[Elinor's POV]I was a little surprised by Thane's question. Although I wanted to deny it, he already knew. Perhaps one of the guards guarding me told Thane about it. I realized there were a lot of people watching me, but Thane had only sent two guards to follow me to keep me comfortable while walking around in the mall."Hem... it's not a big deal, Thane. I just didn't want to make you angry and do strange things to them. I know what you'll do if you find out from me. So, just let that matter pass. Right now, I'm enjoying our time together."Thane stopped his steps, held both my hands and said, "I can feel what you're feeling, in case you forgot, dear. In fact, when you have that bad feeling, I'd love to be in front of you and rip out the mouths of those who say bad things about my Luna."I was happy to hear Thane's words. It was just that this matter had already passed, so there was no need to discuss it anymore."That's enough. Now let's spend some time together. I want to travel a
[POV 3]In his current place, Thane was wracked with anxiety and worry for his partner. His mind was unsettled, especially as he sensed what Elinor was going through. Several times, Thane asked Mike about the problems they were facing. "Isn't it over yet?" he asked for the umpteenth time.Hearing the same question, Mike grumbled, "What's wrong? Why are you repeating the same question from a few minutes ago? Did something happen?""It's not me, it's Elinor. I'm feeling very uneasy. I'm sure she's feeling this way." Thane walked back and forth, giving Mike a headache."Enough! You should call them if you're worried. Doesn't Elinor have a cell phone too? Why don't you ask her directly?" asked Mike, who was now feeling uncomfortable with Thane's attitude.Sure enough, before Thane could contact one of Elinor's bodyguards, a phone call came in, and Thane immediately answered it."Tell me! What's going on?" Thane asked without preamble."Sir, there were three people who approached Madame.
[POV 3]A man was sitting in the minibar. He was playing with a wine glass by shaking it slowly. His face looked mysterious, and he had a charming smile. His mind was wandering, imagining someone who kept appearing in his head."Elinor," he said slowly.He looked like a man in love with a woman. Several times, the same name was said, but she was not with him. "I love the scent of your body. Such a beautiful and extraordinary woman. You have captured my heart, Elinor. Yes, I want you, Elinor," the man murmured as he imagined the woman's face.Just as his heart was feeling so happy, the reverie was cut short when another man came in and gave him some bad information."Liam, our group lost to Royal. The casino fell into their hands. That man didn't allow any of our members to live. Then... there's one more thing you need to know." The man stopped his speech, making the man named Liam focus his eyes on him."Tell me! Why did you stop talking?!" said Liam, placing the glass on the table.
[POV 3]Liam's eyes slowly opened. He felt something strange about himself at the moment. For some reason, Elinor's face always came to mind. He moved as he held his head, which still felt bruised. Last night, he remembered drinking a few bottles until he got drunk. He was not feeling very good at the moment. Especially when he recalled Juan's words about Thane, who had given Elinor a sign. At that moment, Liam cursed and cursed what Thane got."Damn it! Why should he always be lucky?! Let's see, after this, I will take Elinor from you, Thane. I'll beat you and kill you so I can have everything you have. I'm not willing to let you be happy while I have to feel the pain here." Liam spoke as if Thane was in front of him.Liam remembered that Elinor came from the auction in the city center. He also knew what Elinor's past was like. However, Liam still did not expect that she had been the mate of his enemy all this time. His heart ached as if unwilling to see Elinor's happiness in Thane'
[POV 3]After Liam's departure, Tasha looked upset at not getting any attention. She had been waiting for a long time to become Liam's partner. The time it took was not short, it had been years that she tried to attract Liam's attention. Unfortunately, none of her efforts received any attention."Why are you still not aware, Liam? It should be time for you to be my partner," she muttered with a hug and thought about Liam's attitude.Juan was there with a bottle of water for Tasha. He handed her the drink, and she accepted it with annoyance."Why are you still expecting Liam? Isn't it obvious he's obsessed with the power that Royal has. Especially now that Thane has his mate. Surely, they will increase their vigilance even more." Juan tried to explain to Tasha about Liam's current state of mind."We've been together since childhood. Until now, I've always put up with his attitude. Especially if he's in an emotional state, I don't even have the guts to get close. You must remember what
[POV 3]Tasha left Liam alone for now. Looking from a distance, watching, and waiting for the right time to step in to be the woman who is there when needed. Tasha didn't want to ruin the atmosphere because of her rushed presence. Even though she knew she could come in at any time and be by Liam's side as an entertainer.Her plan was to win Liam's heart, to make him forget about Alpha's other lovers. Although it would actually be difficult to do, Tasha had the determination to carry out the plan to get what she wanted."Just watch, Liam. You'll turn your back on Elinor and choose me. I won't let you get that woman. She doesn't deserve a man like you." Tasha continued to mutter as if she wanted everything to happen according to the path she had set.Tasha showed up at Liam's residence. She came as if nothing had happened and acted calmly even though her heart was still unstable. Tasha's heartbeat could be felt by Liam and made him ignore her.The woman was aware of the attitude shown b
[POV 3]At one of the tables, a couple was seen chatting. They looked so familiar, talking about something that I didn't know what it was?The face of the woman sitting there showed happiness. From the smile and cheerfulness shown. Making everyone who sees her think that she is happy.However, among the familiarity, suddenly, the man's face hardened. Especially when Liam's figure walked towards them. The man became wary and showed a gesture that was ready to attack.Liam came with a woman behind him. Making Thane even more alert and warning Elinor not to flick. The warning Thane gave made Elinor uneasy. Her body trembled, and her heart beat fast."Thane, is she behind me now?" entreated Elinor."Hem, do not be afraid. I am here, Elin. You have nothing to worry about." Thane tried to keep Elinor calm.They were still trying to stay where they were. Sitting and enjoying the meal that was almost finished. Elinor expressed her worry, but she also said, "Is it possible that he would attack
[POV 3]On the way, Thane looked unhappy with what happened a moment ago. His face was still hardened. The look in his eyes was not very friendly to look at. The sight made Elinor a little scared and felt guilty. Elinor grabbed Thane's arm and rested her head on his shoulder. Thane realized that there was a woman who needed attention beside him."Thane, I'm sorry," Elinor said, making Thane glance at her and think.Thane's hand gently rubbed Elinor's head. Feeling the smoothness of his woman's hair that always used the best care recommended by Mia."What are you apologizing for? It's not your fault. If you're worried about Liam, we've been feuding for a long time," Thane explained, causing Elinor to tilt her head.Elinor had never understood the disputes within the werewolf pack. She also asked Thane, "Actually, have you guys always been in different groups and feuded like this? Or is there another trigger that makes your group have to fight?"Thane changed his position, now Elinor s
