Connor sensed that something was wrong with Annette. He could feel her wolf getting restless. He gently pressed Annette's shoulder.He was reminding Annette that there were many werewolves at present, and she needed to control her wolf.Otherwise, other werewolves would sense that Annette was a Rogue.It would be very dangerous for Annette.Annette took a deep breath and slowly calmed down. But her gaze didn't shift.As he followed her gaze, he realized that she was looking at Lance Fisher, Black Thorn Pack's Alpha. Lance was chatting with someone in his wheelchair."Do you know him?" When Connor saw Lance, he naturally thought of Austin."No." Annette let go of Connor's arm and shook her head."OK then. Do you want to eat something?""Yes," she said, wearing an unnatural expression."Come sit with me." He brought her to a table in the corner. "Just take a seat here. What do you want to eat?""Anything."He called the waiter to get some food for her.She lowered her head and ate slowl
Annette looked at Connor and asked, "How can you be so overbearing?"Connor chuckled. He said, "I am the Alpha of Blood Moon Pack. The entire pack's future is in my hand. This is my job, and I am used to it."Annette shook her head and said, "Don't you know how the werewolves in Akron are talking about you? They said that you were cruel and they were scared of you.""I don't care what others think of me," Connor said.Annette was silent. She thought, 'He's right. What does it matter if others think of me as good or bad?'Annette agreed with him.They left the banquet together. While they were waiting for the elevator, Annette saw Austin.Annette stopped. Then she walked toward the elevator doors with Connor, as if she didn't notice Austin.She quickly pressed the elevator button to go downstairs.Austin stood by the window for a moment, and then he walked over.From Annette's peripheral view, she saw Austin walking over and felt nervous.She prayed that Austin would walk past her like
Connor grabbed her arm and looked at her, his face filled with anger."Why were you running? What happened to your foot?"Annette threw her shoes at his feet and shouted angrily, "Connor, have I offended you? Why did you do this to me? Why did you kiss me? Do you think that you can do anything as you wish, and all women are at your disposal, just because you are rich? Well, stop being arrogant, and I hate you. I hate your guts. I want you to stay as far away from me as possible."After she finished speaking, she took off his coat, threw it at him, and walked away.Connor's face darkened. He picked her up and walked to his car.Annette struggled. "What are you doing? Put me down."Connor ignored her, threw her into the car, and closed the door.He pressed her down in the back row, ignoring Leonard, who looked embarrassed in the driver's seat."Leonard, drive. Go home.""Yes, Alpha Connor."Annette gritted her teeth. "Connor Norman! Piss off!"Leonard's hands trembled as he gripped the
Connor did not stay in the Blood Moon Pack for long. After being briefed by Beta about the recent issues with the pack, he brought Annette back to his villa."Dwayne, to Leonard to pick up Ms. Hall every day," Connor ordered Dwayne."Mr. Norman, my injury is not that serious. There's no need to bother Leonard. And...""You sprained your ankle because you accompanied me to the banquet. I should be responsible for it. Dwayne, take care of Ms. Hall."After Connor finished speaking, he left her room.Dwayne said respectfully, "Yes, Alpha Connor."The next day, Leonard sent Annette to the university.As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Austin and his fancy sports car at the school gate.Austin ignored the gazes from others and walked to Annette.Annette looked away. She took the crutches that Leonard handed over."Leonard, you should go back. I can walk from here."Leonard got into the car and left. Austin came over.Looking at the bandage on her foot, he was very worried. "Ann, wha
Annette was taken to the Black Thorn Pack.Two men pushed Annette in front of Lance, who was in a wheelchair.Annette's face was full of anger. She said, "Alpha Lance, we are in Akron. This is kidnapping!"The two men let go of her. As her feet touched the ground, her ankles hurt, but she stood there, looking tough.Lance waved his hand, and people around him dispersed."Sit," he said coldly."I am a Rogue. I don't deserve to sit on the Black Thorn Pack's chair.""Annette Fisher! Are you trying to piss me off?""As I said, my last name is Hall.""But you still have my blood in you.""That's why I always feel sick about myself."Lance slapped his wheelchair angrily and shouted, "Annette!"Unfazed by Lance's mood, Annette casually asked, "What do you want?""I hear you've been hanging out with Alpha Connor," Lance said coldly. "Are you short of money?"Annette sneered. This was her father. In his eyes, she was the kind of person who would do anything for money. Annette did not speak, L
Connor started working after hanging up the phone. After he finished his work, he went near the window to smoke.He looked out from the balcony and saw the light reflected on the lawn outside Annette's room downstairs.He tilted his head and glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already late. He thought, 'Is she still up? Or is Marcus still in her room?'He put out the cigarette, went downstairs, and came to the door of Annette's room.He knocked on the door, but no one answered.He put his hand on the doorknob and gently pushed the door. The door was unlocked.He looked into the room. There was no sign of Marcus.Annette was lying on the bed. She had earphones on, one hand on the book on the bed, the other hand holding a pen, nibbling on it, and writing something down on the book from time to time.He entered the room, but she didn't notice him at all.Annette felt a bit worn out. When she was stretching, she suddenly saw a person standing by the bed.Before she could see who it w
"Why should I believe you?""I will not risk my future. Besides, your son is not worthy of my love.""Annette, what makes you feel so good about yourself?"Annette was indifferent. "I'm not. I'm just different from you. I don't judge people by their wealth."Fiona looked at Annette. The more she looked at Annette, the more she disliked her."Fiona, if there is nothing else, may I leave now?""I don't want to see anything going on between you and Kyle, or...""Then please keep your son in line and make sure he doesn't come and pester me ever again."Annette checked the time on her wrist. "Fiona, someone is waiting for me in the cafeteria. If you have nothing else to say, I'd like to leave."Annette turned around and went out. Fiona snorted coldly, "What an annoying, ignoble Rogue."Annette left Fiona's office and took a deep breath.She could guess who took these photos.However, she didn't give a damn.In the morning, Connor came out of the conference room, and his assistant followed
Just as the few of them were in a deadlock, Annette rejected Kyle.Kyle gave a pained look.Seeing Kyle's expression, Lena sensed something was wrong. She immediately stepped forward and pushed Roxanne.Lena said, "Roxanne, are you crazy? What does Crystal Pack have to do with you? Who are you to speak ill of the Luna of our pack?"Roxanne was a strong she-wolf, and she did not take Lena seriously.She reached out and pushed Lena to the ground. She said, "If I were crazy, I'd kill you for Annette before anything. Do you think Crystal Pack can scare me? I just can't believe Annette would be roommates and friends with a wanton like you. You make me sick!"Kyle ignored Roxanne's words. He felt bitter about Annette's sudden rejection.His heart ached, and his wolf was growling in pain.Apart from the pain of being rejected, he realized for the first time how much he had hurt Annette.He knew his mate. Therefore, he knew how stubborn Annette could be. Although Annette was a rogue, she rema
