When she returned to Werewolf University in the afternoon, Annette called Marcus and told him about Connor's condition.She thought that Marcus would think for a while, but he agreed instantly.She was surprised. Wasn't Marcus unwilling to study at Princeton?Why did he agree so quickly?She shook her head and let it go.In the evening, Annette left Werewolf University and took a bus home.Upon arriving at the apartment building, she saw two men in black walking toward her.She stood still and looked at the familiar car behind them. She was somewhat agitated.One of them stepped forward and said, "Ms. Fisher, Alpha Lance asks you to go home for a chat."Even if Annette refused, she would be dragged into the car anyway.Annette simply followed them into the car with a calm face.After being taken to the Black Thorn Pack, she got out of the car and walked in.Leslie and Austin were not there.In the living room, only Lance and a young man were sitting on the sofa, chatting.As Lance saw
When Austin opened the door, he saw Damon about to help Annette up.He walked forward with a cold face and asked, "What happened?"Jessica pointed at Annette and said, "Austin, let her be. That bitch is nothing but ungrateful. Alpha Lance just introduced the Beta's son in Wintering Pack to Annette, but she embarrassed Damon in every way."Austin glanced at Lance. He walked to Annette and helped her up.Austin looked at Damon and said, "Mr. Goodman, I apologize on behalf of her. Annette is not suitable for you. Please go back.""Austin." Lance sat in the wheelchair and patted the handle.Damon saw this and said to Lance, "Alpha Lance, I think it is indeed not a good time. Ms. Hall was suddenly introduced to a stranger and she might feel offended. I will go back now. Please excuse me."He left after saying so.As soon as he left, Lance raised his hand and pointed at Annette, "Annette, are you trying to piss me off?""In fact, I do. But I didn't provoke you in the first place. You were t
"Ann, don't tell me that you have feelings for him?" Austin asked."Why not?" Annette looked up at him and asked, "Why? Just because I am a rogue, a hybrid, and the Black Thorn Pack and the Blood Moon Pack are enemies? But I don't even know why they are enemies. What does this have to do with me? I am not a member of the Black Thorn Pack, so the hatred between the two packs has nothing to do with me.""He knows that you are a member of the Black Thorn Pack. He must have an agenda when approaching you. And why would I lie about it? Annette, even if everyone in the world wants to hurt you, I will never be one of them. Do you understand?"Annette fell silent at his words.She knew that Austin meant no harm to her.But what else could she do?She refused Connor more than once.She had been trying to keep a distance from him.Connor was a good man. Was she going to hurt him because of the Black Thorn Pack?Why would she hurt someone who cared about her?Annette bit her lip and said, "Austi
Annette looked at Connor curiously. She thought that Connor would tell her what happened between the two packs.However, Connor simply rubbed her head and said, "You don't have to know. In my eyes, you are not a member of the Black Thorn Pack."Annette felt warm in her heart. Indeed, Connor never saw her as one of them.Therefore, how could he get close to her for any other reason?She didn't carry that kind of value to him.He simply wanted to be nice to her.However, she wouldn't love him.But she could be his friend. Even if he wanted more than that, she would only see him as a friend."Why are you looking at me like that?" Connor stared at Annette."Connor, if you need anything from me one day, I will definitely help you," Annette said.Connor smiled and said, "If it is something I can't even deal with, I won't put you through it either.""Don't underestimate me. I will keep my promise, and let's just wait and see," Annette said."Then I need your help right now. Will you do me a
It was Saturday the next day. Annette thought that Connor would come to her place for dinner.Annette waited until seven o'clock in the evening, but he still did not show up or make a call.Annette stood in the small kitchen and muttered, "You were the one who said that we would have dinner together on the weekend. If you're not coming, why can't you just tell me? What a joke I am!"She muttered again, "Is he so busy that he can't come? Wasn't he busy last night? Well, it must be so. Don't overthink it. Well, he is always busy, but he still has time to piss me off, right?"Thinking of the day before yesterday when Connor blamed her for not calling him, she hesitated. She got up and went to the sofa to pick up her phone.She called Marcus.As soon as the call was connected, Marcus said, "Annette, I guess we can read each other's minds. I was about to call you.""Really? Why?""Connor is sick. Don't you think you should come and check on him?" Marcus said.Annette got worried instantly.
"I wasn't feeling well. Yet I got better soon," Connor smiled and said. "Have you forgotten that we werewolves are great at healing?"Annette thought, 'Annette, you are so stupid!Because of the human blood in my body, my self-healing ability isn't as good as those pure-blood werewolves, not to mention Connor, who is an Alpha.Even if he was feeling unwell, there were doctors from the Blood Moon Pack taking care of him.'Seeing how angry Annette was, Connor was amused.He put his arm around her waist and said, "But I'm genuinely glad that you came."Instead of feeling comforted by his words, Annette felt a deep sense of defeat.She thought, 'Am I really stupid?'Time passed quickly. After Annette's training, her job at the university would soon begin.She had been very busy.Connor didn't even have a chance to eat the food made by Annette.Connor gave Annette a ride to Werewolf University. Just as Annette was about to get out of the car, he asked, "Is this job that important to you?"
"Are you really not afraid of Kyle targeting you?""I want to see how mean he can be. The more ruthless he is, the easier I can forget everything in the past, so no, I am not afraid," Annette said.Roxanne sighed. "That's true. If you were to quit as per others' suggestion at this time, then you wouldn't be Annette. I know that you are the perfect illustration of stubbornness.""Roxanne, anyway, don't worry about me. I'm fine. Actually, I'm not afraid of Kyle at all. I just dislike making simple things complicated. Now that he's here, I guess I just have to deal with whatever comes my way.""Alright then. If it's too much for you one day, remember, I'm always here for you," Roxanne said.Annette pursed her lips and smiled, "I know. Thank you."Just as Annette finished speaking, a figure flashed behind her. Someone put the tray on the table opposite her.She looked up and saw Marcus.She said to Roxanne, "Alright then, Roxanne, talk to you later. Bye."After hanging up the phone, she l
Annette returned home. When she was about to close the door, Connor showed up.She was a little angry and said, "It suddenly occurred to me that today is not the weekend, so I don't need to cook for you."Yet she was no match for him in terms of strength at all.He squeezed in easily and closed the door.Annette took a few steps back and said without much confidence, "I already said that today is not the weekend.""I am here to eat. Also, as Marcus' big brother, I'd like to know how he was doing at university today," Connor said calmly.Annette gritted her teeth and said, "He had lunch with me at noon, saying that you asked him to keep an eye on me. He saw me already. Are you expecting me to believe that he hasn't reported to you yet?""He will only report to me when there is something important. By the way, wasn't there anything interesting at school today?" Connor suddenly asked.Annette thought for a while and said, "You know what? There was one thing.""Tell me about it," Connor s
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
