Chapter 301 Relentless Kisses
Rosaline’s POV
The entire drive home was silent. Neither of us spoke a word.

Once we arrived at the villa, I was about to head straight to my room when I heard Gaden’s weak voice behind me. “Rosaline…”
I froze mid–step and turned around, only to see him slumped on the couch, his face pale.
My heart clenched. “What’s wrong?” I asked, worried, as I hurried over and pressed my hand against his forehead.
Not hot. No fever.
I let out a small breath of relief. But just as I looked down, I caught Caden raising an eyebrow at me, his lips curving slightly. Tm hungry.”
I stared at him for a second before sighing. “I’ll make you some eggs and bacon.”
Wasting no time, I went straight to the kitchen. Knowing he was probably starving, I worked quickly, finishing in just seven or eight minutes.
The smell of fried eggs and crispy bacon filled the air.
I was about to bring the plate out when I suddenly heard Caden’s deep, magnetic voice right beside my ear. “Smells amazing.
Before I could react, his arms wrapped around my waist from behind, his chin resting lightly on my shoulder.
“Move,” I said flatly, pushing him away without hesitation. I’m bringing this out for you.”
“I want to eat now,” he murmured, leaning casually against the counter. His dark eyes locked onto me. intense and unwavering.
The way he was looking at me made it hard to tell if he was hungry for food or something else.
My cheeks heated involuntarily. “Why was I even thinking about that?”
Taking a deep breath to steady myself, I handed him a fork. “Here. Eat slowly, and don’t choke.”
Caden didn’t take it. Instead, he curved his lips into a pitiful smirk. “But my hand is injured. I can’t hold a fork. Will you feed me?”
I let out an exasperated sigh.
Fine. He got hurt saving me, after all. And with his injured hand, using a fork would be difficult.
If I refused, I would feel ungrateful.
Resigning myself, I pressed my lips together. “Alright.”
Balancing the plate in one hand, I used the fork to pick up a piece of bacon, gently blowing on it before

Caden didn’t hesitate, opening his mouth and eating it right away.

We went back and forth like that, and before long, he had finished both eggs and all four strips of bacon.
“Now that you’re done, you should get some rest,” I said, setting the plate down, my brows knitting slightly with exhaustion.
After everything that had happened today, I was drained. All I wanted was to go to sleep.
But the next second, I felt a strong force wrap around my waist, pulling me straight into Caden’s arms.
With a swift movement, he spun me around, pressing me against the counter, and trapping me in his embrace.
“What are you doing?” I frowned, meeting his heated gaze.
Seriously. He was making a habit of this.
“You already know,” he murmured, his lips brushing against my car.
His warm breath sent a shiver down my spine, and my cheeks burned even hotter.
The scent of mint and cigarettes lingered on him, making my heart pound faster.
Before I could even look up, his lips descended onto mine..
This time, Caden kissed me gently, testing my limits bit by bit.
His tongue skillfully explored my mouth, his masculine scent utterly intoxicating.
And the longer he kissed me, the tighter his hold became.
Before I knew it, I was backed into a corner.
My foot slipped slightly, and instinctively, I reached out and wrapped my arms around his lean waist.
That single movement seemed to encourage him–his gentle kisses instantly turned urgent and feverish.
Caden’s strong hands gripped my waist, lifting me effortlessly onto the countertop.
He pressed his tall, commanding body against me, his hands locking around the back of my head, preventing me from pulling away.
His kisses were relentless, devouring me with an intensity that left me breathless.
My mind grew hazy, and in the depths of my consciousness, I could hear Freya letting out an excited howl.
Yes, if Caden wanted to take this further, I wouldn’t resist.
But just as his hand started trailing downward, my phone suddenly buzzed violently in my pocket.

glanced down at the screen.
It was Jasper.
Taking a deep breath to steady myself. I answered the call.
“Rosaline, how’s your injury?” Jasper’s concerned voice came through the receiver.
“I’m fine.” I replied, my tone indifferent,
“That’s good.” He hesitated for a moment before continuing. “By the way, Hugo checked with the props team. They said the loose screw on the swing was an accident.”
“An accident?” I repeated, my voice laced with skepticism.
“That’s what they claim, Jasper said.
“I see.” I responded flatly, not pressing further.
After ending the call, I narrowed my eyes slightly.
An accident?
No way.
I knew full well that what happened wasn’t some coincidence.
But I couldn’t act rashly.
Since Jasper said that, I’d play along for now–let them think I bought their story. The real culprit would lower their guard eventually, and when they did, I’d be ready.
Just as I was deep in thought, a wave of cold tension hit me.
“What did Jasper want?” Caden’s face was dark with displeasure, his voice laced with irritation.
I could tell he was in a foul mood.
Thinking about how we had nearly lost control just moments ago, I swallowed hard, my lips still tingling from his kisses. “It was nothing. I’m going to bed.”
I hopped down from the counter, quickly adjusting my clothes–at some point, Caden had tugged them loose–and then hurried off to my room.
“Alpha, next time he bullies you, don’t call me for help. You looked like you were enjoying yourself. Freya
snickered.
“Oh, shut up. Weren’t you the one getting all excited just now?” I shot back.
“Maybe next time we should just go for it. Who knows, we might even take things a step further.”
“You’re such a perv.”

Rosaline’s POV:
The following morning was bright and warm, with an endless expanse of clear blue sky above.
As I made my way to the set like usual, Caden suddenly blocked my path.
“What’s going on?” I asked, puzzled by his actions.
“I’m coming with you today,” he declared, not wasting any time as he ushered me into the car.
“Aren’t you supposed to be at work?” I questioned, settling into my seat.
“I gave myself the day off,” he responded simply.

The idea of a boss granting himself a break made me roll my eyes, but I chose not to push the matter further.
When we got to the set, I barely spared Caden a glance since I had to rush to the makeup room.
Getting my hair, makeup, and outfit sorted was a long and exhausting process, requiring meticulous coordination.
As I sat in the makeup chair, I flipped through the script, focusing on how to deliver my performance convincingly.
It was only a guest role, but that didn’t mean I wouldn’t give it my all.
Just then, a knock sounded at the makeup room door.
“Come in,” a staff member called out as they quickly opened it.
In the reflection of the large mirror before me, I saw Jasper step inside, accompanied by his assistant, Hugo. Behind them trailed a middle–aged Omega werewolf, his demeanor humble.
I knitted my brows, puzzled, and glanced at Jasper. “What’s this about?”
Jasper gestured toward the werewolf they had brought along. “He’s the props crew member from the other day,” he explained.
The middle–aged werewolf stepped forward, bowing deeply. “Ms. Sinclair, I want to sincerely apologize,” he said. “Had I been more careful, you wouldn’t have gotten hurt. It was my mistake, and it could have led to something far worse. I’m truly sorry!”
Narrowing my eyes slightly, I studied him in silence.
If I wasn’t mistaken, this middle–aged werewolf, despite his age, was a newcomer to the crew.
So… was he really responsible?
I didn’t even know him. We had no past conflicts–what reason would he have to target me?
It was more likely that someone else was pulling the strings from the shadows.

With that in mind, I set my script aside and offered a faint smile. “Since it wasn’t deliberate, I won’t hold it against you. Just be more cautious next time–mistakes like this shouldn’t happen again.”
The middle–aged werewolf looked startled by how easily I let it go.
He shot a quick glance at Jasper before exhaling in relief. “Thank you, Ms. Sinclair. I’ll get back to work now,”
“Alright.” I gave a slight nod, watching as the middle–aged werewolf exited the room.
Jasper remained where he was, with Hugo standing beside him.
“Is there something else you need?” I asked, keeping my gaze on their reflection in the mirror rather than turning to face them.
“I wanted to go over the scene we’re filming later,” Jasper said, lowering himself into the chair next to me.
I had already gone through the script–I knew we’d be shooting a kissing scene.
The scene Jasper and I were set to film today involved his character, Alpha, making a fervent confession to Selina–my role–beneath the trees in a secluded grove.
However, Selina’s heart already belonged to someone else, and she had no feelings for Alpha. Without hesitation, she turned him down.
Fueled by rage, Alpha seized her and stole a kiss.
“Selina, you belong to me! Your heart should have no place for anyone else–I won’t allow it!”
Jasper, exuding the commanding presence of an Alpha, carried a trace of frustration in his expression as he yanked me into his embrace. Ignoring my resistance, he held me captive in his arms with an unrelenting grip.
The scene resembled a powerful ruler imposing his will, while my character, Selina–a young Omega werewolf of low status–stood no chance against his overwhelming strength.
I fought back, but it was useless. Jasper lowered his head, pressing his lips against mine in a forceful kiss.
Their lips met in a deep, intense entanglement.
“Cut!”
Gordon, satisfied with the take, called out, “Great job! Everyone, prepare for the next scene.”
Snapping out of character, I quickly pulled away from Jasper.
“Rosaline… “Jasper started to speak, but before he could finish, Caden appeared and whisked me away.
His sharp features were taut with tension, and an icy aura radiated from him.
“What’s the matter?” I asked once we reached a quiet corner, glancing up at him.
Caden’s expression was grim as he looked down at me, his brows knitted together. Lifting his hand, he said, “My hand hurts.”

I understood exactly why he was upset. Watching Jasper hold me so closely, even if it was only for the scene and not a real kiss, must have been difficult for him to endure.
His possessive nature wouldn’t allow him to tolerate it.
Hah, such a proud and overbearing CEO–whether he was truly jealous or just putting on a front, he still had to act tough!
Amused, I was about to say something when Caden suddenly reached out and pulled me into his embrace.
Leaning down, he murmured into my ear, his voice low and husky, “Rosaline, you belong to me! No one else is allowed to kiss you–only I can!”

The heat of his breath brushed against my car, sending a tingling sensation down my spine.
My cheeks flushed. “What are you even saying? That was just acting between Jasper and me, nothing more.”
“I don’t care. Even if it’s just a scene, it’s unacceptable,” Caden stated with unwavering authority.
His gaze burned with intensity, filled with unrestrained passion.
Without hesitation, he leaned down and pressed his lips against mine.
“Mmm…” Any words I wanted to say were completely swallowed by the kiss.
A light–headed sensation crept over me, making my mind spin.
What is he doing?!
We’re on set!
There are people everywhere, walking back and forth …
Oh my God!
Jasper’s POV:
I stood at a distance, watching the scene unfold before me.
Earlier, while we were filming, I could clearly feel Rosaline’s indifference toward me.
Yet now, she was openly kissing Caden in front of everyone …
A tight, uncomfortable feeling gripped my chest.
The rest of the crew had also noticed, their eyes drawn to Rosaline and Caden locked in an embrace.
Scattered across the set, staff members huddled together, whispering about what they had just witnessed.
“Didn’t Ms. Sinclair and the Eclipse Pack heir call off their engagement? Then why is this happening?”
“So what? Haven’t you noticed Mr. Holbrook has been by Ms. Sinclair’s side on set lately? Maybe their past feelings have rekindled.”
“Still, I think Jasper and Ms. Sinclair make a better pair.”
The whispers drifted to my ears. My fingers curled into my palm, nails biting into my skin as resentment surged within me.
The pain in my chest was suffocating, making it hard to breathe.

