When Xander came out of the dinner, he seemed sober. His eyes were bright, and hist steady. But when he gave us his card and said to pay the bill, we knew… the boss was already drunk.
Anna wasn’t as drunk as last night. She took small steps to his side and tugged at his arm.“Want to go to my place? I have the wine you like.”
“No.”
Xander’s refusal was abrupt.
There was an uneven spot on the carpet in the corridor. When he walked past, his foot got caught. Before Zane and I could help him, Anna had already stepped forward and opened her arms, just as he was about to fall onto her…
At the critical moment, Xander reached behind him.
When I was pulled back by him, I felt like I was about to fly out. I lunged into Anna’s arms… and we almost kissed.
My wolf was speechless and bewildered, “IS THIS EVEN THE STRENGTH FROM A WEREWOLF?”
Am I a werewolf shock absorber?! A werewolf shield?!
Anna was also furious. He would rather push his secretary into my arms than let her hold him?!
As soon as we left the restaurant, she stormed off. I wasn’t as carefree as her. For the sake of a job I’d only had for less than three days, I could only endure it.
After getting in the car, I realized my knee hurt. I looked down and saw bruises forming, and a bit of blood pooling under the skin. It was bruised from the impact of his pulling me earlier, hitting his leg bone in the process. His bones were incredibly hard. My skin is fair and delicate, and even a slight bump would cause bruises for a long time. My wolf had mocked me for it before, saying I was so delicate, I wasn’t even a true werewolf.
Xander leaned against the seat, one hand supporting his forehead, his eyes closed, his expression calm, as if he were asleep.
At the hotel, I called him several times but couldn’t wake him. He was really drunk.
Zane and the hotel’s male staff helped him to his room. Helping the 6’3““giant” tired both men.
“Is your knee okay? Should I get some ice?” Zane came out of the bedroom, noticing my leg injury. If this continues, she’ll be running away. It’s hard to find a secretary that Mr. Shaw is satisfied with. She’s perfect, impeccable.
“I’ll ice it in my room.”
“Then go ahead, I can stay here and take care of him alone.”
I nodded.“Okay.”

When I got to the door, I remembered something and turned back. “Tomorrow you’ll accompany Mr. Shaw to the summit, I won’t come in the morning, the factory is on Jurong Island in the west. It’s a bit of a distance, and if I leave early, I’ll be able to return earlier.”
Zane: “Okay, call if you need anything.”
I hummed in agreement, opened the door, and left.
Back in my room, I showered and sat on a lounge chair, icing my knee. The cold caused me to gasp in pain.
As the pain subsided, I laughed. Angry and funny.
But thinking about it, even though it was a new job and a trip to escape the bonding severance, it was pretty exciting, no less interesting than going to Iceland alone to experience the loneliness of freedom. Busy and bustling, I didn’t have time to think about MoonCloud Pack.
I wondered what was going on in MoonCloud Pack.

At the same time, in MoonCloud Pack…
Summer Grant met Jason Winter at her law firm.
The night outside the office was dark. It had rained all day in MoonCloud Pack, the temperature had dropped sharply, and dark clouds obscured the sky, making the whole city look bleak and
grey.
Jason, dressed in a dark gray suit, with his hair neatly combed and his beard shaved clean, his handsome face as striking as ever, sat with his legs crossed on the sofa, exuding a suppressed and gloomy aura.
He was still that arrogant and domineering Head Warrior, the young master of the Winter family. The man who had gone crazy, collapsed in despair, and choked with sobs yesterday seemed like a different person.
“I thought you would be sad for a few more days, try to act a little bit more,” Summer Grant said
finish the necessary sarcastically.“But it’s fine, the sooner you calm down, the sooner you procedures, the better.”
