Conal returned to his office, took a long, black coat that hung neatly on a hook, and gave it to Azura. He said, "Put it on and sit over there waiting for me until I'm done. I'll get you out of here."
Azura was surprised at this action of Conal. She shyly took his shirt and put it on. The faint scent of his shirt made her feel at ease. Like that, Azura calmly sniffed the smell of the shirt right in front of Conal. She didn't know that Conal's eyes were following her every movement and strange action. He said:
"I just wore this shirt today; it's still clean. So you don't have to worry too much."
Conal's words startled her, and she looked up at him. Her face suddenly turned red. It looks like he misunderstand her. Azura was a bit confused; she stammered reply:
"Not. I do not mean that. It's just...just the scent on the shirt; it's…it's so pleasant."
Conal heard her say these words and laughed. His smile is so magical but attractive to people. Then he handed her a cup of hot coffee he brewed himself and said, "That's the scent of Bulgarian roses."
"Thanks," Azura said as she accepted the coffee cup from Conal's hand. Suddenly, their eyes met, making him and her both awkward. The space is so quiet now. In the end, it was Azura who took the initiative to speak up, breaking the uncomfortable atmosphere.
"Just now, why did you help me? What if you help me might affect you? Besides, you can take this opportunity and drive me away."
Hearing Azura's questions, Conal also didn't know why he acted like that at that time? He leaned back against the soft sofa comfortably, thinking how to answer her.
"I find it annoying to see my fellow human beings being led away by humans. It is as simple as that. Don't overthink."
After saying that, he got up and went back to his desk. To dismiss Azura's
questions, Conal quickly changed the subject.
"Now I have to work. If you feel like you have nothing to do, you can read a book. Ok!"
Hearing him say that, Azura remained silent, not wanting to disturb Conal. She sipped her coffee while looking around. In the room are almost books and beautiful architectural models. The thick books were neatly arranged on the bookshelf.
Azura couldn't contain his curiosity and went to the bookshelf to his left. She picked up a random book, then opened it and read it. However, everything is related to his specialty. Taking a few more steps, she saw a photograph placed in a different place. There were three people in the picture; she guessed it was Conal's family.
"Those are my real parents. But they're all dead."
Conal's low, the hoarse voice sounded behind her, causing Azura to turn around in surprise. At this moment, their eyes met once again. After all, since when had he been standing here? Azura felt flustered at how close the two were. Her heart was pounding; it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest. Conal's masculine breath brushed against Azura's body, causing her cheeks to turn red. She quickly turned away, avoiding Conal's eyes, she said:
"It's a pity. Your whole family is beautiful."
After saying that, Azura regretted it. She thought to myself, "What am I talking about?" Why is it that every time she stands in front of him, she can't control herself and says such ungainly words? After that, Azura carefully placed the photo back in its place, then slipped past Conal and walked over to the sofa. Suddenly, Conal's words made her stop. Her heartbeat again for him.
"Thank you for your compliments. You are also beautiful."
Azura turned to look at him; she gave him a beautiful smile and thanked him. She felt that the relationship between them seemed to have improved compared to when they first met. Perhaps, this is the right time for her to remind her of his return to Montana with her. Besides, she had a critical job to do. It was the investigation of the recent strange things that happened to werewolves. Azura hoped he wouldn't refuse again.
"Conal, can you think about Montana with me?"
As Azura finished speaking, she noticed the change of expression on Conal's face. Coldness and anger were intertwined, evident on Conal's front. He brushed past her and replied coldly:
"Don't force me. I don't want to go back to that damn place."
"Why? Why are you so stubborn?" Azura also couldn't calm down anymore; she roared to him. Now their relationship is strained again. Conal clenched his fists and punched hard on the table; he shouted:
"Because my parents were killed there. The man who killed my parents was a werewolf. He was also my parents' best friend, did you know that? That's also why I don't want to go back there with you."
After his words, the atmosphere fell into silence. It turns out Azura and he is alike. They all had unpleasant memories of that place. But Conal was luckier than her. He has the right to choose for himself a free life here. And she has no choice. She is paying for her father's actions in the past.
