Kayla's POV"Michael must be getting old and losing his mind to even consider Donald Rufus as a candidate for the Alpha position!"Harrison and I sat side by side in the car, and I patiently listened to Harrison express his disdain and contempt for Donald using various derogatory words."If it weren't for Peter and Michael, I would have dug out his eyes the moment he cast his filthy, lecherous gaze on you today, just to make him understand what provoking a real Alpha would lead to!""Relax, Harrison."I held Harrison's hand and leaned closer to him. "Don't let scum like him jeopardize the peace between you and the Rufus family. It's not worth it.""I know." Under my words, Harrison calmed down a bit."Now, I'm more curious about what kind of people could embolden Donald Rufus like that.""Well..."For some reason, I suddenly had an image of Elizabeth's exquisite yet icy face in my mind.Harrison noticed the change in my expression. He looked at me and asked, "What are you thinking?""
Kayla's POV "Harrison!" I followed Harrison into his room, stumbling and breathless. Leaning against the wall, I gazed at the expressionless Harrison. "What did you just do? Blair is still..." "She won't trouble you anymore." Harrison took a step closer, gently tucking a strand of hair that had fallen onto my forehead behind my ear. "I promise you." "But I didn't argue with her just to make you kick her out, Harrison." Though the conflict between Blair and me couldn't be resolved, I didn't want Harrison to distance himself from his mother because of me. "I know." The room was dimly lit, allowing me to notice a glimmer of moisture in Harrison's deep eyes."The decision to remove my mother is not only to protect you, Kayla, but also for my own sake." Harrison's tone was heavy. “Before you brought Daisy back into my life, I always felt like my mother was my only family. So, even though I saw her bowing down to the Elder Council, even though she defied my decisions as an Alpha c
Kayla's POV"Mom." Daisy walked up to me with quick steps and tugged at my dress."What's wrong, sweetheart?" I put down the book in my hands, looking at my daughter, whose face was filled with curiosity, ready to face her questions."Did you have a fight with Nathan, Mom?" But this question caught me off guard. I froze for a moment until Daisy shook my hand, finally reacting.I ruffled Daisy's little head and asked back, "Of course not. Why would you think that, honey?""Because I haven't seen Nathan for a very, very long time..." Daisy pouted, showing a rare look of grievance. "And he hasn't even called me. Mom, does Nathan not like me anymore, so he's not contacting me?""Of course not." I smiled to reassure my daughter. "Nathan likes you the most! The reason he hasn't visited for a long time is that we moved to this place, and it's not convenient for Nathan to come in.""Really?" Daisy tilted her head, her round eyes scrutinizing my expression as if trying to discern the truth
Kayla's POVNathan immediately released me, his face showing surprise. "What are you doing here?""Isn't that the question I should be asking?" I brushed the dust off my clothes, a hint of annoyance in my tone. "You nearly scared me to death!""Sorry, Kayla." Nathan gave me an apologetic smile. "I thought it was... Anyway, Kayla, you haven't answered my question. Didn't you tell me before that you were planning to move with Daisy? Where are you living now?""Well, at a friend's place." I still remembered the tension between Nathan and Harrison, so I evaded the question with a vague response."What about you, Nathan? You disappeared for so long. What happened?""It's a long story."In the darkness, I heard Nathan sigh deeply. Just when I thought he might change the subject, I heard his voice again, this time filled with determination and openness."You already know, don't you?"I immediately realized what Nathan was referring to, but I remained silent and didn't answer.When I didn't r
Kayla's POVDespite Rick's efforts to maximize the speed on the return journey, when we finally arrived at The Dark Night Pack, Harrison was already seated on the sofa in the living room, casting questioning glances at me as I hurriedly entered the villa."Where did you go?"I looked into Harrison's eyes, unable to discern any emotion, and earnestly replied, "Westminster's villa."To prevent Harrison from further inquiries, I explained, "Last time, Daisy and I left the villa in such a hurry that we forgot many things, so I asked Rick to drive me back for a quick trip..."However, my explanation did not dispel Harrison's suspicions.He calmly listened to my explanation, then set down his glass and casually glanced at me."What's so important?""Well..."As I observed the wariness in Harrison's eyes, I realized he would never easily allow me to gloss over matters concerning Nathan. At the same time, I had also promised Nathan not to reveal his and The Blue Blood Pack's secrets to anyone
Kayla's POVAlthough the passing servants, upon seeing Harrison and me nestled in his embrace, instinctively lowered their heads, I still blushed uncontrollably. I kept praying for this journey to the bedroom to be shorter."Here we are."As if hearing my thoughts, the next second, Harrison's voice, filled with a playful tone, echoed in my ears.Harrison carried me into his bedroom, and within a split second of turning around, he kicked the bedroom door closed with his foot.Observing my flushed face, Harrison teased, "You look like you're about to catch fire, sweetheart."I shot Harrison a glare. "And whose fault is that?""Okay, my bad."Harrison chuckled lightly, making a surrendering gesture. "I have an idea that might help you.""What... Ah!"Unexpectedly, Harrison lifted me again. But this time, he strode purposefully toward the direction of the bathroom."What are you trying to do... Harrison!"Before I could react, Harrison placed me into the bathtub, and then he turned on the
Harrison's POV"I heard from my grandfather that you took Kayla to my family a few days ago. Why didn't you let me know in advance?"Peter's voice preceded his figure as he entered my study, moving faster than his shadow.I looked up, watching Peter, dressed in a refined and elegant suit, stride into my room. Clearly, he had rushed over from some social event immediately upon receiving my call."Did you happen to run into that b.astard Donald? He didn't do anything out of line, did he?"At the mention of Donald, Peter's face still wore that contemptuous expression, as if merely uttering the name had tainted his noble lips."I came to visit your grandfather Michael, so I didn't tell you. As for Donald Rufus, well."Although Michael, being my elder in terms of age, deserved a more respectful address, it was normal for me, as an Alpha, to refer to him by name. As for Donald Rufus, I snorted, expressing my attitude toward him with a disdainful sound."Visit him? Isn't that quite sudden?"
Nathan's POV"I have reminded you many times, Elizabeth."Watching the woman sitting across from me with a proud expression, my tone couldn't help but lower."When you go out, remember to dress more casually to avoid arousing suspicion.""Oh, you mean, dress more like a commoner so that I can better conceal my identity, right?"Elizabeth took off her sunglasses, casting a disdainful glance at me."I'm sorry, as a member of The Blue Blood Pack, I am destined to be distinguished from those commoners. Changing my attire won't easily achieve that.""But you..."Before I could finish my sentence, Elizabeth interrupted me, showing impatience in her face."Did you call me here today because my Alpha has new orders?"I stared into Elizabeth's eyes. There was no warmth in her gaze, as if I were just another commoner in her eyes."No, Elizabeth."I responded with a sardonic smile. "Your Alpha has no new instructions. I called you here to inquire about the progress of your mission. Tell me, Eliz
