When Eon got up from the couch, he grabbed Lina's arm, dragged her from the couch, and slammed her into the wall. His palm slammed against the wall next to her ear. He slapped his open palm against the wall so hard that the inside of his palm stung, but she didn't flinch. Her eyes are fixed on his face as if she couldn't comprehend what caused his outburst.
Both he and his wolf were enraged by her nonchalance. However, none of them understand why this woman's coldness and disinterest affect them so much.
Although Eon knows he's good-looking, not all women like him. Therefore, he couldn't understand why he was angry when she said he had no chance with her. The Alpha part of his wolf wanted the woman caught between his hot body and the cold wall to submit. Yet, the woman has no intention of submitting. Her eyes were clear with her moist lips agape—like a red rose drenched in morning dew, begging for a kiss.
His manhood stirred inside his jeans and Eon felt shame. It is incredible how strongly his body reacts to this woman as if he is a thirsty pre-adolescent boy. ‘Who the fuck she thinks she is!’ He could still feel his wolf seething with rage inside him. Eon, on the other hand, wanted to tear the woman apart. He wanted to tear apart her clothes and take her right here and there.
A strong lust was clouding his brain that the longer he stood next to her the more difficult it was for him to reign his wolf because the sweet smell of her sweat, emitting from her body, permeated his nostril, awakening something deep inside of him. A primal need that he hasn’t felt in a long time. He wanted to take her. He wanted to make her beg for whatever, and he wanted to…
Eon realized that his thoughts were going awry. Smirking, he looked down at the girl who showed no sign of emotion on her pretty face. As Eon managed to control the rage of his wolf, he noticed the fabric of her dress, pulled tightly across her chest. There were two small protruding nipples visible in the stretchy material of her dress that was clinging to her body like a second skin.
‘Interesting.’ Her eyes could lie but her body cannot. She could stare at him all she wanted, acting high and mighty, showing indifference but her body was telling him otherwise. Eon smirked and grabbed her delicate jaws in his right hand. “Tell me, woman. What made you think I wanted a chance with you?”
Li Na swallowed a painful lump at the back of her throat when this arrogant man leaned closer to her face that his warm breath fanned her face, slowly heating up with how intense his gaze was thrown at her.
He was so close she could smell his breath. It smells minty. Not the menthol kind. But the one like some freshly cut grass. His cologne smells like a forest after a rain. It has an earthy smell, is clean, and drives her insane!
She blinked her eyes to stop the tears from escaping at the corner of her eyes with how hard he was gripping her jaws. She didn’t dare move. The glint from his eyes was daring her though. He was taunting her to fight him and Li Na couldn’t understand why.
‘How big and fragile his ego was to be insulted when she told him that he had no chance with her?’ She just replied to his sarcastic pun of her possible name. She gave him a stinky eye.
She has a feeling that this man already knew her even before they were introduced. She was sure, however, that she did not know him. A face like his is difficult to forget. His angry expression could not be hidden by the thick dark brows that were tightly knitted. But it doesn't mare his handsomeness rather it accentuated the sensuality of his brooding eyes.
His squinted eyes were like a pair of judgemental beings that could see what was really inside her. It was strange, why would she even think that someone was lurking behind his dark eyes, judging her. Discerning parts of her that she did not know existed.
“Let me go,” her voice faltered, to her dismay and shame. Why does she act like a weak girl in front of him? She felt his hand release her jaws before she could formulate an answer in her confused mind. A soft sigh of relief escaped her lips.
“You started it!”, she said. She pursed her lips in indignation. When the man, who stood too close for comfort, arched his brow at her, she stuck out her tongue at him. “You called me Celibacy!”
“And you are not?” he asked in a jarring tone.
“What the fuck!” She pushed her chest and Li Na swallowed her saliva when she felt his firm muscle. “Why would you think I am celibate?”
Eon was at a loss for words. His wolf was talking out loud that before he caught himself, his thought came out of his mouth. He showed a strong dislike for the thought that there were other men who touched the woman in front of him. He felt like strangling his wolf.
