Elinor looked scared when Thane greeted her by mentioning the man's profession. Elinor, aware of her lover's status as a mobster, began to fidget.

Elinor walked into the elevator to the ground floor. She pressed the button for the first floor, and after the elevator doors closed, Elinor could be seen mumbling about the ingredients to be purchased.

I can't wait to see his expression later," Elinor said excitedly.A sense of happiness enveloped Elinor. Her time with Thane this time was so soothing.

In his room, Thane was talking to someone with long hair. Thane was giving orders to that person to guard and protect someone important to him."Follow him. I have a bad feeling. Don't let anything bad happen to him," Thane said, giving orders.The person in front of Thane only nodded before he finally left there. In fact, at this moment, Thane's face hardened, like something was making him uneasy. Thane was in an urgent situation, giving orders to people he trusted to protect someone important. His hardened face reflected the worry and foreboding that might be haunting him."I hope you're okay," Thane said softly with an uneasy feeling.Elsewhere, Tasha's attack on Elinor was stopped by Amanda.

Thane had set the day for them to move into his house. This was the day that both of them had been waiting for. Although Elinor still looked devastated over what happened to Tasha yesterday, she tried to hide it well before Thane.Thane sensed that Elinor was still devastated by yesterday's events, even though she was trying to hide it. Even so, Thane chose not to talk about it immediately, giving Elinor time and opportunity to deal with her feelings."Perhaps we can change the mood by celebrating our moving day, dear," Thane said with a gentle smile, trying to distract Elinor. "I'm sure our new home will be full of wonderful memories."Together, they began to organize their belongings for the move, creating moments of togetherness that might lift Elinor's spirits.

For the first time, Elinor met Thane-Grace's mother. The woman, who looked beautiful and friendly, made Elinor feel doubtful. Elinor thought, "Will Thane's mother like me, or will she hate me?"Elinor's demeanor turned quiet. She was still reading the situation and observing the surroundings. It took some adaptation to get along with the Thane family. Elinor tried to be as calm as possible when answering Grace's questions.Grace greeted Elinor with a warm smile. "Elinor, how nice to meet you. All this time, I've only known that my son already has a mate. I just haven't known who and how. I'm sure we'll get to know each other better as time passes."Elinor felt a little relieved to hear Grace's positive response. She tried to smile back and said, "Thank you, ma'am. I'm glad to be here, too.""Ah, ah! You can call me Mother, dear. Don't be so stiff here. You are my son's partner now."

Elinor was entirely surprised by Grace's question about offspring. Her face looked normal, but she felt a sadness in her heart. Not because she couldn't give birth, but because Elinor had read an article about the relationship between werewolves and humans, it would be challenging to get offspring.Not only from her reading, Elinor had also asked the maid at the penthouse about this. The answer she got was the same, and it worried Elinor. She was sure that Thane already knew about it, and so far, Elinor had never discussed the issue of offspring with Thane.In her heart, Elinor felt distressed by the question. Although she loved Thane with all her heart, the reality that they were from different worlds made her anxious. She knew that as a human, she might be unable to provide the offspring Grace had hoped for."I'm sorry, Mother. It looks like that wish will be blocked. It's not that I can't provide offspring for this family, but... from what I know about werewolf and human relationsh

Elinor wandered around the park, focusing on the few small children playing or playing there. One name she called didn't come up with an answer. A sense of worry began to set in, and Elinor now looked confused about where her son was.Elinor searched anxiously around the park for Theodore. She called his name repeatedly, but there was no answer. The desire to find Theodore made her heart flutter even more. Amongst the low noise of the park bustling with children, it seemed difficult for her to see or hear Theodore.Elinor tried to keep her composure, thinking that perhaps Theodore was busy playing and hadn't noticed her mother's call. However, worry lingered in her mind. She asked some children playing nearby, "Have you seen Theodore? He was playing here earlier."The children shook their heads, and Elinor felt even more worried. She started walking faster, checking every corner of the park to find Theodore, who was either lost or too engrossed in his play to hear his mother's call.R

Shortly afterwards, Grace woke up and leaned against the body of the bed. Elinor was grateful that her lover's mother had opened her eyes again.

a sedan stopped in the basement, the car Thane and Elinor were in. They had arrived at the Penthouse after a long day of work. The two of them immediately went to the main room to meet Grace.When the door opened, they saw Grace sitting in one corner with a beautiful new bag beside her.

Grace's footsteps sounded loud. She was running like she was being chased by something. She was breathing heavily, sweat soaking her face and body. In front of her was a huge full moon. Grace continued to run, each step heavy and carried by the persistence to get away from something that seemed threatening.
