Max couldn't accept hearing Ivory's rant, which heated his chest. The girl should not have said all that. If Ivory had been told that, then the girl wanted Benjamin. Not just because she was drunk but because she wanted it from that pale man. "Stop it, Ivory! Please, don't say that again. I ..." Max couldn't continue, but inside, he was already raging with anger. He wanted to teach the girl a lesson, but what? Max could no longer contain his feelings. He lay ivory back on the sofa, stripped off strand by strand of clothing attached to Ivory's body, scooped up the girl's lips with his lips, and kissed her deeply and soulfully. Whether he admitted it or not, he was, in fact, jealous when he heard Ivory mention Benjamin's name repeatedly. Max could not accept the man touching Ivory even though he had no right to be angry. Ivory was no one, even once, someone he wanted to eliminate. And remember that every time Max shudders at the thought of how ruthless he is. He now does something
The four of them were silent as they enjoyed their dinner. Ivory's gaze wandered around the room when she didn't find Max in the dining room with them. She wondered where he had gone and if it had anything to do with what had happened between them.Mirielle had not opened up about Max as if she didn't care. Or as if Max was not a member of their family.Ivory forced a smile as Marion and William asked her many questions. And none of their questions referred to Max.Ivory then locked herself in her room when they had finished their dinner. She didn't care if the Reynz family considered her rude; she didn't want to communicate with anyone.Except for Max, perhaps—because he was the only one responsible for Ivory's mood this time.Max owed Ivory a lot of explanations.Ivory couldn't stand her feelings. She then intended to divert her mind to something more interesting to her. She swayed her steps towards the lake and took off each piece of clothing, and plunged into the water.She didn't
The three of them were silent, unsure of the thoughts in their heads. Ivory with the choice of whether to return to Benjamin or stay with Max, as well as Max with his fear of losing Ivory, even though there is no love in his heart for the girl.Then what about Mirielle?Of course, the girl is preoccupied with her thoughts because she is not only thinking about her problems but also all members of the Alsenic Pack. Even the entire pack in The Cardinal because even though she was only twenty-five years old, she was an elder, the guardian of the wolf pack.She now questioned Amethyst's credibility as a moon goddess. How could the news Amethyst had shared with humans all over the earth be taken back?And Amethyst even admitted to Mirielle that she never matched Max with Ivory due to racial differences."Damn it! What an incompetent goddess!" Mirielle grumbled as she stomped out of the room Jeremiah had purposely provided for Ivory."Hey, what's wrong with my granddaughter? Who's incompete
Ivory was still on strike with Max. She refused to even look at him when he came into her room to deliver the food because Ivory didn't even show up at the dining table when all the family members had dinner.Ivory chose to occupy herself with the knitting tools given to her by Gabriella Avery—a doctor from the vampire race who is Jeremiah's lover.Ivory preferred to focus on what she was doing at the moment rather than listening to what Max had been saying."Ivy, I'm talking to you. Don't you want to listen for a minute?" asked Max, who was getting annoyed.Ivory's anger made no sense to Max and would only make what they were trying to do this time end in vain. To be more precise, Max was trying to ask Ivory to stay with him. And Ivory's attitude clearly shows that she is reluctant to choose Max.What if the man again intends to kill Ivory as he once did? That's what Ivory is afraid of."I have no obligation to do what you say, Max. You're nobody to me!" she snapped as she continued
"What have you done, Elle? You let Ivory go for a walk but didn't keep an eye on her? Have you gone mad? Look at what happened to her now!" snapped Max, feeling rageful and protesting Mirielle's action of letting Ivory walk alone.Everything that happened to Ivory was not Mirielle's fault, and she would not apologize for something that was not her fault."Hey, watch your language, Max! I'm not her babysitter, and the one who should be looking after her is you! If anyone's to blame, it's you! So don't accuse me all you want, you damn wolf!" retorted Mirielle, who fell silent when she heard footsteps approaching.She and Max had deliberately talked in Jeremiah's office so that no one would hear their argument. However, their decision seemed not correct because Ivory could easily hear the two of them yelling and screaming at each other, even in Ivory's room.And one more mistake, Mitielle nor Max didn't close the door properly."Are you guys fighting because of me?" the girl asked, makin
Max only looked at Ivory from a distance. He did not dare to approach the girl who was still lying weak. How many days has it been since the clay wolf attacked her? Until now, Ivory's body looks even more helpless.Max felt something was different about the girl. However, he couldn't find anything. His brain couldn't think for now, only thinking about Linea's tactics which would be very dangerous for Ivory.Max had to find out immediately what Linea was doing to prevent the woman from hurting his soul mate."Oh, you're home. What about that woman? Did you manage to overcome it?" asked Mirielle as she peered at the preparations through the microscope before her. She did look like a scientist. Unfortunately, Mirielle did not major in science but in art.Max flopped down on Mirielle's bed and folded his legs. He watched his sister, who was still busy with her experiments and medicines."I don't know how to deal with Linea anymore. You know how Linea is, right? She's so crazy and reckless
Max couldn't stay still. He had to determine who was in the lake with him and unconscious in his room. Which of the two is the honest Ivory?He repeatedly just paced back and forth while wringing his hair in frustration. He didn't understand why everything was so odd, and he never imagined it would happen to him.Max asked himself and even Mirielle several times. However, he didn't get any answers."Elle, tell me what you saw. What's your gut feeling, Elle?" urged Max, who was getting impatient because of the strange things that had happened in his life recently.He couldn't be sure when. It could have been a long time ago, but he only realized it now because it's been a while since he understood who he was. Max had just accepted the strange fact that he was not an ordinary human but a member of the wolf race.And Ivory ... did that girl have a power like Mirielle that could instantly shift places?Mirielle shook her head. She also did not understand if there was a mistake in her visi
Max was attending a meeting with the board of directors, one of whom was his father, William Reynz. Max still had a problem with William that he needed to solve. At least William helped Linea to leave and move to another division because Max had run out of ideas to get rid of the woman. When the meeting was over, Max followed William to his room. William knew that his son was in a state of anxiety. A lot had happened recently, and William didn't know how to deal with it. Ivory was still acting strange, especially at night. She would come to Max's room or wherever the man went. Ivory can't seem to get enough of what they've made love for and hopes Max will bring her back to the peak of pleasure like before. It seemed impossible that Ivory was in love. Because during the day, she turned into the Ivory that Max knew—the Ivory who was rude when talking to him, and Max didn't care about that. He made Ivory his partner not because of love but a necessity from nowhere. "What brings you
