Eleanor's perspectiveAfter getting off work, Lawrence and I are going to the nearby mall to buy something. Lawrence told me that Luna was now in a very nice town in Manchester, living in a very nice manor with a lake around it.I couldn't wait to meet Luna. Manchester was a big city, but the town where Luna stayed was not substantial. It was a place with inconvenient traffic. There were only some small shops in the town, so I wanted to buy some things for Luna that could only be bought in the Vatican to sustain her daily life.While picking some gifts with Lawrence, Lawrence and I spotted a suspicious figure. It looked like a little girl, but Lawrence and I couldn't see clearly what she looked like with the hat on. However, she was following us for sure.I held Lawrence's hand, a little scared because hunters might target us. Lawrence shook his head at me, signaling me not to worry. We eventually left the mall without buying anything. Lawrence touched my face as he said, "Eleanor, I
*Lawrence POVBefore Eleanor met me, she lived as a human for more than 20 years and learned from human families. That might be the difference between Eleanor and me. So, in fact, I couldn't understand the woman's feelings for Jack and Eve. For me, they were dangerous enough to threaten her life.Although werewolves were very similar to humans, we still had differences. For example, we still preserve our animal nature and tend to solve problems by violence, especially in the face of danger.However, since it was what Eleanor wanted, I should let that thing go. I just didn't want to see Eleanor sad. I could only believe in my heart that they were weak werewolves so that Eleanor would be okay.Soon, I got a message from Harvey.Harvey: [Eve is kidnapped. I want to see Eleanor alone.]Seeing the news, I looked at Eleanor, "Eleanor, this is a matter within their family. It has nothing to do with us."Eleanor was silent and looked at the message strangely. After a long time, she nodded and
Eleanor's POVI woke up and saw that I was already in Lawrence's bedroom. My head was still dizzy, and I felt very uncomfortable due to the drug's effect.I knew Lawrence might be in a very dangerous situation at that time. He went to Harvey and Eve instead of me. I was afraid. After all, Lawrence said that there were recently hunters everywhere in the Vatican.Harvey and his people certainly didn't dare to act rashly, but why did they do it at that time? There might be a conspiracy.I struggled to get up because the drug hadn't completely relieved me, but I wanted to save Lawrence. I used the wall of the bedroom to stand up. However, when I went downstairs, I stumbled on the stairs and fell down. It felt very painful, but that kind of pain made me wake up and feel relieved from the drug.I stumbled out of the house. I had to go to Lawrence at that time, but instead, I met Logan in front of the house. The man couldn't believe it when he saw me in a mess, "Eleanor, what's the matter wi
Lawrence POVIt felt very painful. In my sleep, I dreamed that hunters chased me. It seemed that I was dead at the scene. However, when I opened my eyes, I saw myself lying in a strange bedroom. The light was soft and completely different from the darkness in my dream.I smelled perfume, which was very strong and strange. Eleanor didn't like perfume, so I guessed that it was not our home.My head still felt very painful. When I thought about everything I had experienced before, I remembered that Harvey and the hunters had attacked me. It was Bena who saved me.Outside the bedroom came the sound of footsteps. Bena came in with some medicine and gauze in her hand. She asked me, "Lawrence, are you awake? How do you feel? Sorry, I'm afraid those people will come to the nearby hospital, so I can only take you here."I said to her, "Thank you."It was okay if we didn't go to the hospital to get treatment. After all, a werewolf had a strong self-healing ability, so I could still recover with
Lawrence's POVI still could not believe what Logan had said. Would Eleanor betray me? No, she would definitely not.It must have been Logan's fault, who had noticed that I was not with Eleanor, so he kept pestering her again. Being worried about Eleanor's safety, I struggled to stand up, which was painfully suffering because of my severe injury.Supporting me with her hands, Bena asked, "Lawrence, what are you up to?"I replied, "I'm going back to Eleanor. She's in danger now."Bena dissuaded me, "Forget her. Lawrence, she's quite happy now. She began to get entangled with her ex-boyfriend again since you've gone away. Is it right?" I glared at Bena. "Did you investigate Eleanor?" Bena just knew Eleanor for a little while, so if she hadn't looked into Eleanor, she couldn't have known about Eleanor's relationship with Logan.Bena said, "You know, it's precisely because I care about you. Lawrence, I love you so much that I want to figure out what that woman is brewing." Throwing Be
