Roxanne knew that Annette hated talking about her family.Annette would rather let people consider her a rogue than mention her family background.Roxanne never expected Annette to have such a family background."I am Alpha Lance's illegitimate daughter. My mother is a human. She was not Alpha Lance's mate, so she was considered a home wrecker and was despised by the Black Thorn Pack. I hate Alpha Lance and the Black Thorn Pack because they made my mother kill herself .""Ann." Roxanne held Annette's hand.Annette smiled bitterly. "I witnessed my mother's life, so I don't believe in the so-called mate. I mustered up my courage to accept Kyle. But, in the end, all I got was his betrayal, and the oath became a lie. Now, as for what Connor said to me, Kyle had also said it once."Roxanne said angrily, "Damned Kyle!"She walked to Annette and sat down.She put on a serious face, which was rare. "Annette, men aren't the same. Do you intend to reject your mate just because of Kyle? He's not
Annette sighed. She continued, "As long as I showed up, Alpha Lance and Luna would quarrel. I don't want to admit that I am a member of the Black Thorn Pack, and Alpha Lance never asked me to go back. Otherwise, I would not be a rogue."I hate the Black Thorn Pack not only because I am Alpha Lance's illegitimate daughter, but also because he and his Luna hurt my mother. My mother was not Alpha Lance's mate. He tempted her. She was blinded by love and made the wrong choice."In fact, she could have abandoned me and started a new life, but she didn't. For the rest of her life, she was in a quandary because of me and the Black Thorn Pack. In the end..."After a moment of silence, Annette smiled bitterly. "My mother killed herself."She looked at Marcus, trying hard to suppress her emotions.She pursed her lips and said, "Marcus, I am afraid of thunderstorms at night. Do you know why? One night, I got up to the bathroom and I saw my mother...""Enough!" Connor stood up and pulled Annette
After the holiday, Annette returned to Werewolf University to work. Unexpectedly, Marcus got her in trouble.Annette was busy in the office when the door was suddenly pushed open.Kyle came in with a cold face.The others were surprised. Why was Kyle here?Kyle turned to look at Annette. He said coldly, "Annette, come with me."Annette put down her pen and followed him out of the office. She asked, "Kyle, what's the matter?""Come with me to the police station.""Police station?" Annette was puzzled."Your students had a conflict with senior students. Someone even shifted and bit the others. The senior students called the police, and your students were all brought to the police station." Kyle sneered.Annette was shocked. "Wait a moment. Let me grab my bag."She ran quickly back to the office, took her bag, and left the school with Kyle.Just as she arrived at the police station, she saw Marcus at a glance, who was sitting on a stool and talking to the police.Four boys in basketball
Marcus' words surprised Annette.Didn't he tell her to stay away from Connor?"I heard that Kyle set up a scoring system to target you. Tell Connor about it, and Connor will deal with him.""I won't tell Connor about what happened to you today. And you don't tell him what Kyle has done to me." Annette's expression was a little serious.Marcus said unhappily, "You still have feelings for Kyle?""No. Not at all. I just don't want to waste time and energy on someone who has nothing to do with me."Marcus thought for a moment and said, "Fair enough. Let's keep each other's secrets in front of Connor."Annette smiled and nodded.She walked to the roadside and hailed a taxi.Marcus was still standing at the roadside. Annette got into the car and asked him, "Don't you want to get in?"Marcus held the car door and hesitated for a moment. "Luna, I'm sorry for what I did a few days ago. I won't do that again."Annette was stunned for a moment. Before she could say anything, Marcus closed the ca
In the dark, the man hissed in pain.He wrapped his other arm around Annette's waist.Annette was frightened. She shouted desperately, "Let go of me!"She almost shifted and attacked the person.The man said, "Don't scream. It's me."Hearing the familiar voice, Annette quickly stopped."Connor?"Since she stopped struggling, Connor let go.Annette turned on the light.She was shocked to see Connor.Connor pressed his left shoulder with his right hand and said, "You are so ruthless."Annette rushed forward and asked worriedly, "Are you OK?""What do you think?" Connor looked down at the dumbbell on the ground and said, "You hit me with such a heavy thing. My shoulder must be broken."Annette helped him up and panicked. She said, "I'll take you to the hospital."Connor pulled her into his arms.She struggled and said, "Not now, let's go to the hospital first.""I'm not going to the hospital," Connor said. He smelled like alcohol.Annette frowned and said, "Didn't you say you gave me all
Connor stayed at Annette's house and didn't leave. The next morning, when the alarm clock rang, Annette reached out her hand and turned it off.She got up and went to the living room. The sound of rustling water kept coming from the bathroom.Then, the door of the bathroom opened.Connor was wrapped in Annette's bath towel with a mickey mouse pattern on it.As he dried his hair, he looked at her and asked, "You are up."Annette shifted her gaze away from his six-pack abs.As her gaze moved up, she saw a large bruise on Connor's shoulder.She frowned and said, "Your shoulder is bruised. I wonder which part of your sentence is true and which part is false?"Connor was calm. "Everything I said to you is true. I am indeed injured, but it is not so serious."He pointed to the kitchen and asked, "What's for breakfast?"Annette snorted. "Nothing!"She turned around and entered the kitchen with a sullen face.During breakfast, Annette thought of something. "What do you think of Jessica?""Jes
Annette spoke bluntly, which made Fiona a little embarrassed.Fiona said unhappily, "I heard that you went to provoke Kyle again today. We had an agreement that you would stay away from Kyle after I let you teach at the university. Don't you remember it?"Annette sneered. Fiona was framing her deliberately.She called Connor over and said so in front of Connor. She wanted Connor to think that Annette was not a good mate.Normally, Annette may endure it.However, she thought of what Fiona had done to her in the past and knew that Connor would not let her suffer. So, she decided not to put up with it anymore.She looked at Fiona calmly and smiled, "Fiona, I think you haven't heard everything. Since you try to judge me from people's gossip, then you should at least keep an open mind. There are surveillance cameras in the cafeteria. You can go and check the footage. Then, you'll see what really happened. Also, Kyle may be outstanding in your eyes. But, let me remind you again. I don't see
Annette returned to her apartment while chatting pleasantly with Connor.The next day, Connor left Akron for New York for a business trip.He didn't come back for three days, and Annette felt lonely.The loneliness came from the depths of her soul.In fact, that was something she feared the most.Annette dared not to accept Connor for a reason. She was afraid that one day after she got used to having him around if he hurt her, she wouldn't survive the trauma.She was afraid that the pain would kill her.She turned on her phone and read the headlines of entertainment news these days.None of them had clarified their relationship.The rumors about Connor and Daphne were heating up.Daphne was advertising her latest drama. When she was interviewed, the reporters asked about her and Connor, yet she only smiled and did not answer.Her attitude stirred media curiosity.In their press release, almost all of them used the same sentence. "Connor and Daphne tacitly admit their relationship."An
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
