Now, with the help of my pack's strength, we are now on the way to rebuilding our houses that had been damaged.While in Phoenix, he gets a distress call from his father, leading him to have no choice but to go back.He even expressed that he wanted to stay here there, but after a moment of persuasion, I managed to persuade him to go back to his pack and deal with the businesses he needed to deal with.However, before he left, he sent me three of his trusted knights to guard me.“Luna, we've checked the whole area and so far, there was no rogues lurking around.” It was Ren, one of Phoenix's knights that he sent to protect me, he said with his usual expression.The other two also nodded their heads, completely agreeing with what Ren had said.I nodded my head and looked at them thoughtfully. “Thank you for your hard work. You can now take a rest.”The three of them shook the
HERMIONE'S POVWhen I opened my eyes, flashbacks started to rewind in my head. It reminds me of how I got here and why I am in this situation.My hands were tied on the bed, and so did my legs, preventing me from escaping.When I looked at my surroundings, I found out that other than a door, there were no windows.I don't know what time it is now.The only thing I know is that Elijah had betrayed me.But why?I don't remember engaging in a fight with him nor do we have conflicts. He was good to me and I was also good to him.So why did this happen?!I heard the creaking sound of the door, and into that door, Elijah's satisfied gaze had come into view and he was holding a tray filled with food while walking towards me.“You're already awake, my love.” He softly said and his eyes were lovingly looking at me.The way he looked at me sent me shivers.“Why are you doing this, Elijah? This isn't like you!” I couldn't help but voice out my dissatisfaction as I looked at him.In fact, Elijah
PHOENIX'S POVI rubbed my temples and tried to calm down my throbbing veins as I went outside to find Megan.“What's up, Alpha King?” She said with such an ease while helping the little pup to perform a punch action.“Have you seen Hermione?” I asked her.For some reason, I couldn't explain it, but I felt like something had happened.Megan's brows furrowed. “I've seen her earlier.”Hearing this, I suddenly felt relief. “Where is she?”“She was in the garden, currently watering the plants when I saw here. However, I don't know if she was still there.” Megan answered, and I nodded my head, directly went to the garden to check if she was still there.Although I was relieved after hearing that someone had seen her for as long as I couldn't see her, I wouldn't rest assured even though it's just for a day.The moment I arrived at the garden, I saw her watering the plants diligently and as if she had noticed my presence, she turned to look at me and put down the watering tools and went towar
HERMIONE'S POVA sudden change of the atmosphere, making me look at Elijah and saw his face darkened.“Fuck this persistent shit!” He clenched his jaw and climbed off the bed as he took his coat as well as his knife with him.Guessing from his reaction, it seemed like someone had found out about this location, and I'm sure that it was probably Phoenix's doing.Hah.I suddenly felt relieved.Even my tense muscles had unconsciously relaxed especially after knowing that Phoenix would be here to save me sooner or later.“Then it's all good.” I softly muttered as I closed my eyes.I haven't properly got sleep because I was guarding my body for fear that Elijah would do something inappropriate on it without me knowing, that would be disgusting.Furthermore, I would rather die than bear such humiliation.Besides, I tested this chain last night. I even broke my bones again just to try to see if I could get this chain out of my wrist and my ankles, however it all failed.All because I needed t
HERMIONE'S POVHe says he's not jealous, but his face was saying the otherwise and I even caught him rolling his eyes. His hands were wrapped tightly around my waist, and he buried his face in my neck without saying anything.“Still jealous?” I softly asked while patting his head.I tried to get out of his embrace since I still had some paperwork needed to sign, but whenever I tried to get out, he would kiss me heavily, leaving me breathless.“Seriously, Phoenix. How can we communicate if you won't say anything?” I calmly asked while patting his head.He let out a grunt while rubbing his face on my neck. “Don't worry, just let me hug you for now. I will calm down soon.”I helplessly looked at him and put my hands on both of his cheeks, looking at him in the eyes.“Are you jealous of forgiving the fact that I easily forgave Elijah? Or that he was my suitor before? I'm telling you this, Phoenix, I won't ever cheat on you and you know that. I easily forgive him because I know that he was
HERMIONE'S POVAs expected, the moment I tried to get off my bed, the soreness and pain in my back had struck again.I let out a hiss as I carefully stepped my foot on the ground and happened to glance at the time.It was already four in the afternoon and I had slept for a day! It was still yesterday when we had done our deed and I had just woken up right then.Fuck. At the end of the day, it was only me who suffered a lot after doing the deed!Although it was enjoyable, it was fucking tiring!“Let me help you.” A strong arm immediately wrapped my waist and carried me.“I want to go to the bathroom.” I said while looking up at Phoenix, who was still wearing a white apron.“Does it still hurt?” He softly asked while looking at me as he walked to the bathroom.I couldn't help but click my tongue and roll my eyes at him. “Duh, of course it does! I already told you to stop and I even got to the point where I begged you, yet you didn't stop!”He guiltily let out a chuckle. “W...Well, you l
HERMIONE'S POV“Elizabeth still hasn't come back?” My brows raised as I looked at Megan, who was the one who helped me with the documents since Elizabeth was still absent.Megan nodded her head solemnly. “I don't know what had happened to her either, but it had been almost three weeks since the last time that I saw her.” She sighed heavily, “and she just said that she would be away to investigate the person who wanted to harm you but up until now... she hasn't gone back.”Hearing this, I couldn't help but frown. “Did something happen to her?”Megan shrugged her shoulders. “I don't know, but... Denver, well... her mate, was also with her, so if something happened to them, for sure, Denver would protect her.”I nodded my head and couldn't help but recall Denver. “Well, it seemed so.”“Anyway, stop worrying about her. Don't worry too much because they will come back safe and sound. Besides, who would dare to harm our beloved Elizabeth and, even if she had enemies, she would still surely
HERMIONE'S POVWe three had decided to meet the sponsor. After all, we cannot reject the request of the sponsor, especially if they are the ones who would decide whether they would continue to sponsor our pack or not.“I want to go with you, can I?” Who else would ask me those questions with a pitiful voice other than this Alpha King?“No, you can't go with me this time. The sponsor only wants to meet us,” I answered while I finished wearing formal attire.“Shall I be your sponsor then? I have a lot of money and I don't know where to spend it. I'd rather want it if you kept on spending my money.” Phoenix said while hugging my waist as he buried his face on my neck.I let out a soft chuckle as I patted his head. “I told you, you cannot spend your money on my pack.”“Aren't we a couple? My money is your money too. Besides, we're going to get married soon, so what's wrong with my wife, using my own money?” He insisted heavily while rubbing his nose on my neck, which made me tickled.“I k
