[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
[POV 3]The night was silent, but not Elinor's heart. She felt anxious, no matter how much she tried to stay calm. In reality, it could not be done quickly. Her mind was now fixated on her lover, who was not with her.Elinor was confused by her feelings this time. "Could this be what Thane is feeling?" she murmured.The desire to meet was so great. However, Elinor did not know where Thane was at the moment. Several times, she tried to calm herself by closing her eyes. However, it was not that easy to do. Ultimately, Elinor decided to get out of bed and look for Thane. She felt that he was in the penthouse, but where exactly, she couldn't be sure.Elinor met some servants while outside the room. But Elinor didn't need them. She walked with certainty towards the one room Thane used to keep to himself.Elinor saw that the door was slightly ajar. She peeked through the crack. Sure enough, inside was Thane enjoying his drink. The whole room smelled of alcohol, making Elinor know the feeli
Thane looked stiff and shaken as he revealed the tragic story of his past. After organizing himself, he finally explained what really happened."Maybe you don't know this, Elinor, but me and Liam, we used to be enemies who respected each other," Thane said in a severe tone. "We were always in conflict with the honourable in us. Liam had a mate, and they were a good match. When Liam found his mate, he gained more power than ever."Thane continued his story. "There was once a dispute among another mafia group, which, of course, involved us. That's when everything changed. I arrived first and didn't know that Liam's mate, a woman named Melani, was in danger. The people who kidnapped her then took her hostage, and that's when they did something that took Melani's life."Thane looks devastated as he recounts this part. "When Melani died, Liam was in a lot of pain. He blamed it all on me and blamed everything on me. He vowed to do the same thing I did to Melani, which was to take my mate. S
