Lucian had always been known for his kindness. A man who spoke with respect, never raising his voice, never letting anger control him. He was composed, polite, someone who could always be counted on. But now, he stood before Ainsley, shouting as if his entire world was crumbling.

He was in agony, but there was a bitter laugh on his lips.

"Ainsley, that's ridiculous!" Lucian's voice cracked. "What makes you think you can ask me to do something you can't even bring yourself to do?" His gaze was filled with disbelief as he locked eyes with Ainsley. "I will never admit that I could fall for a woman like her!"

Ainsley remained calm. "In that case," Ainsley said, his voice low but steady, "stay away from her. Maybe you're right, but I'll find my own way to say those things you can't."

Lucian's laugh was hollow, almost maniacal as he eyed Ainsley like he was the greatest fool in the room.

"Ainsley, you're ridiculous," Lucian scoffed. "I’ll watch you... But as for Eloise? I’m done. I’ve alread

    “First, take a shower and go to sleep. Second, I’ll help you wash up and share the bed with you. If you refuse to choose the first option, then I think you’re choosing the second. You stay up so late. I think you must be waiting for me and showing your affection for me. In that case, just tell me directly. It will satisfy you.” Ainsley looked at Eloise and said slowly.At first, Eloise stood motionless, her heart skipping a beat. Ainsley’s words stung like a cold wind, but it was the way he said them that left her breathless. What does he mean?Eloise was stunned. When she heard his words, her cheeks flushed a deep red, and before she knew it she suddenly looked up and shouted hoarsely, "I'm going to take a shower!" Afterward, Eloise entered the bathroom under Ainsley's complacent gaze.The hot water came out of the shower and fell on Eloise's body. She closed her eyes and immersed herself in a whirlwind of thoughts.At that time, she had no idea what her future would hold.Giving up

    "Didn't I tell you?" Ainsley asked, his voice casual. "There's a glass wall in the bathroom. You can't see inside from outside, but you can see outside from inside."Eloise blinked, confused. "Why didn’t I see it?" she asked without thinking.Ainsley chuckled lightly. "Why didn’t you see it?" he repeated, as if wondering the same thing. "Maybe because the window blinds are usually down. I just decided to put them up."He stepped back into the bathroom, turning off the faucet, and then held up a key card. "Are you looking for this?"Eloise’s heart skipped a beat when she saw the key card. Oh no, he knows. She suddenly understood what he meant.Ainsley's forehead was wet. Water dripped from the tips of his hair. He walked over to Eloise."Alpha Williams, I'm sorry!" An imperceptible glint flashed in Eloise's eyes. She bent her knees and knelt before Ainsley as she spoke. Ainsley reached out a hand to hold Eloise's arm. Eloise looked up and saw his face close to hers.Ainsley’s gaze soft

    Eloise remained firmly in place and did not move. Her body was tense, and though her thoughts raced, she couldn’t bring herself to speak again."Eloise, pick it up for the second time," Ainsley’s voice was deep and unwavering, his gaze sharp and piercing. He didn’t look away, as if daring her to defy him.A small bead of sweat appeared on Eloise's forehead, but she kept her gaze steady. "I’m an employee of the Club. I work in the Public Relations Department of Club Scarlet Heart. I’m not an employee of the Williams Group." Her voice was firm, though a slight tremor betrayed her inner anxiety.Ainsley took a step closer to her. His gaze never wavered, and his presence felt like it could crush her if she didn’t move. "You’re still under my roof now. Pick it up," he said, his tone colder.Eloise took a shaky breath, stepping back slightly, but her feet felt like they were glued to the ground. "I… I’m not working for the Williams company, I’m not picking it"Ainsley stopped right in front

  • Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection    Unanswered Question.

