“Are you still thinking about what my great-aunt said?” Mike asked, while playing with Lara’s long hair.Lara just nodded. She couldn’t say that what Mike’s great-aunt had said was wrong. “Don’t be so serious.” Mike tried to console his mate. “She said some harsh things, but she’s really nice. I’m sure she’ll accept you.”Lara turned to Mike. “Are you sure she’ll accept me?”But Lara’s expression didn’t look confident. Her fear was greater than her confidence.“What if Great-Aunt Marta doesn’t accept me?” Her face fell sadly.Mike smiled and rubbed his mate's head.“I don’t care if she doesn’t accept you.” Mike took Lara’s hand thoughtfully, as if he would never let go. “The person you live with is me. You don’t need anyone else’s acceptance. You just have to love me. That’s all you have to do.”Lara’s face immediately turned red. She looked down even deeper to hide her current expression. With this simple sentence, Mike was able to restore her trust.But how long will this love last
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Daisy snapped at her Alpha. “How could you let this happen?”Tears fell from her swollen eyes. Not a day went by without tears. This was Daisy’s life now, mourning the death of her daughter.“How can a girl born from the womb of a slave, who lives in this house like a lowly Omega, be married to an Alpha?” Daisy shouted loudly, her emotions spiraling out of control.How could this girl be happy while her poor daughter was dying?“Stop it, mom.” Victor came and picked up his mother with a frustrated look on his face.“You... Are you defending your father?!” Daisy snapped at her son. “You’re defending that heartless demon?”Victor sighed in despair. Seeing his mother go mad day after day made him want to end her suffering, but his heart refused to see her in a coffin.“You believe me, don’t you, mom?” Victor said as he took his mother’s hand. "I will avenge them with a more painful death."Daisy looked at her son with tired, hopeless eyes.“That’s right, you are
“What’s going on?” Marta came out when she heard the commotion. She looked at Flow, who was on her knees on the floor.“I’m sorry, young master. I am guilty. I deserve punishment.” Flow begged.“She is not guilty. I was the one who wanted to do it.” Lara tried to calm Mike’s anger.“Don’t lie to protect someone.” Mike snarled as he glared at Flow. He knew the maid wasn’t to blame, but he couldn’t contain his anger now.“What punishment do you want?” Mike stepped towards Flow. But Lara grabbed his hand and tried to stop him.“You have no right to punish my servant!” Marta intervened. She stood in front of Mike.“I am the master of this house!” Marta warned.“And you heard it yourself. She was the one who insisted on doing it. On what basis do you wish to punish my servant?”“I am the rightful heir of the Dorgan family!” Mike growled in his wolfish voice. Maybe his great aunt had forgotten who Mike was.With the death of his eldest brother, Mike was the rightful owner of the Dorgan fami
“Wear the nicest dress you have. And don’t forget to dress up as beautifully as possible.” Alpha Pascal said to his favorite daughter. He looked at Jennifer with a warm smile. “Tonight, an alpha from the Western Eclipse will come to this place.”Jennifer bought a look of disbelief. But a second later, she smiled with impatience. She played with her long hair as she envisioned the famous alpha of Western Eclipse. Handsome, charismatic, and respected by the rest of the pack. If Jennifer became the alpha’s mate, it would certainly increase her father’s power and authority.“Do I have to wear a dress too, dad?” A soft voice came from a girl who was putting a cup of coffee on the table. She was wearing shabby clothes. Her face was pale because she wasn’t wearing any makeup. Unlike Jennifer, who wore thick makeup that covered the dark spots on her face.“Are you out of your mind?” Jennifer snapped in exasperation.Pascal’s face hardened with anger. He stared at Lara with a piercing gaze. H
“How dare you bump into Mr. Mike with your shabby clothes!” Jennifer snapped. She was surprised to see Lara’s presence. Her hands clenched with emotion.“I’m sorry, sir.” Lara looked down even deeper. Her hands squeezed anxiously.“Raise your head.” Mike asked in a firm voice, but in a low tone.“Let me take care of it.” Jennifer stepped forward. She stood in the middle between Mike and Lara.“With all due respect, I apologize for my servant’s inappropriate behavior. I will teach her a lesson for what she has done wrong today.” Jennifer gave Lara an exasperated look.Mike didn’t care about the words coming out of Jennifer’s mouth. He knew this woman was like a venomous snake.“Are you okay?” Mike asked, passing by Jennifer, who was stunned to see him.Mike looked at Lara. His gaze traced every inch of Lara’s bruised body. Her brown hair was disheveled. She was breathing heavily, as if she had just run away from someone.“This woman is just a rogue, sir. She works as a maid here. And s
“Stop it!” Victor, the eldest brother, entered the room. He looked at Lara before looking at Jennifer.“Don’t be silly, Jennifer!” Victor snapped at his sister. She immediately looked away in annoyance.The men immediately stood up, stepped back, and bowed respectfully to Victor.“And you, go to your room!” Victor ordered.Lara felt powerless, but she forced herself to stand up. She walked with her face down.“Why did you let her go? Are you defending her now?” Jennifer snapped at Victor. She couldn’t believe her brother would let Lara go.“Do you think this will stop, Mike?” Victor glared at Jennifer. “Don’t be stupid Jennifer! You’re just going to cause even bigger problems.”“Calm your mind and go back to your room. Dad and I will figure out how to solve this problem.” Victor said, before leaving Jennifer.There was no agreement between Mike and Pascal. The man defended his decision, and Pascal did not want to give Lara to Mike.“How is Jennifer?” Pascal asked. He was more worried
“Is she awake?” Mike asked Evan. He looked tired and sleep-deprived. Two days had passed, and the woman he had brought hadn’t woken up.“Not yet, Mike.” Evan said. His expression instantly changed. There was something more important than this that he had to tell Mike.“Alpha John’s men are coming back.” He continued. “They threatened that if we don’t hand over their master’s bride, then they....” Before Evan could finish his sentence, Mike cut him off.“If they come back, you don’t need to talk to them. Just kill them right away.”*** Lara was surprised to find herself in an unfamiliar room. She didn’t really remember what had happened to her.“Oh my God!” A nurse looked at Lara with wide eyes. She turned to her friend. “Hurry up and report this to Evan.”“Who are you? And where am I?” Lara asked in a confused tone. Despite her weakened state, she remained vigilant.“This is my master’s place, miss. And we are not bad people.” The nurse said calmly. She noticed that this woman looked
Lara gulped down her saliva. She couldn’t sleep even though the bed was so soft. The luxurious room with the king-sized bed made her look like an ant in the middle of a flower bed.She woke up and patted her face repeatedly. Realizing whether this was a dream or real. Unfortunately, it was real.“Do I deserve this?” Her voice was low and her gaze seemed to be in disbelief that she could enjoy sleeping in this bed.Lara looked around. Clearly, this room belonged to someone in a high position. Someone she didn’t deserve to have.“Is that guy really my mate?” Lara muttered.Lara had never dreamed of having a high-class mate before. Her dream was very simple. To have an ordinary mate as her husband and live happily ever after.“What were you thinking until you made that expression?” A familiar male voice made Lara turn her head to the side.A handsome man with an extraordinary aura was observing her and it made Lara hurriedly get off the bed.“Stay right there.” Mike ordered. He loosened
