Taya took the orange and ate it, but she had no appetite. Her stomach felt sour when she swallowed it, and she almost threw up. Frightened that Harper would be worried, she endured it and managed to keep the bite down. Harper was probably in a pensive mood after talking to Damian and didn’t notice anything wrong with Taya. “Harper, did Damian tell you how many debts his family owes?” “Yes.” Harper nodded. After a pause, she told Taya how much money they owed. “Two hundred thousand. But he took his money to go back to his parents, not mine…” Harper was afraid that Taya would be worried about Damian taking advantage of her, so she tried to comfort her by telling her that her personal finances weren’t affected by what was going on with his family. Except, that wasn’t necessarily true. Harper paid for the mortgage of the house Damian had bought in his pack’s Arcadia neighborhood, but now that they were mated, Damian didn’t let her control any money. She’d heard of males becoming more cont
Seeing Taya let out a long sigh, Harper didn’t feel aggrieved but comforted her with a smile. “Don’t worry. It’s just a little money. I’ll make it back at work.” How could Taya not be worried about her? Taya knew how much money Harper had earned over the years. Although she had become the manager recently and didn’t have to work bottle service anymore, she still had to stay up late to earn money. Taya was afraid that Harper wouldn’t be able to take it, but Harper didn’t care about it at all. “What you should be most concerned about now is the relationship between you, Jackson, and Griffon, not me.” “I’ve broken up with both of them. Now, you’re the only one left by my side. I only care about you.” “Don’t worry. I’m able to work, and I’m a strong wolf. If anything happens in the future, I can handle it.” Harper was not afraid of abandonment, and she still trusted Damian now, so she was unwilling to dig too deep. If one day she found out that Damian had let her down or had other intenti
There was an accident during the kidnapping. Jackson’s mother died on the spot, and his father later fell into a coma. Jackson was picked up by human traffickers and sold to a family. Two later, his adoptive parents pa*sed away, and he was sent to the orphanage. Jackson’s brother was lucky. He was protected by his father and escaped the disaster. Later, the housekeeper found him and brought him home. But Jackson’s brother had had brain can cer all these years. He could only send someone to bring Jackson home by force to protect the Sterling pack, which he had obtained with incredible difficulty. Jackson’s brother knew about Taya’s existence, but he felt that her family background would not be able to help Jackson. Not only was she also an orphan who had no powerful connections to offer the Sterling pack, she also couldn’t ever be a proper Luna.Besides that, it would affect his mediation with his uncles, who were eyeing the Alpha position, looking for a chance to take control of the p
She quickly got into her car. Turning the steering wheel, she saw a red Ferrari driving over… The person who got out of the car was tall and carried a Chanel bag. When the woman saw Stella reversing the car, her face suddenly darkened. “Stella!” Tara didn’t expect to meet Stella in Griffon’s private home. Tara had never been to this place before. It took her a long time to find the address, but Stella could go in and out at will? Not acceptable! She was his mate-to-be, but Griffon hid where he lived. Tara, who felt wronged and angry for no reason, had no time to care her image, to care how she would be perceived as the future Luna of the Knight pack. She rushed forward and knocked on the window. “Stella, get out!’ Stella rolled her eyes at Tara. “Id iot!” She didn’t want to talk to Tara. She reversed the car and stepped on the accelerator. Tara didn’t expect Stella to be so dismissive of the Alpha’s mate. She was so angry that she clenched her fists and glared at the speeding car.Ste
Male shifters were not allowed to enter the gynecology department. It could be too much if their wolves were exposed to their mates in pain while delivering or going through contractions. After sending the pregnant she-wolf in, Damian sat in a chair in the waiting area. As soon as he turned around, he met Taya’s sad gaze. He was shocked and took a few steps back to stabilize himself. “Taya, why are you here?” are you here?” Damian looked visibly panicked. He probably didn’t expect Taya to know about that. Harper told Taya everything, which made him a little unhappy. She was his mate, and she shouldn’t be sharing all of their business with her best friend. After a moment of fear, Damian quickly calmed down and explained to Taya without batting an eyelid. “I already went back. My sister wasn’t feeling well, so I brought her to the big pack hospital to get checked out.” On the surface, this made sense, but… “Your sister?” How come she had never heard that Damian had a sister? “She’s preg
Damian had always complained about being poor before Harper. But he had the money to bring his sister to such an expensive private hospital? Harper began to suspect that the $200,000 Damian had taken was for his sister’s treatment. If she was really his sister, it would be acceptable to spend the money on her. If she was not… Harper glared at Damian. Damian’s heart trembled, but he didn’t show it. He took the fruit basket from Harper’s hand and explained, “My brother-in-law doesn’t lack money, but he is abroad and can’t come back to take care of his mate in time.” The woman also chimed in. “Harper, right? I’m sorry my mate is not by my side. It just so happens that Damian has just returned, and I felt the pup’s movement. I had to trouble him to bring me to a bigger hospital in Arcadia as soon as possible…” She glared at Damian and said, “It’s all your fault.I asked you to inform my sister-in-law in advance, but you were so nervous that you forgot about it.” The first sentence made Ha
As soon as Harper said this, Michelle, who still wanted to say a few more sarcastic words, immediately stopped talking. Only then did Harper ease up. She look at Damian and said, “I still have to work tonight. Please take care of her.” Damian nodded, picked up the car key, and said, “I’ll give you a ride.” “No need. I’ll drive.” After Harper refused, she took Taya’s arm and left the OB/GYN section of the hospital. Michelle immediately sat up after they left and said to Damian, “Help me understand. Why do you have to return the money to her?” Damian glanced outside. After ensuring they were far away, he replied, “I’m afraid she won’t believe me if I don’t return the money to her.” Michelle snorted indifferently, her charming face full of resentment. “ Just how much longer do I have to wait?” Damian stepped forward, touched her belly, and comforted her. “Michelle, be a good girl.After she pays off the mortgage, I’ll take you to live in the city.” Hearing that Damian would take her to l
Even though what Shelly said sounded like an insult to Taya, it sounded like fear to Stella. Stella hurriedly stepped forward to stand in front of Taya and apologized on Taya’s behalf. “Ms. Leiner, this patient didn’t know your identity, so she dared to say that to you. I’m really sorry. Please be magnanimous and let her go.” Stella’s humble pleading made Taya feel even more apologetic. “Stella…” Taya wanted to say she didn’t lower herself, but Stella stopped her. “You’re just here to get the medicine. I’m not familiar with you. I won’t treat you anymore if you dare to say anything to make Ms. Leiner unhappy again!” Stella was trying to distance herself from Taya. She seemed to want to protect her, so Taya knew better and stopped talking. Although Taya felt the woman before she was too arrog ant, Stella seemed very afraid of her. In order not to cause trouble for Stella, she could only endure it. Shelly snorted. “You should hand her over to me.” Surprised, Stella raised her head. “She