[Shut up!] He admonished his wolf but he just snorted at him in defiance. Clenching his teeth, he cleared his throat. "It's my fault, I'm sorry. I was being an ass.” He removed his hand from beside her face and took a step backward, giving her some space.
His wolf snorting in disgust when he apologized was ringing inside his head. [Fuck off! You could clearly smell that this woman doesn’t smell like a wolf!]
He apologized to her because he was convinced that the information he got about this woman being a She-wolf was wrong.
[Frio!] He screamed inside his head, and within minutes he felt Frio’s presence behind him. He could smell his fear. [Good! I can see that you fear for your life. Explain to me this shit you’re talking about this girl.]
“Frio, oh my god! What happened?” The woman ducked under his armpit and rushed towards Frio before Frio could answer his wolf. She has a big smile on her face as if she met a good old friend.
Eon, watching his wolf seethed in anger when the woman showed familiarity towards Frio who was smiling awkwardly.
“Oh hi, Luna! I didn’t expect to see you here.”
[What a good liar!] Ehann wolf smirked, letting his presence known.
[I don’t have words, Alpha. But I swear to my life, I’m one hundred percent sure, this woman is a she-wolf!]
“Oh! My name is Li Na.” she chuckled lightly at Frio’s mistake.
Frio shifted his gaze to Eon when he heard the woman he was calling Luna say, her name is Lina.
“Explain to me why you are betting your own life for that girl,” he said with gritted teeth, pointing at the door, leading down the third floor, “...that she is a She-wolf when she doesn’t smell like one!” Frio twisted his hands in front of him, his eyes were glued on the floor. “I can’t explain how it works, Alpha but --” “Do not call me Alpha!” Eon hurled the glass of whiskey across the room. Frio winced while Ehann was standing like a statue next to the mini-bar of Eon’s penthouse. Eon called Frio and Ehann to his penthouse after he met the infuriating woman who wasn’t Luna but Lina! It was just a mistake on Frio’s part and now he wanted to know if it was also a mistake that Frio has been telling him that that girl is a She-wolf! That Lina woman ignored him for the rest of the night. Expect for the part where she called him a stinky dog. She hung out with Frio and didn’t even bother to throw him a glance despite being seated between him and Frio. A
At the VIP section on the second floor of Luna, a familiar woman was sitting with a crowd of women being hit on with some men. Eon gritted his teeth when Lina laughed out loud with whatever the man next to her whispered to her ears. ‘Does she really have to laugh at everything that man said?’ He and his wolf seethe with rage. Well, his wolf was seething with rage, him on the other hand was experiencing a different feeling in his chest. One that he has not experienced all his life - jealousy! “You should stop staring at her or else she would know that you’re falling on her or something.” He clicked his tongue and snapped his head to his sister who was manning the bar on the second floor. “Don’t be ridiculous, Larissa!” Larissa is the only one that could tease him with things just like she said. None of his men would ever dare to say those words in his face. “Eon, we have some delivery in the kitchen that needs your attention.” Ehann’s sudden appearance
Larrisa has been long gone after she changed Lina's clothes and gave her a sponge bath but he was still sitting in the armchair across the couch where Lina was asleep.He brought the bottle of whiskey that he was drinking in his study and drank in the dark, watching Lina sleep. The city lights entered the glass window, illuminating her sleeping face. And every time her soft snore would break the silence of the room, Eon's heart would constrict painfully inside his chest.He was justifying his creepy action as something he could not help because it was his wolf that wanted to watch Lina in her sleep. But of course, he would be lying. Even his wolf snickered in disgust with what he was doing.He exhaled softly in the dark, afraid to make a sound that would disturb her in her peaceful slumber. A while ago, he even stopped pouring himself a drink because he was worried that the slushing of the alcohol into the glass would wake her up. Hence, he was drinking straight
