Chapter 101
His voice dripped with sarcasm.
A surge
of anger flared within me.My wolf couldn’t stand his mockery and snapped in frustration, “THIS WAS OUR PRIVATE AFFAIR! EVEN IF HE’D SAVED US, EVEN IF HE WAS OUR BOSS, OUR BONDING RELATIONSHIP WAS NONE OF HIS BUSINESS. HE SHOULDN’T BE SNEERING AT US LIKE THIS.”
But my confusion was greater.“I never gave him my password. How did he get in?”
From entering the complex, to getting past the security gate, to the elevator… how did he breach so many security measures?
Xander saw my expression and his own shifted from mockery to puzzlement.
Jason stumbled to his feet from the floor, reeling toward me. The heavy scent of alcohol made me wrinkle my nose.“How did you get up here?”
He slurred.“Did you sleep with him?”
His question was completely irrelevant. He gripped the armrests of his wheelchair, his roar deafening. He completely lost control, transforming into a wolf and howling uncontrollably.
I slapped him across the face.“Are you crazy? What kind of drunken tantrum is this? Get out! Go find your… your sweetheart!”
Instead of getting angry, he knelt before me, grabbing the hand I’d used to slap him and pressing it to his forehead. One second he was a raging bull, the next a whimpering puppy.“I was wrong,” he murmured.“I know you wouldn’t, you still love me, you wouldn’t do anything to hurt me.”
I was speechless. He could do countless things to hurt me, but I couldn’t?
I glanced at Xander, who was watching this spectacle, then back at Jason, who was having a drunken meltdown.
In the middle of the night, could they just leave me alone…?
I forcefully pulled my hand away.“Can we talk about this tomorrow? Go back to sleep. Once you’re sober, we can-‘
”
Before I could finish, Jason suddenly hugged me tightly.
He kept muttering apologies, tears streaming down his neck and into my collar. A grown man, reduced to a blubbering mess. His massive wolf head pressed against my neck, his breath hot and burning. But all I could feel was his tears, warm and cool at the same time.
I froze. I couldn’t describe the feeling, only that it was absurd and heartbreaking. This wasn’t the bonding severance battle I’d imagined. He was the Head Warrior of the Pack, always proud, arrogant, short–tempered, and controlling… He shouldn’t be like this.
“Please let go, calm down,” I said softly, trying to soothe him.
The more I urged him, the tighter he clung. He bargained with me.“Say you still is my partner, say

you won’t leave me.”
My head was spinning.
Xander, who had been silently observing, suddenly made a phone call, his expression like frost. I heard him summoning someone.
Soon, the night shift property manager and a security guard arrived. Xander pointed at Jason, who was still clinging to me.“This man doesn’t belong here. Get him out.”
The manager looked doubtful.“Mr. Shaw, please wait. Let me check.” It was impossible for an outsider to enter a resident’s apartment unnoticed.
After checking, he looked troubled.“Mr. Winter is a resident on the 20th floor. The surveillance shows him attempting to go to his floor, but he stopped on the 13th. It seems that you or Ms. Wells pressed the button, causing the elevator to stop on the 13th floor, leading to this misunderstanding.”
My wolf was completely stunned, “WHAT? HE BOUGHT AN AOARTMENT ON THE 20TH FLOOR?”
My head wasn’t just spinning; it was about to explode. Was Jason planning to torment me endlessly?
Xander fell silent too. After a moment, he told the property manager, “Please escort him back to the 20th floor.”
The manager thought it was a reasonable request, especially since the person giving the order was the incredibly wealthy owner of the penthouse. He readily agreed. He immediately ordered two security guards to help.
Jason was still kneeling, tightly embracing me, his large frame pressing down on me, his head buried in my neck. He had been crying and whispering apologies, but now he was quiet. Just a massive wolf pressed against me.
