Chapter 6: An Unexpected Situation

Atticus’ POV:
Joey noticed Eloise’s short breath, so he stopped me. Even though I didn’t want to appear by her side, I couldn’t bear the howling of my wolf in my mind.
Yes, until now, it still thought Eloise was my mate. After I sent Lisa to the ambulance, I had no choice but to return to my office. I saw Eloise falling to the ground when I stepped into the office.
I hugged her. I consoled myself that it was my responsibility and not that I liked her, but my wolf didn’t think so.
‘If you insist, I’ll leave her here.’ I threatened my wolf.
It finally closed its mouth, and I looked at Eloise in my arms. There was a strange heat under her skin. This meant she was about to complete her first transformation from human to wolf form as a werewolf.
“Don’t let anyone come in,” I instructed Jude and placed Eloise on the sofa.
She looked like she was in extreme pain. I knew what that felt like. When a werewolf first transformed into a wolf, their bones would break and then reassemble. I’d already experienced that kind of pain in its entirety.
But why did I feel like my heart was also being torn apart?
“This shouldn’t be the case.” I put my hand on my chest in surprise.
How could I feel sad just because she felt pain? That was impossible unless there was some sort of connection between us.
That could only mean one thing.
I quickly dispelled this thought from my mind, but when I saw her moaning in pain, I couldn’t ignore her.
I could only put her in a more appropriate place so she wouldn’t be so much pain. But at the same time, I realized I couldn’t move my gaze away from her.
This was too strange.
Due to the pain from the transformation, she was wailing non-stop, but soon she turned into a wolf. She was still unconscious, and her light gray hair was soaked in sweat. She lay there like an exquisite piece of art.
“Wait a minute. Do you still remember? She’s not a werewolf. She’s a hybrid!” My wolf was screaming in my head.
This was almost impossible. I knew she was a hybrid of a human and a werewolf. Therefore, she should not have a wolf.
This matter was beyond my understanding.
“Dear Moon Goddess!” I cried out in alarm with the wolf in my mind.
I was so glad I had chosen to take her back to the office and not drag her out.
But I quickly came to my senses. This would put her in danger. Even our pack would be in danger. I could only leave her on the sofa and call my Beta. He was the only person I could trust now.
When he walked into the office, he was shocked by the scene and stood there with widened eyes.
“Close the office and don’t let anyone in,” I ordered my Beta.
“Yes, Alpha. But why is she… “My Beta looked at Eloise lying on the sofa, and her expression was no better than mine.
“I don’t know.” I just shook my head.
If there was a miracle for this pack, it shouldn’t be her. She should disappear from people’s sight.
“I’m also very confused about this, but I can’t give you an answer. However, I need your help to deal with her.”
Why did her wolf appear so late? Why did she have a wolf? These things completely confused me. I couldn’t help but reach out and touch her hair again.
At the same time, when I approached her, I was horrified to discover that I could smell a scent I had never smelled before.
It was as if my hand had been electrocuted, and I felt a slight current. The pleasant scent on her body made me addicted. It was the most delightful scent I had ever smelled in my life. It was like honey or some addictive poison.
I couldn’t control my hand and couldn’t move it away from Eloise’s body.
All of this proved that she was my mate. She was destined to be Luna. She should be by my side.
Of course, I could reject her, but it would be no different from murder at such a weak moment. If I did that, I would lose more than I would gain.
“Dear Moon Goddess.” I couldn’t help but sigh.
She had played a huge prank on me..
