Celia POV The next day. I was eating the lunch Jazlene had made for me herself when I got a call from Carolyn. "Celia!" I didn't have Carolyn's number, but I heard Carolyn's voice and asked, "How did you get my number?" "I asked Uncle Leon for your number!" I wondered even more. "How did he get my number?" "I... He's your mate! Is it weird that he has your number?" "That's right..." "Celia, what are you doing? Come out and have a drink with me!" I frowned. "You're drinking in the middle of the day?" Carolyn's tone took on a slightly indulgent drunkenness. "I'm a hurt woman right now, and I need to vent! Celia, come here! I'm no fun on my own!" I'd just hung up when I received the address of the bar from Carolyn's text message. After explaining it to Jazlene, I headed out the door. ... Twilight Bar. The bar was noisy, and I saw Carolyn in the flashing brilliant lights. Overnight, Carolyn had dyed her hair pink and was bouncing on the dance floor. "Celia! You're here! L
Celia POV Inside the room. It was actually a flat floor and full of floor to ceiling windows, very spacious. The lights were dimmed, and the music was a live band. People were well-dressed, in groups, drinking and laughing. I looked for Carolyn in the crowd. Suddenly, a woman darted towards me, "Celia-" I frown, checking Carolyn from top to bottom. "What's wrong? Are you hurt?" Carolyn turned her head uneasily and pointed behind her. "They're bullying me!" I raised my eyes to the group of men over there. One of the men said, "Come on! You're the one who agreed to play with us, so how can you say we're bullying you?" With a stern face, I asked Carolyn, "What did you do?" Carolyn whispered, "I approached the three of them to inquire about where Uncle Leon was. However, they insisted that I play dice with them. And then I lost. They made me either drink all ten bottles of wine or kiss them..." I looked up at the men. "Playing dice, huh? I'll play with you guys!" The man sta
Celia POV I frowned and got into the car. Carolyn was about to follow suit but was stopped by Calvin. "Ms. Carolyn, Alpha Leon asked me to send you home." The black car picked up speed and drove away. Inside the quiet car. Leon sits in a languid position, one hand resting on his forehead, his eyes stern. "You could have taken care of that group just now by giving me a call." I sulked. "Alpha Leon, I don't really have your number." "Give me your phone." I pulled out my cell phone and gave it to him. Leon saved his number into my phone and handed it back to me. "Remember, during these three months, even though we're not really mates, I'll give you anything. So you can call me next time anything comes up." Stunned, I inclined my head toward him and sneered, "Then why did you just kiss me?" Leon was calm. "I was doing you a favor." I rolled my eyes and turned my head to look out the car window at the street, humming sarcastically, "Alpha Leon, did you just have a private meet
Celia POV Emilie looked around and asked, "Cordell, Carolyn, where did Leon go?" Carolyn said, "It's too noisy here. He just went out to answer the phone." Emilie's eyes peered out the window, looking for Leon. I, on the other hand, sat back down indifferently and continued to eat my fried chicken. After a while, Leon still hadn't returned. Carolyn decided it was too hot in the store and suggested that we all go out. Everyone was about to leave when Emilie got up to put on her jacket, reached into her pocket, and said, "Where is my wristwatch?" Carolyn searched the table and looked under it. "It's not on the table or on the floor. Emilie, could it be that you didn't bring it out today at all?" Emilie shook her head firmly. "No! I'm pretty sure I brought it. I just took it off and put it in my jacket pocket. It would be fine if I lost something else, but that watch is very important to me! It was the last birthday present my grandfather gave me before he died!" I narrowed my
Celia POV "The house is full of old things, nothing valuable. You can tell me what you want when the time comes, and I'll have someone buy you new ones." I sighed, "I just want to hurry up and finish these three months. I don't want to get into too much trouble." Leon narrowed his eyes a little in displeasure. My cell phone collection suddenly arrived with a text message. I picked up my phone. It was from an unfamiliar number. "If you don't want your relationship with Alpha Leon to be exposed, come meet me at the Star Cafe tomorrow at 3pm!" The text message was a picture of me and Leon sitting opposite each other in a fried chicken restaurant. It was a sneak peek from the window of the fried chicken restaurant. I frowned. Who was it? The next day, at three in the afternoon, I arrived at the Star Cafe. It was a simple and elegant cafe that was quiet inside. There was only a man and woman in the store, and a man with glasses staring at a laptop that was busy. I picked a se
Celia POV I blinked. "Is it too late for me to agree to go with you?" Easton was surprised. He smiled as he replied, "Of course. Why did you suddenly change your mind though?" "It occurred to me that I have nothing to do back home, so why don't I go with you?" "Okay, let's go then." I followed Easton out of the café and into his car. Easton's car set off and soon arrived in front of a very artsy building. Easton casually handed the car keys to the valet to park the car, and then took me with him into his gallery. ... Inside the gallery. I looked at the yellow diamond necklace and was in a trance. "You don't seem to have much interest in any of those jewels, yet you're obsessed with this necklace from Crescent." Easton's gentle voice came from behind me. He continued, "I've had the honor of meeting Crescent." My pupils quivered, and I looked straight at Easton. "You've met Crescent? When?" Easton nodded. "I had the honor of meeting her once when I was little. My father a
