Elena’s mood changed, then she spoke sharply. “I know!”Gerald quickly grabbed his phone, his fingers trembling as he opened their chat log. He shoved the screen in front of Elena’s eyes.“I already spoke to him! Look! He asked me if you ended the pup. I told him yes! Regardless of what you decide, to keep the pup or not, he won’t discover it.”Her eyes locked on the screen’s light, combing through every word as though danger hid between the lines. It was only after the proof met her eyes that she reached for the wine Gerald had placed before her. She raised the glass, lips grazing the edge, and drank slowly.“Thank you,” she said quietly, her words melting softer than earlier.Gerald exhaled, relief softening him, as though a wolf’s paw pressing on him had finally lifted.Miles away, Drake perched on the bed’s edge, his phone gripped tightly in his hand. He fixed his eyes on the messages with Gerald, scorching each line. The words repeated in his head like a cruel chant.Elena ended

"I just… I don't want the child to have any connection with your family." Elena responded. She lifted her head, calm yet stubborn. "The arrival of this child was unexpected. If it hadn’t come, I would have chosen to live alone for the rest of my life. But it did… It is the only family I have left in this world. It is my fault the baby is illegitimate, and I will do my best to make up for it. But I cannot let the Farrington family down either. What I owe them… I cannot repay."Dolphus’s eyes glowed faintly and he met her gaze without flinching, then lifted his hand and removed his glasses, setting them aside. "We can register for marriage in Moscow. If you decide later you do not want the bond, we can dissolve it once the pup is born. If your grandfather finds out, I will take the blame, saying it was me trying to save you and the family name. Elena, I can bend on many things, but I will not allow my child to be born without a pack name. That is my bottom line. I hope you can respect t

"It's okay, wait for me outside," Elena reassured Anderson.The lawyer gave her a long look, but he obeyed. The heavy wooden door closed, leaving Elena alone in the private room with Drake.The air shifted the moment Barr. Anderson stepped out. Elena turned her face and locked her eyes on Drake. He had already started walking toward her, as though he wanted to test her patience."Didn't expect you to have such gangster behaviour," Elena said, but her eyes couldn’t hide the storm inside.Drake smirked faintly. "That's how I was before. You just hadn’t seen this side of me."When he came beside her, his hand stretched across the table for the ashtray. The cigarette burned under his touch, yet his eyes stayed locked on hers.Elena’s pupils trembled. She tried to stay steady and refused to give him the power of seeing her falter.Drake caught that change. His words came gentler, threaded with a quiet pull. “Yes… It’s clear to me now.” Like the nickname you gave me, ‘My Moon’. The ring I

A week ago, Farrington Group’s Base Station company was struck hard. The United States fined them two hundred million US dollars, and Canada added another hundred million Canadian dollars. The blow shook the foundation of the company. Dolphus, the decision-maker of Farrington Group, had no choice but to pull the pack’s business out of both American and Canadian markets. The weight of that decision rested heavily on his shoulders. He had to face the board and still give orders to his subordinates to keep the pack moving forward. The entire group was restless, the air filled with tension as every wolf rushed to handle their tasks. This time when Elena left, Dolphus refused to use his private jet. His instinct growled a warning that Elena might be targeted if she traveled that way. So he chose the safer path. At the airport, Elena crossed the security gate. His eyes followed her until she vanished into the crowd. After bidding her farewell, Richard left quickly, his duty pulling him

"When I saved someone back then, I never thought of rewards from them: Even if they were the second son of the Thompson family." Elena said. "I can keep silent about this, but if I accept money, once the fact that Cassandra’s lie to Damian was exposed, you can just expose the bill and push all the faults to me to protect Cassandra."Drake remained still as if scenting a threat. He stood in the doorway."You are here with a confidentiality agreement, are you not?" Elena’s smile did not change. "Drake, I have indeed misunderstood you before, you really disgust me: Why can't you let me be, since we've divorced and also severed our mate bond? Why do you have to tangle with your nasty ex mate? Can't you and Cassandra survive without me?"Drake’s face lost color. The words hit him with something sharper than shame. "Elena, are you trying to bring up this issue on social media?" His voice tried to be strong. Elena’s smile was light, but the air around her hummed. She felt the old hunger of
