There was the sound of the elevator opening when they arrived at the second floor. Selena hurried outside and tried to find a sink or something similar, even though her steps were getting heavier. In her drunken, she tried to stay sober by pinching herself to focus on finding a toilet because her stomach couldn't cooperate.
"Oh, my God," she murmured. Selena just realized that she had entered the wrong door; in front of her there was only a long hallway with red carpet, there seemed to be no sign of a toilet.
Selena narrowed her eyes when she saw two people standing at the end of the hallway. She wanted to walk up to them and ask them, but after only two meters of walking, her steps stopped beside an overhanging wall and a pot with a large plant.
She couldn't help but feel like vomiting. Selena tried to stay focused despite the difficulty; she wasn't sure where to go, so she went straight into the space between the wall and the pot. Perhaps because of her petite body, she can fit in easily and then squat there while holding her belly.
At the time of the incident, the two bodyguards who were at the door of Cedric's room didn't realize anything because, when they turned around, they didn't see anyone. Soon after, the club manager came out and said goodbye to them, and as he walked towards the elevator, he didn't notice a woman squatting behind a pot, waiting for the crucial moment.
Bastian exited the room just as the elevator doors closed. He quickly led the two bodyguards downstairs to check on his master's orders. Bastian grumbled at them about the master's order that should have arrived before Cedric McKinley got there and how it was better that they waited instead of the master.
They stopped near a large pot, but Bastian's phone rang, and the man continued his walk; no one noticed Selena's presence. When the elevator doors opened again, they got inside, and Selena began to stand up and come out of hiding.
Selena was relieved. After a while, her stomach felt better, she could focus a little more, and her head wasn't as dizzy as before.
"Haha, maybe they didn't come out because they were embarrassed," laughed Selena as she stroked her stomach. She continued on her way to find the toilet, knowing that she had to be on guard in case the nausea came back. Selena continued her search, but she couldn't find anything; there was nothing but a door at the end of the hallway.
Selena hesitated before opening the door. "Uh, the door's unlocked."
She peeked through the door and looked inside. Selena was shocked by what she saw. This was not a toilet usually, but rather a magnificent room.
"Oh my God, what is this place?" she said as she opened the door.
Selena was hesitant to enter at first because she suspected something was wrong before, but her curiosity was greater now. Selena was very interested in the luxurious decoration of that room, and she unknowingly went inside.
"Just for a minute," she murmured, wanting to merely glance around because it was her first time in such a marvelous room.
Selena made her way from the living area to the bathroom. "Is this a hotel room or a luxurious apartment? I had no idea there were such chambers at a club."
Selena continued to gaze around, impressed at all of the facilities available. She discovered a big bed in the center room, and when she sat down, it felt so comfortable that she subconsciously lay down for a while.
"Oh my," she said as she sprang to her feet, fearful that someone was about to enter. Her stomach, however, immediately ached and made her disoriented. The dizziness was so terrible this time that her eyesight was clouded, and her stomach hurt so terribly that she couldn't walk. She raced to the bathroom and vomited everything in her stomach, expecting to feel better afterwards. However, she was unaware that someone was peeking through a gap in the wall

A few minutes before Selena came in....
"Please, sir." The Club Manager opened the door to the room at the end of the hallway, the only room on this floor.
Cedric and the club manager walked in, followed by Bastian, while the two guards stayed outside. Bastian looked around the room and saw it was spacious than the last one.
This room also had three sections: the front room, the middle room, and the back room. Bastian felt lucky again that the manager could help him keep his salary intact with this replacement room, even though he could not rest easy because there was still one more thing to do, namely his master's order that had not yet arrived.
Cedric saw in the front room a wide couch and a home theater with a large screen and all modern technology, so he assumed that area of the room was more like an entertainment room. The center of the room was a big and soft bed with a fur carpet underneath. The only difference between this room and the previous one was the mosquito net above the bed, and the overall atmosphere was quiet, pleasant, and sumptuous.
