"Eloise, why are you crying?" Ainsley sat up and reached out to hug her.Eloise subconsciously pushed him away. Realizing her reaction, she quickly explained, "I had a nightmare."Ainsley sighed in relief and said, "Don’t be afraid. I’m here."He pulled the blanket over her and held her close. She fell asleep again in his arms.Maybe it was exhaustion, or pain. But for the first time in days, she slept beside Ainsley.Ainsley’s deep gaze flicked to the fruit knife in the corner. He stared at it for a long time, then looked down.He turned off the light, lay back down, and held Eloise even tighter.Three things demanded his attention:The first was uncovering the truth about Aura’s death.The second, securing a child to keep Eloise by his side.The third, the villa was locked down under strict security. Yet somehow, someone had given Eloise those birth control pills. And why? What was their motive?............."Go away," Ainsley said to Alex, his voice devoid of emotion.Alex frowned

Alex hesitated, then nodded. “Aura told me once. She said she only wanted to threaten Eloise and take some photos to scare her away from Ainsley. She swore she would never let the bandits touch her. She just… wanted Eloise to leave. I thought she was joking. Aura was always so shy.”Elijah closed his eyes, his hands curling into fists. With a sharp exhale, he tossed the document in front of Alex. “Remember this, I’m not doing this for you. I’m doing it for Aura’s reputation and how she will be remembered in Alpha Ainsley’s heart. I won’t mention what I saw tonight.”Then he turned on his heel and walked away. But his face was pale. The storm in his heart was unbearable. As he descended the stairs, voices drifted toward him. His breath hitched. His foot slipped slightly on the step, but he caught himself before falling.Eloise had her back to him. At the noise, she turned, locking eyes with him. Elijah’s heart skipped a beat. A strange, unexpected guilt twisted inside him.He forced hi

Pamela trembled, her fingers tightening around Gary’s wrist, the veins on the back of her pale hand visibly strained. Her eyes held a flicker of reluctance. In a trembling voice, she whispered, "Gary, are we really going to do this? Eloise is our daughter!""Do you think I want to do this?" Gary raked his fingers through his hair in frustration, his voice rising in an impatient roar. "What else can I do, Pamela? Eloise is my daughter too! But if I had any other choice, do you think I’d be this ruthless?""But..." Pamela's hesitation lingered."Pamela, remember, everything we do is for the Golden Moon Pack!" Gary's voice turned cold, his jaw tightening."People might see us as strong, but you know our real situation. Do you want to watch our pack decline? I refuse to let Richard inherit a ruined Golden Moon Pack! And Eloise… what kind of life does she even have? She doesn’t have a wolf. What future is there for her? In a way, we’re helping her end her suffering."Meanwhile, Ethan led Ra

While Ainsley confronted Gary, Eloise was jolted awake by a sudden, biting splash of cold water. The shock sent shivers down her spine, her body convulsing against the freezing sensation.A dim, flickering lamp swung overhead, its weak light casting distorted shadows on the cracked concrete walls. The air smelled of damp wood, rust, and rotten.Eloise's vision blurred as she blinked away, the water stinging her eyes. She instinctively tried to lift her hand to shield herself from the harsh light, but the sharp pull of ropes biting into her wrists stopped her. Her hands were bound tightly behind her back, her ankles secured to the legs of a wooden chair.A slow, mocking voice cut through the silence.“You’ve finally woken up.”Eloise turned her head and met a pair of furious eyes. Then, she laughed.It wasn’t a soft chuckle or an amused giggle. It was hollow. Cold. Almost cruel.Alex’s expression darkened instantly. “How the fuck are you still laughing?!” he snapped, his voice filled wi

Eloise had grown up with her grandfather, while Harry preferred to stay with his parents.Once, her grandfather gave her a ruby. She was delighted, she loved shiny things. Holding the gem up to the sunlight, she admired the way it glowed. But before she could fully enjoy it, Harry tried to snatch it away. Reflexively, she pushed him back. She hadn’t used much force, yet he still fell to the ground.A maid witnessed the scene and immediately scolded her.“You spoiled little girl with no parents! How could you push Harry like that?”Eloise was stunned. The words stung, but more than that, she didn’t understand.She looked up at the maid and asked, “I have a father and a mother. Why would you say that?”The maid seemed just as startled by her own words. She pursed her lips before hurriedly responding, “You’ve always been with your grandfather. You’re not close to Alpha Gary and Luna Pamela. I was just worried when I saw Harry fall and said something foolish. Eloise, don’t tell your grandf
