After the night's conversation with Thane ended, the two slept together. With their arms around each other and giving each other comfort.The following day, Elinor woke up earlier than Thane and stroked the man's hair gently. "Good morning," she said as she gave him a gentle peck. This time, Elinor looked more assertive and confident."It's early. Are you going to leave me?" Thane teased his lover by holding Elinor's hand."Come on! I want to do something. Don't keep me in the room, Thane. You'll know later. You can go back to rest if you don't want to move from there. When I'm done, I'll be here to call you," Elinor explained as she broke free from Thane's grasp.Elinor appeared to be wearing clothes that were rarely touched by her. In fact, there was something different about her appearance this time. As Elinor stepped towards the door to exit, she disappeared behind the door, leaving Thane still imagining his lover's beauty."Why does she look more and more charming every day? I wo
They arrived at what seemed to be the headquarters of the Royal Thane mafia group. The people there paid their respects with a bow and deep appreciation when Thane and Elinor arrived. Elinor felt slightly confused, but Thane explained that covering their tracks was common in their world, and this place was not their main headquarters."Don't overthink about anything here, dear. It's all built-in and has systems that humans can't suspect. We need to manipulate so that what we're doing doesn't leak out to our opponents," Thane explained as he wrapped his arms around Elinor's waist.There were many things Thane did not show the woman. All were kept so as not to cause anxiety. Moreover, they already felt uneasy since Liam announced his wish to Thane."Thane, there are so many people with the same clothes. Don't you want to create a new atmosphere, like replacing what they're wearing, maybe?" Elinor chuckled, making Thane chuckle at that.Thane stroked Elinir's hair gently. Then, she expla
Elinor had just said a brief farewell to Thane. They were letting go of their unwillingness to be apart for a few days. Thane kissed Elinor deeply, fondling her and giving her memories before leaving. "Don't misbehave while I'm gone. If you need anything, just tell Mia. She will fulfill everything." Elinor smiled at Thane's words."Take it easy. I'll be fine. It should be you who needs to be careful." Thane smiled and kissed Elinor's forehead.After Thane left, it was time for Elinor to relax in the penthouse. She sat in the living room, enjoying the quiet and the soft music. Elinor laid her body down on the sofa, enjoying the solitude with the snacks Mia had prepared on the table. Not only snacks but even drinks and snacks were served to make Elinor feel comfortable with her time."Huh... I don't know when was the last time I could be like this?" murmured Elinor as she stuffed food into her mouth.Now she reached for the book on the table, though her ears were listening to music. E
Thane felt the pounding of his heart as if danger threatened Elinor. A feeling of anxiety and anger immediately came over him. Without thinking about the consequences, Thane smashed the seat he was sitting in on the private plane with incredible force, causing a shocked and tense reaction from Mike and the crew."Why am I feeling so uneasy. What happened to you, Elin?" muttered Thane, who now looked unfocused."Hey, Thane. What's wrong? Did something happen? Why are you destroying your chair like this?" asked Mike, who saw that.Mike approached Thane with a worried expression and asked what happened. "I feel like something bad happened. It seems to be related to Elinor. I think she's in danger right now. I can't just stand by here." Thane, with a face full of anxiety, gave instructions for the plane to turn around immediately. "Mike, turn the plane around! We're returning to the penthouse! I have a bad feeling that can't be ignored!" Mike immediately contacted their crew in the city
Elinor woke up in an unfamiliar room, full of confusion and fear. As she slowly opened her eyes, she felt someone nearby stroking her hair gently. As her eyes focused, she was shocked to realize that the man beside her was Liam."Liam? What are you doing? Where am I?" asked Elinor, who looked confused and felt scared.Seeing Elinor's shock, Liam tried to calm her down. The man got closer to Elinor and grabbed her long hair to inhale her scent. Liam's face made Elinor uncomfortable, and he tried to avoid it."You are in my palace, Elinor. Fear not. I will always fulfil whatever you need. Just like that man, only I'm better than him." Liam emphasized to Elinor what he could do.Elinor shook her head, and she didn't want anything. However, Elinor only wanted to return to Thane. Elinor heard Liam's words with mixed feelings. Although she was in a strange place and she felt scared, she didn't want to depend on Liam. Her heart was still bound to Thane, and she longed for the presence and pr
The information obtained made Thane immediately head to the location. He couldn't be patient with Liam's game this time. "Hurry up, I can't wait to grab that man's mouth and use it as fishing bait!" Thane said in an angry tone.His emotions peaked, and his body temperature rose rapidly. Moreover, Elinor was currently untraceable, which meant she was unconscious. Thane's feelings were even more mixed when the car reached its destination.A building owned by Black Moon became Thane's primary destination. There were many members of the Black Moon group standing guard with weapons in their hands."What fools, don't they love their own lives?" said Thane, who was now aiming his long-barreled rifle at the heads of one enemy after another.Until Thane could enter the building, there were apparently many other members waiting. Thane could sense that there were no higher-ups from the group there. Still, he didn't want to waste the opportunity to reduce the number of Black Moon members.Mike w
At his current place, Liam was enjoying a drink at the minibar. He was still thinking of ways to melt Elinor's heart. In addition, Liam also knew that there was a bond between Elinor and Thane. Unfortunately, that bond wasn't powerful because Elinor was a human.Relationships that occur between humans and werewolves often make the wolves feel worried. They must be patient to get a strong bond like a mate.With this, Liam benefited. He could play Thane by putting a witch around him. In fact, this witch was more potent, so it could cover up Thane and Elinor's bond.Silently, Liam smiled wryly at the thought of what he would do after getting Elinor intact. He really felt like he was winning from Thane in this regard. Moreover, that man couldn't even find his own beloved."Look at that, Thane! Who's the winner now," Liam said as he sipped his drink.Liam chuckled as he imagined Elinor's beautiful face in fear and searching for Thane. Liam believed it wouldn't last long if he could win Eli
Thane felt angry and filled with explosive emotions. Around him, many things were smashed and out of place. In fact, the walls of the room there were cracked almost to holes from Thane's blows.The man could not calm down at the thought of Elinor's whereabouts. Despite trying to sharpen his vision with the bond he shared with Elinor, he still couldn't find the details of her whereabouts.Thane felt like a failure in this quest. The few times he tried, there was a vision that showed Elinor's whereabouts vaguely. However, it was a fragment. It made Thane Gray to be able to command his men."I can smell the scent of Elinor's body. I just can't tell where she is. What kind of man am I? Why let his beloved be in the hands of a criminal like Liam until now?!" Thane was really cursing his negligence. Thane was so upset. His mind was currently thinking about Liam, who was mocking him. This time, a wine bottle broke in his grasp. It was all witnessed by Mike and Amanda, who had been watching
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