On the right side of the room, there was a wardrobe with a large mirror. Cedric felt that this room was no different from a room in an exclusive hotel, except that there was an S-shaped sofa near the window that led to the veranda.
"That sofa?" Bastian asked, looking at the center of the room, while Cedric remained silent.
"Oh, it just arrived this afternoon. I deliberately ordered it for Mr. Cedric because I intend for this room to continue to be used exclusively by Mr. Cedric in the future," the manager replied.
"And what happened to the old room?"
"I thought I would renovate and replace it with a new atmosphere. I'm grateful that the mess showed the decaying parts there," the manager replied as he showed the last room to the VVIP guests.
"Last one," the manager said as he walked towards the wide door that separated the living room from the back room. "I have something you will like."
Cedric remained silent and watched the manager's every move as he showed him around the room. At first, he thought the last section was just like the rest—an ordinary bathroom beautifully decorated with a mix of white and gold colors and several large mirrors.
"It makes no difference," Cedric squeaked.
The manager smiled, and looking undaunted, he picked up a remote near the sink and pressed the green button. Suddenly a wall moved and opened; it turned out to be a secret door. Bastian looked surprised, but his master did not overreact.
"Please come in, sir."
Cedric entered the secret room alone. Once inside, he was shocked to see a variety selection of women's underwear neatly hung in the room, as well as several sex aids and other playthings. He grinned cheerfully, wanting to applaud the club's performance, which, for the first time, could provide anything without being asked.
"Good job," Cedric said after he left the room.
Hearing the praise from his VVIP customer, the club manager smiled broadly and thanked him and left as his job already done
Cedric approached the S-shaped chair and touched its surface.
"When is my order coming?" Cedric asked. Bastian checked his watch.
"He should have arrived earlier," he said, his voice tense with worry that his master's request would be late.
"Sorry, sir, I'll check downstairs," Bastian said as he approached the door.
"Wait," Cedric said, causing the assistant to halt and turn around. "Have the two of them guard the elevator downstairs; I don't need a guard at the front of the room. I need more privacy because I feel this game is going to be awesome."
Bastian gave Cedric a kind grin. "Of course, sir."

Selena had just finished, then she rinsed her lips and washed her face, hoping to feel refreshed. Her head was still dizzy, and her eyesight was hazy. She glanced at herself in the mirror, so messy, so unlike herself. Selena halted for a second before leaning against a nearby wall, but as she looked back, she spotted a man standing just behind her.
"Who are you?" shouted Selena, but the man didn't answer.
Her pulse was beating twice as fast, and she was shocked that someone so impolite had entered the bathroom. Selena wiped her eyes, attempting to sharpen her vision of the man.
"Oh my goodness. You! What the hell are you doing here?" Selena yelled at him.
Cedric, the man, merely grinned a little and moved over to Selena, whispering, "I should have asked, What are you doing here?"
The penthouse fell silent in the serene atmosphere, and nobody could hear Selena's footsteps. She tried to step out after waking up. The towering skyscrapers in the city offered a breathtaking view with clouds decorating the blue sky, but for Selena, it was just the most beautiful prison built by Cedric.Selena entered a room with determination in her eyes. She had decided to leave the penthouse right after remembering the reason she ended up in the hospital. She needed to distance herself from everything that bound her to this limited and oppressive life. However, fate seemed to play with her, and before reaching the exit, Bastian, the muscular man always accompanying her, appeared in front of her."Bastian," Selena whispered, attempting to slip past him. But Bastian blocked her way with a swift movement. His expression was severe, his eyes filled with despair."No, Selena," Bastian said in a low voice. "Where are you going? I can't let you go."Selena s
Mount McKinley sprawls majestically in the distance, radiating an aura of strength and glory. However, inside the lofty residence at the mountain's peak, Cedric, the Alpha King, felt an indescribable confusion. His face reflected deep uncertainty and worry. In his grand office, Carius, the elder of the McKinley Clan, sat before him, ready to listen to all the burdens in Cedric's heart."As the Clan Elder, I am here to listen, Cedric. Speak what weighs on your mind," Carius said gently and attentively.Cedric took a deep breath before opening his heart. "Carius, everything is becoming more complicated. I don't know how to handle it."Carius nodded, signaling Cedric to continue."Sarah... She's not the Luna who should be my mate," Cedric confessed honestly, his eyes searching for understanding in Carius's face.Carius looked at Cedric with a wise gaze. "What makes you say that?"
