My fingertips slid over the firm, taut muscles of Lionel's chest, and I felt the heat on his skin. His burning gaze lit a fire through me, and my breathing gradually turned ragged and erratic.I swallowed and averted my eyes before murmuring, "Keep it down. Franz is in the next room.""I haven't done anything yet," Lionel said, gripping my ass and hauling me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist automatically to keep my balance. "Besides, are you trying to make me jealous by bringing him up at this moment?" Lionel cooed as he nipped on my earlobe."I... I'm not... Mmm..." He kneaded my breast roughly, as though trying to punish me for my words, before turning his touches to be gentle as he pinched and rubbed my hardened nipples.I couldn't help but let out an embarrassing moan at his actions. As he continued, I wanted to scream loudly, but thinking about how Franz would hear me, I forced myself to hold it in."Don't hold back. I want to hear you," Lionel's deep voice rang in my ear

Everything seemed to freeze for a moment, and the only sound I could hear was my thundering heartbeat. I sucked in a breath of cold air, and my body went stiff. I didn't know what to do or how to explain anything to Franz.Naturally, I couldn't react. Quick as lighting, Lionel swept me up and carried me back into our bedroom, closing and locking the door.I gasped raggedly, and Lionel snapped his fingers in my ear."Have you come back to your senses?" Lionel asked softly.I was stunned and turned to see a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "Why were you afraid when I was around? I wouldn't let anyone see you in this state," Lionel said reassuringly as he ran his hand down my shoulder. "Relax. Don't be scared, okay?"I let out a deep, shaky breath and gradually calmed down.After I relaxed, my body felt strange. Perhaps it was because of the way Lionel held me or that his dick was still buried inside me. I twisted around to look at him, and his face was flushed. His breathing was noti

Rylee's POVLionel had assigned me a driver and two bodyguards. He told me I had to take them with me whenever I went out, as that was the only way he would be at ease.I didn't like the restriction on my freedom initially, but after some hesitation, I agreed.As I wandered around the mall, the two bodyguards with me were like a beautiful landscape that made people constantly glance at me.It was a good thing I had sunglasses and a mask to cover my face. Otherwise, I would have doubted and thought myself a rare animal on display in a zoo with all the attention I was getting.Just when I was considering which clothes to buy, I suddenly heard a loud commotion and someone screaming, "These things are costly, yet you left them here on the ground! Can you afford to pay for them if they get stolen?! I feed you and give you money to use, and this is how you work?!"A fierce, ugly old woman was reprimanding a young woman before her, and she even slapped her!I approached them and realized the

"Return to the Moon House?" Lionel said, furrowing his brows as he put down his cutlery."You don't agree?" I asked hesitantly.Franz snorted. "It'll be strange if he did! Well, some people are just full of secrets, aren't they? They're afraid of being stripped bare and exposed, you know?"Franz's words obviously implied something since Lionel's face darkened.I could guess that it might be related to my lost memories."It's not that I don't agree. It should be fine for Stacey and Ben to go. There's no need for you to follow them," Lionel stressed."But...""You're Luna, after all, so you should remain in the Pack to preside over matters. No one can guarantee there's no danger along the way, so it's safest for you to remain by my side.""That's some bullshit excuse there!" Franz snickered. "Don't listen to him, Rylee. If you want to go back there too, I'll accompany you," Franz said as he leaned closer to me, glowing with excitement. "Let me tell you. The Moon House is fascinating! We

"Rylee!" Lionel exclaimed in concern, reaching out to hold me up."W-Who are you?" I asked incredulously.Lionel was my mate. How could he betray me?"Hmm, seems like it's true what they're saying. Don't you remember me? My dear sister!" the woman smirked and said. "I'm Jenna."Je... Jenna?The familiar name sent a jolt of pain through me, and I suddenly felt my stomach churning. My head felt like it had been stabbed with hundreds of needles!Fragments of memories flooded my mind.In a haze, I saw a woman who looked like me standing in front of a closet as she casually rummaged through the clothes.The image shifted, and she was snuggling up in the arms of another man while giving me a smug look.Then, I saw her standing side by side with Lionel before a Moon Goddess statue, seemingly saying some kind of vow.Yet all of it disappeared suddenly, and a razor-sharp pair of scissors suddenly came stabbing me!"Ahhhhh!!!" I couldn't help but scream in fear!Lionel cradled me in his arms, c
