With horror, Jennifer locked eyes with him as he glared back in his feeble state, causing a shudder to run through her. “Why are you saying this?” She asked with a soft voice.“Just get out. I don’t need to eat anything,” Raymond ordered.Jennifer shook her head, adamantly refusing to go out. Her heart was filled with care and concern for him, making it impossible to fathom staying away now that he was sick. “No. I won’t go out.”He closed his eyes as if he was controlling his anger.“You better get out before I do something to you.”“Raymond, why are you behaving like this? What did I do? I made porridge because Robin told me to do so.”Raymond cleared his throat to let out his voice. “Get out.”Jennifer stood defeated in the presence of the man. She did not want his health to make him nauseous again. With deliberate slowness, she rose from the bed, bringing the tray with her. Kneeling on the floor, she retrieved the spoon that had fallen during the commotion. The spilled porridge

Jennifer was deeply upset by his soft tone, and his words left her utterly speechless, giving her a distinct feeling that he regarded her as someone else. “R-Raymond,” she called.“Don’t go. I will make everything right. Don’t be afraid of others,” He assured her as his eyes were half opened. After releasing his grip on her wrist, he cupped her cheek and gently stroked it with the tip of his thumb.“Raymond, what are you saying? You are not in your right mind. Just sleep, okay?” She replied as she ran her fingers through his hair.Eventually, he closed his eyes and went back to sleep, still keeping his hand on her face. Captivated by his appearance, her mind raced with a constant stream of thoughts. Jennifer suddenly realized that she hardly knew Raymond. Thoughts raced through her mind, wondering who he was referring to and who played a significant role in shaping him into the person he had become. His speaking seemed to suggest a deep connection with someone close to him. Jennif

Jennifer’s entire body trembled uncontrollably, her knees felt like rubber, and fear raced through her heart. She was aware of Alpha Raymond’s notorious reputation for icy and cruel demeanor. People used to speak about him in hushed and fearful tones. Yet, she had always believed that his cold treatment of her was the worst aspect of his behavior until she witnessed him taking a person’s life right before her.Without a second thought, he ended the maid’s life. Jennifer knew Lina had attempted to harm him, but the brutality with which he took her life was beyond anything she could have imagined. The shock and horror made her shiver inside, causing her to retreat until her back was pressed against the cold instinctively, unyielding wall.“Jennifer,” Delta Brian called out, pulling her gaze away from one official to the next. She couldn’t comprehend how they could remain so composed. Why didn’t they stop Raymond? It seemed they were no different from him—equally brutal and indifferent.

There was confusion in her eyes. What was he talking about? His recovery? Her staying with him after that? Or something else?“Alpha,” she began.“Finish eating and go to sleep. We will leave tomorrow morning,” Raymond interrupted.“Tomorrow?” she asked, surprised.“Yeah.”“Okay.”Jennifer didn’t want to leave. Hadn’t they planned to stay for a week? Yet, they were leaving after only three days. However, she couldn’t risk his life again. He had almost died two days ago. Leaving this place soon seemed like the best option.As he made his way to the bedroom, Jennifer fixed her gaze on him. After finishing her meal, she washed the dishes, determined not to wake up late the next day.“Let’s go, Jennifer. Your honeymoon period is over. Such horrible memories you have created here,” she told herself.As she approached the couch, she considered going to the bedroom to get her pillow and blanket. However, when she entered the room, she was shocked to find scattered pieces of glass on the floo

Raymond entered the pack house, a determined look on his face. The first thing he sought was Mason. He turned his head to Alpha Mark and Sandra, questioning, “Where is Mason?”“Alpha, he’s in his room,” Sandra replied sweetly.“I think it’s time to teach him some manners. The head Alpha came back from outside. Everyone is here to welcome him, but he’s busy in his room,” Raymond expressed with annoyance.“Sandra, go and call him now,” Alpha Mark ordered his wife.Sandra nodded and hurried to Mason’s room. After a few minutes, Mason came out, standing nervously in front of Raymond, stealing glances at Beta Justin and Jennifer.Jennifer avoided eye contact, so he lowered his head and greeted Raymond. “Alpha.”“Where were you? I heard you’re too free these days?” Raymond inquired.“No, Alpha. I was thinking about working somewhere,” Mason explained.“Where?”“In some land, if you give me permission,” Mason replied.Raymond nodded, then looked at his officials, silently conveying something
