Chapter 3

The loud moaning sound made Irene stop in her tracks, but it didn't deter her from her intention to leave the room. Irene kept approaching Adam's bed in the middle of the room while focusing her gaze on the poorly lit area. Irene's gaze fixed on Adam, who was fast asleep with a blanket covering half of his body. Adam's upper body was exposed, and Irene knew that he didn't like to sleep in a t-shirt.

Adam seemed restless in his sleep, and it made Irene curious as she approached the sleeping man. Irene couldn't deny that Adam looked handsome when he was asleep, and even when he was staring at her. His sharp nose, green eyes, and always-red lips never failed to make Irene's heart race when she looked at him.

Even when he was asleep and not looking at her, Irene's heart always beat fast. Especially when Adam spoke to her with his low, baritone voice that sounded tempting.

"Why am I imagining the nights I spent with him in bed? Oh my God! Erase those dirty thoughts, Irene!" Irene shook her head vigorously as thoughts of Adam on top of her and moving his hips crossed her mind.

Although she and Adam always did it, Irene never looked at him up close while he was asleep. Adam would leave after he felt his duty to impregnate Irene was done. Unbeknownst to Irene, Adam's sharp Alpha instincts suddenly sensed her proximity. In one swift move while Irene was caught off guard, Adam's hand managed to pull her entire body into his embrace and made Irene now lying beneath his body.

Irene gazed at Adam intently, imagining how handsome their son would be if she really had a child with him. Of course, Adam's face would dominate. Especially with the Alpha gene that Adam possessed.

"How can a werewolf be so handsome like this? Is it because he's an Alpha, so his face is so handsome and charming? His aura is even so strong that I always feel scared when I look into his sharp eyes," murmured Irene with her outstretched hand, wanting to touch Adam's face that was closed in front of her.

Adam's previously closed eyes now looked sharply at Irene from very close range. Even Irene felt that his gaze had become luminous as he looked intently at her, "What are you doing?" Adam asked in his typical voice

Irene's body tensed up upon hearing Adam's words and her tongue felt dry to answer the question posed by Adam to her.

"I- I..."

"You barged into my room? Haven't I always told you not to come into my room when I'm sleeping?" Adam quickly interrupted.

Irene didn't know what to say, especially since Adam was piercing her with his sharp gaze.

"Sorry." Irene said and tried to get up from her position. Unfortunately, Adam's strength was ten times stronger than hers, making Irene unable to move her body trapped beneath Adam's.

"Don't you think that I'm sleeping with you and using you as a vessel to bear my child, you can do whatever you want." Adam said.

Adam's words instantly pierced Irene's heart that had been beating irregularly. Her gaze changed, and her heart felt painful. Even taking a breath felt suffocating.

"I'm not hesitant to move you to sleep in the basement, Miss Irene." Adam continued.

Adam's words successfully broke down Irene's defenses. Tears streamed down her face as she continued to stare at Adam's face from such a close distance.

"Do you think I'll apologize after what you just did? Know your place!" Adam said once again before he got up from his position and sat on the edge of his bed.

Adam put on a smile, "Fuck! Do humans always expect like this? Just because they're given a little attention, they become hopeful. Such a lowly creature that can't be understood."

Hearing Adam's words, Irene burst into tears, as if his words had just activated all the bad memories of her past and everything she had been receiving while staying in Adam's mansion.

Slowly, Irene got up and tried to leave Adam's room with tears obstructing her vision. Irene went straight to her room and didn't say anything else. Her tears broke out as soon as Irene entered her room and leaned against the closed door. Adam's words repeated in her mind. Irene could feel her eyelids swelling due to her own tears.

Knowing her position, a lowly human sold by her father, a mistress of the Alpha, and other names that Irene had always heard finally overflowed through her tears that shattered the silence. Realizing that she now lived with werewolves, Irene got up from her position then grabbed a pillow and screamed while hugging her face with the pillow to muffle her voice.

"Why me? Why does it have to be me?" Irene asked herself with a heart wrenching cry.

Irene's shattered life, which she had always kept hidden in the hope that she would be free one day after giving birth to a son for him. But Irene's already messed up mind now couldn't even hold back her desire to leave. Irene had wanted to leave for a long time but always put it off because she believed Adam's words. But what Irene was facing now was different. Her chest felt tight as if a thousand knives were piercing her heart.

For a moment, Irene suddenly stopped crying as she realized something within herself. Her hand clasped her aching chest as she thought back to Adam's words.

"Do I like him? Why am I always fine when someone else says it but hurt so much when Mr. Adam says it?" Irene murmured.

Irene fell silent and wiped her tears with the sleeve of her shirt. Her gaze became blank as she realized that she had developed feelings slowly over time spent with Adam

There was even a desire within her to have more with Adam. A desire to be recognized and considered as his partner.

"I can't, I can't be like this. How can I like a man who clearly always ignores me? Speaking coldly and sometimes even being harsh towards me?" Irene thought to herself, remembering some of the treatments Adam had given her.

Irene's hope shattered in silence and after Adam's words that made her aware of her position. Irene wiped her tears once again and gave a wry smile at her own fate, "Okay. Maybe it's best for me to leave."

Irene's mind now began to wander and think about how she would leave from there. Her patience in dealing with the entire werewolf race, especially Adam and his servants in the house, had finally run out. "I will go to Thibeult City," murmured Irene as she decided on the location she would go to.

Indeed, the place where Irene lived called Boris City was a hidden place from the outside world. Even the life between werewolves and humans can only be known by the original community of Boris City. For those who reveal the secrets and mysteries of Boris City, they are ready to risk their lives.
