Elinor did not expect to meet the man in front of her again. Even so, Elinor's demeanor remained calm, and she gave the man a friendly smile. The man's name was Rowan, and now he was sitting near Elinor to ask for news again."So, how are you? It's been a while since we've seen each other, and you've changed a lot," Rowan greeted Elinor politely.Elinor changed her sitting position gracefully. She placed both hands on her thighs and replied, "As you can see, I'm fine. In fact, much better than before."Rowan nodded in understanding. "That's good. It's a relief to hear that. So, what made you move away from here? And it seems like something changed in you, Elinor."Elinor thought about her answer carefully. "Some time ago, I experienced a major event that changed my life. I met someone who has brought about many changes. From then on, I decided to follow my new destiny."Rowan looked at Elinor curiously. "That someone must be fortunate to have you. I'm glad to see you so happy and exci
Elinor found it amusing to see Thane's face burning with jealousy. The man even averted his eyes whenever Elinor tried to look at him. Not only that, Elinor was even explaining to Thane about who Rowan was in detail.With a slight laugh, Elinor tried to comfort Thane, "Thane, Rowan is just an old friend of mine. Honestly, he was my first love, but that's just part of the past. You are the future and the most important presence in my life now."Thane still looked unsure, but he tried to ease his emotions. "I know, darling. But my jealousy can never be completely avoided."Elinor tried to move closer to Thane and placed her hand on his cheek, trying to soothe his heart burning with jealousy. "I love you, Thane. No one can take your place in my heart. Rowan is only a memory."Elinor continued her story about a time when she was at her lowest. Rowan was the only man who helped her. It was also what made Elinor feel indebted to Rowan.Elinor shared more about her difficult times and how Ro
Thane was attending an important meeting. There, Elinor accompanied him, sitting beside Thane quietly. In that important meeting, Elinor sat gracefully beside Thane. Although not a full member of the werewolf world, she knew very well that her presence there as the Alpha's mate had its meaning and impact.Thane, as a leader, looked at Elinor with pride. Her presence there provided additional support and strength. Elinor, despite not having a werewolf background, had learned a lot about the new world that was now part of her life.The meetings were severe, and Thane was involved in discussions and decision-making with the Royal members. Elinor, meanwhile, was tactfully supportive and gave Thane an encouraging smile.After the meeting was over, Thane and Elinor left the room together. Elinor smiled at Thane, giving him silent but firm support. Thane gently touched Elinor's hand and felt fortunate to have someone who supported him every step of his leadership journey.Finished with the m
Elinor showed an unkind expression. She was deeply disturbed by what Mr. Brams had said earlier. Elinor's past came up again and made her feel uncomfortable. Elinor had always disliked her very unpleasant past. In fact, she wanted to forget all of it so that it would no longer be a problem in the future.Thane, who was beside Elinor, sensed her feelings. The man tried several times to engage Elinor in conversation. "Honey, where is my Elinor, who used to smile in front of me?"Elinor glanced at Thane and tried to give a smile. However, Thane knew it was a forced smile that Elinor was giving.Thane could sense Elinor's discomfort. Although she tried to comfort and uplift Elinor's spirits, the bad feelings from the past still seemed to haunt her."Honey, I know this is hard for you. But you are not alone. I'm here for you, always," Thane said softly, trying to give Elinor support.Elinor nodded slowly, appreciating Thane's words, but she still found it hard to let go of the burden of th
The atmosphere in the living room caught Elinor's attention. She, originally in the room, now saw the tension between Thane and the man visiting the penthouse. Elinor had some thoughts but chose to remain silent and not interfere in it."What exactly is going on between them?" wondered the inquisitive Elinor.Thane showed his anger this time because the man before him did not leave. Even though Thane had told his men to chase him away, the man still wouldn't leave.Elinor felt her curiosity peak when she saw Thane showing his anger. Although she knew that getting involved in Thane's family affairs could be sensitive, Elinor felt the need to know more.She approached Thane, hoping to defuse the situation or get some clarification. However, as soon as Elinor stepped closer, Thane looked at her sternly, signaling clearly that this was not the right time to intervene. She understood that Thane had a business he might not want to share. Even so, his curiosity and curiosity lingered in the
