Eleanor's POVI couldn't believe that Jack had betrayed me. We had been good friends.My whole body was stiff, and I was trembling with fear. I looked at Eve and asked, "Did you kill my father?"Eve shrugged and said, "That's what Uncle Harvey did. Obviously, he acted faster than us, but he's crueler and stupider than us."I didn't understand why they attacked my house and even killed my father Peter.I had too many questions. I thought Eve might tell me the answers. I asked, "Why? What grudge do you have against my family?"Eve said, "Eleanor, I think you may have misunderstood something. We hold no grudge against your family. In fact, we have no malice towards the human couple. If they were willing to tell us where you were, we would be happy to let them go, but they didn't appreciate it."I was scared and furious, and I shivered.It seemed that my guess was correct. Luna and Lawrence hid the reason why my family was attacked by werewolves from me. It was not because Peter offended
Eleanor Hazel's POV Seeing Lawrence's figure, the werewolves were obviously afraid. Byron glanced at Lawrence up and down, somewhat surprised: "Is that you?" Lawrence stood not far from us, and his expression showed sharp murder. He almost bite his teeth in command and said, "Let Eleanor go." Eve and Jack pulled me up. Eve had a fruit knife in her hand. I didn't know when she got this fruit knife. In other words, when she tricked me into walking out of the hospital, she pretended to talk to me easily, and she already wanted to put this knife to use, which was to kill me. It was terrible. In my eyes, she was just a child. Was that the difference between a human and a werewolf? Byron clearly knew Lawrence, perhaps impressed by the fact that they had fought each other at Bristol, and knew he was a difficult man to deal with.Byron said, "I don't understand. You are a powerful Alpha. Why do you want to help this woman? You shouldn't meddle in the feud between our two families." "Thi
Eleanor Hazel's POVLawrence looked at me, his eyes were desperate and stubborn: "No, Eleanor..."He struggled to stand up, but the werewolf next to him kicked him, leaving Lawrence on the ground injured again.The corners of his mouth were covered with blood, but he smiled at me and said, "If you die, the world will have no meaning to me.""I'm your husband. I won't leave my wife behind. Even if we will die, we shall die together."I shed painful tears. I didn't know what I should do to save Lawrence and me. Was it on my own?I hated my weakness and incompetence. Why did they call me a werewolf, but I had no power to protect myself and Lawrence?Byron's blade was still on my neck, and I suddenly thought of something.Perhaps, if I couldn't save Lawrence, I could do it without holding him back.I knew that if I was still alive, Lawrence would be threatened by them until he lost his own life, but if I died, then Lawrence would have nothing to fear.With his strength, even if he couldn'
Eleanor's POV:Seeing Lawrence stand up, Byron looked a little scared, and his voice trembled: "How could it be..."He commanded the werewolves around him: "Kill him! Kill them all!"Byron looked a little crazy. The werewolves around were very afraid of Lawrence. They didn't dare to go forward. Lawrence choked Byron. When he threw Byron on the ground again, Byron was already dead. The werewolves around who obeyed Byron's orders freaked out, looking at Lawrence as if they were the ones who were going to be killed in the next moment.Lawrence turned to look at Jack, I knew he wanted to attack Jack next.I blocked Lawrence's way and grabbed his arm: "Lawrence, let them go. Let's get out of here, okay?"Lawrence looked at me and said, "They want to kill us."I shook my head. "I don't want to let the hatred continue. Hatred only brings harm."Jack said, "Lawrence, it's me who hurt Eleanor. Please let them and my sister go."Lawrence glanced at him and seemed to be hesitating. My body was i
Eleanor's POV:Logan looked very excited, and he became manic: "No, Eleanor, you haven't seen the truth of Lawrence.""He's a tyrant! He's moody and he's just using his alpha status to command everyone."Logan grabbed my shoulder and said, "You can hate me, but I can't let you be deceived by someone like Lawrence."I looked at the direction of the ward. Lawrence hadn't come back yet. He just followed the nurse to check on his body. I really wanted him to come back quickly to end it all.I pushed Logan's hands away and said, "Stop it. I'd like to trust Lawrence.""I used to think he was moody and couldn't communicate with him. But everyone has their faults, and so do you. Don't you, Logan?"I said: "You are indecisive. When facing a problem, you would rather choose to cover up with a lie than face it directly, but Lawrence is better than you in this regard. At least he will not deceive me for himself, nor make me the other woman who is abused and hated by other people. Logan, you don't
Stella's POVI didn't expect that even Lawrence had fooled me. He was infatuated with Eleanor, too.I couldn't understand it, nor could I accept it. What was so good about Eleanor? Why did Lawrence and Logan fall in love with her and choose to hurt me?I asked Lawrence, "Who will you choose between Eleanor and me?""Stella, it's no choice question," Lawrence said."Eleanor is no longer a threat to you. If you really want to get rid of this terrible marriage, I think you should talk to Logan."Lawrence said, "Eleanor has long broken up with Logan. She has been with me all this time. She is not an obstacle in your marriage."It was ridiculous. Was Eleanor not an obstacle in my marriage?She stole my husband from me. She seduced Logan and forced him to divorce me. At this time, she had even taken my brother away from me.She always looked pitiful and sad, but she took everything from me. I was the heartbroken one, wasn't I?I said to Lawrence for the last time, "Lawrence, if you still re
Stella's POVLogan said, "Do you think I was happy after marrying you? No, I was not..."He said, "Maybe you should thank my acting skills. I've never loved you. You forced me to do all these."I shook my head and couldn't believe everything he said.Logan continued, "No one will cease to be faithful suddenly. You think I no longer love you. But I've never loved you.""No, please, stop talking..."I had a headache. What Logan said was like poison. He had destroyed my last hope.Lawrence went forward to protect me. He grabbed Logan by his collar and said, "You shouldn't talk like this."Logan shook off his hand, "Lawrence, you dote on her too much, and you don't dare to let her accept the reality. That's why she becomes so crazy.""I've broken up with her. I can't be with her again. The only way is to let her know the truth."I was out of control. I didn't want to listen anymore and rushed out of the ward.Neither Logan nor Lawrence chased after me. It was ridiculous. Should I expect t
Lawrence's POVBy the time I got there, it was already too late.A lot of people were surrounding the entrance of the mall, with the screaming of ambulances and the voice of the police who were cordoning off the place. I could see Stella lying there with blood all over her body."Oh, it's terrible. We were shopping while this woman fell off abruptly. I don't know what happened.""My God, can you believe that falling from such a high place, she could still keep breathing for several minutes before she died. I really thought I was dreaming.""Is she a werewolf? Only werewolves have such strong vitality. Although I don't know what happened, I still feel sorry for her unfortunate encounter."Outside the crowd, seeing Stella lying motionless, I was in a trance for I couldn't believe that she was my sister. I was very remorseful. Why didn't I notice there was something wrong with Stella in advance? No, actually I had known – Stella was very agonizing because of Eleanor and Logan, and she e
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