“Too far?” Caden chuckled, a dangerous glint flickering in his dark eyes. He leaned in slightly, his voice dropping to a husky murmur. “I can push the limits even more… want to test it?”
“You-!” I was momentarily speechless, scowling at him with a mix of irritation and disbelief. “How dare you! Now get back to work and stop disrupting the set!”
“You really don’t want me here?” Caden’s expression darkened, his handsome face clouded with displeasure.
“No,” I replied firmly, not wanting to escalate the situation. Taking a deep breath, I tried to reason with him. “I already told you–your actions could interfere with my filming…”
As I attempted to push him away, his gaze turned icy, and he seemed ready to argue. But before he could speak, his phone suddenly rang.
With a frown, Caden pulled it out, irritation flickering across his face. Though clearly impatient, he still answered the call.
“Mr. Holbrook, Eclipse Group has a high–level meeting this afternoon, and your presence is required. How would you like to proceed?”
It was Yale on the other end of the line.
“I got it.” Caden’s response was brief and composed before he ended the call.
“There’s an issue at Eclipse Group. You should head back and take care of it,” I said, standing close enough to have overheard the conversation.
Caden’s gaze lingered on me, his dark eyes smoldering. “Take care of yourself.”
His eyes then flicked toward Jasper, who stood not far away. His voice dropped, laced with frost. “And stay away from that man.”
He was definitely jealous.
Not wanting to argue, I gave a half–hearted response. “Alright, I got it. Now, I need to go change.”
It was about time to get ready anyway. I couldn’t afford to linger here with him, so I simply waved him off and headed straight for the dressing room.
After changing into my costume, I headed to the set to get ready.
The next scene I had to film was with Sarah.
In this drama, she plays Jasper’s fiancée, while my character, Selina, is the one Alpha—played by Jasper–has strong feelings for. This naturally sparks jealousy in Jasper’s fiancée, who, upon encountering Selina at the company, uses her position as a director to make things difficult for her.
However, Selina has no desire to stay in the company either. Instead of backing down, she deliberately challenges her, and the tension between them escalates, pushing them to the brink of an explosive confrontation.
“The set is ready! All actors, take your positions!”
The assistant director’s voice boomed through the megaphone, signaling everyone to prepare.

In an instant, the crew snapped into work mode. Sarah and I, each flanked by our respective colleagues, strode toward the company office as the cameras rolled.
Within seconds, our characters came face–to–face in the lobby, the tension between them ready to ignite.
According to the script, when I spotted Sarah, I didn’t acknowledge her presence with a bow or greeting–I simply walked past her as if she were invisible.
“How dare you!” she snapped, her expression icy. “You think you can just ignore me–a director of this company?”
I met her glare with a calm smile. “Oh, it’s Ms. Cline. My eyesight isn’t great–I honestly didn’t notice you.”
Sarah’s face darkened. “It seems Alpha has been spoiling you too much lately. I’ll make sure you learn your place today and understand the rules of the pack!” With a flick of her wrist, she signaled two colleagues to restrain me.
The next part of the scene involved me being shoved into the nearby pool.
I had already braced myself for the fall.

Sarah’s POV:

My gaze fell on Rosaline’s breathtakingly beautiful face, and the image of her and Jasper filming that kiss scene just moments ago was burned into my mind. A surge of jealousy flared within me, rising uncontrollably.
Rosaline–she’s just a low–rank Omega. What gives her the right?
My eyes turned cold before the actor playing the assistant could step in. Without hesitation, I raised my hand and slapped Rosaline hard across the face.
Smack!
A sharp sound echoed through the set.
Rosaline froze for a moment.
I had used all my strength in that slap. A glaring red mark instantly marred her flawless makeup and delicate features.
“Cut!” Gordon’s voice rang out loudly.
Everyone on set stared in shock.
“Sarah, what the hell was that? Why didn’t you follow the script?” Gordon frowned, displeased.
I pressed my lips together and quickly responded, “Mr. Wood, I’m so sorry. I got too caught up in the role and let my emotions take over.”
I turned to Rosaline, putting on an apologetic expression. “Ms. Sinclair, I didn’t mean it. I just wanted the scene to feel more real. I hope you don’t mind.”
“Yes, Sarah is just very dedicated to her craft. She gets so immersed in her character that sometimes she goes a little overboard,” Megan chimed in before Rosaline could even speak. She smiled earnestly. “Ms. Sinclair, I sincerely apologize on her behalf.”
Rosaline’s POV:
A stinging pain spread across my cheek, but I merely narrowed my eyes slightly.
Not intentional?
Yeah, right.
The jealousy and hostility in Sarah’s eyes had been crystal clear–I could feel it radiating off her.
But I had to admit, her performance was impressive.
After all, in the script, the fiancée–the board director–felt the same resentment toward Selina.
In a way, Sarah’s improvisation made the scene even more compelling. That slap had fully captured the raw intensity of her character’s emotions.

With the same faint smile, I continued, “I hope you can bring that same level of dedication to every scene moving forward. Keep up the great work, alright?”

She’s not mad?
From how she phrased it, was she implying that my previous performances weren’t good enough?

Sensing that the situation had settled, Gordon stepped in to ease the tension. “Alright, let’s move on. This scene is good–we’re keeping it. Everyone, get ready for the next take. Jasper, you’re up.”
As soon as Gordon called for the next shot, Jasper emerged, looking sharp in an impeccably tailored suit, stepping into position under the camera’s lens. The other actors took their places as well.
“Everyone, make sure you’re ready. Crew, have the blankets prepared. In this scene, Selina gets drunk at the banquet and is pushed into the lake by her fiancée, the board director. The Alpha steps in to rescue her, and the two passionately kiss in the water while the onlookers watch.”
After briefly explaining the scene, Gordon directed everyone to their designated spots.
At his cue, Rosaline staggered unsteadily toward the pavilion by the lake, feigning intoxication. Without warning, a small assistant approached her and shoved her straight into the water.
Right on cue, Jasper dove in without hesitation to rescue her, setting the stage for their dramatic embrace and passionate kiss.
As the fiancée, my role in this scene was to stand at the forefront, watching everything unfold with a clear view.
Even though I knew the kiss was just an illusion created by clever camera angles, watching Jasper hold Rosaline so tenderly stirred up a deep, uncontrollable jealousy inside me.
I clenched my fists tightly. Even as my character seethed with rage, I had to maintain the composed elegance of an Alpha’s fiancée and a high–ranking company board member.
Even when the director called ‘Cut, my fists remained tightly clenched.

“You must be freezing. Here, put this on.” Jasper took the blanket handed to him by a crew member and draped it gently over Rosaline’s shoulders, his eyes filled with nothing but warmth and concern.
“Thank you.” Rosaline accepted it calmly before walking off to change into dry clothes.
Meanwhile, I remained rooted to the spot, my teeth grinding in frustration. My mind replayed the scene of Jasper gazing at Rosaline with such unshakable devotion. How dare she?
She had just kissed Caden before everyone, and now she was still trying to seduce Jasper?
Why won’t Jasper even look my way?

“Ms. Conti.”

The stage manager saw me standing there, lost in thought, and walked over to get my attention, “Your next scene is the dance sequence. You’ll be performing mid–air with flower petals by using the wire rig. You mentioned wanting to personally check the props–everything’s ready now. Would you like me to take your over?”
I snapped out of my thoughts, quickly gathered myself and smiled. “Sure.”
Last time, Rosaline’s props malfunctioned out of nowhere, and the accident nearly ruined her face. If it weren’t for sheer luck, she might have been disfigured. The incident left me shaken, and ever since then, I’ve been extra cautious with my own props.
For an actress, her face is everything–it’s her lifeline. Losing it would be no different from losing everything.
Following the stage manager to the wire rig area, I saw a few crew members still busy fine–tuning the equipment. When they noticed me, they put down their work to greet me.
“Ms. Conti, don’t worry! We’ve tested this rig at least a dozen times. There won’t be any issues. You can rest assured when you get on!” One of the crew members patted his chest confidently, guaranteeing its safety.
Still uneasy, I signaled for Megan to double–check everything.
Just then, another crew member walked over, handing me a juice bottle while greeting me enthusiastically. “Ms. Conti, I’m a huge fan! Your performance just now was incredible. I’m really looking forward to your dance scene.”
“Thank you.” After confirming the rig was in perfect condition, I finally let my guard down.
The crew member’s eyes darted around as if something just occurred to him. “Honestly, I’ve always felt it was unfair to you. Everyone knows Rosaline is an amateur. She doesn’t even know how to act, yet she always acts like she’s telling you what to do.”
He kept going, his voice full of indignation. “Who does she think she is? Your talent speaks for itself because you’ve been in the industry for so long. We all know how good you are.”
I liked what I was hearing. Smiling, I responded modestly, “Oh, don’t say that. Everyone has their own way of seeing things. I’m still learning and figuring things out.”
“No way! I’m not the type to gossip, but let’s be real–anyone with eyes can see that Rosaline is completely unqualified as an actress. On top of that, she’s flaunting her connections and playing around with people on set. If that weren’t enough, she’s even tangled up with Jasper! She’s making it impossible for people not to misunderstand her. Such a messy reputation!”
He looked genuinely outraged on my behalf. “But I believe Jasper and you are the real match. Rosaline doesn’t deserve him at all!”
Every word he said hit the sweet spot in my heart. I nodded. “Rosaline is a two–faced woman–one minute, she’s playing coy with Mr. Holbrook, and the next, she’s cozying up to Jasper on purpose.”
The crew member gave me a knowing look, then bowed slightly before walking away.

I had been standing for over ten hours straight, and my legs felt like they would snap in half. I only wanted to crash into bed and sleep like the dead.
Once I had packed up, I walked out of the set, only to find a sleek black Rolls–Royce pulling up precisely in front of me.
Caden stepped out of the car. Dressed in a tailored black suit, he looked effortlessly perfect–his tall, sculpted frame accentuated by the precise cut of the fabric. The golden glow of the setting sun bathed him in warm light, making him look almost surreal like he was wrapped in radiance.
His presence was striking, turning heads as passing women openly admired him.
“Caden? What are you doing here?” I was a little surprised.
Shouldn’t he be in a meeting at Eclipse Group right now?
He strode toward me, exuding an imposing aura, his long legs closing the distance instantly. His thin lips curved slightly. “I came to pick you up.”
“Aren’t you supposed to be in a meeting?” I eyed him suspiciously as he approached.
His gaze locked onto mine, deep and smoldering. His voice was low and captivating. “I missed you.”
I was speechless.
I had no comment on his blatant flirtation. Without a word, I got into his car.
“Where do you want to eat?” He glanced sideways at me as he started the engine.
“Anywhere is fine.” I scrolled through my phone absentmindedly.
“Ivernia food, then.” He made the decision without hesitation.
Since I didn’t object, he set the GPS accordingly.
As the car rolled forward, I casually said, “I’ll be going on a business trip for a few days.”
“Business trip?” His fingers tightened around the steering wheel, his sharp eyes narrowing slightly. “With who? Jasper?”
“That’s right.” I nodded lightly and looked up to explain, “The crew needs to film a hunting ground scene, which requires shooting in Granbourn. There’s a suitable location there, and it will take about two to three days.”
“I’m going with you.” He declared without a second thought.
“No need.” I rejected him outright.
The last thing I needed was for him to follow me around. If he did, the entire crew would start buzzing with gossip again.

The entire production crew, over a hundred people, traveled by bus to the hunting grounds in Granbourn.
The director had arranged for the set to be prepared in advance, so all that was left was for the main actors to take their places and begin filming.
I glanced around. The area was lush and green, with towering trees forming a dense canopy overhead, allowing specks of sunlight to filter through.
The climate here was mild, making it a pleasant place to work. Filming in such a location was actually quite enjoyable.
Gordon approached us, holding the script in his hands. “In this scene, all of your lead actors will be riding horses for a hunting sequence. Don’t worry. The horses we selected are all extremely docile seniors. You just need to ride them through the motions.”
After confirming that everyone was ready, we took our positions.
I swung onto my horse in one fluid motion, moving with effortless agility. The other actors also mounted their horses and prepared for the scene.
“Mr. Wood, everyone is in position,” the assistant director called out over the walkie–talkie.
Gordon was just about to give the signal. “Action-”
This was the scene where I was supposed to gallop on horseback.
But the moment the horse started running, I knew something was wrong.
The horse had suddenly panicked and was completely out of my control!
I gripped the reins tightly and shouted, “My horse is spooked!”
I had trained in horseback riding before, so handling a normal horse was no issue for me.
But this one was going wild, ignoring all my commands. It thrashed violently, desperately trying to throw me off.
I clenched the reins with both hands, refusing to be thrown off. Falling at this speed would mean serious injury–if not worse.
D*mn it. I couldn’t afford to reveal my Alpha identity to everyone.
This was a problem.
Horses weren’t like wolves. It wouldn’t necessarily obey me even if I released an Alpha’s aura. If anything, it might get even more terrifying.
“Freya, if I can’t handle this, I’m letting you take over.”
“Got it. It’s just a horse–a piece of cake,” Freya replied confidently.

