Harrison's POVOn a night with a full moon, I returned to my old home according to the rules and had dinner with my mother, Blair.Although I had been dependent on my mother, Blair, before coming of age, our relationship had become distant since I took over The Dark Night Pack by violent means, slaying the elder council leader, imprisoning other important members, and establishing myself as the Alpha through forceful methods.I was well aware that my mother, Blair, as the former Luna of The Dark Night Pack, always upheld the traditions of the pack.She considered the overthrow of the elder council through violence and the creation of a new rule to be against tradition.Even though I was her own son, her heart was still filled with disapproval. Especially when it came to my years of being Alpha without announcing a Luna candidate, she was very discontent.This not only went against the customs of The Dark Night Pack but was also quite irregular in the entire werewolf world.As expected
Kayla's POV"So, this is why you came back?" Harrison squeezed out a cold laugh from his throat, "Because you found a wealthier man?"Harrison's icy gaze felt like an invisible blade, piercing into my flesh. I instinctively took a few steps back, my weak hands bracing against the stone wall behind me to steady myself.When did I become a gold digger in Harrison's eyes?With that thought, I straightened my posture, forcing myself to appear composed. But as I spoke, my voice trembled uncontrollably."Harrison, I know I was wrong six years ago. I came back because there was something important I needed to do. Once I've taken care of it, I'll explain everything to you..."Perhaps triggered by my mention of six years ago, Harrison interrupted me with anger."Something important? Like selling yourself?"Harrison's deep eyes, in the midst of this night's darkness, seemed to be burning with two clusters of dark green flames."No wonder you refused to be Kelowna's mistress. After all, with his
Kayla's POVBased on the business card Harrison provided, I started searching online for information about Charlin Children’s Cross Hospital and the specialist, Joshua Ferrera.It turned out to be a private hospital dedicated to treating pediatric illnesses. The facility was equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment and treatment tools, and almost every doctor there was a top-notch expert in their field. They not only boasted extensive clinical experience but also had their own research teams and laboratories.And this Dr. Joshua Ferrera was a medical doctor specializing in congenital heart diseases, having successfully treated numerous cases like Daisy's.As I perused the information about Joshua Ferrera, seeing his success stories in treating children's heart conditions, my hands trembled with excitement. However, before my joy could fully blossom, the exorbitant fees and the stringent appointment process of the hospital poured a bucket of cold water on the tiny flame of h
Kayla's POVTwo days later, it was my first day at work. I deliberately woke up early, dropped my daughter off at a nearby daycare, and then took a bus to the downtown magazine office.This magazine's headquarters were based in Europe, and this branch in Gorden City was established to tap into the American market.Therefore, the number of employees in the magazine was not substantial. Including me, there were about twenty people in total.At nine in the morning, the editor-in-chief of the magazine, Lilian, appeared punctually. With her striking short red hair, she briskly urged all the staff members to gather in the company's meeting room for the first meeting."After multiple discussions within the board of directors, we've decided to use the name 'Dawn,' leveraging the international influence of Dawn Magazine to boost the recognition of our magazine and quickly become a prominent name in Gorden City," Lilian said, shifting from her brief self-introduction to discussing the new compa
Kayla's POVAs I hadn't prepared spare clothes and didn't want to waste work time, I decided not to change out of my wet shirt.I put on my coat and fastened the buttons tightly to conceal the large coffee stain on my chest. It was uncomfortable, but at least I maintained my composure.In the afternoon, Lilian once again gathered the editors for a discussion on the upcoming theme on the magazine cover."I understand that as a fashion magazine, our themes should revolve around fashion. However, being an international metropolis, there are already numerous fashion magazines in Gorden City. It's challenging to come up with new content. If we start with a mundane topic, our precious debut opportunity will be wasted. That's why this theme—"Lilian paused, pointing at the line of text in the center of PowerPoint, her voice resolute."The Golden Bachelor—""This theme not only appeals to our most important female readers but also generates significant buzz. Now, what I need from all of you i
