Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Eloise’s POV:
I lay on the bed and looked at my bandaged legs and feet. It was only when I suddenly relaxed that I felt how painful these wounds were.
Some of my nerves might have been broken if I wasn’t a werewolf. I couldn’t even imagine the damage that would happen.
‘I’ve already seen him.’ She was sorry that she couldn’t help me more, but I was the one who didn’t want to trouble her. I’d already caused too much of an impact on her life, and this was just too serious.
After she left, I returned to being alone. Only then did I start to consider the whole matter seriously.
Even though I knew who brought me here, no one would believe it was Lisa. After all, in everyone’s eyes, she was fragile and perfect, like a rose.
So many people hated me when I was at Atticus’ place. Some of them were even qualified to be called supervisors. I believed that Atticus would also find it difficult to believe my words.
Those people must have been complimenting Lisa in front of him every day.
“So, I can only pretend I didn’t knowwho did this to me? I can’t accept this.” I lowered my head and looked at the bandage on my wrist. I tried my best not to cry, but my vision was already starting to blur.
“0f course not, Eloise. However, this would be extremely difficult. However , I believe you will let the people of this world know the truth.” My wolf also sighed.
‘You must know that when the Moon Goddess chose you as Atticus’ mate, it proved that you are as strong as him..
“Alright. I’ll take it as you’re comforting me.” I sighed and stretched.
Before I could lie down again, Atticus pushed the door open and walked in.
He didn’t say anything, but his expression betrayed him. He must want to know who the culprit was.
This was his sense of justice as an Alpha. At least, I believed so.
‘You won’t believe me.” I tried my best to make the smile on my face gentler. However, I didn’t trust him in this situation.
“1 know your attitude toward Lisa very well.
“No, I’ll believe whatever you say,” Atticus suddenly said.
I looked up at him. But I couldn’t believe him at all.
He opened his arms. I hesitated, but I didn’t reach out to accept his hug offer. However, he came over and hugged me.
“1’ve never abandoned you,” he said solemnly.
However, these few words were useless.
What was more important was what he had done.
I’d never forgive him for what he did to me. It was the same for wolves. My wolf howled in my mind as if I had suffered some serious injury.
Of course, this was indeed a serious psychological trauma. Even if my ribs were broken, it wouldn’t be as bad as this.
‘We still have time. I will make you believe this.” His expression was extremely serious.
“This is what I should do.’
I lay on the bed and looked at the sky outside. A few days ago, I was lying in another ward and watching all of this. Now I was back.
“1 don’t know,” I told my wolf.
“1 don’t know what else I can do. It seems like I’ve messed everything up.”
“No, it’s not like that,” my wolf quickly retorted.
‘You can’t compare yourself to others. You should compare yourself to yourself.
‘You’re already good enough to use the resources you have.”
I needed to find the person behind Lisa. He was the cause of all this.
To him, Lisa was special. Otherwise, he would not have been helping her all this time.
So, I should start from this point and slowly find his traces.
Atticus was standing outside the door. I saw his back profile.
I wanted to get someone to kick him out. However, the moment I was about to press the bell, I hesitated..
