Before leaving , I went to the restroom . My wolf was agitated . As soon as I came out , I ran into Vivian Bennett walking towards me , with a shapely figure and an incredibly pure face , the type any he - wolf would like . She smelled sickly sweet . Luna Sinclair , why haven't you left yet ? " Vivian had no intention of hiding anything at all . She deliberately exposed her chest ; the love marks left on it were both a display and a provocation . They stank of Xavier's possessiveness . I stopped , scrutinizing her . My wolf snarled silently . In my previous life , I used ruthless tactics , making Vivian back off in less than a moon cycle . Made her ' voluntarily ' quit as secretary and ship off to the Silverpeak Clan , all while making it look like a fair deal . But now , I couldn't be bothered to deal with her . I looked away , walking past Vivian towards the elevator instead of responding , but after only a few steps , coffee was splashed on my back . The burning sensation made my wolf howl . Oh " Vivian exclaimed , raising the cup in her hand , " Oh dear , I'm so sorry ~ I just helped Alpha Xavier release his stress , and my hand is still trembling . " Hearing these words , I felt as if I saw those dirty images in the office , making me sick to my stomach . My wolf wanted to tear her throat out . I was too tired to get involved in their relationship , but that didn't mean I could be humiliated . So I quickly stepped forward and slapped Vivian across the face . The satisfying crack echoed in the hallway . Unexpectedly , Xavier happened to walk out . His wolf instantly recognized the scent of anger and spilled coffee . Vivian - sharp - eyed and even quicker with her hands - stumbled forward , dropping to her knees in front of me . She covered her face , her voice trembling as she begged , " I'm so sorry , Luna Sinclair , I swear I didn't mean it ! Please , don't be mad ..." Seeing this , Xavier rushed over . His alpha scent flared , a warning to stay away . He shoved me aside , and my already scalded back hit the corner of the wall , making me gasp sharply . But Xavier didn't notice , instead he bent down and asked Vivian on the ground : " What's going on ? " Vivian pouted , saying fearfully : " I just had a bit of low blood - core energy and felt dizzy for a moment , accidentally spilling coffee on Luna Sinclair's back . Then she got angry and slapped me , and my head feels so dizzy . But I don't blame her . " Hearing this, Xavier glared at me . His eyes burned with unsuppressed rage , he snapped , " She's just an intern , fresh out of the pup den - cut her some slack ! Of course she's gonna be a little clumsy at first . Do you really have to nitpick every little thing and blow it all out of proportion ? " My wolf was now fully enraged , ready to fight . After speaking , he immediately carried her into the office . 20:55 0.7 % < Chapter2 Menu Looking at his angry face , my grievances turned into tears . My wolf was heartbroken . I remembered this one time - just a tiny cut on my finger , but Xavier had completely lost his shit , freaking out and dragging me to the Blood Healer . The Blood Healer on duty didn't know whether to laugh or roll his eyes . And now ? Now he's out there bleeding for somebody else . I'd clearly decided to let go , but my heart still ached so much . I endured the pain and stood up straight , leaving the company and going straight to the Pack Council to handle the Blood Dormancy Period request . Once the Blood Dormancy Period was over , Xavier and I would be completely finished . Back home , Xavier hadn't returned . He only sent a mind - link message saying he had to work overtime at the Pack Council , and reminded me not to be late for tomorrow's feast . It was a client feast that had been agreed upon earlier . I only replied with ' Okay ' . I neither mentioned the grievances I suffered today nor exposed his overtime lie , yet again . My wolf felt numb . Because it didn't matter anymore . The next day , when I arrived at the gathering place , I didn't see Xavier ; instead , I saw Vivian . " Alpha Xavier has a meeting that hasn't ended yet . so he asked me to come over first to give you a heads - up and , uh , learn the ropes a bit . " Vivian had completely changed her usual demeanor , acting entirely professional . I could only lead her into the private room . At the feast , Vivian was always toasting , practically pressing her entire body against the client , and the implications were obvious to anyone with eyes . Her scent was overwhelming , a cloying mix of cheap pheromones . I had always disdained such behavior , so I got up and went to the restroom . My wolf needed to escape her presence . When I returned , the private room was surrounded by wolves . I pushed through the crowd and walked in , only to see a chaotic scene . Xavier had arrived . But the client was lying in a pool of blood ... < Chapter 3 Chapter 3
