“Luna! Alpha has returned!” a maid shouted excitedly as she ran inside.
“What’s all the fuss? Where is your manner?” Mary came down the stairs and scolded the girl.
The maid lowered her head, dare not say another word.
I always had a hint of fear when I faced Mary, and I wasn’t sure why.
Perhaps it’s because she had taken care of Enzo growing up, and I should respect her.
Or maybe it’s because she really resembled Ellen and reminded me of my miserable past.
Whichever it was, I didn’t dare speak up in her presence.
I took a deep breath, then said, “I’ll go out and have a look, then.” “Wait!” Mary called out from behind
me.
“Is there something you need?” I turned around and asked.
Mary raised her eyebrows, her wrinkled eyelids wide open. With a smug look, she said, “You
should be well aware of your position after this battle, Miss Gilmore.”
“The one who can truly stand by Alpha’s side, helping him handle pack affairs and facing powerful
enemies… that’s my daughter, Cindy, and not you. You are nothing but a coward who always hides
behind Alpha’s back.”
“To our Alpha, you are just a burden.” It was as if someone had grabbed my neck and slapped me. I felt
out of breath, and my face was burning with pain. It’s true that Enzo only brought me back because I was
his mate. If I were to disregard this fact, Melissa would be the one standing here right now.
Enzo hadn’t chosen me because he needed me but because he had to.
I took another deep breath and said, “I know.” Mary’s smile got even smugger. Instantly, my initial thought
of rushing out to see Enzo had vanished. It was as if a heavy lock was holding me in place after hearing
Mary’s words, and I couldn’t lift my feet.
Just then, the living room door was pushed open.
Immediately, a cold scent of wine mixed with the metallic smell of blood hit me.
I knew that this was Enzo’s scent.
As for the blood scent…
I turned abruptly, my heart beating wildly in my chest.
Was he hurt?!
Then I saw him, his brows were still dashing, his nose sharp and high, and his face still beautiful.
However, he has lost some weight.
There was dirt and fresh blood on his body, with new scars of different shades on his exposed skin.
I choked on my breath, my wolf growling her long for Enzo, urging me to throw myself into his arms.
However, I hesitated when I saw a blood-stained Cindy, who had returned from the battlefield beside
him.
Seeing me, Enzo hesitated a few moments before he suddenly strode towards me and pulled me into his
arms before I could react.
“I missed you,” Enzo whispered into my ear. He tightened his arms around me as though he wanted me
to melt into him.
“Did you miss me?” Enzo asked, his breath heavy.
I missed him… Of course I missed him!
But I couldn’t deny Mary’s words.
Without waiting for my answer, Enzo lifted my chin.
“Don’t want to tell me? We can always do something about it,” Enzo chuckled and caught my lips
fiercely.
I could feel his warmth, and also the pain on my lips. He kissed me as though no one else was around,
like we were the only two in the world.
My legs weakened. The hot kiss deprived me of oxygen, and I had to rely on Enzo to stand
upright. Enzo released me before I completely suffocated.
“Alpha!” Mary’s loud voice suddenly interrupted our gaze. “What’s wrong?” Enzo asked. Mary’s eyes
twitched, but she forced a smile and said, “I’ve arranged for the kitchen to cook. Perhaps you’d-‘ Enzo
took my hand and started to head upstairs.
“Without my order, no one is allowed to disturb Luna and me.”
He led me to his bedroom and closed the door, and his scent became denser in the air.
A surge of male hormones wrapped around me. He trapped me between his body and the door and
pressed his lips to mine again. The fluttering kisses moved from my lips to my cheeks, then to the back
of my ears, nibbling gently.
“What’s the matter with you?” I asked him, slightly caught off guard by his sudden passion
“I told you. I missed you,” Enzo replied as he carries on kissing me. My neck was hot and humid, and my
blood was boiling in my veins. I felt a similar desire rising up inside of my body. Just when I thought Enzo
would continue further to the next step, he retrained himself and released me. I looked at him, confused.
Enzo stroked my hair and said, “Don’t be scared. I won’t force you.” With that, he pulled out a set of
clean clothes from the closet. “I’m going to take a bath.”
I nodded and sat on his bed.
The sound of running water echoed from the bathroom, and right at that moment, I suddenly felt flustered
for some reason.
I’ve never been this panic before. I felt like I couldn’t breathe.
I was sweating all over. My hands and feet felt weak, and my scent fluctuated wildly. In an instant, a
sweet peach scent filled the room. Oh my gosh! Even though I’ve never felt this way before, I had a
feeling that I might be in heat. I curled up as my body started to shift from hot to cold. I kept shivering, my
mind going muddled. My throat was dry, and I wanted water. But the moment I got up, my world started
to spin out of control.
My legs lost all strength and I fell to the ground immediately. My arm swept across the bedside table and
knocked off everything on it to the ground with a loud clatter.
“Andrea!”
I heard Enzo’s voice above me. The next second, I was lifted from the ground and onto the soft bed.
“What’s wrong?” he asked, palming my face. My over-heated body robbed me of all thoughts, as I kept
panting,
