Daniel's expression instantly changes from his usual calm and composed look to something called "shocked."
In fact, he almost staggered and fell.
'What did he just call me?
'Papa?!'
Alexander is yelling at the top of his lungs in Daniel's mind, "Why did he just call you Papa? What have you been doing while I was asleep?! Damn you, Daniel! You made me betray my mate physically!!!"
Daniel has no time for Alexander's nonsense right now. His heart is filled with the little boy running towards him.
Something has changed underneath him, after he heard the little boy calling him โPapa.โ Itโs like a chemical reaction that he canโt quite explain, but forces him to do something that is completely unlike him.
Daniel bent over and spread his arms slightly, as if waiting for the little boy to run into his arms.
Jeremi instinctively wants to run. He has good body. Mom said he will be a warrior one day. But he is still too young. Colin gets to him with ease. The man grabs Jeremi's shirt and pulls him up as he smiles. "You're quite the runner, child." "Let me go, you big monster! Let me go!" Jeremi flails his legs, struggling fiercely. Yet, to a tough built man like Colin, Jeremi's resistance seems nothing more than bouncing cricket. He hurls Jeremi into the back seat and slams the door shut. "Put on your seatbelt." Jeremi shows his fangs, face gradually covers with wolfy grey fur. Colin raised brow and whistles. "Phewโฆ Not bad, your dad's must be a huge monster!" Jeremi swoops over and tries to bite Colin. Left with no choice, Colin ties Jeremi up. Seeing Jeremi's face, his brows raise even higher.
Never in her life did Heather even think she would end up seeing Danielโs face behind the door. Completely stunned, Heather could feel all of her hair standing up as her heart thumped ferociously. Like a huge thunderstorm, everything that had happened five years ago rushed back into her mind with a huge surge of waves, mercilessly devouring her entire being. Heather still could not suppress the pain she was feeling in her heart when she met the man once again, feeling as though all of the toying, betrayal, and abandonment were things that had just happened yesterday. Apart from that, she felt fear. Now that Daniel had found her and her son, would he end up taking Jeremi away from her? Will he choose to kill the both of them even? Feeling her entire bodyโs energy leaving her body, Heatherโs knees began to turn weak, and she almost lost her footing. &n
Heather was referring to him helping her save Dr. Decker. Daniel once again scrunched up the paper into a ball before lopping it into the bin. He sat on the sofa with his eyes closed, seeming as though he was trying to suppress his anger. Meanwhile, Alexander, who had also read the message on the paper, felt very depressed. โYouโve scared away my mate.โ โShe didnโt intend on staying in the first place.โ โIโm sure itโs because of you!โ โDonโt forget whose wolf you are, Alexander!โ โI havenโt forgotten.โ Alexander sounded very proud. โIโm Heatherโs mate.โ Daniel was rendered speechless, while Alexander obviously still had something he wanted to say. โUmโฆ Are you still going to eat those?โ Alexander pointed at the dishes of poisonous food on the table. Daniel coldly sneered. โI hope I end up dying
Colin proudly entered Daniel’s villa and lounged on his sofa.“Dude, I’m telling you, I’m seriously bad at lying. So, could you not send me out on such a difficult mission next time? You could’ve just given her the potion yourself, right?”Daniel gave Colin a kick. “You really should learn from your father and be the Beta he used to be.”Colin got up and replied, “Sure, I’ll go ask him for help then.”Daniel rolled his eyes, failing to understand how Colin was going to seek tutelage from the previous Beta, who was no longer in this world.“Oh, by the way… Aside from saving that old man from the underground room, I’ve also got a lead on that other thing you asked me to look into.” Colin took out a file from his pocket and handed it to Daniel.When Daniel took out a few p
Heather was in pain from Daniel’s grip and wanted to break free. Yet, she was welcomed with an even tighter grip.“I’m talking to you,” Daniel squinted his eyes and emphasized.Heather coldly chuckled. “I can hear you perfectly fine even if you don’t grab me.”Daniel disliked women with such a cold attitude. He could still recall when Heather was still obedient to his needs and thought that she should keep it that way.Meanwhile, Jeremi immediately pounced onto Daniel and bit the latter's hand holding onto Heather’s.Lo and behold, after Daniel had been bitten by his son on the leg, he was now bitten by him on the wrist once more.Strangely enough, despite the pain Daniel felt on his wrist, he still felt his heartstrings being pulled because of the little boy’s touch.‘He’s
Heather’s lips were trembling ferociously. She did not want to agree to Daniel’s unreasonable condition in the slightest.“What about Kasey? What about your fiancée?”Heather wanted to use Kasey to pull Daniel back to his senses, but she was only met with a mocking smile in return.“Didn’t you hear what I said?” Daniel pinched Heather’s chin. “I asked you to be my bedmate, not my girlfriend, not my mate, and most certainly not my Luna.”The immense pain instantly drowned Heather of her senses.However, Daniel did not think it was enough yet, so he used his devilish voice and continued, “So, Kasey won’t know of your existence, nor should you fantasize about having some status you shouldn’t be coveting.”“I don’t want to do this!” Heather shouted.
