[POV 3]In his current place, Thane was wracked with anxiety and worry for his partner. His mind was unsettled, especially as he sensed what Elinor was going through. Several times, Thane asked Mike about the problems they were facing. "Isn't it over yet?" he asked for the umpteenth time.Hearing the same question, Mike grumbled, "What's wrong? Why are you repeating the same question from a few minutes ago? Did something happen?""It's not me, it's Elinor. I'm feeling very uneasy. I'm sure she's feeling this way." Thane walked back and forth, giving Mike a headache."Enough! You should call them if you're worried. Doesn't Elinor have a cell phone too? Why don't you ask her directly?" asked Mike, who was now feeling uncomfortable with Thane's attitude.Sure enough, before Thane could contact one of Elinor's bodyguards, a phone call came in, and Thane immediately answered it."Tell me! What's going on?" Thane asked without preamble."Sir, there were three people who approached Madame.
[POV 3]A man was sitting in the minibar. He was playing with a wine glass by shaking it slowly. His face looked mysterious, and he had a charming smile. His mind was wandering, imagining someone who kept appearing in his head."Elinor," he said slowly.He looked like a man in love with a woman. Several times, the same name was said, but she was not with him. "I love the scent of your body. Such a beautiful and extraordinary woman. You have captured my heart, Elinor. Yes, I want you, Elinor," the man murmured as he imagined the woman's face.Just as his heart was feeling so happy, the reverie was cut short when another man came in and gave him some bad information."Liam, our group lost to Royal. The casino fell into their hands. That man didn't allow any of our members to live. Then... there's one more thing you need to know." The man stopped his speech, making the man named Liam focus his eyes on him."Tell me! Why did you stop talking?!" said Liam, placing the glass on the table.
[POV 3]Liam's eyes slowly opened. He felt something strange about himself at the moment. For some reason, Elinor's face always came to mind. He moved as he held his head, which still felt bruised. Last night, he remembered drinking a few bottles until he got drunk. He was not feeling very good at the moment. Especially when he recalled Juan's words about Thane, who had given Elinor a sign. At that moment, Liam cursed and cursed what Thane got."Damn it! Why should he always be lucky?! Let's see, after this, I will take Elinor from you, Thane. I'll beat you and kill you so I can have everything you have. I'm not willing to let you be happy while I have to feel the pain here." Liam spoke as if Thane was in front of him.Liam remembered that Elinor came from the auction in the city center. He also knew what Elinor's past was like. However, Liam still did not expect that she had been the mate of his enemy all this time. His heart ached as if unwilling to see Elinor's happiness in Thane'
[POV 3]After Liam's departure, Tasha looked upset at not getting any attention. She had been waiting for a long time to become Liam's partner. The time it took was not short, it had been years that she tried to attract Liam's attention. Unfortunately, none of her efforts received any attention."Why are you still not aware, Liam? It should be time for you to be my partner," she muttered with a hug and thought about Liam's attitude.Juan was there with a bottle of water for Tasha. He handed her the drink, and she accepted it with annoyance."Why are you still expecting Liam? Isn't it obvious he's obsessed with the power that Royal has. Especially now that Thane has his mate. Surely, they will increase their vigilance even more." Juan tried to explain to Tasha about Liam's current state of mind."We've been together since childhood. Until now, I've always put up with his attitude. Especially if he's in an emotional state, I don't even have the guts to get close. You must remember what
[POV 3]Tasha left Liam alone for now. Looking from a distance, watching, and waiting for the right time to step in to be the woman who is there when needed. Tasha didn't want to ruin the atmosphere because of her rushed presence. Even though she knew she could come in at any time and be by Liam's side as an entertainer.Her plan was to win Liam's heart, to make him forget about Alpha's other lovers. Although it would actually be difficult to do, Tasha had the determination to carry out the plan to get what she wanted."Just watch, Liam. You'll turn your back on Elinor and choose me. I won't let you get that woman. She doesn't deserve a man like you." Tasha continued to mutter as if she wanted everything to happen according to the path she had set.Tasha showed up at Liam's residence. She came as if nothing had happened and acted calmly even though her heart was still unstable. Tasha's heartbeat could be felt by Liam and made him ignore her.The woman was aware of the attitude shown b
[POV 3]At one of the tables, a couple was seen chatting. They looked so familiar, talking about something that I didn't know what it was?The face of the woman sitting there showed happiness. From the smile and cheerfulness shown. Making everyone who sees her think that she is happy.However, among the familiarity, suddenly, the man's face hardened. Especially when Liam's figure walked towards them. The man became wary and showed a gesture that was ready to attack.Liam came with a woman behind him. Making Thane even more alert and warning Elinor not to flick. The warning Thane gave made Elinor uneasy. Her body trembled, and her heart beat fast."Thane, is she behind me now?" entreated Elinor."Hem, do not be afraid. I am here, Elin. You have nothing to worry about." Thane tried to keep Elinor calm.They were still trying to stay where they were. Sitting and enjoying the meal that was almost finished. Elinor expressed her worry, but she also said, "Is it possible that he would attack
[POV 3]On the way, Thane looked unhappy with what happened a moment ago. His face was still hardened. The look in his eyes was not very friendly to look at. The sight made Elinor a little scared and felt guilty. Elinor grabbed Thane's arm and rested her head on his shoulder. Thane realized that there was a woman who needed attention beside him."Thane, I'm sorry," Elinor said, making Thane glance at her and think.Thane's hand gently rubbed Elinor's head. Feeling the smoothness of his woman's hair that always used the best care recommended by Mia."What are you apologizing for? It's not your fault. If you're worried about Liam, we've been feuding for a long time," Thane explained, causing Elinor to tilt her head.Elinor had never understood the disputes within the werewolf pack. She also asked Thane, "Actually, have you guys always been in different groups and feuded like this? Or is there another trigger that makes your group have to fight?"Thane changed his position, now Elinor s
[POV 3]Liam and Tasha were in a room. Liam's study, to be precise. The two seemed to be sitting across from each other, and Tasha was now staring at Liam with one hand resting her chin on the table. The woman's gaze depicted her raging feelings, so many questions that arose in her head and wanted to be asked.However, the man in front of her was currently going through some files that she didn't want to disturb. Tasha changed her position and now played with the pen on the table. She twirled the pen and then put it back down.It was very dull to be in one room without any conversation. Suddenly, Tasha remembered the incident that had just happened at the restaurant. A woman made Liam flirt with another Alpha's mate. Tasha, annoyed at the memory, now looked sharply at Liam and began to straighten her sitting position."Liam, do you really like the mate of your enemy? Do you realize that?" Tasha asked curiously.Liam stopped what he was doing and looked at Tasha sharply. His eyes were
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
