He carried me all the way to the outside of the hall.A black Bentley was parked outside, adorned with the silver-gray royal emblem. A Beta respectfully opened the car door for us.Prince Louis carried me into the car. He held me tightly in his embrace. My head was forced to rest on his shoulder, and my cheek was pressed against the smooth and exquisite white shirt.I could hear his heartbeat clearly, like a steady and powerful drumbeat, knocking against my eardrums, merging with the sound of my own heartbeat. Remembering the gazes of the werewolves watching us as we left earlier, I could only bite my lip and bury my flushed cheeks in the man's embrace.It all happened too quickly.It was only when the car door closed, and the narrow and dim space inside the car made my nerves tense up again.I cleared my throat, straightened up, and was about to speak, but the man bent down and held my ankle, removing the remaining high-heeled shoe.The words I wanted to say instantly got stuck in my
This is a public place!Before he could make his next move, I hurried away from him and ran through the door."I think I'd like to have a visit first." I said quickly.I didn't look back at his expression, but I heard his laughter grow louder.This bad guy!……This villa is incredibly spacious, far beyond what I had imagined.It has seven bedrooms, three studies, two kitchens, and three living rooms, with each bedroom having its own ensuite bathroom. The villa spans three floors, and at the very top is a glass conservatory filled with roses and geraniums, accompanied by an outdoor terrace with a swimming pool."Looks like a great place to throw a party," I stood at the edge of the terrace, looking down and couldn't help but exclaim."Parties? I rarely attend parties," he stood half a step behind me and replied."Don't you ever bring your friends home for parties?" I looked at him, surprised. I had assumed that someone like him, a member of the royal family, would be living it up every
My dilated pupils reflected the picture of him leaning close to me. He chuckled lowly, pressing me against the door. He gripped my wrist and imprisoned my hands above my head, while his other hand held the back of my head, and he forcefully kissed me."No..."I tried desperately to evade this kiss, but he didn't give me a chance. He invaded recklessly between my lips and tongue, even depriving me of the freedom to breathe and think. I had to follow his rhythm to breathe, barely avoiding fainting.During the deep kiss, my brain gradually grew dizzy, and tears once again wet the corners of my eyes. The gentlemanly and courteous demeanor he had displayed earlier was torn apart by his own hands. Desire and a ferocious glint flickered in his blue eyes as his scorching breath sprayed against my skin, as if trying to burn me.This kiss lasted for a long time.It wasn't until my lips were tingling from his sucking that he finally released me.He held me tightly in his arms, nearly limp. While
I didn't leave the bedroom during the whole night.After finishing dinner, I went to bed early. I thought I would have trouble sleeping. But unexpectedly, I slept very well in the comfortable bed. When I opened my eyes again, it was exactly 9 o'clock in the morning.I had actually slept for a full twelve hours!Currently, I am still a student at university. It was Sunday today, so there were no classes. So I shamelessly laid in bed for a while before sluggishly changing clothes and getting up to freshen up.The feeling of exhaustion had completely disappeared. I stood by the window, feeling the refreshing morning breeze, took a deep breath, and felt a surplus of energy coursing through me.As I left the bedroom, I was surprised to find that the prince hadn't returned all night.What could have happened?I observed the butler's expression from the corner of my eye. He was the person in the villa whom I trusted most. But his expression remained as calm as ever, as if nothing had happene
It had only been a day. As I returned to that familiar place—forgive me for not wanting to call it "home"—I felt a sense of uneasiness.Everything that happened at the banquet yesterday felt like a dream to me.It all happened too quickly, and I hadn't fully awakened from the beautiful dream.Just a day ago, I thought I had everything—family, love, and a soon-to-be sweet family of my own. But now I have lost everything, and my heart was filled with indifference and burning fury for revenge.As I opened the car door, I stared coldly at the house not far away. My wolf was always by my side. I knew that no matter what happened next, she would stand with me.After a moment, I turned to the driver who had brought me here and said, "Thank you for bringing me here, sir. Please wait for me at the door for a while. I'll go in and pack my things. It shouldn't take long."The driver politely asked, "Miss, do you want me to accompany you inside? Alfred instructed me before he left to ensure your
"Somebody is about to get a beating!"Cathy deliberately said it loudly.Joe tugged at her sleeve, his expression nervous as he glanced at me. But seeing him defend me, Cathy's anger only intensified. She escalated her mockery in front of our father, hoping to further fuel the conflict between us: "So, Claire, where did you spend the night yesterday?"I stood still, not moving, and simply smirked as I retorted, "What's that got to do with you?""I'm just curious," Cathy raised her eyebrows provocatively, leaning against the wall with crossed arms, pretending to be concerned about me. Her gaze scrutinized the pearl-adorned white dress I was wearing. "After all, you're my sister. Besides, I remember this dress isn't yours, is it?"She feigned surprise, covering her mouth with her hand, and asked, "Oh my, Claire, did you spend the night at some wealthy billionaire's place? How did you convince him to buy you such an expensive dress? ... Are you okay?"Upon hearing her words, I thought I
I was startled by Joe's sudden action.As soon as I realized what he had done, my anger surged once again.My wolf immediately went into a defensive stance as I stared at him warily. "Let go! You have no right to stop me!""As a matter of fact, I do," Joe's expression turned grim, and at that moment, he seemed even scarier than my father. "Have you forgotten? I will be the Alpha of the pack after marrying Cathy. I have the authority to order you to stay here!"I couldn't help but roll my eyes at him."You, the bastard who uses women, have the audacity to say such things to me?" I mocked, disregarding Joe's livid face. I forcefully pulled my arm out of his grip. "Get lost. Disappear from my sight before my patience runs out, or else I'll have my lawyer serve you a subpoena right now!"After speaking, I sadly lowered my head and looked at the red mark left on my wrist.I must remember to disinfect and clean it properly when I get back."A lawyer?" Joe sneered. Clearly, he didn't believe
Louis's golden hair shimmered like flowing gold in the afternoon sunlight, his tall figure completely enveloping mine. Those eyes, bluer than the sky, stared at me without blinking. For some reason, I felt that his expression now seemed somewhat complicated.Facing Joe's attack, Louis didn't even bother to look up, instead using one hand to choke Joe's neck and effortlessly lift him up.Due to extreme fear and the pain of suffocation, Joe's legs thrashed in mid-air, his eyes bulging. He pleaded desperately with a dying voice, "Please... Your Highness... forgive me..."But Louis remained unmoved. He stared at me as if he hadn't heard Joe's pleas, his head bowed."Why didn't you call me?" he questioned.Moon goddess, forgive me for my disrespect towards the royal family. But his tone now, it really sounded a bit like a husband questioning his wife why she didn't come home at night....Damn it, why am I thinking like this?"I-I informed Alfred," I stammered in response, "I just came back