The people on set were already in a panic.
“What’s going on? That horse was perfectly fine before!”
“No idea! We double–checked everything–this shouldn’t be happening!”
“Ms. Sinclair is seriously unlucky. Why is it always her props that have problems?”
The crew kept their distance, afraid of getting kicked by the frenzied animal.

I took a deep breath, forcing myself to stay calm. Scanning the terrain, I searched for anything to help me stop this runaway horse.
Suddenly, the horse reared up on its hind legs, tilting my body backward.
If I fell from this height, my neck could snap on impact.
I clung to the reins with all my strength.
Then, a deep, husky voice cut through the chaos and reached my ears. “Rosaline, hold on!”
That voice–so familiar.
Caden!
I froze in shock. What was he doing here?!
At that moment, Caden stood like a god of war, holding a hunting bow. He swiftly nocked an arrow, aimed it at the crazed horse, and fired–hitting its carotid artery dead on.
The horse lost all strength instantly, its massive body collapsing to the ground.
“Ah-”
Thrown off balance, I tumbled downward.
I wasn’t afraid of rolling on impact, but the hard ground never came. Instead, I landed in a pair of strong, familiar arms.
“You’re safe now,” a calm, soothing voice whispered in my ear, filled with warmth and reassurance.
Slowly, I opened my eyes.
Sure enough, the first thing I saw was Caden’s chiseled face.
“Caden, it’s really you!”
Once again, he had saved me.
A wave of warmth spread through my heart. Without thinking, my arms instinctively wrapped around his
neck.

“Rosaline, don’t be scared. You’re fine now,” he murmured, holding me close. His deep voice brushed against my car. “I’m here. Don’t be afraid.”
That phrase–it was so familiar.
In the elevator, I was afraid of the dark, during the warehouse explosion, during the plane crash, and when I was lost at sea.
Each time, Caden had said the same thing. “Rosaline, don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
Such a simple sentence, yet it never failed to bring me immense comfort.
“Caden, thank you.” I lifted my gaze and met his deep, unreadable eyes, speaking sincerely.
He curled his lips into a smirk, looking down at me intently. “You’re the woman I love. Of course, I’ll protect you.”
His low, magnetic voice sent my heart racing.
By now, the director and assistant director had rushed over.
The ordeal lasted no more than three minutes, yet it had felt like an eternity. No one had been able to react in time.
Jasper strode forward, his expression dark as ink when he saw Caden holding me.
Out of everyone on set, Caden had been the first to react, grabbing a bow from the props department and saving me instantly.
Gordon, looking guilty, hesitated before speaking. “Uh… Mr. Holbrook, Ms. Sinclair, I don’t know what happened. These were all senior horses.”
Caden’s sharp, ice–cold gaze flicked to Gordon. “I don’t care what happened. The fact that an accident occurred means this was your mistake.”

Had I not secretly followed them to Granbourn, then Rosaline…

Lying lifelessly on the ground, the fallen horse had bled out completely. Just looking at it sent a chill down my spine.
“Take me over to have a look,” Rosaline whispered near my car. “Mr. Wood said these were old horses, and he wouldn’t be wrong about that. Elderly horses rarely have such bursts of energy–unless they’ve been drugged.”
“You suspect someone tampered with it?” I frowned. Something indeed felt off.
It was too much of a coincidence–every time something went wrong, it involved Rosaline’s props..
“Yes.” She nodded firmly.
I led her closer to the fallen horse. She lifted its eyelids for inspection, then examined its tongue. Her expression turned grave.
“Just as I thought,” Rosaline said coldly. “The horse was drugged.”
“Then the culprit behind this … ” I murmured, contemplating.
Her eyes narrowed slightly. “It must be the same person who’s been trying to harm me.”
Just then, Jasper arrived, bringing the horse’s owner along.
The owner, already aware of what had happened, rushed to explain, “I swear this has nothing to do with me! I even starved these horses for a few days beforehand so they wouldn’t be energetic. I never expected something like this to happen!”
His face was pale with fear.
After all, harming the CEO of Starplay Entertainment was a responsibility he could not bear.
Jasper’s gaze darkened as he looked at Rosaline, his concern evident. “Rosaline, what do you think?”
“Forget it. I’m unharmed anyway. It was probably just an accident,” she rubbed her temples. “Deal with the horse, find another, and let’s continue filming.”
Rosaline’s POV:
Before I could finish speaking, a sudden force gripped my waist, its warmth searing through my clothing.
In the next second–before I even had time to react–I was lifted into Caden’s arms in a bridal carry.
“Caden, what are you doing?” I struggled.
“You’re not filming anymore. His deep gaze locked onto mine, his tone brooking no argument.

“I didn’t expect you to be so strong. That arrow wasn’t even sharpened, yet you still managed to kill the horse with it,” I said, cradling the warm cup in my hands as I looked up at him.
Though I hadn’t been badly hurt, the scene with the crazed horse still left me shaken.
He scoffed, lips curling slightly. “You shouldn’t continue this film.”
Ignoring his statement, I scanned the room. Crew members bustled back and forth.
“You drove here, right?” I asked.
“Yes.” His face was grim, lips pressed into a thin line–clearly displeased.
“Then let’s talk in your car.” I stood up.
Caden strode forward, his long legs carrying him effortlessly as he led me outside and into his vehicle.
I settled into the plush passenger seat, stretching lazily. “Why are you here so suddenly?”
He was momentarily dazed by my movement before gripping my hand. “I was worried about you.”
I sighed. “You don’t have to worry. I already suspected something would happen.”
Someone tampered with my props last time, but I didn’t suffer serious injuries. The mastermind behind this wouldn’t give up so easily.
The horseback riding scene in this hunting ground is the perfect opportunity.
“I pretended to be unaware to lure the culprit out,” I slightly smiled.
Unexpectedly, Caden’s expression darkened further.
He suddenly leaned in, pressing me against the seat, his deep black eyes burning with restrained anger. “So you deliberately risked yourself as bait?”
“I…” Seeing the worry and frustration in his gaze, I suddenly felt guilty.
“Do you know what I saw when I arrived? You–about to fall off that crazed horse. Do you have any idea how terrified I was?” His voice was low, filled with uncharacteristic anxiety.
I was moved. I had never seen Caden like this before. I pursed my lips and reassured him softly, “Alright. I promise there won’t be a next time.”
His brow furrowed. “You’re still thinking about doing this again? Quit this film. Quit acting altogether.”
“No way!” I refused outright. “If I back out now, I’ll never find out who’s behind this. I’ve already decided, and I won’t change it.”
Though I understood Caden’s concern, I didn’t like being controlled.

“But if you continue filming, you’ll just keep putting yourself in danger. You predicted this attack- about the next one? Can you foresee every threat?” He suddenly reached out, gripping my arm, his sharp gaze piercing mine.

What does she mean?
Is she trying to sever ties with me?
“What did you just say?” I gritted my teeth, staring at her. “Repeat it.”
Just as Rosaline was about to speak, I leaned in and silenced her with a kiss.
“Mmph!” Her voice was muffled as I dominated her lips, leaving her no chance to respond.
My fierce and possessive kiss swept over her like a violent storm.
It wasn’t until she was breathless that I reluctantly let her go.
“What the hell are you doing!” Rosaline shot me an annoyed glare and wiped her lips.

I huffed, storming back to the driver’s seat, stepping on the gas, and speeding away from the set with her trapped in the car.
“Let me out!” Rosaline reached for the
or handle, but I had already locked it.
Ignoring her protests, I drove straight back to New Moon City. The moment I parked, she let out a huff, pushed the door open, and marched into the house, locking herself in her room without looking back.
Rosaline’s POV:
Leaning against the door, I listened to Caden’s footsteps outside.
He hesitated for a few seconds but didn’t knock.
Then, I heard him walking away, followed by the front door closing.
When I started warming up to him, he had to ruin it with his domineering ways.
After a long and exhausting day, our argument left me feeling even more drained.
I collapsed onto the bed.
Just as I was about to drift off, my phone rang.
I took it out and glanced at the screen–it was a call from Anthony.
I immediately picked up. “Hello, Anthony?”
Anthony’s voice came through the receiver, earnest and steady. “Wilda, I found what you asked me to investigate.”
I sat up, my expression sharpening. “Go on.”
“The person who tampered with the flowers at the launch ceremony was Candice.”

It was her.
I shouldn’t be surprised.
* Pearls
At the awards gala, I exposed her disgraceful behavior in front of everyone, destroying her reputation overnight.
It seems she’s been holding a grudge ever since and has been plotting her revenge.
I clenched my fingers and let out a cold laugh.
So, Candice has been orchestrating all these so–called ‘accidents‘ to get back at me?
This time, I won’t let her get away with it. “Wilda, what do you plan to do next?” Anthony asked. “Just say the word if you need my help,”
A smirk curled on my lips. “I have my own way of dealing with her.”
After hanging up, I was about to call Jasper when his name suddenly appeared on my screen.
“Jasper,” I answered.
His voice carried a hint of concern. “Rosaline, are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” I shook my head. “Actually, I need a favor.”
“Anything,” Jasper responded eagerly.
“Can you ask the director to add a role for the upcoming scenes? A pianist from Fostrau. And I want Candice to play the part.”
“Candice?” Jasper was momentarily stunned. “Why her?”
“I have my reasons. Just trust me on this one.”
“Alright,” Jasper agreed without hesitation. “Rosaline, whatever you need, I’ll take care of it.”
Jasper’s POV:
It’s rare for Rosaline to ask me for something.
Even if she wanted me to approach someone I despised, I wouldn’t hesitate.
Because I love her.
Sigh. Just thinking about how Caden had forcibly taken her away today made my heart bleed.
She still had feelings for that domineering heir.
Otherwise, with her temper, how could she have obeyed him so quickly?
But Rosaline was determined to find Candice, and I had a vague idea why.
Without hesitation, I dialed Candice’s number. “Candice, it’s Jasper.”

I was momentarily stunned. I had planned to send my assistant the contract for her to sign. But she wanted me to go in person?
“If you don’t come, I won’t agree,” Candice said, her tone hinting at playful coquettishness.
I frowned slightly but could only agree.
As night fell, I drove to her apartment.
Pressing the doorbell, I was greeted by Candice, dressed in a revealing silk slip dress.
Her eyes flickered with affection when she saw me. “Jasper, you’re here.”
I hadn’t expected her to be dressed so lightly. My brows furrowed, and I quickly averted my gaze.
Candice’s eyes dimmed slightly, but she soon laughed charmingly. “Sorry, I always dress casually at home. I’ll grab a jacket. Come in.”
I nodded and stepped inside. She slipped on a silk jacket, clinging to her figure in a way that made her silhouette even more enticing.
I sighed inwardly. After spending years in the entertainment industry, I knew precisely what Candice was getting at.
But I had no interest in this woman–not even for a second.
If not for Rosaline, I wouldn’t have come here at all.

