spanng="EN"I heard scrambling and cursing from above. Panic flooded through me as I rushed toward the exit.

spanng="EN"Thanks to Matthew’s training, even without the wolf, my movements remained swift and light.

spanng="EN"I stood at the manor’s entrance, gripping the door frame as I vomited. My stomach, which had barely any food to begin with, expelled everything along with bile, burning my throat.

spanng="EN"I felt a piercing gaze fixed on me, so I looked up to search for it.

spanng="EN"In the middle of the road, a figure caught my eye, and I froze. My heart stopped beating for a moment.

spanng="EN"After six years apart, I had never imagined I would encounter him under such circumstances.

spanng="EN"The man stood straight and tall like a sturdy pine tree. His face was carved with knife–like determination.

spanng="EN"His sharp eyes seemed to see through everything, piercing my very soul. His healthy wheat–colored skin was particrly striking under the streetlights.

spanng="EN"I silently called out in my heart: “Killian.”

spanng="EN"He was Matthew’s most prized lieutenant, a god–like existence in our organization. My former partner–Killian Vance.

spanng="EN"The two of us locked eyes across the distance. Each had thousands of words to say but kept everything unspoken.

spanng="EN"Those of us who have been trained all understand that when meeting in unfamiliar ces, do not engage in conversation.

spanng="EN"(God’s POV)

spanng="EN"Olivia understood that Killian must have been assigned other tasks by Matthew. She said nothing and turned to leave.

spanng="EN"Her shoulders were rigid with pain and humiliation. Every step looked like it cost her tremendous effort.

spanng="EN"The two walked into the nearby café one after the other. They sat at tables several seats apart, gazing at each other from a distance.

spanng="EN"There was a rotating dartboard in the café. Olivia got up and yed darts for a while, her movements precise despite her emotional state.

spanng="EN"Then she ordered a cup of coffee and brushed lightly past the man from behind as she left. Her fingers grazed his shoulder for just a moment.

spanng="EN"After Olivia left, Killian also stood up to y darts. His movements were careful and deliberate.

spanng="EN"He saw that Olivia had used the darts to mark points on the dartboard. Each point represented a coordinate in their old code system.

spanng="EN"He used his phone to input these coordinates, his fingers flying over the screen. The message decoded: “Fine, don’t worry  about me.”

spanng="EN"Killian gripped his phone tightly, his knuckles white. His eyes were deep and dark, watching Olivia walk toward the door.

spanng="EN"But she didn’t look fine at all. She looked broken.

spanng="EN"Theodore came downstairs fully dressed, his hair disheveled and his shirt hastily buttoned. He found the front door wide open.

spanng="EN"There was a pool of vomit at the entrance, but no one in sight. The smell made him wrinkle his nose in disgust.

spanng="EN"He frowned deeply. This was a top–tier estate where only high–ranking pack members lived.

spanng="EN"The security was strict and wouldn’t allow outsiders toe and go freely. Who could have been here?

spanng="EN"ra came downstairs dressed, her makeup smudged and her dress wrinkled. She handed him the silver–headed cane.

spanng="EN"“The cane was dropped on the stairs,” she said nervously. “Did any ruffians appear?”

spanng="EN"Just as Theodore was saying he would have security check the surveince footage, a tabby cat emerged from the bushes.

spanng="EN"It meowed pitifully as it jumped into ra’s arms. She was startled, thenughed with relief.

spanng="EN"“So it was this little troublemaker,” sheined affectionately, stroking the cat’s fur.

spanng="EN"ra took Theodore’s hand and ced it on her full breasts. They were still warm and flushed from their earlier activities.

spanng="EN"She rubbed against him like a cat in heat. Her eyes were heavy–lidded with renewed desire.

spanng="EN"“I want to go back to the room with you,” she purred seductively.

spanng="EN"The drug’s effects, not yetpletely dissipated, surged through Theodore’s heart again. His eyes became dark with lust.

spanng="EN"He grabbed ra’s hair and yanked her back roughly. She gasped and arched against him.

spanng="EN"With one hand gripping ra’s neck, he pressed her down on the sofa. He tore open her dress with his free hand.

spanng="EN"“You w***e,” he growled. “I just pulled out and you’re already in heat wanting me to f**k you?”

spanng="EN"But just as Theodore was about to enter her again, the wolf in his mind stirred restlessly. Logan paced anxiously, whimpering.

spanng="EN"This was a feeling he had never experienced before. Something was wrong, terribly wrong.

spanng="EN"Theodore felt a wave of unease wash over him. He pushed ra away abruptly, leaving her sprawled on the sofa.

spanng="EN"“That business with the urn,” he said coldly, his voice cutting through the air. “I’ll settle ounts with you sooner orter!”

spanng="EN"ra’s face went pale. She was puzzled and didn’t understand why he suddenly brought up what happened before again.

spanng="EN"She opened her mouth to protest, but Theodore was already walking away.

spanng="EN"Theodore walked out of the vi and along the road, his steps quick and agitated.

spanng="EN"Suddenly he saw a familiar figure walking away with a man. The woman’s posture was unmistakable – it was Olivia.

spanng="EN"He followed their figures into a coffee shop, his heart pounding with sudden jealousy and suspicion.

spanng="EN"His Alpha instincts made him alert. That man’s gaze hadn’t left Olivia since entering the coffee shop.

spanng="EN"The stranger looked at her with an intensity that made Theodore’s blood boil. There was something possessive in those eyes.

spanng="EN"Jealousy made Theodore lose his rationalitypletely. He didn’t even have time to think about why Olivia was there.

spanng="EN"Or whether she had been at the manor gate before. All he could see was another man looking at his mate.

spanng="EN"He pushed open the coffee shop door with such force it mmed against the wall. The other patrons looked up in rm.

spanng="EN"Theodore pulled Olivia behind him roughly and threw a punch at Killian. “Bastard, what are you staring at my mate for?”