    Ainsley noticed that Eloise was reluctant to let him in. There was hesitation in her eyes, a fear that wasn’t there before. She’s afraid of me, he thought, but the notion didn’t concern him. He decided to ignore her feelings and walked straight in, as though nothing had changed. He was used to getting what he wanted. She’d have to deal with it.“Alpha Williams, wait a moment. I’ll go get you some water,” Eloise said quickly, lowering her head and walking toward the kitchen. But before she could take a step further, Ainsley reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her back with a force that left her breathless.“No need,” he said, his voice calm, but there was an undeniable finality in it. “Pack your things and come with me.”Eloise froze, confusion flooding her mind. What? Did I hear him right? She stared at him, her heart racing as her thoughts scrambled. "What?" she asked, her voice trembling, almost in disbelief.Ainsley’s expression didn’t change. His eyes, cold and unwavering, me

    After leaving the room, Eloise felt her consciousness return in a wave. The numbness she'd been under faded and the reality of her situation rushed in. She struggled to break free, her thoughts swirling.“I won’t go, Alpha Williams, I won’t go.” Her voice cracked as the words tumbled out, desperate, pleading. “Can I live alone? I prefer it that way. I beg you... please don’t make me move there.”Her body was weak, trembling beneath the force of his grip, but her defiance surged.She refused to leave, the words coming out of her were sharp and angry, “Ainsley! You’re so bossy! You’re barging into my home! It’s... it’s not rig...”Before she could finish, he silenced her with a simple gesture, a phone was handed to her. His cold and unyielding voice followed. “Take it, and call the police.”Eloise's heart sank. She had tried everything. She had begged, she had cursed him, but Ainsley was unfazed. There was no sign of anger in his eyes, no rise in his voice. He was terrifyingly calm, a r

    “There are books there. You can read them if you want. I'm going to a meeting,” Ainsley said.Eloise stood stunned as Ainsley turned around and walked out of the office, leaving her alone.She looked around. The decor was no different from how it had been three years ago. It was his usual style.Eloise had to sleep in Ainsley's room for two nights. However, she hadn’t slept for those two nights. She sat on the couch and soon couldn't resist sleep, eventually falling asleep.About an hour later, the door opened silently.Ainsley stood at the door, surprised to see that Eloise had fallen asleep on the sofa. He walked over to the sofa and stared at the woman in front of him for a long time.It seemed that the temperature in the office was relatively low. Eloise, who was on the sofa, wasn’t sleeping soundly and slowly curled up.He took off his jacket and covered her with it. As he approached Eloise, he heard her murmur.“Mica…”He stopped, a chill in his eyes.It turned out she was still

    Ainsley stood up and walked over to Eloise. He raised his hand, looked at his watch, and said, “Come on, it’s time for lunch. Let’s go upstairs to eat.”Eloise thought she might have to endure the torture of being stared at by the crowd this morning, so she didn't want to leave the office.She lowered her head and said softly, “I'm not hungry.”Ainsley raised his eyebrows and said, “I’m hungry.”“I don’t want to eat. I don’t feel well, and I have no appetite. I won’t have lunch,” Eloise said again.Ainsley knew it was an excuse. He said calmly, “You’re not feeling well? It’s okay, I’ll take you to the Litha Night Walker Pack werewolf hospital.”Then he pulled out his phone and called. “Eric, are you at the werewolf hospital now?”Eloise, who was on the sofa, suddenly reached out and pulled at his sleeve. There was a look of surprise in her eyes. She didn't expect the call to make her so anxious.Bewildered, she leaned forward. Ainsley quickly reached out with his other hand and pressed

    Moonlight Group was founded by the former Alpha of the Golden Moon Pack, but the actual operator was Eloise.On Eloise's 18th birthday, he himself signed the change of ownership rights. From then on, Eloise, an 18-year-old girl, became the CEO of Moonlight Group, an enormous company.With Eloise in charge, the profit generated by Moonlight Group could cover the Golden Moon Pack's expenses for half a year.When the former Alpha of the Golden Moon Pack, Eloise's grandfather, was still alive, he especially favored Eloise. Even Richard, his grandson, could not compare to her.Eloise had been raised by the former Alpha since she was a child, while Richard received no such treatment. That was why, back then, Eloise was known as the confident and flashy Miss Anthony.In most packs, the marriages of she-wolves were not usually valued, including the daughters of Alphas. The best thing that could happen to an Alpha's daughter was to become the Luna of another Alpha, which was beneficial for the

