- Arthur's POV -
Mark is a violent, unruly man who has caused a lot of trouble since he was a child. I don't know if his flaws are inherited from me or if he has a grumpy wolf too.
In order not to kill Mark in my anger, I rarely met with him and disciplined him. I gave him as much freedom as possible and assumed that good schooling would help him correct his flaws.
However, according to the surveillance results from my subordinates, Mark seemed to be getting worse and worse in his excessive freedom. He had become uncontrollable.
So, even the best schooling could not compensate for the negative effects of his mother's passing on the son's upbringing? Should I change to a harsher form of discipline?
I sat behind my desk and pondered this problem.
At the same time, I never expected that a totally unknown girl would sneak into my house, the clean room I had prepared for my son.
- Crystal's POV -
Hot...so hot...
I feel like I'm on fire. There is a fire between my chest and lungs, and the flame spreads to my limbs and finally converges on my private parts.
The temperature below the private parts is not just hot anymore, it is burning, scalding hot. So hot that I feel like something has melted and is gurgling.
This strange sensation came on strong and overwhelming. It was like a wave that slapped me to the shore and then rolled me into the center of the sea without a second interval.
I curled up, clasped my arms, tangled my legs, and moaned in unbearable pain.
I'm going to die... I thought, I'm going to die...
My breath was hot and steamy, and surely even my blood was boiling. My heart was contracting rapidly in my chest, and every circulation of blood made my scalp explode with a tingling sensation.
I can't tell if this horrible feeling is pain or something else.
"Help... Help..."
I mumbled in a low voice, my watery lips hissing hot air.
"Help me... I feel so bad... so hot..." My low voice sounded like it was squeezed out of my lungs, and I didn't know that I had tears running down my face and saliva dripping onto my chest.
"It's hot..."
I was just going to go inside and hide for a while, and then I would leave when Mark left, but I was in such a state that I couldn't even hear the sound of the car starting outside the house. I just wanted to find something to drown out the heat on my skin.
Finally, my disoriented eyes locked on the bathroom in the room...
- Arthur's POV -
I couldn't settle down to read on the second floor, and I even thought I heard imaginary voices.
I clearly saw my son driving away in his car, but I thought I heard a noise coming from downstairs.
I was the only one living in this private villa.
I do not allow any of my subordinates to come here to report on their work. Except for the omega who comes to clean at a regular time every week, there shouldn't be anyone.
Could it be that Mark is back again?
I walked out of the room and tentatively walked down the stairs.
The further down the stairs I went, the more obvious the movement became, and the sound was coming from the rooms.
I stopped to listen, and soon I pinpointed the source of the sound - Mark's room.
"Mark..."
I whispered, the tight corners of my lips finally easing a bit. The anger inside was calmed a little.
It seemed that Mark had behaved himself and not gone out. Maybe my son is not so hopeless.
With that in mind, I raised my hand and knocked on the door.
"Open the door, Mark. We had a bad conversation earlier. I think we can talk again."
After saying that, I waited for a long time, but there was just no response.
"Open the door. Let's talk again."
There was still no response.
I doubtfully frowned and listened with my left ear, and there was indeed a sound.
"I know you're in there. Open the door, I..."
"Doh!"
Before the words were out of my mouth, there was a violent banging sound from inside, as if a person had fallen.
With a furrowed brow, I burst through the door.
It was dark behind the door, and there was no one there, only a muffled grunt of pain coming from the bathroom.
I hurriedly took a big step forward and pulled open the bathroom door, while turning on the light at the same time.
I was overwhelmed by what I saw.
"Oh, my moon goddess..."
What did I see? There was a soaked girl lying on the floor of the bathroom.
The girl raised her head at the same time, and it was a face of a complete stranger...
"Who...are you?" I asked in surprise.
How did this strange girl appear in my son's bathroom?
Was she a thief? Or a spy?
The girl raised a pair of watery eyes and, not knowing if she had seen my face or not, began to curl her body and shiver.
"Don't come over...don't...please..."