Celia POV I went to the restroom and washed my face, then braced myself and headed out the door. "Alpha Leon, I'm fine. We can go now." Leon caught up with me and scooped me up in a cross body hug. I jumped in shock. "Alpha Leon, what are you doing?" "I'm taking you to the hospital." "I..." Leon looked at me with downcast eyes. "Be good. Until we dissolve our relationship, your health and I have a stake in it." I rolled my eyes and looked away from him. Easton arrived with a middle-aged man carrying a medicine cabinet. "Leon, my personal physician has arrived. Why don't you let him take a look at Celia first?" "No need to bother." Leon hugged me and stepped around Easton. Calvin blocked Easton. "Alpha Easton, my Luna's business is out of your hands. My Alpha has asked me to call our personal doctor. He's outside right now." ... Back at Black Mist's villa, the doctor quickly attended to me and prescribed some medication. The doctor said that my abdominal pain was caused
Celia POV Early the next morning. Leon stayed home for breakfast. At the dinner table, Jazlene offered to let Leon feed me. I refused, but Jazlene insisted. I thought Leon would never agree. But Leon just smiled, and then he actually cut the omelet on the plate into small pieces and fed it to my mouth. In front of Jazlene, I had to open my mouth and eat it, and keep smiling. Suddenly, my phone rang. I breathed a sigh of relief and rushed back to my room with my cell phone. It was the principal of Westwood University calling. He and I hadn't seen each other for a long time. The principal exchanged pleasantries with me before cutting to the chase. "Celia, next Monday is the graduation ceremony for your class. You, as the school's exceptional graduate, will be bringing your parents along for the graduation ceremony. We'd like both you and your parents to come up and give a speech and share your experience properly." I politely declined, "I'm sorry, Mr. Arden. I don't have any
Celia POVLeon sent Calvin to take Jazlene to the airport.Jazlene had been genuinely nice to me for a while, so I also went to the airport.After waving goodbye to Jazlene, I walked out of the airport.Calvin handed me a form in the car."Luna Celia, Alpha Leon knew you needed to find a job after college and instructed me to arrange a job for you."I raised an eyebrow unexpectedly and looked down at the form in my hand."So, what job are you going to arrange for me now?"Calvin started the car as he replied back, "Luna Celia, you fill out this form, and afterward, I'll have someone place you in the right job based on your intent."Of course, it was a good job, but I was not very interested.However, it occurred to me that it would be impossible for me to get out of Leon's control during this three-month cooperation period, so I might as well go along with his arrangement and do something for a while.After thinking about it, I put the form down casually."I don't want to fill out a f
Celia POVLeon looked at me with a sneer under his eyes."The world is a big place. There will be a man who will fall in love with you, though I won't understand him."I didn't know how to respond and said, "Thank you for being so concerned."I mumbled, dropping my eyes and breathing evenly, unable to hold on to sleep.I'd been sleepy since just now, and I'd been too tired....I woke up to find myself in the comfy king-sized bed of Black Mist pack's villa.It was still dark outside the window.How did I get back here?I scratched my head, but couldn't recall any memory related to my journey from the subway to Black Mist pack's villa.I didn't dwell on it too much, only thinking about the fact that I was still wearing my coat and had laid down to sleep without a shower. The whole thing was uncomfortable.I then got up and out of bed, confusedly grabbed a random change of clothes from the closet, and pushed the door into the bathroom...There was steam in the bathroom, the sound of run
Celia POVInside the subway station.Leon stood behind me while I bought my ticket, looking down at how I was doing it.I turned and walked away, not even looking at him.Leon frowned slightly as he stood in front of the machine and clicked on the prompts a few times.The person in line behind him got a little anxious and urged, "Hey! Are you going to buy it or not?"I was lazily leaning against the railing, looking at Leon, smiling while saying, "Alpha Leon, this is your first time in a subway station, right?"Leon's face was expressionless.I raised my eyebrows and smiled, "I got you a ticket. Let's go."With that, I tossed him a subway ticket.Leon raised his hand to catch it and narrowed his eyes slightly....I couldn't help but laugh out loud again as I slowly walked towards the waiting area with Leon in tow.Leon heard it and looked at me with cold eyes. "What are you laughing at?"I smiled, "Alpha Leon, I was wondering, if a rich person like you went bankrupt, would you not be
