“Lina, it would be difficult for me to not treat you nicely. For there is no reason for me to do otherwise.” He said his statement as gently as possible. Lina doesn’t have to say that she’s hurt. The pain was visible in her eyes and she didn't seem to realize it. He reached out to touch her but she recoiled like a wounded animal. Eon gritted his teeth in anger to whoever in the past broke her heart for her to be in such pain. “You’re not going to stay…that’s a reason enough for you not to treat me nicely.” She spat the words in disgust. Eon being rational just irked her because it would melt the invisible shield that she painfully put up all her life to protect her from getting hurt. She already made a mistake once in the past—lowering her defense and it ended up so badly, she has no idea how she would start over. She traveled far away from home to find herself but she just ended up getting more lost and confused than ever. Eon was taken aback and lost for words. [Te

“I’m here because of your father!”‘Shit!’ Eon cursed to himself. He knew that having his best friend visiting him right after his father left wasn’t going to bring something that would make him happy. He exhaled a breath of irritation and got out of his car with the intention to cut his friend’s visit into a short one. He had no plan to invite him to the club either.“I know that look, Aegaeon. You’re already thinking of ways to kick me back to the mountains.” He laughed when Eon’s brows twitched in annoyance. “Nice to see you too, by the way.” His voice was laced with sarcasm. Coming here wasn’t really his choice. The city doesn’t appeal to him because he doesn’t like the feeling of being restricted. Not to mention, the air in this concrete jungle irritates the hell out of his nose.”“If it irritates your hound nose, why are you here? Go back to the moun

“Dear, I had been thinking if I could post the photos of the flowers that you drew to my social media.” Beatrice asked while Lina was weighing the flour that she needed for the bread that they were going to bake. Beatrice offered to teach her to bake as an exchange for drawing the flowers in her garden. They are in Beatrice’s kitchen learning the art of baking. The kitchen smells the aroma of freshly baked bread and cookies because they had been baking for hours. Lina wasn’t able to do what she was thinking of doing because Beatrice came to her apartment right after Eon left and asked her to come to her house. Now, it’s already past midnight and they are still in Beatrice kitchen baking bread. Beatrice told her that they are going to give away the bread to some homeless person not far from where they live, so she doesn’t have to worry about wasting anything. “Is this the last one?” She asked about the dough that she put inside the machine that would knead it.

“Hey, get up!” He kicked Elyon that he found sleeping in one of the couches in his office when he came down after taking a shower in his penthouse. He had already changed his clothes into an all-black set of clothes for he received intel from his men that he posted in the port where an ongoing fight over who’s going to control the area. The intel that he got was that one of the main guys from the other group is coming. It is the opportunity they are waiting for because the head of the other group just keeps on hiding. He just gives the orders to his men and it's such a drag. Eon wanted to settle everything as soon as possible for he had too many things to handle and he couldn't keep on dancing around the other group. Resources and lives of his men were being wasted. If he can settle who owned the area, bloodshed would be avoided. They are all businessmen—though none of them are running questionable businesses, still, they are putting money out there and wanting something in

Right as the man dropped to the ground, he heard a gunshot from the direction he came from. And this time, they weren’t hiding the sounds of guns. They wanted to be seen fighting someone who won’t fall down even if hit by a bullet. Those bastards had everything planned. He won’t be surprised if the fight that was happening there is being captured in an HD video.[Stay away from their direct sight. Do not be seen! Pass my order!] He wasn’t sure if his words were picked up by any of his men. They weren’t a pack. He was treated as their boss but not their Alpha, thus, his link to them wasn’t as strong. He wasn’t sure if someone heard his wolf but he had no time to stop to make sure he saw one of his men being hit with a bullet dipped in wolfsbane. “Shit!”“Boss!” The man that missed by the bullet dipped in wolfsbane was surprised to see him.“Be careful! Where’s Trent?” His eyes wer
