The bed was too cramped. So we huddled together, feeling each other’s warmth in such proximity
His arms wrapped around my waist, and his forehead pressed against mine.
His unique scent surrounded me, so I barely noticed the unpleasant disinfectant smell in the hospital
I felt safe and soon fell back to sleep.
I checked out from the hospital the following afternoon.
A werewolf’s recovery ability was strong. The wound on my chest were mostly healed, leaving behind
only a faint scar as proof of what had happened.
The doctor told me that I was lucky the blow only grazed my heart. Otherwise, there’s no way I’d
survive.
I was fortunate, and I was grateful I stood in front of Enzo, as the attach might have hit Enzo in the
heart.
Of course, I wouldn’t tell him that, otherwise he would lecture me again with a serious look about how
much worry I had caused him.
I looked out the window and was surprised to find that Enzo was not driving toward the villa.
“Where are we going? Aren’t we going home?” Enzo turned to look at me. “I thought you’d rather see
Bernhard than go home first.”
That’s true. I did indeed want to meet Bernhard. I wanted to know what happened nineteen years ago,
and I also wanted to learn more about my mother from him.
But…
He had attacked Enzo, after all. I didn’t expect Enzo would allow me to see him.
“Will you forgive him?” I asked.
“It’s unforgivable that he hurt you. But if his existence is a good thing for you, then I’m willing to let him
live,” Enzo replied as he squeezed my hand. “But he’s a Rogue who attacked our Pack and tried to kill
you. Don’t you hate him?”
“If he had no choice but to do it for your sake, I might change my mind about him.”
“Enzo…”
“If you’re going to thank me, there’s no need. I’d rather to feel your gratitude through some other
ways.”
I looked at him in astonishment, as he reached out a big hand to stroke my long hair and raised an
eyebrow smiling, “Like… in bed.”
I knew it. He couldn’t even stay serious for three seconds!
“We’re in the car right now.”
“So you’re saying it’s fine as long as we’re in a bed?”
I didn’t say that!
Enzo’s hand went down from my hair to my shoulder. He hooked his finger, tapped on my shoulder
lightly, and said in a low voice, “Actually, there’s not much difference between a car and a bed.”
I pushed down his hand. “Eyes on the road.”
Enzo laughed, a clear, ringing sound. I turned away so he couldn’t see the curl of my lips. Thirty
minutes later, we arrived in the dungeon where Bernhard was locked up.
He seemed to have aged ten years from the last I saw him. His black hair had turned gray, and his face
was haggard. His eyes and cheeks were sunken, and his limbs were shackled. His clothes were also
very dirty.
“He refuses to eat,” Enzo said from behind me. “I don’t know why, but he looks like he doesn’t want to
live anymore. Kyle tried asking him things, but he refused to speak. Perhaps you can give it a try.”
Enzo raised his hand, and the soldier on duty unlocked the door.
Hearing the movement, Bernhard’s ears moved slightly, but he still didn’t look up. “Are you here to
make a fool of me?” Bernhard’s dull, hoarse voice echoed in the damp and dark dungeon.
I was stunned and then replied, “Back then, on the platform… You said you were my father.”
Bernhard finally raised his head to look at me. “You don’t believe me?
I shook my head. “I believe you.”
I thought I saw a fleeting startled look cross Bernhard’s face, but then it quickly dissolved into a
laughter. “You believe me? If you do, you should let your Alpha untie me right now.”
“You wanted to kill him.” I tried to tell Bernhard that it was his own fault and that he shouldn’t have
made a move against Enzo in the first place.
Bernhard narrowed his eyes and said, “I was doing it for your sake!”
I frowned, unable to understand his meaning.
Bernhard continued, “All Alphas are villains. If you stay with him, you’ll suffer the same fate as your
mother! They’re selfish and are only interested in things that benefit them. You’re just a marriage
partner that Alpha Michael sent here, so do you really think this man would you treat you nicely at the
end of the day?”
“My feelings towards Andrea are sincere,” Enzo said solemnly. “I’m not the same as Alpha Michael. I’ve
never regarded Andrea as just a marriage partner. I love her.” “Bullshit! Only our simple-headed and
naive Andrea will believe you! All Alphas… No… All
nobles only see personal interest in their eyes! Once your partner fails to match you in terms of money,
status, or appearance, you’ll immediately abandon ther!” Bernhard laughed wildly and viciously
continued, “Love? Do you even have the right to talk about love?!”
