By the time all of the issues were resolved, I was experiencing a sense of relaxation. I was sitting in a restaurant alone to have dinner.
In spite of the fact that I was staying at the hotel, I did not dine in the hotel’s restaurant. I came a bit further to have dinner since I
wanted to feel fresh air.
Eric wanted to come with me, but he had to deal with many Alphas since he was here as a representative of our pack.
“Miss, what would you like to have?” A waiter asked me while giving me a warm smile.
I looked at their menu card and asked,
“Bring the best signature dish to your restaurant.”
The waiter looked shocked upon hearing my answer.
Did he think I could not afford it?
“Any problem?”
“Oh, no, Miss. Drinks–what about them? What do you think about having a glass of wine?”
The waiter tried to sell more, I guessed.
“No thanks. Water would be better.” I replied with a small smile. The waiter nodded and left.
My eyes wandered around the restaurant freely as I observed other people. I saw rich business people come here with women.
I could assume most of them were their mistresses.
What could we expect from rich Alphas? Their wives were bound to be with them since they were their mates. Because of that, they got a chance to do w
I scoffed when I recognized an alpha. I knew him, but he didn’t know me. I saw him come to my pack once to have a pack meeting with my father. It was
On the other hand, the woman who was present at this same moment was someone else. That was not his wife.
“Just as I guessed,” I said while looking at the Alpha. He was having a great time with that woman.
“Nowadays, true love is hard to find.” I sighed.
It was then that I recalled the times in the past when I was in love with Adrian. How happy I was when I married him! But what did I get? Humiliations and
The waiter returned with their best dish and placed it on the table. I stared at the food. The cuisine caught my attention.
The dish appeared to be delectable, and the garnishing was done quite well.
“Now is the time to take pleasure in eating. Let’s get going.” I told myself it, and then I rewarded myself with a goodie.
After having my dinner, I paid the bill using my credit card and then left the restaurant.
When I was heading to the hotel on foot, I realized that it was late at

night. I did not know that I was spending too much time in the
restaurant.
It came to my attention that the roadway was dark, and there was no one on the road. I was considering taking a cab, but I was unable to locate one in th
It would take me twenty minutes to walk to the hotel if I were to take that route. So I made the decision to walk back to the location.
I went by a road and then made a left turn to enter the alleyway next to it. On both sides, I could see trees. It gave a fresh environment.
I walked with a smile. When the breeze brushed over my face, I felt really good.
However, my steps halted when I spotted a few boys talking with each other. In the yellow light, I was able to make out their appearance.
I chose to ignore them and walk past them.
“Hey, beauty. Where are you going?” I heard it from behind.
I did not respond and instead began to stride forward. But they had no intention to stop.
They started to follow me. They sprinted to catch me and grabbed my hand.
“Leave,” I said to the man who touched me.
“How can we leave you? I bet you maintained this body to seduce men,” the man remarked and started to drag me.
The other two men started to laugh and follow us. The man’s grasp became more firm as I tried to release my hand from his hand.
Let us have you, and we will let you go uninjured.”
My eyes widened when I realized that they were rogues.
What were they doing there?
Wasn’t it prohibited for rogues to come here?
Suddenly, I had a flash of memory about the day when I was desperately trying to save my life from the rogues.
It was a traumatic experience for me. My memory was brought back to me when one of the men stroked my bare arm.
I was wearing a long, blue–sleeveless dress. His touch made me flinch.
It was not that I could not defend myself, but I was not well– trained to fight against rogues. And the past things repeatedly came to my mind to make my body unmoved. As my mind tried to make sense of everythin

They retreated back, as they did not expect me to fight back.
I started to run, and they followed to catch me. I did not know where to go. The hotel was still fifteen minutes away from there.
“You can’t escape. We have seen this drama many times, but once our gaze falls on someone, their body becomes ours.”
I felt disgusted by their words. I prayed in my head to get back my strength.
I tried to run faster.
While I was running, I turned my head to see if they were still following me.
Suddenly, I bumped into someone.
My legs froze. I thought that one of the rogues had caught me.
