While feeling dreadful, Samantha returned to the sewing room to finish the remaining tasks. However, she wasn't as terrified this time as she had been because the invitation she had received from Neither had been carefully hidden in her locker, where Carol White was not likely to look.Samantha's only task that day was to sew and apply all the finishing touches to the outfit Ananas Stein would wear for the momentous occasion.The significant occasion would occur the following day at the Dauntless family home.The evening had already replaced daylight. Samantha remained in the sewing room even after everyone had returned to their houses to finish up the lovely outfit Ananas Stein requested."You're the one who comes before everyone else is awake and goes home after everyone is asleep. Do you spend your life working while your boss sleeps on his expensive, soft bed?" Samantha was ready to wrap the garment in protective plastic to keep it from getting dusty when someone inquired, shockin
Tristan never thought he would speak something like that to his uncle, Vaskal Stein. Ananas might have issues if he found out about this. But suppose he agreed to Vaskal Stein's suggestion to marry Adelia Dauntless, whose pheromones he had utterly rejected to the point of expulsion. In that case, he might also run into trouble.Tristan also got the idea from Vaskal's quick request that his uncle be a little strange about asking for something he couldn't get.Tristan was aware of several of their business issues during the last two years. The worst was the vineyard Berseker recently wrecked, which would prevent them from making wine for several years. However, if Tristan had to consider Vaskal's comments regarding his family's diplomatic ties with other Packs, maybe his uncle was right.Because of how crazy things had already become after he had pushed Adelia Dauntless, Tristan was sure the party Elrick Dauntless would be hosting would be incredibly chaotic. Tristan was sure everyone f
"Am I really going to the party, sir?""Of course, you're going with me, and I'll pick you up before the party starts, and you'll get everything you need to fulfill this invitation," Tristan said while showing the invitation he received from Samantha, then gave it back to Samantha."There will probably be tons of people there, and you won't know anyone except me, Ananas, her husband, and Sean and Vaskal, who you met yesterday. And for that completely unplanned encounter, I truly apologize. I didn't mean to be negligent and let you meet my uncle instead." Tristan conveyed sincere remorse.Vaskal had requested Sean to pick Samantha up and take her to their mansion, but Tristan had missed it. Who knows what they had discussed before Tristan noticed how terrified Samantha was?Tristan never once closed his eyes to see if his uncle was trying to rebel. Still, he knew his uncle would do anything to take the throne that Tristan now occupied and that his father had left to him. As a result,
Samantha, who was fast asleep beside him, was being held when Tristan woke up. Tristan didn't push her away for the first time as they both woke up naked in the same bed. Even though she lived in a run-down setting like this, Samantha's skin felt incredibly smooth and shining in Tristan's hands. He even rubbed her cheeks.A chandelier in the room constantly glittered and dazzled him every time he opened his eyes. Still, only a light bulb that was even slightly yellowish in color was dull. The ceiling in the room appeared to be extremely close, as opposed to the top of his room, which was quite far away.The apartment's walls were beginning to peel, there were cement fragments on the floor, the bathroom was covered in crusts, and the drains were constantly clogged, emitting a mildly unpleasant odor. Tristan could not stop sniffing the smell the entire night, eventually making him queasy. On the other hand, Samantha did not appear to feel what Tristan did, or perhaps she was so accust
As if unable to refuse Carol White's invitation, Tristan entered the workroom of the woman who owns the boutique, he sat down and was given a cup of coffee by Carol. A cup of black coffee with a fragrant aroma made Tristan unable to refuse the cup of coffee he got from Carol. Slowly, Tristan lifted the coffee cup, still steaming hot, and sipped."You like it?" Carol White smiled because Tristan wanted to drink the coffee he served."It smells terrific. What kind of coffee do you use?""Arabica Gayo. Common brand coffee is quite popular, and I bought it at a big market in Southeast Asia while on vacation last month." Carol explained while pulling up a chair to sit right beside Tristan."I thought a successful, wealthy, and independent woman like you would just like all kinds of expensive things that are extraordinarily luxurious, but I guess I was wrong.""I really like all things that are expensive because the quality of something that has a high expansion value will provide great sa
After leaving Carol White's boutique with Samantha, Tristan couldn't help but sigh. Tristan could still feel the terror he experienced when Carol White attempted to tease him by placing her fingers on his chest, even after they had traveled quite a distance from the shop.Tristan had to admit that his rejection of omega pheromones limited everything in him, but that didn't mean that when he didn't experience rejection of one pheromone, he would act like a wild animal. It was more that he had never liked a woman as aggressive as Carol White was to him, and the women he had dated before weren't women like that."If you still feel uncomfortable, let's stop at the coffee shop first, maybe it would be better if I bought you a cup of coffee, sir?" Samantha tried to offer but was already uneasy about Tristan's peculiar actions after leaving Carol White's office. Tristan, though, declined. He thought he had had enough coffee for the day."But, what were you saying about your uneasy feeling w
Tristan entered the elevator while carrying the dress Ananas had instructed him to wear to the Elrick Dauntless function. There, he encountered several wolves who were doctors; they all gave Tristan bows and good morning.Samantha was even shocked that they appeared so obedient. That obedience made Samantha unable to move when shown a remarkable display she had never seen before, unlike Tristan, who didn't care about people's thoughts toward him.Even though he frequently observed top-notch professionals, including artists, authorities, and others, surrounding Carol, not a single one of them ever made a bow in front of her, unlike the way the physicians and other staff members did for Tristan as they strolled.Not merely saluting and bowing. However, they were also observed unlocking the door for Tristan to enter and allowing him to freely roam.Samantha had no idea that being the patriarch of an affluent family like the Steins would entail receiving favorable treatment from everyone.