Eleanor's POVI felt like I was in such a terrible situation. Even though Eve was dead, I still could not forgive myself.How could I be stupid enough to put Lawrence in such a great danger. Eve told me that Lawrence had been killed, but I still didn't believe it.Lawrence and I got together after experiencing lots of disturbed difficulties. We even planned to leave London and go for my mother, but we were still on the verge of doing so successfully.After going back from the factory, I was suffering from painful headache. It seemed like that I was as sick as a dog. Without Lawrence for the rest of my life, I would rather die. Siting in the garden, I looked around, recollecting everything happened between Lawrence and me. No one was more miserable than I was now. Coming out of the villa, Logan brought me a glass of juice. "Eleanor, you haven't eaten anything all day long. Just have something first." Looking at him, I turned him down and kept siting in the chair in a daze. How I wis
Eleanor's POVLogan still had not come back yet. But fortunately, I was the only one in the villa, otherwise Logan would have also been attacked if he had been there with me.Those werewolves began to attack me, but they were so weak in power that they had to take advantage of the dominance in their number. But they also had been wounded by blows of the golf club.Then, I saw Charles aiming at me with his weapons. Grabbing one of the werewolves as a shield, I fended for myself when Charles released the shooting arrow to me. The arrow riddled his body, with his blood gushing out. And then, I threw him into the swimming pool.Charles continued to shoot the second arrow. Taking the advantage of agility, I jumped to the table beside the pool. At this moment, several werewolves began to launch an offensive against me, attacking me behind my back by sticks. Unfortunately, being struck seriously, I fell off the table. The moment when I lifted my head up, I saw Charles dashing for me, with hi
Eleanor's POVMadison and I went back to the apartment. I was very depressed because I kept thinking about Lawrence.I even tried to contact with Lawrence stealthily when Madison wasn't with me, hoping to get some responses from Lawrence, but his phone remained off all the time.Sitting on the couch, I was extremely depressed. Maybe Harvey told the truth – Lawrence was really dead.Coming out of the bathroom, Madison saw me calling on the couch. Then she asked, "Are you calling Lawrence?" Having no intention of telling her what had happened to Lawrence, I lied, "No, I'm just asking my colleagues for a leave, and telling them I won't be able to work recently." Madison said, "Yes, you are right. I think those werewolves may attack you on your way to the company.""Are you going to tell Lawrence about this?" Madison inquired. Seeing me shaking my head, Madison interrogated, "Why not? As your boyfriend, he is supposed to concern about and take care of you when you are in peril." Givi
Lawrence's POVThe days following my arrival at the wine estate were dull, and I seemed to have returned to my old life. Taking care of the company's business every day and accompanying Uncle Nathan to meet his business partners. He trusted and relied on me a lot. Perhaps because his son Parker was just an ordinary werewolf and I was an Alpha, he relied on me more than Parker.My presence made him seem very happy even though I had refused the invitation to join them in attacking the hunters. I hated Madison, and I hated the hunters who had taken Eleanor away from me. But I couldn't hurt them because I knew that Eleanor cared about them. So when I returned to Uncle Nathan, I simply helped him with his business affairs and refrained from involving myself in matters related to attacking hunters.After finishing my day of socializing, I returned to the estate. It was raining very heavily and it reminded me of the hunter named Jon. On the day he died, it was also a rainy day. I thought of
Eleanor's POVBecause I was worried about Harley's safety, I didn't ask him to go with me to Uncle Nathan's villa but chose to find Lawrence myself. I had been there before, and although the roads were not that familiar, I had a map that showed me the exact location. A cab brought me to the exteriors of the wine estate but the area around the estate was heavily guarded, with bodyguards patrolling everywhere. I didn't have an invitation; it was safe to assume that they wouldn't let me in. Just as I was waiting for Lawrence outside the estate, I saw Elsa and her hound, she seemed to be strolling around the property.When she saw me, she seemed very surprised, "Eleanor?"I was a little wary of her. After all, she was hostile to me because she liked Lawrence, Thoughts of ending my existence had crossed her evil mind.I nodded to her, "Elsa.""What are you doing here?""I want to see Lawrence.""Hah! Aren't you a bold one? You have no right to talk to him!" I replied, calm as ever, "Lawr
