*Krell*Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t!What's going on with these two guys? I thought this would be a private dinner and that Mia had p invited me for a private dinner.That guy called Simon was even cooking with Mia in the kitchen. They were chatting and laughing, and he even touched Mia's hand!Simon, Simon! This uninvited guest!Wait a minute, Simon? It was such a familiar name... He was Warshrine pack's successor! How did he know Mia? Could it be because of Mia's identity?I felt the veins in my temples begin to pound. Locas alone was already difficult enough to deal with, but now there was someone else, Simon."Krell." Locas sat opposite me and called me. He smelled the same as Mia. He used Mia's shower gel! Locas must have done it on purpose."Krell." Locas deliberately loosened his collar, which made her scent on him even clearer. "Don't be so serious. Mia only invited us to her house to thank us. It seems that you're not so special after all. You have to eat with all of us, not a candleligh
*Edward*Oh, what did I see?Who were the two people hugging on the rooftop? They were so close together that it reminded me of when my wife and I were young. But that didn't matter anymore because the girl pushed Krell away. They separated, and I saw their faces.Those two people were actually Krell and Mia? I thought I might have been wrong. Their confrontation didn't last long before I saw Mia run away. She was furious.Mia, this bold girl, actually rejected Krell. That was our supreme alpha. Many women were crazy for him!"Krell?" I moved closer to him.Krell saw me and lit a cigarette.The night wind blew through his hair, which was no longer tidily arranged and folded haphazardly over his head. The distant neon lights shone on his face, outlining the sharp bridge of his nose and the handsome line of his brow.I had to admit that our leader was really handsome. I felt that Mia was not worth him wasting so much energy and emotions."What are you doing here?" Not surprisingly, Krell
"Did you really reject me because of that guy?" Krell pulled me away from Locas. He placed his hands on my shoulders and turned me so that I was only looking at him.I felt that Krell had misunderstood something, even though Locas and I were indeed kissing just now."I..." I tried to explain but didn't know where to start."That's right." Locas grabbed Krell's hand and moved it from my shoulder. "Mia is mine."What was Locas talking about?Krell became even angrier. I saw that he was already clenching his fists."Krell..." I called out worriedly. Locas couldn't withstand another punch from him."Answer me!" Krell shouted. It seemed that he really wanted an answer from me, but I really couldn't answer him."Krell, you're so fierce. Girls won't like it." Locas smiled smugly. "I told you. Mia is mine."I was suddenly angry. Why did Locas compete with Krell for me like I was a toy? He didn't even ask me!Krell's eyes stared straight at me. His blue eyes were like a bottomless sea on a stor
*Locas*The person in front of me was... Was that Mia?Did she come out of Krell's office? There was so much commotion. It seemed like she was quite angry.Did that mean my chance had come?But... why was Mia's shirt collar loose? If it was lower, her chest could be seen!What was she doing? She was stuffing the shirt tail neatly back into her skirt, and she had hickeys on her neck. What had Krell done to her? She looked like those women who had just spent the night with me!When she was out of sight, anger burned uncontrollably in my belly. I suddenly pushed open the office door."Krell, what have you done to Mia!" I couldn't help but shout at Krell."None of your business." Two buttons on Krell's shirt were undone. His voice was hoarse. The guy looked to be in a bad mood.I recalled Mia's sad look just now, and my heart suddenly ached. I was always full of compassion for beautiful women, let alone Mia. D*mned Krell! He made Mia so sad."Krell, Mia is different from other women. You w
*Mia*I couldn't stand Krell and his smug words and I didn't like him looking down on me. I wanted to prove myself to him.My hand could still feel the sting of Krell's cheek. I realized it was useless to argue with Krell again and fled the office.I said inwardly, 'Resign! I have to resign! This place is not for me. I have to leave.'Although this might be very difficult, I had to leave Krell and this job. I respected myself and had to take this step so that I could live on my own terms.I didn't go to the office the next day. Instead, I asked Sofia to submit my resignation to Personnel.First of all, I had to rent a house, but I was so poor that even the house I was living in now was provided by Simon. It seemed absolutely impossible for me to find a space to rent so that I could open a clinic.Suddenly, an idea came to my mind.My fingers traced the crescent-shaped moon goddess necklace that I had treasured at the bottom of the box. It was the last thing my mother had left me. This
The sunlight shone in through the window and landed on Krell and Locas's faces. They both looked at me with bright eyes.I looked at their solemn expressions and earnest gazes and softened. After all, I couldn't keep dwelling on the past when two people of such noble status apologized to me so sincerely and helped me so passionately."Alright, then I'll forgive you. If you say or do anything disrespectful to me again, I'll really get pissed off," I pretended to be angry and said to them angrily.Locas laughed out loud. He patted my face gently. "Mia, you're so cute."Krell pushed his hand away. "Don't touch her. Have you forgotten what Mia just said? I think you just won't learn. Mia, let's chase him out."Everyone chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere became animated.With everyone working together, my clinic quickly became clean and tidy.The largest room had a counter with a glass partition in the middle. It was decorated as a waiting room. We even set up a fish tank inside to kee
*Mia*I had to wait until I was feeling less afraid before I could slowly approach the gray wolf. It suddenly moved, looked up at me, and put one foot on mine. Among shifters, this was a universal move to show friendliness.I gently held the wolf's claw and a familiar scent floated over me. It was a medicinal herb called dipterocarpus from the distant east. According to Willard, it could clear a fever, detoxify poison, and refresh the mind. He often brewed this tea to drink. Therefore, over time, he started to smell of dipterocarpus."Willard! Are you Willard?" I asked.The gray wolf nodded weakly.Simon said, "Let's get him to bed."I thought about it. With his serious injuries, he couldn't move too much at the moment, or he would bleed more. There was only one way to stop the bleeding.At this moment, Simon's phone rang. After answering the call, he looked a little hesitant."Simon, do you need something?" I heard a stern voice on the other end of the phone. I figured it should be hi
*Mia*I was stunned. "What was Willard doing?"At first, he turned his head away from me. I thought he was asleep again, but just as I was about to leave, he took my hand.He slept fitfully, and in his sleep, he seemed to be fighting something fiercely. This worried me. I took his hand instead and called his name, trying to wake him from his nightmare.But he took my hand so hard that I lost my balance and fell onto him.Was he kissing me?His lips were so soft. He kissed me so gently. He cupped my face in one hand as if it were a treasure. His other hand slid down my shoulder to my back, roaming it.I heard him murmur softly, "Mia, Mia, mark me..."Upon hearing these words, Krell's stubborn expression suddenly appeared in my mind, and I instantly became sober.I hurriedly pushed Willard away. It definitely wasn't because of Krell. I said that he wasn't my mate, but I had no idea why I would think of him in such a situation.Willard's eyes were half-closed. His usually clear eyes were
