"Annette? Why are you here?" Roxanne looked surprised when Annette showed up in the study room."Why?" Annette asked, puzzled."I saw Kyle heading to the dorm with a girl. Wasn't that you?" Roxanne said.Annette was a college student at a werewolf university. She was lucky and met her mate Kyle here.Kyle was Alpha's son, from the Crystal Pack. Luna Fiona, his mother, was the president of the university.Annette and Kyle were an enviable couple at the werewolf university after they realized that they were mates.Annette wondered why Roxanne asked. Then she felt a sharp pain in her heart, which spread rapidly through her body.She pressed her chest and fell prone on the table."Annette, are you OK?" Roxanne sounded worried."I don't know. I felt a sudden pain in my heart and my body," Annette said, her face pale.Roxanne said, "There are only two explanations, well, quotes from the teachers. First, your mate is dying.""Dying?" A line etched between Annette's brows. "I don't think so.
Annette looked at the handsome man in front of her. She couldn't believe her eyes.She knew him, the man she had a one-night stand with.His name was Connor Norman, the Alpha of Blood Moon Pack, the largest pack in Akron.Connor was not just the Alpha of a pack. He was also the president of a listed company with great power and enviable wealth.In other words, he was not someone to be trifled with.Annette looked at Connor and said with a shivering voice, "Alpha Connor.""Take a shower first. We'll talk later." Connor picked up a bath towel and wrapped it around his body."There's nothing to talk about. I've got to go now," Annette said."Your name is Annette, right?" Connor said. "Don't you want to talk about last night?""Alpha Connor, I was drunk. Let's pretend nothing happened," Annette said in a calm tone.Connor was surprised.He looked at Annette. "Well, is there anything I can do for you?"Annette got his point and was slightly embarrassed."As far as I know, you are a Rogue a
Annette had a shift in the convenience store today. Though her mate had cheated on her, she still had to carry on with her life.After all, she was a Rogue and she needed the money since she wouldn't get support from any packs.When Annette reached the gate, a car stopped in front of her and it looked familiar.The doors opened, and two people got out of the car.It was Kyle and Lena.Annette halted her steps.She was going to turn around to avoid them, but Lena called her."Annette."Lena ran toward Annette from under the umbrella. She clasped Annette's hands."Annette, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault. I'm such an awful person. I'll do anything, as long as you forgive me."Kyle dashed over and held the umbrella for Annette and Lena.Kyle looked at Annette with guilt on his face. "Annette, I don't know what got into me yesterday. I..."Annette looked at them standing in front of her. Her heart ached again, but this time, it was not as painful.She thought that such plots should only e
Annette asked Lena to move to another dorm. Her cold attitude made Lena angry."Why?" Lena stood up, looked at Annette, and said angrily, "Annette, Kyle sleeps with me, because he loves me. Do you still believe in what the teacher says about mates? We are not ancient werewolves. We aren't ancient beasts anymore, OK? You are making Kyle your slave, just because he is your mate. Kyle is a free man and compared with you, I'm more suited for him."Annette closed the book. She stood up to look at Lena with a cold and distant gaze.Annette said, "If ignoring the connection between mates and having an affair is what he wants, then you are right. I'm not the right person for him. Because I don't sleep around like him. Also, I said that I would reject him. So, only one of us can stay in this dorm.""Is that so? Then you should move out. I won't," Lena raised her head and said complacently.Annette smiled coldly, "Fine. You'd better not regret it.""So? Do you want to challenge me? Don't forget
"Connor, this young lady is..."The female werewolf asked politely, though she seemed surprised to see Annette.Connor smiled and said, "This is Annette, my brother's tutor.""Nice to meet you, Annette. I'm Alina Grace."Annette shook hands with Alina and said, "Hello, Ms. Grace."Connor sat down and said, "Please, be seated."Annette took a seat next to him.Alina tore her eyes away from Annette and looked at Connor. She said gently, "I was worried that I would disturb your work by asking you out for lunch.""No. I brought Annette together with me. You don't mind, right? After all, she and I had an appointment first."Alina shook her head and smiled, "Not at all. I'm glad to see her. I've already ordered the dishes you like. I don't know what Annette prefers. I'll get someone to bring you the menu."Annette waved her hand. "It's OK, Ms. Grace."Connor stroked Annette's head gently. He gazed at her softly and said, "We love the same food."Alina's smile froze.However, she smiled agai
Annette's face lit up with joy. She immediately ran towards him. Then she opened her arms and hugged him."Austin, when did you return to Akron?" Annette looked at Austin and asked."Alpha Lance was injured, so I came back early," Austin let go of Annette and replied with a smile.Annette did not notice a car parked by the side of the road. Connor was sitting in the car. He saw Annette and Austin holding each other through the window and frowned.To his surprise, Annette was friends with Austin Fisher, the son of Lance Fisher, Black Thorn Pack's Alpha.Also, it seemed that Annette and Austin were very close.Annette heard Austin's words, and she looked a little embarrassed."Ann, come back with me to Black Thorn Pack and visit Alpha Lance," Austin persuaded Annette."Austin, I am not a member there. I cannot step into the border of the pack without permission," Annette said coldly."I can bring you in!" Austin immediately said."No need, Austin. I know my identity," Annette refused Au
