The door behind Mia closes with a loud bang.

The house pitch dark. The only light Mia can see comes in from the neighbor's empty kitchen.

Richard pulls Mia into his arms with a rough move, twisting her arm behind her back. His burning hands on Mia’s back make her heart pounding fast. She can feel his hand feeling her up in the darkness. It moves up hastily until it catches Mia’s jaw, and then its owner’s wet breath spouts into Mia’s ear:

“You are scared, little thing.”

Scared? Mia is not shaking much now, just still a bit faint.

In her head Daisy has been roaring: “This is it! I’m going to puke! Put this damn trash down, now!”

Now it is then.

Mia turns slightly to dodge the wet lips by the root of her ear. With this move she reaches under her skirt and pulls the syringe out.

The left side of one’s neck is the best target because it’s close to the heart and helps spread the poison.

When she imagined this moment in her head, she is the skilled agent who would put the target down

    She knew the target won’t corporate when she made the plan. He has been in power for too long. But that’s why Mia has her tools. Torture is very persuasive. This kind of thing doesn't match her character at all. Before the accident happened, she was kind and weak, unwilling to trample even an ant; and torture was to deliberately cause pain to a living human being. Create pain with her own hands. What's more, she doesn't have an experimental subject yet, so she can only simulate everything in her mind. Here is her first practice. She can only succeed, not fail. But the ringing outside the door totally destroyed the scary atmosphere she just established. "Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong", the doorbell rang three more times. Startled, Mia almost snaps her head at it, but she manages to take her position and maintain a calm posture. Being the interrogator, she can show nervousness or it won’t work. The contrast of power, pressure and fear of pain added altogether, is her only chan

    When the car carried Maya rushing through the night, sweat broke out on Bruce’s forehead, afraid that a stupid car accident would take his mate away from him in front of his eyes.Yet under his commands, his car is as fast as that one was, if not faster, yet it still feels too slow for him.Aspen is not helping with his fury either: “It’s all because you weren’t there in time, every time! This wouldn’t be happening if you found her back faster!”“Stop the whining!” Bruce finally lost it, “We don’t even know what’s going on!”How is complaints helping in anyway?!“If I catch her this time! If I catch her...” He closes his eyes, mumbling to himself but only getting as far as “her”.What to do once he catches her? What could he do?He has not the faintest idea.Looking down on Richard Ryan, Mia tilts her head: “Here are the rules. I have questions, and I have toys. You can make your choice between them. You won’t get the toys if I like your answers. Is that clear?”“In your dream!” Thoug

    Mia stares at the gang leader.Richard Ryan only repeats that one line: “I’ll talk...I’ll, talk...”Tightening her hand around the landshade, Mia is washed over by exhaustion when she suddenly got what she wanted. It was like a string that was stretched to its tightest point and then suddenly broke.Turns out it’s not just the person being interrogated who is under pressure.But it's not over yet. She has to wrap it up properly.Haste makes waste.She taks a deep breath, lets go of her hand, and smiles lightly. Then, she moved the bucket at her feet, taks out a pack of tissues from her pocket, and places it on the steps next to Ryan.After doing this, she leans over and looks down at him: "Talk, and our game will be put on hold so long as you behave.""I... there is a transfer in my bank statement called cleaning fee. It was made by the employer that day." Ryan gets her promise and quickly says.Mia nods: "Not bad, continue."Ryan looks at her face and swallows: "You can check bank st

    When Mia went upstairs, she turns on the lights along the way and feels that her path is getting clearer with each step.However, this clarity did not last long before it is suddenly interrupted.Just as she stepped onto the last flight of stairs, the roar of a car engine and then the sound of brakes screams right out of the door. Immediately, there was a knock that scares her into a jump."Bang bang bang"."Bang bang bang".The knocking on the door continued. The person outside the door isn’t ring the doorbell or declare why he is there, but he sounds as fierce as if the Secret Service has come to handle a case.Could it be that the gangster downstairs got into trouble and was being investigated? Maybe it’s just bad luck that happened to him, right?Mia's heart tightens, and she runs into the study room that Ryan mentioned. She hides behind the curtains to peek through the window.On the street, three cars are parked vertically in a row. Bruce stands beside the car with one hand in h

