Jake saw Blake, recognition dawning on his face. His eyes went back to Lily. He said, “Come with me. It’s not a safe place here,” Jake said taking Lily’s elbow and pulling her towards his car parked near them.Lily tried to free herself from his grip but the more Jake tightened it forcing Lily to take a few steps. “No! I’m not coming with you!” and with all her strength, she shove Jake away.“Hey!” Jake said seeing Blake went out of his car and was approaching them. “This is none of your business man,” he warned Blake.“Can’t you hear her? She told you to leave her alone and she just said she’s not coming with you, why do still insist?” Blake asked pulling Lily away from him.“You’re stepping on other men’s shoes. You’re not supposed to meddle on couples misunderstanding. You leave us alone, or I’ll call the police,” Jake told Blake seriously.Lily stepped away from the two dangerous man. She looked hatefully at Jake. “Do not make me your shield Jake. There was nothing mutual between
“Once the investigator proves my innocence, can I leave the company?” she asked.Blake considered her question thoughtfully. "What do you mean? Are you going to resign?"Lily hesitated for a moment before speaking. “I hope so. I feel like I’m not competent enough to be your secretary, given all the suspicions you have about me.”Blake shook his head. “No, Lily. Even if you’re innocent, leaving the company would only make it look like you had something to hide. You’ll stay here, and I’ll make sure you’re protected. After all, you’re vulnerable on your own among normal humans.”Lily’s heart swelled with gratitude. For the first time in a long time, she felt like someone was on her side.“Thank you, Blake,” she said softly.Blake’s expression softened. “Don’t thank me yet, Lily. I cannot conclude until I heard from the investigators. But I promise you, I’ll do everything in my power to keep you safe. Are we friends now?” he asked.Lily looked at him. Although she had not seen him before

Rumours had it that he routinely discarded secretaries like clockwork at the end of each month. Were they dating? Uh.Initially, he hadn't intended to tail them. He had been patiently waiting for Lily to finish her shift, planning to abduct her. However, his plans took an unexpected turn when he was taken aback by the sight of the two emerging from the building together and climbing into Blake's car.The man raised

The air crackled with tension as she surveyed the chaotic scene unfolding around her, her eyes flitting from one alarming sight to another."You're his trusted friend?" Lily exclaimed, her voice catching in a mixture of surprise and concern. Her mind raced to grasp the implications of this newfound revelation, her thoughts spinning like a whirlwind. The magnitude of the situation began to weigh heavily upon her, pressing upon her shoulders like an invisible burden.Her eyes darted frantically, trying to absorb every detail of the nightmarish scene playing out before her. Chaos reigned supreme, casting its shadow over their every move. But amidst the swirling maelstrom, a glimmer of unwavering determination flickered within Lily's eyes."But we can't simply abandon our companions in the midst of this perilous altercation," she asserted, her voice r

Determined to set the record straight, Blake knew he had to clarify the truth. Taking a deep breath, he spoke, "Jake, I need to make something clear. I never used your sister, nor did I ever abandon her. It was Greta who made the decision to leave me, against my wishes. I never expected or wanted that outcome. Let's not confuse Lily with false accusations." Blake's voice held firm conviction as he asserted his innocence.With a firmness in his voice, Blake emphasized his point. "Jake, you need to understand this clearly. I may forgive you this time, but if you ever put Lily through something like this again, my forgiveness won't come as easily." Giving one final push to create distance between them, Blake shifted his attention to Lily, his concern etched deeply on his face. He approached her gently and asked, "Lily, are you alright?"Relieved, Lily's voice carried a sense of gratitude as she replied, "Yes, I'm fine. But what about you? Are you hurt?"Blake's response came swiftly, fil
Before the first rays of dawn illuminated the room, Blake's weary eyes fluttered open, his body feeling remarkably refreshed. The remnants of fatigue clung to him, urging him to seek solace in the warmth of a shower.

There, he shed his clothes, each smelled with the evidence of his arduous fight, releasing the accumulated tension from his fight-fatigued body.

Andrew, George, and Anne emerged from the mansion, gathering around as they saw the box and realized its contents. Andrew's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm as he exclaimed, "Let's give it a try, Blake. It could be our best shot at finding Lily."However, Blake hesitated, understanding the implications. "As much as I'm tempted to, using a drone is not allowed in natural parks," he replied, distancing himself from the group and heading toward his car.Caught in the wake of Blake's abrupt departure, Matt's curiosity got the best of him, prompting him to ask, "Where are you off to?"Sliding into the driver's seat and igniting the engine, Blake's response was concise, "City." The car smoothly pulled away, leaving an air of puzzled silence in its wake. The group exchanged glances, sharing their confusion over Blake's unexpected departure and the secrecy shrouding his actions."Maybe he's considering a visit to his office this time," George speculated, his voice tinged with uncertainty. He sou
“All right, we will do that,” George agreed. The couple decided to leave the room and made their way downstairs, seeking solace in the family lounge.Outside the mansion, the first light of dawn painted the sky with delicate hues. Blake and his group emerged from the backdoor, weariness etched across their faces, overshadowed by an air of melancholy. Blake led the way, his shoulders slumped as he walked towards a plush love seat by the fireplace. He sat down heavily, turning away from prying gazes and closing his eyes in exhaustion. Andrew followed suit, his own fatigue apparent as he joined Blake in the lounge.Addressing Andrew, George, and Anne couldn't contain their worry. "Where is Lily?" they asked almost simultaneously, their voices revealing the depth of their concern.Heavy with regret, Andrew replied, "We deeply apologize. We didn't find Lily there. We believe Jake might have taken her, as we couldn't locate any trace of Jake or his men up there. Blake is devastated; he does

Since Blake and Lily were physically separated, Jake thought this was the perfect opportunity to capture her and get what he wanted from her – her immense power.Running on all four, Jake’s eyes were fixated on Lily’s wolf figure a mile in advance from him. Jake’s heart matched his fast gallops – bare, soft thuds in the quiet night, determined to capture Lily. He moved skillfully, avoiding obstacles and jumping over rocks. The moon's fading light lit up the nighttime scene.Guided by the faint but luminous moon, Jake discerned Lily's swift silhouette darting through the forest with urgency. Intuition and instinct propelled him forward as he narrowed the distance between them. Whispering to himself between breaths, he pleaded, "Lily, make it easier for both of us. We wouldn't be here if only you had returned to us." His determination to catch up with her resonated within each step.Unaware th
Emerging from the cabin, Glenn's face turned a deep shade of crimson, his cheeks burning with intense embarrassment.

“Oh, I felt envious at how much you trusted him when you know him just recently. Lily, I grow up with him. I knew him inside and out.

Bathed in the dusky glow of the quarter moon and accompanied by a chilly midnight breeze, she meticulously surveyed her surroundings with each calculated step. Arriving at the spot where she had last retreated, she strained her lupine ears, an anxious question echoing within her mind. "Where are they?"