Celia POVPerla assumed it was a passerby. She was just about to curse, turned her head to look over, and was stunned.Perla blushed, and immediately lost her spunky brashness from earlier.She explained, "Sir, I'm sorry. She broke my antique violin and wanted to leave without paying for it.""Is that so?"Leon calmly lowered his eyes and swept a glance, before raising his hand to pick up the violin and smashed it fiercely against the wall.Only a loud bang was heard, and pieces fell all over the floor.Leon then threw the violin away as if it were trash.Perla came back to her senses and exclaimed in shock, "My violin!"Leon did not show any expression from the beginning to the end, but only ordered in a cold voice, "Calvin, pay her back."Calvin bent his head in response. "Yes."Leon stopped paying attention to the rest and inclined his head to look at me, a few moments of tenderness in the bottom of his icy eyes."Is the party over?""Yes.""Then let's go."Leon gently embraced my
Celia POVIt immediately drew laughter from the people around me."Good. Today, as long as you play a song that can make all the students present to applaud for you, then it will be considered a win for you. At that time, we'll do whatever you want us to do!"I looked calm. "It's a deal."The girl in the lead added, "But if you play poorly and don't get the unanimous approval of us students, you'll have to admit you're having an affair with the principal and crawl out from here! We will shoot a video and post it on the school forum! In that case, do you still dare to bet?"I frowned lightly and was silent for two seconds, considering before saying, "Yes."I turned to the stage and took the violin from Perla.Amidst the expectant and questioning eyes of the crowd, I finally strummed the strings.I fiddled with the strings in a haphazard manner, playing them in a messy manner. The sound from the violin was ear-splittingly loud, drawing looks of disgust from the students on stage."Oh my
Celia POV"Celia, your uncle is really handsome!""Celia, quickly introduce us!"One of the female students added enthusiastically, "Sir, why don't you stay and have fun with us? You've made such a great contribution to our alma mater today."This female student was clearly drunk, but everyone was happy to agree with her proposal.Leon narrowed his eyes at me and spoke faintly, "No, you guys have fun. I just came over to check on Celia."The man's large, rough hand gently covered the top of my head and stroked it. He really looked like a very responsible elder, but was actually full of condescending suppression.I frowned irritably and glared at him.Her girls, however, cast envious glances.Leon added, "Well, have fun with your classmates. I'll wait for you in the room across the hall."Saying that, Leon slightly lowered his body, ruffled the hair on the side of my face, moved closer, and whispered in my ear, "Don't ever forget who you are now. Don't get too close to other men."It w
Celia POVIn fact, I had really expected that much from Tamia at first, hoping to make peace with her for three months, more or less.However, Alex had recently realized that Landon had been furtively guarding the entrance to Dark Moon pack for several days, so he had been sending people to keep a close eye on it.Alex then realized that there was a connection between Landon and Tamia and promptly reported the situation to me.And then everything that happened after that was within my grasp.The woman dressed exactly like her was indeed sent by Alex to replace me.Tamia glared at me angrily in displeasure. "So what? My brother would never fall for a woman like you!"I yawned."Really? That's really great. I wouldn't like a boring old man like your brother either!""What? You don't like my brother?" Tamia stared, thought for a moment, and immediately rolled her eyes. "I don't believe it! If you don't like my brother, why did you agree to be his Luna?"I grunted lightly, "Maybe, your br
Celia POVTamia disgustedly avoided Landon's tugging and unhappily said to the next few officers, "What are you all waiting for? Take this criminal inside!"Landon, who was dragged inside by the police officers, was instantly annoyed and struggled, shouting, "Police officers, I want to report this! It was her! She's the one who ordered me to do that. She's the one who did it!"Everyone in the police station looked at Tamia."Grandma, this person is a psycho! Let's get out of here!" Tamia was anxious.Jazlene looked at Landon with a serious face, thought for a moment, and then turned her head to Tamia. "Tamia, do you recognize this man or not?"Tamia's eyes were uncertain, and she shook her head. "Grandma, I don't recognize him!""Tamia, it was you who sent me Celia's location and a me in asked me to knock her out and get her to the Black Mist Hotel! Then, you framed her as a prostitute!"Tamia panicked. "I did not!"Landon said, "I ran into Tamia earlier. She said she was Alpha Leon's
Celia POV Tamia quickly stepped around us and walked inside, asking loudly. "Officer here, may I ask if a man and a woman were arrested today for dealing in pornography in the Black Mist International Hotel?" The constable looked up at her and answered truthfully, "Yes, there was such a thing. What happened?" Tamia said, "Can I meet the woman who was arrested? I think there's a good chance I know her!" The officer shook his head. "Unfortunately, the woman suspected of breaking the law escaped while in custody. Our colleagues are still in the middle of an urgent hunt for her." Tamia immediately said, "I want to report it! I know where that woman ran off to!" The police officer looked surprised. "You really know? You can't joke about something like that!" Tamia turned around and walked over to me, yanking me in front of the officer, saying nonchalantly, "That's her!" Jazlene snapped back to her senses and immediately shouted, "Tamia! What are you doing?" Tamia said, "Don't worr
