Kayla's POVBecause it had been a while since I'd been home, a thin layer of dust had settled on the windowsills of the Westminster mansion.Considering Daisy had just recovered from surgery, and I hadn't yet figured out how to broach the topic of moving with her, I took out Daisy's favorite teddy bear from the luggage and handed it to her."There's too much dust at home, Mom needs to clean up a bit first. Daisy, can you sit in the living room and play with your teddy bear for a while?""Okay, Mom."Daisy blinked and obediently started playing with the teddy bear.I went into the bedroom and began tidying up our luggage.However, before long, Daisy appeared in front of me again, looking at me with pleading eyes."Mom, Teddy's ball fell.""Mom's busy right now, Daisy. Can you be a good girl and try to pick up the ball yourself?""But the ball fell under the floor, and I couldn't reach it."Faced with my refusal, Daisy pouted and showed me the empty hands of her teddy bear."Under the f
Nathan's POVI had never felt such a bone-chilling cold in my life. Living in the temperate climate of Europe for so long has almost made me lose the ability to adapt to extreme cold.I stared at the reflection of myself in the icy wall, trying to minimize my breath, trapping the heat within my body.When I felt prepared, I took a deep breath and attempted to remove my clothing once more.That's when my pocket vibrated. It was a call from Kayla.I hesitated, staring at the name I had longed to see countless times. However, this time, I couldn't bring myself to hang up immediately as I had done before.I wasn't sure if I would live to see the sun rise tomorrow.With that thought, I let go of my inner struggle and answered the call."Kayla.""Nathan! Thank goodness you finally answered the phone! I'm at the house right now..."Hearing her voice again was like a ray of sunlight warming me. I couldn't help but curve my lips into a smile.I even felt my nearly numb limbs thawing in the fre
Nathan's POVI stripped off my clothes, standing stark-naked on the icy tundra.Closing my eyes, I called upon my wolf. A searing sensation burned through my organs, and as I opened my eyes, I shifted into a wolf.The enormous tundra wolf had long left her den. In this icy expanse, her pristine white fur was her perfect camouflage.I cautiously began searching for her tracks, aided by my keen sense of smell, detecting the foul scent emitted by the giant beast's breath from behind.I swiftly dodged to the side just as Storm's massive claws and the howling arctic wind brushed past my face.Amid the gasps of the onlookers, I evaded Storm's first ambush.As Alpha's pet, the tundra wolf was virtually at the top of the food chain and had never encountered a wolf as agile as me.She let out a furious roar, abandoning her stealthy approach, attempting to pounce on me directly with her massive size and incredible strength.But having already seen through her intentions, I reacted quickly, util
Kayla's POVI stood there, staring blankly at the now-ended phone call on the screen, feeling a wave of unease wash over me."Mom! It's time!" Daisy's childish voice interrupted my worry.I hurriedly gathered the scattered documents, returned everything to its original state, and started searching for the spherical ornament of Teddy Bear decorations in the corner of the basement.Fortunately, the basement was not very spacious, and I quickly found the bright little ball among the piles of clutter."Mom will be up in a moment."I put the small ball into my pocket, and I went up the stairs back to the villa, resealing the basement hatch."Found it, your little ball. Here you go!"I smiled and handed the ball to my daughter."Thank you, Mom!"Daisy looked up and gave me a sweet smile."Mom, why are you packing again? Are you going on a business trip again? Can I come with you this time?"Perhaps the last separation left Daisy with unpleasant memories. As soon as she saw the suitcase in t
Simon's POVIn the early morning, I knocked on the door to the bedroom with a tray of breakfast in my hands."Rebecca, are you awake? I brought you some breakfast."Her response was still an angry shout, typical of a young girl. "Go away! I don't want to eat!""But you haven't had any meal for days."I didn't leave but rather called out to the door with some concern, "You should eat something, Rebecca! I heard you like salmon sandwiches, so I prepared one for you..."Before I could finish my sentence, the heavy wooden door in front of me suddenly swung open. Rebecca stood before me, her eyes filled with anger and sadness."I don't care who told you I like salmon sandwiches, but from today onwards, salmon sandwiches are the last thing I want!""Well, that's okay. I can prepare something else for you. How about seafood linguine? Or..."I tried to be patient with my fiancée, but it was clear that Rebecca was not appreciative of my patience. In her eyes, there was still only anger."I've
Rebecca's POVKnock, knock, knock.Once again, the bedroom door was knocked on.I raised my head and yelled loudly toward the door, "Go away! I don't want to see your ugly face!""Oh, Rebecca, you misunderstood. I'm Olivia, Russell's niece. I came to visit you today.""I don't care who you are! I just want to be alone!"The outside of the door quickly fell silent. Just as I was about to immerse myself in my own sorrow again, the door was opened. A luxuriously dressed, elegantly mannered woman entered my room with a smile."Hi Rebecca, do I need to introduce myself again?""What do you want?"I sat up in bed, giving her an irritated glare."If you're here to persuade me to marry your uncle Simon, then please leave now!""Oh, of course not."Olivia sat down beside me with a gentle tone."I just wanted to make a new friend. You see, there aren't many girls in The Dark Night Pack, and my daily life is quite lonely. So when I heard that Harrison brought back a girl of my age, I immediately
Luisa's POVIt was early evening, and the wedding had yet to begin. As Alexander and I entered The Dark Night Pack, his eyes immediately scanned the surroundings, searching for Harrison.I seized this opportunity and gently tugged at my husband's arm, playfully saying, "Darling, may I go to Rebecca's room for a moment?""The wedding is about to start, and Rebecca probably won't have time to see anyone else."Alexander clearly hadn't forgotten my lack of enthusiasm for this marriage. He gave me a questioning look and straightforwardly declined my request. But I wasn't ready to give up; I clung to his arm, pressing my body close to his."I just want to offer Rebecca a few words of advice as a mother. You know, Rebecca has always been a virgin, and if she doesn't know how to please her husband—""Hmm..."Alexander assumed a thoughtful expression. After a while, he smirked and used his finger to tilt up my chin."You're right, Luisa. In this regard, Rebecca could use your guidance. But...
Kayla's POV"Mom! Your phone is ringing!" Daisy ran into the kitchen, holding my phone in her hands."Thank you, sweetie." I turned off the gas stove and took the phone from Daisy. I noticed an unfamiliar number on the screen."Hello?""It's me, Luisa. Listen, I have something very important to tell you.""I don't have anything to say to you," I responded with a cold huff, ready to hang up the call.But it was clear that she anticipated my reaction. Before I could end the call, Luisa shouted at the speaker."Don't you want to know the truth about your mother's death?""What did you say?""You heard me," Luisa's tone calmed. "If you're still interested in that past, come to the forest of The Dark Night Pack.""What if I refuse?"I tried to keep my voice as steady as possible, but my fingers gripping the phone had already turned white from the pressure."Then the truth about this matter will forever remain buried in lies. You have only one chance, Kayla.""You... Hello? Hello?"Before I
