Jennifer was engrossed in her work, carefully poring over the papers before her. Understanding the intricacies of the task at hand would undoubtedly require a considerable amount of time. Thanks to the guidance provided by Theta Padro in training her for folder-related matters, Jennifer was working on some files about the education system. As she delved into the documents, memories flooded her mind, reminding her of her unfulfilled desire to venture out like other girls and study outside. Unfortunately, her stepfamily had vehemently opposed such aspirations, denying her the opportunity.Letting out a sigh, Jennifer redirected her attention to the papers strewn across her desk. However, her concentration was interrupted by a series of knocks on the door.“Come in,” she said.A maid brought her lunch to her room. Jennifer could not believe how many hours went by at work, and she did not even notice. She ate lunch in her office and worked until late at night.When she went outside, she
Jennifer stood up from the couch immediately.“W-Why is he c-coming here?”Everyone was surprised by her tone and reaction. Raymond was observing her expression with his sharp eyes.“What happened, Jennifer?” Delta Brian asked.Realizing her action, she gulped and sat down slowly. She tried to calm herself and asked,“Nothing. How come the new Alpha was coming to our Pack? I mean, why so suddenly? I didn’t hear about this.”Gamma Glen shook his head. “He wanted to come last week, but Raymond declined. However, today he reached out to Raymond, stating that he had something important to discuss, So Raymond told him to come tomorrow.”Jennifer tightened her fists when she heard Nathan was coming to tell Raymond something.What would he say to Raymond? Would he tell Raymond everything about her? About her identity?Jennifer felt heavy in her chest. She tried to start a new life here. Why was her past coming to destroy her life?“Have you ever been to the Blood Pearl Pack?” Jennifer heard
Nathan’s eyes widened. “Luna? How is this possible?”Beta Justin came to him and said, “Your Pack did not get any invitation for the wedding?” Nathan gave Jennifer a look, “Wedding?”Raymond glanced at Alpha Mark. “You didn’t send any invitation to the Blood Pearl Pack?”Alpha Mark looked at Jennifer, who appeared to be confused. Then he turned to look at Raymond.“Well, I invited a few Alphas only. The Blood Pearl Pack had no Alpha then, so I did not send any invitation.”“I see,” Raymond replied and turned his head to Jennifer.“Greet Alpha Nathan. He is our guest.”Jennifer could feel her heart start to beat quickly. When Raymond told Nathan that she was his Luna, she was shocked. This was the first time he called her Luna. She was afraid of losing him, though.Jennifer shut her eyes and thought, ‘I am his Luna. No one can do anything to me. I can’t be scared of a cheater.’She raised her head and looked straight into Nathan’s eyes. He seemed mad. What did he want? After what he
Jennifer sat up and looked at Raymond, her heart racing. His eyes were still glued to his laptop screen, seemingly unaware of her inner turmoil. She couldn’t shake off the feeling of unease. How did he know? Was he aware of her true identity too?“A-Alpha-“Looking at her, he asked, “Yes or no?” His icy stare conveyed his anger toward her. With no explanation to offer, she nodded in agreement and responded, “Yes, I was from the Blood Pearl pack. But now I am a member of this pack. I have no connection with that pack anymore.”He raised his brow when he heard her answer. “Then why did you lie when I asked you last night?”Jennifer bit her bottom lip and looked away from him. “I-I did not want to talk about that pack.”“Are you unwilling to discuss either the pack or its members?” he inquired, to which she remained silent, pondering her response. Eventually, her gaze shifted towards him as he remarked, “It seems like you’ve always been interested in the Alphas,” he stated. Caught off gu
With a smile, Nathan reached out and affectionately patted her head. “You seem tired. You can rest. I’ll be here, waiting to talk whenever you’re ready.”Jennifer frowned and pushed his hand.“How dare you touch me?”Nathan rolled his eyes. “Stop overreacting, Jennifer. You are still my mate. Don’t forget that.”“So? I will not be your mate forever. After all, you are going to marry that girl soon.”Nathan shook his head, offering, “If you’d like, I can end the relationship with her. Come with me, Jennifer.”Jennifer was stunned. “Are you serious? What type of man are you?”“I realize now the gravity of my wrongdoing, and I deeply regret it. Only after losing you did I truly comprehend the magnitude of my mistake. I searched tirelessly, combing through every corner in a desperate attempt to find you. However, to my dismay, you had vanished from the Blood Pearl, leaving no trace behind. I asked your mother-”“That woman is not my mother.”“Your stepmother. I asked her, but she said you
Raymond maneuvered his wheelchair in reverse, returning to his room after having just finished his shower. He intended to head to his office just a few steps away from Luna’s office. Raymond didn’t anticipate eavesdropping on their conversation.Previously, Raymond had always regarded Jennifer as a greedy woman. However, what he overheard today presented a different perspective.Meanwhile, Jennifer swung the door open and forcefully nudged Nathan out of her office. “Leave my office! You’re leaving tonight, right? It’s better if you leave now.” With a resounding slam, she shut the door in his face.Jennifer let out a sigh, clutching her hair in her hands. Were it not for her grip on the desk, she might have succumbed to collapsing entirely. She couldn’t afford to display any vulnerability in front of Nathan. His actions were unforgivable. She couldn’t forgive a cheater, especially considering she was now married. How dare he lay a hand on her at any moment? And to speak ill of Raymond
Nathan gulped when he heard Raymond.“A-Alpha...” He lost his voice.“The ‘Alpha’ rank suits you well. I trust you’ll handle it responsibly,” Raymond responded. Nathan was left dumbfounded, but Raymond chuckled and added, “A simple alert is enough for smart people, right?” “Y-Yes.”“So I hope you understand what I told you.”“Yes, Alpha. I got it,” Nathan said and bowed again, afraid for his life. He knew what Raymond could do but was shocked that Raymond cared for the woman he thought was a weak omega. Did he really know who she was?However, he left the pack house in fear.Raymond stared at Nathan’s car until it disappeared from his sight.“So, warning and all, huh?”Raymond turned his wheelchair and looked at Beta Justin angrily.“What, bro? What did I do? It was Masson and Nathan who were after your wife. Not me.”Raymond rolled his eyes and moved his wheelchair forward.“Everyone is thinking you are weak now,” Justin spoke.“That’s what I wanted,” Raymond replied.“Well, you su
The car was completely silent, leaving Jennifer eagerly awaiting Raymond’s response. Yet, to her dismay, nothing reached her ears. She pressed her lips together, understanding his fury all too well. After all, why wouldn’t he be angry? He had married her, only to discover she had a mate.With trepidation, she slowly turned to the right, glancing at Raymond. He stared back at her, his expression vacant, as though unaffected by the situation. However, his silence instilled a sense of fear within her. She swallowed hard, her heart pounding like a marathon, its thunderous beats seemingly audible even to him.“Al-Alpha?” She called with a shaken tone.“So he is your mate?” He finally let out. His chilly voice gave her goosebumps.As she observed their proximity, she realized how rarely they had been this near each other, except for those two nights. Her gaze gently traced his face, lingering on his lips, which appeared soft and rugged. The memory of their touch still lingered on her lips.