In the night, the previously quiet forest was now filled with rustling dry leaves and heavy werewolf footsteps. Moonlight illuminated a secret meeting place.The majestic forest was a sacred place for the McKinley Clan. In this place, werewolves gathered for important meetings and ceremonies, where other members of the Wolf Clan also gathered to discuss a profound matter.In the cold midnight, the atmosphere of the forest became tense with their presence. That night, the atmosphere of the majestic forest felt even more anxious than usual. The old trees and giant trees covered the sky with dense foliage, creating mysterious shadows between the shadows of the trees.Cedric had almost arrived at the meeting place, but Carius was already waiting in the center of the forest, a severe look on his face. As soon as Cedric approached, Carius immediately paid his respects."The Alpha," greeted Carius respectfully. "I have called you because of the urgency of the situation. Our clan needs stabil
In the middle of a dense forest, the full moon illuminates the forest, giving a magical glow to the secret gathering of the werewolf Clan. They gathered in a hidden old cave known only to the chosen ones. The moonlight sneaking in through the cracks in the rock gave the gathering a mystical atmosphere.A secret gathering of werewolves from various Clans filled the meeting with tensions and rumors that flourished among them. The Klans gathered to discuss the news that had shaken them up about the Alpha King, Cedric McKinley, having a lover other than his Luna, Sarah Denali. The rumors spread quickly, and worry and uncertainty crept up among the werewolves present.Rowena Denali, Sarah's mother, a wise woman respected by many werewolves, presided over the meeting. Her stern face reflected concern and worry. With a heavy heart, she began the session. Her graceful steps broke the silence, and the clan members automatically turned to her. Standing in the center, Rowena stood in front of Al
Amidst the severe atmosphere of the meeting, Cedric sat in his chair with a blank stare as if his mind was drifting away from the room. Although the room was full of discussions and presentations, he couldn't distract himself from something deep in his mind.Sarah sat across the room and couldn't help but notice her cousin's strange demeanor. In the silence that dominated the room, her eyes continued to monitor Cedric's every move. She sensed something was wrong and was desperate to know what was troubling Cedric's mind.While the meeting continued, in Cedric's mind, the image of Selena continued to haunt him. Cedric was worried about how he was doing after the events due to his failure to control his powers. Whenever he tried to focus on the discussion, his thoughts always returned to Selena and a deep sense of regret.Unable to contain his anxiety any longer, Cedric finally made a drastic decision. He stood abruptly, stating that he had to leave the meeting on short notice. The meet
Cedric was surprised to see the body of the woman he was sleeping with drooping limply with a purplish face and not moving. He tried to wake her up by patting her pale, cold face."Hey, Selena..." Cedric called her name, hoping she would respond. He tried repeatedly to wake her up, but there was no change. Then, Cedric checked her breathing but found that he couldn't feel any air coming out of her nose."Oh my, Selena!"Cedric wrapped his arms around her and tried to feel her pulse, but it felt so weak."Bloody hell, what am I doing," Cedric snapped to himself.The morning sun was already shining its warm rays on the city, but inside Cedric's penthouse, the silence was broken by a deep panic. Selena collapsed in front of him without a word, looking critical instead. His eyes radiated worry and panic as he tried again to wake Selena up."Selena! Selena, wake up!" exclaimed Cedric as he gently tried to shake Selena's shoulders. However, there was no response from Selena's limp body.Ced
