“I am really, really sorry for not telling you that your model is none other than Walter,” Lola’s panicking voice came from the other side of my phone. “Actu

Amidst Lola’s repeated apologies, I ran my hand through my hair out of pure frustration. The reason behind Lola referring to Walter as the “new model” in worked as a model. Lola, constrained by Walter’s influential position and status, found herself unable to offend him in any way. Unbeknownst to her, beyond his billionaire facade, Walter concealed the hidden identity of a formidable hunter.

“It’s all right, no need to fret,” I said calmly, ending the call. I turned my attention to the dining table, where Wyatt and Lori had greeted Walter with an ent

“Absolutely!” Walter affirmed, embracing the both of them as he always did. The trio became engrossed in their endless chatter, seamlessly lost in the jo

I couldn’t overlook Reuben’s furrowed brow as he witnessed the undeniable connection between Walter and the children. The trust and affection Reuben had diligently cultivated over the past two weeks seemed to effortlessly redirect its flow toward Walter, having been established over the course that did not sit well with Reuben.

Approaching the dining table at a measured pace, I observed Oran and Bix seated on either side of Reuben, their expressions mirroring Reuben’s disqu

“Wyatt, Lori, it’s time to head up to your rooms to play with your toys, I announced. Both children eagerly extricated themselves from Walter’s embrace, r

with their toys in tow. As they departed, the palpable tension between Reuben and Walter resurfaced, their gazes locking in an unspoken exchange.

“Walter, let’s go. I’ll take you to the hotel that Lola arranged,” I suggested, gesturing toward the exit..

Walter approached me, questioning, “Didn’t you tell Lola that you needed to collaborate on the design work with the model? You and I even have a lot to

I had indeed said that, unaware that the model in question would turn out to be Walter. While he was the perfect fit as a model, the packhouse couldn’t b

“It’s alright, I’ll come to your hotel room tomorrow then we can…” I began to explain.

“He can stay in my packhouse,” Reuben interjected, catching me off guard. My eyes widened in surprise. Had I heard him correctly? Was he allowing Wa

Wait! What was happening?

Locking onto his calm eyes, I realized he was honoring the promise he made earlier, back when Wyatt and Lori had brought Walter into the packhouse.

Facing Reuben’s unreadable expression, I maintained a calm demeanor as I began to calmly explain to him, “I know you don’t like Walter. He is bold and crazy but I assure you, Walter is not an adversary, and he poses no threat to the pack. However, this fashion show holds immense

Reuben fixed me with an intense look for a few heart–pounding moments, then unexpectedly agreed, “Alright, I promise.”

“Really?” I replied, my eyes widening in astonishment.

“But…” he abruptly closed the distance between us, trapping me between a tree and his imposing figure. “What will I gain in return?” he inquired, his eye

I swallowed, a sudden warmth spreading through my body especially between my legs. I secretly clenched my thighs together, “What do you want in retu

He playfully bit his own lip, maintaining silence as he looked deep into my eyes before replying, “I’ll tell you later.”

With that he pulled away but I had read the meaning behind his words.

Uncertain about what he might ask, I felt compelled to agree at that moment. Ensuring Walter’s safety while in the Emerald Bright Pack was my priority,

Walter’s sudden chuckle, circumspectly directed at Reuben, jolted me back to the current situation. “Alright, I’ll gladly accept your offer of hospitality and

Considering there was an empty room next to mine I was about to agree, but Reuben’s grave voice interjected before I had the chance, The guest rooms

Walter’s emotionless gaze locked with Reuben. I couldn’t recall the last time he had tolerated a blatant offense. The Walter I knew was the nightmare of tendency to openly attack and ensure that the message he sent was not only received by the intended pack but others as well.

Walter had earned the moniker of the grim reaper but unfortunately for him, Reuben was the embodied death itself. The pure presence that these two m

I positioned myself in front of Walter, bridging the distance between the two of them. “Let’s go, I’ll show you to the guest room,” I gestured for him to follow me.

