It’s been a week since father's surgery. By God’s grace, he was finally safe from danger. For several days he remained unconscious after the operation, but after two days, he finally woke up. I was overflowing with gratitude because God gave him another chance to live.
“Your father is positively respo
CLARKI lost track of how many glasses of alcohol I had since earlier. The tropical night had deepened, and my human head was spinning. My fragile tolerance was reaching its peak, so I switched to a glass of chilled pineapple juice for my next order.“You’re not drinking anymore?” John Clark asked curiously, noticing I hadn't ordered another double shot.“Yeah. I’m at my absolute limit,” I replied with a tired smile. We had shared a lot over the last few hours, and under the warmth of the alcohol, I felt comfortable enough to vent. I told him about the suffocating situation I was trapped in with Cadmus—though, of course, I spared the humiliating details about my financial debt and how my own body was essentially
CLARKSince Cadmus left, he hadn’t returned to the villa. His heavy Alpha scent had faded, replaced by the crisp, sterile air of the resort. A pack staff member came by once to check on the security perimeter, and a local server quietly delivered lunch, keeping her head low as if sensing the lingering tension of an Alpha's anger.Once I was alone, I finally checked the heavy designer luggage by the closet. Opening it, I found a massive wardrobe of high-end women’s clothing. I had been anxious about having nothing to wear after fleeing the territory so quickly, so the sight was a relief.Cadmus must have used his influence to have someone shop for me since we were in such a rush. Looking through the silk and linen options, I pulled out a long
CLARKI didn't bother looking at him anymore and turned on my heel, walking away down the beach. But I let out a sharp scream when I suddenly felt my feet lifted completely off the sand. The next thing I knew, the world flipped upside down, and I was slung roughly over his broad shoulder like a sack of rice."Put me down, you absolute assh0le!" I yelled, thrashing my legs and pounding my fists against his muscular back."Let's go to our room," I heard him say calmly to the staff, completely ignoring my violent tantrums."Cadmus!" I could hear Kate calling out desperately for him from behind us, but for once, he completely ignored her voice, keeping his heavy strides moving toward the luxury villas.
CLARK"Remind me again why I had to come with you." I asked irritably as soon as we got off the private charter plane. We had been in the air for almost sixteen hours, and my human body felt completely battered. What's even more annoying? All of this frantic, exhausting travel was just for a woman who had a lovers' quarrel with her husband."Because you want to come with me?" he replied jokingly, his deep voice carrying a dark, smooth rumble that vibrated with his natural Alpha confidence.I gave him a fake smile before rolling my eyes at him sharply. "Next time, don't drag me into your nonsense with that woman. If you want to tire yourself out and play martyr for her, fine. Be my guest. Just leave me out of it," I snapped before striding past him, my le
CLARK“I’m sorry that we didn’t have time to buy you some clothes. Don’t worry, we can do that the second we arrive in the Maldives," he said, his deep voice carrying a strange rumble that vibrated through the close quarters of the cabin.We didn’t get the chance to shop for clothes at the airport like he’d originally promised either. He was in too much of a frantic rush, his sharp werewolf reflexes keeping him on edge as his phone constantly lit up with frantic text alerts and tracking updates from Kate. I’ve honestly lost count of how many times I’ve rolled my eyes into the air the whole time Cadmus and I were preparing to head to the tarmac. His inner wolf was practically pacing beneath his skin, giving off a restless, chaotic static that made my own human senses feel hyper-alert and deeply irritated.Now, we’re seated in the plush, enclosed first-class cabin seats he booked for the both of us, currently high in the air on the way to the Maldives. Correction—his pack assistant was
CLARKBut our cheerful morning was abruptly cut short when Cadmus's phone suddenly rang on the table. The sharp electronic tone shattered the peace instantly. We both turned our gaze to the cellphone lying between our plates. A cold, heavy weight pulled at my chest the exact millisecond I saw the caller ID flashing across the screen.It was Kate.He glanced at me briefly, his sharp eyes trying to read every micro-expression on my face to see if my scent would give away my jealousy. But I forced my human muscles to lock, keeping my expression entirely blank and unbothered. He must never know that the ghost of his one true love still had the power to affect me this deeply.Cadmus waited for a few agonizing seconds, torn, before finally making a decision. I was completely stunned when his large thumb swiped across the screen and he aggressively declined the call. I tried to hide the sudden surge of joy that quietly spread through my chest at what he had just done. He had chosen me over h
