Roman nodded, then immediately made a phone call to ask his men to withdraw. Only then did I let out a full sigh of relief. I turned, picked up the drugged gla*s of wine, and handed it to Roman. “Roman, would you like to have a drink with me?” “Drink with you?” Roman raised an eyebrow. Now this…this isn’t what he had expected from the little spitfire human. Perhaps she’d come to her sense after all… He strode back over to her, leaning down to scent her hair above her ear. “Have you changed your mind? Are you willing to let me touch you?” She bristled, and her body stiffened. “Beta Starke, I’ve already told you I don’t want to sleep with you. Our deal was that I would get you the project and you wouldn’t have s ex with me. Are you going back on your word?” Ah, it was back to Beta Starke now. This woman was going to give him whiplash, her demeanor shifted so quickly.

“Then why do you want me to drink with you?” “I wanted to thank you. After all, you let me go twice in a row. Not only di

    As soon as Roman left, I heaved a sigh of relief. Until I heard the sound coming from the other room. Then I tensed up again. There was still one more person to deal with… I walked over to the bathroom door. As soon as I put my hand on the knob, the door opened. A large hand grabbed my wrist and pulled me in. The bathroom light was off, and only a faint yellow light shined through from beneath the door, allowing a glimpse of the tattoo on the man’s collarbone. I wanted to look closer, but he suddenly turned around and pressed me against the wall. God damm it, I was tired of men throwing me around tonight. He hugged me from behind and again secured my hands with a zip tie. Then, the blindfold was over my eyes again. Gah!!!!! Why did he tie me up again? I opened my mout h to speak, but he grabbed my chin roughly, his fingers pinching as he positioned me. A chill swept over me, and then his lips were on mine. Rough, hard, sensual…needy. The moment he kissed me, I lifted my bound hands up

    Without the knife, I was even more helpless than before. I was out of options, out of energy, out of…everything. Sinking into a pile on the floor, I covered my face and burst into hiccupping sobs. “Don’t cry.” His voice was gruff and cold, and I couldn’t tell if he was trying to comfort me or trying to get me to stop because it annoyed him. It didn’t matter. Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t stop. I lay there, weeping and trying to breathe through my sobs. The man let out a helpless sigh. He squatted down and touched my hair, running a hand through it. I ducked away from his touch. “I’ve been thinking about you for a long time, and I couldn’t help it. I’m sorry,” he said in a softer tone. Huh? He’d been thinking about me for a long time? He knew who I was… He’d pretended to be Roman and texted me.That meant he knew I was “involved” with Roman. And Roman had declared that I was his woman that evening at Nightshade. I wracked my brain to recall the men present that night. Men whose physi

    This “Greyson” wouldn’t even show me his face, so it’s not like I expected him to enter his real name in. I lowered my head and was deep in thought when the man suddenly picked me up. I thought that he was going to do something ho rrific to me again, so I struggled desperately. Instead, he put me back on the bed, pulled up the quilt, and covered me with it. Then, he leaned over and said, “Have a good sleep. Don’t wait for Roman. He won’t come back.” I didn’t understand what he meant. “What do you mean?” He didn’t respond, just left quickly as if he had something urgent to deal with. As I watched him leave, I wished I could pounce on him and tear him apart. But I was so tired and weak that I couldn’t wait to fall asleep. I wished I had the stamina that someone like “Greyson” had. Even after all he put me through, thanks to his wolf nature, he didn’t even appear tired.Meanwhile, my weak human body was nothing but a betrayal on all fronts. Still, I forced myself to go sit on the sofa an

    The man raised his chin, and the bodyguards behind Roman kicked at the backs of his knees and shins. Roman was caught off guard and fell to the ground. He was so angry to be so humiliatingly forced to kneel at someone’s feet that he didn’t care about anything else. He raised his head, gritted his teeth, and glared at the man in front of him. “How dare you treat me like this?” Roman started to stand back up, trying to keep the look of pain off his face; his finger wound was pure agony. “I will find out who you are, and I’ll kil Before Roman could finish his threat, the masked man had his knife out. Faster than Roman could blink, the man had sliced through his wrist tendons, leaving Roman’s hands dangling uselessly. The pain and shock was so fierce, Roman didn’t have time to process it before his m outh was slashed, followed by slashes on the tops of his thighs-clear down to the bone.The man didn’t even blink as he did all of this, his eyes shining cold and emotionless with his wolf.

