Chapter 141 GIVING ME A SURPRISE

CLAIRE'S POV:Theo and I had such a blissful night and we just couldn't have enough of each other after we discovered we were mates.Saturday morning came with a kind of calm I hadn’t felt in years. I woke up to the smell of coffee and toasted bread drifting in from the kitchen. Stretching under the soft sheets, I smiled to myself, knowing Theo's mansion will officially be mine too.I padded into the kitchen barefoot, hair a little messy, and found him at the counter, pouring coffee like it was the most natural thing in the world for a man of his status.“Good morning, sleepyhead,” he teased, glancing up with that half-smile of his.I rubbed my eyes. “You’re up so early. And cooking too?”“It’s just eggs and toast, Claire. I’m not exactly hosting a cooking show,” he replied with a chuckle, sliding a plate toward me.“Still,” I said, sitting down. “I’m impressed. The great Theo Valmont, billionaire extraordinaire, making breakfast by himself. That’s something I’ll brag about one day.”

Chapter 142 MEET MY COLLEGE SWEETHEART

CLAIRE'S POV:My eyes widened. “What? No way. I’ll crash it before we even leave the lot!”“You won’t,” he said with complete confidence. “I trust you.”I hesitated, then laughed nervously. “Fine. But if I scratch it, that’s on you.”“That’s on me,” he agreed.True to his word, Theo told his driver to take the SUV back home alone. He walked around to the passenger side of my new Porsche and slid in casually, while I gripped the wheel like it was a piece of fragile glass.“Relax,” he murmured, placing his hand on mine over the gear. “It’s just a car. Drive.”I started the engine, the soft hum filling me with adrenaline. As we rolled out of the showroom, I couldn’t help but laugh. “Oh my God, I can’t believe this is happening.”Theo chuckled. “Believe it. And get used to it.”The car glided smoothly onto the road, and I kept glancing at him. “So… tell me more about it. What’s so special about this car?”He leaned back, his voice low and teasing. “It’s fully electric, goes from zero to s

Chapter 143 CLAIRE'S SUSPICION

CLAIRE'S POV:I drove the car back to the estate and packed it in the garage. Theo helped me carry the shopping bag as we walked into the mansion.When we got to the living room, he sank on the couch but I proceeded to the bedroom. Once there, I slipped into the gym outfit I’d packed away earlier. It was a pair of tight leggings, a sports bra, and my sneakers. I then tied my hair into a ponytail.I didn’t even bother looking at Theo when I passed him slumped on the living room couch. He looked like a man carrying the weight of the world, and frankly, I didn’t want to get pulled into it. Not now. My head was buzzing, my body restless.I needed to burn it off.So, I headed to the gym and pushed open the glass doors to Theo’s mansion gym and stepped inside. The place was enormous, furnished with machines that lined up like soldiers, mirrors that covered every wall, and the faint hum of the air-conditioning blending with the rhythmic sound of my shoes on the floor.I went straight to the

Chapter 144 ADRIAN IN THE DANCE FLOOR

CLAIRE'S POV:The bass from the speakers was already vibrating through my chest as Theo and I stepped into the club. Neon lights flashed across the room in shifting shades of red, purple, and gold.The scent of sweat, alcohol, and wolf pheromones mingled in the air, overwhelming at first, but strangely intoxicating too. I clutched Theo’s hand tighter as we pushed through the crowded dance floor.Theo leaned down, his lips brushing against my ear so I could hear him over the music.“Stay close to me, babe. Clubs can get messy.”I smirked, tilting my head toward him. “Messy how? You think someone’s going to kidnap me in a place like this?”“Not when I’m around,” he responded with a smirk of his own. “But this place is crowded. I don't want to start looking for you or something.”We made our way to a VIP booth near the edge of the club where three men already sat, drinks in hand. They were all tall, broad-shouldered—wolves, clearly Alphas too. They greeted Theo like old friends.“Theo!”

Chapter 145 THEO IS WAY HOTTER THAN ADRIAN

CLAIRE'S POV:I hummed to myself as I folded the freshly ironed blouse and placed it neatly on my bed. My black heels gleamed from the polish I had applied minutes ago, and my laptop bag looked spotless after I had dusted every corner.Preparing for Monday always felt like a ritual, not to mention that I haven't gone to work for weeks.Just as I was smoothing down my pencil skirt, the front door creaked open and Jennifer walked in, dragging her suitcase behind her. The door to my bedroom was open and I could see her from there.She looked radiant, like weekends at her parents’ house always breathed new life into her.“Claire!” she called, kicking off her flats and stepping into my room. “What are you up to? Looks like you’re staging a fashion show in here.”I laughed, holding up another silk blouse. “Not a fashion show. Just getting my outfits ready for work for the entire week. Back to the grind at Valmont Corporation.”Her eyes widened. “I’m glad you finally made up your mind to get