I watched her slowly shrink into a small corner, her wet hair sticking behind her ears, with her head resting against her knees.
The white, soaking wet t-shirt clung to her body, almost transparent. I could clearly see the shape of each of her ribs, shivering under the pale skin.
What a skinny, bony girl.
She was flushed with an abnormal pink color, and her body was trembling.
I held my breath as the defenses of my mind inexplicably collapsed.
What a poor cat that accidentally fell into the water, I thought unconsciously.
In less than three seconds, I had completely removed her from the unkind terms "thief", "spy" and so on, leaving only the adjectives "pitiful", "vulnerable" and even a few words like "cute" in my mind.
"Are you okay?"
I squinted and sensed something was wrong with the girl's state.
Perhaps her skin was too pale, so some of the marks of bruises looked particularly appalling.
Looking at her blood-red elbow, and thinking of the sound of falling that I had just heard outside, I couldn't help but walk over to her.
"Did you fall? Are there any injuries?"
- Crystal's POV -
As soon as I heard someone approaching, I immediately screamed in fear, "Aaaahhhh-go away! Go away!"
I'm in such a terrible state. I had been in the bathtub for a long time, and my body was cold, but the fire inside was still burning. Now my body was a mix of ice and fire, and I was even a little out of my mind.
The most fearful thing in my mind is Mark, and my greatest fear is that Mark, who drugged me, will find me. Now that someone was approaching, I assumed subconsciously that it was Mark.
"Leave me alone... please leave me alone..." I shivered and curled into a ball, my arms clutching my wet body.
I remembered what Mark had said when he called, that he had asked out a bunch of cronies, just to take me over to them for fun.
I took Mark's pill, and now my body is...very sensitive and weird...especially the organ between my legs. It is so hungry that it can eat my panties.
I am a virgin, I just want to have sex with a man who respects me and loves me.
I don't want to be used as a sex toy for a group of horny men to vent their desires. Instead of being tortured by them, I would rather die! I'd rather kill myself!
- Arthur's POV -
I walked towards the girl as far as I could in a gesture that did not show a threat. I even felt like I was comforting a wounded wildcat, but I did not expect this wildcat to be so wild.
Before my hand even touched the girl's shoulder, she raised her head tearfully and then, caught off guard, slammed hard against the edge of the tub.
"No!" I screamed out in shock at the girl's suicidal behavior. But the girl seemed even more frightened and hit her head against the tub several times.
How could I have expected the girl to have a death wish? I have always been known as "calm" but I was scared and confused at this point. In a panic, I covered the girl's forehead with my hand.
"Ouch!"
The girl hit her forehead hard again, so the back of my hand hit the bathtub with a fierce bump, and my finger bones hurt like they were broken. After I yelled out in pain, I hurriedly hugged the strange girl tightly.
"Are you crazy?"
I have always remained calm and steady, but at this moment, I almost roared a broken voice. If what just shattered was not my finger bones, it most likely would be the girl's skull.
"Let go of me! Let go of me!"
The wildcat in my arms cried hoarsely and wearily, her slender hands pounding wildly on my body. She was close to an emotional breakdown.
The skin on my palm is cold as if I am holding a block of ice in my arms.
But the ice seems to be encasing the magma. There is a constant flow of heat from contact.
"Please... Please... Leave me alone..."
I have never been in such a chaotic mood for a moment. A person who appeared without warning committed suicide in front of me without reason. Everything happened in less than a minute.
My mind was still stuck on the first moment when the girl lifted her wet eyes to look at me...
I don't know what I was thinking. I only knew that I would never, ever allow the girl in my arms to die here.
"Let go of me..."
"You are driving me crazy!"
Ignoring the girl's struggling hands, I picked her up from the water, where she writhed like a fish.
Without saying a word, I walked out of the bathroom and threw the girl on the bed.
What should I do to calm this little wildcat?
I tried to communicate with the girl, but my approach was met with hysterical screams. I had to take a few steps back.
