Avery Elise’s P. O. V.I was walking down the stairs when Duke glanced in my direction and his eyes focused on me. I felt conscious because his emotionless face never changed, but I saw when his lips slightly parted open before he regain his cold and serious composure again.I wanted to smile at myself because I somehow got his attention, but before I can even do that, I already caught myself. Why do I feel happy knowing that in a short span of time, Duke gave his attention to me?His looks could also mean that I don’t look presentable enough in his eyes.When I stood in front of Duke, he looked at me from head to toe before he avoided his eyes on me and cleared his throat.“Let’s go,” he said before he encircled his arm on my waist.I looked at him with a confused look before I walk beside him out of the mansion.“Where are we going?” I asked in a low tone of my voice.Duke guided me to enter his limousine. When I’m already inside, I saw Tiffany from the second floor of the mansion w

Avery Elise’s P. O. V.I started walking towards there, but even before I could reach the door, Duke’s bodyguards stood in front of me, stopping me from entering the room.I started feeling the fear inside me while looking at their g*ns. Though they weren’t pointing it to me, I feel like they can point it to me anytime, especially if I would insist on entering that room.But I can’t just stand here and do nothing. What if something already happened to Duke? He’s my husband and I shouldn’t be just waiting here! “Let me in,” I coldly said while thinking negatively about my husband’s health.I know that the Myers Mafia had always been known for their power and strength, but they have their limits, too. Despite my cold voice, they didn’t sway or even flinch upon hearing me. How did I forget? Mafia is already known for its hard attitude.“I said let me in!” I hissed at them, but they wouldn’t really move to let me go through. “Are you deaf?!”I’m already about to cry in worry for my husb

Avery Elise’s P. O. V.“We were interrupted last night. What do you think of doing it tonight, hmm?” He brushed his lips into mine.“I-I think…” I pushed him away from me. “It’s better if we will rest tonight. I know you’re tired already, you did a lot of work today and you will also have training tomorrow, right?”“Who told you about the training?” Duke slowly got up so I did the same.“I heard the maids when I was on my way here,” I sat straight while moving my feet on the floor. “I heard that it always took you hours and sometimes from sunrise to evening whenever you would hold a training session.”I saw him nodding his head at me before he stood up and offered me his hand. I hesitantly accepted his hand and let him guide me to stand in front of him.“What time would your class be?” He asked before he tucked my hair behind my ear. “And how long will it take?”“Ah…” I looked around while thinking about my schedule. “From seven in the morning to twelve in the afternoon is my schedule

Tiffany’s P. O. V.“Our Lycan Queen was so considerate! I thought she was a cold and heartless rogue like her sister, but I’ve judged her wrongly. She was better than Valerie Catalina!” I heard one of the maids say while proudly smirking to herself.“Imagine, she sacrificed her own education just to look after us and commit more to her duty as our Lycan Queen! No one else could’ve done such a thing other than her!”“I’ve heard from my colleague outside that our Lycan Queen has always been devoted to her studies. Her batch mates are always jealous of her high grades and every man in their university always wanted to court her.” She looked at the other maids after wiping the lamp. “But our Lycan Queen doesn’t seem to notice that she’s adored and loved by many in their university. They said that she’s always aloof to everyone and wouldn’t make even one friend!”“That only means that she’s more focused on where she’s supposed to be responsible! A kind of woman like that is very suited to

Avery Elise's P. O. V.Beta Koby looked at me, as if he was waiting for me to say something and oppose Morgan's decision. I secretly panic inside me as I don't know what to do or say.And Morgan doesn't seem like a person who would listen to me if I oppose her decision. What should I do? I looked into Beta Koby's eyes with hesitation inside me. I felt the feeling of failure surge through me as he eyed me with disappointment. It was a familiar sight, but the feeling of pain would always be the same.I failed. Again. And would always fail."No," Beta Koby's clear decision was heard from all over the place.No one spoke for the next seconds, until we all heard Morgan's sarcastic laugh. I glanced at her direction and saw her looking at Beta Koby with a sharp look in her eyes."What did you say?" Morgan slowly stood up in her seat."Morgan." Chairman Myers' voice was strict when he spoke to Morgan but she didn't pay him any attention. "Morgan, sit down!""No, you said," She slowly started