Candice’s POV:
Jasper sat on the sofa, his gaze steady and unwavering.
I hadn’t expected him to be so distant and indifferent, and my heart sank in disappointment.
Initially, I had thought that Jasper reaching out meant he still had feelings for me.
But now…
I refused to accept this. Since Jasper had come here tonight, I had to seize this opportunity!
With this in mind, I poured a cup of tea and placed it before Jasper. “Here, have some coffee.”
“Thank you.” Jasper accepted it politely before taking out a script and handing it to me.

“This is the script,” he said in a neutral tone. “Take a look. The role has a fair number of lines but doesn’t require too much acting skill. You’ll be more than capable of handling it.”
I took the script and smiled seductively. “Of course. Since you’re asking for my help, how could I refuse?”
But instead of reading the script, I placed it on the coffee table.
I didn’t call Jasper here to talk about this role.
I had another purpose.
“Jasper, you should know that the reason I asked you to meet me in person isn’t just for this role.” I leaned toward him and reached out, gently holding his hand. Gazing up at him with teary eyes, I spoke softly, “Back then, I didn’t elope with another werewolf and flee abroad. I had my reasons.”
A flicker of disgust crossed Jasper’s face. He subtly withdrew his hand and leaned back, increasing the distance between us.
Seeing this, my heart clenched in pain. I sighed softly and said, “You must hate me now. I know what I did back then isn’t something you can forgive easily.
“But I want you to know. I truly loved you.
“Phantom Pack’s Alpha, my elder brother, forcibly sent me overseas. I didn’t even get a chance to explain it to you. All these years, my feelings for you have never wavered.”
The more I spoke, the more emotional I became. My eyes reddened as I pressed a hand to my heart. “Moon Goddess can be my witness. In this very place, only one person has ever lived in my heart–Jasper.”
The air grew heavy with tension. Jasper stared at me with an expressionless face.
“Jasper, please believe me. Everything I said is true. What happened back then was just a misunderstanding! Can we start over?” My eyes brimmed with unshed tears, my expression full of sorrow and longing.
However, Jasper remained unmoved. He coldly replied, “Candice, I’ve already made myself clear–I don’t want to talk about the past anymore. Whatever your reasons were back then, I don’t care. Because from beginning to end, my heart has only belonged to one person. And that person is Rosaline.”

With that, Jasper stood up, intending to leave.
“Jasper, don’t go!” Seeing him turn away, I panicked and hurried to stop him. In haste, I deliberately knocked over the cup on the coffee table.
The scalding coffee spilled all over Jasper’s pants.

“I–I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to!” I immediately apologized and reached for some tissues to wipe his clothes.
“Forget it.” Jasper frowned, glancing down at the stain on his pants.
Everything had gone exactly as planned.
The spill had landed on a particularly inconvenient spot, making it awkward for him to go out like that.
“I have some clothes at home,” I offered cautiously. “I can get you a change of clothes. You can’t go out like this.”
Jasper examined his soaked pants and nodded in reluctant agreement after a brief hesitation.
As an actor, he had to maintain a polished image. He couldn’t be seen in public with an embarrassing stain like this.
“I’ll go prepare the bath for you first,” I said before heading toward the bathroom.
Once inside, I shut the door and looked at myself in the mirror, flashing a triumphant smile.
Everything had gone according to plan!
I still didn’t understand why Jasper’s heart was so fixated on Rosaline!
What did she have that I didn’t?
Clenching my fists tightly, jealousy flared up inside me like a raging fire.
Tonight, no matter what, I would have the man I loved. No matter what it takes!
Determined, I opened the cabinet before me and retrieved a scented candle.
This particular candle had a unique effect.
A devious smile curved my lips as I lit the candle, setting it carefully on the counter before stepping out of the bathroom.
Casting a glance at Jasper, who still sat on the sofa with his usual impassive expression, I forced a gentle smile. “Jasper, the bath is ready. You go ahead and wash up. I’ll fetch the clothes for you.”
Jasper removed his jacket and walked into the bathroom.
As I watched him disappear inside, I knew I had won.
Then I went to retrieve the clothes.
After calculating the time, it should be enough. Holding the clothes in hand, I knocked lightly on the. bathroom door.

Tonight, I would give myself to him completely.

Seizing the moment, I placed the clothes aside and threw myself into his arms, my voice dripping with seduction. “Jasper, it’s me. I’m Rosaline.”
So what if he mistook me for Rosaline?

me!
Under the influence of the aphrodisiac, Jasper was already losing himself. He pulled me into his embrace, whispering Rosaline’s name repeatedly.
This was the man of my dreams! I passionately kissed him, my hands reaching down to grasp his arousal, determined to seduce him completely.
Come on, my love, lose yourself in me.
Jasper groaned with pleasure under my touch.
“Jasper, I love you so much!” One hand stroked his penis while the other wrapped tightly around his neck as I deepened the kiss.
He accepted my kiss, and soon, our tongues tangled.
His eyes were clouded with burning desire, his voice husky and filled with longing. “Ah, Rosaline. I love you, too. I’ve loved you for so many years. I’m so happy you’re finally willing to accept me.”
I swallowed down my jealousy and continued kissing him passionately.
The temperature in the bathroom rose steadily.
Jasper’s POV:
Her hands rushed over my penis.
Something felt off.
No–this wasn’t Rosaline!
Rosaline would never be this bold!
I shook my head furiously, struggling to clear my mind. A sliver of clarity broke through the haze, and I finally saw the woman in my arms clearly. Candice.

As the freezing water hit my skin, my senses returned utterly.
Disgust twisted in my stomach as I spat out a single word, “Get out!”
At that moment, I understood–1 had been drugged.
But how? I hadn’t eaten or drunk anything.
Then, I noticed the scented candle on the counter.
It had to be that!
Candice looked at me with pitiful eyes, feigning vulnerability.
When I shoved her away earlier, she had hit the sink.
I ignored her, hurriedly dress up and left without looking back.
On the way home, a wave of lingering fear swept over me.
How could I have mistaken her for Rosaline? I had nearly made a terrible mistake.
Luckily, I hadn’t inhaled too much of the aphrodisiac’s scent, or things would have ended badly.

Though last night’s plan hadn’t succeeded, being invited to guest star was still an opportunity delivered by fate itself.

Today’s shoot involved a kiss scene. Rosaline and Jasper shot the scene with a simple camera trick, and it was quickly approved.
But to me, watching Jasper hold Rosaline so intimately, I could tell this wasn’t just acting. His gaze was filled with genuine love.
The memory of last night resurfaced. The cold indifference Jasper showed me contrasted sharply with the tender affection he now lavished on Rosaline.
Rosaline, who stole Jasper–why won’t she die?!
Then, from the corner of my eye, I noticed Sarah standing nearby, her expression twisted with jealousy.
Hmm? Interesting.
I had long heard rumors about her undying love for Jasper and how she had chased after him relentlessly.
This was divine intervention!
At that moment, a group of crew members walked past, carrying props for the next scene.

Since someone else hated Rosaline as much as I did, why not let her take the fall?
I discreetly pulled out my phone and sent a message to the crew member I had bribed.
This time, Rosaline was doomed.

As the scene wrapped up, I approached Rosaline with a friendly smile, pretending to be enthusiastic.
“Ms. Sinclair, your performance with Jasper just now was incredible! Could you teach me some acting techniques?”
I feigned sincerity. “Even though Jasper said my role doesn’t require much acting skill, I still want to improve.”
Rosaline’s POV:
I quietly observed Candice’s face.
This woman had repeatedly caused trouble for me and even tried to harm me. Yet now she was acting friendly as if nothing had happened?
When someone acts overly kind without reason, they’re usually scheming something.
What was she up to now?
“Of course,” I agreed immediately.
I was curious to see what game she was playing.
We sat under the studio’s resting area as I explained the nuances of acting. Candice appeared to listen attentively.
Sarah happened to walk by and stopped abruptly, her tone dripping with sarcasm. “Ms. Sinclair, I didn’t know you were qualified to teach acting.”
I lifted my gaze to her, my brows slightly furrowing.
Someone like Sarah, who couldn’t control her emotions, was bound to suffer for it someday.
At that moment, Gordon, the assistant director, politely asked, “Ms. Sinclair, Sarah, are you both ready? We’re about to film the next scene.”
I nodded. “No problem, let’s begin.”

The fiancée discovered that Selina was pregnant, and after investigating, she found out that the child in Selina’s womb did not belong to an Alpha but was instead her first love’s child. Naturally, she couldn’t allow this illegitimate offspring to be born, so she secretly took Selina to a private villa for interrogation.
During the heated argument between Selina and the fiancée, Selina is accidentally injured by the latter.
“That bastard child in your belly must die! I will never let you give birth to it!” Sarah delivered her line with intense emotion, shouting at me furiously.
I clutched my belly, looking at her with fear, my voice trembling. “No way! Even if I die, I won’t let you harm my child!”
“Then die!” Sarah, playing the role of the fiancée, took a step closer, suddenly pulling out the dagger beside her and stabbing it toward me.
Jealousy filled Sarah’s eyes.
At that moment, she put all her strength into the action, holding the sharp blade and thrusting it at me with terrifying intensity.
Her emotions were so deeply immersed in the scene that the gleaming knife, carrying a chilling aura, came straight at me.
“Alpha, that knife isn’t right!” Freya’s warning rang in my mind.
I noticed it, too. The reflection and the blade’s edge–this was real!
With lightning reflexes, I rolled aside, dodging the strike.
Everyone froze.
According to the script, my character was supposed to be a timid girl who wouldn’t have dodged.
Sarah instantly broke character, frowning as she questioned me, “Ms. Sinclair, why aren’t you following the script?”
“If I had followed the script, I might have died under your blade.” I took a few steps back, narrowing my eyes
at her.
Sarah frowned. “What do you mean?”
The crew members were all confused, looking at me in bewilderment.
Without wasting words, I pointed at the knife in Sarah’s hand and said coldly, “Because that knife is real!”
“What?”
Everyone on set was stunned.
“A real knife?” Sarah looked down at the knife in disbelief.

“Rosaline, are you okay?” Jasper, who had been backstage preparing for the next scene, rushed over, his face filled with concern.
I shook my head. “It’s nothing, just a minor injury.”
Thankfully, I had dodged in time. The wound wasn’t too deep.
“Sarah, what is going on?” Jasper’s sharp gaze landed on Sarah.
Sarah trembled under his intense stare, and her grip loosened, causing the knife to clatter.
Just as Jasper was about to step forward and pick it up, I stopped him, my voice steady. “Don’t touch it. That knife is evidence.”
Jasper nodded in understanding.
I glanced at everyone and slowly said, “You all saw what happened. The prop knife was switched with a real one. Clearly, someone tampered with it, intending to harm me. And that person is still among us.”
As soon as I finished speaking, everyone exchanged nervous glances before all eyes landed on Sarah.
Sarah was stunned and quickly protested, “I had nothing to do with this! I don’t know why the prop knife was switched!”
“How can you say it’s none of your business? You were the one who almost stabbed Ms. Sinclair!” Candice suddenly stepped forward, pointing accusingly at Sarah.
Candice’s POV:
I knew exactly what this scene entailed, so I had someone secretly swap the prop knife, planning to use Sarah to kill Rosaline and then pin the blame on her.
Everything had been arranged perfectly. My previous attempts to harm Rosaline had failed, but I was sure this time would be different.
But somehow, Rosaline had managed to dodge!
She was just an Omega. How could she react so quickly?
Rosaline was unbelievably lucky. Even now, she was still alive!

“Oh? You sound so certain that Sarah did it?” Rosaline’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

Sarah quickly grabbed Rosaline’s hand. “Ms. Sinclair, you have to believe me! It really wasn’t me!”