The girl was too defensive, like an animal fighting to the death against a hunter. Too bad she doesn't know I'm just trying to help her.
During the brief confrontation, I was able to find time to think.
Why is this girl here?
All the clues point to the fact that it was Mark's fault.
I had heard that Mark would tease some pretty girls, but I didn't think he would go so far. Even reluctant girls he had to use tricks to capture.
I know exactly what an asshole my son is, and I've heard of all the scandalous things Mark has done. I tried to stop it, but sometimes the so-called "victims" are self-indulgent. They want Mark's money and are willing to trade their young bodies for profit.
But this young girl in front of me is clearly different. I can easily figure out what Mark thinks of her.
Clean, pure, pathetic, weak, and easily aroused the sadistic desires of others.
Like a lamb to the slaughter.
Oh no, I can't over-associate anymore.
"Don't worry, Mark won't hurt..."
The girl screamed at the name "Mark" at the beginning of the sentence.
I sighed.
Just now, outside that door, I thought that my son could be saved, that our relationship could be fixed, but now...
Sure enough, it's time for me to discipline Mark.
I changed my approach, and instead of talking or walking up to the girl to frighten her, I first looked around the room to see if there was anything I could use.
Although my son rarely came home, I did my part as a father. I furnished his room with everything, including a medical kit for trauma.
I retrieved the antiseptic alcohol and bandages. Looking toward the bed, the frightened, frail young girl was sunken into the large, soft bed, curled up unconsciously.
It looked like she was in a semi-conscious state.
- Arthur's POV -I tried to step forward and gently put my hand on the girl's shoulder.The shoulder under the palm cowered for a moment, and then there was no major resistance to the action.I let out a long, inaudible breath. She finally stopped fussing.Looking at that overly youthful face, I suddenly did not know how to start.She seems to be such a fragile girl. Where does she get such desperate and ruthless energy? Perhaps under her fragile appearance hides a tough soul.I pulled up the bed sheet for the girl to wipe her wet hair. Gently wipe from the forehead to behind the ear. I didn't even realize that my actions were considerate and soft.I haven't shown my gentleness to any female since my mate died 18 years ago.After treating the wound on her forehead, I tore the girl's white T-shirt and prepared to treat the injuries on her shoulder and elbow. The girl was shivering all the time, but she just didn't have the strength to struggle.As I expected, the girl fell very badly.
- Arthur's POV - The girl was possessed with a thirst for water. She could not hold back for a moment. Seeing a drop of water on my thumb, she reached out the tip of her tongue to lick it. The moist red tongue was like the wicked snake that seduced Eve. It made people fall, and it could not be avoided. She sucked my weakest, sensitive palm gently. My head was in a fog. My hand was out of control. The glass fell with a dull thud. I shivered at the noise and hurried down to pick up the glass. I didn't expect the girl on the edge of the bed to fall over limply, and I hurried to hold her shoulders steady again. "I'm so thirsty..." The girl had completely embraced me as her savior, as if all her needs could be met here. "I'm so thirsty... I want more..." I unconsciously rolled my Adam's apple, "I, I'll go get you some water...um-" Before the words were out of my mouth, suddenly, there was a hot licking sensation on my Adam's apple. It turned out that I had long been sweating unkno
- Crystal's POV -Alpha Arthur is pretty tall, he's probably over 6 feet. He is already much taller than the average male werewolf, and when it comes to me, it's like a mountain standing in front of me.I am a genetically defective omega, I am slender and thin, and I look small compared to omega's of my age, let alone with Arthur.The top of my head only reached Arthur's abdomen, and one of his palms could wrap around my entire shoulder.A sense of oppression naturally generated by the physical disparity came over me, and I panicked from the bottom of my heart. Even my voice turned shrill."Let go of me!"Alpha Arthur was silent for a moment, gently letting go of his hand and taking a step back."I'm sorry about last night.""Don't say it!"I wanted to find a needle and stab myself through the eardrums so that I wouldn't have to hear what he was saying.I didn't want to remember anything related to last night at all, let alone the fact that I had taken it upon myself to tempt him to p