Elinor was still awake, staring at her lover's serene face. Finally, Thane suddenly woke up with a groan because his body felt so painful. Finally, Thane screamed and felt like his whole body was being attacked by hundreds of people simultaneously.Elinor was shocked and worried at Thane's sudden reaction. Without hesitation, she immediately hugged him tightly, trying to provide support and comfort in this challenging situation. "Thane, what happened?" whispered Elinor softly, trying to calm her lover.Elinor held Thane close, providing unwavering support. "Calm down, Thane. We will get through this together. I'm here for you, always," she said sincerely.Elinor's feelings were troubled, especially since they had a strong bond, so what Thane felt, she also felt. The effect of Thane's meeting with his father was quite chaotic. Moreover, the situation provoked Thane's emotions, which rarely came out, even in critical situations."Thane, tell me. What are you feeling now?" asked Elinor,
Thane woke up with a start and a body that still felt wet from being splashed with water by his father, Ramon. His breath hitched, and Thane's eyes searched for focus around him. Ramon stood before him with a cold face as if it were natural."Wake up, Thane. You are still weak. An Alpha cannot be weak!" Ramon said in a firm voice, without any expression of concern.Thane felt his body still trembling from the sudden shock. "What are you doing here, father? Why are you bothering me?"Ramon only smiled sarcastically. "I see how weak you are. Do you think you can lead a pack of werewolves under these circumstances? You need to be stronger, Thane. This is how you train a leader."Thane felt angry and resentful. He knew that physical and mental training was necessary, but the way Ramon did it felt more like torture than training. "This is not training, this is torture! You can't be arbitrary like this, father!"Ramon just laughed coldly. "This is the price you pay for being a tough leader.
Elinor felt like she was dragged into the whirlpool of emotions that Thane was feeling. Although she did not physically experience the incident, their special bond as mates allowed Elinor to feel every emotional tremor that Thane experienced. Thane's sadness, anger, and despair created an inescapable vibration in their bond.In such situations, Elinor chose to remain supportive and hold Thane tightly. She understood that this was a difficult time for her lover, and Elinor wanted to provide unconditional support. In the silence that followed, Elinor mused about the strength of their mate bond, which was so deep that it transcended physical boundaries and allowed them to share emotional burdens.With a gentle gaze, Elinor tried to convey that she was by Thane's side, ready to listen and provide as much support as needed. Elinor's presence and understanding became an important crutch in Thane's healing journey, helping to ease the emotional burden he had carried alone for so long."After
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
Elinor lived her days with happiness and impatience. Every month, her belly grew bigger, and Elinor looked forward to the day her child was born. The few months of waiting made Elinor a more maternal figure. How she interacts with the baby in her belly and some other preparations are almost complete."It's just a matter of days, or even hours, before we meet, darling. Your mother can't wait to see your face," Elinor says, speaking to the baby in her belly as she gently strokes it.Elinor lived every day with enthusiasm and love for her unborn child. Her pregnancy was a miraculous moment for her, and she prepared everything with great love.Every night, Thane stayed by Elinor's side with great care. He often gently massages Elinor's belly and talks to the baby inside. The closeness between Thane, Elinor, and the unborn child grew even closer."Truly, I cannot wait to see your little face, my child. You will be the light of our lives," Thane said sincerely.Elinor also actively sought i
The party that had been planned finally began with great fanfare. The party was held in the main house, in the spacious courtyard. Many came from the Royal group. They congratulated Elinor and Thane with gifts.Songs and laughter filled the air as the guests celebrated the happy news. The spacious courtyard was decorated with coloured lights, and tables were laden with delicious dishes to share. Grace looked so excited to see the festivities.Elinor and Thane walked among their guests, accepting congratulations and gifts with genuine smiles. They felt blessed with the support of their friends and family.As the evening progressed, the atmosphere grew more intimate. Some guests started dancing in the courtyard's centre, and others gathered around the campfire, telling stories. Thane held up a glass and gave a short speech about their happiness at having a new member in the family."Look, who's going to be a father? Congratulations to you, sir Thane, you're great. You guys are a match m
