Devin' POV: I didn't mean to say that to Irene, I just wanted to say that she didn't have to thank me because I didn't do anything, and it was her who deserved the admiration. Not me. But when the words came to the mouth, the meaning had completely reversed. "If that's the case, I won't bother you anymore. I wish you a good night, Mr Devin!" She roared at me with her eyes red, and she was trembling faintly. Then, she turned and left. She was mad. Really, really mad. Seeing her faintly walking away, I wanted to stop her, hugged her and explained to her, and I did. Her legs hadn't fully recovered yet. With such a pull, she immediately fell into my arms. But, she quickly pushed me away, with tears flowing all over her face. She tried hard to hold it back, and in the meantime, she arched her beautiful brows, glaring at me. "What are you doing? Do you think it's funny to see me humiliated!" "No, Irene, I..." "Enough!" Irene was so angry that she almost fell again. Seeing that the sit
Devin' POV: I didn't mean to say that to Brooklyn, I just wanted to say that she didn't have to thank me because I didn't do anything, and it was her who deserved the admiration. Not me.

Brooklyn's POV: He kissed me. Devin kissed me. Did he know what he was doing! I pushed him away, but the expression on his face was more shocking than mine, even with a hint of remorse. "I'm sorry, Brooklyn, I... I'm so sorry..." Sorry for what? Sorry for kissing me? I, the offended person, hadn't said anything yet, how could he say such a thing! Such an asshole! I raised my hand in anger and slapped him. That slap must had been heavy, because my palm was hurting, and clearly, Devin's face had a red mark on it. But, I didn't feel bad at all, I even thought I should be a little harder, give this bastard a lesson! "Get out of here!" I was furious, completely disregarding my face. "If you're sorry, get out of my house! I don't want to see you again!" I'm ashamed that I once secretly thanked the Goddess of the Moon for giving me a second mate again! During lunch, I sat farthest away from Devin and didn't want to say a word. Abbey, who may have sensed something wrong, and kept tr
Brooklyn's POV: I didn't know how I fell asleep that night. Amy's little hand woke me up, made it hard to get back to sleep. Even though I was drowsy, after being awaHaleed by Amy's bad sleeping posture, I turned to stare at the scenery outside the window in a daze. I then recalled a conversation. "Amy will trouble you." "It doesn't matter." I vaguely heard the conversation between Devin and Aaron, and immediately lifted the quilt and staggered to the floor-to-ceiling window. Downstairs, they were indeed standing face to face, but the voice was dazed and I couldn't hear it clearly, only to see Devin suddenly looking up at me after a while. I swear I didn't mean to hide from him, but... I avoided him subconsciously, and accidentally kicked the table. Painfulness immediately rushed up to my nerves. "Dad painted a portrait of you, mommy." Last night, Amy's secret was still in me. Like a poppy, I thought I should pull it out, but I couldn't help but get addicted. I closed my eyes
Brooklyn's POV: Devin let me cry in his arms without stopping me. I didn't know how long I cried, but my eyes hurt. When I came back to my senses, I realized that there were two people behind him, with worried expressions on their faces. I may had delayed their mission. The belated shame made me escape from his hug. To my surprise, he leaned his head on my shoulders, heavier and heavier. "Devin?" "Sorry..." he replied, but his voice was extremely weak, "Brooklyn, I'm... sorry..." His body suddenly seemed to have lost its support point, and he fell on me. Just when I stumbled to lift him up, fortunately, the person behind him stepped forward in time to help him. I just found out that his abdomen was bleeding! We hurriedly took him to the hospital, and the doctor quickly took him into the operating room. I sat in a daze on the chair outside the operating room, staring blankly at the blood on my hands. Aaron also rushed over after receiving the news. The two people who asked dire
Brooklyn's POV : Okay, I had to admit that I might have a crush on Devin. It might be the special scent on him, or the plan of the moon goddess. Or... his gentleness attract me every time we met. He was not like Hale, everything he did was to please me. Devin was more like a rational adult whose every action was after thoughtful deliberation instead of emotionalism. He did nothing intentionally to please me but strangely I fell even more for him. But I did not know what was going on in his mind. I could feel that he cared about me. He was always trying his best to help me, encourage me and support me when I was in trouble. But just like what I said, whatever he did was after consideration. Was it possible that he treated everyone so well? Maybe the only wild thing he did was that kiss. But he apologized for this. I saw his regrets in his eyes. He still couldn't forget Lucy, his ex-wife. He never liked me. This fact hurt me so much. It was as painful as being run over by a car
I must admit, my mind went blank at the moment, I did not even know how to react. I could only stand in place and look at Devin. He looked at me quietly, with mixed emotions in his mind. I was not sure if this is what I want and I was not even sure what do I want, my mind was in a mess. Before I could make up my mind, he kissed my lips. His lips were hard and warm. It might be because of the fever, his lips were dry, and it annoyed me a little. But his kiss was soft and gentle, coming closer bit by bit, seducing me. I did not know how to react, I didn't even get to shut my lips, stopping him from invading me. I could only feel his lips on mine, getting more and more aggressive, his tongue slipped into my mouth just like silk. We were entangled just like knots, I couldn't help but moan a little. It was only then I got my head together and pushed him away. He seemed like he was still drowning in the fantasy. His eyes were red. I could see desperation in them. "Brooklyn." He called
Devin' POV: Sorry Brooklyn, you were right, I was a jerk. Emotions beat reason that day, and when I couldn't help kissing her, it made me feel flustered. I must admit that I had a strange feeling for this woman. She looked still fragile, like a doll. But whether she fought against her husband and family, woke up the Sever Link and changed her destiny, she was so brave and admirable. All who were struggling at the mercy of fate should come and learn her courage. I couldn't help but indulge in her charm. But there was a Lucy between me and her, there was even an Amy. Even if Lucy ruined the mate mark and didn't want our relationship at all, I couldn't let it go. Her affairs were like a stone, pressed on my heart. As long as I did't receive an answer for one day, I couldn't face my relationship of Brooklyn for one day. I felt like I was tainting Brooklyn. It forced me to pull myself together and restrain my emotions. Fortunately, B