“I have no grudge against Ms. Sinclair, why would I do such a thing?” Sarah retorted angrily, responding to my accusation.
“Because you’re jealous of Ms. Sinclair,” I replied coldly. “Earlier, while I was learning from Ms. Sinclair, you were mocking her openly. Many people witnessed it.”
Those around us nodded in agreement.
I smirked inwardly.
Sarah’s hostility towards Rosaline was evident.
And it was no secret she had feelings for Jasper.
Jasper’s affection for Rosaline was now undeniable.
So, Sarah’s jealousy leading her to tamper with the props seemed like a clear attempt to harm Rosaline.
This line of reasoning seemed perfectly logical to everyone.
Rosaline’s POV:
I observed Candice’s performance with a cold smirk, and said to Jasper, “Call the police!”
“Ms. Sinclair, it really wasn’t me, how could I do such a thing?” Sarah pleaded.
I nodded calmly, “Whoever it is, I will find out the truth. I won’t wrongly accuse anyone innocent, nor will I let the guilty go unpunished.”
At that moment, a staff member approached me.
I knew her as Lina Reid, and she looked cautious as she spoke, “Ms. Sinclair, there’s something I need to mention…”
“What is it?” I asked.
Lina whispered, “I just checked the props in the prop room, and I saw Ms. Conti taking away the knife.”
“Is that so?” I asked, maintaining my composure.
Before Lina could get a word out, Sarah interrupted sharply, “That’s ridiculous! When did I ever switch the knife?”
“Impossible, it couldn’t have been Ms. Conti,” Megan, who is Sarah’s agent, quickly added, defending her client. “I was with her the entire time and can vouch that she had nothing to do with this.”
“You’re Sarah’s agent, and everyone knows you’re close. How can we believe what you say?” Candice responded with a sneer.
“Ms. Reese, you need to back up your accusations with some proof!” Megan shot back at Candice angrily.

“Actually, just a few days ago, Ms. Conti herself expressed how unhappy she was with Ms. Sinclair,” Lina quickly chimed in, pulling out her phone. “I accidentally captured her words on that day. Here, listen for yourselves.”
As she played the recording, Sarah’s voice filled the air.
“Rosaline, that Omega b*tch, is definitely two–faced, flirting with Mr. Holbrook on one side, and cozying up to Jasper on the other. One day, I’ll make her pay.”
Candice smiled triumphantly. “Did everyone catch that? Sarah has been harboring resentment against Rosaline, and today she finally acted on it!”
“You’re lying! I haven’t done anything!” Sarah exclaimed, her face contorting with anger as she glared at Lina.
“It’s all your doing!” Sarah’s tone was fraught with accusation. “You baited me into badmouthing Rosaline that day. Was it all just a setup? Did you record it secretly?”
I looked at Sarah dispassionately, then turned my attention to Lina, asking coldly, “If you witnessed it, why didn’t you say anything at the time? Why didn’t you intervene?”
Caught off guard, Lina hesitated before responding quietly, “I’m just a lowly stagehand; how could I possibly confront Ms. Conti?”
“And now? You find the courage to confront her now?” I asked, the edge in my voice sharp.
Lina bit her lip, clearly struggling with her conscience. “Seeing you nearly get hurt today made me realize my mistake for staying silent. I blame myself for not speaking sooner, so I’ve decided it’s time to tell the truth. I can’t keep quiet any longer.”
Just then, a props staff member who had been lingering in the background stepped forward and suddenly knelt down, causing a stir.
“Ms. Sinclair, I apologize!” he blurted out, remaining on his knees.
Looking down at him, I asked without any visible emotion, “What’s the matter? Stand up and explain yourself.”
He stayed kneeling, his expression filled with remorse as he confessed, “Ms. Sinclair, the screw on the swing coming loose earlier wasn’t just an accident. It was…
“What was it?” My cold gaze fixed on him.
“P
The props staff member hesitated, took a deep breath, and then with determination, said, “I deliberately loosened the screw on the swing.”
The confession stunned everyone around.
“Why would you do that?” Jasper stepped forward, grabbed the props staff member by the chest, and asked in a deep voice.
“It was… it was Ms. Conti who instructed me to do this,” the staff member said, looking up at Sarah cautiously.
Sarah was taken aback and exclaimed, “What nonsense are you spewing? When did I ever instruct you? I have no issues with you; why would you frame me like this?”

“Ms. Conti, I’ve been plagued by guilt these past few days. Here is the check you gave me, and now I’m giving it back to you,” the props staff member said as he took out a check from his pocket and stuffed it into Sarah’s arms.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Sinclair, I was foolish for a moment, I was greedy for money, and did something I shouldn’t have done. Please forgive me!” The props staff member continued to apologize.
“And also, the time your horse had an accident, that was no accident either,” he continued. “It was also Ms. Conti who instructed me to give the horse a stimulant, so…

“Don’t try to deny it, I don’t know you at all!” Sarah’s voice shook as she spoke.

“Ms. Conti, this is the check you gave me. How can you say you don’t know me?” The props staff member challenged, holding up the check that bore Sarah’s signature.
At this, Sarah stood dumbstruck, her mouth hanging open, unable to respond.
Now, all the evidence seemed to point to Sarah having orchestrated a scheme to harm me behind my back.
I observed the unfolding scene with a detached coolness, my lips curling slightly.
Candice had proved to be quite adept, managing to bribe so many into harming me while trying to frame Sarah.
Just then, several officers arrived on the scene.
“Mr. Sullivan, did you call this in? What’s happened here?” one of the officers asked Jasper.
“There was an intentional injury incident on our set just now,” Jasper explained gravely.
Before the officers could respond further, Candice stepped forward. “Officer, the person who’s been trying to harm Ms. Sinclair is Sarah. Now we have two eyewitnesses and physical evidence against her. She needs to be taken to the station!”
She was clearly eager to settle the matter swiftly, pinning all the blame on Sarah to ensure her own safety.
I watched her maneuver coldly.
This time, her intent was not directly to harm me but to exonerate herself and escape unscathed.
There was no way I was going to let her slip away so easily.
“Is this the knife?” The officer’s attention turned to the knife lying on the ground.
I stepped forward. “That’s correct.”
The werewolf officer then turned to a colleague from the forensic department. “Check for fingerprints,” he instructed.
“Understood.” The forensic officer donned their gloves, crouched down, and carefully lifted the knife.
“Mr. Sullivan, Ms. Sinclair, please accompany me to give your statements,” the werewolf officer requested.
“Of course.” I nodded in agreement.
We moved to a nearby rest area where several werewolf officers began taking statements from all involved.

However, Sarah remained adamant in her denial. “I’ve never done such a thing. I was with Megan during the break, and she can confirm my alibi.”
“Yes, officer, I can vouch for her, Ms. Conti didn’t do this,” Megan quickly interjected.
“Officer, Megan is Sarah’s manager, and her testimony isn’t impartial. I’m certain it was Sarah who instructed me,” Lina stressed.
The officer diligently noted everything down and assured, “We will investigate thoroughly.”
Soon, the results of the fingerprint analysis were ready. The forensic officer brought the report over to the officer taking statements. “According to our analysis, only Sarah’s fingerprints were found on the knife.”
“See, it was Sarah all along!” Candice quickly chimed in, eager to close the case. “With all this evidence, there’s no way Sarah can deny it!”
“No, it’s not me!” Sarah pleaded, her eyes searching mine for belief. “Ms. Sinclair, I truly didn’t do it.”
I gently patted Sarah’s shoulder, my expression unreadable. “The fact that only Sarah’s fingerprints are on the knife actually suggests she isn’t our culprit.”
Candice looked puzzled. “Ms. Sinclair, what do you mean?”
“What I mean is that the real mastermind, the one manipulating things behind the scenes to set me up, isn’t Sarah,” I explained calmly.
“But how can that be? The police just confirmed that only Sarah’s fingerprints are on the knife. If not her, then who?” Candice asked, her voice betraying a hint of panic.
A flicker of unease passed through Candice’s eyes as she clenched her fists.
I allowed myself a small, knowing smirk.
Pointing at the knife in the forensic officer’s hand, I spoke coldly, “Sarah was the one using this knife during the filming, so naturally, her fingerprints would be on it. But isn’t it odd that hers are the only fingerprints found?”
Jasper glanced at me. “Rosaline, are you suggesting …
“1
I gave a sarcastic smirk. “This knife, from its production and purchase to its arrival on set, surely passed through more hands than just Sarah’s. It’s impossible for only her fingerprints to be on it.”
After a brief pause, I continued, “Yet now, it seems only Sarah’s fingerprints are on it. Why? The only explanation is that someone, intending to swap the knife, wiped it clean of fingerprints to avoid leaving their own. Afterward, the only person who touched it was Sarah during the shoot.”

“Ms. Sinclair’s reasoning makes sense. It appears that the real culprit is someone else. Who could be so malicious as to harm Ms. Sinclair?”
“But if it wasn’t Ms. Conti, why did Lina and the others insist that it was Ms. Conti who gave the orders?”
“Could this be a case of framing and shifting the blame?”
“Who exactly is behind this? Why would they do such a thing?”
Hearing these whispers, Candice’s expression shifted involuntarily.
“Maybe Sarah felt guilty and wiped off the fingerprints herself?” Candice suggested, biting her lip.
Sarah looked at Candice angrily. “Ms. Reese, what do you mean by that? Why are you targeting me repeatedly?”
“I’m not targeting you; I’m just stating the facts,” Candice responded, taking a deep breath. “Sarah, you might as well confess now!”
“Facts?” I sneered, my gaze icy as it fell on Candice. “The real fact here is that the mastermind plotting against me is you, Candice!”
As I spoke, all eyes suddenly turned towards Candice.
Candice’s complexion altered. “Ms. Sinclair, what do you mean by that?”
“I mean exactly what I said.” My stare was unyielding. “You’re the one orchestrating everything behind the scenes, trying to frame Sarah as the mastermind.”
“Rosaline, stop accusing me without evidence!” Candice protested, her teeth clenched. “What proof do you have that it was me?”
“Of course, I have proof,” I said calmly, a smile playing on my lips. “Candice, haven’t you heard the saying, ‘If you want to keep a secret, don’t do it‘? You thought you could covertly harm me and get away with it?”
“You’re talking nonsense, I did nothing!” Overwhelmed by my questioning and assertive presence, Candice took an involuntary step back.
She was beginning to panic but still clung to a sliver of hope, thinking perhaps I was merely speculating.
She soon regained her composure, met my steely gaze, and scoffed, “Rosaline, you need proof for accusations. You can’t just throw around allegations that I’m trying to harm you. I only joined the cast as a guest pianist yesterday; how could I orchestrate all this?”