Elinor is lying down, with Thane and Grace keeping her company. Elinor had mixed feelings as the doctor began to touch her for examination. Everyone there had tense faces as they waited for the mind-numbing results.The doctor examined Elinor carefully, and the atmosphere in the room was tense. Thane and Grace looked at each other, trying to offer support without saying a word. They knew how important this moment was for Elinor.After the examination, the doctor took a breath and calmly said, "Congratulations, you are pregnant. Everything is going well."Elinor looked up at the doctor with teary eyes, and Thane and Grace felt happiness welling up in their hearts. This was the news they had been waiting for, and now their little family would grow.The doctor proceeded to give some guidance and care advice during pregnancy. Elinor, Thane, and Grace listened intently.Thane hugged Elinor and repeatedly planted kisses on her forehead. Grace was so happy that she almost jumped up to hug El
After telling his subordinates to call a doctor, it wasn't long before a man in a white coat arrived and confirmed Grace's condition. She was now lying in the room with a haggard look. However, when the doctor examined her, there was nothing unusual about her body. In fact, there were no signs of a disease that might be lodged in her body.The doctor noted that Grace should be in good physical health. However, he was considering further testing to ascertain if any health issues might not be detected immediately. Thane and Elinor, sitting at the bedside, followed every word spoken by the doctor in the hope of getting some answers as to what was happening to Grace.The doctor left as soon as his job was done. 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. They immediately approached Grace and asked her how she felt and what had happened.Elinor worriedly asked, "Mom, what happened earlier?
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 face lit up with happiness as she saw Thane and Elinor enter the room."Mommy!" exclaimed Elinor with a bright smile. She ran over to Grace to give her a warm hug.Thane, happy to see Grace, followed her and smiled. "Hi, Mom. How was your day?"Grace smiled at the arrival of the two, feeling so relieved to meet the couple. Originally, they had planned to meet outside, but Grace had returned to the Penthouse first.This made them rush home to make sure she was okay. "Mom, didn't we plan to meet at the café? Why did you go home first?" Asked Thane, who looked worried about his mother's condition."My body suddenly felt uncomfortable. I'm glad to see you guys back early, I just arrived and want to
At this point, Grace headed into town, where Thane and Elinor were. She had just arrived and was picked up by Thane's subordinates. Unfortunately, Thane and Elinor could not do it in person because they were busy with Thane's work.Grace was happy to arrive in the city where Thane and Elinor were, though a little disappointed that they were both busy with work. Nonetheless, she knew that her arrival would give them added encouragement.Thane's subordinates helped Grace with her luggage and escorted her to the place that had been prepared for her. Grace was grateful for their warm welcome even though Thane and Elinor couldn't greet her in person."Give my regards to Thane and Elinor. I will rest for a while in my room. If they have time later, I'd be happy to meet them," Grace told Thane's subordinates.Once in the room, Grace felt exhausted after the long journey. Although she felt exhausted, the curiosity and worry that had haunted her for the past few days had not completely disappe
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. The full moon gave her an inescapable illumination, creating shadows stretching along her path.The roar of breathing and the sound of footsteps echoed around, creating tension in what should have been a quiet night. Grace looked up at the sky and saw a large full moon that casts a bright light, creating strange shadows around her.Relentlessly, she stepped faster, her heart racing. There was no sign of what might be chasing her, but fear continued to haunt her. She tried to remember which direction to take, seeking shelter.While the full moon watched her every step, the darkness of the night held her tight. Suddenly, Grace heard a baby crying and opened her eyes wide.Sweat floo
Thane and Elinor arrived at the Penthouse. They were now making their way to their rooms to rest. Before heading to his cozy place with Elinor, Thane cleaned up first. Meanwhile, Elinor headed to the kitchen to get a drink and some snacks to enjoy in the room. Elinor was sure Thane would not immediately ask her to sleep with her. So, she wanted something to eat while they talked to make the atmosphere more relaxed.Elinor happily grabbed some drinks and light snacks from the kitchen, thinking a relaxed and warm atmosphere could be created as they talked in the room. She selected some fruits and snacks Thane liked and brought his favorite drink.Meanwhile, Thane was in the bathroom, letting the warm running water soothe him after an eventful day. He mused momentarily about the day's events, hoping his decision would bring peace to Elinor and himself.After finishing cleaning up, Thane put on some comfortable nightwear and stepped out of the shower. He saw Elinor already preparing with
