Semua Bab Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection : Bab 171 - Bab 180

Ainsley’s body tensed as the warmth in his arms shifted.Something was off!.His eyes snapped open, and in the dim glow of the room, he caught sight of Eloise, her legs dangling off the side of the bed, her slender frame slipping from his grasp.Before she could touch the floor, he reached out and grabbed her wrist, yanking her back with force. Eloise let out a sharp gasp as she was pulled against his chest. Without hesitation, he repositioned her, forcing her down onto his lap."You really have no sense of fear, do you?" Ainsley’s voice was low, edged with warning.Eloise struggled, twisting in his grip. “Let me go!”Ainsley’s jaw tightened. Without another word, his palm landed on her backside with a sharp smack.Eloise froze. A second later, she realized what had just happened."Stop! Stop it!" she cried, her breath shaky.Ainsley exhaled slowly, his control razor-thin as he dragged his hand over the curve of her ass, his fingers teasing the heated skin.“Do you dare to run from me

Ainsley turned his head, his sharp gaze piercing through the dimly lit study. Hank remained on his knees, his body tense.“I told you to look into things from three years ago.” Ainsley’s voice was calm, yet it held a quiet storm. His fingers drummed against the report on his desk, his expression darkening. “Hank, do you still think no one knows about it?”The weight of his words sent a chill down Hank’s spine. Ainsley tapped the report again. Once, twice...the sound was eerily sharp in the heavy silence. His jaw tightened. “I think they found out the moment you made a move. See? The proof here is perfect.”Ainsley’s mind churned with unanswered and unsettling questions. Why did Grandpa make that decision three years ago?His fingers curled into a fist as frustration gnawed at him. What happened three years ago? It haunted him, a relentless shadow. But even if it concerned the entire pack, there was no reason, none, that justified killing a pack member and framing Eloise of the Golden M

“Miss Anthony!” Samantha snapped, shoving the dress toward Eloise’s hands.Eloise recoiled, her eyes narrowing as if the dress itself was repulsive. Her stomach twisted in disgust. The sight of the pristine white fabric made her want to scream. It was sickening and offensive.Before she could stop herself, she waved her hands in the air, desperate to shove the dress away.Then, something unexpected happened.In the struggle, Eloise’s hands shoved against Samantha with more force than intended. The stylist gasped as she stumbled backward.A sharp intake of breath filled the room, the silence.Eloise froze. Samantha hit the ground with a graceless thud, her coat flaring open as she landed. The impact wasn’t hard, but it was awkward, undignified.A split second later, two buttons popped off Samantha’s blouse, tumbling onto the floor with small, hollow clicks. The delicate fabric parted, revealing the soft swell of her cleavage.A beat of silence stretched.Samantha’s breath hitched. Her e

Alex's eyes widened. He looked at the phone, unable to believe what had just happened.Ellison had hung up. Just like that.How could Ellison just hang up on me?Fury surged through Alex. His breath turned ragged as his grip tightened on the phone. Then, with a sudden, violent motion, he grabbed the nearest object and smashed it against the wall. The sound of shattering glass echoed through the room, but it wasn’t enough to calm the storm inside him."Ellison!" he roared. "If you hadn’t intervened, my sister Aura wouldn’t have died!"His chest heaved as anger consumed him.And now Ellison wants to get rid of everything? His eyes burned with rage. I will never allow that!His thoughts twisted like a viper coiling around its prey. If those scoundrels had really returned to Metrocity, it was only a matter of time before Alpha Ainsley found them. What will happen to Aura’s reputation once the truth comes out?The thought alone sent a fresh wave of fury through him. His grip on the phone tu

When Lucian pulled out the cigarette case, he also pulled out a lighter. Before he could react, Eloise snatched both from his hands. Lucian froze, his brows furrowing. “What are you doing?”Eloise stepped back, lit the cigarette with an almost lazy flick of her wrist, and took a slow, deep drag. White smoke curled from her lips as she exhaled, her sharp gaze cutting through the haze.“Alpha Astra,” Her voice dripped with mockery. “What do you really know about me? You don’t even know that I smoke, yet you assume the woman standing in front of you isn’t a gold digger?”She tilted her head, amusement flickering in her eyes as she observed his stunned expression. The swirling smoke wrapped around her like a veil, magnifying the cool disdain on her face.At that moment, she looked like a woman who had played this game before, who had seen men fall at her feet and had never once cared.She looked down at Lucian as if he were a foolish boy chasing something he could never truly have. “Go a