Kayla's POVOn the first afternoon of my new job, I sat in front of the computer, continuously searching for information about Harrison. I couldn't believe I was using this method to learn about his experiences over the past six years.Just as mentioned in the meeting, Harrison rarely gave interviews.The scattered information related to him circulating on the internet was nothing more than exaggerated bits of gossip.They discussed topics like what high-end fashion he wore at events or his rumored girlfriends.I aimlessly scrolled my mouse until one headline caught all of my attention."Why Has Harrison Not Announced His Luna Since Becoming Alpha? The Shocking Truth Revealed!"Almost involuntarily, I clicked on it."As we all know, Harrison Morris has not only never publicly revealed his mate since coming of age but has also refrained from announcing a Luna during his tenure as Alpha of The Dark Night Pack. This movement breaks away from the long-standing traditions of the werewolf w
Kayla's POVSince that day, I hadn't encountered Harrison again. It seemed like he hadn't visited the mansion either. In any case, I had some quiet days, allowing me to focus all my attention on my work.Today, I arrived at the office on time as usual. Before I could even take a seat, Lilian called me into her office.Lilian was dressed in a silver suit, her red hair was still very eye-catching. At that moment, she stood by the desk, pacing nervously."Kayla, you're here," she said upon seeing me enter her office, leaning her hands on the desk and fixing her gaze on me."You know how crucial the interview is for us. Even though you're a new employee, I'm willing to trust you. Do you understand what I mean?"Lilian stared at me intently."I'll do my best," I swallowed nervously."How's your progress?""I've gathered some information. I drafted two versions of the interview outline yesterday. However, I left the documents on my desk. If you need them, I can bring them in for you now."F
Kayla's POV"Amanda... Are you sure this will really get me into Clouds Nine?"Dressed in a sexy maid outfit, I followed Amanda to the building of Clouds Nine. A sudden gust of cold wind lifted the short skirt I was wearing, revealing more than I intended. Whistles came from a few young men across the street.I quickly pressed my back against the wall, one hand over my chest and the other tugging at the skirt."Of course! My friend told me that all the waitstaff are dressed like this tonight.""But isn't this outfit a bit too odd? And I don't think Harrison likes this kind of style..."I muttered softly, feeling that something was off."Shh!"Amanda pretended not to hear my questions. She impatiently hushed me and then raised her hands, waving at a woman who hurriedly approached."Ruby, this is my colleague, Kayla. Kayla, this is my friend, Ruby. She'll be the one sneaking you into Harrison's private party."I listened to Amanda's words while scrutinizing Ruby's attire — a white shirt
Ely's eyes widened in disbelief when Daisy told Ely about Pearl's blind date.Daisy put her hands on her hips and shouted, "go and get her back quickly. I want her to be my sister-in-law. She can't marry anyone else."Ely had no idea why Pearl would go on a blind date.Last week, they were sleeping together.Pearl had refused to see him for some reason this week, but he thought she just needed time to come to terms with the change. He thought he had Pearl, but Pearl was seeing other men.He couldn't accept it. He had to ask for an answer.He grabbed the car keys off the table and ran out.Daisy put her hand to her mouth in the shape of a trumpet and shouted at his back, "Come On!"……Pearl was sitting in a quiet corner of the cafe, listening to the introduction of the young man sitting across from her.This man is an ideal husband. His father is a senior manager at a consulting firm in Seattle, and his mother is a doctor. He is a warm, handsome, gentle Stanford graduate who is now the
"Please go back. My sister doesn't want to see you." Eva's tone was a bit harsh, and she stood at the door, blocking Ely's entry."Eva, please let me in. I have something to say to Pearl," Ely implored Eva. He's obviously not sleeping well, and he's got a little stubble on his chin.Eva, always soft and gentle, looked at Ely, who had taken care of her since childhood, and said angrily, "Don't come looking for my sister! I've never seen her so sad. She's been locked in her room for three days!"Hearing the news, Ely became even more worried. "I was wrong. I want to apologize to her."Ely steps forward, trying to get into the house, but Eva refuses to step aside. "I would never let you in today."Eva turned and ran into the house, locking the door behind her.Ely stood there, looking up at the window in Pearl's room.Her room was dark.What's she doing? Is she crying?Ely tries to break in again, but Ulric calls out behind him, "You're not seeing her today. Please go home."Ely turned.
