Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Atticus’ POV:
I looked at my phone, which was constantly flashing with notifications.
My parents still wanted me to get married as soon as possible, so they sent me girls with different outfits, one after another. But I was not interested in them.
Furthermore, they mentioned a person who had long disappeared from the depths of my memory. If that person were allowed to come back, I wouldn’t continue to be the Alpha of this pack.
All of these dangers were urging me to make a concession.
I needed someone I was familiar with who wouldn’t affect my life.
“We all know whom you’re looking for, but you won’t tell us.” My wolf was laughing madly.
“Alright, it’s because of the mate connection, I understand. But you should at least tell her this.”
“I know.” I didn’t want to waste any more energy refuting it.
It was dangerous outside the ward; even I could see it. Those people belonged to Eloise’s elder brother and sister in name, and they took over part of the family’s affairs. Although they didn’t necessarily want her to leave this world, it was almost the same.
A boy turned around the moment he saw me. My intuition told me something was wrong with him, but everyone here thought the same, so I didn’t pay much attention to him.
“I’m here to visit Eloise.” I waved the present in my hand to make myself look as if I was genuinely there for a visit. Of course, this was also my purpose for coming here.
The bodyguards opened up a path for me.
I coughed hard when standing in the middle of the group, trying to show that [ was at least on her side, but it was useless.
I’d indeed divorced her. I looked more like a bystander than a person who cared about her.
I walked around the crowd and headed to her ward.
She was in a terrible situation because she could not cultivate her power. Although Soren could help her, he was injured after all. Meanwhile, Bishop had been working the whole time, but the boy was only a hacker.
Even if that man were willing to help her , her days would not be particularly good. After all, she was already too old when she joined the chaos. She didn’t even have the chance to integrate into this place.
I placed the gift bag on the sofa and walked toward the bed.
I thought Eloise would ask me to leave, but she didn’t say anything and just lay there.
Her hand was obviously on the bell, but she still moved it away. I could feel her uneasiness. Even under the effects of the medicine, it was still very obvious.
“You’ve also seen that„_ it is only the beginning.” She sighed and then clenched the corner of the blanket.
I could see her helplessness. I was afraid I wouldn’t be doing much better if it were me. I recalled the days when I first took over the pack, and I had to admit that my luck was indeed better.
However, we all knew her biggest trump card. She was a werewolf and was not afraid of money, but these tricks could only be used once, so she could not rely on them at all.
Since she didn’t hate me to the point of not allowing me to get close to her, why wouldn’t I didn’t mind having a more reliable partner.
“Do you feel better now?” I asked carefully.
“Thank you for your concern, but I can’t smile now.” She sighed again.
Of course, she knew her situation. The corners of her eyes were red. I wasn’t sure if she had cried, but she did look terrible.
I couldn’t bring this up, but I thought she understood.
Her life would soon be in danger, and she might even die here.
“There’s still a chance for us to turn this around.” I heard myself say.
“But I don’t think you want to hear these words from me.”
It was already impressive that she could use what little she had to this extent, but it was still not enough because she had been forced into an even more dangerous whirlpool.
I had to save her, but it was also for myself.
She looked at me, her expression changing from confusion to fear. She didn’t want me to help her; I was very sure. However, I had to make my stand clear.
“I think we should cooperate now, right?”
