[Thane's POV]After the wedding of Anne Elinor's friend-a few days ago. I was busy with other matters again. I again left Elinor in the penthouse alone. However, it seemed like she was getting used to being without me. Does this mean she's not expecting me?Right now, I'm sitting in my study. My gaze is fixed on some documents that require my attention. I feel so bland right now because my mind is in the penthouse. Yes, I always think about Elinor, to the point where I can't concentrate on my work.I kept thinking, why didn't she want me? What exactly was wrong all this time?I thought of everything I gave Elinor, and they were all at Mike's suggestion. Mike stood at the door with his hand out, waking me from my daydream. I invited Mike in, and he sat on the chair opposite me."What's wrong? Why does your face not look okay? Is it still about your partner?" asked Mike as if he knew what I was thinking.I chuckled, and pulled a smile from the corner of my lips. "How do you know?""It's
[Thane's POV]It's been a few days since I've been at the penthouse. I'm sure Elinor must have felt lonely without me. Many things keep me busy, such as what is currently happening. In front of me was the group always looking for trouble with Royal. I went to one of their casinos and ended up in a bloody showdown. Yes, Black Moon never gets tired of bothering Royal. Like this time, they sacrifice people in groups that look weak and easy to root out.Without me coming down directly, I could see that victory was in our hands. Black Moon has never given up on being able to take over the territory that Royal has had all this time. The more our environment grew, the less Black Moon gave up on seizing it.All because of their power-crazed leader. Liam was obsessed with everything Royal had. For ten years, we have been fighting over territory. Up until now, their losses have been countless.Many of Black Moon's territories have been transferred to Royal. However, they certainly don't stand
[Thane's POV]I always looked at her from a distance. Making sure that she was okay in the penthouse. Occasionally, Mike reported when there were some Black Moon members hanging around. However, they didn't seem to know about Elinor's presence inside.I was pretty worried when I left her alone without the sign I should have given. I couldn't get close to her these few days, even to confirm if she wanted me was still a question."Sir, where are you?" Mike asked through the phone call he made."Penthouse. What's wrong?" I asked back, making sure nothing bad happened."Looks like Black Moon is playing with us more and more. He's back to kidnapping members who look manipulable," Mike explained, which made me even more furious with Black Moon."Tell them to be vigilant and not to wander around alone. We're in a state of war with Black Moon. It looks like Liam wants to try my anger."So far, only Liam had managed to make me show my fangs. Although he always lost, his zeal to seize the Royal
[Thane's POV]I opened my eyes and didn't see Elinor around me. Faintly, I heard water gurgling from the bathroom, apparently, my woman was there. Last night's activities made us wake up late. We missed breakfast, which made me call Mia to bring food to the room. While Elinor was in the bathroom, I also felt what she was feeling.I had opened my eyes earlier than Elinor, but I didn't want to ruin her calm mood. I let her wake up first and headed for the bathroom. I didn't want her to feel scared after what happened last night."This morning is so beautiful. I can finally have her in one piece. She is my Luna." I couldn't hide this pleasure.From the door, Mia brought a tray with a lot of food. She was with another servant, serving everything at the table."Sir, as you requested. All this morning's menu can increase your stamina and restore your tired physical condition," Mia explained to me.I just nodded in response. I saw that Mia had finished preparing breakfast for me and Elinor.
[Thane's POV]Elinor seemed confused by my explanation of my mate and who I was. She was still unmoved and did not respond excessively. It's just that, several times, Elinor was seen shaking her head, dismissing what was in her own mind.Her face looked so cute. She was like a child who was curious about something. However, when she got an answer, she dismissed it with childish thinking. I almost couldn't help but laugh at her. When our gazes met, Elinor wanted to confirm my words by trying to squint her eyes. I smiled, and then she said, "No, it's impossible!"She really showed her disbelief in my words."What's wrong, dear? Do you have something to ask me?" I asked, trying to get her to talk instead of thinking about it all silently.I'd rather see her talk a lot with her heart beating fast. It was a sign that Elinor was excited or in disbelief.I could see from her face that she wanted to say something. Maybe she would explain her feelings to me. I don't know, I can only wait unti
[Elinor's POV]Such a strange conversation, I thought. Thane opened a topic that made no sense to me. Especially since I've been living in the misery of people with power. The dark world, as Thane described it to me, I had never even heard of it.Thane was so serious with his explanation of who he and his group really were. While I, who was the listener, could only be confused. In my logic, all of this was just a fairy tale from the ancestors. It's not to happen in the real world. Was he making a joke?No, Thane wasn't someone who liked to make jokes. His face was as flat as a living mannequin, I was sure this was all true. Still shocked by Thane's confession, I stayed in my room. Thane had just left for work, of course, I didn't want to disturb him. Especially now that he and I had become lovers, Thane called it mate. Until there was a knock on the door. I stood up and asked who was knocking?"Madam, it's time for lunch." I heard the servant's voice calling me for lunch."Alright,
The voice that called out seemed to belong to Thane. Unfortunately, I couldn't find his whereabouts in the penthouse. I stopped what I was doing and returned to my room. I played with my phone, looked at what was trending on social media, and researched the dark world. Finally, drowsiness came and drifted me into sleep. My eyes opened again, I still hadn't seen Thane in the room. It looked like he wasn't coming home tonight. Could it be about them making trouble? Thane told me about Liam always doing his own thing and trying to seize Royal territory without permission. The fighting between them certainly won't be able to stop easily, there will definitely be many sacrifices as long as it continues.I walked to the bathroom to clean myself up. Enjoying the time before dinner is served is the most enjoyable thing. Just like before, I soaked my body in the bathtub, and I added a soothing scent to the mix."Elinor." Thane's voice called again, but why was he nowhere to be seen?I was ge
Thane always knew how to treat me in bed. He gave me sensations that made me feel addicted to his every touch. I've peaked a few times, but not with Thane. He looked so mighty and excited every time his cock hit the walls of my womb.All this time, I'd been researching relationships and what a woman does in bed. But all that information just made my face red. I wouldn't be able to tell Thane what I wanted to try in a relationship with him."Ahh... Thane. Deeper, faster," I said as I closed my eyes, feeling my own pumping."As you wish, darling. It's so good, yours is so narrow and tempting."Thane's words made me blush. I was happy to hear his praise, but I was also embarrassed. Thane's movements were a little rough, but I liked it. This was one of his releases in having sex with me.Suddenly, Thane turned me over, making me hold on to the body of the bed. I felt his cock go deeper and deeper. Making the sensation more exciting. Thane slightly bent his body, both hands holding onto my
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
