After Bruce finished speaking, the eyes of everyone around him widened.The Duncan family has always enjoyed privileges in the pack. Before Mia returned to the pack, Elena regarded herself as the future Luna on many occasions. Those who didn't know the specific situation had seriously believed that the Duncan family would soon strengthen their ties with Alpha's family through marriage.After all, every core member of the Duncan family can see the alpha at any time. Who dares to say that the news they said about alpha is false?But now, the alpha tells Elena Duncan, the favorite youngest daughter of the Duncan family, that she has a problem with the way she addresses herself and Mia. This is telling everyone that the Duncan family, at least Elena, is not as important as they show.The crowd began to whisper again."If you insist, alpha." Elena emphasized the word "alpha", "But I thought we were friends. After all, we grew up together."Mia must admit that Bruce's appearance made this c
There is no one at "home".This is Bruce's habit. He only requires cleaning staff to come to the house once a week for cleaning, and a life assistant to deliver various items to the house in a timely manner according to his requirements, including food and ingredients. No other personnel are required.Therefore, the house is always quiet. It is an independent space that belongs entirely to the owner.In the past, when Mia was the real hostess here, she would often cook for herself and do some simply cleaning.She now uses half of the third floor of the house. She and Bruce are affectionate and sweet to the outside world, and behind closed doors, they are hosts and guests who have a cooperative relationship.Bruce took off his shoes, took off his suit jacket, and held it in his hands.Mia took off her shoes and followed in, and found several large cardboard boxes on the coffee table in the living room, and Bruce was already unpacking the boxes. His custom-made suit was thrown carelessl
For the first time, Mia feels the home she has lived in since she was a child was so big. Too big.Her right leg is injured. The wound is a little above the knee. Running brushes her skirt against the wound over and over, the pain trembles her knees. But she can’t stop. Two people are after her, aiming for her life. She has no spare mind for anything but fleeing, so she hlods the hem of the skirt as much as she can with her one free hand.She has her phone in her other hand. The thing that she is depending her life on -- she is calling him. Only HE can save her. After the call ends on itself she would just dial it again, praying he would pick up.He never did.She just witnessed her father and mother murdered burtally, and all she could count on is her husband, her Alpha, her everything that’s left.But he is not answering his phone.Today was meant to be a casule, cozy family night. She came home for supper. Her brother and sister-in-law put the noisy child to bed when she stayed in
Listening to Elena’s vicious words, Mia is stunned for a moment.Does she really hate me so much? But why? Actually, since when?!Mia has always known that compared to Bruce’s friends and supporters, she is on the weak and ordinary side. Her family is not rich rich, and she doesn’t have any eye-catching talent either.She became Luna only because, she is Bruce’s true mate. No other reason.Mia knew Elena had a crush on Bruce, strong enough to drool after the Luna’s title. She just didn’t expect Elena to be obsessive enough to commit crimes for it. After all, Mia has always maintained a good terms with Elena. Or so she thought.But Elena just pulled a plain massacre! Wiping out her entire family! How could she?!Has she lost it?The rain washes over Mia’s face, mixed with tears. Soaking wet, Mia looks pale and fragile.Daisy glares at Elena fiercely. Her mild wolf, is now arching her back high with a threatenign grunt rolling in her throat: “That’s right, she is crazy! She wants to be
6:40 in the evening, Creekview Manor, the charity dinner held by Kade Pharma of Pack Deimos is starting in 20 minutes.The core executives of the pack gathered together, with many important people of the city there supporting the event. The manor is brightly lit, the dazzling light able to be seen miles away. The guests are all glamorous, neatly dressed in their luxurious custom-made and glimmering jewelry, looking noble.Media are squatting at the entrance, some wandering around the banquet with their cameras flashing nonstop, capturing the glamorous faces with their lens, phones on gimbals or simply in hands.The host of the dinner party though, Bruce Kade, has not yet appeared. The guests gather together in twos and threes, chatting heatedly.Mia has an old mobile phone on a gimbals. With a fake media ID, she has been able to sneak into the party without rising suspicion."Remember, you are hired by Mrs. Adina as her private photographer. That’s her thing, everyone knows it. Except
Daisy tries to dash over to him the moment she saw him. Her paws stamping anxiously as she urges Mia: “Go to him! To him!”“Stop the barking!” Mia has to roar back at her reckless wolf. Did Daisy not learn anything from that night a year ago?She can’t go to him. She can’t let him see them. To him, she is dead. But there is little Mia is able to do besides yelling at Daisy. She herself is also freezing where they are. Her knees shivering as are her hands. It takes all her strength to just remain standing.Scanning the room, Bruce bows lightly before he nods a little: “Welcome, everyone, to today’s celebration. I know you are all excited about our latest results, which has been announced through all channels, so I won’t bore you with the details here.”Saying so, he raises a hand and leads everyone’s eyes to a man standing on the left of the stairs: “Thanks to Ivan Osborn and his research team, who managed this great accomplishment with decent time and budget.”Applause raises as he co
Bruce stands in that empty corner, confused at his excited wolf: “There is nothing here.”“Yes, there is!” Aspen insists, lowering his head and sniffs around. He sniffs from left to right and up and down, occasionally stops and thinks before he continue.Finally when he found the wall Mia leaned against he jumps up: “Here! Right here! She came back! She was here!”“She is?” Bruce mumbles, couldn’t believe what he just heard.Staring at the gray-green wallpapered corner for a very long moment, Bruce then slowly stretches out a hand, putting his slightly trembling fingers over it.“Are you sure?” Bruce tries to feel the wall. He is dreadful to“Definitely! A hundred percent sure!” Aspen pushes his nose close to sniff again, taking in the scent carefully, “It’s her! She was right here not too long ago!”Thank the moon goddess! She is still alive. There were so many sleepless nights where he struggles in bed, haunted by the possibility that she might have died already. Bruce clenches his
Paused, Clint Wood is obviously surprised by Mia’s presence. Face to face with him, Mia is not sure whether to excite or panic. Good thing is she found the target, but she hasn’t come out of the shock of seeing Bruce, and right now she is caught off guard, too. But there is no time to hesitate. Taking a deep breath, she charges up with a swift move, her stun gun pressed on his waist as she threats in a low voice: “Don’t move. I just want to ask a few questions. Play along or it would end badly for you.” The stun gun is in a gun’s shape. Wood only felt a hard metal pressed on his waist and in shock he turns to look. “I said don’t move!” Mia hisses at him with a shove on his shoulder. Being crafty for a living, Wood instantly corporates with his hands up in the air: “Okay, I won’t move. Anything you want, we can talk about it.” Mia is the more nervous one. Thin sweat breaks out in her palm, she has to clench the stun gun so hard her joints hurt. Taking another deep breath, Mia hi