- Crystal's POV -Mark didn't come to school for a whole month after that.I didn't ask around, but I did hear that Mark seemed to have been grounded by his father.Everyone knew that Mark's father was Alpha Arthur, and they guessed that Alpha Arthur must be a very strict and scary person.However, my impression was that he was a soft-spoken, elegant gentleman. Although I hated him for taking away my virginity, I must admit that he was a patient and cultured man.Since that incident, I have been more silent than ever. Wherever I went, I kept my head down and never looked anyone in the eye.My classmates were used to my reticence, and they all thought that my change was due to the public rejection by my mate. No one cared about me.During this period of time, I went to the library after school as usual. I didn't go to see Emily again.But I didn't expect that a month later, Emily would come to me on her own initiative."Emily! What's wrong with you?"Looking at the crying Emily in fron
- Crystal's POV -One of them, with his strong hand, grabbed my arm that Mark was holding on to.I looked at the two bodyguards up close and realized that they were taller and stronger than I thought, so what should I do if they were going to help Mark?Suddenly, the force on my wrist loosened, and my hand was actually released.I looked over in surprise, only to see that both bodyguards were holding Mark's left and right hands, respectively, and actually looked like they were stopping him."Mark, Alpha doesn't want you to bully others."I was stunned. These two men...they weren't arranged to protect Mark, but to monitor him?These two men were just too powerful. The muscles under their clothes looked bigger than even Mark's head.Mark couldn't break away, his face was red with anger."I'm not bullying her! Can't I just talk to my classmates? My dad didn't say I'm not allowed to chat with my classmates!"I saw the two bodyguards turn their attention to me simultaneously, as if inquiri
- Crystal's POV -The memories hidden in the depths were hooked up little by little. On that wild night, there was also such a hand stroking my body, and even penetrating my private parts, stirring my heartbeat.The news video was still playing on the screen, and Alpha Arthur tried out other new weapons.The other weapons were much more violent than the gun. But Alpha Arthur seems to be very familiar with every category of weapon.When he jumped down from the tank, all his wildness was released at that moment, as if the calm and composure earlier were a disguise, and his nature was possessive and dominant.The sunlight wrapped around his whole body. All of our eyes were drawn to Alpha Arthur's sculpted, gorgeous face.He was using a monocular, with his other eye closed, and his thick lashes cast a large dark shadow across his high nose.None of us knew what he saw, and his tightly pursed lips suddenly curled up in a charming smile.The video ends, and everything falls silent. But Alph
- Crystal's POV -Putting the phone down, I realized what a crazy thing I had just done.What did I say? Oh my God, what did I say? How dare I be so bold!But, if I didn't, I wouldn't have the money for the operation.I had no way out.An operation of this magnitude can cost millions. Even if I had the patience to save up slowly, the baby in my belly couldn't wait too long.I didn't wait at the door of the dorm. I knew no one would open the door for me, so I walked down to the bottom of the building.- The Third's POV -Shortly after Crystal's figure disappeared down the hallway, the door of the dorm opened a crack.A head poked out to take a look, then retracted and said, "Hey, that bitch left."The dormitory burst into laughter, and Zara's laughter was particularly loud."Hahahahahaha, that damn poor bastard. She deserves it! She's always against us. This time we just denied her entry. Next time we'll throw her stuff out!"The others laughed along with her, and suddenly one of them
- Crystal's POV -When I heard Arthur's reminder, I realized I was blocking the car door. I blushed and hurriedly got out of the car.Standing next to Arthur, I was as shaky as ever. I didn't even dare to raise my head on the way, just staring at the hem of his shirt.After taking off his suit, Arthur's back looked much more approachable.The dressed-up Arthur who appeared on the news earlier was too perfect.It is only suitable for watching and looking up from afar, not for getting along.Of course, even with just his shirt on, he didn't exactly blend in with the ordinary people. Even with his face blocked, his impressive aura and physique likewise made him stand out far from the rest."Am I intimidating?" Arthur, who was sitting across the table ordering food, asked, "You haven't looked up at me."We were already sitting in the booth, surrounded by silence, nothing but the dulcet sound of violins.It was for this reason that Arthur had taken the mask off his face, and the eye-catchi