    This morning, as soon as Damian and I left the house, the pack’s security guards stopped us. They said a group of men in black came to our house last night and stood at the door, guarding it. About half an hour later, they left. The security guards thought it was a little strange, but they figured it might be our relatives or something, since it was our mating night. He didn’t see a need to mention it until this morning. “But something felt off about it after I found out what happened, so I called you, but you didn’t answer. Then I remembered the strange people who came to the mating ceremony yesterday, and I was worried that something might have happened to you, so I rushed over here.” No wonder Harper and Damian hadn’t left yet. I probably would have delayed as well, though I felt terrible this was all because of me. “I’m so sorry, Harper. Yesterday, I had some trouble. There was a very important contract with Beta Starke, but I kept delaying giving it to him.So he got angry with m

    Not get married?” Harper’s eyes widened. “I didn’t picture you for being an old cat lady.” “I was just joking.” Taya giggled. A giggle. That was good. Harper drew in a sigh of relief. She was probably just overreacting. Taya had always been the well-behaved and sensible one. Ever since they were little, Taya was the cautious one in their duo. She would never act recklessly, so there was nothing for Harper to worry about. After Harper and Taya chatted a bit more about the mating ceremony and the moonlight ritual, Damian came to pick Harper up. He had changed their flight to Malaysia to the evening, and Taya happened to be free, so she dropped them off at the airport. After telling Harper and Damian to have fun, I waved goodbye to them. After getting home, I went to the bathroom to wash up. My mind was a jumbled mess. It was very strange. Being touched by Roman made me feel disgusted. However, I didn’t feel disgusted when Greyson…did what he did.It wasn’t fully pleasurable, and he was

    I’ll wait for half an hour. After sending this message, Greyson didn’t send anything else. He’d given his final word, and it seemed that was that. I wished I knew who he was in the wolf shifter hierarchy of things. Was he an Alpha who was used to having what he wanted when he wanted it? Or was he someone who was a Nobody was enjoying exerting power over a human girl. Power he didn’t have over anyone else. Something told me he was powerful no matter who he was, with. Especially if he truly had been behind what happened to Roman. I handed over the text messages to the shifter police, Mentioning Roman, since there was surveillance footage of him entering and leaving the hotel room. The police would investigate Roman and collect any evidence they could. But if Greyson told the police I wanted to kill Roman, that I had Drugs and a dagger there to do it… the shifter packs wouldn’t be lenient on me. They would charge me for attempted murder, and I knew how that would play out in a courtroom.

    My tactics only delayed the inevitable. His movements were quick and domineering, and then I was pressed against the wall. After hugging and kissing me for a while, he surprised me with a hard pinch on my waist. “Ouch!” I yelped out. As soon as I opened my mouth to speak, his lips were on mine, his tongue invading my mouth. His kiss was still as wild as before, but the way he touched me was much softer than the last time. As if he were very familiar with my body, he touched me in just the right places, just the right way. His actions were so skilled, they made me feel like I wasn’t being forced… I wanted to beat myself to death as soon as that thought entered my head. How could this be pleasure? But …We had sex several times, and every time I sank into it. It was no different from when I was with Griffon. I even couldn’t help scratching his back later as we lay in bed. Was I completely crazy to think that this man’s body was compatible with mine? Greyson bit my earlobe and whispered,

    Neil received the item from the owner of the goldsmith shop. He originally wanted to give it to Taya and at the same time, show off. Who knew that Alpha Knight would be here! He had such bad luck! The smile on Neil’s face disappeared. “How dare you!” Neil was disappointed when he saw Griffon. How were they going to have fun now that he was here? The designers, who followed behind Neil, froze when they saw Griffon too. The smiles and excitement immediately faded. They did not even dare to enter the door. They stood at the door, pushing and shoving each other. “Hey Neil, after you…” When Neil saw Griffon, he was extremely humble. He waved his hands desperately, “No, no, the young ones should enter first…” Taya glanced at the designers who were afraid to come in, then at Griffon who exuded a terrifying aura. She saioicd in a low ve, “Why don’t you go out first? I’ll take care of things here first before going to the hospital.” Griffon let go of his balled fists, which were clenched due t

    Are you alright?”After Harper finished talking with Preston, she immediately went to the office. She quickly washed up and changed her clothes. When she came out, she overheard Mr. Jenkin’s conversation. He said that Griffon caught Johnny flirting with Taya and that they were fighting downstairs. There were also guns involved. Harper was so frightened that she did not even have time to put on her high heels. She quickly wore her slippers and she rushed down in a hurry with her hair still wet. When Taya heard Harper’s voice, she hurriedly pushed away Griffon, who was about to kiss her, and turned to face Harper who was rushing towards her in a panic. “I’m fine. Be careful, don’t run.” Harper rushed to Taya and quickly examined her just to make sure she was alright. Seeing that she was indeed unharmed, Harper immediately relaxed. “I was scared to death. I thought something happened to you. My heart was literally about to leap out of my chest!” Taya raised her hand and comforted her. “Do

    Griffon hugged Taya tightly as he stared deeply at Johnny with cold, deadly eyes. Griffon grabbed Johnny’s wrist hard, almost squeezing it. If he exerted any more strength, Johnny’s wrist would definitely dislocate. Johnny couldn’t struggle and he became irritated. He glared at Griffon and shouted. You are courting death!” After he finished speaking, he raised his other hand and motioned for his bodyguards to come forward. When Taya, who was nestled in Griffon’ arms, saw the group of bodyguards running towards them, her heart started pounding in his chest. “Griffon, you have to go now.” Listening to the conversation between the two, it was obvious that they knew each other and they had grudges. Griffon did not have any bodyguards with him at this time, so he might not be able to take down Johnny and his team of bodyguards sorry, Griffon suddenly lowered his head and gave her a rea*suring look. “Don’t worry.” As soon as he said those words, he lifted his leg and kicked fiercely at the

