Eliane POV
"Are you still mad?" Alex asked from behind the bathroom door where I was getting ready for the day. He was under the impression that I was upset by his question about Maya's love life but the truth is I'm still shocked by the head enforcer's reaction. Well, it's nothing concrete but still, it is something. I opened the door and walked out.
"Alex, for the fifth time I'm not mad at you. I just think it's not honest to pursue a human when they know that their mates are waiting for them somewhere." I answered him while looking for a rubber band in my bag. He made me sit on his bed and kneeled in front of me.
"They both lost their mates," His voice was reflecting the painful fact. "I would've never asked if they were players. They are both good and responsible m

Maya POV"Why am I not surprised?" I turned to my 'chauffeur' for the day who just stopped in front of the big house, "I should've figured this out when you showed up at the airport. Coffee and chocolate! and here I thought you missed me," I stepped out of the car, leaving Ian behind sweating and choking on his words."Of course I missed you, more than you could ever think. Believe me, please!! Liza blackmailed me into bringing you here. You know her. You know how she can be when she wants something." I ignored him and walked toward the opened door, where a young maid was waiting for us. Of course, I knew that Liza was the one pushing him into abducting me upon arriving here. Ian may be a grown up man now, but he's still no match to his sister."Welcome, Miss. Evans, M

Eliane POVThe head enforcer stood a few steps away with a disappointed look. His cold eyes were looking down on me waiting for my next move. He shook his head before grabbing his teacup and taking another sip. If it was any other time, I would've found the sight of a half shifted Lycan drinking tea hilarious, but not today. This simple gesture was a way to tell me that he never thought of me as a threat. A painful reminder that he could kill me anytime he wishes to, and my pathetic excuse of attacks won't stop him."Is that all you have little wolf?", He taunted me with a bored tone. "I thought you were going to stop me, to kill me, but all you've been doing the past hour was jumping around and winning like a pitiful puppy." I gathered my remaining strength and pounced at him. This time I was aiming for his leg since I

Eliane POV"What are you thinking of?", Alex's hand squeezed mine to gain my attention. He couldn't help but ask since I didn't utter a single word from the moment I got into his car. Despite Maya's words and his comforting presence, this morning's events were still vivid in my mind. The anger was still there, but now it's no longer directed at the head enforcer alone. I was pissed at myself too. I felt stupid and naive. How could I ever believe that I could hide inside my cocoon forever?"Eliane?", I shook my head, trying to chase away those dark thoughts. I should focus on my second date. I should thank him for running back to me. I should think of a way to improve myself and become useful to those dear to me. But I couldn't do anything. My mind was still replaying my shameful morning.

Eliane's POV"Are you sure, gorgeous?" Maya asked me for the tenth time since I called her."I promise. I'm fine. I want to see things through here.""Fine, but if anything happens...""I'll catch the first flight to you," I laughed trying to show her that I was really fine. "Anyways, tonight I'll send you some pics of my new baby." It was her turn to laugh."I already saw it.""When?""When you were making out with it. Poor Alex, he didn't see this one coming!!","What? It was recorded?"

Maya POV"...And then uncle Rain and uncle Luca went back with me this morning to ...""Wait, wait, wait... Uncle Rain and Uncle Luca? Since when?", Eliane put down the spoon and turned to look at me with a light blush. I could clearly see that she wasn't comfortable with it."Yesterday, Bet... Uncle Rain said that it was weird being called by his rank in his house and asked me to drop it." She bit her lower lip, "He wanted me to call him dad, but I couldn't. Alex suggested to call him uncle until I feel more comfortable." It made sense in a way. She was living with them, monopolizing their kitchen, and more than anything, she was their daughter-in-law. She's practically family now."And what about the other idiot?",

Luca POVI watched her walk away. I wanted to stop her, but I couldn't move. 'Let's not talk at all, head enforcer!' Her cold words made my Lycan whimper in the back of my mind. The mate I was waiting for, the woman I almost lost hope to ever meet after a century of desperate research, didn't want to talk to me. What did I do? I never wanted to hurt her. To make her cry. I just wanted Eliane's wolf to step up, to stop hiding behind the false safety of this bold Human. I wanted her to unleash her inner powers and become a shield to protect my mate. To stand between her and any potential danger instead of hiding behind her. Just thinking about all the foolish things my Human mate has done before makes my blood freeze in my veins.I knew she was different from the moment our eyes met. She didn't give in to the mat

Maya's POV,"Two hundred thousand dollars!!" The familiar smug voice woke me up from my heated daze. My head started spinning. My hands and feet became cold. I turned toward the voice's direction, only to find a pair of snobbish eyes looking down at me. I knew she would be here, but I didn't expect her to look for trouble. I sighed, looking toward Eric and liza, who were both frowning."Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars!!" Liza was the one to bid higher."Well, it looks like even our hosts are interested in this royal diner!" The M.C said, surprised like everyone else."Is that her?" Eliane's grabbed my hand. I nodded, finding it hard to speak. After all these years, it still hurts. The pain was still there. I took a deep breath, pretending not to notice her."Who is she?" Asked Alexia, sensing the change of moo

Eliane's POV"I can't believe he apologized to you!!" Alex looked stunned."I can't believe he offered me a one million dollars dinner!!" My eyes were roaming inside the fairy carriage. Everything looked magical. I did feel like a princess."It should've been me who offered you this." I glanced toward the overly-cute sulking Alex, who was glaring at the menu. Chef Ingrid prepared different menus to match the winner's dietary preferences."I don't really care who got it for us as long as you are the one sitting here with me, my prince." I smiled shyly, trying hard not to blush. He grabbed my hand and brought it to his lips. He softly kissed it before resting his forehead on it.
