took a step back and said,"I am waiting for you outside."Jennifer gave a dismissive shake of her head and reached for his hand."Please reassure me that he is fine. Brian, where is he right now? Is he feeling okay? I don't understand why he didn't come back to get me. I was wondering whether something had happened to him."Delta Brian stared at her for a few seconds, then looked away."He is totally okay. He had gone somewhere because of that he could not come here to take you. He will go to the Blood Moon from there."Jennifer wiped her eyes. Since Brian told her that Raymond was fine, she was relieved.She went to the bathroom and washed her face. She felt a lifting of the burden that had been sitting in her chest."He is fine. Totally fine." She repeated it to herself. She took one last look around the home before leaving it behind her.She saw Delta Brian standing outside. Before she could reach him, she met the old lady. She w
Raymond was the sole focus of Jennifer's attention. She was watching him. He was avoiding her gaze in every way. Or she could say he was totally ignoring her."What are you saying, Raymond?" Donna asked in an annoyed tone."Let Alpha come inside first." Alpha Mark stopped Donna by glaring at her.Everyone went inside so that others could enter the pack house.Raymond walked past Jennifer while grabbing the girl's hand.Jennifer was there, standing as still as a statue. Every single official cast a fleeting glance in her direction before quickly averting their gaze.Jennifer and Delta Brian locked eyes for a moment. He immediately turned away his eyes and walked over to her."Let's go inside, Jennifer."Jennifer turned around and entered the pack house. She headed to the couches. She had no feelings at that time.She was clueless about the woman's identity. She was holding her breath in expectation of Raymond's explanation. She wanted to know what happened to Raymond himself.She came
Jennifer was huddled up against the wall with her back against it as she gripped the edge of the window as tightly as she could. Her chest was heaving from the excruciating pain that she was unable to put into words.Her lips were trembling as her eyes were fixed on the man.Raymond did not look at her as if he did not care about her feelings. As if he did not know, it would break her heart. As if the things he said at the cottage were merely random words without any meaning.Raymond got up from the couch and said,"Don't talk to her about this. She has lost her memories. I would prefer it if you avoided discussing her past in front of her. Doctors all believed that it would be detrimental to her brain. I want her to have her best health here. She will stay here, and I will take care of her until she regains all of her memories."Jennifer clenched both of her hands into fists. She was speechless and could not respond. What was she going to do at that very second? In such a terrible pr
Standing up against the door, Jennifer cried. She made the decision to stop displaying her frailty to him. She was not weak.Before she even saw her mother's face for the first or last time, she lost her. Her father passed away before she could even say good-bye. Her stepfamily mistreated her throughout her entire childhood. Her mate betrayed her in the most cruel way.If she did not break down those times and stood up again, then she could do that this time too.When her father was alive, no one dared talk to her with a raised voice, hurting her was an impossible thing.But just because she had no father or backbone with her, she could not let others bully her."I can't be a loser. I can't let anyone play with me anymore."She went to bed and lay down. As tears streamed down her face, she closed her eyes.She wiped them and mumbled,"I promise you, Raymond. I will not beg for your love again."The next day, Jennifer woke up on time, though she slept late at night.She did not want to
Everyone turned their heads to Jennifer as they were stunned by her statement.The eyes of Jennifer were unruffled. Her eyes were ignoring others' reactions and focused on Florence.After hearing her, Florence reacted by blinking her eyes and taking a deep breath. She gave Raymond a sideways glance. After noticing that he was being quiet, she lowered her head.Jennifer recalled Florence's past. She realized that she was also an orphan like her.So she looked away from her and calmed herself. She did not want to give anyone trouble. But the situation was cruel for her. She was bound to do anything at any moment."I know about you. Raymond told me." Florence mumbled under her breath, which everyone heard clearly.Jennifer looked at her and asked,"Did he?"Florence nodded her head and lifted her head to face her."Yes, he did. I know that you are the Luna of this pack and in what circumstances you became the Luna."Jennifer raised her brows. She clenched her teeth together and then turn
