In the evening, I asked Luna to go back to her room to rest for a while. She looked really tired, and she must have been shocked from the previous event. She refused to go back to the original bedroom to rest, so I let her sleep in my bedroom for a while.I prepared some food for Luna in the kitchen. During the kidnapping by the werewolf, I thought they would not be so kind as to prepare food for Luna.Luna drank some milk and fell asleep again. I sat next to her, thinking of what she had said during the day. Because of that, I became more and more worried about Lawrence. I turned on my phone and opened the text messages Lawrence had sent me. It seemed Lawrence was very concerned as he kept asking me where I was and texted me to be safe before he left for Bristol.I shouldn't have turned off my phone. I thought he would help me investigate the whereabouts of my parents. I didn't expect that he would rush back to Bristol and attack those werewolves to rescue my mother. I did that becau
Eleanor's pov:The next day, I left the forest and went back to the town.We had a funeral for Peter, and a lot of friends from town came to attend, including Madison and my dad's police colleagues.The police apologized to us: "I'm sorry. We haven't caught those werewolves yet. We have got reliable clues, and we can't determine why they attacked you. But please rest assured, we will not let them escape."Luna replied: "Thank you, you have worked hard too, we can understand."Luna told me that the reason why the werewolves attacked our house was that Peter offended them when he was working on the case.But I think there must be something else behind it.But why did Luna lie and hide all this from us?Now that the werewolves have disappeared, who could tell me this answer except Luna?Lawrence? No, I didn't think he would.Luna was in a very bad mood, and in fact, I was very upset about the passing of my father.Peter had a lot of friends in town, but we didn't have many relatives here
Eleanor's pov:After Peter's funeral was over, Luna also decided to leave.The person who came to pick up Luna was arranged by Lawrence. It was a human being. After all, Madison was there, and the werewolves around him dared not approach here.Lawrence told me that he had arranged a very safe place for Luna, and when she got out of the town, he would send some werewolves to escort Luna there.Hearing Lawrence's arrangement reassured me a lot.I packed Luna's stuff. Luna didn't have much to take with her, some clothes for changing, some documents and photos of our family.Luna called me over and handed me a deposit: "Eleanor, this is for you...""This is saved by me and Peter. I originally planned to wait for you to get married and give it to you and your husband to help you settle your life, but now..."Luna smiled bitterly and said, "We should have given it to you earlier. If Peter knew you were married without letting him know, he would definitely be very angry."I returned the depo
Eleanor's POVBack in London, I worked as a secretary in Lawrence's startup, aiding his work.Well, I didn't know the jobs as a secretary, since I neither majored in secretary in college nor had that work before.Mayer, Lawrence's assistant, had seen me before in the company in Bristol, and I was found by Lawrence because of him.Before entering the company, I made an agreement with Lawrence that I didn't want anyone in the company to notice our relationship, and he agreed, arranging Mayer for me. After all, if someone knew, it might cause some trouble.With a pretty face, the rich guy Lawrence was the popular one in the entire company, and many women loved him. "Did you see that? Boss is back!", they said.I was assigned to work in a cubicle in the office by Mayer, taking charge of the documents and files of Lawrence. It wasn't a hard job. Around me were some of my colleagues, including two young girls, who seemed very interested in Lawrence, since they would excite by the return of
Eleanor's POVMaybe it was because of the injury, I felt something was wrong with Lawrence. Even more wrong, why did he need to resist the smell of my body, and in that forest, why did Lawrence seem to recover a lot from his injuries after doing sex with me?Haven't done anything further, we heard the footsteps coming from outside the office. Was it Mayer? Maybe not, it belonged to a woman, since the sound of high heels was approaching.There was a knock at the door, "Brother, are you there?" Hearing Stella's voice, I was startled and hurried to look at Lawrence, noticing his eyes were filled with fear."May I come in?" Stella asked again. I looked into his eyes, begging him to find the solution. After all, if Stella found me here, there would be big trouble. What the hell, on my first day at work, I met Stella and was stuck in Lawrence's office.After putting his finger on my lips to keep me quiet, Mayer run to the door and stopped Stella, "Mrs. Stella, you can't get in."Stella soun
Eleanor's POVI already knew what I was going to face. I Should have gotten used to it, right? Lawrence was always so violent and unreasonable, and he wanted to take my body, and I couldn't resist.Laying in his bed and staring at the chandelier on the ceiling, my tears dropped. Somehow, I feel bad, no matter it was for Logan or myself. Where's Logan? Did he be killed by Lawrence? A bad feeling came to my mind: maybe Lawrence contacted Logan in disguise of me, took him to a remote place, and took his life.Logan still worried about me before he died, and he was subjected to such a risk for me. Logan had loved me sincerely, although he had cheated on me. Because of Stella, I couldn't stay with him. But I didn't hate him, after all, he was the man, I once loved, even if I lost my feeling for him. I didn't want to see him die in misery.But for now, I had lost the right to care about him. I couldn't get rid of my suffering. I was living in pain every day. Maybe death was a relief. But Lu
Eleanor's POVWhen Logan called over, I looked at Lawrence, whose face was very bad. I apologized to him, "Sorry, I just want him to get back to Stella as soon as possible. I don't expect him to guess it all."After a silence, Lawrence looked at me, and said, "Give me your phone." With hesitation, I gave back my phone. Lawrence put Logan on speaker."Eleanor? Is that Eleanor? Where are you right now?" That was Logan."Maybe I should ask where you are," Lawrence answered ironically.Having heard the voice from Lawrence, Logan stuck in silence before answering it, "Why do you have Eleanor's phone?"Lawrence laughed satirically, "You know the answer, don't you?"Logan was nervous, "Did you do something wrong on Eleanor? Listen, you can come at me, but don't hurt Eleanor!"Lawrence still laughed, "You're so touching, Logan. However, what can you do? Maybe you should get to back Stella, the person you should care about the most, instead of spending your time staring at someone else's wife.
Eleanor's POVWalking out of Lawrence's office, my colleagues were in the hallway for delivering some documents to Lawrence. When they saw me, they were stunned, followed by a look of disbelief. Only then did I realize that my clothes had just been unbuttoned and torn apart by Lawrence amid a struggle. Then I quickly covered the inappropriate part of my body, lowered my head, and run away.Instead of going back to work, I went to the bathroom. I looked so bad in the mirror, my hair was messy, my eyes were red and swollen, and my clothes were messy. If I was seen by my colleagues, they would spread my rumors. Before walking into the office, I straightened my clothes and hair and calmed down for a little while.When I stepped out of the bathroom, I heard the voice of my colleagues talking about me, "The girl who just came to our company had just been called to the boss's office." "I had just seen her in the hallway, her clothes undressed, and she seemed to have cried. I thought that so
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
