Jennifer had been sitting on the couch for quite some time. Donna had not returned to the living room since she came. She remained in Raymond’s room.As Jennifer sat, a memory flashed through her mind—a vivid scene of her mate engaged in an intimate act with another woman, Christina.That betrayal hit her heart once again, breaking her. These few days, she had nearly forgotten her identity and her background. She believed she had gotten a new life. However, Raymond’s words came rushing back to her. Right from the moment he woke up, it was clear as day that their marriage was merely a business deal.‘It’s just a matter of days. How can I possibly fall for him? Am I being too desperate?’ She thought.“Are you too desperate to have someone? Are you too eager to feel at ease?” She closed her eyes and questioned herself, her back pressed against the couch.She would never forget how her stepmother and stepsister treated her. They always beat and mistreat her for no apparent reason. Her Pac
“I-I am in h-heat.”Raymond was indifferent. He nodded and continued to do his work as if it was not a big deal.Jennifer’s eyes glistened as she quickly looked away, feeling embarrassed. It was an extremely private period for a she-wolf when they desired to mate with male wolves, particularly Alphas. They wanted to have sex with their mates, and if none were available, they would endure excruciating pain instead.Gently, she walked over to the couch, lay down, and rolled into a ball, feeling the pain intensifying in her abdomen.A few minutes later, she heard a low growl, which took her aback. As she raised her head, she noticed Raymond staring at her, his appearance far from a picture of good health. He seemed infuriated, far from being okay.“W-What happened?” She asked.“Just go take a cold shower. Right now.”He sounded enraged. Jennifer had no idea why he had told her that. However, she reasoned that it would make her feel better. So she got up, went to the closet, took out her
Her tears fell over his cheeks when he kissed her. She leaned over him completely, pressing her body against his. Raymond’s hand descended, gently caressing her thigh, while his other hand secured her head, aiming to tilt it and fulfill his desire to kiss her as he pleased.Jennifer felt more desperate and unknowingly rubbed herself over him. He groaned, and she moaned loudly in the kiss.Releasing her lips, he gazed into her eyes. The intensity of his gaze made her desire to conceal herself from him, yet her body seemed to act on its own accord, beyond her control.“I-I am in p-pain.” His red eyes fixated on her red and swollen lips, conveying an intense longing. He felt the kiss was not enough, and he yearned for more.He rubbed his thumb over her moist lips and was about to kiss her again, then suddenly, the door swung open. “What the hell!”Robin was shocked and instantly turned around.When Raymond heard Robin, he came back to his senses. “What are you doing here?” Raymond as
“Where is your son?”Jennifer looked at Raymond, who was observing Alpha Mark.“He went outside in the early morning. Do you have any work with him, my son?” Alpha Mark inquired.Raymond shook his head as he delicately sliced the steak.“I believe he is wasting his time without work. Therefore, he must also bear some responsibility.”Upon hearing this, Sandra smiled widely. “You are right. He must carry a certain level of responsibility. He is your brother. He should look after you.”Raymond smirked, “We will see who takes care of whom.”“What do you mean?”“Nothing.”Jennifer cast a glance at Beta Justin. ‘Did he mention anything to Raymond? Is Raymond angry about how Masson treated me? Does he care about me?’ She quietly ate while thinking.She suddenly felt safe because someone genuinely cared about her, even though he proclaimed not to like her. ‘At the end of the day, we are husband and wife,’ she thought. Her cheeks flushed, catching Sandra’s attention.“Are you feeling okay?”
Jennifer was engrossed in her work, carefully poring over the papers before her. Understanding the intricacies of the task at hand would undoubtedly require a considerable amount of time. Thanks to the guidance provided by Theta Padro in training her for folder-related matters, Jennifer was working on some files about the education system. As she delved into the documents, memories flooded her mind, reminding her of her unfulfilled desire to venture out like other girls and study outside. Unfortunately, her stepfamily had vehemently opposed such aspirations, denying her the opportunity.Letting out a sigh, Jennifer redirected her attention to the papers strewn across her desk. However, her concentration was interrupted by a series of knocks on the door.“Come in,” she said.A maid brought her lunch to her room. Jennifer could not believe how many hours went by at work, and she did not even notice. She ate lunch in her office and worked until late at night.When she went outside, she
Jennifer stood up from the couch immediately.“W-Why is he c-coming here?”Everyone was surprised by her tone and reaction. Raymond was observing her expression with his sharp eyes.“What happened, Jennifer?” Delta Brian asked.Realizing her action, she gulped and sat down slowly. She tried to calm herself and asked,“Nothing. How come the new Alpha was coming to our Pack? I mean, why so suddenly? I didn’t hear about this.”Gamma Glen shook his head. “He wanted to come last week, but Raymond declined. However, today he reached out to Raymond, stating that he had something important to discuss, So Raymond told him to come tomorrow.”Jennifer tightened her fists when she heard Nathan was coming to tell Raymond something.What would he say to Raymond? Would he tell Raymond everything about her? About her identity?Jennifer felt heavy in her chest. She tried to start a new life here. Why was her past coming to destroy her life?“Have you ever been to the Blood Pearl Pack?” Jennifer heard
Nathan’s eyes widened. “Luna? How is this possible?”Beta Justin came to him and said, “Your Pack did not get any invitation for the wedding?” Nathan gave Jennifer a look, “Wedding?”Raymond glanced at Alpha Mark. “You didn’t send any invitation to the Blood Pearl Pack?”Alpha Mark looked at Jennifer, who appeared to be confused. Then he turned to look at Raymond.“Well, I invited a few Alphas only. The Blood Pearl Pack had no Alpha then, so I did not send any invitation.”“I see,” Raymond replied and turned his head to Jennifer.“Greet Alpha Nathan. He is our guest.”Jennifer could feel her heart start to beat quickly. When Raymond told Nathan that she was his Luna, she was shocked. This was the first time he called her Luna. She was afraid of losing him, though.Jennifer shut her eyes and thought, ‘I am his Luna. No one can do anything to me. I can’t be scared of a cheater.’She raised her head and looked straight into Nathan’s eyes. He seemed mad. What did he want? After what he
Jennifer sat up and looked at Raymond, her heart racing. His eyes were still glued to his laptop screen, seemingly unaware of her inner turmoil. She couldn’t shake off the feeling of unease. How did he know? Was he aware of her true identity too?“A-Alpha-“Looking at her, he asked, “Yes or no?” His icy stare conveyed his anger toward her. With no explanation to offer, she nodded in agreement and responded, “Yes, I was from the Blood Pearl pack. But now I am a member of this pack. I have no connection with that pack anymore.”He raised his brow when he heard her answer. “Then why did you lie when I asked you last night?”Jennifer bit her bottom lip and looked away from him. “I-I did not want to talk about that pack.”“Are you unwilling to discuss either the pack or its members?” he inquired, to which she remained silent, pondering her response. Eventually, her gaze shifted towards him as he remarked, “It seems like you’ve always been interested in the Alphas,” he stated. Caught off gu
