"Don't you think it's quiet here? It's far away from the city. Whenever I am in a bad mood, I will come and sit for a while and look at the view by the lake," Annette said. She pointed at the sky. "Look," she said.Connor looked up. The night sky was beautiful."As long as I sit here and look at the beautiful night sky, I feel that it is good to be alive and that the future will be good. Don't you think?""Not really." He raised his eyebrows.She shrugged. "You think differently from poor people like me. No wonder I'm poor."He let out a laugh, which was quite rare.She looked at him in surprise. "Alpha Connor, I didn't know you also laugh."He asked, "Is there anyone in this world who can't laugh?""But I've never seen you laugh like this before.""Do you know me well?"Annette shrugged. She found the subject a bit self-deprecating.She took a sip of coffee and looked up at the night sky. It had been a long time since she had come to enjoy such a peaceful night.The surroundings sudd
"What are these?" Kyle quickly looked through the photos.The photos were taken in a dark valley. A tightly wrapped woman wearing a hat and mask was giving money to a man.Though the photos were taken from a distance, and it was dark, Kyle could still tell it was Lena from the last few photos that had zoomed on her face."It's proof. The day before yesterday, I was working at the convenience store when a jerk tried to hurt me. Alpha Connor saved me. The man admitted that he was paid to beat me, and no one but the one who paid him knew that I had met Alpha Connor that day. But now you do. And the photos are the proof."Kyle's expression changed greatly. He reached out and pulled her. He asked with a worried face, "Are you alright?"She removed his hand. "Kyle, I didn't expect you to be such a liar after you were with Lena.""I am not with Lena. I don't like her." Kyle frowned. Then he said, "Believe me. I don't want to break up with you. I won't accept your rejection.""Kyle, I don't w
Connor frowned at Annette's words again."She is lying!" Leo's voice sounded in Connor's mind."I know." For the first time, Connor did not refute Leo's words. He wasn't happy about it, since Annette didn't trust him."She doesn't trust us," Leo said. "It's your fault, Connor."Connor did not respond to Leo. Sometimes he thought Leo talked too much, and that annoyed him.Connor believed that Kyle might be the reason Annette chose to stay at Werewolf University.Perhaps Kyle was her mate.Connor's mood grew gloomy at the thought."Alpha Connor, can I go to work now?" Connor didn't answer her. Annette turned around and was about to start her work from upstairs.Suddenly, Connor grabbed her. She was startled as if feeling an electric current on her wrist."You don't have to do cleaning today. I have a business dinner to attend later. Come with me," Connor said, without noticing Annette's expression."Can I say no?" Annette was reluctant."Then how are you going to thank me for getting ri
Connor sensed that something was wrong with Annette. He could feel her wolf getting restless. He gently pressed Annette's shoulder.He was reminding Annette that there were many werewolves at present, and she needed to control her wolf.Otherwise, other werewolves would sense that Annette was a Rogue.It would be very dangerous for Annette.Annette took a deep breath and slowly calmed down. But her gaze didn't shift.As he followed her gaze, he realized that she was looking at Lance Fisher, Black Thorn Pack's Alpha. Lance was chatting with someone in his wheelchair."Do you know him?" When Connor saw Lance, he naturally thought of Austin."No." Annette let go of Connor's arm and shook her head."OK then. Do you want to eat something?""Yes," she said, wearing an unnatural expression."Come sit with me." He brought her to a table in the corner. "Just take a seat here. What do you want to eat?""Anything."He called the waiter to get some food for her.She lowered her head and ate slowl
Annette looked at Connor and asked, "How can you be so overbearing?"Connor chuckled. He said, "I am the Alpha of Blood Moon Pack. The entire pack's future is in my hand. This is my job, and I am used to it."Annette shook her head and said, "Don't you know how the werewolves in Akron are talking about you? They said that you were cruel and they were scared of you.""I don't care what others think of me," Connor said.Annette was silent. She thought, 'He's right. What does it matter if others think of me as good or bad?'Annette agreed with him.They left the banquet together. While they were waiting for the elevator, Annette saw Austin.Annette stopped. Then she walked toward the elevator doors with Connor, as if she didn't notice Austin.She quickly pressed the elevator button to go downstairs.Austin stood by the window for a moment, and then he walked over.From Annette's peripheral view, she saw Austin walking over and felt nervous.She prayed that Austin would walk past her like
Connor grabbed her arm and looked at her, his face filled with anger."Why were you running? What happened to your foot?"Annette threw her shoes at his feet and shouted angrily, "Connor, have I offended you? Why did you do this to me? Why did you kiss me? Do you think that you can do anything as you wish, and all women are at your disposal, just because you are rich? Well, stop being arrogant, and I hate you. I hate your guts. I want you to stay as far away from me as possible."After she finished speaking, she took off his coat, threw it at him, and walked away.Connor's face darkened. He picked her up and walked to his car.Annette struggled. "What are you doing? Put me down."Connor ignored her, threw her into the car, and closed the door.He pressed her down in the back row, ignoring Leonard, who looked embarrassed in the driver's seat."Leonard, drive. Go home.""Yes, Alpha Connor."Annette gritted her teeth. "Connor Norman! Piss off!"Leonard's hands trembled as he gripped the
Connor did not stay in the Blood Moon Pack for long. After being briefed by Beta about the recent issues with the pack, he brought Annette back to his villa."Dwayne, to Leonard to pick up Ms. Hall every day," Connor ordered Dwayne."Mr. Norman, my injury is not that serious. There's no need to bother Leonard. And...""You sprained your ankle because you accompanied me to the banquet. I should be responsible for it. Dwayne, take care of Ms. Hall."After Connor finished speaking, he left her room.Dwayne said respectfully, "Yes, Alpha Connor."The next day, Leonard sent Annette to the university.As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Austin and his fancy sports car at the school gate.Austin ignored the gazes from others and walked to Annette.Annette looked away. She took the crutches that Leonard handed over."Leonard, you should go back. I can walk from here."Leonard got into the car and left. Austin came over.Looking at the bandage on her foot, he was very worried. "Ann, wha
Annette was taken to the Black Thorn Pack.Two men pushed Annette in front of Lance, who was in a wheelchair.Annette's face was full of anger. She said, "Alpha Lance, we are in Akron. This is kidnapping!"The two men let go of her. As her feet touched the ground, her ankles hurt, but she stood there, looking tough.Lance waved his hand, and people around him dispersed."Sit," he said coldly."I am a Rogue. I don't deserve to sit on the Black Thorn Pack's chair.""Annette Fisher! Are you trying to piss me off?""As I said, my last name is Hall.""But you still have my blood in you.""That's why I always feel sick about myself."Lance slapped his wheelchair angrily and shouted, "Annette!"Unfazed by Lance's mood, Annette casually asked, "What do you want?""I hear you've been hanging out with Alpha Connor," Lance said coldly. "Are you short of money?"Annette sneered. This was her father. In his eyes, she was the kind of person who would do anything for money. Annette did not speak, L
