Jennifer tried to get out of bed, but she was prevented from doing so by someone grabbing her hand and pulling her backward.She landed directly on a solid chest. She moved her head to look at the man, who had already turned his back on the bed."Where are you going? Are you trying to hide from me?" Raymond asked with a grin.Jennifer looked away from him and replied,"W-Why would I hide? This is my house. I don't need to hide from anyone here."She attempted to get away from him. On the other hand, he was thinking about something else. His hold around her waist became very firm. He did not want to let go of her. Not after finding her after what seemed like an eternity had passed.She looked at him and said indifferently, "Leave me."She felt his fingers stroke her back as he muttered,"But last night, you were saying something else."She got mad at herself after hearing him. He noticed her expression and chuckled."You are cute.""Shut up." She said and sat up. He also let her go.He
Jennifer's calm eyes could not stay calm when she heard what Keith had told her."I see." She muttered in a lower tone."You have to do something, Jennifer. Come to the pack house. I will wait for you.""Okay. Bye."Jennifer carelessly tossed her phone on the mattress. She got to her feet and wrapped the quilt around her body tightly. She waited for Raymond to come out of the bathroom.The door was opened after a few minutes, and Raymond came out. He was in last night's clothes since he had nothing to wear. His clothes reminded her how long he had been standing outside her house under a rainstorm.She thought he would try to talk to her, but instead of approaching, he left the room. She was stunned by his action, but then she mumbled,"Good for me that he left."She went to take a shower. In the bathroom, she could see his traces on her body, which made her cry. She cried under the shower. She was tired. She did not know what she would do with the rest of her life once she achieved wh
Jennifer kept her gaze fixed on Raymond. She was attempting to decipher the meaning of his facial expression. His face turned fiercer, as if something really had happened in his pack.She was curious to learn what had happened that had caused him to appear so worried.'Is everyone okay there? What about the ladies in the pack house? Are they okay?' She thought about them and felt concerned for them."I'm coming back." Raymond said and cut off the call.He looked at Jennifer. She cleared her throat and asked,"Is everything okay?""Why do you care? Didn't you just ask for a divorce?" He asked. His tone was cold."Raymond Scott, don't take out your frustration on me. I don't know what has happened in your pack, but I am not here to take your aggression."He stepped toward her. She was taken aback. She stepped backward. But he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to him. He spoke to her while staring deeply into her eyes and said,"If I wanted to use your body, I could do tha
Jennifer stood there, staring at the door that Raymond had just slammed behind him as he walked out of the house.She slowly lifted her hand and touched her lips. She noticed blood on her finger. It was his blood. She looked away from her hand and closed her eyes. Tears rolled down her cheeks."Am I not allowed to live a life where I can just be happy with myself?"She lost herself. She felt defeated by her own heart, which was now crying for the man who had caused her so much pain. Because her wolf was so eager to be with her mate, she was powerless to fight with her."Dad, can you see me? I am all alone without you. You never allowed anyone to hurt me for a moment when you were alive, but after you died, everyone had been hurting me for no reason."She wiped her tears as her eyes turned blue in anger. She shook her head and mumbled,"No. I can't let those people go so easily. They killed you. They killed my life by parting you from me. They abused me all of my life and then sold me
Jennifer's mood was bad when she emerged from the office room. She was extremely angry with herself. She believed she never ever gave any hint to Keith to feel like that. Then why? Then how did he develop feelings for her?'Just like how I foolishly fell for Raymond even though he never gave me any hint to accept me in his heart.' She thought and walked to the hallway."You are thrilled today. Looks like finally you entangled my brother in your trap like a fish."Jennifer came to a halt and turned to the corner on the left. She looked over and spotted Katrina leaning against the wall while she was standing there.Jennifer walked to her and said,"Katrina, I know you don't like me at all. But I want to tell you that I don't have any kind of bad intentions for you or your brother. I always saw him as my very good friend who once saved me from danger. Since that day, the thought of respect for him has been ingrained in my mind."Katrin crossed her arms across her chest and gave her a nod
"Ian, I need to speak to you about something. Why did you lie to Katrina?" Jennifer interrogated Ian while giving him an aggravated expression.Jennifer went straight to the training hall after talking with Katrina so that she could have a conversation with Ian there. She did not expect him to say something like this to others."She is just crazy. I never said anything like this to her." Ian replied. He glanced at the pack fighters and signaled them to continue. However, Jennifer reached out, grabbed him by the wrist, and dragged him out of the training hall."You have to answer me.""What, Jen?""About what is going on. Did I ever give you any hint or something?""No way. I didn't say anything to her about you. I swear. She is a mad woman. Nothing else."Jennifer gave him a thorough look before saying, "I know you two are mates."His brows furrowed in surprise. "How? Did she say something to you?"Yeah.""That woman!""Ian, what the heck is wrong with you? Why are you so disturbed a
The next day, Jennifer went to the pack house for training. She knew very soon she would have to join the battlefield. She could not feel overconfident. To be able to fight with wolves while in human form, she would need to receive additional training. Because of her mark, she had never spent any time training in her wolf form. Katrina, Keith, and the officials working for him were the only ones who were aware of the fact that she was a cursed wolf.While Jennifer was working on her moves inside the training hall, she noticed Katrina standing outside, looking at her.Jennifer experienced a sense of annoyance. She suspected that Katrina would level another accusation against her regarding Ian. Therefore, she pretended not to notice her presence and continued her training sessions. It was good that Ian was not present in the training hall with her at the time; if he had been, Katrina likely would have caused some chaos in this area.When it was break time, Jennifer left the hall so that
ONE WEEK LATERThe time had finally come for Jennifer to take her revenge, and she was not going to wait any longer.Jennifer had spent the entirety of the past week reflecting on what Katrina and Bella said to her.She was surprised when she heard that Raymond knew about her before their marriage, but he could not recognize her.But she believed Bella lied to her because she was one of Raymond's people.On the other hand, she was upset that Bella had left the pack house. Jennifer began to experience feelings of loneliness once more. She missed Bella the whole week.Something had shifted in the atmosphere around Katrina and Ian. Katrina was chasing Ian and expressed her feelings for him. He told her that she would have to be a calm person if she wanted to be with him. She agreed and controlled her temperament. As Ian promised, he indeed talked to Keith about them. Keith did not have much opposition to it. But he asked Katrina about it and if she was okay with it. Katrina expressed tha