Annette said angrily, "I don't know you well enough to share secrets, so stop meddling in my business. And you promised me you'd keep it a secret.""Of course. I have never mentioned it to others. You are the person involved, aren't you?""Then what do you mean by bringing this up all the time?" Annette said, trying to hold back her anger."I'm just rebutting what you said based on what you said. You are not the only outsider living under this roof. It is not against the law. You are no different from my other employees. I will provide you with food and accommodation. It's as simple as that."After Connor finished speaking, his housekeeper walked in.Connor looked at Annette and said, "You can start working now."Annette looked at Connor's back as he left. She felt that she should be angry, but she was not.In fact, she had planned to move out of the dorm. Now that she had a temporary place to stay, she could take her time looking for suitable accommodation.Annette collected her thou
Connor glared at the driver through the rearview mirror. The driver immediately shifted his gaze away and focused on driving."What happened?"Annette and Connor sat in the back of the car. After nearly five minutes of silence, Connor finally opened his mouth."Nothing. It's just that... I find it funny watching people in fancy cars get stuck in traffic. It turns out that money can't do everything.""She is lying," Leo said to Connor.Connor felt a little dissatisfied. He asked, "Then why were you crying?""Because I'm poor. I'm not even qualified to sit in my car and complain about the traffic, since I don't have a car."Connor glanced at Annette. He knew that she was lying again. He remembered that though Annette had a driver's license, she didn't know how to drive.Connor said to the driver, "Leonard, stop the car."Leonard hurriedly pulled over."Leonard, you're off duty."Leonard looked back. He was a little worried.Before Leonard could say anything, Connor's gaze turned cold. "
Annette snorted coldly. She immediately said, "Then have you ever thought that her confession to others was her business and had nothing to do with us? Why should we take the blame for her confession to others? This morning, when I came to school, I found that there were people on the forum who slandered me for no reason. I'm so innocent. Won't I feel wronged when I face so many people's slander? Vincent, I won't hurt any students. I didn't do this. If you insist that I did it, just like Sara said, please show me the evidence. Otherwise, go away."Vincent was claiming the moral high ground to seek justice for his student.Now that he could not get it, he was reluctant to let go of the issue.They stood on both sides of the dining table, their eyes full of anger.Annette's phone rang. She bent over and took out her phone from her bag to pick it up.Marcus' voice came from the other side of the line. "Annette, where are you?""What do you want?""Can't I call you if there's nothing?""F
The next day, after breakfast, the doctor came to check on Connor again. Annette went to work after she made sure that he was OK.However, she didn't go to work for two days and had no idea that there was big news at the university.The matter of Matilda pursuing Connor was exposed by someone.This weekend, people made fun of Matilda, the cutest girl on campus. Annette was the last person to hear about the news, but people thought she was the one who posted this issue on the forum.In the office, Annette was sitting in front of her desk. She checked the posts on the forum and had mixed feelings.There should be evidence if they were so sure that she did it.But people simply assumed that Annette was the one who did it.The comment said, "The four student instructors are all suspicious. But Annette was the most suspicious one because she used to be the cutest girl on campus. She could definitely understand how Matilda felt at that time. That was why Annette felt jealous when she saw Ma
Annette took a deep breath. For the first time, she realized how difficult it was to deliver food for Connor.She walked to the door of the office. When Hari saw her, he quickly got up and said, "Ms. Hall, you are finally here. Mr. Norman has been waiting for you. Please come in."When Annette pushed open the door and entered Connor's office, Connor's face darkened."You really enjoy chatting with Zachary. I called you more than an hour ago and you just arrived. Aren't you afraid that I will be hungry?"Annette was not angry. She said, "It has nothing to do with Zachary. After you called, I ordered food for you and came out in less than ten minutes. But when I came to the gate of the company, I met the staff of the Training Department. I was taken to the Training Department and delayed for a while. Amanda sent me up.""I think you didn't dare to come up and went to the Training Department to ask Amanda for help.""Yeah, yeah. You're so smart. Come over and eat your lunch."Connor got
