LOGIN**Skylar**I pursed my lips. "It’s like you're tired of me. You don't even wanna talk to me.""Let's just talk about what's important.""What do you think is important?""About business. About my family. And about how you move around so wild in this bed."Reflexively, I slapped his hand away. "Then don't tease me if you don't want to be teased." Max rubbed his nose against my neck. I squirmed because it tickled. "If I wanna talk about something other than that, does that mean you won't listen to me?""I'll listen to you.""But I don't need a passive listener. I want an active listener. So I don't feel like I'm talking to a robot or reading a fairy tale."Max finally opened his eyes. They were red. It seemed he was sleepy. "You protest a lot and ask for a lot. Could it be that I'm too good to you?""Too good what? You've never even been good to me.""So what do you think my help has been all this time? Trash?""You said it. Not me."Max clicked his tongue and closed his eyes again. "
**Skylar**"Alright. I can only give you advice. Whatever your decision is, don't forget about yourself. Choose yourself before others, Skylar." Dante smiled slightly. "Then I'll leave now.""I want you to keep everything we talked about today a secret, from Nova or from my father," I said firmly. "Of course. I'll also let you know about the progress of my investigation as soon as possible. About the Keagan’s incident or about Jupiter.""Use the number I used to call you last time. Don't use the previous numbers," I warned. "I'll remember that." Dante smiled briefly before he finally ran away. I watched Dante disappear into the thick trees here. Let's see what Dante does. If my plan is leaked, then it's certain that he's the one who spread it. That way, I can decide what to do with him next. I'm not stupid enough to just believe him. I promised myself that I wouldn't fall into the same hole twice. ***I searched for all the SIM card I had ever used to contact Dante or Mr. P. I
**Skylar**"Yes. I'm still trying to find him," Dante replied. I stepped forward slowly. "How's the search going?”Back when everyone in the Crimson pack knew Jupiter was missing, Dante was the only one who promised me he would find him and bring him back. Meanwhile, Nova, who didn't get along with Jupiter, was actually relieved by his departure. "I haven't found any meaningful clues," he replied."Or maybe you're not looking for him?" I challenged him."That's not true. I am looking for him.""Then it's impossible that you haven't found anything, Dante. I've even found some clues."Now Dante was walking towards me. "Tell me what they are."I stopped and smiled crookedly. "Why should I tell you if you don't want to tell me?""Skylar, are you suspicious of me?"I shrugged. "It's hard to trust anyone right now. I can't even guarantee that you're being honest right now.""Why do you think like that? Did Max say something to you?""This isn't about Max, Dante," I said firmly. "Max has n
**Skylar**I returned to the bed slowly so as not to wake Max. I even held my breath because I didn't want him to catch me leaving while he was asleep.Finally, I could lie down and rest. I already had the date and time of my meeting with Dante. It would take place tomorrow. All I needed to do was find out what Max was doing tomorrow. That way, I could arrange the time for the meeting. I just hoped it would go smoothly. Without Max finding out about our meeting."Come closer to me." The deep, hoarse voice made me jump. Max's eyes were still closed, but his lips were moving silently.Was he talking in his sleep? Oh, I didn't even know he could do that. It turned out he was just like me and everyone else. He was just a living being with emotions. But for some reason, I was sometimes afraid when I saw him angry. Sometimes I also felt intimidated by how stiff he was, like a robot. "Come here." Suddenly his hand flew into the air and landed on my belly. Max pulled my body towards h
**Skylar**I waved my hand in front of Max's face. He didn't respond. Oh, thank goodness. That means he's asleep. Now I have a chance to get out of bed. I took a pen and paper from the drawer. I also took Mr. P's letter to the bathroom and locked the door. I read the letter again. My answer would determine Mr. P's next decision. If that was the case, then I had to give him the answer he wanted. Even if that answer didn't match the truth or how I felt.First, I wanted to explain that the killer who came after him wasn't sent by me, but probably by people who had a problem with him. Second, I would promise that I would not contact Dante. I would also stay away from him. Third, I had to convince him that I would not cause any trouble so he would not have to hurt Jupiter. I crumpled the letter after finishing my reply. To be honest, I was very surprised and curious about Jupiter. I mean, he's a strong Alpha too, but why couldn't he even fight Mr. P? Before he disappeared and whe
**Skylar**I swallowed hard. "But you said at the time that it was purely an accident.""Because that's what everyone knows. I deliberately let them know that was the cause.""But why? I mean, if you were honest, the police would help you uncover the truth."Max removed his hand from mine. "I could’ve done that. But I didn't want to miss the opportunity I had.""I don't understand what you mean," I said honestly.Max faced me. "If the police found something suspicious or even arrested the person behind the incident, who turned out not to be my parents' negligence, I couldn't punish the person myself. Meanwhile, punishing that person is what I want to do to avenge their death." Max then cleaned Mr. Talon's grave again. "I know how it will end if the police handle it. The maximum punishment for the murderer would probably be life imprisonment. Meanwhile, if I punish that person, I can make the punishment feel like a lifetime of suffering."He then turned to me again. "My punishment wil
