They arrived at what seemed to be the headquarters of the Royal Thane mafia group. The people there paid their respects with a bow and deep appreciation when Thane and Elinor arrived. Elinor felt slightly confused, but Thane explained that covering their tracks was common in their world, and this place was not their main headquarters."Don't overthink about anything here, dear. It's all built-in and has systems that humans can't suspect. We need to manipulate so that what we're doing doesn't leak out to our opponents," Thane explained as he wrapped his arms around Elinor's waist.There were many things Thane did not show the woman. All were kept so as not to cause anxiety. Moreover, they already felt uneasy since Liam announced his wish to Thane."Thane, there are so many people with the same clothes. Don't you want to create a new atmosphere, like replacing what they're wearing, maybe?" Elinor chuckled, making Thane chuckle at that.Thane stroked Elinir's hair gently. Then, she expla
Elinor had just said a brief farewell to Thane. They were letting go of their unwillingness to be apart for a few days. Thane kissed Elinor deeply, fondling her and giving her memories before leaving. "Don't misbehave while I'm gone. If you need anything, just tell Mia. She will fulfill everything." Elinor smiled at Thane's words."Take it easy. I'll be fine. It should be you who needs to be careful." Thane smiled and kissed Elinor's forehead.After Thane left, it was time for Elinor to relax in the penthouse. She sat in the living room, enjoying the quiet and the soft music. Elinor laid her body down on the sofa, enjoying the solitude with the snacks Mia had prepared on the table. Not only snacks but even drinks and snacks were served to make Elinor feel comfortable with her time."Huh... I don't know when was the last time I could be like this?" murmured Elinor as she stuffed food into her mouth.Now she reached for the book on the table, though her ears were listening to music. E
Thane felt the pounding of his heart as if danger threatened Elinor. A feeling of anxiety and anger immediately came over him. Without thinking about the consequences, Thane smashed the seat he was sitting in on the private plane with incredible force, causing a shocked and tense reaction from Mike and the crew."Why am I feeling so uneasy. What happened to you, Elin?" muttered Thane, who now looked unfocused."Hey, Thane. What's wrong? Did something happen? Why are you destroying your chair like this?" asked Mike, who saw that.Mike approached Thane with a worried expression and asked what happened. "I feel like something bad happened. It seems to be related to Elinor. I think she's in danger right now. I can't just stand by here." Thane, with a face full of anxiety, gave instructions for the plane to turn around immediately. "Mike, turn the plane around! We're returning to the penthouse! I have a bad feeling that can't be ignored!" Mike immediately contacted their crew in the city
Elinor woke up in an unfamiliar room, full of confusion and fear. As she slowly opened her eyes, she felt someone nearby stroking her hair gently. As her eyes focused, she was shocked to realize that the man beside her was Liam."Liam? What are you doing? Where am I?" asked Elinor, who looked confused and felt scared.Seeing Elinor's shock, Liam tried to calm her down. The man got closer to Elinor and grabbed her long hair to inhale her scent. Liam's face made Elinor uncomfortable, and he tried to avoid it."You are in my palace, Elinor. Fear not. I will always fulfil whatever you need. Just like that man, only I'm better than him." Liam emphasized to Elinor what he could do.Elinor shook her head, and she didn't want anything. However, Elinor only wanted to return to Thane. Elinor heard Liam's words with mixed feelings. Although she was in a strange place and she felt scared, she didn't want to depend on Liam. Her heart was still bound to Thane, and she longed for the presence and pr
The information obtained made Thane immediately head to the location. He couldn't be patient with Liam's game this time. "Hurry up, I can't wait to grab that man's mouth and use it as fishing bait!" Thane said in an angry tone.His emotions peaked, and his body temperature rose rapidly. Moreover, Elinor was currently untraceable, which meant she was unconscious. Thane's feelings were even more mixed when the car reached its destination.A building owned by Black Moon became Thane's primary destination. There were many members of the Black Moon group standing guard with weapons in their hands."What fools, don't they love their own lives?" said Thane, who was now aiming his long-barreled rifle at the heads of one enemy after another.Until Thane could enter the building, there were apparently many other members waiting. Thane could sense that there were no higher-ups from the group there. Still, he didn't want to waste the opportunity to reduce the number of Black Moon members.Mike w
At his current place, Liam was enjoying a drink at the minibar. He was still thinking of ways to melt Elinor's heart. In addition, Liam also knew that there was a bond between Elinor and Thane. Unfortunately, that bond wasn't powerful because Elinor was a human.Relationships that occur between humans and werewolves often make the wolves feel worried. They must be patient to get a strong bond like a mate.With this, Liam benefited. He could play Thane by putting a witch around him. In fact, this witch was more potent, so it could cover up Thane and Elinor's bond.Silently, Liam smiled wryly at the thought of what he would do after getting Elinor intact. He really felt like he was winning from Thane in this regard. Moreover, that man couldn't even find his own beloved."Look at that, Thane! Who's the winner now," Liam said as he sipped his drink.Liam chuckled as he imagined Elinor's beautiful face in fear and searching for Thane. Liam believed it wouldn't last long if he could win Eli
Thane felt angry and filled with explosive emotions. Around him, many things were smashed and out of place. In fact, the walls of the room there were cracked almost to holes from Thane's blows.The man could not calm down at the thought of Elinor's whereabouts. Despite trying to sharpen his vision with the bond he shared with Elinor, he still couldn't find the details of her whereabouts.Thane felt like a failure in this quest. The few times he tried, there was a vision that showed Elinor's whereabouts vaguely. However, it was a fragment. It made Thane Gray to be able to command his men."I can smell the scent of Elinor's body. I just can't tell where she is. What kind of man am I? Why let his beloved be in the hands of a criminal like Liam until now?!" Thane was really cursing his negligence. Thane was so upset. His mind was currently thinking about Liam, who was mocking him. This time, a wine bottle broke in his grasp. It was all witnessed by Mike and Amanda, who had been watching
Elinor was confronted by a woman who clearly disliked her. The woman showed an indifferent and sharp demeanor, making Elinor feel uncomfortable. Elinor realized how deeply disliked she was, and she did not hesitate to express her feelings.She was Tasha, the woman who had liked Liam all along and was unrequited because of her unrequited feelings. Tasha feels unfair about the current situation, significantly since Elinor's existence hinders her efforts to get Liam.Tasha slowly walked towards Elinor. With a look of hatred, Tasha said, "You know what? How much I dislike your presence here. You're making it hard for me to get him. I wish you'd leave this place immediately."Elinor smiled at Tasha's words. She replied without hesitation, "If you want to know, I really want freedom. I want to go back to my man. I want to leave this place if that's what you want."Tasha, despite her sharp demeanor, also has empathy for her fellow women. Right now, she listened carefully to what Elinor had t