    Mia closes her eyes, finally settled down in the taxi.The fading shadow on the roof drained her.She gathered all her energy and spent the whole night dealing with Richard Ryan, but even that didn’t drain her. She didn't feel tired at all when she climbed the stairs to her fruit of the day. But now, she seems to have lost all her energy.She slumps her shoulders and lowers her head, huddled in the car seat, becoming a weak ghost.Her hand was scratched by Ryan's lampshade, and now it’s starting to throb, but even the pain feels meek.The driver glances at her several times in the rear view mirror, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Miss, are you OK?"He is an older Latino with a gentle look. Mia raises her eyes and looks at him through the rearview mirror. She purses her lips, and tries to smile, but fails. In the end, she could only shake her head slightly: "Not really.""Then today is not your day. But everything will be fine. Don't worry too much."A light comfort, yet it suddenl

    "It's okay, we will bring her back." Bruce says softly, his eyes lost afar.His words are like a decision, but also like a promise to himself.His tone worries Sophia.Something not too pleasant would happen to this mighty Alpha if he can’t solve this one, Sophia could tell.He has always been calm, sharp and wise. But when it comes to Luna, his just completely lose his ration. If she is being honest, Sophia would prefer the latter because only in those moments she feels the Alpha is also a living person, with a soul and all.But now she would rather that he doesn’t. His anxiety and despair have reached their limit, and the man looks like he would lose it at any moment.The Alpha is too important to the pack.

    "Scott, the scumbag is yours."Bruce is much calmer after his outburst. He strides out of the house in a together composure, and the driver runs over to open the door for him.He gets into the car and asks Sophia what’s going on on Robert’s side."The Luna has been silent," Sophia replied, "Robert is very cooperative and everything is under control."Next to her, two men are observing Robert's entire house, looking for suitable locations to install surveillance. And Robert sits like a quail, huddles in his chair.His computer has been searched through by Sophia, and the remote control toolbox has been installed. Right now she's fixing his cell phone."Okay," Bruce nods and signals the driver to set off, "I'm coming back now. Keep a close eye on him, any interaction with Mia I want to know.""Yes, Alpha.""I have some questions for him," Bruce loosens his tie and says in a deep voice.Cold sweat breaks out on Robert’s forehead.

    "Shit!" Mia curses in a low voice, "I missed the cell phone he mentioned.""Huh?" Robert already knew about this from the Alpha, but he has to pretend to be surprised, "The one that holds the client's information? That phone?""Which other can it be?!" Mia is very frustrated.After the whole night of work, she got only two leads, with half of them left in that safe...For a moment, she doesn’t know whether to blame Bruce for messing up her mission, or herself for being too sloppy.Obviously the gang leader said that the mobile phone was hidden in the uppermost part of the safe."Then...without that, can we still continue the investigation?""Who knows." Mia leans back in the car seat, feeling even more tired. "There is the other party's bank account in the bank statement. But no one would be stupid enough to use their own account to pay a killer, right?""Well... the possibility is indeed... not very high."Robert agrees hesitantly, glancing at Sophia, who is sitting across to him.So

    There is no one at "home".This is Bruce's habit. He only requires cleaning staff to come to the house once a week for cleaning, and a life assistant to deliver various items to the house in a timely manner according to his requirements, including food and ingredients. No other personnel are required.Therefore, the house is always quiet. It is an independent space that belongs entirely to the owner.In the past, when Mia was the real hostess here, she would often cook for herself and do some simply cleaning.She now uses half of the third floor of the house. She and Bruce are affectionate and sweet to the outside world, and behind closed doors, they are hosts and guests who have a cooperative relationship.Bruce took off his shoes, took off his suit jacket, and held it in his hands.Mia took off her shoes and followed in, and found several large cardboard boxes on the coffee table in the living room, and Bruce was already unpacking the boxes.

    After Bruce finished speaking, the eyes of everyone around him widened.The Duncan family has always enjoyed privileges in the pack.

Those who didn't know the specific situation had seriously believed that the Duncan family would soon strengthen their ties with Alpha's family through marriage.After all, every core member of the Duncan family can see the alpha at any time. Who dares to say that the news they said about alpha is false?But now, the alpha tells Elena Duncan, the favorite youngest daughter of the Duncan family, that she has a problem with the way she addresses herself and Mia. This is telling everyone that the Duncan family, at least Elena, is not as important as they show.The crowd began to whisper again."If you insist, alpha." Elena emphasized the word "alpha", "But I thought we were friends. After all, we grew up together."Mia must admit that Bruce's appearance made this c