Samantha turned to face Tristan, squatting beside Gabriel Willow's chair. Tristan hid his face behind his hands, displaying his intense frustration with his situation. Samantha was unaware of Tristan's struggles, though.Samantha did not know what to do at the Dauntless family's upcoming celebration. However, Tristan and Ananas had instructed her to come and simply go with Tristan. Samantha, though, was genuinely unsure of what to do."Lady Ananas," Samantha finally volunteered to ask Ananas."Yes." I am trying to figure out what I should do there for the party to be held by the Dauntless family."Nothing. You just have to be Tristan's companion during the party. There's nothing you have to do during the event, you just have to hold Tristan's hand and calm him down if anything happens.""Something like what?""Something like him throwing a tantrum because he's heard too much useless talk from people at the party," Gabriel interjected."Hey! You think my temper is that bad?!" Tristan
Year after year passed, and Tristan got better at leading the Stein Pack. His business, the real world, and the people around him slowly improved. In fact, Tristan has also received recognition from everyone who once underestimated him. All the Pack Alphas who underestimated him have given recognition and a lot of praise to Tristan because of the young leader, including Elrick Dauntless, who was hostile to Tristan for rejecting his daughter as a mate and now, Elrick Dauntless also provides a lot of opportunities for Tristan to win some large shares in the Dauntless company and have more control in the business.There have been no problems whatsoever in the last few years of his leadership. Even the smaller Packs that had disagreed with Tristan had joined him in devoting themselves to Pack Stein, making Pack Stein bigger than ever.Everything was getting better. It's just that when things got better, Ananas, who had become part of the Lycans, decided to stay in Norway, in the castle o
"Why did you ask those brats to go outside? Why don't you just let them sit here and listen to the answers to the questions you want to ask me, the king." Asked Vaskal Stein as if he already knew what Willow Ansver would do by asking Tristan and his son-Gabriel to come out of the room."I just want to defend your pride.""Pride, huh? What kind of nonsense is that?""There's never any nonsense among us old-timers, is there," said Willow Ansvers with a smile, but the same smile was not seen on Vaskal Stein's face. The middle-aged man's face still looked haughty and not friendly, just like always."You're the only one who thinks like that. You even acted so stupidly that you hurt your own hand just for defending that damn boy.""Oh, what do you mean by this?" Willow Ansvers raised her bandaged hand. She smiled and nodded, "You're right, I guess I was stupid enough to know that I cared deeply for our successors.""The affection you show will kill them slowly.""I'm afraid I can't be like
As he had promised Willow Ansvers, the king of the Lycan, Tristan returned to the Stein mansion. The return was welcomed by Delaltrik and Neither, as well as several wolf warriors who swore allegiance to Tristan after Vaskal Stein was injured by Barten Skovovich a few months ago. "Welcome home, my Alpha. Did you have a wonderful trip?" Delaltrik asked with a smile as he welcomed Alpha and his Luna home. "Do you have something to tell me, Delaltrik?" Tristan guessed. But Delaltrik shook his head as he handed Tristan an envelope with a wax seal covering the folds so no one would open it before it reached him. "Who gave you this?" "Mr. Douglas Stein. He came the day before yesterday and gave this to me to deliver to you." Tristan wanted to open the letter immediately, but Samantha asked him to open it in her study. At the same time, she would go inside and rest. Tristan agreed to that. Several servants immediately escorted Samantha to her room upstairs. At the same time, Tristan went
Tristan spread Samantha's legs, allowing her to freely wiggle her pelvis between Samantha's legs as she moaned in pleasure every time Tristan's penis touched her sensitive spot."Ah! Ha—ah! Ah! hmn... ah! Alpha ... my Alpha!" The sighs continued to echo with the breeze from the open balcony, playing with the hanging curtains. Although the whole room had a good airflow and felt very cool due to the sea breeze that did not stop blowing, the entire room was full of pheromones emanating from both of their bodies, making the air in the room seem to be replaced by the pheromones emanating from both of their bodies.The moans that came out of Samantha sounded very loud, making Tristan even more aroused because of the pheromone scent he smelled from Samantha's body. Since Samantha got her wolf in hand, the scent of pheromones that had always been faint for Tristan could now be smelled very clearly in Tristan's nose and aroused him every time."Ah! Ah, ngh! Ha-ah! Hon, this is so good, I can
