บททั้งหมดของ Wish Granted: No Longer Your Luna: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

Ella's POVHe said it so matter-of-factly, as if I were just some ordinary employee in the business empire he ran.Edmund, standing right next to me, heard every word and awkwardly lowered his head.I let out a silent laugh. "Damien Gray, you've looked down on me from the very beginning. If that was the case, why did you even mark me back then?""You dragged me into your world, made me pledge my loyalty to you, and watched coldly as I foolishly loved you. Yet you never once cared about everything I sacrificed.""The mating bond was still tearing at me ruthlessly, but this time, I didn't cave," I thought."Want a handover? Sure, no problem. Once you get a new luna, have her come find me. As for the body wash, I'd figure a grown alpha should have the basic ability to take care of himself, right?"The line went silent for a second."What did you just say?" He practically roared the words.There it was again—his usual condescending tone. Back in the pack, whenever he lost his temper and u

Ella's POVThe products I developed definitely had a market, but I had been out of the industry for too long. Without any name recognition, it would be almost impossible to sell them for a decent price.When someone who has been disconnected from the academic circle for ages and lacks any real work experience steps up to the negotiating table, people won't even look them in the eye.But with James Locke's endorsement, the market valuation of the formulas in my hands would instantly skyrocket.He let out a scoff, his face full of disdain."Dream on. I am not risking my academic reputation to endorse your marketing campaign."I lowered my eyelashes, sighing silently.I remembered back at the werewolf academy, he used to take me to all sorts of industry networking events, introducing me to the top entrepreneurs in the circle.In my sophomore year, he recommended me for an internship, getting me involved in core pharmaceutical R&D projects early on.Back then, whenever he brought me up in

Ella's POVI was just about to explain when a military-green SUV pulled up in front of us.The window rolled down, revealing a face with sharp, chiseled features. The raw, cutting edge he carried from the Thornvalley pack was impossible to hide.It was my older brother, Zach. He hopped out of the car and flashed me a huge grin."How's that, Ella? Right on time, huh!"Zach was nearly six-foot-three. His shoulders and back were as wide as a brick wall, and his black t-shirt stretched tightly over his chest and biceps.He was my brother, and also a notoriously high-ranking warrior in the Thornvalleys.He walked right up to Nathan and held out his arms."Give her to me."I thought he was being incredibly rude and quickly shot him a look to remind him to play nice, but he completely ignored me.Nathan's hold on Lily paused for half a second before he carefully handed her over."Drive safe," he said to me, gently patting my head. "Call me when you get home.""Yeah," I nodded. "Thanks."Zach

Ella's POVHe turned his head to look at me with great effort, his voice breaking."What do you feed your daughter? An entire deer for every meal? How does she have so much stamina!""No," I said. "She eats the same things as any normal pup."He didn't buy it. Lifting an arm that wouldn't stop shaking, he held up two fingers.My heart tightened. "...What does that mean?""Two more classes," he stared at the ceiling like he was delivering his last words."Then send her to the advanced class. I've already taught her everything I know."Lily didn't really understand what we were talking about. She just knew the coach was lying down to rest.She squatted next to him and comforted him in a small voice, "You're actually really strong, Coach. Next time, I'll punch slower."After training, we walked out of the gym.Lily was still hyped up, throwing a couple of air punches as we walked. The sunlight caught her short golden curls perfectly.A black custom motorcycle was parked by the curb, its

Ella's POVA chill ran through my body. I walked over and picked up the receiver."You've been out of the pack for three weeks. Have you cooled off yet?"Damien's voice was lazy, like he was coaxing a child throwing a tantrum. In his eyes, the rejection document I handed over was probably just a laughable stack of scrap paper."Now, get into the white van outside the cafe. The driver will bring you back to the pack. I'll forgive you and pretend this whole breaking the mating bond thing never happened."I bit my lip hard."Those shares under your name, the house in Cedarhill, and the ocean-view villa—I'm taking them all back."Boiling blood rushed straight to my head, and I screamed, "Damien, you already signed the agreement!"He chuckled low on the other end of the line."Don't be so naive. Everything you have, I gave to you. What I give, I can take away.""But you already signed it!" I roared into the receiver."Sorry, but I can turn any signed document back into scrap paper." His to
