"Stay away from her!" Taggart warned Damian when he made such a simple introduction to attract Pearl. Pearl glanced at Taggart, then back at Damian. Damian stared haughtily at the furious Taggart. The madness shows its best in Taggart's responses about Damian. He doesn't like competition."None of your business. I'm talking to Miss Pearl." Damian confronted Taggart to fight back."She doesn't know you!" Taggart raised his pitch even more. It felt like he wanted to choke Damian, who had ruined his dinner ball."I'm sorry, Sir, I have to go home," Pearl said bravely. She didn't want to be in that mansion anymore. Fear crept into her mind after learning the truth about the dinner's purpose."Dad, help me," Pearl whispered to her father. The look on her face was anxious and afraid. Sandra instantly interrupted and glared at her act."Hey, don't be such a baby! You can't just leave." Sandra glared at Pearl. Pearl only glanced at her, then begged John ag
"Dad, I don't want to get married! I want to continue my career at Excellor." Pearl persisted in begging while whining a hundred times. She would never give up to tell how she felt. Since returning from the Kellent, Pearl was increasingly uneasy. She would do anything to negotiate or beg, even if she had to cry. Everything she fought for all this time was in vain because of that arranged marriage. After all, she dislikes Taggart Kellent."Be quiet, Pearl. Don't keep whining. We will not change any decisions. Taggart Kellent will be your fiancé, and you will marry him." Sandra directly scolded rebelled Pearl."But Mom, I'm still young. I just turned 21 last month. How could you bury my future like that? I can't do that." Pearl was on the verge of crying as she desperately explained the situation to Sandra. Sandra sat in the front passenger seat. Thus, she was so annoyed with Pearl that she turned back to scold her."Why not? You have to wait and sit back a
John saved his baby girl, Pearl, from Sandra today. He took his daughter out of the house by taking her to the Excellor early in the morning. He needs to talk to her about so many things."Thank you, Daddy." Pearl smiled slightly, then threw her sight back to the outside window. John prepared for his driving. He glimpsed at her and felt guilt built inside him. He must take careful words, too."Did you sleep well last night, sweetheart?" John asked with a soothing tone. Pearl put down her head and then shook it."I can't sleep last night, Dad." John nodded understandingly."I'm sorry, Dear. I'm not a good father for you." Pearl glanced at John. She stared at him quietly."I'm so hurt if you are not happy with your life. It's just that it took me so much time to think about it." John was trying to speak from his heart. He clutched his heart to do the match-making wedding to his daughter. Even Pearl was not his own."Why did you do this, Dad? I don't want to get married now." Pearl's voi
Pearl couldn't concentrate once she sat on her chair. Her pre-design should have been submitted before this noon, yet she did nothing but stare at the computer screen on her table. The manager has assigned Pearl to submit her pre-design starting today. She would learn and practice directly in her field."Pearl, what are you doing? Why are you staring at the screen?" a colleague jolted Pearl, who had drifted off to something other than work. Pearl smiled awkwardly and then shook her head."You'd better work now. If the managers see you like this, they will fire you soon, " the colleague said more harshly to Pearl. Pearl sighed, not wanting to respond. Suddenly, the manager came to the intern room to announce something."I want all of you to gather at the convention hall in the north building. It's CEO calls. Come on!" The manager quickly sent all the interns to the hall and asked Pearl to get out. Pearl didn't want to protest or say anything, so she walked along with other staff to the
First, Damian researches Pearl. Once he has identified the right target to stop Taggart from taking his crown as an Alpha, Damian begins his mission. Now, he needs to win Pearl's heart successfully. Nevertheless, Damian asks someone to come to his office. He will not give up at all.Damian asked one of his friends, "I want you to devise a proper plan to get Pearl Rosenthal's attention. I want her to see me have much better value than Taggart Kellent." The friend's name is Alonzo Perez. Alonzo has a mixture of fairy clans that came from his mother."Why do you have to take an ordinary girl like her? Pearl Rosenthal was not a popular girl in school." Alonzo shrugged his shoulders and responded calmly. His lack of enthusiasm stemmed from his expectation of a formidable challenge. Who would have thought that Damian meant a girl like Pearl Rosenthal?"Do you know her, don't you?" Damian inquired, looking sharply at Alonzo. Alonzo just shrugged his shoulders nonchalan
Everest gasped in surprise at hearing Taggart's confession. Taggart is a hybrid. It implies that Taggart still harbours the urge to consume blood, much like a vampire, due to half the vampire clan within his body. However, as a hybrid, Taggart can stay strong like a werewolf even though he doesn't drink blood regularly. He consumed the blood only for his additional nutrition to heal wounds or, in some cases, for fun.Therefore, when Taggart finds his mate, he will imprint her by sucking her blood. What happened before was that Taggart attacked Pearl by biting her neck. Simultaneously, Taggart also could erase the memory traces of what he did to his mate. Without Pearl's recall, she wouldn't remember what happened because Taggart had erased her memory."Are you addicted to her? You mean, now you want to taste her blood again?" Everest asked, still with the same disbelieving expression. Taggart nodded without taking his eyes off Everest. He was indeed about his feelings.
