View MoreLorena POVThe next afternoon after finishing my last class, I headed straight to the supermarket. It was my first time cooking lobster, so I needed to prepare the necessary ingredients. However, I had no experience in the kitchen and it was quite challenging for me to take on such a difficult ingredient, especially since I had to cook for Seth, who loves to challenge me. Of course, I wasn't completely unprepared.When I returned to the apartment, Shana had been waiting at the door for a while. Yes, Shana is my strongest support. "Shana, why did you come so early?""I didn't have anything to do today, so I came early." Shana took things from my hands and asked me to open the door first.We put the ingredients in the kitchen, tidied up a bit, and started preparing dinner for tonight. While preparing the meal, I couldn't help but ramble on about my experiences during this time with Shana."Even though you've said so much, is that Kit guy interested in you?" Shana asked."Kit is a nice p
Lorena POVIn that moment, I wished I could just dig a hole and disappear. There's nothing more embarrassing than getting caught lying on the spot.Seth, the subject of the conversation, leisurely walked over with his long legs."Seth, I don't believe you would really kiss her. She must be bragging. Haven't you always liked Nola?" Rosanne wanted to expose my lie right then and there. "Nola is talented and knowledgeable. You can't compare to her even in a single strand of hair.""It's none of your business, Rosanne."Seth ruffled Rosanne's hair and held my wrist with his other hand. My body stiffened, and I looked up at the man beside me. His handsome face was lowered, with his gaze as deep as jade. As our eyes met, my cheeks blazed with heat, and I quickly looked down like a quail.Rosanne was defiant. "Seth, I'm an adult too, just like Lorena.""But you haven't found your own mate yet," Seth said nonchalantly, and he pulled me away from Rodriguez's house.In the old mansion of the Ro
Lorena POVTonight's dinner was really sumptuous, just as Seth mentioned. We had fresh Australian lobsters flown in, and there were four of them. We also had French grilled lamb chops and leg of lamb. The fresh ingredients were cooked by a five-star chef, and as soon as the dishes were brought out, the aroma was so enticing that I could feel it in every part of my body.Unfortunately, I was already full after having that cup of mocha earlier. So now, I can only eat half of a lobster and one grilled lamb chop.King noticed and asked with concern, "Why aren't you eating? Are you feeling unwell?"Rosanne sneered, " I bet you've never had anything like it in your life. You should eat more.""I do want to eat more, but I had a large cup of mocha on the way here. If I had known there would be so much delicious food, I would have drunk less." Faced with her sarcasm, I chose to explain gracefully.Rosanne scoffed, "Hick, we eat things like this all the time."I smiled slightly, "Is that so? S
Lorena POVIn the evening, the car drove into the old Rodriguez mansion. As I looked at this ancient mansion at sunset, I couldn't help but feel a sense of indescribable oppression.As Seth and I walked inside, something came to my mind, something that had been troubling me for a long time, so I finally asked, "Is your sister studying abroad?""No, she goes to the same university as you. She went overseas for an exchange program during the summer," Seth replied as we walked. The Rodriguez house seemed quite lively today. We hadn't even reached the front door when we could already hear Luna and Ruby's laughter from inside.My mind wandered. Seth's sister goes to the same university as me? A bad premonition welled up in me, and I think I knew who it was.In shock, I looked into the living room and immediately saw the young girl sitting next to Luna. She had curly hair, was dressed elegantly, and had a delicate, beautiful face that exuded confidence and charm.Suddenly, I remembered the
Seth POVThe Rodriguez family mansion.I finished breakfast and planned to go to work. It has been a week since the incident at the hotel, and I haven't contacted her for many days. I wanted to chat with her, but every time I tried to speak, I didn't know what to say and gave up.Just as I pushed the chair back, my father called me, "Wait, I have something to tell you.""What is it?" I turned around, not paying attention to the coldness on my face.My father looked at me and said, "Tomorrow, your sister Rosanne is coming back from England. Bring Lorena back and have a reunion dinner, let them get to know each other."My mother was in a good mood, "It seems that Rosanne and Lorena are about the same age, both still in college.""Yes, they should have things to talk about." After my father agreed, he suddenly noticed that I was still cold-faced and silent. "What's wrong? Haven't you apologized to her?""I did apologize." I didn't know how to explain, but I really don't want to see Loren