Candice’s expression flickered as she heard the murmurs,
“Rosaline, you’re slandering me, believe it or not, I will sue you for defamation!” Candice declared, her voice rising in an attempt to intimidate.
“Defamation or not, you know the truth,” I responded coolly, my arms crossed as I faced her. “Let’s start from the beginning, with the bouquet at the launch.
“You had someone tamper with the flowers, knowing I’m allergic to platinum, and had them dust the bouquet with platinum powder to harm me, right?” I asked calmly.
“These are baseless accusations! I’ve done no such thing!” Candice protested, her composure slipping.
I smirked slightly and pulled out my phone. “Perhaps you should watch these videos before denying further.”
I played the video sent by Anthony.
It showed a coffee shop scene.
Two young girls, the werewolf students who had given flowers at the launch, were seated by the window.
“We have to make it to Jasper’s play launch tonight, Elsa!” the girl in blue excitedly said. “My brother works at Starplay Entertainment; he can get us in.”
“Absolutely!” the girl in red, Elsa, agreed enthusiastically. “I’d love to get Jasper’s autograph and a photo with him. I adore him!”
“We should give him flowers; we’ll definitely get into the entertainment news,” the girl in blue plotted.
Elsa grinned, “Sure! I heard Ms. Sinclair is going to be at the launch tonight too. Honestly, she and Jasper would make a great pair.”
“Then let’s get two bouquets, one for each of them.”
The two werewolf girls chatted excitedly. The scene then shifted to a fashionably dressed werewolf woman sitting next to the two girls, unmistakably Candice!
As she eavesdropped on the two girls, Candice’s eyes narrowed, a calculative look crossing her face.
I turned off the video and confronted Candice coldly, “You overheard these two students planning to attend “The Call of the Wolf’ launch and give flowers to me and Jasper, so you decided to tamper with th bouquets.”
“Ms. Sinclair, you’re letting your imagination run wild. Just because I was there having coffee, you think

The focus was again on the two werewolf female students, each holding a bouquet intended for Jasper and me at the launch event.
“I’m so nervous,” the girl in the blue dress admitted, a mix of anxiety and excitement in her voice, “Do you think Jasper will let us go up and present the flowers?”
Elsa was just as thrilled. “He should! I’ve heard Jasper is really nice to his fans, so we’ll just rush up there later.”
While they were chatting, a tall werewolf walked towards them, distracted by his phone, and accidentally bumped into them.
“Ouch!” The collision caught the girls off guard, causing them to fall and their bouquets to drop.
“I’m so sorry, I didn’t see you there,” the werewolf apologized profusely as he helped them up, picking up the bouquets.
“You dropped these, sorry about that.”
I slowed down this part of the video, making it evident that the werewolf quickly dusted a significant amount of silver powder into the bouquets as he handed them back.
I replayed the clip. “Did everyone catch that? The platinum powder in the bouquets that day was deliberately added by someone.”
Candice’s POV:
Seeing this video made my heart race.
How did Rosaline get her hands on this footage?
I was sure there were no cameras in that area.
I must stay composed; I can’t afford to look unsettled.
“So what?” I forced myself to speak calmly, masking the panic in my eyes, “Even if it was deliberate, everyone can see it was done by that werewolf. What does that have to do with me?”
“Yes, that werewolf,” Rosaline responded with a slight smirk, “But he’s actually a bodyguard from the Phantom Pack. And you, Candice, were the one who directed him to tamper with the bouquets.”
“You really have a talent for storytelling, Rosaline. I don’t even know this werewolf, how could he possibly be a bodyguard from the Phantom Pack? Stop trying to frame me,” I retorted, my lips tight.
I had made arrangements for this werewolf bodyguard to leave the country. As long as I firmly denied knowing him, what could Rosaline possibly do?
“Do you really not know him?” Rosaline sneered, then tapped on her phone and displayed a photo.
In the photo, there I was with several people dressed as werewolf bodyguards.

“Do you still claim you don’t know him?” Rosaline pointed to the photo, her voice icy with challenge.
“Who knows if that photo is real or doctored? Maybe you photoshopped it,” I shot back, my anxiety creeping up.
I thought today would be the day I took down Rosaline and pin everything on Sarah, but everything was spiraling out of control.
“Photoshopped?” Rosaline cleared her throat to speak, but suddenly a clear male voice interrupted, “Why not let him speak for himself?”
Rosaline’s POV:
Turning to the source of the voice, my heart skipped a beat.
There stood Caden, dressed in a smoke gray handmade suit that accentuated his perfect figure, making him appear especially tall and commanding.
The powerful aura he exuded caused everyone around to step aside, clearing a path for him.
Caden walked steadily towards me, his steps measured.
Behind him, two werewolf warriors escorted a disheartened werewolf.
I was taken aback and looked up at Caden. “How did you get here?”
Since our argument days ago, we had been giving each other the silent treatment, and Caden had often been absent.
Now, his sudden appearance on set took me by surprise.
Caden took a long step forward, stood close, and whispered so only I could hear, “I came to help you.”
The warmth of his breath against my ear sent a shiver down my spine, flushing my cheeks with an involuntary blush.
I shifted slightly, creating some distance between us.
Did he always have to flirt, no matter the circumstance?
Just days ago, we were locked in a standoff, the air between us cold with unsaid frustrations.
My attention was drawn back to the werewolf being led forward by Caden’s guards.
There was something strikingly familiar about him.
I rubbed my temples, piecing it together–that was the werewolf from the video, the one from Phantom Pack that I had identified as a bodyguard.
Indeed, it was him.
Although his current appearance was a stark contrast to how he looked in the video, the recognition was immediate.

“…” The werewolf bodyguard hesitated, then resolved himself and said, “It was Ms. Candice who told me to do this. Oh, she is actually ranked second among the younger members of the Phantom Pack”
“Nonsense!” Candice’s voice quivered slightly.
“Mr. Holbrook, I’m not making this up, it really was Candice who instructed me to do this. The man shuddered under the intensity of my cold demeanor.
“This lowly Omega is framing me, don’t believe him!” Candice raised her voice slightly in protest.
I glanced at the werewolf warrior beside me.
Understanding my look, the warrior quickly stepped forward and removed the bodyguard’s shirt.
Revealed on his back was a dragon–shaped tattoo with the word “Phantom” inscribed beneath it.
The crowd murmured in shock as they caught sight of the tattoo.
“Oh my god, what is that?”
“It looks like some kind of symbol.”
“And there are words, too.”
“Yes, it appears to be the word ‘Phantom“.”
“That’s right, it says ‘Phantom, so he must be a bodyguard from the Phantom Pack.”
Rosaline stepped forward, her tone icy, “As everyone can see, the tattoo on this man’s back is the mark of a Phantom Pack bodyguard. It’s standard for all their bodyguards.”
The crowd nodded, murmuring in agreement, “Indeed.”
“I can’t believe Candice would stoop so low, tsk tsk…‘

Rosaline then turned her cold gaze to Candice and asked calmly, “What do you have to say for yourself now?”
Candice’s face paled further, and she pressed her lips together tightly, on the verge of speaking. The werewolf bodyguard on the ground looked up guiltily, “I’m sorry, Ms. Candice.”
“Useless!” Candice snapped, stepping forward and slapping the werewolf hard across the face.
“Weren’t you supposed to be abroad? Why did you come back?”
Her own words inadvertently confirmed her involvement in the schemes.
The werewolf bodyguard bowed his head, a picture of helplessness.

everyone what happened at the launch. It was no accident, but a deliberate act by Candice to harm me. Candice, there is ample evidence against you. I’m not wronging you, am I?”
Faced with Rosaline’s commanding presence, Candice took an involuntary step back.
“Even if I did instruct him to add platinum powder to the bouquet, so what? It just caused an allergic reaction, and you’re fine now,” Candice retorted defiantly.
With undeniable evidence laid out before her, Candice had no option but to acknowledge her misdeeds. Still, she attempted to diminish the gravity of her actions by merely describing them as causing an allergy.
Rosaline smirked coldly, “Calm down. This was just the first of your attempts to harm me. There are three more incidents to discuss. We will address each one.”
Candice, still in denial, struggled to deflect the blame. “Everything else was Sarah’s doing. She was jealous, disliked you, and wanted to hurt you

Sarah, overhearing this, glared furiously at Candice. “Stop trying to frame me! Thankfully, Rosaline uncovered evidence, and I completely understand now.”
Pointing accusingly at Candice, she added, “You orchestrated all this. You planned to harm Rosaline and pin it on me. How could you be so cruel?”
Rosaline then turned her icy gaze to the prop staff member. “You deliberately loosened those screws to harm me, an act of intentional harm. If you’re willing to speak the truth now, to identify the real mastermind, I might consider not holding you accountable.”
The prop staff member hesitated, his eyes flickering between Rosaline and Candice, who was glaring at him menacingly.
He shivered, took a deep breath, and repeated his earlier statement, “I was telling the truth earlier; it was Sarah who instructed me.”
Seeing that he was still not telling the whole truth, Rosaline narrowed her eyes, took the check from his hand, and asked coldly, “You said this check was given to you by Sarah to buy your silence, correct?”
“Yes,” the staff member nodded hastily.
“And the signature on it is Sarah’s, right?” Rosaline pressed further.
“Yes,” the staff member confirmed.
“We’ll confirm whether it’s Sarah’s actual signature after verification,” Rosaline said lightly, a faint smile playing on her lips.
Just then, a young man with dyed blonde hair approached and whistled at Rosaline, “Hey, Ms. Sinclair, we meet again.”
All eyes turned to him, and it did not take long for someone to recognize him as the renowned hacker, Anthony.
“It’s Anthony!” someone exclaimed.
“Wow, to see Anthony in person today, I didn’t expect him to be so young.”
“Did Ms. Sinclair invite him for handwriting analysis?”

He opened his laptop, rapidly typed some code, and soon announced, “No match!”

I paused, letting my voice grow cold, my gaze piercing into Candice.
Before Candice could respond, Lina suddenly stepped forward and collapsed to her knees in front of me. “Ms. Sinclair, I’ll confess! It was Candice who instructed me!”
Lina’s sudden confession caught me off guard.
I looked down at Lina. “Stand up and explain yourself.”
Nodding vigorously, Lina got to her feet. “Ms. Sinclair, I won’t hide anything. It was all orchestrated by Candice. She told me to drug your horse and switch out the prop knife. I’m so sorry, Ms. Sinclair!”
“Lina, what nonsense are you spouting?!” Candice exclaimed, glaring daggers at Lina for her betrayal.
“Ms. Reese, I’m sorry. I can’t bury my conscience anymore. I need to tell the truth.” Lina’s eyes welled up with tears.
“It’s my fault. I did it for the money, betraying Ms. Sinclair. But it was because of my brother … He’s ten, with a severe heart condition, and the surgery is too expensive. I had no other way to get the money,” Lina choked out, her voice trembling.
“That’s when Ms. Reese approached me, offering a substantial sum and promising to bring a renowned -surgeon for my brother if I followed her orders. For my brother’s sake, I agreed. I couldn’t bear to watch
him suffer any longer, and the thought of losing him was unbearable,” Lina sobbed.
“For days now, I haven’t slept peacefully. The nightmares won’t stop, and I know I was wrong. Ms. Sinclair, I’m truly sorry for betraying you like this. I shouldn’t have done it for money!” Lina continued, bowing her head repeatedly.
My brow furrowed as I stepped forward to help her up. “Get up.”
With Lina standing, my icy gaze shifted back to Candice. “Candice, do you have anything to say?”
“It’s a lie, she’s framing me … ” Candice’s face turned pale, desperately clinging to her facade.
Before Candice could finish, the crew members stepped aside to clear a path. A tall man in a black suit, wearing gold–rimmed glasses, strode in. He was a werewolf with an authoritative presence.
“Shut up!” he barked at Candice.
“Brother?” Candice looked up, shocked to see him.
Narrowing my eyes, I recognized the formidable werewolf as Cyrus Reese, Alpha of the Phantom Pack and Candice’s brother.
“Candice, how could you do something so foolish? You’ve disappointed me greatly!” Cyrus glared at } voice commanding. “Apologize to Ms. Sinclair right now!”

Candice clutched her stinging cheek, staring at Cyrus in disbelief. “You hit me? How could you hit me for that Omega?”
Her delicate features twisted with rage, making her look almost sinister.
Everyone around was stunned, watching the scene unfold.
“Ms. Sinclair, I apologize for my sister’s actions. I take full responsibility. As an Alpha I should have disciplined her better. I promise to prevent anything like this from happening again.” Cyrus bowed deeply to me. “Please accept my deepest apologies, Ms. Sinclair,”
I smirked slightly.
I understood perfectly well that Cyrus’s dramatic act–publicly reprimanding Candice and now earnestly apologizing–was all to shield her.
Candice’s actions were serious crimes within the pack.
Clearly, Cyrus cherished his sister deeply.
“Very well, for the sake of the Phantom Pack’s Alpha, I’ll let this go today. But remember, Alpha, keep your sister in line. If this happens again, I won’t be so lenient

Cyrus signaled the driver to go. Watching the filming location recede, I fumed. “Cyrus, you humiliated yourself by apologizing to Rosaline. You’ve disgraced the Phantom Pack!”

