Can't Slip From His Grip Chapter 8
When I woke up again, I almost thought I had arrived in heaven. Everything around me was white, and the air carried a faint scent of moonlit flowers."You're awake? You're awake! Healer!" A familiar voice exploded near my ear, trembling with a choked, tearful tone.I struggled to open my eyes and saw a scruffy, haggard face staring back at me. It was Reese.He had lost a lot of weight, and his eyes were sunken. He looked even weaker than I, the patient.When he saw me open my eyes, the once arrogant Alpha buried his face in my palm and started bawling like a pup."I'm sorry… I'm so sorry, Elara…"I tried to pull my hand back, but I had no strength at all. "You know… everything?"While looking at him weakly, I gently wiped the tears from his face with my fingers."I'd almost rather you had actually abandoned me…" he mumbled."What nonsense are you talking about?" I frowned, displeased. There was no way I could have abandoned him.Reese lifted his head suddenly, roughly wiped h

Reese saw that rainy night three years ago, of me kneeling at Caleb's feet and begging him through my tears."Please, save Reese!"With a cruel smile on his face, Caleb held a vial of his own blood in his hand. "Of course I can, but I need something in return."Without hesitation, I looked up and said, "I'll do anything. Whatever it takes. Just save him!""Give me your wolf essence, and I'll give you the blood."In the memory, I nodded immediately. Then came the excruciating pain of my wolf essence being ripped out of my body.I collapsed to the ground in an instant, yet I still held tightly onto the antidote with a faint smile on my lips."Reese, wait for me…"The memory cut off there.Reese rolled off me, looking as though he had been struck by lightning. He collapsed beside the bed, his face as pale as a sheet and his entire body shaking violently."I don't… That's impossible…"He looked at me as I lay unconscious, at my pale face and the bruises scattered across my body.

I looked at Reese in disbelief. "What did you say?""Since you're a healer, isn't this your job?" He started the car and laughed coldly. "I'll pay you ten times the market rate."I had no right to refuse him.…The next day, after signing a contract that was practically an indentured servitude, I was taken to Reese's private villa.It wasn't the cozy little home we had once shared, the one full of warm memories, but a mansion halfway up the mountain.My room, dark and damp, was placed next to the maids' quarters.Of course, Tiffany was the true mistress of the house. She seemed to notice Reese's special attention toward me, and she tormented me all the more."Elara, I twisted my ankle. Massage it.""Elara, I want cold spring water collected from the snowy peaks.""Elara, who gave you permission to stand in front of me? Kneel when you speak to me!"When I thought of the innocent colleagues at the clinic, I endured it all in silence.But what hurt me most wasn't Tiffany's tor

I gritted my teeth and was forced to follow Reese.The sound of an elegant violin filled the restaurant. Every guest here was dressed in fine clothes, exuding the air of those in power.Dressed in my cheap T-shirt and faded jeans, I was pressed into a window seat by Reese, while the waiter looked on with clear contempt.He ordered an expensive table full of dishes that I used to love—medium-rare steak, truffle mushroom soup, and a bottle of wine with a good vintage.But I couldn't eat a single bite."You betrayed me for money, so you should be thrilled to face all these things you couldn't afford before."Reese swirled his wine glass, watching me with amusement. "Eat. Why aren't you eating? Did Caleb spoil your tastes?"It was the same man, in the same place, and with the same dishes, but everything was different now.I picked up my knife and fork and mechanically cut into the meat on my plate. It tasted like nothing to me.Just then, a commotion broke out at the restaurant's

I froze, lowering my head in guilt.Reese looked at Tiffany and finally spoke up to stop the farce. "Enough. Pick out a new jewelry set you like tomorrow. Stop making a scene."He then dismissed Peter and Tiffany, but kept me behind.The room suddenly fell quiet, with the only sound being the ticking of the clock on the wall. The two of us stood in silence.In the earlier struggle, a shard from the broken wooden carving had flown up and cut my calf. Small beads of blood were already seeping through.The scent of blood hung in the air.Reese's gaze fell on the wound. For a moment, something that looked like concern flickered in his eyes, but it vanished in an instant.I told myself it must have been my imagination.I crouched down and gathered the scattered items from the floor, placing them back into my bag one by one. Finally, I picked up the two broken halves of the wooden wolf and wrapped them carefully in a tissue.Reese's expensive, bespoke leather shoes came to a halt in

Meeting Reese was the most unexpected accident of my life. Back then, I was still a healer's apprentice in a small pack.I was at the market when I saw a Rogue harassing an Omega she-wolf. I stepped in, subdued him, and turned him over to the law enforcement.At that time, Reese was still just the heir to the Silverclaw pack, young and full of confidence. He followed me for a while, intrigued.And that was how our paths crossed.The day he confessed to me was in a meadow full of moonlit flowers. I asked him why he liked me. After all, I was just an ordinary healer with no noble bloodline.Reese just took my hand and placed it over his heart, allowing me to feel its strong, steady beat."Because you're kind, brave, and smart. But more than that, because my wolf chose you."Maybe it was his pleasant scent drawing me in—or perhaps it was an unconscious flutter of my heart—but whatever it was, we were together for a long time after that.That was until Reese's father, the previous