Chapter 146 THE RETURN TO VALMONT CORP

CLAIRE'S POV:Walking back into Valmont Corporation on Monday morning felt like stepping into a war zone, only this time, I wasn’t the same woman who had left months ago.I moved with confident steps as I stepped into the corporate building that housed Valmont Corp, the clicking of my heels announcing my presence. A few heads turned to see me, especially when I slammed the door of my new Porsche closed. Some of them were wide eyed, while some whispered. But I kept my chin high.I wasn’t just Claire White, the vulnerable girl anyone could walk on anymore. I was Theo Valmont’s mate. Though I don't have his mark on my neck yet, that didn't stop the confidence that came with such a unique bond.The stares didn’t sting like before. Before I left home, I already made up my mind to ignore all the gossip. Let them wonder.“Claire?” a voice called softly from behind.I turned to see Amelia, one of the junior researchers, blinking at me as if she had seen a ghost. “You’re… back?”I smiled faint

Chapter 147 THEO SUPPORTS CLAIRE'S NEW IDEA

CLAIRE'S POV:The room went utterly silent.I adjusted my notes and tried to keep my hands from trembling as the board members stared at me. It was my first day back after months away. I knew everyone still remembered the whispers, the gossip, and the accusations.“Miss White,” Charles Denton’s sharp voice cut across the long table. “You’ve spoken for almost twenty minutes and all I hear is more spending. I still think that twenty million dollars is too much for this project. Do you even realize what you’re asking this company to risk?”I swallowed. “Yes, I do. And I believe…”“You believe,” he mocked, leaning back in his chair, “but do you know? Your department already used up a good share of last year’s budget, and now you come with this fairytale solution. We’re scientists, Miss White, not gamblers.”Heat rushed to my face, but I didn’t let myself flinch. “This is not a gamble. The current research model has reached a bottleneck. If we keep trying the same thing, we’ll waste more m

Chapter 148 CLAIRE'S NEW BEGINNING

CLAIRE'S POV:I couldn’t believe it. After that board meeting, my idea had been approved. Of course, Theo’s support had been the deciding factor. Without him, Charles would’ve torn me to shreds, and the others would’ve followed like sheep. But Theo had stood tall, defended me, and made sure the project got the green light.Now, here I was, standing in my small office, staring at the folders spread across my desk. I felt both excitement and fear. Twenty million dollars wasn’t a small amount, and I was suddenly responsible for leading a whole team.Well, this was my first time and given the volume of the amount about to be invested in this project, I couldn't help but have a bit of anxiety.“Miss White?” a soft knock came at my door.I looked up to see Amelia, my new assistant, peeking in. “The finance department just sent word. Half of the funds have been disbursed into the research account. The rest will be released once progress is reviewed.”My heart skipped. “Half already?”She nod

Chapter 149 THE FIRST TRIAL

CLAIRE'S POV:I pushed the safety goggles up on my face and stared at the rows of vials lined neatly on the steel table. My heartbeat was faster than normal and I couldn't tell if it's from nerves or the weight of running my first trial test.“Alright, team,” I said, glancing at everyone. “This is it. The first trial test for the Eclipse Syndrome and Luna Poisoning cure.”Dr. Hayes gave me a small encouraging smile from across the table. “You’ve been working hard on this for a few weeks now. It takes hard work setting this up, Miss White. We’re ready when you are.”Beside him, Dr. Patel was flipping through the notes on his tablet, his glasses slipping down his nose as usual. “We’ll have to document every reaction carefully,” he muttered. “Even the smallest changes.”“Of course,” I said.The younger assistants were already checking the equipment. The centrifuge was adjusted, the sterile syringes was prepared, and Amelia typed something quickly on her laptop, logging in the start time.

Chapter 150 VISITING MY FATHER

CLAIRE'S POV:I woke up that Saturday morning feeling a strange pull in my chest. It had been weeks since I visited my parents. Between late nights in the lab and endless meetings with my research team, I had lost track of time. But I couldn’t push it aside anymore. I needed to see my dad.I stood in front of my closet, staring at my clothes. “There’s no need to wear something fancy,” I muttered to myself. “I’m only going to see my Dad.”So I pulled on a pair of jeans, a soft cream blouse, and my sneakers. I packed my hair into a ponytail and looked at myself in the mirror. I didn't even bother to apply makeup. My eyes were tired, a little darker than usual from working too hard, but I forced myself to smile.On my way to the hospital, I stopped by a flower shop and bought white lilies. They were Dad’s favorite. I still remembered how he always said lilies reminded him of calm mornings by the lake, fishing rod in hand, the world quiet and still.By the time I reached the hospital, my