- Crystal's POV -I apologized to Arthur again, "I'm sorry...I should have trusted you...""You don't need to apologize. I should have explained it to you ahead of time. I'm sorry for scaring you."I was suddenly tempted to ask him if the actress was his ex-wife. But then I thought about the day Arthur got mad at me for that photo. I dismissed that plan.I've doubted Arthur twice today. Once because of Mark's words and once because of a video.I really am a terrible girlfriend. I don't trust my lover.I don't deserve to be Arthur's wife.After almost half an hour, Doctor Smith arrived with a medical kit."Alpha! Sorry, I'm late!" Doctor Smith panted.Arthur turned his head to look at the doctor and said, "It's fine, it's not a big injury.""Doctor Smith, come and check it out!" I was so excited to see the doctor. I was more anxious than Arthur.After an initial examination, Doctor Smith had Arthur make a fist and then told him to drop it."Not much of a problem. None of the tendons or
- Crystal's POV -I pushed open the door to the study. As soon as I entered, the odor of books filled the room.Five large bookcases stuffed with books on philosophy, economics, military, and management. Every book looks old.I took down a few random books and saw handwritten annotations in each one.It seems Arthur could become the most famous Alpha by virtue of his hard work and erudition.Seeing so many books made my heart settle down a little.I've heard that the books one has read will melt into his bones, blood, and thoughts.You can basically assume what kind of person that person is by what kind of books he likes to read.These books show signs of having been read, and Arthur would have read them all. Maybe he couldn't remember all the contents of the books. But such focus and perseverance make him an amazing leader.Why wouldn't I trust a knowledgeable and courteous Arthur, but rather doubt Arthur after hearing a few words from asshole Mark?I shouldn't have doubted Arthur.I
- Crystal's POV -It's only been a day since I moved into the villa, and I have a lot of doubts building up in my mind.Maybe I was really too stupid to figure it out.A lot of things were not exactly what I expected.My original life was full of thorns and sometimes rainstorms and earthquakes, so I stopped moving forward to try to get a brief moment of ease under the shelter of Arthur. But life isn't easy for me now, either.I felt something invisible, soft, and dense surrounding me, gradually shrinking and tightening.I'm like prey falling into a spider's web. I am a little out of breath.Getting out of the car, I said goodbye to the chauffeur and walked into the school gates.I was in a very unassuming car, so I didn't realize at all that I was already being watched.Emily watched me get out of the car, and I noticed her but pretended not to see.I wouldn't forgive her for her betrayal. I knew she was the one who helped Mark trick me into going to KTV.During the five minutes betwe
- Crystal's POV -At night, I sat on my bed after a shower and read a book.I was losing sleep. I couldn't get used to the strange room and bed.As I read, I vaguely heard strange sounds that seemed to be coming from downstairs.Like someone in excruciating pain was holding back a suppressed moan.Was it the wind? Or is it really someone?If it was someone, who could it be?It's almost eleven o'clock at night. The servants were all asleep. Was Arthur back?I got out of bed, grabbed my cell phone, and walked to the door, gently turning the knob.Just as I unlocked it, someone suddenly crashed through the door and lunged at me."Ah-"I shrieked out in shock while the one who fell on top of me cried out in pain, "Give me the medicine..."As soon as I heard it was a familiar voice, I quickly stabilized him, and sure enough, it was Arthur."Alpha! What's wrong with you?"Arthur reeked of alcohol. He frowned tightly, holding one hand over his stomach and pressing his lips together."Stomach