    Harper’s heart trembled as she saw the bodyguards’ hands reaching for the back of their waist once again, but she forced herself to stay calm and began to make up nonsense. “She’s in Aronland with Mr. Yardley. If you want to look for her, go to Aronland…” That’s right, he should go ahead and deal with Amon. Harper wanted to see who would come out on top. Upon hearing this, Johnny’s repressed anger burst out of his dark eyes. “I found out that she had returned from Aronland, and the first person she met up with was you, right here!” The first time he came here, he was actually looking for Harper to ask about Rosalie’s whereabouts. However, he was so furious at the waiter that he couldn’t speak. After adjusting his mood, he revisited the place. However, he never expected that Harper would dare to play dumb. This was simply unbearable! He stood up out of the blue, and his tall and burly figure towered Harper, whose height reached his chest despite being in heels. Stare at Harper. “Ms. Du

    Harper smiled coquettishly. “It has nothing to do with you.” Nothing to do with him? Preston had always been a gentleman towards women but at that instant, his face darkened as he spoke. “Harper Duke, are you sure you want to provoke me?” Harper felt that he was reversing right and wrong, and her face also darkened. “Please get it straight. You’re the one who came to provoke me with another woman.” “That’s because you rejected me without thinking the other day! The indignation in Harper’s eyes turned into confusion in no time. Preston had had many women before, but he had never been serious with any of them. He would never lower his status to try to reconcile after breaking up with them. But that night, he hugged her like a pup and nuzzled her neck. “I miss you a little. Please don’t leave me, okay?” She thought he was just talking nonsense due to the alcohol in him, but she never expected him to be serious. Harper was surprised for a moment, but then regained her composure… Regardles

    Taya walked up to the second-floor bedroom without turning on the lights. By the dim light, she could see the Koenigsegg downstairs and the man inside. Through the half wound window, Taya noticed that he was typing on his phone. A few seconds later, Taya’s phone vibrated. She took out her phone from her pocket and opened WhatsApp. She saw a photo he sent, a picture of the two of them taken at the seaside. He typed her a message with only a few words: “Don’t delete the picture. Keep it as a memory.” A memory…Why would it be a memory? Taya wanted to reply to him, but she noticed that Griffon had his profile picture to a picture of her. Another message came in. “Taya, I love you. Goodnight.” After thinking for a few seconds, Taya replied, “Goodnight…” The next morning, Taya received a bouquet of roses from him, which was delivered by Andre. He didn’t come himself. Andre explained, “Ms. Palmer, Alpha Knight has several international meetings to attend today, so he asked me to deliver BIKI

    Rebecca had shown up just to meet Taya. Having met her, she thus spun around and left. Looking at her graceful and composed back, Taya, who was so nervous that her heart leapt to her throat, gradually relaxed… She thought that the members of the Knight pack would despise her, look down on her, and even speak ill of her, just like Shelly. Unexpectedly, Griffon’ eldest sister was so gentle and elegant, without any arrogance whatsoever. Even if she did, it was only because of the way she had been raised in a rich pack, as well as the way she viewed the world, which was saturated by the knowledge she had obtained. Griffon lowered his head and asked, “When will you come back to the Knight pack’s house with me for the family dinner?” Taya raised her clear eyes to stare at his flawless face and thought to herself, “In the future.” At that moment, she had yet to reach a position where she could be a proper match for him and attend the Knight pack’s banquet.He didn’t get a response from her,

    He brought Taya to the jewelry area. All he did was ask if there was anything she liked. Taya said no so he asked the shop a*sistant to send the latest collection of diamond jewelry to the villa without asking any further questions. The shop a*sistant glanced at Taya with envy, then replied respectfully, “Yes, Alpha Knight…” Taya, who was led out of the jewelry area by Griffon, stared at his back in a daze. He was sending her cars, flowers, and accessories. Was he going to send her clothes next? As Taya expected, Griffon took her to a clothing department selling haute couture garments. This time, he didn’t even ask for Taya’s opinion and directly asked the shop a*sistant to pack up a bunch of clothes. Seeing the shop a*sistants frantically helping her pack clothes, shoes, and bags, Taya rubbed her forehead in helplessness. She lowered her head and looked at Griffon, who was kneeling on one knee and helping her try on a pair of crystal high heels. “Who taught you all these tricks?” Con

    Right then, the National Space Administration was funding her project with about 10 million dollars. It was enough to repay Neil for the favor he had done her. If not for his “eloquent” and “careful” teaching over the past couple of months, she wouldn’t have improved so fast. After finishing all of that, Taya turned on the computer. She clicked on various construction-related software, and self-study videos. She was a design student, so she had learned how to use all those software in school. She only had to review the process a few times, and she should be able to remember it. She was rushing to complete a project at that moment, and all she had was a sketch. After completing her sister’s projects, she had to continue taking on other projects as well. Since that was the case, she had to go through the entire process from sketches to post-production renderings. That way, she could grasp every link faster and more clearly. She continued studying until ten o’clock. In an attempt to take
