Hey guys don't worry. Lionel had his reason to do so and he will fight her back. Please read and find out how he makes the expiation.
(Lionel's POV)"Why did you do it?!" Franz yelled, grabbing my collar. "Did you take her away from me just to use her to save that vicious bitch?!"My Beta punched me hard, and I didn't fight back this time.Wiping the blood from the corner of my mouth, I looked at him and coldly said, "I'm the Alpha of this pack. No one can interfere with my decisions!"Franz's face turned red with anger, and he cursed loudly, "You bastard! You don't deserve to be Rylee's mate!"Franz spun around and left with those words, slamming the living room door behind him.I gritted my teeth. Then, I heard footsteps from behind me. I asked angrily, "Are you happy now?""Of course," Jenna said with a smile as she came down the stairs. "Now, everyone will know that you love me, and that the real Rylee was only a substitute."I was sorely tempted to strangle her when I heard how smug she sounded. I was upset with the current situation. If I had been at Rylee's side, I wouldn't have allowed Alpha David to even lo
Bruce laughed scornfully and said, "I knew it. You really can't feel the bond, huh?"I glared at him, unable to believe my ears.I clearly had a mate already! My mate is Lionel, and I found him when I was nineteen years old!How could the person before me be my mate?I was thoroughly confused, and my heart beat wildly in my chest.I reacted with a jolt suddenly....Was he... my Second Chance?!Bruce came around behind me and grabbed my arms. He lowered his head, and I could feel his breath on my neck as he spoke in a low, hoarse voice, "Little wolf... Remember what I said? You're very much to my taste."I tried to struggle, but he suddenly pinned me to the door and growled, "What should I do? See, my body reacts for you... my mate!""Get off me!" I screamed. "Go find those your girlfriends if you want to get rutted! Don't touch me!"He chuckled and whispered into my ear, "But what if you're the only one who can satisfy me?"Having said that, he lowered his head and gently rubbed his no
A week later, the bodyguard handed me a bag again."This is the dress you need to wear at the auction."I accepted the bag and glanced inside with trepidation before sighing in relief.Thank the Moon Goddess that the outfit Bruce gave me this time was not something like the previous revealing maid dress. Instead, it was a long, demure-looking white dress.After changing my clothes and putting on makeup, the bodyguard led me to an underground garage where a silver Bentley was parked.The car's windows wound down as we approached, and I was shocked to the core when I saw the scene before me.A naked woman crouched between Bruce's legs, sucking him off.And for Bruce, except for his opened pants, he dressed meticulously neat and tidy.He gave me an indifferent look when he caught sight of me, then slapped the woman's ass and said, "Get lost."The woman shot him an indignant look and reached out to pick up her dress, but Bruce ordered, "Get out and dress outside."The woman was shocked, b
"Wh-- Mmph!"My eyes widened in shock, but I couldn't get any words out.I pushed him hard but couldn't move him any inch further.Lionel had locked both my hands to the side as he pressed his hot lips against mine, shoving his tongue into my mouth and licking every corner he could.I desperately turned my head, trying to avoid him, but he wouldn't release me!Until I felt I would pass out from the lack of oxygen, he released me a little.He cupped my face, his eyes darker than the night sky. His brows were tightly knitted together, and pain filled his face.Why did he look to be in pain? What a joke!"What the hell do you want?!" I exclaimed, shoving him away viciously."What's your relationship with Bruce?" Lionel asked suddenly, his voice hoarse beyond words. "Have you slept with him?"I was stunned as I finally understood why he was acting so abnormally tonight and suddenly felt a little pleased."Yeah, I slept with him. What does it matter to you?" I said, lying through my teeth.
"What are you doing back here again?" I snapped when I heard the door open. I turned around, annoyed, only to see Bruce instead.Oh, it wasn't Lionel...Half of Bruce's face was hidden in the dark and looked a little gloomy."Who did you meet with just now?" Bruce asked as he slowly approached me. He reached out to grasp my chin and tilted my head up. "Hmm?"I was forced to look up at him, and I couldn't keep the mocking tone out of my voice as I said, "Why you ask? I'm sure you saw him, didn't you!"Bruce narrowed his eyes and smiled abruptly. The hand on my chin trailed down slowly and suddenly grabbed my throat, choking me."I'm warning you. It's best if you don't test the limits of my patience. If I see you with that bastard again, I'll throw you in the casino, and the men there would not listen to your begging before stripping you off," Bruce threatened me in a tone that sent chills down my spine.I struggled to breathe from the sudden lack of oxygen. I didn't dare to gamble on w
Franz?"Why are you here?" I asked in surprise before hurriedly pulling him into the private room.I never thought I would see Franz, my dear friend, ever again.I held him tightly, tears seeping from my eyes due to my emotional state."H-hold on, Rylee! Watch the bottle and glasses!"It was then I realized Franz was dressed as a waiter, and he was holding a tray with a bottle of Lafite on it."I snuck in and blended with the staff," Franz said, then his sight moved to my outfit. His handsome face instantly flushed all the way down to his neck, "Hey, why you dressing like this?""That psycho, Bruce, is messing with me," I said with a sigh.Franz grounded his teeth. "That son of a bitch! I'll beat him to the ground!""Calm down," I said, soothing his anger before changing the subject, "How did you get in here?""I went through a lot of my informants before finally finding out that Bruce frequents this bar," Franz replied as he set down the tray. "I was going to kidnap and threaten him
I was shocked at Bruce's actions, which made me knock into the glass on the table, spilling water all over and onto the floor."N-nothing," I replied, shaking my head.Breaking free from his embrace, I turned around to meet his thoughtful gaze."Why haven't you left today?" I asked stiffly, changing the subject while ignoring the water that continued to drip to the ground."Didn't I say I'd take you to the cafe today?"I gave him an awkward smile. "Really? Aren't you busy with work? I can go on my own."Bruce stared at me unblinkingly, with a teasing look in his eyes.I could almost read the implications in his look and immediately defended myself, "I'm not trying to escape."Bruce raised an eyebrow.I calmed myself and continued, "You already have so many bodyguards following me around. How will I have a chance to escape? I just want to roam around and have a change of scenery. Besides, I thought about things last night... I was wrong. I'll try to learn to accept you from now on. I d
"Hurry and change into this. I'll get you out through the back door," Franz said as he pushed me into the bathroom."You sure Bruce won’t notice?" I reconfirmed with Franz uneasily. I didn't dare to gamble on it. I could still remember the freaking story Bruce had told me -- his ex-wife and her lover all had died in his hands.I didn't care what would happen to me, but I didn't want Franz getting hurt because of me."Don't worry. I added a sleeping drug to his coffee. He's probably falling asleep now, so hurry up and change your clothes!"I was relieved to hear that, and I immediately changed into the waitress uniform that Franz handed to me. I also tied up my hair and put on a mask. "Let's go."Franz led me to the back door, and it was fortunate that none of Bruce's men were around. We very smoothly got into a black car that Franz had prepared beforehand.Franz sped along all the way. I watched as the city that had trapped me like a prison for so long gradually get further and fur
