Elena’s pov.

“I’m so sorry, Elena. I shouldn’t have been so blinded by the evidence before me. It just seemed so real, and because I care so much about Ethan, I got really scared and didn’t have time to think.” Monica spilled into Horace’s home office, standing before me while Horace stood by the window, hands tucked in pockets.

“Well, I can’t blame you for what you did. It concerns Ethan Afterall. I, too, would have been scared and perhaps acted the way you did. I just wish you trusted me more, but it’s all right. All has been sorted, and I forgive you.” I replied, sipping my coffee.

She tried to hide it, but I saw her hands tightening beside her in rage.

I knew she had mostly done it maliciously and not entirely because of some ‘caring for Ethan’s excuse. But since she wanted to play the game of deceit, I didn't mind joining her.

“Thank you, miss, for understanding.”

“Miss? No. Should be madam, Monica. Not miss.” Horace’s voice called out from the window.

“Oh, I’m sorry. Skipped

    Elena’s pov.Unhinged was an understatement for how Michael was acting. I never really knew he could even stop that low.“Alpha Horace, please release my wife from your grip. I know she’s beautiful, but she’s already mated to another, so I’m sorry, but you can’t have her.”Horace said nothing to him, just put his hands in his pockets, a dry twisted smile planted on his lips.I could see the triumphant look in Michael’s eyes as people gathered around us to witness the dramatic scene.The whispers followed, swirling around us like wildfire.Then, Horace took my hand, leading me out the door.I heard Michael let out a scoff. “Are you kidding me? You don’t even bother to hide it anymore in front of people? Are you really going to leave with another man?”We said nothing, just walked slowly towards the door.“Elena!” He yelled.No reply.“Goddamit, you don’t have the right to walk away from me. Come back here, this instance.”Still no reply from either of us.And just then, he crept up beh

    Horace’s pov.“Ready?” She asked as my eyes trailed her body behind my glasses.I wanted to keep it to myself, but it just slipped out. “You look… beautiful.”She gave a slight smile. “Thank you.” Then she looked away. “You don't look too bad yourself.”I smiled. “Is that your idea of a good compliment?”“Take it or leave it, alpha Horace. Greed has never done well for anyone.” She chided jokingly as we entered the car.We got to the venue, and as usual, I got out and opened her door.“Thank you, baby.” She placed a slight peck on my cheek.“Ouuuu, what was that?”“For the public right and the public are watching right now.”“Okay, you’re doing good. You’re on the right track. It means I need to increase my own skills then. To be able to keep up with the best actress in Crimson Moon.”“You better.”We both laughed as we walked into the mall in gentle strides, my hand settled on her waist.The event began in due time with the ribbon cutting before all guests went in.My friend got on t

    Micheal pov“So they will make a public appearance together?” I asked Monica.“Yes. I'm sure it's legit, I stole the schedule from the employer who made the arrangements.”“Good.” I scoffed. “So he wants to take my wife to the public. Like he doesn't care about what I will do, or like I can't do anything to him.”“Apparently so. And we can't have that. We can't let them start making public appearances. If that happens, it'll be difficult to break them up.”My jaw tightened. “I know he's the alpha and all, but isn't he being too bold. Does hethink I'll just let him take what's mine without putting up a fight?” What audacity.“Whatever, Michael. Just handle it and make sure that mall appearance doesn't happen.”I smiled wickedly. “Of course.”That night, I waited outside the mansion, contemplating whether to go inside and do something dangerous to the two people who were hell bent on making my life a living hell.Just then, the gate opened up and Horace's car pulled out.I smirked. Hel

    Horace pov.“I’m fine. I’m fine. Are you okay?” I rested my hand on her, patting gently.“Blood.” She mumbled.“Hey, come here. It’s fine. It’s not yours, okay. It’s in the other car, not ours. We’re fine.” I put her head on my chest before reaching for my phone to call the authorities.A car had just done a hit-and-run.But what was worse was that the car that hit seemed to be coming towards us at first.And unfortunately, another unaware vehicle came from the middle intersection and took the hit.And even though it didn't have any impact on our car, Elena looked so scared and confused.Like she was directly involved with it. I’d never seen those eyes look that scared and disheartened.“I’m here. I got you, I promise you. You’re fine.”I pulled her close, rubbing her shoulders. She leaned in tightly. Like she was afraid I’d leave if she didn’t.The appropriate force was there in a few minutes.Fortunately, the victim did not suffer major injuries. She was taken to the hospital for a

    Elena’s pov.How the hell was it even possible to feel my heart burn this deeply for a second mate when I had a whole husband? I asked myself.But I had no explanations for it. Horace, standing beside me, was in one of the most vulnerable situations I had ever been in.Worse, because he had my eyes blindfolded.“And to make it worse, you have on this same robe, Elena. This damn robe.” He growled against my ear.Did this man bring me to the deep forest to make love to me?it better not be because at this point, I had no iota of control left.Heat settled in places in my body that it had no business with.“H-Horace, what are you doing?” I managed.“What does it look like, Elena? You tell me.” He whispered against my ear, his big, cold hands wrapped around my neck in stark contrast to the warmth of my body.I mumbled something but didn’t have the courage to say it out loud.“Louder. Let me hear your voice.”I swallowed. “You want to make love to me… in the middle of the forest,” I mutter

    Horace pov.I stood at the door, watching as she got out of the car. As she came closer, I wrapped my arms around her waist, smiling. She looked at me with shocked eyes, about to protest when my voice rang out.“Don’t. We need to be very convincing to the public, don’t we?”“But we’re not in public now.”“Actually, we are. This compound is filled with people and people gossip and pass information. So dear girlfriend of mine, stop talking, come closer and give me a convincing hug.”Her eyes wandered around, meeting the various guards and workers around the house.She finally caved, leaned into me in a warm light hug. But I had more in mind.I pulled her closer and tighter into the hug, my hand traveling and settling on her waist.She flinched. “Relax, little miss professional, this is what a real relationship hug looks like. Not that robotic thing you were trying to do.”“My goodness, Horace.” She mumbled.After the public charade, we finally walked in.“So how did it really go?” I ask