Doctor Billy Anderson came early to examine Pearl in her room the next day. He even came before John Rosenthal. Pearl had just woken up and smiled at Billy."How are you?" Billy kindly greets Pearl. Pearl nodded, still smiling."I’m fine, doctor. My sleepiness has disappeared. Much better." Billy smiled and nodded."If you feel better, then I can discharge you today. I think there's nothing to worry about." He added calmly. Pearl was still stunned momentarily, then shifted slightly to get closer."Do I have a serious illness? What happened to me, doctor?" Pearl expressed her curiosity. Billy was stunned, looking at Pearl. He also had many questions about her. He turned his face toward the door. John hasn't arrived yet. Perhaps Billy will use this opportunity to ask her a serious question.Billy brought his face closer, then tilted right and left alternately. Pearl frowned at Billy's strange actions, so she waited."Doctor?" Pearl then
Taggart Kellent finally releases Pearl. The chief medical officer even apologizes to Taggart because Dr. Billy Anderson had spoken harshly. Meanwhile, Pearl cannot talk because John has her not to. Although John doesn't enjoy seeing Taggart's attitude, he doesn't want Taggart to hurt Pearl."Once again, I apologize, Mr. Kellent. Please don't prolong this problem," said the Chief of Medicine, asking for Taggart's understanding. Pearl's brow furrowed. Taggart is so haughty and arrogant. Even though he is younger, his power exceeds everything. He can make the chief of medicine bowed like a loser to him."I will admit my fiancé to a more private and better hospital than this flawed place," Taggart replied, showing his arrogance."I understand if you are disappointed, but we have provided the best assistance for Miss Rosenthal. We will continue to try not to disappoint her and you." The chief of medicine looks disappointed to be begging like that. Despite bein
After several attempts to call him, Doctor Louis Durrant got John Rosenthal’s address, but it didn’t work well. He came on dinner time alone. As he walked through the front yard, he was thinking of something. He sighed when he took his best shot today. Hopefully, there’s something he would achieve.After the front bell rang, the door opened in seconds. An average woman opened the door and saw someone she barely knew. She winched her eyes to him. Doctor Louis gave out his friendly smile before speaking.“I’m looking for John Rosenthal. My name is Louis Durrant.” He introduced himself.Sandra still frowned with her suspicious stare at Louis. She recalled all of her husband’s friends. Yet she didn’t put on her smile.“Who are you? You are not my husband’s friend.” She put her right hand on the hip. Louis lightly chuckled and nodded.“I’m a doctor at St. Elizabeth. I need to speak to your husband. Is he home?”Sandra was slightly startled, though she still expressed her dislike flatly. Lo
Damian was overjoyed to hear from Simon that Bruce had changed his mind about Taggart's wedding. He had the phone call and then chuckled lightly.“That’s excellent news. It's not because of that if I got eager. I mean, for his sake, Uncle Sim.” Damian could cope and blurted his laugh. He nodded excitedly.“I understand you mean well towards your brother.”“Of course.” Damian grinned to hear the praise coming from his act.“The wedding is so important for our pack, and I cannot let someone from the lowest rank take the place,” Simon added to his arrogance. Damian kept the man ranting about purging Pearl from Taggart. Once the rumour finds the right place, Damian can eliminate Taggart. He didn’t have to steal Pearl’s heart. Eventually, Taggart would never be an Alpha once he had no mate.“I believe so.”“When Taggart couldn’t marry the girl, you could help him find the better one.” Damian kept his grin.“Yes, Uncle Sim. I’ll let you know about it.”Damian ended the call and then laughed
Taggart was pissed now as he heard that his father. All of a sudden, Bruce postponed Taggart’s wedding. He vigorously walked to Bruce’s office to see him.“Dad!” As always, Taggart mentioned his dad when he saw him working in his room.“Have a seat, Tagg,”“No need. What are you doing canceling my wedding!” He talked fiercely while walking closer to the desk. Bruce stayed calm. He didn’t want to provoke Taggart.“Have a seat. I have the explanation,” Bruce told him once more. He stressed the word that made Taggart finally pull a chair and sit in front of him. He kept the tense.“What is the reason? You told me that I should have my wedding soon,” Taggart said impatiently to confront.“That’s before I know the risk. I need to talk to you to reconsider about it.” Bruce quickly confirmed. Taggart showed his deep frown. He tilted his head, looking at his father sharply.“What do you mean?”Bruce took a deep sigh. He put his seriousness and sharp gazed at Taggart. He couldn’t take it, but
Today, Pearl's department has a new manager to come. He was a handsome man with a warm smile upon everyone."Hi, everyone. I am Luke Damant. I am happy to see you are all here to support the design department. I hope we can stay as a strong team in the future," said Luke, introducing himself as a new manager. Like everyone else, Pearl clapped and smiled at him. Luke looked charismatic and appealing. His appearance has impressed the women's staff, including interns. They looked interested in him."I would like to see the interns first. Would you all come with me to my office?" Luke smiled at all the staff without seeing Pearl. He walked to his office in the side room and opened the door widely to the interns who followed. Pearl was the last one who came in."Thank you for all your attention towards the work recently. I am confident you will have a successful time during your internship program. Starting today, I will be your supervisor and your boss. Any question
