In any case, Colin was so handsome and refined—she had no reason to be afraid of him, right?And she couldn’t keep rejecting his goodwill either, otherwise she would seem heartless and unreasonable.The night at the abandoned research facility campsite was met with a torrential downpour. Rain slammed against the temporary waterproof canopy, producing heavy, dull thunderous sounds.Even though it was already past eleven at night, Eranthe, as the administrative supervisor, was still wearing a black waterproof jacket, standing in the muddy center of the campsite to coordinate the lighting setup.In her hand was the signed emergency wiring diagram, already soaked through by rainwater.“The direction of the third row of spotlights is wrong! Shift it five degrees to the left—don’t
“Next weekend, Ashly Group and Rodriguez’s partners will hold a cross-border business camping party at an abandoned research facility in the suburbs. As an administrative manager, she will definitely arrive early to coordinate. That place is remote—and it’s also when the blood moon approaches, the weakest period for werewolf power.”There was a brief silence on the other end, followed by a low, rasping chuckle.“You want us to kill an ordinary human girl?”“Not just kill her. I want you to get her blood into Colin’s most frequently visited private club,” Zora said, her eyes glinting with bloodlust twisted by jealousy.“On the night of the blood moon, when the supreme Alpha smells the blood of his Luna, Colin will definitely go into full frenzy. When that happens, exposing his monstrous, bloodthirsty nature in front of human elites—there will be no need for you to act. Human security agencies and special forces will finish him off with silver bullets.”“And what do you want in return?”
Pressed against his burning chest, Eranthe slightly curled her toes but said nothing, only listening quietly.“I envy you,” Colin suddenly let out a self-mocking—or perhaps envious—chuckle.“Envy me?” Eranthe was confused.“Yes. You envy my wealth, you envy that I was born in Rome. But at least you grew up in a pure and loving environment. When you are wronged, you can call the police—you can have every bastard who hurts you arrested. I can’t.”His hand slowly stroked her smooth back, his tone growing deeper, carrying a bloody weight buried for over twenty years.“I’ll tell you a secret.”“Another secret?” Eranthe lifted her head from his chest, narrowing her eyes at him in confusion.Colin exhaled.“Our Rodriguez family are the proudest of all werewolves. My father, Austin, was an Alpha leader with absolute authority and control. My mother, Mrs. Zerlinda, was just an ordinary human beauty. Back then, my father used werewolf dominance to seize her and forced her to become his Luna.”E
“If he likes you, can you still say that so calmly?”Colin stood up, and the oppressive force of his height immediately bore down on her.“If he confessed to you, could you repeat the same heartless words you just said to me?”“I don’t deal in hypotheticals. But I do know that I’ve always been decisive in rejecting men I have no feelings for.” Eranthe looked directly into his eyes this time, no longer avoiding him, her attitude far more resolute than before.And it was precisely this firm, unwavering certainty that made Colin feel completely at a loss.“So you’re admitting it?”Step by step, Eranthe retreated until her back hit the office desk. The man’s arms caged her in. As long as he lowered his head slightly, he could kiss her.“Colin, can you speak like a normal human being? Which sentence of mine gave you that impression?”This man really had his own twisted logic.She had made it very clear—she was starting a new life, and there was no place for him in it, nor any version of Ja
But reason told him that if she didn’t like it, then he should restrain himself for now.But only for now.The more polite he appeared on the surface, the more depraved he was inside.And in front of Eranthe, he didn’t even bother to hide that depravity.What he had set his eyes on was his.And so he thought it—and said it.“Colin.” But before he could continue, Eranthe’s cold gaze had already fallen on him.At this moment, she no longer had the irritation from being followed earlier.She looked as if she had calmed down and was ready to have an open conversation.To be honest, Colin extremely disliked her like this. Every time she was like this, nothing good ever came of it.And he had been abstinent for nearly half a month.His patience was already running low.“Half of what you say, I only believe half. As for you saying you’re pursuing me, that’s just an excuse to stall things.”“The more I don’t agree, the more you can use every opportunity to shamelessly cling to me.”“All that
Surveillance cameras—if he wanted them to exist, they existed. If not, they were broken.Eranthe turned to stare at him. “Mr. Rodriguez, I thought we had an understanding.”“What understanding?” he replied. “I never said you weren’t allowed to talk to me in public. You can laugh and joke with Frank and the others so happily, smiling so sweetly—but when it comes to me, you won’t even give me a straight face, and you still expect me to be generous?”Colin said calmly, “I’m human, not a saint, and definitely not God.”The implication was clear: he had a temper, and he was never exactly a good-tempered person to begin with.Eranthe shifted slightly, but he didn’t let go. She said weakly, “Mr. Rodriguez, nice to see you again. Can you please let go now? I have work to do—I don’t have time to deal with this.”The elevator doors had already opened, but since no one got out, they closed again.Colin still didn’t move.“Colin!” she said sharply.“Mm.”“You saying my name like that… sounds just
"Let's have breakfast first," Colin said as the hotel staff wheeled in a breakfast cart and he placed the food on the table.Frowning, Eranthe looked at him. "I made myself clear last night. I won't change my mind."Colin nodded. "I've made my decision."Eranthe gave him a cool
Ignoring her previous words, he forcefully and dominantly lifted her up from the lounger."Colin! Let me go!" Eranthe was lifted up horizontally by him, looking at his stern eyes and feeling a wave of panic.Colin placed her on the bed, adjusted his collar, and didn't do anything to h
This realization eased Colin's deathly stare slightly."Mr. Rodriguez, Miss. Taylor has arrived at the hotel," one of the bodyguards reported.As an internal employee, Eranthe had no trouble checking in and went straight to her pre-booked room.This wasn't her first time at Davi
"She's downstairs drinking. She also asked me to pass on a message to Mr. Rodriguez to take away the things left at her house, or else she'll throw them away."Frank's expression darkened. This wasn't going according to plan. How did things escalate so quickly?Eranthe finished her dr
