“Nick, what are you doing?” I instinctively stepped back.
He took a long stride forward, crowding into my space.
I felt a chill against my back—I’d hit the wall. There was nowhere left to retreat.
Nick planted his arms on either side of me, boxing me in, his thin lips tightening. His voice dropped to an icy whisper:
“Wendy, you’re the mate the Moon Goddess chose for me. And now, you dare go on a date with another man right in front of me?”
His cold aura seemed to freeze the air in the restaurant.
Meeting his stormy eyes, I shot back fearlessly, “And what, you get to spend a beautiful night with Rina, but I can’t have dinner with Dane?”
The memory of that phone call last night, the smugness in Rina’s voice—it made my chest tighten.
Nick blinked, momentarily stunned. “Yo

(Wendy’s POV)Daphne was now surrounded by pointing fingers and flashing cameras, reporters crowding her with questions:“Miss Reed, why did you plagiarize? How do you feel now that the original creator has exposed you in front of everyone?”Her face was stormy. “Sorry, I’m not giving interviews!” she snapped, shoving reporters aside as she tried to leave.But just then, a sharp, commanding voice rang out—“Stop!”I turned toward the sound. On the stage, the man who held everyone’s attention had suddenly stood up, striding forward with calm, unshakable steps.Nick.His cold, razor-sharp gaze locked on Daphne. “Miss Reed,” he said, his tone cutting through the hall, “after smearing Brown Pack out of thin air, do you really think you can just walk away?”The sheer dominance radiating from him made Daphne flinch and take a step back. “

(Wendy’s POV)Two o’clock in the afternoon.The press conference for Roses in the Moonlight began right on time.It was held in the luxurious conference hall on the eighteenth floor of the company building.I gave the venue one last check—everything was perfectly in place.I glanced down at my watch. Ten minutes to go.At two sharp, the press conference would officially begin.Today’s attendees were all people of prominence—not just our new star ambassador, Daisy, and rising sports talent Dane, but also several heavyweights from the jewelry world. Even Nick had shown up in person.That alone spoke volumes about how much importance the Brown Pack attached to this launch.In the zone, reporters scrambled for the best positions, their faces full of anticipation, eager not to miss a single scoop.At exactly two o’clock, the conference kicked off.With every gaze in the room f

(Wendy’s POV)I nodded and dropped the subject.After finishing the warm dinner Nick had brought me, I wanted to keep working, but Nick insisted on taking me home.“You’re not in good health. Go back early and rest.” His tone carried that Alpha firmness—brooking no argument.Even though an Alpha’s tone had no real effect on me, a White Wolf…Still—If I hadn’t left, neither would Nick.And with him sitting there beside me, I couldn’t focus on work anyway.So, I had no choice but to follow him out.We stepped into the elevator. With a soft ding, the doors slid shut.I reached out to press “-1,” but suddenly the light above us crackled, fizzed twice, and went out completely, plunging the elevator into pitch darkness.“Ah!” I couldn’t help but let out a sharp scream.I was afraid of the dark—always having been.An irrational phobia, one that clawed up from my bones the moment the lights died. Even Lucy, the wolf inside me, trembled in fear.I crouched down, fragments of memories flashing

(Wendy’s POV)“I don’t know if the company will be in trouble, but I’m certain you might be,” I sneered, meeting Bena’s self-righteous glare head-on.Bena froze. “Me? Why would I be in trouble?”“As the head of the design department, you can’t even tell which work is original and which is a copy. Don’t you find that shameful?” I replied coolly.Her expression darkened, her anger bubbling to the surface. “What do you mean by that?”“Exactly what I said.” My tone was calm, my smile steady.“Don’t twist things! The fact is you plagiarized!” Bena raised her voice, clearly trying to pin me to the wall in front of everyone.Up until now, very few people have known about Moonlight Rose design. But with her shouting, the entire secretary department had overheard.Suspicious gazes darted toward me, questioning. After all, Daphne was world-renowned, while I was just a newcomer, a secretary who had only been here a short while. And worse, I came from some remote tribal region—how could I possibl

(Wendy’s POV)A sudden heaviness settled in my chest.My wolf, Lucy, murmured softly inside me: “So everything Nick has done for you… has always had a reason.”At last, I understood. Why did Nick often act so ambiguously toward me, why did he shield me with his own body, why did he go to such lengths to find evidence when Mary framed me.Even just now—why he said: “Maybe we should try and see where this goes?”It was all because I looked like Candy.Realization hit hard. I drew in a long breath, fixed my gaze on the man beside me, and spoke coldly:“Nick, listen carefully. I am me—unique, one of a kind in this world! I am not Candy, not anyone’s stand-in.My future mate must love me wholeheartedly, with no one else in his heart. Not because I remind him of another woman.“So, Nick, between us—it’s impossible.”After those words, I grabbed the thin blanket from the bed and walked straight to the couch, lying down with finality.The night stretched endlessly.I tossed and turned, slept

(Wendy’s POV)So much steak and venison…What exactly is Mr. Johnson trying to do?Just as I was wondering, Mr. Johnson pushed a large plate of venison toward Nick, smiling kindly as he urged, “Nick, have some more of this. It’s good for your health.”Looking at the mountain of venison piled in front of him, Nick’s lips twitched.“And this—steak. It’s excellent, too.” Before Nick could refuse, Mr. Johnson had the servants bring over another platter of medium-rare steak and set it right in front of him.I couldn’t help but chuckle softly, lowering my voice to tease him. “Nick, is there something wrong with your body? Don’t tell me the Moon Goddess hasn’t blessed you?”Nick’s face darkened. He let out a cold snort before forcing a sharp smile through gritted teeth. “Wendy, why don’t you try and find out?”After dinner, Mr. Johnson practically herded Nick and me into his room.“I’ll just stay in the guest room,” I muttered, rubbing my temples.Mr. Johnson gave me a disapproving look. “Th