Eleanor's POVI went to visit Madison at the hospital again. Judging by her demeanor, she seemed to have recovered a lot, both physically and emotionally and that made me feel happy. Jenny was still in charge of taking care of her. Seeing Jenny reminded me of Lawrence. After all, Jenny was hired by Lawrence as a caregiver. Pulling her to the side, I secretly asked her if she had been in contact with Lawrence."Not really, but yesterday Mr. Mayer settled my salary," she explained."I see, thank you," I said.I walked into Madison's room, where she was sitting on the bed eating. Sensing my presence, she looked up and I looked at her. An awkward silence fell over the room. She was still angry at me for my relationship with Lawrence. Or maybe she didn't know how to engage with me knowing what she now knew. Likewise, I didn't know how to face her. A hunter who would threaten me and my child, and even kill my husband.The clock in the ward made an abrupt sound, and we both jumped up. Finall
Eleanor's POVI couldn't believe that Lawrence would choose to join his uncle. He was very well aware of what Nathan had done, it was too dangerous and he had promised me he wouldn't do that.I shook my head and looked at him. "Lawrence, don't do this... Please. You promised me that you wouldn't get involved in the war between werewolves and hunters. I'm sorry about today, but that was for a reason, and you know it."His expression was very cold, which reminded me of when I first met him."Yes, I did promise you, but you also promised me, didn't you? But you broke your promise. I waited for you but you didn't come. How do you think that made me feel?" There was a flash of anger in his eyes. "You disappoint me. I don't know how to love you anymore. You always have more important things than me, everyone around you will always be more important than me. You choose them, protect them, but ignore me. Eleanor, you know very well that I don't want this. I want you to love wholeheartedly me,
Eleanor's POVWhen I heard Lawrence's words, I felt a stabbing pain in my chest. I knew that this time, it was me who had hurt him. Between him and Madison, I once again chose my best friend. But to be fair, it wasn't a decision made without reason. I simply could not watch Madison carrying the terrible load by herself and do nothing. True friends don't leave each other in times of hardship and suffering. I needed to be by her side in times of need, and now was one of them. What Lawrence failed to realize was that there was more to my life than just him. There were my family and friends.I stood in the corridor, feeling very depressed. Because of physical exhaustion and discomfort, I leaned against the wall of the corridor while slowly squatting down. I needed courage and time to digest it all, and just as I was hugging my body to comfort myself, Madison's voice came to my ears."Eleanor?"I lifted my head and looked at her, "Yeah? Madison?""What's wrong with you? Feeling sick?" she
Eleanor's POVThe next day, I went to visit Madison in the hospital like I always did. However, that day was a little different. In the living room of our villa, Lawrence had already packed our bags and prepared our tickets to Mulu. I was to go to the hospital to inform Madison that we would be leaving. Lawrence had already thought of everything, even the reason."Just tell Madison that because of my work schedule, we have to leave and might not be back for a long time. Be sure to tell her that the company would not agree otherwise," Lawrence had instructed me to tell her. Now, that was a very valid excuse. Madison would certainly understand. Although I felt some guilt, I had to do it, I needed to keep my husband and child out of danger.When I came downstairs, Lawrence grabbed me and planted a kiss on my cheek.He hugged me saying, "Eleanor, I'll be waiting for you at the airport, and after you say goodbye to Madison, meet me there, okay?"I nodded, cupped his face, and said, "We sti
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
Eleanor's POVI accompanied Uncle Jon to Madison's room. She was pleasantly surprised when she saw her father. It had been a long time since they had seen each other.Madison apologized to Jon, "I lost my cell phone and haven't had time to replace it, I didn't mean to ignore your calls."I immediately interrupted them to say, "Don't worry, Madison, I'll get you a new one."Jon looked behind me and noticed that Lawrence hadn't followed me. He asked me suspiciously, "Eleanor, where's your friend?"Madison looked at me, "Friend? What friend? Eleanor, aren't you the only one who went to pick up my father?"I quickly dismissed their questions, "Ah, no. I got a ride from a colleague. He owed me one."To avert Madison's suspicion, I continued, "He doesn't know you, and I thought it would be awkward for him to come see you in the ward. Besides, it's a family reunion!"Madison shrugged and dismissed the thought. I took a deep breath silently and smiled at Madison, "Hey, guess who Uncle Jon is
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
