Eleanor's POVMulu was a very beautiful place, and the town where Luna lived was pleasant and peaceful.Lawrence and I boarded a flight to Mulu and to our surprise, we saw Logan sitting among the passengers. "Logan, what are you doing here?" I asked, cocking my head in confusion. Logan showed me his ticket and said, "I logged into your account and saw the information about your ticket order."Lawrence was very angry. "Logan, do you know what this is called?"Logan responded nonchalantly, "I just wanted to leave Vatican temporarily and travel to Mulu for a few days, I'm not following you."Lawrence sneered, "You're a real pain in the ass. First, you cheated on your wife and now you're sexually harassing my wife. Don't think I'll put up with you forever."The passengers around us heard our voices and looked over with a look of shock and surprise.Embarrassed, I tugged at Lawrence's arm and whispered "Just stop it."Lawrence's mood turned sour and he would not speak to me for the entir

Madison's POVA nagging thought kept swirling in my head. I tried to let it go, but it just wouldn't disappear. The feeling was something akin to the sting of betrayal. Of having realized a secret that had been kept from me my whole life. My best friend since childhood had been accused of being a werewolf. Up until now, I had always thought that she was human, just like me. But now, I wasn't so sure. It sounded crazy. Even I couldn't believe it. She had lived a normal life like the rest of us. She even got married and split up from that despicable Lawrence. Good for her. But how much did I really know about her? I'd known Eleanor for so long. We went to school together, slept in the same bed, shared our secrets, talked about boys, went on secret trips without our parents knowing and did normal stuff. We'd gone through the rituals of childhood and adolescence together. And we'd practically entered adulthood together. Sure, we went our separate ways career-wise; I was a hunter and s

Eleanor's POVLawrence deliberately put the phone on speaker mode to allow me to hear both sides of the conversation. I smiled inwardly. Good initiative, husband. Bena's anxious and frightened voice filtered through the speakerphones, "Lawrence! Finally! Where are you?"Lawrence replied, "With Eleanor."Bena was silent for a moment and asked in return, "You're not in Vatican, are you?""We are traveling out of town right now, what's going on?"I heard Bena's soft whimpers coming through. Lawrence and I looked at each other with our eyes widening, baffled as to what was going on.Bena finally started talking, "Lawrence, please help me. The owner of the company has been harassing me. I have a contract with their company and I have to stay and work with him. But his harassment and threats are making me miserable. Can you please talk to him? You're the only one who can help me."Lawrence thought for a moment and asked, "Your boss? Mr. Keaton?""Yes, you've met him before. He helped prop

Eleanor's POVLawrence and I fell into a pensive mood. None of us wanted to discuss the reality of the situation. None of us wanted to state the impending harsh truth. The strident ringtone broke the spell. I looked at Lawrence. He picked up his phone, looked at the screen and a frown appeared. Bena. I admired Bena's bravado to contact Lawrence despite sending him into the jaws of the hunters without any remorse.Bena's voice came through, "Lawrence, how are you?"I felt a rush of anger go through me. Lawrence and I looked at each other. The audacity of her asking about his health after putting his life at risk. "Bena, you lied to me."Bena was silent for a few seconds before asking matter-of-factly, "Lawrence, what are you talking about?""Bena, you told me that Mr. Keaton was harassing you and that you wanted me to intercede for you. Mr. Keaton never appeared at the bar. But do you know who I saw? A group of hunters! Really, Bena? Is that how you repay me? Do you hate me that mu

Eleanor's POVI looked at Bena's message with very mixed feelings. It was dangerous to meet Bena alone, but I had no choice.I had to protect my marriage and my family, and even though I knew that Lawrence didn't have feelings for Bena, this was different.I wanted Lawrence and I to be in peace. I would rather take care of this now than having to be wary of Bena's attempts at always hurting our happiness. Especially now that I was with a child. I stroked my belly, trying to feel the baby's scent from inside. I was so excited at the prospect of having a child. I wanted to give him all the best things in the world and let him grow up in a safe and loving environment. It was not too much to ask. But unfortunately, for werewolves, it was risky.So, that made it all the more necessary to remove all obstacles and dangers before the child was born. And Bena was one of those loose ends, I needed to take care of her. Hopefully, she would stay true to her word and leave for good. I reassured