A cup of coffee was served to Samantha, who was enjoying the clear view of the sea from the balcony of a hotel room that she and Tristan had rented a week ago.Samantha smiled at Tristan, who had brought her a cup of coffee, and hugged and kissed Samantha's cheek as she thanked him."I didn't know that an Alpha who is a little arrogant and grumpy in front of others could be this romantic.""Do you think I would do such a thing in front of my own Mate?"Samantha smiled. She touched Tristan's jaw, and they kissed. Their lips were pressed together, a kiss that was getting more intense but had to be interrupted when the door to their room was knocked on by the room service officer from outside. Tristan snorted in annoyance, but Samantha tried calming her Alpha down and said she would see what the room service man wanted."I'll look at it for a while.""Next time I'll put a 'don't disturb' sign on the door." Tristan grumbled, but Samantha only smiled in response to her mate's annoyance.Wh
"Why are your hands shaking like that?" Willow Ansvers asked her son, who was wrapping a bandage around a severe cut on his palm."It's been two months since we left Northern Eurasia and your wound is still like this, father." Gabriel said, still wrapping the bandage around his father's hand.As he had said two months ago when they were in Northern Eurasia, his father got the wound because he had held Tristan's silver gun, which made his hand peel off. Even the bones of his palm were visible when the glove was removed from his hand, the flesh of Willow Ansvers' palm. However, Willow Answers just smiled and said that maybe this is what Tristan and his late father, Dominic Stein, felt when holding the silver gun."But it's not just about how it feels. It's about your health and condition, father. We all know the effects of silver and Wolfsbane are equally harmful to our wolves' bodies. Even though I know that you are very strong, it still doesn't have to be like this just to help that d
After getting such orders from Tristan, Neither immediately left the room and went inside. What he did not expect was that Samantha was still asleep. Still, it turned out that the woman who had been his close friend at the White & Co fashion house was already awake and listening to Tristan's conversation with Calissa Skovovich."Don't ask too many questions. I want you to do nothing." Neither ordered.Samantha could only nod weakly. She knew that there would be another attack by Barten Skovovich that night.While Neither kept Samantha in the room, Tristan walked out, ignoring Calissa Skovovich in the room, Willow Ansvers, and a few Elders who did not comment at all on Tristan's conversation with her.Tristan's steps were followed by Killian Fayez, Gabriel, and several wolf warriors who had come with him from London to Northern Eurasia. They walked with the pressure of the anger released by Tristan. They could smell the potent pheromones emanating from Tristan, the scent of anger and h
The car carrying Calissa Skovovich stopped in front of the cabin house belonging to one of the Elders in her Pack. However, almost all the wolves on guard there instantly surrounded the car Calissa Skovovich was in, all looking very wary and maybe even ready to attack if Calissa Skovovich was going to do whatever spa they didn't want."My lady, what should we do?" asked the driver who drove her there. The driver was visibly shaking with fear. Not because they were currently surrounded by wolf guards who were, of course, very strong. But those wolf guards and warriors also seemed to be able to kill them whenever they wanted, even without orders, because the driver was carrying Calissa - their main enemy."Don't do anything. I'll go down, but not with you." Calissa said as she pulled the door lever and exited the car.All the wolf guards and warriors looked even more alert, as if they would not tolerate the slightest suspicious movement by Calissa. Calissa herself did not try to do any
Tristan's order sounded absolute, making Neither and Killian, who heard it, no longer hesitate to attack their enemies.And as expected by Tristan, the soldiers who had served Vaskal Stein all this time now chose to turn to him. All of them were fiercely loyal and attacked blindly. They killed, clawed, shot and bit mercilessly like mad dogs that had just been released from a cage.Gabriel, who saw that, could only squint his eyes. He alternately looked at Tristan and Vaskal Stein's former loyal soldiers. In his mind, the Lycan prince thought that perhaps he was grateful that those people were now turning on them. Because if not, then they would all have a hard time dealing with those 'mad dogs'.Just as Tristan wanted, the Wolf warriors sent by Barten Skovovich all fell into terrible conditions. Their flesh was torn apart, blood pooled everywhere, and some looked no longer intact, like one hand or leg no longer in place. What a horrible death."Clean up all the bodies, if you want, bu
