Kayla's POVAfter comforting Amber, I returned to my room with a lingering heaviness in my heart. Before I could even turn on the lights, a deep voice suddenly echoed in the dim room."Why are you back so late?""Harrison!"I patted my chest, trying to calm my heart that had nearly jumped out of my throat due to Harrison's sudden presence. With a tone of surprise, I complained to the shadowy figure in the dark, "Please, don't appear in my room so suddenly, okay?"Afterward, I turned to open the room's light. However, a strong hand grabbed my wrist in the dark."Your room? Sweetie, everything here belongs to me, including you."Harrison pulled me into his embrace. I heard his deep laughter, and I even forgot to ask why he was here."During dinner tonight, you heard what Peter said, right?"I had a moment of distraction, and I couldn't follow Harrison's thought process. "What?""It's about our old agreement, the one Peter and I made. When we both find our mates, we get married, become A
Kayla's POVEarly in the morning, after Harrison issued an eviction order to me, I packed my belongings, woke up my still-sleeping daughter, and prepared to leave The Dark Night Pack."Mommy, where are we going?" Daisy, who hadn't fully awakened yet, rubbed her eyes with her tiny hands and mumbled a blurry question."We're going home, sweetheart.""Home? Isn't this our home, Mommy?" Daisy opened her eyes, looked up at me with hazy, bewildered eyes."What about Daddy? Isn't he leaving with us?""Well..."As I was figuring out how to explain this series of questions to Daisy, the warriors at the villa's entrance stopped us."I'm sorry, ma'am, without Alpha's orders, you can't leave here as you please."I put Daisy down from my arms and responded to the expressionless warrior in front of me."I'm not a member of The Dark Night Pack. You and your Alpha have no authority to restrict my freedom.""I understand, Mrs. Reeves."Though this warrior had mastered the art of concealing his emotion
Kayla's POVAfter my conversation with Amber, my mood had calmed down considerably. I decided it was time to have a talk with Harrison. After putting Daisy to bed, I left the bedroom.I confirmed with the servants that Harrison had returned tonight, and then I stood in the hallway, hesitating before knocking on Harrison's bedroom door."Harrison? Are you in there?"The response I received was silence.Just when I thought Harrison might not want to see me again, his low voice came from behind the door."Come in."Inside the spacious master bedroom, only a small bedside lamp was lit. Harrison was leaning against the edge of the bed, his shirt collar open, revealing his well-built chest. In the dim light, he looked especially ambiguous and enticing.I swallowed hard, softly called his name."Harrison..."Harrison raised his gaze, interrupting me coldly, "What is it?"Faced with Harrison's cold attitude, I gathered my courage and took a step toward him."I... I want to talk to you, Harris
Kayla's POV"Good morning, my princess."I opened my groggy eyes, unable to make out my surroundings just yet, and a low, deep voice filled my ears."Good morning, Harrison."Instinctively, I reached out, embracing Harrison's neck, and pressed my body against his chest.But when the corner of my eye caught sight of the bandage on Harrison's chest, I suddenly woke up."You still haven't told me why you got injured, Harrison."Faced with my persistent gaze, Harrison intentionally evaded my question. He pinched my chin and asked in return."Well, you haven't told me yet why you came to see me last night, my dear.""I...," I tried to remember, finally recalling the purpose of my visit, "I just wanted to explain to you why I suddenly changed my mind about joining The Dark Night Pack. In fact, I...""It's alright, Kayla."Surprisingly, Harrison promptly interrupted me."I agree with your request. You can continue to live as a member of The Obsidian Pack."But Harrison's sudden change of hea
Kayla's POV"So, you mean Harrison withdrew his offer for you to join The Dark Night Pack to ensure your and Daisy's safety and didn't want to involve you in potential danger," Amber said."That's right," I looked at Amber in front of me and let out a long sigh. "Now I finally understand your feelings back then, Amber. These arrogant men always think they can shoulder all responsibilities and risks, protecting us under their wings, but they never consider our feelings.""Well, Kayla," Amber said, mocking me with a helpless expression. "If I remember correctly, you were quite supportive of Peter's decision that day, weren't you? Let me think, how did you say it... Oh, right—Peter has his reasons for doing this. Only by ensuring my safety and the child's safety can he focus on what he's about to do...""Enough, Amber," I blushed, unable to contain my embarrassment. "I apologize to you. I indeed didn't consider your feelings...""Don't say that, Kayla," Amber held my hand, her eyes fille
Amber's POVWhen I parked the car in front of our home, Peter was there to greet me, and he looked furious."For the sake of the Moon Goddess, Amber!" Peter opened the car door, grabbed my arm, and pulled me out. He hastily guided me towards the mansion."What's gotten into you, driving out of Harrison's territory alone, Amber? Do you have any idea that when Harrison told me about this, I was so nervous my heart almost stopped beating?""Calm down, Peter," I protested, freeing my wrist from his grasp. "I'm standing right in front of you, perfectly fine, aren't I?""Looks like you still don't realize what's wrong, Amber," Peter retorted impatiently, adjusting his tie as if releasing some pent-up anger."Amber. You're a mother now. Do you know that your reckless behavior could put you and our child in danger?""And what about you, Peter?" Peter's irate reaction made me abandon the soft-spoken comfort and explanation I had planned along the way.I defiantly confronted Peter, meeting his
Amber's POV"Now, tell me, Peter."I turned over in bed, still dazed, and locked eyes with Peter in the darkness, his eyes gleaming. "How far has the situation between you and Donald developed?""Well, darling, I was just..."I could see the hesitation in Peter's expression, so I quickly made my stance clear."Listen, Peter! Don't even think about using those excuses like 'it's my own business' or 'you just need to worry about the baby' to evade my questions!""OK, OK! Put away your claws, my dear little kitty." Peter raised his hands, surrendering with a smile. Then, he grabbed my hand, bringing it to his lips and gently kissing my fingertips."I promise you, from now on, I will tell you everything. After all, why did the Moon Goddess choose you, this naughty little wolf, to be my mate?""Don't use sweet talk to distract me, Peter!"Pretending to be angry, I pulled my hand from Peter's and shyly pushed his chest."Now, tell me, what's the current situation with Donald Rufus?""Well,
Kayla's POV"Tell me, Kayla, you let Amber go, didn't you?"Even though it was a question, I had already discerned Harrison's attitude towards the matter from his unchanging expression."Yes, Harrison."I nodded without hesitation and admitted, "I took Amber to the parking lot, gave her the car keys, and told her the route to leave The Dark Night Pack.""Why did you do that?"Harrison's hands clenched into fists quickly, as if he was trying to restrain his anger."That night, you clearly heard Peter's words. He entrusted Amber to me, asking me to protect her and her...""Protect?"I raised my voice, interrupting Harrison."Yes, in your and Peter's eyes, this arrangement is for Amber's protection. But have you considered Amber's feelings? As Peter's wife, what she needs isn't protection but to be by her husband's side, facing the upcoming challenges and dangers together!"Harrison's fist slammed down on the coffee table, producing a loud sound."Do you know how immature this idea is, K
