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
When I got home, Eleanor stayed still in the villa obediently. It gave me a lot of peace of mind. At least I didn't have to worry about her running around or even trying to escape from me.If the werewolves were obviously coming for Eleanor, it was very dangerous for her. I had to stay with this woman and make sure she wasn't out of my sight until I knew who she was and where she came from.I set up some people around the villa to protect Eleanor. They were werewolves. Even if the werewolves found this place, they could fight each other.I hesitated to tell Eleanor about her parents, but I decided to hide it in the end. Eleanor didn't have any werewolf power. Even if she knew the news of her parents' accident, it would only make her worry.Eleanor was very surprised at my sudden return because she was still looking for something in my room. When I appeared at the door, she sat at my desk and was touching my computer. I thought she might be looking for that video again or determining w
Eleanor's POVLawrence's sudden return frightened me. I didn't expect him to come back so soon. Moreover, he almost found out that I was looking for the secret of that video. Still, fortunately, he didn't seem suspicious.The man had been troubled since he came back from Bristol. Lawrence didn't go to work in the company and mostly stayed in the villa. It was as if he didn't want to leave me at all. Even when he went to bed at night, he would suddenly wake up and check whether I was lying next to him or not. I thought he might be afraid of my sudden escape.I was already tired of his imprisonment and surveillance, but I could only choose to endure it. I literally did nothing every day. In this cottage, I either just watched TV or watered the garden.I couldn't even have a phone because Lawrence was afraid I would contact Logan. I was also afraid that he suspected Logan and me, so I didn't dare ask him for it. However, this wouldn't work. I decided to take the initiative, so maybe Law