    Time passed slowly.Eloise glanced at her wristwatch again, her brows knitting in frustration. The ticking felt like it echoed louder in the room than it had any right to, like each second was dragging its feet, deliberately mocking her patience. She shifted slightly in her seat, the silence becoming more stifling by the minute. Ainsley sat across from her, completely still, his small eyes trained on her face with an eerie calmness.The shrill ring of her phone startled her.Her body tensed instinctively. She snatched the phone from the table, her thumb sliding across the screen to answer.“Are you here yet?” she asked sharply.From the other end, Eric’s voice came hurried, uneven, and heavy with movement. He was clearly in motion. “I can’t come,” he said, no greeting, just urgency. “I’ll leave Ainsley with you for now.”Eloise shot upright. “Wait a minute,” she snapped. “Leave him with me for now? Isn’t Hank there?”She heard the sigh in Eric’s throat before he spoke. “Hank isn’t fre

    Stepping aside, Eloise said in a formal tone, “Let me introduce you. This is Jack Ray, the representative of our partner.”Mandy, blinking in confusion, stepped forward and extended her hand politely. "Hello….."“Mandy, I’ll follow the project this time,” Eloise cut in swiftly, not allowing her to finish.Mandy froze, utterly bewildered.Eloise leaned close and whispered in her ear, “I’ll explain after we get back.”Jack personally walked them all the way to the car, his gaze never leaving Eloise until she disappeared from his sight.Inside the car, Eloise slumped back against the seat.“Have you met Jack before?” Mandy asked curiously as they neared the Moonlight Garden. “I thought I was going to be in charge of the project?”Eloise forced a smile. “Don't misunderstand. There are certain things about this project I need to handle personally. You've been working so hard, Mandy. You deserve a break.”Mandy still looked unsure. “Okay… but rest well after this problem is solved, okay?”A

    The secretary suddenly stood up, her voice hurried and apologetic. “I’m sorry, Mandy." Our president said he wanted to meet with Ms. Anthony alone to seek cooperation this time.”Eloise, Mandy, and the other Anthony Group representatives exchanged confused glances, uncertainty flickering between them. What a strange request! Suspicion brewed silently in the air.Mandy parted her lips to protest, but Eloise reached out, stopping her with a firm hand. “Take the others out of the conference room,” she instructed quietly, her voice calm but commanding.“But…” Mandy’s brows furrowed in deep worry. She didn’t want to leave Eloise alone.Eloise looked at her steadily, her gaze unwavering, burning with determination. “Mandy, you know how important this cooperation is to me.”It wasn’t just important to her; it was crucial to the future of the Anthony Group. It was everything.Mandy hesitated a moment longer, then finally nodded. “Let’s go,” she said, her voice reluctant. She signaled the othe

  • Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection    Anthony Group’s Embezzlement.

    Ainsley was in a pitiful state; his clothes soaked through, his shoes worn out beyond recognition. He must have been searching for her for a long, long time, wandering alone through the rain.“Get in the car,” Eloise said urgently, her voice cracking as she took his trembling hand.Leading him carefully, she guided him back to the car, shielding him as best she could from the relentless rain.She pulled open the back seat door and gestured for him to climb in. But Ainsley stubbornly shook his head, water flying from his wet hair.“No,” he said firmly.“Why?” Eloise asked, frowning deeply, confused by his sudden refusal.“I don’t want to sit in the back seat, I want to sit there.” He pointed insistently at the passenger seat beside her.Eloise blinked, momentarily stunned. She didn’t quite understand what difference it made, but for Ainsley, it clearly meant everything.“I want to sit next to you,” he said seriously, his eyes locked onto hers, filled with an intensity that surprised h

    “No reward?” Ainsley’s mouth trembled, and he looked like he might burst into tears at any second.Eloise bit her lip hard. “Of course, you get a reward. Like I said, you did great.” She reached out and ruffled his hair. The next moment, she froze as Ainsley, clearly overjoyed, rested his head contentedly on her shoulder.Just then, Eric came up behind them, his voice low. “Everything’s ready, we can send it now.”No one spoke. The tension in the air was almost unbearable as they quietly got into the car. As the vehicle rolled down the dark road, Eloise stole a glance at Ainsley, who had already fallen asleep beside her.He used to occupy most of her life — in every memory, every thought. Now, the air inside the car felt stifling. Eloise turned her head sharply to the window, blinking hard. He couldn’t remember anything.All the entanglements they once shared ; love, hate and pain, now belonged to her alone.The car headed farther into the remote outskirts, taking a dark road lined wi