- Crystal's POV -Without waiting for me to answer, Zara hastily said, "Mine!"Then she clutched up her dried seaweed-like smelly socks and shrank away."The washbasin...""I don't want this washbasin," I said, turning to pack my luggage.Zara and the other roommates looked at each other in disbelief, no one knowing what was going on."Lady, you don't need to do it yourself. We'll pack it for you."All the maids pulled out their gloves and put them on in unison, and took out their prepared boxes and bags in a well-trained manner.I hesitantly looked at my things, "But...""Don't worry, lady. We can tell which things are yours. We promise to pack them back in one piece at a time, and then you can choose which ones to keep and which to discard."As we spoke, the other maids were already in motion, some folding my quilt, some bagging my clothes, and some encapsulating my shoes and placing them in a separate box.It was really easy to tell what I had. Basically, the cleanest things in the
- Crystal's POV - The next day, I poked my head out from under the covers in a daze, and before I could open my eyes, there was a sudden soft kiss on my forehead. I was instantly awake, and when I raised my eyes, a magnified, handsome face appeared up close. Arthur hadn't woken up yet and kissed me while he was still asleep. After he kissed me, he fumbled with one hand and rubbed my hair, then pushed my head back into his chest. My cheek pressed against his bare skin. I could see clearly that we were both naked under the covers. I blush as I think back to what we did last night. Even though...we didn't really have sex last night because of the baby, but...it was basically no different than having sex. He'd kissed and touched me and licked me in the most intimate places all over my body. I was too shy to stay any longer and just wanted to get out of there, or at least get out of the covers first. But I'd barely started to move when both of Arthur's arms tightened around me. "Slee
- Arthur's POV -"Good evening, Alpha."I had just reached the door to my room on the second floor when the personal physician who had finished examining Crystal happened to be out the door. He saw me and greeted me.I nodded, "Doctor Smith, how did the exam go? Any problems?"Doctor Smith glanced sideways at Crystal in the room, who was half-sitting on the bed. She still looks scared and upset."Checked, no major physical problems, no injuries to the belly. So the baby is safe. It's just that she's in quite a bit of shock and is very emotionally unstable. It's recommended that she recuperates for a while from now on.""Okay, thank you, Crystal's health will be in your care in the future."I finished and tried to walk into the room when the physician suddenly called out to me."Alpha, one more thing..."My heart skipped a beat, "What's up? Is it about Crystal?"The physician said with a nod, "Crystal has ingested some aphrodisiacs. Although it's only a small amount, the effect of the
- Crystal's POV -Mark was fuming to pry my teeth open. Again and again, he launched his attack, and again and again, my teeth blocked it back. He grew more and more irate and smashed the glass jug into the corner of my mouth. I think it must have bruised." BANG!"With a sudden loud bang, the door of the KTV shook violently, scaring everyone to a halt.The few people present looked at each other in disbelief, no one knowing exactly who was slamming the door."What's going on?"They didn't let go of me, there were a few more loud bangs on the door, and before long, the door was kicked open. Several amazingly fit, muscular men entered in order.Everyone was dumbfounded and looked at Mark, "Mark, are these people the bodyguards you called in..."Before they could finish their sentence, those big strong men suddenly rushed up like leopards.I only saw a few black shadows swaying in front of me, and then I heard the sound of bones breaking.The two people holding me down let out a miserab
- Crystal's POV -The next day.When it was time for my meeting with Emily, I went to the appointed place early.Emily said we'd meet at 8 PM, but I'm a very punctual guy. No matter what the meeting is, I always used to arrive half an hour early.Today's meeting was significant, so I arrived almost an hour early.Emily told me to wait in front of the Moonlight Bar. But my nerdy outfit obviously didn't match the style of the bar. People passing by always gave me a look.I was uncomfortable by the look, so I shrunk to a corner. Pay close attention to Emily's figure.After waiting for a long time, I didn't see Emily's figure, but a creepy voice came to my ears."You can have fun today. Let's be clear: I'll play first, as usual. I'll play until I'm satisfied, and then it's your turn. Also, remember to wear a condom. Don't mess it up all at once."That's, that's Mark's voice!I was terrified. It was almost eight o'clock, and Emily was coming over. How did Mark happen to be here?A few jerk