“Who cares about that lowly Omega!?” I gritted my teeth in rage.
Cyrus shot me an exasperated look. “Rosaline is not someone you can afford to mess with.”
Seeing the seriousness in Cyrus’s eyes, I shrank back slightly, though inside, I remained defiant. A mere Omega with some wealth–she wasn’t as formidable as Cyrus made her out to be.

“Ms. Sinclair, I understand! I’ll work hard and make you proud, I promise.” Warmth filled my heart as I spoke sincerely.
Rosaline’s POV:
I hoped this experience would be a valuable lesson for Sarah, driving her to work harder on her acting skills and ultimately become a deserving award–winning actress.
“Alright, let’s continue filming!” I announced, unintentionally glancing at Caden standing nearby.
I was genuinely afraid he might pull the same stunt as last time and whisk me away without a word.
Fortunately, this time, he didn’t. He just stood there, expressionless, watching me.
Alright, the big guy is behaving; maybe I’ll cook him something nice later as a reward.
It wasn’t until I finished filming for the day that Caden approached. “Let’s go home.”
I nodded and got into his car.
“Why did you come over suddenly today?” I had been curious about this all day.
Caden glanced at me sideways. “I told you, I came to help you.”
So… Caden really came specifically to help me?
“You’re not mad anymore?” My heart warmed, and a smile tugged at my lips.
Caden raised an eyebrow. “It seemed like you were the one who was mad.”
“Really? Haven’t you been ignoring me these past few days … ” I bit my lip.
Yes, I was angry–angry at Caden’s overbearing attitude and his tendency to make decisions for me. I just wanted him to stop controlling me, but instead, he started giving me the cold shoulder.

“What are you doing? Drive!” My face heated up, and I quickly pushed him away.
I kept busy on set for several days, and finally, my scenes were all shot.
“Ms. Sinclair, we’re hosting a banquet tomorrow night at the Grand Royale Hotel. You must come!” Gordon said after our last scene together.
Faced with Gordon’s enthusiastic invitation, I naturally agreed. “Of course!”
Gordon was Starplay Entertainment’s top director–dedicated and responsible. I had a good impression of him. Since it was a banquet organized by the production team, it was only right for me, as the big boss, to attend.
However, as soon as I returned to New Moon City, I felt unwell. I started coughing and sneezing incessantly.
I had caught a cold.
During our last scene this morning, I had gotten soaked in the rain. I thought I’d be fine, but I ended up catching a cold anyway.
“Rosaline, you must come to the banquet at 7 p.m. tomorrow at the Grand Royale Restaurant,” I read Jasper’s WhatsApp message while sitting on the living room couch. Just then, another sneeze escaped me,
and I quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe my nose.
“Here, take your medicine.”
Caden approached with a cup of hot water and some medicine, glancing at my phone screen as he handed them to me.
His face darkened instantly. He snatched the phone from my hand, his gaze icy. “You’re sick. You’re not going to that banquet tomorrow.”
“That’s not possible. I’ve already agreed to go. How can I back out now?” I was annoyed at having my phone taken away.
“Have you forgotten you’re seriously ill right now? Going out in this condition will only make it worse, potentially turning into pneumonia. Rosaline, do you have a death wish?” Caden’s voice was stern as he shoved the water cup into my hand and pushed the medication towards me.
“Fine, I’ll take the medicine.”
I took the water with my left hand, the medication with my right, and swallowed it. Then, looking up at Caden, I spoke firmly. “But I’m going to that banquet tomorrow night.”
I’ve always prided myself on keeping my word. A simple cold wouldn’t deter me, not with my Alpha resilience. I would recover with a bit of rest.
Taking Caden’s medicine was just to humor him, make him think I was recovering slowly.

The next moment, a strong pair of arms wrapped around my waist, lifting me off the ground. Caden held me effortlessly, carrying me sideways.
I struggled in vain, eventually wrapping my arms around his neck and frowning. “Caden, what are you doing?”
“Keeping you here,” he whispered in a low voice into my car. “You’ll stay here and miss the banquet. Then, I’ll let you out.”

Caden’s brow furrowed, and he gently laid me on the bed, tucking me in with utmost care.
“Be good, alright?” he soothed, his voice unusually gentle.
I was stunned. I hadn’t expected him to be this tender to coax me.
“Alright, fine. I won’t go. I’m tired,” I said with a lazy yawn, curling up on my side. “Goodnight, I’m going to sleep.
“Goodnight.”
-Satisfied that I’d conceded, Caden smirked and left the room.
Watching his tall, commanding figure retreat, I sighed softly.
“Alpha, that heir of the Eclipse Pack is wonderful in every way except being too overbearing,” Freya remarked lazily.
I mentally agreed. Caden’s concern could be touching at times, but I detested being controlled.
If he forbids me from attending tomorrow’s banquet, I’ll sneak out anyway.
After all, tomorrow Caden will be at work at Eclipse Group, and I’ll be home recuperating. I can go wherever I want.
Caden, you don’t control me!
Sleep.
The next morning, I woke up to find Caden’s handsome, chiseled face right before my eyes.
“Rosaline, how are you feeling?” Caden asked, concern lacing his voice.
I sniffled. “Much better.”

“I told you I’m fine. Why so nervous? You forget I know medicine?” I said nonchalantly. “It’s late. You should
get to work!”
“I’ll stay home with you,” Caden suggested, a slight grin tugging at his lips.
“No need. Go to work, or I’ll be upset!” I insisted.
Caden stood up. “Alright, I’ll go. Rest well and call me if you need anything.”
“Got it,” I replied, eager for him to leave.
The Eclipse Pack’s heir’s overprotectiveness was becoming quite the bother.
Finally, Caden left for work. If he had stayed, I wouldn’t have been able to sneak off to the banquet at the Grand Royale Hotel later this afternoon.
In the afternoon, after getting ready, I headed downstairs only to land in someone’s solid, warm embrace.
Caden’s voice, cool and clipped, came from above me. “Where do you think you’re going?”
Caden? He’s back!
I looked up into his stern eyes and spoke resolutely. “I’m feeling much better. I’m going to the banquet. Don’t try to stop me.”
Caden’s face darkened. He grabbed my chin, pressing me against the door frame, leaning in commandingly.
Determined, I stared right back at him, stubborn as ever. A slight cough escaped me, though.
Mistaking my cough for lingering illness, Caden’s stern demeanor softened. He leaned in close, speaking lowly in my ear. “If you insist on going, fine. But I’ll take you.”
His warm breath caressed my cheek, sending shivers down my spine.
This man… always making my heart skip a beat.
Caden drove me to the Grand Royale Hotel.
“We’re here,” he said, stepping out to open the car door for me. “You’re still not fully recovered. I’ll walk you
in.”
“There’s no need. I can go in by myself. I’ll call you when I’m done,” I replied quickly, pushing him back towards the car before heading for the hotel entrance.
Wendy’s POV:
“Wendy, is that Rosaline?” Lilian pointed to Rosaline’s retreating figure as she entered the hotel.
I saw it too, with Caden standing at the entrance, watching her go inside.
Lilian whispered beside me, “My cousin said the ‘The Call of the Wolf‘ cast is having a banquet here tonight.”

“Really?” I felt a surge of jealousy seeing Caden drive away.
That lowly Omega Rosaline… what’s so special about her?
Why does Caden care so much about her?
I had gone to great lengths to instigate Candice against Rosaline, but she came out unscathed!
Candice turned out to be useless, squandering all my behind–the–scenes efforts!
Tonight, I’ll make Rosaline the laughingstock of the night. Caden won’t look twice at her after this!
I turned to Lilian, whispering instructions in her car. “You know what to do. Slip something into Rosaline’s drink.”
“Got it, Wendy,” Lilian agreed at once.
Recalling Annie’s last failure, I narrowed my eyes and added, “Make sure it’s colorless and tasteless. We can’t let that Omega suspect anything.”
“No problem,” Lilian nodded.
I smiled in satisfaction.
This time, that Omega Rosaline won’t escape!

I found the banquet hall and walked in. The sight of several large tables crowded with dozens of cheerful people from our film crew, all laughing and enjoying themselves, was heartwarming.
As soon as they saw me, everyone paused to greet me.
“Good evening, Ms. Sinclair!”
“Please, continue,” I said, giving them a polite smile.
Gordon stood up and called out loudly, “Ms. Sinclair, over here!”
I walked over and saw that the only available seat was next to Jasper.
I sat down. “Sorry I’m late. Something came up.”
Gordon laughed good–naturedly. “Not at all, Ms. Sinclair. We’re honored to have you join us.”
I smiled and took a deep breath, trying to ease the lingering congestion in my nose.
Jasper immediately noticed and asked with concern, “Rosaline, are you okay?”
“I have a little cold,” I answered calmly.
“Are you sure you’re alright? I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were feeling unwell,” Jasper said, sounding a bit guilty.
“It’s nothing, just a slight cold,” I replied lightly.
Jasper looked at me, a bit of sadness in his eyes. Now that my scenes were done, we wouldn’t see each other every day anymore.
Such a devoted man.
Just as Jasper was about to say something, a werewolf waitress approached.
“Miss, may I refill your drink?” she asked, holding a jug of juice and smiling warmly.
Noticing my glass was nearly empty, I nodded.
After she refilled my drink, I casually took a few sips.
Several assistant directors and producers came over to chat, and I gradually finished my drink.
Possibly because the cold dulling my senses, I didn’t notice anything unusual about the drink.
After everyone left, I remained at the table, suddenly feeling a wave of heat wash over me. My body started to feel out of control.
What’s happening?!
A warning bell rang in my mind. Could it be a fever?

But if it were a fever, why would my body be reacting this way?

Narrowing my eyes, I looked towards the waitress who had refilled my drink. She quickly averted her gaze, avoiding cye contact.
Just as I suspected…
My heart sank. I looked around at the people at the table and said, “I’m feeling a bit tired. I’ll go rest in the lounge.”
With that, I quickly stood and left.
The waitress immediately came over, offering her arm. “Ms. Sinclair, are you feeling unwell? Let me help you to the lounge.”
I gave her a measured look and nodded. “Alright.”
She assisted me to the lounge on the second floor.
“Rest here, and I’ll get you some hot water,” she said, helping me to the couch before leaving the room.
As she closed the door behind her, I narrowed my eyes, feeling increasingly uncomfortable.
This sensation … it was all too familiar.
I had felt this way before, the last time someone drugged me at a bar.
That waitress must have spiked my drink!
Feeling restless and hot, I tugged at my collar and reached for my phone to call Caden, but it was nowhere to be found. That waitress must have stolen it to prevent me from calling for help.
D*mn it, the drug was potent, almost undetectable, and possibly laced with wolfsbane, otherwise, Freya
would’ve sensed it.
Jasper’s POV:
Rosaline had left abruptly, her rosy cheeks indicating something was wrong.
Worried, I was about to check on her when a werewolf waitress approached. “Mr. Sullivan, Ms. Sinclair said she wasn’t feeling well and hoped you could check on her.”
“Okay.” Without hesitation, I followed the waitress to the lounge.
As soon as I entered, I saw Rosaline on the couch, tugging at her clothes. Her neckline slipped, revealing her delicate, pale shoulder.
Her lips were slightly parted, soft moans escaping, and her legs shifting restlessly.
My breath caught in my throat.
The woman I loved was right in front of me, in such an alluring state. I felt my blood rush.
What happened to Rosaline?
Something was very wrong!

