Eleanor's POVIt suddenly rained during the night. It was a quiet and beautiful night in Bristol, and I was lying in bed, but I couldn't sleep. I listened to the sound of the rain outside and thought back to everything I had experienced recently as if I had suffered a nightmare. I kept reassuring myself, 'Eleanor, stop thinking about it, it's all over. You've started over, haven't you?'The rain was pounding on the branches outside the window. It was late at night. The streets were deserted, and any movement could be amplified and easily caught by us. I got up from the bed with an expression of panic and fear as I heard the sound approaching outside.I got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, not even daring to turn on the street light in my room. I quietly approached the window and carefully pulled back the curtain to look across the street. I saw a figure standing by the car, wearing a jacket with a hood, and since there was a street light right nearby, I was able to identi
Lawrence's POVWhen I learned that Stella had committed suicide, my heart felt like it would explode. I booked a flight to the Vatican overnight to get to the hospital as fast as possible and make sure my sister was still safe.When I arrived at the hospital, I met Stella's neighbor, Mrs. Watson. It seemed that Logan had not come home, and it was Mrs. Watson noticed that something was wrong with Stella and took her to the hospital. "This is terrible. She drank a whole bottle of sleeping pills. Why would Stella do something so stupid? I don't think I've seen Logan home in days, and Stella has been waiting for him at home. Why hasn't her husband come home? Is he out of town on business?"I thought even if I told Mrs. Watson about Logan's cheating, she wouldn't believe me. After all, Logan was very good at disguising himself. Before those things happened, Stella and I both thought he was a good, thoughtful husband. But that was how Logan always appeared to outsiders.Mrs. Watson said, "
Lawrence's POVLogan seemed to like that woman very much. Once I thought, Logan approached her to satisfy his poor vanity. Human beings are fragile and small. They are more likely to rely on people who are stronger than themselves. Stella, as an Alpha, couldn't give Logan this.Even if the truth about their marriage was because of force, he dared not resist what we asked him over the years. We knew this marriage made him feel depressed and painful. I thought Logan was just playing around with that woman, and soon Logan would get tired of her and abandon her because of the threat of Stella and me.But it seemed that Logan's feelings for that woman were serious. I didn't understand what that woman had. "Logan, Eleanor's life is in your hands. If you make Stella miserable again, I'll let you know clearly what regret is."Logan tried to stop me, "You can't do this to Eleanor. She's innocent. She's just a human. Please don't treat her like a werewolf, okay?""You have no right to bargain i
Eleanor's POVI met my friend on Sunday and asked something about werewolf from her. I realized that werewolves not only more powerful than human beings, but also smarter. So, nothing could cheat them. I must revenge step by step carefully, otherwise everything would be messed up.I didn't expect Lawrence to come back to me again. To be exact, I didn't expect him to return to Bristol so soon. Didn't you say Stella killed herself? With his love for his sister, shouldn't he accompany Stella in the hospital at that time? I soon realized what he said, Logan had come back to Stella. I was relieved by the news. After all, there was no need to worry about Logan coming to me, but the man who found me was Lawrence.He is a more complicated man than Logan. I was not sure if what he said was true. I could feel that he hated me to the bone. If Stella's suicide was true, he would kill me. So, could he be deceiving me? Was he trying to trick me by pretending to make peace with me?I thought of the
Lawrence POVI enjoyed the feeling of Eleanor touching me, which greatly satisfied my previous surging lust. Her body's smell, the touch of her skin, and the feeling made me enthusiastic from the bottom of my heart. Also, it was driven by my werewolf instinct.When we faced our mate, we could never keep calm and rational. Especially in the early stage of confirming a mate, so my desire for Eleanor would be very strong. Every time I saw her, I wanted to lock her in a place no one knew and let her use her body to meet my hot and restless heart. This sounded very cruel, but this is the werewolf, different from the beast of human beings."Are you really a human instead of a werewolf?" Finally I asked her. At the beginning, I knew she was my mate, but it seemed that she didn't know she was a werewolf. As her other characters, she indeed didn't behaved like a werewolf. But just now, she breathed deeply at my neck, which reminded me that she was also obsessed with my scent. "No."Eleanor's
Lawrence POVI didn't expect Eleanor to agree to my proposal so soon. However, she had no second choice. After all, the video was still in my hands, and she didn't want it to be seen by anyone.Eleanor sat in the rented apartment and discussed with me about her marriage, "I don't want my parents to know about our relationship, even my friends. So, I hope to keep our marriage secret from everyone and even hope you treat me as a stranger."In fact, I didn't want Stella to know about my marriage to Eleanor. So I agreed with her. However, as long as I could trap this woman around me, Stella and Logan would have the possibility of getting back together. I said, "Yeah, but you're going back to the Vatican with me."Eleanor looked at me and wondered, "But your company is here, isn't it? Also, here are Logan and Stella in the Vatican. I don't want to go back to face them. You also want me to stay away from Logan, don't you?"I replied, "My company in the Vatican has just started and needed me
Eleanor's POVEverything seemed so unreal. I didn't know how to describe my feelings at that moment. Lawrence and I were getting married. It sounded like a dream. Oh, my God, it was crazy. The werewolf who once hurt me and brought me nightmares had become my legal husband.When I returned to The Vatican, I lived in fear and shadow every day. I was afraid that Lawrence would suddenly go crazy and torture me as before. I was also afraid that Stella or Logan came to the door one day. I didn't want to face Stella's questions or see Logan's 'affectionate kindness' to me. All of that was terrible.Thanks god, Lawrence didn't touch me again, instead, he agreed that we slept in two different rooms. Lawrence asked me to move into his villa. It was a very nice place. I once dreamed of living in such a house one day. There was a garden that I could dress up at will, a bedroom that could see the beginning of the day, and a blue swimming pool that could be seen when I opened my eyes. It would be b
Eleanor's POVI never expected to meet Harley in the Vatican. He was my former colleague in the foreign trade company and had once helped me when Stella was looking for trouble. So, when he saw me, Harley looked very happy, "Eleanor, is it really you?"I looked at him stiffly for a moment before answering, "Oh... Hi, Harley. Why are you here?"The foreign trade company I worked for before was very far away from my current company, and it was a weekday, so it was very strange to meet anyone I knew.Harley said, "My sister divorced her husband. She wants to go back to the Vatican, and asked me to find her a house nearby. Also, I heard that you found a new job in Bristol. Why did you come back?"I could only lie to him, "Our company is developing business in the Vatican, and my boss knew I had been in the Vatican, so he transferred me back."Harley lamented, "So that's what happened. Anyway, it's good to see you again, Eleanor."I didn't know how to face him, because of Logan and Stella,
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
