After what happened, they gave her an entire week off, allowing her to leave and do whatever she wanted in order so that she could cool off and relax. They even provided her an allowance for the whole time she’d be gone.

It seems they had forgotten she had no other place to go, leaving her with no choice but to return to her aunt’s home. She didn’t want to waste her money to stay in some hostel, somewhere.

It would have been all good, if not for that one reminder the head maid told her, which s

  • Wicked lover   Chapter 105 Agenda

    Valentine’s face was red with rage. She had thought she held enough influence in town to uncover something about the so-called Moonlight Incident, but so far, they had nothing.“Either they don’t want to talk,” she snapped, gritting her teeth as she looked at her cousin Bernice, “or they don’t know anything.”“Well, we approached the ones we thought might know something,” Bernice said with a sigh, pursing her lips as she fiddled with her fingers. She kept her head lowered, avoiding Valentine’s gaze, already bracing herself for the female alpha’s anger. “But it’s not that they don’t want to talk. It’s more like… they can’t.”Valentine frowned.“What do you mean by that?”Something about her cousin’s words only deepened her curiosity, especially after the last things Duncan and Lucas had told her.“They can’t seem to say what they want,” Bernice said, scratching her head in confusion as she recalled the reactions they had gotten each time they asked about it. “We tried everything, but t

  • Wicked lover   Chapter 104 An unlikely bond

    “Is there something you want to tell us?”Duncan still couldn’t wrap his head around what had just happened.Yes, they had spoken of a truce because all three of them agreed that the council was useless in many ways. But what he hadn’t expected was the tension that had hung so heavily over the room during that confrontation.His own hatred and blood rage toward the elders was understandable.But Lucas—That was different.This was the first time Duncan had ever sensed such intense rage from him. It had been brief, barely noticeable if he hadn’t been standing so close, but it had been there.That momentary burst of bloodlust alone had been enough to make Duncan flinch into a defensive stance. The sheer intensity of it had left him wary of Lucas ever since.“Yeah, what was that about? We thought you were about to shift right there in front of the elders.”Valentine pointed at him, frowning as she looked at their companion.Of the three of them, Lucas was the calmest and most composed, s

    The moment the words left Alfred’s mouth, the entire crowd erupted into a ruckus. Several elders began whispering among themselves, while others exchanged mocking glances and quiet snickers.Alfred could only grit his teeth in frustration. He turned to their alpha, but Duncan remained stoic—his face unreadable, his gaze cold and indifferent.They had been forced to come before the town council first, since their pack had suffered the most in the encounter. Most of the injured were the teens from their group.“Do you not see the threat we’re facing?”Alfred tried again, his voice ringing through the hall.That was enough to quiet the room.Some glanced at one another, passing silent messages through their eyes, while others simply smirked.“A threat… or merely a lie?”A soft yet authoritative female voice echoed through the hall.“What?” Alfred blurted out, startled by the sudden interruption, but quickly bit his tongue when he realized an unexpected guest had entered the meeting.Ever

  • Wicked lover   Chapter 102 Mix up

    Slowly, a figure crawled out, followed by that sweet, flowery scent. Duncan let out a sigh of relief, a smile already tugging at his mouth.But it didn’t last.“Duncan… is that you?”A faint, soft voice drifted from the darkness.Duncan froze. The smile slipped from his lips as shock and confusion tightened his expression. His brow furrowed as the figure pulled herself fully into view.Irritation flared the moment he recognized the voice—until he saw her condition.Valentine.The female alpha was naked from shifting back, her body covered in bruises and cuts. She could barely stay upright, shaking under the weight of her injuries.Duncan’s expression softened, his chest aching at the sight. It was the first time he’d ever seen her like this—weak, exposed, vulnerable.“Valentine… what were you doing down there?” he asked, concern sharpening his voice.She was a powerful alpha, nearly his equal. There was no way a swarm of mindless ghouls should’ve brought her to this. Something else ha

  • Wicked lover   Chapter 101 Shining

    For one terrible second, Taffy thought another kind of enemy had somehow gotten in behind them.But then warmth spread against her back.The air inside the burrow shifted.A thin white smoke began to curl through the darkness.Taffy turned with wide, shaking eyes.Selene’s eyes were open.And they were glowing a pure, radiant white.Her lips pressed into a delicate pout before releasing a soft, subtle breath. Thin smoke poured from her, drifting into every corner of the cramped space.Every ghoul that had crawled inside stopped in its tracks, frozen in place at the mere touch of that pale veil.A second later, light burst through the entire space, blinding Taffy. She screamed again in shock. When she finally opened her eyes, she was left panting, her terror melting into relief at the sight before her.The ghouls that had entered the burrow were gone.Only a trail of gray dust floated around them.But outside, the shrieking didn’t stop. More ghouls still crowded the opening.Taffy turn

    Little Taffy grabbed hold of the woman who had saved her, clinging to her like a lifeline. She was the only thing making the child feel safe amid all the chaos around them. She was certain she would remain protected by the dirty gray werewolf as long as she held on.But the safety she felt began to rot away with every passing second.The woman was growing colder in her arms.Not just weak. Not just still.Cold.The kind of cold that reminded Taffy of dead things left out in the night.“Mister Alfred, help! I don’t think your lady is okay!”She whimpered, her voice trembling as she called out to the werewolf fending off the creatures. She couldn’t stay silent anymore. Fear coiled tightly in her chest. If she said nothing, the woman might die right in front of her.But there were too many monsters. Every time Alfred tried to fall back toward them, another ghoul lunged at him with snapping jaws and grasping claws.“Damn it all!”He cursed, forced to keep fighting as the swarm closed in

    Duncan stood his ground, fangs and claws bared for all of them to see. His mind was on overdrive, processing every action he could take to keep them safe, because he could not shift into his full form.It was going to take him some time for his heat to subside and the knot connecting him and Selene

She hasn’t even completely turned yet.”Julieta was pull

She held her breath, remaining perfectly still while she embraced herself. Waiting, pra
