Jennifer sat up and looked at Raymond, her heart racing. His eyes were still glued to his laptop screen, seemingly unaware of her inner turmoil. She couldn’t shake off the feeling of unease. How did he know? Was he aware of her true identity too?“A-Alpha-“Looking at her, he asked, “Yes or no?” His icy stare conveyed his anger toward her. With no explanation to offer, she nodded in agreement and responded, “Yes, I was from the Blood Pearl pack. But now I am a member of this pack. I have no connection with that pack anymore.”He raised his brow when he heard her answer. “Then why did you lie when I asked you last night?”Jennifer bit her bottom lip and looked away from him. “I-I did not want to talk about that pack.”“Are you unwilling to discuss either the pack or its members?” he inquired, to which she remained silent, pondering her response. Eventually, her gaze shifted towards him as he remarked, “It seems like you’ve always been interested in the Alphas,” he stated. Caught off gu

Raymond maneuvered his wheelchair in reverse, returning to his room after having just finished his shower. He intended to head to his office just a few steps away from Luna’s office. Raymond didn’t anticipate eavesdropping on their conversation.Previously, Raymond had always regarded Jennifer as a greedy woman. However, what he overheard today presented a different perspective.Meanwhile, Jennifer swung the door open and forcefully nudged Nathan out of her office. “Leave my office! You’re leaving tonight, right? It’s better if you leave now.” With a resounding slam, she shut the door in his face.Jennifer let out a sigh, clutching her hair in her hands. Were it not for her grip on the desk, she might have succumbed to collapsing entirely. She couldn’t afford to display any vulnerability in front of Nathan. His actions were unforgivable. She couldn’t forgive a cheater, especially considering she was now married. How dare he lay a hand on her at any moment? And to speak ill of Raymond

The car was completely silent, leaving Jennifer eagerly awaiting Raymond’s response. Yet, to her dismay, nothing reached her ears. She pressed her lips together, understanding his fury all too well. After all, why wouldn’t he be angry? He had married her, only to discover she had a mate.With trepidation, she slowly turned to the right, glancing at Raymond. He stared back at her, his expression vacant, as though unaffected by the situation. However, his silence instilled a sense of fear within her. She swallowed hard, her heart pounding like a marathon, its thunderous beats seemingly audible even to him.“Al-Alpha?” She called with a shaken tone.“So he is your mate?” He finally let out. His chilly voice gave her goosebumps.As she observed their proximity, she realized how rarely they had been this near each other, except for those two nights. Her gaze gently traced his face, lingering on his lips, which appeared soft and rugged. The memory of their touch still lingered on her lips.

Jennifer returned to the bedroom after being outside in the breeze and feeling refreshed by her surroundings.Raymond appeared refreshed after his shower, showing no signs of fatigue. Jennifer wondered if he had slept in the car the previous night but had no clue.“Do you want to sleep? If so, I can ask the maid to prepare breakfast later,” she inquired.Shaking his head, he declared, “I don’t need sleep.” After uttering those words, he maneuvered his wheelchair to exit the room. Meanwhile, Jennifer headed to the bathroom to freshen up and dress hastily. Like him, she also didn’t require sleep and had slept through the entire night.As she stood in the shower, she couldn’t help but recall the sensation of waking up in his arms. Absentmindedly rubbing her arms, she shook her head, trying to push the thoughts away.“Stop dwelling on it,” she scolded herself. “What’s gotten into you, Jennifer? Just relax and go with the flow.”Suddenly, it became difficult for her to accept the reality t

Overwhelmed with emotions, Jennifer began to cry, feeling lost and unsure of what to do. Desperate to find a way out, she frantically looked around for a phone, only to realize that she hadn’t brought one along since Raymond had accompanied her. With no one to contact, she resolved to search for Raymond’s phone.“Where is your phone?” she exclaimed while rummaging through the room, hoping to locate it. Fortunately, her hand landed under Raymond’s pillow, where she discovered his phone. However, upon picking it up, she realized it was locked and required a fingerprint to unlock it. Determined, Jennifer grasped Raymond’s thumb and successfully unlocked the phone. Her trembling fingers quickly sought out Robin’s number and dialed it. “ROBIN!” Jennifer let out a piercing scream that jolted Robin as soon as the call connected. Alarmed, he urgently asked, “What happened, Jennifer?” “Robin, please do something. He-He..”“Calm down first, and tell me what happened?”Jennifer bit her lips
