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
