Eleanor's POVI took Lawrence to the hospital. His injuries were so severe that the doctor said he needed surgery.Then, I stood in the hospital corridor, waiting for Lawrence to come out with trembling fingers.My clothes were stained with Lawrence's blood, which seemed to carry his scent. Surprisingly, at such a time, it could give me some comfort.'Is Lawrence going to die? I don't think so.'I had heard Madison once said that werewolves were very strong and had the ability to heal themselves. Harley had not attacked his vitals.However, I could see that Lawrence's wound was very deep. Even though he was a werewolf, he still needed to be hospitalized for a few days to recover. By the look of him now, he should be in great pain.I didn't know how things got to this point, but at the same time, I noticed a problem- It seemed that I worried more about Lawrence's well-being now than just letting him die.Why was that? Could it be that I didn't hate him anymore and even wanted nothing b
Eleanor's POVLawrence's hug made me feel scared. The scent of his body instinctively reminded me of every time I came in contact with him. Those unpleasant, humiliating past had turned into my nightmare.I shivered all over and pleaded to him, "Let go, Lawrence."I tried to push Lawrence away, but he didn't let go and continued to hold me. He seemed to crave the smell of my body and kept kissing me as he embraced me. It reminded me of the memory in the park as if the next moment, Lawrence was going to hold me down in some hidden place, and he would violate me again.I continued to push his hand. "No, don't touch me.""Lawrence, please, it hurts."He sensed my fear. He hesitated for a moment and finally let go of me. Then, I turned to look at him and met Lawrence's eyes.Lawrence frowned as he reached out to touch my face. "Eleanor, are you crying?"I instinctively took a step back while staring at Lawrence with the same fear in my eyes. Lawrence held my face as he lowered his head an
I tried to leave when I saw Lawrence had woken up, but he stopped me. Calmly, he spoke, "You are my wife in the legal sense. Now that I am injured and hospitalized, you should take care of me."Lawrence was seriously injured this time. Even if he was a werewolf, he needed to recover with the help of medical treatment, and needed to be hospitalized for a few days. Yet, spending time with Lawrence did not seem very convenient. After all, Logan and Stella might appear in the hospital. If they saw me, that would be a big problem.Lawrence noticed my concern and told me, "Don't worry, Stella doesn't know I'm hurt."I could see that Lawrence loved Stella so much that he refused to see her get hurt. However, did he really not tell Stella anything about his injury? To be honest, I was envious of Stella for having a brother who would do anything for her. On the other hand, I only had myself. Even if I was humiliated, threatened, and stayed with a temperamental man every day, I could only rely
While I was taking care of Lawrence in the hospital, Stella's arrival broke all the peace. I didn't expect that she already knew about Lawrence's injury and was planning to come to visit Lawrence in the hospital. At that time, I was standing at the ward door with food prepared for Lawrence and heard Stella's voice. I felt scared instantly, and I couldn't imagine how Stella would react if she knew that I was with Lawrence. So, I hid in the empty ward next door, and the moment I walked into the room, I saw Logan coming down the hallway. He must've come to visit Lawrence too.In the next ward, I heard Stella's worried voice, "How did you get hurt? If Logan hadn't accompanied me to the hospital for a medical checkup and seen you here, were you planning to hide this from me?"Lawrence replied, "Don't worry, a homeless man just attacked me on my way home from work."Stella sounded shocked and scared, "Oh my God, did you call the police? Did you catch the man who attacked you?"Lawrence said
Eleanor's POVAfter three more days in the hospital, the doctor was sure that Lawrence's health was in order.I was still packing up Lawrence's things from the hospital, some changes of clothes and medications prescribed by the doctor, and so on. I heard a message notification sound from my cell phone in the middle of that.No Name: [Eleanor, where are you now?]I clicked on my phone to check it, and the number on it had no notes, but I knew that it was Logan's new number. To keep Lawrence and Stella from knowing that he had contacted me secretly, he had changed his number and used it to send me messages.When I didn't reply, Logan looked a little anxious and texted me again.Logan: [Eleanor, please don't ignore me. I'm worried about you right now. Are you with Lawrence? When I was visiting Lawrence in the hospital, I heard the nurse say that he had a wife. That's so strange.]Logan: [Please tell me that the wife is not you.]I knew what happened in the hospital yesterday had aroused
Eleanor's POVI lay in Lawrence's bedroom and fell into a deep sleep at his scent.When the door was opened again, I saw Lawrence standing in the doorway. His hands carried breakfast, milk, bread, and some fruit or something.His face showed signs of displease, but he still put the things on the bedroom table and tried to leave without saying anything.I spoke up just in time, "Can we talk?"I couldn't stand this anymore, and I knew that he would continue to keep me locked up if this problem wasn't resolved.I gathered my courage, got up from the bed, and tried to approach him, "Lawrence, you really misunderstand me. I haven't initiated contact with Logan."Like an irritable lion, Lawrence flared up at the name 'Logan', and he pulled me by the wrist and pinned me against the wall, "I told you not to bring up his name again."I met his eyes and really felt scared. I tried hard to calm him down, "Okay, I won't repeat it."I frowned, my palm seemingly cracked from the roughness Lawrence
Lawrence's POVI was surprised by Eleanor's initiative at that time. I also didn't know why I'd suddenly come back; after all, it was a rare happy and joyful time for me to spend with Stella. In the face of Stella and her friends, all I could think about was the image of Eleanor. She seemed to be resentful of being locked up in my house. That seemingly soft woman was tougher and more stubborn than I thought, always showing her claws when I didn't expect her to.When I saw her watching a porn video, I knew she was flirting with me. So, I'm enjoying taming my prey. I didn't think Eleanor would be the kind of person to sneak around the house looking at porn sites, and the look of fear on her face shows it.Eleanor was a bad liar, even when her mouth could tell me the lies, but the look on her face said it all. I knew she was looking for the video, one of us having sex in the underground parking lot. However, since she was willing to cooperate with me voluntarily, I didn't bother to expos
Lawrence's POVI found Eleanor's parents' home through the address provided by Mayer. I didn't expect them to live in a very remote and quiet town. There were not many residents around here. Eleanor's parents lived in a small two-story building. At the door, there were some beautiful daisies and roses. I thought the house owner must've been a hardworking and life-loving person.By the time I arrived in Bristol, it was already late evening. The residents of the town mainly had been asleep. Thus, I was alone in the streets. However, when I got to the home address, I could not scent any trace of people inside the house despite some of its open windows.Where were they? When Mayer called me, he said Eleanor's parents were still in town. But why did I not smell anything from their house? Could it be that Eleanor had found out about me? She might've informed her parents in advance and let them escape in advance if that was the case.However, I smelled some werewolves' scents shortly. I walk
