Eleanor's POVParker's words had downright rattled me. A war between werewolves and hunters was about to begin and Lawrence and I would undoubtedly be caught in the middle.I didn't want to hurt Madison and her friends, I didn't want to see anybody hurt. Wars only brought death and misery. In the history of the world, wars had seldom proved to be a solution. Instead, it was known to wreak havoc, with repercussions rippling through and touching future generations.I wondered what choice Lawrence would make; would he go with Nathan and the others or would he refuse? It was not just an invitation from their family to him as an Alpha, but with the situation in the world right now, he had a duty to take responsibility for the fate and welfare of his pack.I knew that Lawrence hated hunters. They had been making his life a living hell. And with a child in the picture, I was pretty sure that he would prefer to create a safe environment for our child and all werewolf children growing up in t

Eleanor's POVI picked up the lollipop with Elsa's scent on it. That shocked me greatly. After all, Elsa was just a brat in my mind. I couldn't imagine her with the mob that attacked the hospital the previous night, where they mercilessly killed a wounded hunter. Was that something a teenage girl could and would do?I hurriedly left the hospital and went to the parking lot to look for Lawrence, who was still waiting for me there. Judging by the look on his face, he already knew about the incident. I slid into the passenger seat of his car."What happened at the hospital last night? I saw a lot of police officers guarding the place, they were lining up passersby and vehicles coming and going, and there were quite a few patients leaving the hospital. I overheard them saying that a few werewolves had suddenly attacked the hospital. Is that true?I nodded and replied, "Unfortunately, yes."I was a little distracted as my thoughts were about Elsa and the others. If they were responsible, h

Eleanor's POVI didn't know what Parker was up to, but my instincts told me that he was not as kind as he pretended to be. But between a Parker behind a façade and a hostile-looking Elsa, I decided to stick with the former. Parker seemed to be a safer bet. Besides, I wanted to talk to Parker about the attack at the hospital. Perhaps I could ask him about Elsa and Lawrence's history too.Although I was very sure that Lawrence had no feelings for Elsa, I couldn't just ignore this girl. She was dangerous, she was practically a walking time bomb. So I told Parker, "Alright then, count me in for the wine tasting. I'll come with you."With that, I left with Parker, leaving behind a seething Elsa in the living room. Parker first showed me around their vineyard, which was in the middle of a great harvest. The grape vines were in abundance in the vineyard.Parker plucked some of the grapes and passed them to the maids clean. He said they would pack and wrap them up in gift boxes for Lawrence

Eleanor's POVAs soon as we entered the car, my phone started ringing. Uncle Jon, Madison's father, was calling again."Uncle Jon."I sat in the passenger seat and glanced at Lawrence. He remained silent. I knew he was thinking the same thing as me. Why was Uncle Jon calling me again? Uncle Jon's voice came through the phone, "Eleanor, I heard about what happened at the Vatican hospital. Madison is in that hospital, isn't she?"Madison was a very strong girl. She certainly wouldn't tell Uncle Jon about the hospital incident so as not to worry him. However, Uncle Jon was bound to find out sooner or later. I hesitated. I didn't want to be the person who 'told on' Madison. However, it was becoming very dangerous to let Madison remain in Vatican.Perhaps, Uncle Jon's call was fortuitous. It was a very good opportunity to ask him to take Madison back to Bristol.Both Madison and Lawrence and I would be safe. I said, "Yes, Uncle Jon. They were attacked but she's okay.""Eleanor, Madison

Eleanor's POV In a suspicious tone, Uncle Nathan asked me, " That's strange, that hunter was with you two earlier. Eleanor, why would you, a werewolf hang around a hunter?" The way Uncle Nathan looked at me made me feel as if he was trying to probe a crime suspect. "And you, Lawrence," he turned to Lawrence and gave him an angry stare, "You disappoint me. Instead of helping me fight the hunters, you have now become friends with them." He continued, "Lawrence, you have betrayed our kind."Lawrence replied firmly, "No."Uncle Nathan was not satisfied with Lawrence's answer. "My dear nephew, you've gone overboard for this woman. As werewolves, we should attack and kill the hunters before they can even lay siege on us. And yet, when faced with them, you do nothing. Nothing at all! Lawrence, you are the Alpha, you should be doing your part for our pack, our kind! And yet here you are, accompanying this woman and acting as a chauffeur for that father and daughter hunter duo. Y
