Stella's POVLogan had come back, living in the office right now. When I got the news, I was so ecstatic, because I knew I could finally see him.It was Logan's colleague who told me the news. He had seen my looking for Logan when I went to the company, so he had reserved his phone number before he left. He said that Logan's office door was open, and in the morning, some colleagues had even seen Logan getting out of his car and pulling his suitcase into the office. I hurried to Logan's company, heading directly to his office.At that time, Logan was packing. When he saw me, he didn't seem surprised at all. Now he was overtly different from before. In the past, he would be gentle and kind to me, although he never stepped forward to hug me and kiss me passionately like the husbands of other wives. But now, he would rather ignore me.I found it ridiculous that I had no idea of my husband's schedule, and when he came back to London from other places, he was not willing to go back to our
Stella's POVWhen I woke up again, I found myself lying in the hospital.The smell of liquid medicine filled all around. I was lying in my hospital bed, looking at the dazzling white ceiling, but my consciousness still failed to fully recover.My hand was in infusion. Perhaps because of the drug, my mental state was not very good. I had been drowsy, and I vaguely remembered many things.I thought of my first meeting with Logan. At that time, although he was a beta, he was so dazzling and outstanding, even in front of the powerful Alpha. He was gentlemanlike, and knew how to take care of the weak. When I met him for the first time, I knew that I must marry him.Perhaps this was the defect of being an Alpha. We were always full of confidence in ourselves. Even if we had the same face as human beings, we couldn't hide our inner predatory desire as a beast. Just like me to Logan, I was bound to win, but I had never thought about whether Logan himself was really willing to marry me.As lon
Eleanor's POVLawrence received a phone call and went out. He looked very hurried. I thought that phone call must have come from Stella. Did something happen to Stella again? I began to worry. After all, Lawrence and I had just contacted Logan, hoping that he could come back to Stella, but Logan didn't seem to listen, and he was very angry because Lawrence forced me to get married. I was not sure what Logan would do to Stella when he returned to London. But ... these things, they didn't seem to be in my control. They were powerful werewolves, and I was just a weak human being. It was very difficult to protect my life among wolves. Lawrence wasn't at home. I heard the voice of the staff delivering the mail outside, so I went out to sign for it. But when I first came into contact with the other person, Logan's face actually appeared under the man's cap. I showed a shocked expression: "Logan, why are you here?" I didn't expect Logan to be so bold as to find the villa where Lawrenc
Lawrence's POVI didn't expect Stella to think of Eleanor so soon. The text message she sent me put me in a dilemma.I knew I couldn't hurt Eleanor. It was not fair for her.When Logan came to Eleanor and wanted to take her away, I was furious. I even thought about killing Logan and imprisoning Eleanor by my side forever, but common sense prevailed, and I was in a dilemma, so I calmed down.To protect Eleanor, I had to cooperate with Logan.I looked at Eleanor and said, "Wait for me in the car first."Eleanor was afraid that I would hurt Logan and kept begging me, "Lawrence, please don't hurt Logan again, will you?"She stepped forward, grabbed my hand, and said, "I can leave with you and pretend that nothing has happened today. Logan is just worried about me. It wasn't because he wanted to be with me that he took me away. Please forgive us. I promise I'll go home with you."Eleanor's fear made me feel very sad. We were husband and wife. She shouldn't be so afraid of me, should she?I
Eleanor's POVLawrence took me home. Logan's car hit the factory wall and was badly damaged. He had to stay there to repair his car.On the way home, I sat in the passenger seat and felt uneasy.I didn't know what Lawrence had said to Logan, but their conversation definitely had something to do with my life and safety.Stella wanted to kill me. Would Lawrence listen to her?I thought about it for a long time, and I knew the answer was yes.After all, Stella was his dear sister and favorite woman. He didn't have to let Stella down and make her sad because of me.But Lawrence didn't kill me. He was driving me home.It gave me some hope. Maybe Lawrence didn't want me to die, but I didn't know what he would do.I tried to explain to him, "Lawrence, Logan received a text message from Stella and thought you would kill me, so he came to me."Lawrence replied, "I know."I said, "I didn't want to run away. I hope you can understand."Lawrence asked me, "Eleanor, if you and your mother are safe
Eleanor's POVWorking in the warehouse is a bit boring. We checked the variety and quantity of goods all day. We only met those who came to take delivery of the goods, and my colleagues in the company seldom came here. Jack and I were responsible for recording data and shipping. Some porters worked with us.Although Lawrence had just started his business in Vatican, his business was quite good. We received orders from all over the world every day. We must be careful in order not to make mistakes. My life was a little tiring but full. Although I had to go back to the villa to face Lawrence every day, I could get used to it."Please be careful and pack the goods for shipment. They will be delivered to Waston."I took the record sheet, wrote a few lines of small words on it, and finally finished my work.At this time, Jack came over and said, "Eleanor, it's almost time for lunch. I'll deal with the rest orders. Go have lunch first."I gave him the sheet and said, "Thank you.""Here is th
After the police took the young man away, only Lawrence and I were left at the scene.I looked at his injured hand and was a little worried: "Lawrence, how are you?"Lawrence shook his head: "I'm fine."I asked him, "Why are you here?"Lawrence instead asked me, "Why are you here?"I looked at the nearby path and said, "This leads to the company's restaurant. I was going to eat there."Lawrence asked back, "Why not go there from the company?"I hesitated and didn't tell Lawrence what caused the discussion among my colleagues. After all, the matter between Thea and Karin was already troublesome enough. If Lawrence fired other colleagues because of me, they would definitely talk more about my relationship with Lawrence. Maybe they would also know that Lawrence and I were married.I said, "I'm worried that if I walked from the company, I will meet other colleagues, or Stella...I don't want Stella to know that I'm here.""And you?"I was surprised by Lawrence's sudden appearance, but I ha
Eleanor's POVI knew Lawrence was angry again, but I didn't dare say anything. He always got angry easily, which was elusive and inexplicable. If I explained it to him here, it would only make him angrier, and everyone would discover my relationship with Lawrence.I silently took on the role of warehouse manager, and Jack took Lawrence and other people in the company to inspect the warehouse. Luckily, Lawrence just walked around to see if there was any problem and left. Before leaving, Lawrence asked the warehouse supervisor, "How many werewolves are there in your warehouse, including porters?"The warehouse supervisor was stunned, "I don't know, boss. Sorry." And he added, "It's a secret. If they don't reveal their identity as werewolves, we can't ask them about it. Therefore, even if werewolves are working here, they shouldn't want anyone to know their identity. So, I can't recognize."Lawrence said, "Try to find the werewolves and arrange other work for them. No werewolves are all
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
