Luisa’s POVAs soon as I walked in, before even having a chance to kick off my high heels, I suddenly heard an elderly voice behind me, questioning."You've been shopping again?"I turned around, looking at my husband's tired face, a hint of disgust crossing my mind."Yes, Alexander, as you know, our daughter Rebecca has been invited to attend her first gala as a model next month, and I need to prepare an eye-catching outfit for her."With a standard smile, I walked over to Alexander's side, my fingers gliding over his shoulder."After all, Rebecca is your daughter, and she represents the Obsidian Pack, so...""How does Rebecca represent the Obsidian Pack?"Alexander sneered sarcastically and he shouted at me."I am the Alpha of the Obsidian Pack! That means only I can represent the Obsidian Pack! You take Rebecca to social events every day, and you think you represent our pack? Dream on! Oh, by the way, I have another daughter, Kayla. If one day you two anger me, I can call Kayla hom
Kayla's POVAfter Nathan left with those cryptic words, he disappeared from my life. I tried to call him, but my calls were never answered.Even when I asked my colleagues at work about Nathan's whereabouts, they only told me that he had taken a six-month leave from the company, citing personal reasons, after speaking with Lilian.However, Nathan's absence wasn't the only mystery. Harrison had also vanished without a trace. After Daisy woke up from her surgery, Harrison sent Rick to the hospital to check on her condition.I still remember that day vividly.The hospital was surrounded by hundreds of bodyguards who meticulously inspected every room, ensuring the hospital's security. TThen, a group of well-trained nutritionists and nannies followed Rick into Daisy's room. Rick inquired about Daisy's condition from Dr. Ferrera, and once he was assured that Daisy had no lasting effects and only needed rest, he relaxed. He mentioned that he was going to report to Harrison and, before leavi
Kayla's POVUnder the cover of the dark and pouring rain, I returned to The Obsidian Pack.I halted my steps in front of Alpha's house. Staring at the red mansion that held memories of my childhood and adolescence, a bitter feeling welled up within me.I had played hide-and-seek with my mother in the garden of this house, and I had sat in my father's lap in the study, listening to him read stories to me.But now, six years later, I have not only lost my mother but also the home that once provided me with infinite warmth.I composed my emotions and schooled my expression before once again stepping into this familiar yet unfamiliar place."You're back, good," Alexander said as he sat regally in the center of the living room, a self-satisfied look on his face."Have a seat. I have something to discuss with you.""I think I'll stand," I coldly refused Alexander's meager hospitality, standing firm and setting myself in opposition to him.Alexander's smile disappeared, replaced by a disdain
Amber's POV"I haven't been able to reach Kayla for two days now. Peter, what if something has happened to her?"Carefully closing the door to the hospital room to avoid waking the sleeping Daisy, I led Peter to the corridor outside."Kayla is an adult. She knows what she's doing. Don't worry too much," Peter replied, without even looking up from his phone.Seeing my husband's indifferent demeanor, I gave him an annoyed glare."But she's also a mother to a child! Don't forget, Daisy just had surgery! If it were you, would you go for two whole days without caring for your child?"Perhaps sensing my frustration, Peter finally closed his phone and toned down his earlier nonchalant attitude."Okay, sweetheart, I admit you have a point. Let's rewind to the night she left. What did Kayla say to you on the phone?""Um... Kayla told me that her father summoned her as an Alpha, so she had to return to the Pack immediately..."I strained to recall the details of my conversation with Kayla on th
Harrison's POVMy thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the roar of a car engine from below.I stood by the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor, watching as Peter drove an unfamiliar sports car into the courtyard and parked it in front of the villa.Peter got out of the car, casually tossed the keys to a hurriedly approaching valet, and waved up at me."Hey, Harrison! Do you mind my sudden visit?""Is this your new car?"I ignored Peter's jest and glanced at the brand-new red Ferrari behind him.However, I quickly averted my gaze."Yeah, it's a limited edition, only five in the world. What do you think? Do you like it?""No need. I'm not a fan of such flashy styles."I declined Peter's attempt at camaraderie without hesitation and continued to inquire, "What's the matter?""In fact, today, I didn't come to see you. It's my wife—"Peter turned his head and snapped his fingers in the direction of the sports car. "Come on down, Amber!""Amber?"I watched as Amber, dressed in Chan
Alexander's POV"What's going on? Why is there so much noise outside?!"I was awoken from a peaceful sleep, hastily putting on my robe and following the guiding light into the living room.I asked the soldiers standing in the corner."Al-Alpha..." One of them stammered."Speak up! Why are you trembling?!" I furrowed my brow, impatiently scrutinizing the trembling man.My anger grew as I considered that all my warriors seemed to be like this. They behaved like cowards. How was I supposed to win a war with them?Well, tomorrow I would have to personally visit the underground and persuade Kayla to agree to my conditions."Al-Alpha, there's... there's a guest."One of the slightly braver men answered me, his gaze constantly shifting towards the center of the living room, as if something there terrified him immensely."A guest? Who would come for a visit in the middle of the night?"I grumbled in annoyance, and as I turned my gaze to the center of the room, the person seated on the couch s
Kayla’s POV"I've never understood why you're always so stubborn, Kayla."Rebecca stood in front of me, looking down at me with superiority, as I remained imprisoned by iron chains."Last time at the Kelowna's party, you were the same way. Father and mother kindly provided you with an opportunity to marry a wealthy man, but you not only failed to appreciate it, you also pretended to be a victim and used that to seduce Harrison. You offended Kelowna, making The Obsidian Pack a laughingstock in our social circle! Do you know that because of your actions that night, I couldn't attend any social events for almost a week?"Listening to Rebecca's hysterics, I couldn't help but find it laughable."Oh? So the biggest setback you've faced in your life is not being able to attend social events for a week?"The sarcasm in my tone was quickly noticed by Rebecca.She glared at me with malice and suddenly raised her hand, delivering a resounding slap to my cheek.Smack—Perhaps it was due to Rebecc
Kayla’s POV"Harrison..." I widened my eyes in astonishment as Harrison, dressed in black, approached me in the darkness."Harrison?" Rebecca's surprised expression turned to one of fear.Her raised hand remained suspended in the air until Harrison stood in front of her, and only then did she finally react, toning down her previous arrogance and haughtiness."Harrison, I... How did you suddenly appear here?""Perhaps I overheard someone mentioning my name," Harrison said, smirking coldly, his deep eyes filled with icy intent."You..." Rebecca nervously stammered. "What else did you hear?""I also heard you say you wanted to be my Luna, didn't I?""I..." Rebecca's face turned instantly red, and she appeared shy like a young girl. "I didn't know you were here, Harrison. You... don't mind, do you?""What do you think?"Before Rebecca could react, Harrison's tone had already grown cold."A woman like you isn't even worthy of the lowest-ranking wolf in The Dark Night Pack! How dare you har
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
