Chapter 119: I Can Hear You

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

The pack members around me heard this, their expressions turning awkward. Such talk was certainly hot gossip in private–after all, which member of the werewolf elite didn’t have a scandal?

It was common for the Lunas of wealthy packs to see their Alphas keeping other she–wolves or having illegitimate pups. However, no one would ever bring such matters up in public.

Even if their own mates cheated, these Lunas would choose to turn a blind eye to protect their own and their

mate’s pack reputation. But unexpectedly, this Luna Blackwood was quite different, exposing such things in front of everyone.

Wasn’t she deliberately trying to embarrass Alpha Marcus? They couldn’t afford to offend someone with the

Blackwood name, yet they didn’t dare to say anything.

Only the Head of Howell Family stepped forward to smooth things over, joking, “Luna Blackwood is quite humorous, just kidding with everyone.”

Everyone knew full well whether it was a joke or not, but they played along. After the crowd dispersed,

Marcus put down his wine glass, stepped in front of me, and said, “You know Oliver’s situation. Why would

you say that?”

“I’m telling the truth,” I said, crossing my arms. “Your Blackwood family wants an heir. Wouldn’t it be fine if you just adopted Oliver?”

“You sympathize with him, you pity him, so you might as well adopt him. It wouldn’t be in va

His chest heaved suddenly, but his face remained calm. “Back then, I never thought you would misunderstand my relationship with him.”

I looked at him and smiled faintly. “None of that matters anymore.”

My smile vanished as I glanced around. “This gathering is boring. I’m going back.”

I moved past Marcus, but just as I was about to leave, he suddenly grabbed my arm. “I’ll go back with you.”

I didn’t answer. After a quick word with the Head of Howell Family, Marcus left the pack gathering early.

I dawdled behind him as we walked out of the building, my mind elsewhere. I had deliberately embarrassed

him in public, expecting him to fly into a rage.

In the past, whenever Sophia Rivers/or her son was involved, didn’t he always accuse me? Lost in thought, I

didn’t notice him stop and bumped right into his back.

Marcus turned, his hands instantly moving to my waist to steady me. His gaze was deep. “I know you were

trying to embarrass me, but there’s really no need.”

I froze, then pushed him away with a sarcastic laugh. “Marcus, I really don’t understand you. My parents died because of Sophia Rivers, and David is still in a coma because of her.”

“You always say you want to make it up to me, but if you really wanted to, you should be using every means possible to make Sophia Rivers pay the price, not wasting your efforts on me, right?”

Marcus’s thin lips pressed together as he fell silent. Seeing his reaction, I had already guessed the answer-

he couldn’t bear to do it.

“Right,” I sneered, “after all, she’s the she–wolf you loved for ten years. How could you bear to-”

“It’s not because of that,” Marcus cut in, his face dark and stormy.

“Then what is it for?”

His deep eyes stared at me. “Give me some time.”

I remained unimpressed and turned to get into the car. As I closed the door, his lips tightened, and the light in his eyes dimmed.

The next day, I woke up early and, passing by the Moonhaven Kitchen, saw Marcus placing breakfast on the

table.

“Eat breakfast first,” he said.

I stopped, my eyes falling on the pasta he had made. I didn’t refuse. I sat at the table, picked up a fork, and

took a bite.

He took off his apron, set it aside, and sat down opposite me. “How’s the taste?”

I poured a glass of warm water and took a sip. “You learned to cook like this for Sophia Rivers, didn’t you?”

The smile on his lips stiffened and then faded. “I’ve told you I don’t like sweet flavors. Oh, right, Alpha Marcus

remembers Miss Rivers‘ taste, how could he possibly remember mine?”

I put down my fork and knife, wiped my hands with a napkin, and didn’t touch the pasta agair Marcus said

nothing, but suddenly stood up.

I waited for him to explode, but he simply picked up my plate, walked to the trash can, and dumped the food

out.

I was stunned. Marcus offered a faint smile. “You like a lighter flavor, is that right? I’ll make you a new one.”

As he turned toward the kitchen, my hands clenched, and I rose to my feet, shouting, “Marcus Blackwood, I’m not eating breakfast you make! You don’t need to make it for me!”

He paused for a moment, then continued as if he hadn’t heard. “Eat breakfast before you go to work.”

I swept the tableware off the table with a crash. Marcus immediately came out of the kitchen.

Seeing the shards on the floor, he came over and opened my palm. “Are you hurt?”

The noise also startled Amber Stone and the Elite Guards. They came in, saw the mess, and Amber hesitated

before they all retreated.

I bit my lip, pulled my hand back, and looked away. Marcus knew I was venting. His voice was husky. “You can take it out on me, just don’t hurt yourself.”

I didn’t argue with him anymore; I simply gave in. No matter how I resisted, he maintained an unbothered

attitude.

So, I decided to stop resisting. I wanted to see just how far he would indulge me.

#15 Points 3

Soon after arriving at the institute, I received a call from Professor Theodore Ashworth at the Steel Ascent. Professor Ashworth informed me that Professor Andrew Kelly’s team had joined the nanotherapy project and would be arriving in the Northern Territory next week, asking me to attend the meeting with them.

I had only met Professor Kelly once and hadn’t spoken much with him, but I knew that his involvement would be a significant boost for future medical technology. I agreed.

The elevator doors opened, and as I was about to step in, I looked up and met Hugo Ashworth’s gaze. I paused for a second, then stood beside him and greeted him, “Hugo.”
