"What promise?"Jennifer asked the question since she wanted to know about the thoughts that were going through Raymond's head at the time."We don't know it. He doesn't tell us much.""You are his best friend, Justin."He looked at her. "We told you before. He has many secrets that he does not like to share with anyone, not even with us."Jennifer was speechless. She saw him leaving her office.She grabbed her hair and felt distressed. No matter how hard she tried, she was unable to get herself to relax. Her life was slowly but surely becoming disrupted by a series of misfortunes.'Who knows what you have planned for me next, Raymond?' She thought, grabbed a file from the desk, and continued to work on it.Her attention was drawn to the name of a pack. 'Blood Pearl Pack'She stroked her finger over the name. Her gaze lingered on the name for a long time. It was a file about a pack that had alliances. That pack was aligned with the Blood Pearl Pack. After she had finished reading t
Jennifer came out of Raymond's office. She went into the bedroom and shut the door.She sat on the bed, recalling what Raymond had said to her in his office."One-sided love"She repeated those words. She was regretting that she ever confessed to him.'You don't deserve my love. Only I know how pure my love was for you. But every single time I tried to express it to you, you made me feel humiliated.'She thought about that night when he healed her wound. Then the night, when he took her gently when he heard that she was a virgin. The night he saved her from those filthy men and assured her she would only remember him when she thought about it.Indeed, only he came into her mind whenever she thought about it.Saying that people forget everything and move on in life hurriedly is not that easy.It also applied with Jennifer. She made herself busy persuading herself. At that time,Delta Brian came to the bedroom since the door was open. She was so lost to forget to close the door. Brian
Jennifer realized that she had not brought any guards with her. But she was merely going to see a friend. She did not need any security there.So she started typing on her phone."I don't need any security. I am going to meet April."She assumed he would not respond. But she was wrong. He replied to her message."I am sending guards after you.""No need.""Why didn't you receive my calls?""I don't need to. You should be busy with your work, Alpha. Focus on that."In response, she locked her phone and placed it in her bag. She was already furious with him. She did not want to ruin her mood. Because after going back to the pack house, she would have to face him again. So she should spend a good time outside.The car stopped close to the pack border. She noticed a white car parked off to the side of the road.Two women were standing outside the car.Jennifer exited the car and smiled at the woman, who was dressed in a white silk gown."April."She walked to her and hugged her. April loo
'She is Keith's sister?' Jennifer thought.She nodded at April and turned to Katrina."I see.""There shouldn't be any issues with that, should there?" Katrin inquired while maintaining a wary expression."Why would I have a problem with it?""Well, my brother is Keith. Everyone knows about the rivalry. So you may not like me."Jennifer shook her head and replied,"Nothing is like that. Since you are April's friend, we can get along too. I think it will be easy for us to get along. And with regard to the rivalry, I believe we settled on the terms of the deal that your brother proposed the last time in the pack meeting. Therefore, there is no longer any hostility."When they heard that, the other ladies' faces immediately became relaxed. Jennifer realized that the reason they kept their distance from Katrina was not because of her pack but rather because of Jennifer. They initially acted as though they were waiting to gauge her reaction before changing their behavior accordingly.The s
Jennifer was stunned that Alpha Keith had come to this pack."Oh. Then I am calling my driver to pick me up."Katrina nodded her head in agreement. She looked outside from there, waiting for her brother.While Jennifer was glancing at Katrina, she dialed her driver's number on her phone. She could tell from the young woman's expression how much affection she had for her brother."There he is." She said and gestured her head toward the glass door that detected people and automatically opened to let them come inside.When Jennifer turned her head in that direction, she spotted Alpha Keith approaching them. His eyes fell on her, then moved to her clothes.She realized that she was not in Luna's appearance but in a casual dress."Luna?" She heard her driver's voice. She looked away from Keith and replied,"Come pick me up from Crown City Shopping Mall.""Okay, Luna. I am on the way."Jennifer cut the call and greeted Alpha Keith when he stood in front of them."Alpha Keith."Katrina gave
As Raymond began to look around the cafe, Jennifer's brows wrinkled as she noticed him. She immediately turned away and hid her face with one of her palms.'What is he doing here?' She thought. She made the assumption that he was here for the purpose of dealing with anyone. So she tried to hide herself from him because she did not want to talk to him, at least not after what he had told her today.Keith's eyes landed on her, and he chuckled at her childish behavior."Why are you hiding?" He asked Jennifer.Katrina, who was busy admiring Raymond's handsome face, turned to her brother and noticed he was looking at Jennifer.She turned to her and asked,"Yeah, brother is right. Why are you hiding? Are you trying to control yourself from seeing the good looking man because you are already married?""Kat, stop blabbing." Keith warned her with a warning tone."Oh, brother, I am sorry. I forgot you were here." She mumbled, then laughed.Jennifer heard the siblings' conversation. She learned
Jennifer heard a loud growl. The growl caused her entire body to shake.Everyone who was in the coffee shop was taken aback when they heard the growl. They were unable to fathom the possibility that someone of such formidable might could be so close to them. They were quiet for a few seconds while they glanced around for the wolf that had just growled. But when they could not understand who did it, they went back to their conversation with others.Raymond's eyes narrowed as he fixed them on Keith. While Keith wore a sneer on his face the entire time."Why are you growling? Did I say something wrong? Is she not beautiful in your eyes?" He asked as if it were truly his query and not a mockery of the situation."Just because I am calm down, don't play with my patience. Don't forget that you are still in my pack." Raymond's resonant utterances caused the other two women to remain silent.Katrina was looking down as if she had already submitted to the growl. She slowly looked at Raymond a
Jennifer stared at Keith to comprehend his words. They were heavy words that could not proceed in her head.However, Raymond might figure out what Keith was talking about. That was why his chill mood turned grim.He scowled at him and replied,"What's mine will always be mine. By hook or by crook."Keith nodded his head. "Will see." He then glanced at Jennifer, who looked lost. He smiled at her. "See you soon, Jennifer."Saying that, he left the cafe with his sister.Jennifer was stricken dumb by what had just happened.She could sense Raymond's heat emanating from him. He might be really angry about how Keith had just challenged him for his position.She assumed that they were talking about their packs.She did not dare to look at Raymond. She turned her body to the window and took out her phone from his bag.She was about to dial her driver to pick her up, but he snatched her phone away from her.She turned to him and felt him grabbing her wrist tightly.He tugged her along as he g
