Chapter 17

Penulis: Bagel
Eloise's POV

I spent three days using the highest authority granted to me by the "Vance Protocol."

Julian, acting as my proxy, contacted nine of the oldest pack elders across Europe and America.

They either owed me favors or were desperate for my genetic technology.

"Eloise," Julian looked at me, a hint of worry in his eyes. "Once we initiate a trial by the High Council, it means we'll have to reopen the ugliest wounds. Are you ready for that?"

"The wounds never healed."

"Now, I'm going to drag the one who made them into the light."

In the ancient council hall, the most revered elders of the werewolf world sat shrouded in shadow.

I stood at the plaintiff's podium, listening to Rosalind's shrill voice.

"This is a mockery! A desecration of our sacred laws!"

"A human, daring to pass judgment on a noble bloodline? Elders, throw this bitch out!"

She was in silver shackles but still wore a lavish silk gown, her chin held high.

Even now, she still believed her status as a Thorne Pack princess

  • When the Alpha Lost His Human Childhood Sweetheart   Chapter 22

    Eloise's POVFive years later., Zurich.The afternoon sun scattered across the lake, shimmering like a handful of crushed diamonds.The sound of two sets of silvery laughter came from the garden."Mommy! Look! I caught one!"My five-year-old son ran toward me, holding up a butterfly. Behind him, my daughter, who had just learned to walk, toddled after her brother like a clumsy duckling.I sat on a wicker chair on the terrace, a cup of warm black tea in my hands.As the breeze blew past, I subconsciously touched my neck.A delicate platinum chain rests there, from which hangs the simple, perfect diamond Julian gave me.I wear it always, never wanting to take it off.Meanwhile, deep inside a drawer of my bedroom vanity, a thin layer of dust had settled on the velvet box.The mended moonstone lay quietly inside. A beautiful relic from another life. An essential part of the woman I was, but not the woman I am now.The evening news was playing on the living room TV."...Today marks the fift

    Eloise's POVThe conservatives' retaliation came faster than I had imagined.It was snowing heavily that night. Julian and I had just walked out of the lab, heading for the car."Fondue tonight?" Julian asked, opening a black umbrella to shield me from the swirling snow.I smiled and nodded.Suddenly, several dark figures shot out from the shadowy corners of the parking garage.The air was instantly filled with the foul, feral stench of wolves, radiating a violent killing intent."Watch out!" Julian threw me behind him, but it was too late.A silver blade whistled past my face, embedding itself deep in a concrete pillar. The hilt quivered. It was a poisoned dagger.They were the remaining loyalists of the Thorne Pack, along with the radical conservatives who saw the "Vance Protocol" as heresy.Another shadow lunged straight for me, aiming for my throat.Just as claws slashed toward Julian's throat, a deafening roar ripped through the snow-filled night.A black blur slammed into the att

    Eloise's POVAfter that, I heard nothing of Slade for a long time. My relationship with Julian, meanwhile, gradually fell into place.We had become an indispensable part of each other's lives.At a celebratory banquet for one of our research projects, crystal chandeliers glittered and champagne bubbles rose in the glasses.Julian stood beside me, looking sharp in a simple, well-tailored suit.He suddenly cleared his throat, motioning for the band to stop playing.The hall fell silent. All eyes focused on us.I was curious about his sudden action, until he knelt on one knee before everyone, holding up a simple but exquisitely designed diamond ring."Eloise," he began, his voice trembling slightly but full of unwavering love, "these past two years, you've shown me what true courage is. You haven't just healed a species, you've healed me.""Will you marry me?"I looked at him, at his eyes that held only warmth and acceptance, filled with all his love for me.Just as I was about to extend

    Eloise's POVThe car had barely gone two blocks when the screech of tires ripped through the air ahead.A black SUV swerved erratically, cutting across three lanes of traffic to block my convoy.Slade jumped out. He ignored the warning shots from my bodyguards and charged toward my car like a madman.His tie was gone, his jacket was missing, and his shirt was soaked in sweat, clinging to his body."Doctor, give the word and we'll ram him," the driver said, his hand already on the gearshift."No." I pressed the button to lower the window, watching him coldly. "Let him come."He pounded on my bulletproof window, his knuckles white from the force."Eloise! Get out of the car! Just tell me why!""Why can't you forgive me? Why!"The night wind was cold, but the chill in my heart was colder."Are you insane, Slade?" I looked at him, my voice flat. "Are you looking to die?""Die?" He let out a broken, bitter laugh, his chest heaving. "If I can't have your forgiveness, what's the difference be

    Eloise's POVAs I walked out of the council building, Slade was standing across the street, leaning against a massive marble column.He wore an expensive suit, but it hung on him like he was a soldier retreating from a lost war.His eyes were sunken, and the collar of his once-immaculately kept shirt was open.Seeing me, he straightened up abruptly and stumbled toward me.The bodyguards tried to stop him, but I raised a hand to halt them."Eloise... just one minute. Please."I stopped. "What are you doing here?""If you've come for Rosalind, her body is out back. You can claim it.""To hell with Rosalind," he rasped. "I'm here for you."I ignored him and walked straight toward the armored sedan parked at the curb.Slade suddenly sped up, ignoring the bodyguards' warnings, and forcibly broke through to stand in front of me, blocking my path with his arms outstretched.I glanced at my watch. "You have one minute. My time is valuable, Slade."He took a shaky breath, reaching for my hand.