At that moment, Jeremi had run over to see how his cookies were coming along, only to realize both his mother and grandma had serious expressions on their faces.Also, there were egg fluids all over the floor.The little boy was worried sick. “What happened?!”Heather smiled. “I accidentally dropped the bowl.”Jeremi covered his forehead from the headache he was feeling. “You’re such a genius, Mom.”Heather shrugged and teased, “I wouldn’t be able to have you if I wasn’t, little genius.”Jeremi was rendered speechless. He then got up on the chair and squeezed Heather away to the side. “I’ll help Grandma. You should go play Jenga with Grandpa instead.”Heather and Deanna were stunned for a moment, followed by a hearty laugh.Heather then suppressed h
Michele and Deanna were both placed under arrest for assaulting their Alpha. They were set to roam the streets as a demonstration before they were ultimately shot to death.News about this spread throughout the entire country, so there was not a single person who did not know what was about to happen to them.Of course, this included Heather.She was now drenched in cold sweat, still in disbelief that Daniel would choose to do such a thing to her parents.Unable to abandon her parents, Heather had no choice but to give up on escaping by boat and brought Jeremi with her as they hid in a nearby city.For some unknown reason, Daniel did not lock up Heather’s parents in prison. Instead, he placed them under house arrest in her own house.Aside from two werewolves guarding the entrance, there was nothing different to her house.Heather n
Percy was very quickly sent to the hospital. Thanks to Danielโs arrangement, he received the best treatment from the hospital and was back on his feet very soon. Heather felt much more relaxed now that she was reunited with her family, which led to her treating Daniel a lot better than she did before. She thought, โThis is only going to last for a year. Itโs not that long of a period, so I could try to adjust my attitude and treat Daniel a little better.โHowever, there are just some things in life that would disappear once missed. Take a shattered glass, for example. Thereโs no way it can be left without scars, even if it gets glued back together. โIโm still going to leave at the end of all this.โโThank you,โ Heather said to Daniel at the dinner table. Daniel was startled for a moment before he asked, โWhat for?โโThank you for not only sparing my brother, but even taking him under your wing.โ Heather then pursed her lips and continued, โI know heโs committed a grave sin, so you
โNo! Donโt kill him!โ Heather shouted, her hands resting on Percyโs shoulder. โI forgive him! I donโt blame him for his sins. So please, spare his life, Alpha.โDaniel squinted his eyes, his mind devoured by his own jealousy. He hated that the woman he was deeply in love with was protecting another man.โGet her away from him,โ Daniel coldly ordered the guards nearby.โNo!โ Heather shouted. โDonโt force my hand!โ She stared at Daniel, her eyes reflecting her resistance.Daniel was infuriated at his guards for going against his orders, so he yelled, โTake her away!โThe guards instantly stepped forward, wanting to drag Heather off the stage.Without much of a choice, Heatherโs Mental Strength instantly exploded, racing toward the incoming guards and stunning them on the spot.The crowd gasped in awe.Heather had been concealing her abilities over the past 20 years or more, so everyone thought that she was Michael, the strongest fighterโs daughter with rotten luck. So, it was only natur
After Daniel had confirmed that Kasey had planted a spy within his ranks, he had asked Colin to look into the matter. It only took Colin a short time before he found out that the spy was Percy.After a few days, they finally managed to catch the culprit.Daniel did not return to his bedroom to rest. Instead, he rubbed his tired eyes and grabbed his car keys.It was already noon the next day when he returned home.Heather had just come out of Jeremiโs bedroom when she saw Daniel, whose eyes had huge dark bags beneath them.โLooks like he hasnโt been asleep for the whole night. I wonder if heโs gone out to handle something.โโHeather, Iโve caught the person who exposed our movements back at the theme park.โHeather very quickly reacted to the matter. โWho was it?โDaniel then slowly uttered Percyโs name, leaving Heather dumbfounded.She recalled the time when the man had been accompanying her in the basement back when Kasey had severely injured her. Filled with disbelief, she said, โIt
Heather did not struggle, nor did she resist Danielโs advances. Instead, she just calmly lay on the bed until he was done kissing her.Danielโs face turned completely red. At the end of the day, he was unable to bring it upon himself to take the woman by force. He then rolled around and lay on his side of the bed.For a moment, all that was left in that bedroom were their labored breathing.As time went by and the silence emanated, Daniel suddenly moved and placed his arm on Heather before tightly holding on to her waist. He then rested his chin on her shoulder, like an abandoned child would to his mother. Forcing his voice to turn soft, he said, โCould you not retract the love you have for me? Please?โโBut that love for you is already dead.โA tear fell across the edge of Heatherโs eye when she said this.โ...I donโt believe you.โ Danielโs voice trembled a little. In his opinion, Heather was his mate, which was a connection so sacred and intimate that it could not be cut away so eas
