FAZER LOGINAlgernon looked at her with a warm gaze. "I admire your spirit. And your eyes remind me of..."
"My eyes?" Tabitha met his gaze, looking curiously into those commanding eyes.
"Never mind... Vanessa, keep up the good work. You have real talent. I'll make sure you're well taken care of." Algernon swallowed the rest of his words.
The truth was, her eyes resembled those of another person.

Algernon looked at her with a warm gaze. "I admire your spirit. And your eyes remind me of...""My eyes?" Tabitha met his gaze, looking curiously into those commanding eyes."Never mind... Vanessa, keep up the good work. You have real talent. I'll make sure you're well taken care of." Algernon swallowed the rest of his words.The truth was, her eyes resembled those of another person.Tabitha, the one who made his heart skip a beat.Back then, Derek married Tabitha without his permission, so Algernon hadn't met the bride until Derek brought her back to an awards ceremony. When Algernon saw her face, he was shocked to his core.He sent someone digging into her background and learned that Tabitha's father was John from the Silver Moon Pack. It was a native branch with no possible blood tie to "that woman." Perhaps, she just happened to look like her out of pure coincidence.Tabitha could feel the change in Algernon's pheromones, but sinc
Bonnie's face darkened almost instantly as Michelle brought up the topic. Her usually refined features twisted into a snarl. "Shut up! You know your father hates anyone to mention it, and why are you bringing it up again?""What's the big deal about it?" Michelle grumbled, pouting as she kicked at the ground. "I heard that years ago, Dad dumped his fated mate and their pup for a better future, and that he only secured the Lycan throne by marrying into your family. Well, if that's true, Dad was a total jerk back then.""That is enough! Who told you about it? And don't you dare mention it again!" Bonnie snapped, cutting her off.Michelle stuck out her tongue and mumbled, "It was... Grandma.""Your grandmother is getting old and getting confused! Plus, your dad is the Lycan now and holds the supreme power of the realm. You know his temper, and he hates it when people question his bloodline or his past. If you ever mention it in front of him, you're going to
Truman's heart sank to the pit of his stomach. He didn't miss the flash of murderous intent in Bonnie's eyes, and he knew exactly what was happening. The Luna was cutting her losses and leaving him to the wolves.In the hierarchy of the pack, the bond of a mate was far stronger than any other relationship. No matter how furious Algernon was right now, a simple apology from Bonnie would eventually cool his head. But if Truman dared to drag her down with him? That was a death sentence.Truman lowered his head. The blood dripping from his temple pooled on the floor, beginning to clot. He had no choice but to take the fall.“It's... It's all my fault. I was an idiot,” Truman stammered. “Luna did tell me to take good care of her. I planned to, really. The fireplace in that room was broken, and I'd called a repairman, but he was busy fixing a wall in another house today. I was just stressed and lost my temper... I should never treat her that way, and I'm sorry! Please, for the sake of my ye
“If I hadn't heard those words with my own ears, I never would've believed you had the nerve to lie through your teeth like that. You're an absolute disgrace to this family,” Cyrus said, his voice as cold as ice.Truman was scared to death. Ignoring the searing pain in his chest, he scrambled to his knees and began frantically slapping his own face. Each strike landed with a heavy, sickening thud.“It's all my fault, I'm so sorry... Vanessa, please, forgive me! I was getting old and confused!” Truman pleaded. “Cyrus, please, for the sake of my hard work all these years, just let me off this once. I've lost my mind, and I swear this will never happen again!”“If you're getting old and confused, well, I think you're no longer fit for this position.” Cyrus looked down at him with zero warmth in his eyes. “The pack pays you well. But we didn't pay you to bully the vulnerable ones."When he heard he was bei
“None of your business,” Tabitha said flatly.“Where do you think this place is? Huh? Here is the Lycan's home!” Truman barked, his voice straining with the low, frantic growl of a cornered beast. “You think you can just come and go as you please?”Tabitha let out a soft, mocking laugh, her eyes full of disdain. “As I said, it's none of your business.”“You're not going anywhere! Yes, the room is a little cold. So what? I'll figure something out, alright? There's no need to throw a tantrum and walk away like this!” Truman sounded panicked.Bonnie had told him to make things difficult for Tabitha. To break her pride, but he wasn't supposed to drive her away. If she left the territory, he'd have no way to explain it to Algernon.Tabitha saw right through him. She had nothing but contempt for low-ranking werewolves who acted like big shots just because they held a little delegated authority.
Tabitha gazed at the butler in the eye. "Well, this is such a big house. I believe there must be other guest rooms, right?""Well, like I said, we rarely have guests to stay the night. So, all the guest rooms are like this. The heaters are not working properly since they were out of use for a long time. Anyway, the night will be over before you know it. As werewolves, we don't fear the cold, do we? So, there's nothing to worry about. "Tabitha flashed him a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "Fair enough.""I still have work to do, so I'll leave you to it." The butler said in a cold tone and turned to leave."Not so fast. Just one more thing. Truman, where is your room?" she said in a light tone."In the inner courtyard. Why?" he said impatiently and was a bit confused."Good, so I'll take your room tonight. And you sleep here." Tabitha lifted her chin and said in a challenging tone.Truman's face paled. "That's out of the question! It
