Eleanor's POVLawrence smiled, and his fingers touched me vaguely. "Logan, don't forget, I'm also a werewolf. I know what's on your mind. As a Beta, you are so weak, because Stella is an Alpha, which makes you feel inferior, so you find this human woman."His fingers moved to the back of my neck and suddenly grabbed my hair to show off the booty, "Human women are so fragile. They will worship you and look up to you. As long as your fangs bite gently, they'll die. You enjoy the feeling of controlling the whole situation, don't you?"Logan picked up the chair in the room and attacked Lawrence. Lawrence pushed me away, and I hit the table next to him.The werewolf was strong and fast. When they fought in the room; tables, chairs, and some simple furniture became their weapons, which were very fragile and vulnerable.Logan kicked Lawrence and Lawrence fell on the sofa. Logan came up to me and took my arm as if he wanted to take me out.But Lawrence was also very agile. He showed his fangs
Lawrence POVIt was two o'clock in the Vatican. I was injured and decided to come back home.I lived on the top floor of a luxurious building. There was a very wide balcony with sofas, tables, and some expensive furniture. I often liked to sit there and watch the rising sun and sunset and the busy people under the building. I didn't have to rush for life like those people because I had enough money.I sat on the sofa to deal with the wound. Logan's sharp claws made a terrible blood mark on my arm, but I didn't need to worry because werewolves were born with the ability to self-healing. I believed everything would be perfect in a few days.While dealing with the injury, I noticed a shallow scratch on my arm the woman named Eleanor left. The woman's cry, begging, and fear came to my mind. I thought of my experience in the underground parking lot. It seemed to be the first time for that woman, but I was a little rough.I felt a bit uneasy. I found the woman to teach her a lesson and ta
Lawrence's POVEleanor left. With my power, it was not hard to find her trace. As I had expected, Logan followed that woman to Bristol, which I thought was very ridiculous. He was so infatuated with her.Of course, it would have been better if the one he was infatuated with was my sister Stella. If so, nothing would have happened between Eleanor and I.From my assistant Mayer, I knew that Eleanor's parents were in Bristol, and then I found out that she had booked hotel and flight, thus it seemed like that she didn't lie to me – she was determined to leave London. But I had no idea if Logan had come here, whether he had made a pact with that woman or just had decided all by himself. I saw him entering the same hotel, so I pulled off in front of the hotel, and then spied the scene in their room through binoculars.But unfortunately, it was dark night, and the curtains in Eleanor's room were closed, thus I was not able to see anything.But in their room, the lights were on all the time.
Lawrence's POVIt's been a very bad day. I guess I should have left sooner, but I couldn't leave Stella alone with the pain she was feeling now. I went to Stella's place to look for her, but she was not there, nor was Logan. The door to their house was locked, and the car parked in front of the door was missing. The weeds in the garden had grown tall, the leaves at the door were not swept, and even the mailboxes were piled up with no one to receive them.A neighbor told me that Stella hadn't been home for the past few days. I was worried about Stella, where could she have gone? I entered Stella's house, and on the table in the living room, I saw a stack of information that Logan had left behind for Stella. Logan's name was already written on it, but Stella hadn't signed it yet. I took a cursory look at the contents of the agreement, Logan said he no longer had feelings for Stella and filed for divorce. To compensate Stella, he could give Stella all the property in his name, including
Eleanor's POVLeaving the hotel, I planned to come back to my parents with my luggage.Before I got in a taxi, I called Madison, "Dear Madison, I'm on my way home. I'll be in town in about half an hour. And... don't tell my parents. I want to give them a surprise."Madison sounded a little annoyed. "Oh, sorry, Eleanor. I may not be able to see you today.""I'm out of the town. There have been traces of werewolves a few hundred miles away from our town. And it seems that some humans have been attacked.Madison made an apology, "I'm so sorry. When I'm back, I will treat you to coffee, OK?""It's a great pity.""That's okay," I replied. "We'll see each other later. Madison, just take care of yourself."When I was about to hang up, Madison's voice hooted, "Hold on, Eleanor.""I've just discovered something really weird. Eleanor, does your boyfriend know you're here?"Being stunned, I replied, "Yes, he did."After all, Logan was there yesterday. Although he had been driven away, I still co
Eleanor's POVI arrived at Bristol, where my family and friends lived. On the first day when I was in the hotel, Logan came to find me, and of course, I told him that there was impossible that we went back. Betrayal was the last thing that I chose in my life.I found a job and was determined to start a new life. But these days, it was strange that I felt someone was staring at me.It was a dreadfully frightening gaze – someone was staring at me, like a hunter keeping the eyes on his prey. But every time I looked over, there was nothing strange and everyone was working quietly, with no one peeping at me.It made me feel very uncomfortable. Maybe it was my superior who was staring around, wanting to see if the new guy was performing his duties. I tried to persuade myself not to be afraid, because at least I wouldn't meet Lawrence here, right?It couldn't be such a coincidence – this guy would pop in abruptly at where I worked.But very soon, with the strange feeling in my heart being m
Eleanor's POVIt suddenly rained during the night. It was a quiet and beautiful night in Bristol, and I was lying in bed, but I couldn't sleep. I listened to the sound of the rain outside and thought back to everything I had experienced recently as if I had suffered a nightmare. I kept reassuring myself, 'Eleanor, stop thinking about it, it's all over. You've started over, haven't you?'The rain was pounding on the branches outside the window. It was late at night. The streets were deserted, and any movement could be amplified and easily caught by us. I got up from the bed with an expression of panic and fear as I heard the sound approaching outside.I got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, not even daring to turn on the street light in my room. I quietly approached the window and carefully pulled back the curtain to look across the street. I saw a figure standing by the car, wearing a jacket with a hood, and since there was a street light right nearby, I was able to identi
Lawrence's POVWhen I learned that Stella had committed suicide, my heart felt like it would explode. I booked a flight to the Vatican overnight to get to the hospital as fast as possible and make sure my sister was still safe.When I arrived at the hospital, I met Stella's neighbor, Mrs. Watson. It seemed that Logan had not come home, and it was Mrs. Watson noticed that something was wrong with Stella and took her to the hospital. "This is terrible. She drank a whole bottle of sleeping pills. Why would Stella do something so stupid? I don't think I've seen Logan home in days, and Stella has been waiting for him at home. Why hasn't her husband come home? Is he out of town on business?"I thought even if I told Mrs. Watson about Logan's cheating, she wouldn't believe me. After all, Logan was very good at disguising himself. Before those things happened, Stella and I both thought he was a good, thoughtful husband. But that was how Logan always appeared to outsiders.Mrs. Watson said, "
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