15 years later,"Have you thought about it?" Ely raised his eyes and asked with a gentle smile. "would you like to bet with me?""Why not? We've been betting all my life, and I hardly ever lose." Pearl sneered at him contemptuously. "But I'll up the ante: If I win, you give me your medical project."Ely remained calm. "Pearl, I don't remember you being interested in a medical project.""Nonsense! Just say whether you bet or not!""I'll bet," Ely laughed. " But I'm going to raise the stakes too.""Say it!""How about a night with me?" Ely, the new Evans CEO, changed his gentle smile, leaned over, and whispered in her ear, "If you lose, sleep with me."Pearl wanted to scratch his face with the fork she was holding. But his face attracted many women in the city crazy, she did not dare to hurt him, only glare at him.Ely smiled with pleasure and waited patiently for her answer."OK," Pearl said, gritting her teeth.She's gonna win.……Pearl came back to the company.After dealing with a f
Pearl was so happy after Gwen gave birth to the twins that she shared the good news with all her friends at school.Every day after school, she would rush out of class, get in her car, put on her seat belt, and say to the driver, "I'm going home to look after my mommy and Carl and Ava."Carl and Eva are the names Pearl gave the newborn babies. She picked them out at the first glance of Ulric's long list of names."Carl, Eva. I like those two names." Pearl doesn't like complicated names."Okay," Ulric touched her head. "You're the big sister now. This is your first successful task: name your little brother and sister."Pearl looked up with pride. She wanted to be a big sister. It would give her a sense of accomplishment.Eva is an introverted, quiet girl. She became Pearl's little tail when she could walk, smiled shyly at Pearl's words, and seldom cried.Pearl was very fond of Eva. She often kissed Eva. "Oh, Eva, you're as cute as a Daddy Doll. I don't want you to grow up. I want you t
After learning that Gwen had fainted, Ulric immediately suspended a meeting with a wealthy Middle Eastern businessman and rushed out of the conference room."Sorry, my wife is in the hospital now."An hour later, Ulric appeared at the door of the hospital room, panting.Gwen has always been a healthy and energetic person, and she rarely fell ill. For as long as Ulric could remember, Gwen only had stomach pains when she ate erratically, but since her stomach had recovered a lot under his care, Ulric couldn't understand why she fainted.Is she sick? And he was such a careless husband that he didn't even notice it."Gwen!" Ulric yelled as he pushed open the door.But there was no one in the room, just Gwen's Hermès bag on the sofa.Ulric's mind was more disturbed, and he wanted to see her now, to make sure she was all right.“There you are.” Gwen's voice rang behind him."Oh, honey, are you okay?" Ulric held her shoulders nervously, his eyes wandering over her body.Gwen looked no differ
Zora is not the only one who is preparing for pregnancy, but also Gwen.Pearl is now 4 years old. She has been a lively and outgoing girl since she was a child and likes to make friends. As long as she plays with her friends, she is willing to share all her toys and likes to kiss her friends.Gwen didn't understand her daughter's behavior. She asked Pearl, "Honey, why did you kiss them?""Because I love them. Daddy loves Mommy, so you kiss every day. I love my friends, and I want to kiss them," said Pearl happily."Well... Pearl, there's a difference between a kiss between me and Your Daddy," said Gwen, holding her forehead."Why?" Pearl looked at her with big, innocent eyes.Gwen was speechless. She didn't know how to explain it to Pearl. Come on, Pearl's just a kid. A kiss between kids is a sign of friendship. She doesn't have to be nervous."You can kiss your friends, but you have to get permission first. If a strange person kisses you, you have to say NO, okay?""Yes, Mommy." Pear
Three years later.Cecil is unhappy these days because he learns from his assistant that there is a man who likes to appear in front of Zora lately.Although Zora and he had gotten married 3 months ago. He had already put a diamond ring on her finger, but he was still nervous whenever a man peeked at Zora.He picked up the information his assistant had gathered about the man and flipped through it carefully.Huh! He remembers this boy called Claude. Four years ago, when Zora first moved to Los Angeles, he asked Zora to watch a game with him. Although he showed up just in time to bring Zora's attention back to him, he still remembered the threat this man brought to him.A sunny, handsome, athletic football quarterback.Both he and Zora have graduated. Zora is now an independent curator, and Claude is a professional football player.Zora had already forgotten about him, but last week his team made a deal with Zora's studio, so the guy named Claude started coming around to Zora under var
Liam sat on the couch, browsing through the report his assistant had sent him before turning off his phone and leaning back on the couch, with his eyes closed.He had to admit that he was getting older. When he was younger, he could lead an army for three days in the desert or rainforest without feeling sleepy, but now his energy was getting worse. After some travel today, he now feels tired.Since the surgery, his body has become weaker. But as special forces general, he would rather die in battle than become an old man who is taken care of.Getting old is a cruel thing for a general.Liam coughed a few times and he pulled out his pocket watch. It was time to take his medicine.He took out a bottle with medicine, read the label the doctor put on it carefully, and then took a few pills.It was in this quiet room that Liam let go of his pride and showed a sense of loneliness and weakness.There was a knock at the door. The sound starts with some urgency, then becomes regular.Liam stra
Ulric's uncle, Liam Rockefeller, came to Los Angeles alone, and he didn't tell Ulric ahead of time.Last year, to defeat Richard, Ulric called him to find help.Even though they hadn't spoken in years, Liam recognized the phone number at first glance. He pressed the answer button, "Hello?""Uncle, this is Ulric," Ulric spoke a little hesitantly, not as decisively as he usually did."I know, is there anything I can do to help?" Liam changed his old authoritarian and angry voice to a gentle one. He knew Ulric must be in a difficult situation, otherwise, he wouldn't have called him, especially since he was so proud."I have a good friend, you know, Vince, who has been in trouble lately," Ulric said.Ulric and Vince grew up together in New York, and Liam knew Vince and liked him a lot."Oh, that guy, what's wrong?" Liam frowned. If there was one thing that Ulric and Vince couldn't solve, it had to be tricky. Oh, God, he hoped the two lads wouldn't suffer.Ulric had told his uncle what hap
