Ella’s POVI came out of the bathroom, and Kevin was already gone. I breathed a sigh of relief, my gaze scanning the floor, which had been cleaned, and the bed, now adorned with new sheets. My tattered work clothes were neatly placed on the sofa. I sniffed the air, still filled with the scent of sex from the night before.Kevin was surprisingly a gentleman, even after a one-night stand.Lucy bounced out, wagging her tail happily. I could sense that after the release of last night's desires, she had become more energetic. As a youthful she-wolf, she should be eager for a mate.I used a towel to dry my damp blonde hair, walked to the dressing table, and saw my refined face in the mirror. I lifted the wet hair on my neck to wipe it off and discovered marks on my skin. I was stunned.In a panic, I approached the mirror, fingers caressing the red marks. It was then that I realized the scent on me wasn't just from Kevin's lovemaking; he had marked me during my heat!Oh, my goodness, Ella, w
Kevin's POVThese past two days, I haven't seen Ella at all. Camila mentioned she goes up the mountain to gather herbs at 5:30 in the morning and returns at midnight. I didn't say anything; I knew she was avoiding me. Ever since I exposed Ella's true identity, our relationship has been strained.A Cold War can't last too long. I need to change this situation quickly. On the third night, I waited for Ella in the yard, but she didn't show up. Her room's window was dark, indicating she hadn't returned that night. I grew anxious and went to knock on her door."Kevin, has Ella gone missing again?" Eric asked.Me: She probably hasn't. Once she calms down a bit, she'll be willing to listen to my explanation.Eric: When will that be? I hate waiting, waiting is too long!Eric paced impatiently in my mind, furrowing my brow.Me: I hate waiting too, but we need to give her some space. She probably can't accept being exposed like that.Eric: What do we do then? The deed is done. Kevin, I have to
Ella‘s POVI curled up, hugging myself. Although I didn't want to admit it, deep down, I missed Kevin. But I was afraid of repeating the mistakes of five years ago, afraid of being hurt again. So, in order not to be an Omega waiting to be bullied and abandoned, I had to move forward.Cheer up, my little wolf. You're not a worthless mute Omega; you will become a great female warrior.I remembered my mother's encouragement, and my eyes turned red instantly. If she were still alive, she would surely support my decision.The next morning dawned bright as I stepped out into the estate. The housekeeper greeted me with a warm smile, handing me a set of dresses neatly folded."These are for you, my dear. As the new physician, it's time you dress the part. Alpha Oscar likes his staff to be presentable," she said with a kind twinkle in her eyes.I nodded appreciatively, holding the dresses close.The fabric felt luxurious, and I couldn't help but wonder how different my life had become in such
Ella’s POV After Clara left, I returned to my workstation, I felt very nervous l as I surrounded myself with the unfamiliar medical equipment. As a pharmacist dedicated to herbal remedies, this was a drastic departure from my usual realm of natural healing. Wow, Ella, these devices look advanced and are expensive. Lucy said. I nodded. Look, that Mortar and Pestle can actually automatically grind herbs, much more convenient than when you used to grind herbs with stones. Oh, be careful not to touch it, otherwise, if it breaks, we can't afford to compensate with our salary. Lucy reminded, with exaggerated tone. I laughed: Lucy, you really look like a country bumpkin now, haha. Come on, Ella, don't laugh at me. I just don't want to hear Camila's nagging. You know, she's a bit obsessed with money. Me: Okay, Okay, I see. I spent hours pouring over thick manuals, my brow furrowed in concentration. The terminology was alien, and I found myself longing for the comforting familiarity
Ella’s POV I turned around and saw a tall manf wearing a white shirt. Our eyes met, and he smiled. "Anna, it's really you. I heard you took a position here." I was stunned. Henry Nelson, the hybrid son of Alpha Oscar, Why was he here so late? And did he just see me drop blood for the spider? Henry's demeanor was completely different from his brother Luke's arrogant and domineering attitude. He was very refined, always dressed in well-tailored shirts, with a warm and inviting smile. His eyes showed sincere kindness. He had amber-colored eyes, well-groomed hair, and despite his noble status, he was approachable and beloved by the Blue River Pack. That's also why Luke hated him and liked to tease him. "Henry, what are you doing here?" I pocketed the glass bottle and stood up from the chair. "Anna, you can speak now!" "Uh, yes, that happened not long ago." "Awesome." Henry walked towards me with excitement, then stopped, speaking sincerely, "Anna, I never imagined your voice c
Ella’s POVComing to the laboratory for a week, I have finished reading all the equipment manuals, and with the help of Lily, Holly, and Sophie, I have completed the operations, although I am not very skilled yet."Anna, your learning ability is really strong. You caught on in just a week, you know? I started studying medicine at the age of 17 and took three years to understand those complex medical theories and equipment operations. Now I completely believe you must have topped the entrance exam," Holly said with a hearty sip of her drink, teasingly.Holly's family opens pubs, and her passion for drinking rivals that of Camila. I guess if they were to meet, they could definitely become drinking buddies."Thank you, Holly. Actually, I've been studying medicine since I was 7," I replied, shyly scratching my head."But this is your first time in this field, right? I guess you've been more into herbal medicine, and as medicine has developed with the community, pharmacists who are skilled
Ella’s POV "This is terrifying. Who could have used such a malicious method to kill our guards?" Holly asked. "Could it be the werewolves from the Black Moon clan?" Sophie added, her voice trembling. "Girls, detecting isn't our job. As physicians, our duty is to use our expertise to determine the cause of death of the guards, to prevent new werewolves from falling victim to the same fate," Dr. Helena said sternly. "After the examination just now, do you have any other findings?" "Well... only the DNA of 5 missing werewolves was detected on that batch of ashes, and nothing else was found. Under the microscope, the bodies of the werewolves seemed to have been melted by something," Lily said. "So, perhaps other missing werewolves might still be alive?" Holly asked. "Not necessarily. The fact that the perpetrator effortlessly abducted our guards from our heavily guarded and concealed forest, leaving no trace, indicates a meticulously planned operation," Beta Aaron interjected, then
Ella's POV "Stop, stop now, everyone, don't go any deeper into the forest!" I shouted desperately, hoping it wasn't too late. Dr. Helena and Holly halted, looking at me with confusion, but Ada and the other soldiers seemed oblivious, continuing forward, and the ringing grew louder. "Dr. Helena, Holly, quickly stop them, don't go any further! Can't you hear the bells? It's the bewitching sound of the illusion grass!" "What is illusion grass?" Holly asked. I didn't have time to answer her. I knocked out the two soldiers closest to me; their vacant eyes clearly showed they had lost their senses. "Oh my, Anna, what are you doing? Are you out of your mind?" I was frantic. "I'm not joking. They've lost consciousness. Knock them out now, or we'll all die here!" Dr. Helena gave me a deep look and swiftly knocked out the remaining wolf soldiers. Holly looked at Dr. Helena in astonishment, then gritted her teeth at me. "Anna, you better be right about this, or I won't spare you." She
