[POV 3]At one of the tables, a couple was seen chatting. They looked so familiar, talking about something that I didn't know what it was?The face of the woman sitting there showed happiness. From the smile and cheerfulness shown. Making everyone who sees her think that she is happy.However, among the familiarity, suddenly, the man's face hardened. Especially when Liam's figure walked towards them. The man became wary and showed a gesture that was ready to attack.Liam came with a woman behind him. Making Thane even more alert and warning Elinor not to flick. The warning Thane gave made Elinor uneasy. Her body trembled, and her heart beat fast."Thane, is she behind me now?" entreated Elinor."Hem, do not be afraid. I am here, Elin. You have nothing to worry about." Thane tried to keep Elinor calm.They were still trying to stay where they were. Sitting and enjoying the meal that was almost finished. Elinor expressed her worry, but she also said, "Is it possible that he would attack

[POV 3]Liam and Tasha were in a room. Liam's study, to be precise. The two seemed to be sitting across from each other, and Tasha was now staring at Liam with one hand resting her chin on the table. The woman's gaze depicted her raging feelings, so many questions that arose in her head and wanted to be asked.However, the man in front of her was currently going through some files that she didn't want to disturb. Tasha changed her position and now played with the pen on the table. She twirled the pen and then put it back down.It was very dull to be in one room without any conversation. Suddenly, Tasha remembered the incident that had just happened at the restaurant. A woman made Liam flirt with another Alpha's mate. Tasha, annoyed at the memory, now looked sharply at Liam and began to straighten her sitting position."Liam, do you really like the mate of your enemy? Do you realize that?" Tasha asked curiously.Liam stopped what he was doing and looked at Tasha sharply. His eyes were

Thane looked stiff and shaken as he revealed the tragic story of his past. After organizing himself, he finally explained what really happened."Maybe you don't know this, Elinor, but me and Liam, we used to be enemies who respected each other," Thane said in a severe tone. "We were always in conflict with the honourable in us. Liam had a mate, and they were a good match. When Liam found his mate, he gained more power than ever."Thane continued his story. "There was once a dispute among another mafia group, which, of course, involved us. That's when everything changed. I arrived first and didn't know that Liam's mate, a woman named Melani, was in danger. The people who kidnapped her then took her hostage, and that's when they did something that took Melani's life."Thane looks devastated as he recounts this part. "When Melani died, Liam was in a lot of pain. He blamed it all on me and blamed everything on me. He vowed to do the same thing I did to Melani, which was to take my mate. S

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

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