"Lina!" Eon shook her shoulder but Lina didn't wake up and stopped clawing herself. At first, he thought she was clawing at him but after a while, he realized that she was trying to swat something away from her. He was stunned as she started to tear her clothes off her body. "Lina!" He called her again but she was so deep in her dreams that his voice nor him shaking her couldn't reach her brain. In her dreams, Lina was running for her life. She was running in a dark forest with snarly dead tree trunks, clawing her as she ran away from a pack of dogs that had been chasing her. "Hah, hah," she bent down, panting. She put her hands on her knees as she tried to catch her breath. She has been running for ages but no matter where she ran or how fast she ran, the damn pack of dogs always found her. Her legs were giving up on her and she was so damn tired and thirsty from all the running she had been doing. The dark forest also wasn't helping. She loo
When the realization hit Li Na that she couldn’t recall what happened in the club, she freaked out. She tried to keep a straight face, staring at Eon who was lying in the middle of his huge bed, he had his arm as his pillow—chill, and relax. He’s wearing a black silk robe but it was wide open and it showed his black boxer as well. Li Na must keep her gaze from wandering from his annoyingly smug face to his firm chest and abdomen, where she can easily trace the deep line dividing his six-pack abs with her fingertips since it was prominently chiseled. She swallowed her saliva as she looked at his size that his black boxer couldn't hide. She unconsciously wet her lips and her breath hitched as she tore her gaze away from the breathtaking view of his almost naked body. “I’m asking you! What am I doing here at your place?” She masked her agitation from the fact that she couldn’t recall what she did last night behind anger, directed at Eon. “You were dead drunk at
The fourth floor became silent as a mausoleum as soon as Li Na got on the elevator. Eon wondered if his flat has always been this quiet. He never took notice before Li Na set foot inside his personal space. No one was ever allowed to enter his place. The fourth floor was divided into two parts, the first was his study and the second was his sanctuary where no one was allowed in. But he just broke his rule. He has brought Li Na. Moreover, he took her to sleep next to him in his bed, where nobody else lays. He would once in a while bed some women for he’s a man with a healthy sex drive, but he always brought those women to the third-floor secret room. He would never take them to the fourth floor. He covered his eyes with his arm and let his mind drift away. He found himself inside his best-kept memory. 'Eon, we have enough!’ she complained but there was no annoyance in her sweet voice, rather it was full of laughter. Eon turned around and s
Li Na dropped herself to bed last night when she came back home from Luna. She thought she would not fall asleep anymore because most of the time, whenever she has her nightmare, she would not get any sleep anymore, but not last night. She slept like a babe. When she woke up, she felt refreshed and had no hangover. She rolled around her queen-sized bed, with a pillow between her knees. When she felt tired of rolling around her bed, she grabbed her phone that was on her side table. She scooted and leaned on the headboard, and started to check her social media. She also opened her Weibo account and read some news back home. She heaved a deep sigh and the good mood she had upon waking up, turned into a sullen one. 'He's moving on with his life,' she thought about her previous lover. She grimaced and reminded herself that there is no way Zhan would not move on from her. Who is she, anyway? She's just the mistress's daughter. She thought her father would d
'You have to be careful because someone is after you.' Li Na scoffed haughtily as she recalled what Madam Gyu told her. No one is after me. No one cares about me, she thought to herself bitterly."Ernesto, let's go shopping! I need new outfits." She met her driver's eyes at the rearview mirror and smiled. The hotel designated driver was already used to her whim that he didn't show any indication of surprise with her sudden request.She doesn't like strangers around her, that's why, with the many chauffeurs provided by the hotel, she chose Ernesto and requested to have him as her driver while she was staying at the Hotel Bel-Air. She's already one of their VIP guests and the hotel agreed to her request easily.Ernesto already knew her preferred store so he didn't ask where they would go when she told him that they were going to pick new clothes. He already knew where to go.And the rest of the afternoon was spent hopping from one store to the next. And bef