"Conal. Sorry for wrongly blaming you. But this is the task that Sir Henry has given me. I know you don't want this marriage. However, you still have to go back to that place to refuse it."
Conal looked up at her with red, angry eyes. The blue veins on his face were visible. He said to her reluctantly: "Why should it be me? You can also go back and talk to him. It's so simple that you can't do it either? Why did you force me to go there? What did Sir Henry give you? Is it money or a high status?"
Azura looked at Conal with sad eyes. She sensed contempt from his words. She tried to put aside the hurt in her heart, her voice a little bitter: "I cannot convey your words to Sir Henry because I have no qualifications. I'm not like you and the other werewolves."
After saying that, Azura opened the door and left. Conal was a bit surprised by what he had just heard. Not only that, he sensed the sadness and the patience in her words. Maybe the words he said were a bit excessive. Although Conal desperately wants to go after Azura to apologize, she believes that her leaving will not cause him trouble. With that in mind, Conal returned to his chair and continued working.
Thought that after Azura left, he could focus more on work. The but all do not back as he thinks. What she said before she left kept making him feel nonstop. He's starting to soften his heart. Conal threw the fountain pen in his hand forward and swore:
"Damn it!"
He stood up and looked through the transparent glass for relaxation. What happened today gave him a headache. Just because he was a werewolf with the ability to be immortal, did Harem Henry choose him? Or does he have another purpose? Although more than twenty years have passed, Conal has ceased to be related to them. However, he still has werewolf blood in his body. That is something that cannot be changed.
Until after work, Conal did not see Azura return. Maybe she went back to Montana already? Thinking about this, he felt a little regret in his heart. He didn't understand why; he noticed her like that. Perhaps he was attracted to Azura's rare blue eyes among the werewolves. She was the second person he met with unique eye color. Every time he looked into those eyes, he felt so comfortable and at ease.
On the way back home, Conal saw a car following his car. Conal stepped on the accelerator; the supercar sped away on the empty road. In an instant, Conal's car disappeared at the boulevard intersection. The vehicle following Conal stopped, not knowing which direction to continue. Azura got out of the car; she looked around at all-white snow. Even though it was just over five o'clock in the afternoon, it was already much darker. The weather is also awful right now. In the end, it was still to lose track of Conal. Azura sighed, looking at his decrepit car, too old to follow an expensive vehicle like Conal's. As Azura was about to get in the car to leave, Conal's soft voice echoed behind her, making her jump. "So the one who followed me just now was you?" Conal grinned at Azura. When he knew a stalker, he speeded up the car and stopped by a nearby bush. It was also thanks to the weather like this that he could cover the eyes of the people following him. Standing
Conal's car stopped in front of a large mansion. Azura looked for an empty spot to park the car. This place looked around relatively deserted, only more than a dozen houses. Azura slung the backpack over his shoulder and got out of the vehicle. She squinted her eyes and looked into the distance; it seemed to be a pine forest. Azura didn't understand why Conal chose this place to live. As far as she could see, here, aside from the open view, everything was inconvenient, especially for Conal. The distance from home to the company is quite far.Conal saw Azura still standing outside in the cold rain and snow; he called out to her: "Azura, what are you still standing there for? Let's go into the house."Hearing Conal's urging, she quietly went inside the house. Azura looked at everything, the golden light from the chandelier blinding her. Everything here is highly luxurious and expensive. Azura was so absorbed in watching that he didn't realize Conal was standing behind hi
After dinner, Conal led Azura to the bedroom on the second floor, at the end of the hallway. Lying on the soft bed, Azura thought over everything and the conditions he offered. If she defeats him, he will agree to return to Montana with her; otherwise, she must not appear in front of him and bother him anymore.Azura sighed; she knew that she wouldn't be Conal's match. Becauseusually, he was much stronger than her. If on the night of the full moon, Conal will have terrible power. Because he is the Alpha werewolf, her chance of winning Conal is only 0.01%. Even though she foresaw such an outcome, she still gave herself a little hope and accepted Conal's challenge.She stood on the second floor looking through the glass window; she saw a family of three who were very cheerful and happy. They hold hands, walk together, enjoy life. Azura looked at them happily and involuntarily laughed along.Yes, what Azura wanted was freedom. This time she came here to com
