Sophia’s POVAlexander looks at me with brows raised in surprise while the two kids pause before Daisy jumps in delight. “Thank you, Auntie.”I smile, wondering why she is so happy. It is just for a night, and he won’t even sleep together with them.I ask, looking at Alexander, who has now stood up from his earlier position. “Should we move them to the guest room then?”He shakes his head, however. “Can’t they just stay with you?” He turns to them and asks, “Don’t you want to stay with Auntie?”I think they would not want to, considering how they were so persuasive for their father to stay around. But they bob their heads negatively as they respond, “We’ll stay with Auntie Sophia.”Alexander nods, clearly pleased, and I can’t help feeling that he has deliberately tossed them to me to get a break. But I am not even offended in any way. In fact, I am pleased. It is a chance for me to get to know the kids better.I smile as the clock chimes nine. “It’s late already. You should get to bed

Alexander’s POVI’m sitting on the bed, looking around the room. It’s built just like the setting of the guest room in my apartment. It feels strangely homely, as though it’s my own room. But there’s this vague anxiety at the thought that Sophia is so near.I can’t help but remember the moment I shared with her earlier. I could tell she was affected by my presence, and I was tempted to kiss her right then. But who knew she would run off so suddenly?I reach out to touch my lips, imagining how her lips would feel on mine. I remember them to be soft and supple when I kissed her the other night. I loved it, and I really want to kiss her again. Maybe some day when the kids are not near and she isn’t so cold to me anymore.Speaking of cold, I can’t help but rub my arms. The ventilator is on, and the night breeze keeps blowing in, making it cold. She was so startled earlier that she ran out, forgetting to hand me a blanket.I grab the remote from the side table and switch off the ventilator

Sophia’s POVI stay with him, sitting across from him on the sofa, watching him closely as he continues to sip on the water. The pain seems to be subsiding slightly, but I can still see the discomfort in his eyes.“I’m sorry for making you go Through all this trouble,” he says, breaking the silence, his voice still weak.I shake my head gently. “Don’t apologize. I’m just glad I’m here to help. You should have called me earlier if you weren’t feeling well.”He gives me a small smile. “My phone is dead, so I couldn’t call.”“Thankfully, I woke up.” I sigh, breathing out in relief. I feel oddly relieved. As he finishes the water, I set the glass aside and can’t help but ask, “What did you eat before going to bed?”He pauses for a moment, as if considering whether to tell me or not, then sighs. “Just some leftovers from dinner. There was nothing wrong with the food; I just had a bad stomach sometimes.”“Nonsense! You need to take better care of yourself,” I scold gently, my concern for

Sophia’s POV“Good morning,” he replies with a warm smile that sends my heart aflutter.I try my best to focus on the conversation at hand, but it’s hard not to get lost in the delicious distraction of his shirtless allure. I mean, how on earth am I supposed to maintain my composure with a Greek god standing right in front of me?He chuckles softly, seemingly aware of the effect he has on me. “Enjoying the view?” he teases, raising an eyebrow playfully.My cheeks turn even redder, and I quickly try to deny it, “Oh, um, it’s not that big of a deal. I just... happened to notice.” I mentally cringe at how unconvincing I sound, feeling like a character straight out of a cliché romance story.He flashes a mischievous grin, clearly enjoying my embarrassment. “Come on, don’t be shy,” he says, stepping a bit closer. “I know I’m not bad to look at.”My heart races as his proximity intensifies the butterflies in my stomach. Trying to keep my composure, I retort, “Oh, please. You’re not that gre

Alexander’s POV As I step inside the apartment with the kids, I look around, noting the considerable changes that have been made in it. It was soaked to the brim last night, but it’s now back to normal, and only the repairman is left in the kitchen, fixing the tap.Earlier, I had called for some of the servants from the main mansion to clean up the mess from last night. My goodness, the state they found everything in was alarming! But thanks to their hard work, the apartment now looks fresh and inviting. I’m grateful I didn’t keep any important documents here; that would have been a disaster!With most of the furniture replaced with new ones, it almost feels like I am in someone else’s place. It’s noon now, and I can’t help but wonder where Sophia is. I haven’t seen her since we left her place. It’s like she’s locked herself up in her own world, separated from us.I long to be around her, to understand what’s going on, but I have no excuse now like I did last night. It’s almost as if

Alexander’s POV Time seems to pass slowly, and I begin to wonder if Daisy faced any difficulties in convincing Sophia to come. Just as I’m about to check on her, the door opens, and there stands Daisy with the biggest grin on her face.“She said yes, Daddy! Auntie Sophia is coming with us!” she announces triumphantly.Relief washes over me, and I smile warmly at Daisy. “That’s wonderful, sweetheart! Thank you for inviting her.”Daisy nods proudly, and together, we finish preparing the picnic basket while we wait for Sophia to finish preparing and join us.Finally, there’s a knock on the door, and my heart skips a beat. I rush to answer it. And there she stands, looking stunning and radiant in a casual yet elegant outfit, perfectly fitting for a picnic in the park.Sophia is wearing a flowing sundress that complements her figure, and her hair cascades down her shoulders in loose waves, catching the sunlight like a halo. A pair of sunglasses rests on top of her head, adding an extra to

Tyler’s povI’m stunned by the revelation. “How is that possible? Didn’t he say the other time that there were five apartments left?”“Yeah, right?” Jake replies, clearly still trying to wrap his head around it. “But apparently, the owner knew the buyer personally, so he couldn’t do anything about it.”It isn’t really a big deal as we can get an apartment closer to it. Anyway, it is just to be closer to Sophia. But for some reason, i can’t help the feeling I get that Alexander has something to do with this.How is it that it is when we want to get the apartment, that all five of them have been bought, and it was by one person. Not to mention, those apartments are not in a sequence, so it can’t be to open an office.“It’s Alexander,” I tell Jake, and he looks at me with wide eyes.“Him?”I nodded. “He is out to boycott us.” I pause for a moment to think before telling him, “Did he not mention any other nearby apartments that are close to her?”Jake nodded as though a lightbulb just lit

Tyler’s povAs I sat in the dimly lit meeting room, my eyes lazily scanned the faces of my fellow werewolf hunters. The atmosphere was tense, crackling with unspoken anticipation. The leader, his face concealed behind a mysterious mask, stood before us, his presence commanding respect and attention. My usual carefree demeanor gave way to curiosity as I pondered the identity of the masked figure leading our secretive group.“According to the organization's latest intelligence network, we found that there are a large number of werewolves hidden in human society.”The leader's voice, steady and authoritative, cut through the hushed murmurs in the room. He presented a proposal that instantly piqued my interest. Recent developments among the werewolves had raised alarms, signaling a shift in their behavior. They were no longer mere solitary creatures; they were uniting, forming alliances, and sharing vital information. This unexpected unity posed a serious threat to our cause as werewolf
