Eleanor's POVHarley and I snuck out of the hunters' party, taking advantage of everyone's attention on Logan and Lawrence. Then quickly, we hopped into the car and returned to the villa. However, I was worried about Lawrence and Logan. What if the hunters caught up with them? Mostly, I was worried about Lawrence. Why did he wake up so quickly? And he charged to the party without wasting any time. What was he thinking? To come so close to the vicious hunters. Harley turned to me, "I'm sorry, Miss Eleanor. Mr. Lawrence called me and I told him about what happened at the party. When I saw that hunter stalking you, I had a feeling that they wouldn't have let you go. That's why I told Mr. Lawrence where we were."Harley was right. I didn't know what that Cook had to do with my biological mother, and how he had met her but it looked like he had become suspicious of me. Cook was grilling me about my parents when Lawrence and Logan appeared to distract the hunters. Talk about perfect timin
Eleanor's POVI was annoyed. Perhaps I shouldn't have gotten Logan to stay at the villa, perhaps I should have sent him somewhere elseHe and Lawrence were still going head-to-head, arguing nonstop but after realizing that I wasn't paying them any heed, they began to argue over some other petty issues.Although I left Logan and Lawrence at the villa, I still had to go to work, after all, Bena was still in Lawrence's company and I had to keep an eye on her.So I woke up early the next morning and the moment I set foot into the bathroom to wash up, I was greeted by the love of my life, Lawrence. He stood at the bathroom door, ready for me with my clothes and toothbrush.He gave me a kiss and said, "Good morning, baby."I thought it was a little strange, Lawrence never used to do that to me. He looked very suspicious as if he was putting on an act for the sake of raising a particular someone's ire. I narrowed my eyes at him and asked, "What are you doing?"Lawrence shrugged. "Eleanor, I
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
Eleanor's POVI said goodbye to Cook and returned to Luna's flower shop.Upon reaching the shop, I saw Lawrence. And Logan.I had to roll my eyes. What was he doing here?Lawrence looked very angry and was standing in the doorway of the flower shop confronting Logan while Luna stood at the sidelines, looking at them very awkwardly.Lawrence barked, "What the fuck are you doing here?"Logan retorted, "I don't owe you any explanations, Lawrence."Puzzled, I walked over and asked, "Logan, what brings you here?""I came to see you," Logan said, then he turned to Luna and continued, "And Auntie."Luna looked at Lawrence, then at Logan and finally at me. She asked, "This is...?"Without waiting for my answer, Logan pressed a beautifully wrapped present into Luna's hand and said, "Auntie, I used to be Eleanor's boyfriend."To which Lawrence promptly added, "Make that ex-boyfriend."Logan said, "But I haven't given up on her, I'm still waiting for Eleanor."Luna looked downright embarrassed f
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 POVLife in the Mulu was quiet and slow-paced but Lawrence and I enjoyed the rare moments of leisure.We had been helping Luna at her flower shop. She was getting old and she was getting slower. But she loved her job for it kept her busy. Luna was very happy having me here with her. After I graduated from university, I'd chosen to work in Vatican right away. And when my father, Peter died, Luna must have felt all alone out here. I wanted to bring Luna to Vatican to live with me and Lawrence. To have her closer to us. But Luna did not agree, she said she liked the town and that she had been living here for so long. Besides, she would not be able to adapt to the fast-paced life of Vatican. The slow life here suited her just fine. When we were alone, Luna finally cornered me and asked, "Eleanor, what exactly is your relationship with Logan?"I answered honestly, "Logan was my ex-boyfriend, he was married and had a wife."Luna said, "But you didn't know about this before, did
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 POVI joined Madison and had a couple of drinks with her at the bar. I didn't want her to continue focusing on Lawrence; my plan was to get her to forget tonight, and that she saw Lawrence. I doubted that she would let the matter rest though. But at least that would buy Lawrence enough time to escape. Madison sure kept her secret. She didn't let it slip that she knew Lawrence was a werewolf and that she was on his tail. As usual, I played the bimbo, as if I had no clue what was really going on around me. I couldn't afford to let her get close to Lawrence again. I also wanted to know how she found out that Lawrence was a werewolf. I had my nagging suspicions, but I needed confirmation. The moment I laid my hands on Bena, I swore inwardly that I would kill her with my own two hands. I bought a round of drinks for Madison and her hunter friends. They all seemed quite unsuspecting of me.It also looked like Cook kept true to his promise in keeping my real identity a secret fro
