Selena's POVI was skillfully painting on the canvas with my right hand. At the moment, I had a hat and scarf on to keep my ears warm. I pulled the scarf up to cover my mouth, leaving only my nose exposed for breathing, and continued to paint.We painted until noon, and then everyone went back to town to grab a bite to eat. After our meal, we took a short break. As the sun shone and the warmth enveloped us, we returned to the bridge to continue our painting session.Since it was getting hotter due to the rising temperature at noon, I had to remove my hat and scarf. I also took off my coat and put it aside.My boss approached me, squatting down beside me, and carefully examined my painting. "I have faith that your work will stand out, and you never cease to amaze me..."I pursed my lips and smiled. "Thank you, I've learned from the best."My boss sat down on the dry grass, his gaze fixed on the lake, which was gently rippling with waves of light. He spoke slowly, "You know, I've encoun
Writer's POV Selena, who had just woken up, was completely bewildered when she saw a woman almost shoving her claws into her face. "Who are you? And why are you shoving your claws in my face?" Selena asked, clearly confused. Upon hearing Selena's words, the woman frowned and became more and more furious. In order to maintain her dignity, she forced herself not to vent her anger. Instead, Abigail, who was next to the woman, stood up and said sarcastically, "Selena, stop pretending! Some people said that your boss never went out after he sent you back yesterday. He was with you all night!" Selena blinked and asked, "Is that what all this is about? Don't you know where Mr. Martin's room is?" Abigail raised her head and said with a little pride, "This is my boss who also happens to be Mr. Martin's mate." Abigail glanced at Selena provocatively, as if to say, it's your final days, girl. "Oh..." Selena reacted very calmly. She looked at the lady and said politely, "So she's my bos
Writer's POV As Martin spoke, Abigail's face turned pale and she panicked. She looked at her boss for help, "Miss Sylvia...." Sylvia turned her face away as she looked at her mate, her stern face showed that she was angry. At this moment, she could not protect herself, so how could she defend Abigail? It would be better to fight for herself and save her marriage. "Abigail, I took you like a sister and trusted you, why did you lie to me and want to ruin the relationship between my mate and I?" Abigail's pupils shook violently, and she looked at her boss in disbelief. She didn't expect that she would not only want not help her but also put all the blame on herself. Suddenly, her eyes became red and misty, and she was about to cry. "I didn't do anything wrong or caused troubles.." "It's a lie!" The lady who defended Selena earlier spoke before she immediately added, "You spread rumors about Ms. Selena and my boss, we are all witnesses!" Abigail bit her lips tightly and didn't s
Selena's POV Rufus's unexpected appearance at the hotel took me by surprise. He lifted me into the car and allowed me to sit directly on his lap. The car's heater was turned up high, so I didn't have to worry about getting any colder. I let out a sigh of relief as I leaned against him, feeling weak. I was clearly exhausted, but I didn't want to fall asleep. I breathed in the nice scent of Rufus's body, feeling incredibly comforted and almost wanting to savor it forever. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Rufus pick up a water bottle, unscrew the cap, and take a sip. "Here, have some water." He handed me the bottle after taking a drink. Without hesitation, I opened my mouth and took a few sips. My throat felt much better. Suddenly, I remembered, "You... you drank from it directly." My face instantly turned red. Rufus chuckled, "It's not like we haven't already kissed, why do you care about this?" "Don't say that." I quickly covered his mouth with my small hand, but it was t
Selena's POV My throat was scratchy but quiet. Rufus turned his head away, as if he didn't hear me. He gently sat me down in the chair when he finally sat down. The servant quickly served dinner and then left. There were three of us at the table, me, Rufus, and Samantha, with the maids standing. Lillian was nowhere to be found. It seemed like she hadn't left her Spell room unless it was important. We ate quietly, with the occasional clinking of spoon.. Samantha kept staring at me from time to time. I quickly ate, got up, and said, "I'll go back to my room to take a shower first." Without waiting for Rufus to respond, I had already made my way upstairs. The heating in Yellow Moon Pack was too poor, and I hadn't taken a good shower in the past two days. Now, after dinner, I just wanted to take a comfortable shower. I had just made my way upstairs when Rufus's voice sounded, "Take a shower later. It's not suitable to take a shower just after dinner. Don't wash your hair
Rufus POV Selena has been sick for a week. Although she didn't have a headache again, she was not in good spirits. She always coughed and couldn't cheer up. I pushed aside all my work and took care of her in the house every day. Now there's every possibility that she's the white wolf with the blood of King, I couldn't allow anything to happen to her. Davies came over every day with many company documents and also the pack issue. My phone ringing suddenly jolted me out of my thoughts. I swiped the screen connecting the call, " President Rufus, do you know we actually have a project to win? If you're not interested in winning, I am. Why haven't you come to the company for the past days?% Right now, i was in the kitchen watching a video on iPad to learn how to make bear pepper soup. I wore a pair of black headphones on my ears and opened my lips. "I have something that is really important to do and I can't go to the company these days." "What is so important to you if not your
Long Episode !!! Rufus's POV I was still in Lillian's spell room but my wolf, was getting uncomfortable all of a sudden. *Rufus, Selena!* Eclipse said at the back of my mind and I almost scoffed. *Dude! We just saw her an hour ago. She's definitely fine." I rolled my eyes as I block him out and turn to face Lillian who has a frown on her face. "Is something wrong? Why is there a frown on your face?" "I think something is wrong...." "With the spell?" I raised my eyebrows to her.. "No! Not that. Something else is definitely inside this house.." Before I could say something else, Lillian was already out of the spell room. "Your contracted bride Rufus.." Lillian yelled from outside the spell.. "Wait, what? My contracted bride.." I also rushed out of the spell room as I was already behind Lillian.. Lillian and I had just taken a few steps forward when we suddenly had a loud scream. The scream was not just an ordinary scream. It was a powerful scream that made my w
Writer's POV Rufus remained silent and didn't respond to his cousin's opinion on love. Yes, Edward is Rufus's cousin, and Edward's parents were the ones who adopted Samantha. Edward looked around and asked, "Where's my baby sis?" "She might be sleeping upstairs." Hearing Rufus say that Samantha might be sleeping upstairs, he decided not to go see her. Ava effortlessly took out three cups from the wine cabinet, opened the good wine brought by Edward, poured a cup for each person, and sat on the sofa, with a tone of watching the melons hanging out. "I'm telling you, you sure don't want Edward in Nightfall pack. Because she sure gonna cause chaos but in Nightfall pack and Shadow pack." Ava only mentioned Shadow pack because Shadow pack was very next to Nightfall pack. Edward pursed his lips and sneered: "May the moon goddess have mercy on whoever I catch flirting with my mate..." Ava took a breath and glared at Rufus, as if she was looking at the murderer of him. Rufus turned