Whenever Heather was with her family, her life would become very normal, and time would pass by slower. However, oneโs mood would gradually fall into a tranquil state, and Heather greedily wanted to enjoy this serenity a little longer, which caused her to lose track of time.The sky had already turned dark by the time she had planned to go back.Evan offered to drive Heather and Jeremi back. She did not refuse since it had been a very long time before they both got reunited.โWhen are you planning on leaving?โ Heather asked.โIโm not going to leave for the time being. Iโve rented a place nearby.โโDo you have some kind of matter you need to look into?โEvan looked at Heather and rubbed his nose. Nodding his head, he said, โYes, Thereโs someone I like here, so I wish to accompany her.โHeather stopped and seemed very surprised. โOh my God! I wasnโt expecting for you to be in a relationship already! Whoโs the lucky girl?โEvan embarrassedly smiled. โShe hasnโt agreed to go out with me y
โStop the car here,โ Heather said when Danielโs car was still some distance away from her house.โI can drive you to your entrance.โโI donโt want my parents to see you,โ Heather mercilessly said.Daniel tightly clenched his steering wheel as his heart was once again broken by Heatherโs words. He stopped the car and said, โIโll be waiting for you here.โDaniel was too masculine of a man to put on such an aggrieved look.Heather frowned as she brought Jeremi out of the car.โWhy wonโt you let the big monster go to Grandpaโs house with us?โโBecause Grandpa and Grandma both despise him.โโDo you like him then, Mommy?โHeather was stunned for a moment before she shook her head. โI donโt like him either.โJeremi rolled his eyes and shrugged, thinking that the big monster was rather pitiful because nobody liked him aside from himself.After a while, Heather knocked on the door. When the living roomโs door was opened, Deanna was left dumbfounded, and she almost started to cry.โWhoโs that?โ
Danielโs chest would suffer from excruciating pain whenever he heard the mate he deeply loved saying she wanted to โleave him.โHe clenched his teeth. โI will never let you two leave. I want us to be together forever, and I made myself very clear about that.โโThen you can consider this condition of yours moot because I will never agree to it.โ Heather looked at the man. โAre you going to use this one year and try changing my opinion of you, or would you prefer that I be the woman who hates you forever?โHeather took a step back, breaking herself free from Danielโs embrace before she calmly said, โMake your choice.โWhen posed with the choice, Daniel understood that that was not his decision to make. He was very clear that everything he now has was not love, but dominance over someone he could not obtain.โOne year will give me enough time to deplete your patience toward me, or even for me to escape from your grasp.โAfter struggling for a long time, Danielโs shoulders relaxed, and he
โStop!โ Heather shouted.She had prepared herself for everything mentally, but she could not help but break out in cold sweat when she saw Daniel sitting on a chair, coldly looking at Sarah on the ground.Even though Heather had shouted, Sarahโs whipping punishments did not stop. Without a choice, Heather darted past the crowd and took a full strike from the whip, making a crystal clear sound that her flesh had been torn apart.Daniel seemed to have suddenly regained his senses, kicking away the executioner to catch Heather.โAre you crazy?!โ Daniel anxiously asked. โLet me see your wound.โDaniel had yet to retract the darkness on his expression, so Heather pushed him away and said, โYouโre the one whoโs crazy!โDaniel frowned. โIโm only punishing the person who hurt you in the past. She should be grateful for the mercy I have shown her for not taking her life.โโMercy?โโThatโs right. All those who have hurt you deserve to die.โHeather stared at Daniel and sneered. โYouโre the one
Meanwhile, Kasey had been exiled.Her departure had thoroughly ended the reign of the Collins. Using his identity as Kaseyโs former husband, Daniel was able to very smoothly take over the entire Galaxy Pack, successfully expanding his territory and becoming a supreme leader.Countless warriors and wealthy families wanted to have their daughters marry him. Unfortunately, to everyoneโs disappointment, their Alpha agreed to none of their advances.What they did not know was that Daniel was actually waiting for his mate to go back to him.On the other hand, Heather had become the lady owner of the villa, effectively moving from the room in the basement to the master bedroom on the second floor.Everything in the master bedroom was luxuriously renovated. The clothes in the closet, accessories on the dressing table, cosmetics, perfumesโฆ All of them were the best of the best.Heather no longer needed to work tirelessly as a lowly maid. Instead, she was able to enjoy all of the benefits Danie
