Se connecterWasn't he just trying to make her insist he stay?
"Forget it, sit down and eat. It's like I'm bullying you," she muttered.
Colin moved closer. "Miss Taylor, are you inviting me?"
He glanced at his watch. "During my working hours, I'm not allowed to eat with clients, but if a client requests it, I can provide additional services."
"What additional services? Dishwashing?"
"A deep kiss."
"Eh?" Eranthe gave him a deadpan smile. "You're fired."
"My
A dark-red spiritual prison condensed in the void, carrying the immense weight of tribal authority as it crashed onto Colin’s shoulders.This had originally been a purge that could have been settled through absolute force and complete extermination.But as Colin looked at the increasingly sinister Blood Moon hanging above the hall, the only thing that appeared in his mind was Eranthe’s terrified and despairing expression amid the ruins of the old experimental building.If he resisted here, the secret of the supernatural races would trigger a full-scale war in Assyria City—a slaughter directed against ordinary humans.And fragile Eranthe would be one of those ordinary people torn to pieces.“Ugh...”A heavy, suppressed groan escaped Colin’s throat.He did not resist.He allowed that terrifying force of impeachment to strip away the Alpha leadership bond within him.The agony of having his bloodline forcibly torn away made his legs tremble violently.One knee crashed heavily onto the ha
“Barrister Gabriel Mitchell called ten minutes ago. The Security Bureau has issued a Level-One Capture Order. Special police are authorized to deploy heavy high-frequency silver ammunition and carry out... immediate physical elimination... should they encounter any shapeshifting resistance.”“So old Samuel thinks that by finding a few vampires as backers and releasing this childish little video, he can take away my position as Alpha leader?”Colin turned around.A cold, mocking smile curved across his thin lips.Before he could finish speaking—Bang!The office’s heavy fireproof and blast-resistant door was blown apart by a high-frequency sonic breaching device.Smoke billowed through the room.A squad of special police officers dressed in black heavy riot armor stormed in with lightning speed, carrying high-frequency sonic shields and large-caliber silver-ammunition rifles.Red laser targeting beams formed a dense web of death, instantly locking onto Colin’s chest and forehead.“Coli
Eranthe looked at his face, so serious it looked like he was attending a trillion-dollar international conference—and something soft inside her completely collapsed.She walked over and wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, resting her face against the back of his perfectly pressed bespoke shirt.“Rodriguez, sweetheart, didn’t anyone teach you that you’re supposed to turn on the extractor fan when cooking?”Colin paused mid-flip. The tips of his ears turned faintly red.“Talk too much. Go wait outside,” he said coldly.At night, after showering, Eranthe sat cross-legged by the coffee table, taking notes for an online course.After Colin finished washing up, he came out holding a hairdryer. He naturally sat down behind her and lifted her onto his lap with one arm.“Vmmm—”Warm air flowed through her hair.His fingers moved slowly and gently through her long strands.He even softened his breathing, every movement unbelievably careful, as if afraid of pulling a single strand of
He lifted her up with extreme force yet extreme care, and carried her out of the restroom.They took a private elevator to the top floor.It was his private suite in the Obsidian Club.The room was unlit, with only the neon glow of Assyria City outside the floor-to-ceiling windows slanting in.Colin threw her onto the center of the luxurious black velvet bed.Before Eranthe could even sit up, his heavy, mountain-like body pressed down on her. His scorching breath engulfed her completely.“Woman… damn it… I’ve missed you so much.”Colin cursed in a low voice. It was unclear whether he was cursing fate itself, or the human woman in his arms who had completely driven him out of control.He violently grabbed the minimalist black satin dress she was wearing and pulled the side zipper down in one sharp motion.With a tearing sound, the expensive fabric and even the straps of her undergarments were stripped away by his long fingers.Eranthe’s seaweed-like long curls spread wildly across the
“During the execution of the project, all closed-door meetings concerning contracts, progress, or funding chains must be attended personally by Miss Eranthe. ”“Should the project leader be replaced midway, or should Miss Taylor leave her position for any reason, Rodriguez Capital will withdraw its investment indefinitely and reserve the right to pursue liquidated damages from Ashly Group amounting to ten times the contractual penalty.”With a loud uproar, the entire conference room exploded into commotion.The directors immediately began whispering among themselves.Countless complicated gazes—filled with shock, jealousy, suspicion, and even flattery—came crashing down upon Eranthe.Acacia, seated beside her, pinched her thigh under the conference table, so excited she nearly screamed on the spot.Eranthe merely narrowed her cool, rain-mist-like eyes slightly.Looking at the addendum, she tapped her fingers lightly against the smooth paper and calmly considered the shameless tactics
He was not hunting her.In the middle of the night, Eranthe wrote in her notebook: “Restraint—he is restraining himself.”Recalling that night on the sofa, his confession about his identity and background…From a rational standpoint, Eranthe of course understood the origin of all of Colin’s obsession.His father Austin had used brutality and absolute power to imprison his human mother, Mrs. Zerlinda, in the old Rodriguez estate. His mother, overwhelmed by terror, fled in despair through a blood-soaked scene where the old Wolf King had lost control and committed violence.Colin inherited the Alpha’s most supreme bloodline and killing instincts, yet his inner world had remained frozen forever in that rainy night at fifteen, when he witnessed his mother’s departure.He feared marriage, rejected commitment, and even imposed on himself a self-binding rule of “only sex, no love”—not because he was carefree or promiscuous.He was merely a prisoner trapped by the shadow of his family of origi
William understood that these people were here to place orders, so they must be busy.He didn't insist and just sent Eranthe off, whispering, "We can't have a meal together this time. Don't refuse the next invitation; consider it giving me face."At this point, Eranthe couldn't reject again. "Alright,
After a round of adjustments, she finally returned to bed but struggled to find sleep. It wasn't until around 3 AM that Eranthe, in a drowsy state, fell into slumber.The next morning, she nearly overslept.As she approached the company's entrance, she accidentally collided with someone, causing her c
Eranthe added Jayden as a friend, and then they said their goodbyes.When Susan and Jayden were heading home, Susan sighed, "Eranthe is such a good kid. If only she had parents, she wouldn't have to work so hard."Jayden shrugged, "What's wrong with not having parents? She's doing well now.""You don't
"The one who's wrong is you. Just because your voice is louder, does that make everything someone else's fault? "Scarlett was unable to retort under Eranthe's questioning, losing face again.She gritted her teeth and said, "You just refuse to admit your improper behavior. You clearly have a relations
