"Huh?"It’s so ridiculous that Mia doesn’t know whether she should yell or laugh.It has been more than a year since the incident happened, and everyone in the Duncan family is living well under his eyes.Now he wants to help her and take revenge on that family?Is it just to show that everything is just for her?This is too ridiculous!If he wanted to help her get revenge, what had he been doing for more than a year until now?Or is this a new way to deceive her?Whatbenefit could he possible gain by tricking her again?!She couldn't figure it out.This thought stirred her head into a much. She seriously begin to wonder if she had really forgotten something, likeif there was some big secret that the family hadn't had time to tell her, and it was worth Bruce's best efforts to take her
Bruce realizes for the first time that as long as Mia made up her mind, he couldn't really change her mind. He was afraid that he was too hard and hurt her, and he was also afraid that if he held on too tightly, she would show the same dissatisfied look as before. Their relationship is too fragile to withstand too many such dissatisfaction now. He observes her nervously, but he could only helplessly let her wrist slowly pull away from his hand. Finally, he took several deep breaths in succession, suppressed his emotions, and reluctantly accepted the result: "You don't have to come back, but let me help you." He is indeed the best alpha. After a few simple adjustments, he had broken away from the pitiful posture he had just revealed. This kind of resilience made Mia feel familiar and at ease. At the same time, she could see from his bright eyes again that this proposal was his bottom line. If she didn't agree, she might not be able to leave at all. "Okay. How can you help?" Mia
n't receive a word from Mia for two days.On the first day, he felt normal. He had just packed her up and handed her ass over to alpha. Even if she agreed to accept help from the Alpha, she would not be in a good mood. Being cold and expressing dissatisfaction can help calm the mood. Robert understood.The next day, Sophia was ordered to ask about Mia’s the progress of her plan according to three meals a day. He came up empty-handed three times in a row that he felt guilty himself. Didn’t dare cross the Alpha, he bravely called Mia.The call was hung up.Immediately afterwards, he received the message:[Upset. Stay away!]The fire was clearly visible through the distant signal.Robert was scared again.It seems that selling her to an alpha is indeed serious. She is in a bad mood and should be allowed to digest it. The traitor who betrayed his friend is very self-aware and understands Mia well - not being completely silent means that everything is still under control.On the third day,
Bruce and Mia conducted several rounds of negotiations regarding the meeting place.Specifically, Bruce proposed various location suggestions, but Mia rejected them one by one:[Bruce]: Kade Club.[Mia]: No. That's your territory. There are many people from your pack coming and going, and someone will recognize me.[Bruce]: Blue Star then.Blue Star is a place invested by Pack Daimos. It is convenient for pack members to carry out activities. Most of the VIPs are pack members.[Mia]: How is that different from Kade Club?[Bruce]: How about Nightingale?This is privately opened by Beta Rockwood. Robert’s family name is Rockwood.Mia had enough, and pressed the screen hard to reply: Can you choose a place that has nothing to do with you? I won't go to your territory!Bruce smirked.He seemed to have learned a skill without a teacher fire up Mia just so he could get more words out of her.That's not bad either. The anxiety in his heart was somewhat soothed.The final meeting place was de
Mia's behavior, which she thought was dry and cold, seemed to Bruce to be full of energy and cute like a small animal.Like a wolf cub that has just left the den, it learns the fierce postures from the wolf king and thinks itself intimidating. In fact, because of its size and face, it only makes people want to reach out and rub it.After a year of separation, he saw a lot of emotions in Mia that he didn't noticed before. She is still kind. Even if she has a little temper like now, she will never hurt an innocent soul. At the same time, she was indeed much more lively than when she was around him before, and she was more responsive to what was happening around her.When she was in the marriage, she was gentle, sensible, and always cared about him, but she was also so perfect that she was like a doll that could be manipulated.She is better this way now.He didn't know where these emotions came from. Maybe it’s the experience this year? Or maybe it's because of the distance between them
What to do?Mia has always taken things one step at a time. She just got the materials now and haven’t read them carefully yet. How does she know what to do next?But facing Bruce, she didn't want to admit it. Especially when he asked questions like this, he obviously already had some ideas. In contrast, it became even more apparent that her abilities were lacking.She hasn’t even figure out the problems he caused her, and now she has to figure out more questions he asked?What should she say to make herself appear less incompetent?"Are the finger sandwiches delicious?"Mia said nothing. Bruce waited for her quietly for a while, then suddenly changed his question."Huh?"What does planning have to do with sandwiches? Mia looked up in confusion.Probably because the anticipation in his eyes was so dazzling. Her mind wandered briefly and she answered the question uncontrollably: "It's quite delicious.""What about tea?" Bruce's eyes curled up, and he probably smiled softly."Also...ver
Mia's definition of herself made Robert roll his eyes.He has already had a face-to-face conversation with the alpha. He could see clearly with his own eyes what the purpose of that Greek god came to him was.But since that god is willing to cooperate with Mia in playing a revenge game, what can he say?So, he changed his words calmly: "Okay, no problem, Miss Hidden Blade. So, what are you going to do next?"According to the agreed upon plan, Mia should go back to her place, understand all the information in her hand, have a deep understanding of the Duncan family's business and the relationship between the family and branches, and then get a thorough understanding of the situation of Jason Howard.After knowing enough about the past and present situation of the Duncan family, she can put forward her own opinions and direct his people to do her bidding through Bruce.In addition, once Bruce finds an opportunity while monitoring the guy, she can give him a mental shock with a surprisin
Mia has escaped the malicious searches of the Duncan family several times.Those people were menacing and had good intentions at first glance. They followed some clues and found her near where she was hiding, trying to find out her whereabouts.Though difficult, she managed to hide from them excatly because shewas a smalltargetand her activities were inconspicuous.After hiding, she became very concerned about anti-tracking knowledge and the accumulation of tips. For example, the method just now was used to determine whether a car was following her.At least thatprotected her.After hanging up the phone from Robert, she began to focus on how to deal with the two cars following her.She did not turn off the car's GPS and kept her cell phone with her. These are the clues left for Robert and Bruce. Seeing how they would act would tell her
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. His custom-made suit was thrown carelessl
After Bruce finished speaking, the eyes of everyone around him widened.The Duncan family has always enjoyed privileges in the pack. Before Mia returned to the pack, Elena regarded herself as the future Luna on many occasions. 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. And she stands in Luna's position and openly causes trouble for the Duncan family, especially Elena Duncan. She wants
Half past four in the afternoon.The third floor of Creekview Manor is very lively.The door to the master's large lounge was open.The designer directs his assistant to take out one dress after another from the protective bag and hang it on the rack. There is a row of men and a row of women, with design elements and colors corresponding to each other. The jewelry box opened by the manor's butler himself, and sets of the owner's private jewelry were laid out, including pearls, diamonds, emeralds... all full of jewels.The makeup artist is opening the makeup box, taking out various cosmetics and placing them on the oversized dressing table. A complete set of makeup brushes, various colors of base makeup, eye shadow, highlighter, shadow...especially lipsticks and lip glosses with different textures and colors. There are hundreds of them on a shelf.The hairstylist took out a variety of tools, including combs, hair dryers, curling irons, nutrients, softeners, styling agents... hairpins o
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