    Mia's posture is very beautiful.Although her legs were a little weak after standing for a long time, her body also felt very tired. More importantly, the eyes that needed to be paid attention to all the time consumed a lot of her energy. But she controlled herself well.The appearance of Elena Duncan unexpectedly gave her some motivation.After surviving the nightmare memories, the flames of revenge burned brightly, and the enemy was right in front of her. Mia entered a fighting state both mentally and physically.The pressure of those glances and appraisals was no longer so noticeable.She rediscovered that feeling of being determined, clear-minded, and filled with strength. Her faith and confidence were stirred.If you can't even win this game, what's the point of revenge?Of course, the posture still needs to be beautiful enough. Posture is a very important part of revenge.That rhetorical question came out of such a Mia. In the face of provocation, smile gently and ask a question

    The moment she stepped into the venue, Mia felt everyone's eyes on her. The eyes with various meanings, which were brighter than the magnificent lights in the hall, suddenly gathered together, making people dizzy for a moment.Breathe and calm down.She had almost forgotten the feeling of being watched. Bruce's palm helped her again, and she stabilized herself perfectly.Next, Bruce introduces everyone to her return to the pack, and then she has to accept people's genuine welcome and say a few words to announce her return."Good evening, friends."This time, she couldn't hide behind Bruce after a brief appearance like before, or even hide in a quiet corner. She had to meet those eyes head on and let them observe. And under their observation, she was saying what she wanted to say."I'm finally back in our warm pack. I'm really happy to see you here. The danger and wandering are over, and it will get better and better in the future.""The pain also made me realize that I was not a quali

    The unfamiliar behavior pattern made Mia feel a little unease.But if she wants to take the initiative and have her own voice, she must learn how to get others to listen to her. The good news is that she has a Luna title, one that forces her command if she wants."Why would I?" Bruce raised his eyebrows, "On the contrary, I find it helpful to our plan."He said it sincerely. In fact, he only finds Mia cute when she raises her chin and gives orders. She is indeed fierce, yet she’s gentle to the world.The image of the young wolf overlapped her again.Mia raises an eyebrow.Since the conversation in the hotel, she had been testing Bruce's bottom line to see how far he would accept her capriciousness. There is no border in sight yet.He seems to be a little too indulging.She accepts his "Alert the enemy" plan.To put it simply, it was to announce her return to everyone.

    An hour and a half passed very quickly.In a daze, Mia is not sure whether she got any sleep at all.She thought about Bruce's suggestion, one that he bothered to deliver through Sophia. He wants her to return to the pack and go back to be the Luna again. Mia tried to understand the value in this for Bruce. To no avail.That was where her thoughts got messy.She felt like she already left the hotel. As soon as she walked out of the door, she was forcibly dragged into a dark car. Her hands and feet were tied, her eyes were blindfolded, and the car was driven extremely bumpy. She was thrown in the back row, and her ribs hurt from the jolt.After a while, it seemed like she was following Bruce back home. As soon as she entered the door, she turned into a puppet. She could do nothing except follow instructions. Even her body turned into wood, and every movement was very stiff.Then, the alarm clock went off.Her head feels heavy, and there is a dry feeling everywhere from the chin up.Mia

    "It’s confirmed that these people found you by following me today."Mia was stuck in her own head and can't get out. Her posture did not change for a long time, and she looked straight at Sophia's tablet screen, seemingly not seeing anything. That was when Bruce snapped her out of it with an out of nowhere statement."Although I don't know how Elena Duncan got the news about you coming back, I still have to take responsibility for what happened today." Bruce leans forward, and the distance between him and her suddenly shortens a lot. "There may be more people sent after you from the Duncan family. For safety reasons, it is better for you to accept the protection arranged by me. At least this is the case recently. What do you think?"Mia was woken up by his question and took a moment to figure out what he was suggesting, but found that she couldn't make any decision. She couldn't even think of one or two reasons to agree or refuse.Daisy stands up and shakes her hair: "Do you have any

    Ha?It’s just out of nowhere. Is that a discussion, a request, or a notification?Mia was still in stress, and whenever Bruce touched her, she felt nervous all over.But the touch of the arm and elbow seems to be unimportant. More importantly, why would she go with him?She really needs a little support, so she doesn't pull away from him, but gently takes a small step to the side. The distance between the two widened, and she raises her head and looks back: "Why..."Her sudden stiff movement transmits to Bruce's fingertips through that little contact.A trace of regret flashed through his heart, he stabilize his image as an alpha, and shows concern in a restrained and polite manner: "Are you tired? Let's get in the car and sit down and talk?"Of course she is. The more relaxed the mood is, the clearer the feeling of fatigue becomes. The body first became weak and then became heavy. Mia could feel that she needed to work hard to stay awake and move around.She needs rest. But she wante
