HERMIONE'S POVI raised my head, looking at Phoenix and stopped teasing looked with him.“You really don't have anything else that you want to say to me?” I asked while looking at him calmly.I wanted to just directly ask him why he was reluctant to mark me when the way he approached me right now was as if I was his beloved.I would be a fool to believe him because of the mixed signals he gave me.I want clarification.But I couldn't ask him.I want him to explain it to me. To take initiative to explain.Hah, I should not think too much about it.Phoenix looked at me with a smile and shook his head. “There's none.”I see.I nodded my head. “Okay then, get out.”His brows furrowed. “Why?”I shrugged my shoulders. “No reason. Just get out.”“But I don't want to,” he stubbornly said.“Up to you.” I added indifferently, and started to eat what he cooked.I wasn't surprised that the food he cooked was either too salty or bland.Yet I finished it all because I was so hungry.“Was it good?”

HERMIONE'S POVI let Phoenix carry me all the way to the office and it happened that we met Megan on the way.Upon seeing me, her eyes brightened and immediately went towards my direction, completely disregarding the fact I was being carried.“Alpha! You're finally here!” She took a deep breath and said, “I couldn't find Elizabeth since yesterday and I'm deeply worried about her. Plus the fact that there were rogues that were eyeing our pack too!”I wasn't surprised upon hearing her reports.“Elizabeth had something to take care of, which explains the reason why you couldn't find her.” I answered while looking at Megan, who let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this.Then, after she regained her mind, her eyes consciously glanced down at me and then they fell back on the man who was carrying me.A sly smile flashed on her lips and she couldn't help but to tease him. “So this is your mate... hm? He treats you very well but... it seemed not in bed.”I rolled my eyes and disregarded the

PHOENIX'S POVThe corner of my lips rose as I watched my little clumsy slave giving me a blow. I bit my lowerlip and tried to suppress my desire to push her head deeper and let my cock hit the inner of her throat.“Fuck... this is driving me crazy...” I hoarsely murmured as I grabbed her hair and pulled her out.Hermione's brows furrowed as she tilted her head. Her eyes had completely changed and it was all filled with desire.“You....you don't want me to do it?” I heard her softly say while rubbing her cheeks on my hand, making my eyes squint.It's not that I don't want her to continue giving me a blow, but it was because I might not be able to hold myself back from fucking her right here and now without loosening her up.I stiffened and looked at her with dark eyes. “Do you know what you're doing, hm?”Hermione looked at me and gave me a seductive smile as her soft hands wrapped my cock. “It's still up...”This woman would be the death of me.Fine, whatever.Let her do what she want

HERMIONE'S POVBy the time that I woke up, I saw a note that was probably left by Phoenix, since he was the only one who was in my room last night.I took it out and read.“I'll be away for days. I was called by my father to deal with the enemies who tried to attack my pack in order to steal the throne for me.”Once I'm done reading it out, I put it back on the table before I slowly climbed off the bed.It's a bit of a pity. There is no Phoenix who would lift me up and become my own transportation, but it couldn't be help.I climbed off bed and went to the bathroom to do my morning routine.Of course, I haven't forgotten about what had happened last night. It was different from when I was sober.He knew that I was in heat and I didn't have much control of my body because I let my own desires, my heat, control me instead.Who would have thought that he didn't go all the way and endured everything last night?And in order for me to sober up and let my heat disappear, he marked me comple

PHOENIX'S POVWhile I was dealing with a matter regarding my enemies from the other pack who were just waiting for my downfall so that they could take over my throne, plus those rogues who also kept on attacking my pack, I received a message from Denver which was delivered by our crowd.I took the white paper that was folded and attached to the crow's legs, then gave the crow some food before it flew away and started reading it.“Alpha King, the rogues had attacked your beloved's pack. Currently, there were more than a hundred rogues that attacked us and we killed half of them. For now, due to the circumstances that they have kidnapped those people from the other pack, your beloved woman was healing them since the doctor's energy was tired out.”Healing? If she healed a lot of injured patients, wouldn't she pass out from losing too much of her energy by giving it to those who were injured?“Where are you going again?” The moment I stood up, Don Ramon immediately asked and looked at me