Simon Rousey had his breakfast meeting with Bruce Kellent for his business. He wanted to discuss Taggart's mate's choice more. The business deal had gone well before; now, it's time for him to discuss personal matters."Bruce, I heard some elders talk about your next future in law. Taggart has found his mate. Thus, he is ready for the initiation," Simon said after taking a sip of tea. Bruce smiled and then glanced back at Simon."He's ready to lead the pack, Simon," Bruce added with pride towards his son. Simon also smiled without nodding."Have you seen the lady?" Bruce nodded with his pursed lips. He still looked confident."I heard that she's only a girl, with no wolf soul or blood of a royal. That's what they say. Is that true?"Bruce's smile had faded, and he started to look tense. Without making a justification, Bruce straightened his back, staring at Simon thoughtfully."That's why he has to turn her into one of our kind, Simon. The wedding will be during the mating season in t
Boringly, Pearl laid down on the empty, lavish, comfortable king-size bed. She stared blankly on one side while gently twisting the edge of her pillow cover. She was not keen on running away again after her fight with Taggart. Until, in the middle of the night, the bedroom door squeaked and slowly opened. Pearl startled and then turned to widen her eyes. Taggart stepped in limping. He drank a lot since he couldn’t keep thinking about Pearl.Pearl sat on the bed watching Taggart, half-dragged his feet, and threw himself next to her. She was stunned and frozen, perplexed about the situation. Taggart then chuckled oddly. His behavior was both humorous and perplexing.“Hey, lady. Ah, why are you so grumpy with me?” Taggart whimpered while touching Pearl’s cheek with his fingers. His hand then only lay on the bed because he was too drunk even to lift it.“What happened to you?” Pearl gently asked. Her soothing voice made him comfortable. He smiled and then glanced with his eyes half-opened
“Our Taggart has royal blood in him. he shouldn’t marry someone with mud blood, right Uncle? What will the vampire clan say about the wedding when they discover it?” Damian was slowly releasing his dangerous provocation against Taggart. He manipulates Simon to reclaim his support for Taggart’s mate and initiation. Simultaneously, Simon was thoughtfully considered about Damian’s words.“I’m not ranting, Uncle. I don’t want you to misunderstand me. You know so well, right?” Damian added to show his willingness. Simon smiled and then nodded.“I know. You are such a favorable young wolf full of potential, Damian. Your admission about it made me think something. Taggart might make a mistake, but he should explain it. I mean, he found a mate after all this time. He faced a hard time, especially after we lost the queen, his mom. Taggart should find a mate to support him.” Simon's long explanation had brought a smile to Damian. He nodded agreeably. “I agree with you. Therefore, he must find
The entire way home, Pearl wept silently but suppressed any sobs or squeaks from her tears. Meanwhile, Taggart began to soften as a result of her sobbing.“Stop crying,” he murmured.Taggart wanted to stop the car and persuade Pearl to stop crying, but he hesitated. Watching a girl cry due to her forced departure was a strange experience for him.“Do you love that family? You’d better not respect them.” Taggart sounded annoyed when he talked about Rosenthal. Pearl sulkily turned to Taggart. She was not pleased with the way Taggart had treated her family. It was so rude and heartless."What do you mean? I love my family. But you took me away from them.” Pearl shook her soft voice against Taggart, who was still driving. Taggart turned to the right and snorted sarcastically. He shook his head slightly, feeling an irritate coming on. Pearl made him think harder than he would for any other girl."If you knew the truth, you would regret it." Taggart cursed a little in annoyance. His voice w
John did not presently welcome Taggart, who had arrived. He frowned when he saw Pearl's future husband looking at him cynically.“Good evening, Mr. Taggart,” John said hello and tried to be friendly. Taggart smirked, not intending to reciprocate. He was not going to be pleasant. Ever since he learned about Pearl, he has harbored a deep-seated anger toward his next father-in-law. John was making up stories to fib about."Where's Pearl?" Taggart inquired coldly. It doesn't seem friendly, but Taggart is like that.“What are you looking for her? It is late." Taggart chuckled, still in his sarcasm."Seriously?" he asked, seeming to mock them up. Keith glared disapprovingly. He stepped forward to lunge at Taggart. John quickly grabbed his shoulders. In the meantime, Taggart was still casually looking at Keith and John without moving. He didn't care if he had to break in with violence.“Please don't intrude Pearl. She is resting.&r