Annette felt that Zachary had made the right choice this time.So she did not say anything and just listened to him complaining.In the end, he said helplessly, "I also know that she might not give up so easily. After all, she has always said that she has gone through the most difficult times with me. How can such a person easily make her efforts in vain?""Then what are you going to do if she continues to pester you?" Annette asked.Zachary looked at her and smiled, "Since I have made such a decision, I have to pay the price. The worst outcome is I can't work here anymore. Well, I don't care how long she will keep pestering me."Annette frowned and said, "But you just came back.""I gave up a good job abroad for her. Then I'll give up my job here just to stay away from her. It's nothing. I won't mind if I have to start everything from scratch."Annette did not try to persuade him. After all, Zachary was a grown man. He had already thought it through. She had no right to interfere.Th
If they had gone out alone to eat and had been discovered by Jennifer, she would have been the one who was beaten up.But why would Jennifer call her in this situation?Jennifer said, "I'm upset. I went through the hardest time with Zachary. Now that he is successful, he doesn't want me anymore. I knew that men were all like this, but I still felt hurt. I felt that the love I had given him for all these years was not worth it. Ms. Hall, I can't just let go like this.""Jennifer, did you call me because you wanted me to do something for you?""I just wanted you to ask him why he treated me like this. What exactly did I do wrong? Why did he have to care about other women? If I were that bad in his eyes, why did he choose to be with me back then?" Jennifer said, heartbroken.Annette thought for a moment and said awkwardly, "Jennifer, this is your business. Actually, I'm in no position to interfere.""Ms. Hall, you don't like me, right? So when you heard that I broke up with Zachary, do y
Matilda didn't know that Connor was not looking at her, but at Annette behind her.He turned to the bodyguards and said, "Go and stop the students who are rushing out.""Yes."The bodyguards walked back to the basketball court.Connor walked up to Matilda, his face still cold and ruthless."I was chatting with the head of the school and recommended the campus belle casually. If you like me and want to be my mate simply because of that, I will be more than happy to call him and ask him to replace you."If you want to be my mate, because you are coveting the title of the Blood Moon Pack's Luna, then you'd better stop fantasizing. Let me make it clear to you. You're not good enough to be my woman.""That's not what I meant." Matilda shook her head and was about to cry. "You got me wrong. I like you because of who you are. I swear. I admire you so much."Connor sneered, "Do you know what kind of person I am?"Matilda took a deep breath. "You are handsome, gentle, kind, well-read, and a ma
They came to the middle of the basketball court.Melissa stepped forward and took the lead in picking up the microphone. "Alright, everyone, quiet down now. As we begin today's lesson, please put your phones on silent mode."She walked over to Connor and handed him the microphone. "Alpha Connor, you may begin."Connor nodded at her, and then she walked to the side with great excitement.Standing next to Alanna, she whispered excitedly, "Alpha Connor looked at me."Alanna was unhappy. "Why did you get to be the host?""Who else? Did you want to be the host? Your voice was shaking.""Either Annette or Sara could do it."Melissa immediately said, "If you have a problem with me, just say it."Sara hurriedly said, "Enough. It's not a big deal, so just stop arguing, alright? Otherwise, Alpha Connor might hear you."Then Alanna and Melissa glanced at each other and paid attention to the lecture.Connor said, "Hello, everyone. As usual, we won't be talking about theories today, since your pro
When they were back in the office, Melissa sighed, "Darren is putting us in a dilemma, isn't he? How are we supposed to fix this? No matter what we do, we will offend someone for sure."Alanna rolled her eyes at Melissa and said, "Then why did you say that back in his office?""None of you said anything. What could I do? At least one of us should say something after he finished, right? Otherwise, he would fire us."Alanna said helplessly, "But what should we do now? I don't want to be fired."Hearing Alanna's words, Sara looked at Annette.Sara asked, "Annette, do you have any ideas?"Those in the office looked at Annette.Annette thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I've got something."Alanna moved closer to her. "Annette, tell us. What is it?"Annette said, "The multimedia classroom is small and crowded, right? But there's plenty of room on the basketball court."As soon as she finished speaking, Alanna and Melissa looked at her with disapproving looks.Melissa said, "That's impos
"Annette, you dare to bargain with me now?"Seeing that Connor was about to press down, Annette wanted to get up and run away.Connor had already grabbed her legs, holding her underneath.Annette was anxious. She said, "Connor, you are breaking your word.""We have a saying in the business field. All is fair in war. Countless facts have proved that promises made too easily are often unreliable. Remember it, OK? I'm teaching you stuff. As for tuition..."After he finished speaking, he pecked her lips. "A kiss will do."Seeing that he was going to take advantage of her again, Annette shouted anxiously, "I didn't ask you to teach me anything! You know what? Don't push too far! I'm still mad. I have accounts to settle with you.""Yeah? I'm all ears. Since when did I offend you?""Get off me first, and then we'll talk.""Nice try. I've seen similar tricks so many times that I stop taking them seriously after I reach ten. Now tell me."Annette was furious and thought, 'He is so good at humi