    Eric hesitated, concern flickering across his face, but finally he nodded and stepped out, shutting the door behind him with a soft thud. Silence swallowed the room. Eloise stood motionless for a long, long time. The steady beeping of machines was the only sound, each one a harsh reminder of how fragile life was.Finally, she moved. Slow, heavy steps carried her to Ainsley’s bedside. She reached out with a trembling hand but stopped an inch from touching him.Instead, she sank into the chair beside him, folding her hands tightly in her lap to hide how badly they shook. She didn’t cry. She didn’t scream. She just sat there, hour after hour, her eyes never leaving his broken body.Five days and nights blurred into each other.Every time Eric or Jacob tried to pull her away, she stayed rooted there.“Won’t it hurt her if she doesn’t cry?” Eric asked once, whispering in a low voice, watching her through the window.“I’ve been through worse,” Eloise heard it she croaked, her voice raw and

    “I want shoes to match,” she said softly.“Yes, ma’am. Right away,” the shop assistant said, hurrying off.Mandy walked closer and touched Eloise’s arm gently. “Eloise... are you sure you’re ready for this?”Eloise turned her eyes toward her. There was no hesitation in them. Only a fierce, burning determination.“I have to be,” she said, her voice almost breaking. “I don’t have a choice.”Mandy’s throat tightened. She wanted to hug her, to pull her back, to stop her from going, but she knew she couldn’t.Just then, Eloise’s phone buzzed.Mandy immediately grabbed it from the counter and handed it to her. “It’s Jacob,” she said quietly.Eloise answered on the second ring. “I’m ready.”“Good,” Jacob’s voice came crisply through the speaker. “A car is waiting for you outside. Your passport and visa are in the car. You’ll be taken directly to a private jet. You need to leave within the next twenty minutes.”“Understood,” Eloise said without hesitation.“And Miss Anthony... don’t be late,”

  • Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection    Magnificent yet tragic!

    Mandy, who was driving, opened her mouth, only to realize she couldn't find a word to comfort Eloise. She knew Eloise too well, so she didn't feel the need for words to comfort her.The Anthony Group had many problems. Perhaps they had been overlooked, or perhaps Gary didn't think they were serious. Mandy was a little worried about Eloise, who was in the backseat. When Eloise was busy, she worked almost suicidly. Mandy thought she was supposed to hate Ainsley. After all, he was the one slowly forcing an extroverted woman into a corner. In all of Metrocity, Ainsley was the only person who could corner Eloise. But now, Mandy felt grateful to Ainsley. At least he would come on time to pick Eloise up for lunch and dinner, or Eloise would be too busy to eat.Mandy accompanied Eloise to work for several days, and Ainsley did not appear during this time.Eloise knew he was on a business trip.It wasn't the first time Ainsley had been on a business trip. Before, he'd call her no matter where

    "Ainsley WIlliams! Damn you! "You promised me!” Eloise’s eyes blazed red with fury, veins visible on her temples as her body shook violently.Her scream echoed so loudly throughout the room that the light on the ceiling trembled from the force of her rage. She kicked at the bed frame, sending it crashing against the wall with a loud bang. The curtains flapped wildly in the air from the force of her movements, as if they too were disturbed by the storm erupting within her.The pain that flashed through Ainsley's eyes nearly froze him in place. His breath caught, but he focused hard on what he was doing, refusing to waver, even though guilt was clawing through his chest.Then her voice ripped through the room, raw and shattering, “Ainsley! I hate you!”Ainsley's eyes were filled with unbearable pain, the kind that didn’t show in blood but hurt worse than any wound. He clenched his jaw and abruptly lowered his head. Without a word, he pressed his lips to the scar on the back of her waist