He smiled, grabbing his luggage. However, I noticed Ella standing in the door frame. “So now this hunter is allowed to stay in the pack too?” She began

“Your attitude and arrogance scream your identity as an Alpha,” Walter stood face to face with her, his handsome face radiating arrogance. “However, I d to–be Alpha of Opal Moon Pack.”

Ella frowned slightly in response. It wasn’t difficult for Walter to dig into anyone’s identity. “Surprised?” he chuckled.

She smiled, “No, just wondering if you are staying here for two days does that mean you. will be joining Willow’s welcome party tomorrow?” As she spok

Walter turned to me abruptly. “Willow, is tomorrow your welcome party? Why haven’t you invited me yet?”

I forced a smile and replied, “I was just about to invite you.”

I could feel my head on the verge of exploding under Reuben’s burning gaze. He detested having his personal space invaded, and that’s exactly how he Walter stay at the

hotel.

I swiftly guided Walter through the hallway before anything else could happen. Once we were alone, I finally inquired, “Did you have a death wish? How

“To come visit you, I would find a way to climb up to the heavens, you know, right?” He smirked playfully.

I couldn’t help but roll my eyes. “Don’t you dare talk to me like this in front of Reuben,” I warned him. “He is not the slightest bit welcoming of jokes.”

Walter’s feet slowed at my remark. “My feelings for you are not a joke,” his voice was low and held hidden emotions, ones that I always pretended not to

I slowed my pace, choosing not to respond. Instead I stated, “All these rooms are empty. You can choose whichever you like.”

He smiled, understanding that I didn’t want to delve into that forbidden conversation, as always. “Life doesn’t usually offer so many choices, so I’ll take m

My eyes slowly drifted to my hand, which held the heat– prevention pills that I had pilfered from Reuben’s pocket in the front yard during our earlier conversation. I had rarely experienced my heat cycle during th disrupted. Reuben’s proximity was fueling my irregular heat, but I believed I only had to endure it for another four to five days until my heat would be avoided for this month.

Ceri let out a frustrated groan in my mind. She was vehemently against taking heat- prevention pills, but I had no other choice.

When I didn’t reply, Walter continued, “The more surprising fact is that he just so happens to be the strongest werewolf in America. He really has made th

“What?” I murmured, failing to discern Walter’s expression at that moment and taking it as another one of his peculiar talks.

“Your husband does not trust you, he whispered into my ear, his words freezing me in place.

A moment later, I glanced at him to find a handsome smile plastered on his lips. However, it did not reach his eyes. It was the smile of someone who had

“Am I wrong?” He pulled away from me only to sit on his luggage, like a king on his throne. “He let a hunter stay at his home just because he didn’t want you to go to my hotel room. A place where he couldn’t keep an eye on you. He gave me a guest roo

damn sure Reuben could smell Walter’s interest in me.

“This is not new for me. I’ve been dealing with this side of him for 11 years…” I brushed Walter’s comment off, wanting to leave when he spoke.

“Don’t tell me you’re taking his attitude as jealousy because from where I’m standing it was suspicion.”

My feet immediately paused in the door frame upon hearing the most sensitive word of my life. The memory of Reuben tossing the pregnancy report at m

Sitting in the dark room, Walter’s sea– blue eyes remained fixed on my expression as he added, “Why does it look like this is not the first time this has happened?”

As he spoke, the room fell into a dead silence. A couple of seconds later, I walked out of his room without looking back or answering to him.

Unknown to me, Walter closed his eyes, throwing his head back and murmured, “Just like I thought, they are not together. Two days should be more than enough time to break something that is already broken, right?*

Walking out of Walter’s room, I could only manage to cross the hallway before my legs refused to support me any longer. I curled up in a corner, breathin

That day….Reuben had never directly accused me of cheating on him. I still did not know on that day whether he had doubted my character or my love.

That day…did he believe me even in the slightest?