Lorena POVI hesitated for a moment, but deep down, I really wanted to agree. The look in Seth's eyes was incredibly sincere, and the fire in his eyes almost engulfed me. However, I knew that my status was insignificant to Seth, and if it wasn't for that accident, our paths would never have crossed. As for me, I wasn't sure if the current attraction was due to the pheromones between mates or if we truly were compatible."I'm sorry," I lied after a moment of consideration, "even though you are exceptional, I also desire a genuine emotional connection. My previous idea was that if you were to pass away, I could avoid offending the King and also receive a large sum of money as a widow before seeking true love. I am still young and I want to experience what it feels like to be loved."Seth didn't say anything, but he just looked down at me with his cold, thin lips pursed from above."Very well," he said coldly after a few seconds, as he buttoned up his shirt, "I thought you were a smart w
Seth POVWhen I received Lorena's message while I was still in the meeting, I have to admit that I didn't quite catch on until she mentioned the part-time job, combined with the photo she sent of herself wearing loose pajamas. It seems like I was drinking in the hotel and got myself drunk.When I arrived, Lorena had wide, misty eyes, with a flushed face, and her clean black hair casually draped over her shoulders. There was a faint smell of red wine on her, clearly indicating that she had been drinking. Her full lips were stained with a rosy wine mark.Even someone like me, who usually has good self-control, couldn't resist.It wasn't until the knocking on the door at the entrance awakened a faint memory in me. Lorena's body froze, as if trying to remember something important that she had forgotten."Don't go," I cursed in my mind. What kind of lousy hotel is this? Isn't it supposed to be a lovers' suite? And yet, someone is knocking on the door late at night. It's really ruining the
Lorena POVI took the room key and hotel brochure handed to me by the waiter, feeling a sudden surge in warmth between Seth and me. But this also made me feel more embarrassed. Just as I was about to say something, Seth's phone rang. He gave me an apologetic look, indicating that he needed to go outside to take the call, and then got up and left. I let out a sigh of relief.Who could have expected this turn of events? If we were just normal mates, maybe the prize would have been a fun way to strengthen our relationship. But now it has become a tricky situation.After a while, Seth came back, with a hint of apology in his eyes. "Sorry, there's some urgent matter at work. I have to go there tonight.""It's okay. Go ahead and take care of it." This could be seen as a blessing in disguise. Now that Seth has work to attend to, I can enjoy a luxurious night at the hotel on my own. Maybe I can even invite Jill to come and join me."And what about this hotel...?" Seth cautiously asked me."We
Lorena POVI felt nervous as I looked at Seth in front of me. Although he was indeed handsome, his gaze had been full of scrutiny since the beginning, which made me feel uncomfortable. After all, I did have a favor to ask him.After I asked for his help, there was even more meaning in his eyes. He didn't speak at first, just looked at me for a while before nodding slowly to agree.Anyway, he did agree to help Jill, so it was a success."Have you ordered?" Seth took the menu and glanced at me."No, I don't know what you like to eat.""You can order, I'm not familiar with this restaurant." Seth looked around. I chose a Spanish restaurant mainly because of its romantic and hazy atmosphere, but as a result, most of the people here were couples. It truly was a haven for young people to go on dates.It was my first time here as well, so I ended up ordering the dishes that were highly recommended online. After ordering, I noticed Seth had been staring at me. Thinking about my terrible face,
Lorena POVThe Rodriguez family mansion.A round full moon hangs high in the sky, creating a solemn atmosphere. There are only a few scattered individuals around, most of whom are immediate relatives of the Rodriguez family. In the center, I am dressed in a robe, conducting a mate ceremony with an unconscious man lying on the ground.As for why this is happening, it's quite simple. The man before me, Seth Rodriguez, the esteemed royal Alpha heir, was involved in a car accident recently. The doctors declared him beyond saving and advised his family to make preparations for his passing.However, Seth Rodriguez is the only son of the Rodriguez family. The Alpha King, unwilling to accept this fate, sought the help of the kingdom's most renowned witch doctor.