After Conal's parents left happily, Conal let go of Azura's waist. Seeing Conal walking silently towards the living room, Azura got a little angry and said, "Don't you have anything to explain?"Conal still had that indifferent and obnoxious face. After a moment of silence, Conal spoke up. Hearing the way he spoke, he seemed a bit embarrassed."Sorry for dragging you into this. If you had woken up a little later, you probably wouldn't have had to pretend to be my girlfriend. And maybe shortly, join me as a couple of lovers in front of my parents.""What? What are you saying?" Azura still didn't understand what had happened to her. What the hell is Conal, after all calculating?Conal sipped his coffee and continued: "Actually, I had a date with another girl arranged by my parents this morning. I don't like this, but I have no way of saying no.""So you took me out as a beer to help with bullets?" Azura coldly asked ConalHe paused for about h
Azura managed to find a cheap inn for the night during this day. It is located deep in a small alley. Because it was so cold outside, she couldn't sleep outside the car.As soon as Azura entered the alley, she met a group of tall young men. As soon as they saw her, they whistled, and their eyes looked at Azura with malice and lust. Azura can tell that those young people have no good intentions by looking at them.She guessed that this was a neighbourhood full of entertainment and evils. Looking at the interlaced wall with monstrous drawings made her feel disgusted. When Azura was about to pass them, suddenly, a guy with a tall, muscular body and a very fierce-looking face stepped out of the way, not allowing Azura to continue."Where's the beautiful girl going? Want to play with us?" He teased and reached out his hand to catch her, but Azura quickly backed away, not allowing him to touch her.Azura guessed that this was the leader of these youths. She tur
Azura returned to the car; she thought a lot; finally, she decided to find Conal to tell him about the mysterious person last night. Maybe Conal will know him too. After that, Azura drove to the corporation where Conal worked. She went to the reception desk this time, asking the staff to see Conal, but she was rejected. Because if Azura wants to meet him, she has to make an appointment in advance. So Azura had to wait outside for Conal, hoping to meet him. It was past seven o'clock in the evening, and Azura still hadn't seen Conal; she was starting to lose patience. She told herself, trying to wait for him a little longer. Maybe he has a lot of work, so he leaves work later. At this moment, a luxury car stopped in front of her. A noble, beautiful girl in a gorgeous dress, looking at her gave off an aura of authority and elegance. However, the girl had no intention of going inside the building. She pulled out a cigarette; the act of lighting it was skilful. She leaned
Unfortunately for Azura, her car suddenly caught fire. All her belongings were left in the vehicle, including inhibitors. The large fire caused a commotion in the surroundings, so Azura was forced to leave. Azura felt her body change. It was winter, but the sweat on her body didn't stop flowing, drenching her inner layer. She needed to find a drug store to buy inhibitors; otherwise, an Omega like her would have to go through painful sensations to get through estrus. She was starting to feel like she was losing her mind. Everything in front of her eyes gradually blurred, and Azura's breathing became increasingly laboured. Azura leaned against the wall to support her trembling body. Suddenly, several tall men were standing in front of her; she could smell Alpha pheromones from a distance. Azura was a little scared; she put her hand on her neck to check, but unfortunately, Omega's odour-blocking patch was gone. And then, she noticed the eyes of the men staring at her. M
The following day, Conal was awoken by the ringing of the phone. At this time, he was still sleepy, eyes closed, listening to the phone:"Hello, who is that?""Conal, are you still asleep now? There's a big deal with your Lover. Get up!" Reana yelled into the phone, her voice hasty, hasty.Conal still didn't understand what she said, so he asked again: "Lover? What are you talking about?""Oh my God. Something happened to Azura."Hearing Reana mention Azura, he jumped up like a spring; he asked urgently: "What happened to Azura? Where is she now?"Conal listened to Reana talk, quickly getting dressed, personal hygiene. Within five minutes, he was in the car and sped away. After driving, he reached Reana and listened to her tell her story.So his hunch was correct. Azura is in danger.Reana saw Conal constantly worried, his face now extremely unsightly, so she reassured Conal: "According to the information I received from the po