I shut the door behind me, trying to keep calm, but then a wave of heat surged through my abdomen, quickly spreading to my head.
Looking at Rosaline again, she seemed even more tantalizing.
She swayed her hips, her half–opened lips breathing out a sweet, floral scent. She was mesmerizing.
My throat went dry.
All I could see was her nearly bared chest, the lace of her bra hinting at the pale, soft flesh underneath and her enticing, rose–pink teats.
“Rosaline, I … I really love you.”
I moved closer, tugging at my tie, and ripping open my shirt’s collar.
My entire body felt like it was on fire, driven by a primal urge as I leaned over Rosaline’s warm, inviting form, pressing against her.

Suddenly, I felt a heavy weight pressing down on me. I opened my eyes slightly and found Jasper’s eyes, filled with desire, staring back at me.
He looked just like me–his face unnaturally flushed. He kept murmuring my name.
“Rosaline, Rosaline, I love you so much. Really, I do. So much…
He held me tightly, his hands wandering over my chest.
He’s been drugged too!
Just like me!
I tried to push him away but lacked the strength. Summoning all my willpower, I bit down on my tongue, the pain jolting me back to some semblance of clarity.
With a surge of effort, I rolled over and shoved Jasper off me, shouting, “Jasper, snap out of it!”
“Rosaline, I love you,” he mumbled, eyes dazed as he lunged at me again.
“I know you can’t forget Caden, but I love you more than he does. Why can’t you accept me, Rosaline? Please, say you’ll accept me …

Jasper held me close, his words slurring as he leaned in to kiss me. I twisted away, avoiding his lips.
I never imagined Jasper would be drugged too.
I had to find a way to bring him back to his senses.
If this continued, it would ruin both of us!
Determined, I pushed Jasper off again and looked around. I spotted a teapot on the table, likely with water still in it.
Grabbing the pot, I quickly opened it and splashed the cold water in Jasper’s face.
The shock of the icy water sobered him up instantly.
“Rosaline, I … “Jasper looked bewildered.
He rubbed his temples, staring at me.
“Jasper, listen to me. We’ve been drugged,” I said decisively, pouring the remaining cold water over my own face. The cooling sensation eased the overwhelming heat.
“How could this happen? Who did this?” Jasper finally realized we had been set up.
Before I could respond, the lounge door suddenly burst open with a loud bang.
A crowd of reporters, armed with cameras and microphones, swarmed in, surrounding both
drenched as we were.

“Ms. Sinclair, why are you both drenched and disheveled? Were you engaging in intimate activities?”
“When will you go public with your relationship? Does Mr. Holbrook of the Eclipse Pack know about this? Are you seeing both men at once? You…”
I narrowed my eyes, glaring at the reporters bombarding us with questions.
They didn’t just appear out of nowhere.
The only explanation was that the person who set me up had called them here.
As for that person…
I spotted Lilian standing at the back of the crowd.
Knowing her connection to Wendy, everything clicked into place.
Facing the reporters, I suppressed my discomfort and spoke calmly, “You all have so many questions. Which one should I answer first?”
Having just been drugged and doused in cold water, my head was throbbing. I needed to resolve this quickly.
The reporters fell silent at my words.
Lilian stepped forward, arms crossed, looking at me with disdain. “Rosaline, you disgusting Omega. You lead on Mr. Holbrook and now you’re with Jasper. Are you that desperate?”
“Is that so?” I sneered, my gaze icy as it swept over the reporters. “You all want the truth, right?”
My cold stare made the reporters uneasy.
I fixed my eyes on Lilian and pointed at her. “Because of her!”
The reporters exchanged confused glances.
“Lilian, you planned all this, didn’t you?”
I pressed on, moving closer to her. “You had the waitress spike my drink, led me to the rest area, stole my phone to prevent me from calling for help, drugged Jasper, and brought in the reporters to catch us together. Your plan was quite thorough.”
I drew out my words as I stopped just short of her.
Lilian shrank back, a flicker of fear in her eyes. “You … you’re making things up! I was here for dinner and saw the commotion. I got curious when I saw the reporters. Why would I set you up?”
“It wasn’t you?” I asked, feigning disappointment.
“Of course not!” Lilian almost sighed in relief.

“Who’s afraid of who?!” Lilian frowned and waved her hand, calling out to the approaching staff. “Go check the hotel’s surveillance footage!”
“Okay,” the werewolf staff member responded to Lilian’s command and quickly turned to leave.
“Wait,” I suddenly spoke up, stopping her.
“Oh? Rosaline, are you backing out now?” Lilian smirked, lifting her chin proudly. She glanced at the reporters nearby. “See? Rosaline has already admitted it. Looks like today’s trending headlines are set in
stone.”
I was at a loss for words.
Lilian was so eager to stomp me into the ground–wasn’t she just making herself look more suspicious?
I hadn’t even finished speaking, yet she was already rushing to a conclusion. If she wasn’t the mastermind behind this, who would believe it?
“Did I say I was going to admit anything?”
I glanced at Lilian, a hint of sarcasm tugging at my lips. “I’ve been curious… You walked in and saw me and Jasper in the lounge, nothing more. We weren’t doing anything inappropriate, yet Ms. White kept insisting we were having an affair. Unless …”
As soon as I said that, confusion flashed across everyone’s faces.
It didn’t take much to figure out that these reporters must have received an anonymous tip.
And from the looks of it, the information had already planted the idea that Jasper and I were up to something scandalous.
Given our identities, any gossip about us would be a major headline.
But now that they were seeing the scene for themselves, all they found was Jasper and me in the lounge- soaked from head to toe, yes, but clearly not doing anything inappropriate.
But Lilian wasn’t a reporter, she wouldn’t have received that anonymous tip. So why was she so quick to assume that Jasper and I were having an affair?
Unless she was the one who sent the tip!
All eyes turned to Lilian, curiosity and suspicion flickering in their gazes.
A reporter spoke up. “Ms. White, do you have an explanation for Ms. Sinclair’s question?”
“You were so certain that Ms. Sinclair and Jasper were having an affair. Do you have any solid proof to bacl that up?”
Lilian’s POV:
The reporters‘ questions caught me off guard. I didn’t know how to respond.

And, somehow, something had gone wrong. The two of them hadn’t ended up tangled together like they were supposed to.
My carefully planned scandal was completely ruined.
But no matter what, one thing was still undeniable–Rosaline and Jasper had been alone together in the lounge. There was no getting around that!
I glared at Rosaline. “I–I know what kind of person you are! That’s why I assumed it! You and Jasper were alone together. Can you deny you’re not having an affair?!”
I couldn’t afford to lose this time.
I must ruin that shameless Omega b*tch’s reputation. Make her never able to hold her head up again.
Rosaline barely spared me a glance before turning to the staff member who had been stopped earlier. “Have security pull the surveillance footage. And bring over the two staff members who helped me to the lounge and served drinks to Jasper and me.”
Hearing that, I quietly let out a breath of relief.
So that was all? I thought Rosaline was planning something bigger.
“Understood, Ms. Sinclair.” The werewolf staff member nodded, and shortly after, two more werewolf staff entered the lounge.
One of them was the one who had helped Rosaline into the room.
I seized the moment and spoke first. “Ms. Sinclair claims you drugged her and Jasper. Is that true?”
The two staff members exchanged glances, then quickly shaking their heads. “We’re just regular servers. We’ve never even met Ms. Sinclair or Jasper before–why would we drug them? The drinks and alcohol we served were completely normal. Please don’t wrongfully accuse us.”
They remained calm and denied it.
“Ms. Sinclair also claimed that I ordered you to drug her,” I pressed.
The two of them looked shocked and quickly waved their hands. “That’s impossible! We don’t even know you!”
I turned to Rosaline, my voice filled with outrage. “Rosaline, what do you have to say now? Stop throwing baseless accusations at innocent people!
“These two are just hotel staff trying to make a living. Framing them like this–potentially costing them their jobs–isn’t that a bit too cruel?”
The two werewolf staff members looked at Rosaline with fear in their eyes. “Ms. Sinclair, we know you’re a big boss. Crushing us would be as easy as stepping on ants, but we really didn’t do anything … We need this job, please have mercy on us!”
As they spoke, their eyes turned red, and they started sobbing pitifully, their cries filled with desperation.
I thought to myself–perfect. With them in tears and Rosaline standing there in contrast, sc’d look especially ruthless and overbearing.

To prove their innocence, they brought over the drinks that Rosaline and Jasper had just consumed and drank them in front of everyone.
I still couldn’t figure out why Rosaline remained so confident, but after the waiters finished the drinks, they looked fine, without any signs of anything unusual.
A smirk tugged at my lips. “Everyone saw that–the drinks are perfectly safe. Rosaline, what excuse do you have now? Just admit it already and stop dragging innocent people into this!”
I paused for a moment before softening my tone and saying to the two werewolf waiters, “This has nothing to do with you anymore. Go back to work. I’ll talk to your boss and make sure they know you had no part in this. You won’t lose your jobs over it.”
The reporters captured the whole scene, from the way I reassured them to the generosity in my voice.
Just like that, I solidified my image as a considerate and understanding person.
“Thank you, Ms. White.” The two waiters let out a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
“Rosaline, the evidence is clear now. No one drugged you–you were just shamelessly seducing Jasper in the lounge!”
Jasper, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke in a deep, firm voice, stepping in front of Rosaline protectively, “Ms. White, I suggest you stop making things up. It didn’t happen the way you’re claiming. I was simply discussing the plot of our next project with Rosaline–nothing more.”
I was taken aback. “Jasper, you…
Watching the man I had loved for so long openly protect Rosaline without hesitation made my heart sink.
Before I could finish my sentence, a startled gasp came from the entrance–the two waiters who were supposed to have left. “M–Mr. Holbrook …
Mr. Holbrook?
Caden?!
A thought flashed through my mind as I turned and saw Caden’s tall, imposing figure.
He walked with steady steps, his presence as commanding as a king’s.
His expression was cold, exuding a sharp, unyielding aura that made everyone instinctively shudder and step aside, clearing a path for him without a word.
Stopping in front of Rosaline, he asked calmly, “What’s going on?”
Yet the moment his gaze fell on her, the piercing coldness in his eyes softened unconsciously.
Before Rosaline could even speak, I immediately jumped in, exaggerating the story. “Mr. Holbrook, don’t let this Omega fool you! She was just here seducing Jasper–she’s cheating!”

His overwhelming presence sent a shiver down my spine, and before I knew it, I had instinctively stepped back. Taking a deep breath, I forced myself to stand my ground. “Mr. Holbrook, I’m telling the truth. If you don’t believe me, ask them. The reporters saw everything.”
“Did you?” Caden turned to Rosaline, his expression calm and indifferent.
“No,” Rosaline replied with arms crossed, looking at me with a hint of amusement in her gaze.
“Hmm. I believe you.”
The moment Caden said that, I could hardly believe my ears.
Everyone saw Rosaline and Jasper’s disheveled appearance in the room, but Caden trusted them after asking such a simple question.
He trusted this Omega–unconditionally!
Seeing how confident Rosaline looked, a sudden sense of unease washed over me.
Why were they so calm, so in sync?
Had they planned this all along?
No way!
I had made sure the werewolf waiter took Rosaline’s phone. There was no way she could have contacted Caden!
Rosaline’s POV:
I instantly caught the panic flickering in Lilian’s eyes.
It was true that the werewolf waiter had taken my phone, but I had already anticipated all of this.
Playing along was just a trap–to lure the snake out of its hole!
Back when I was about to step out of Caden’s car, I happened to notice Wendy’s car parked not far away.
I was well aware of her hostility toward me.
I had no intention of harming anyone, but that didn’t mean I wouldn’t stay vigilant.
So I told Caden that if he couldn’t reach me within half an hour after I went inside, he should come find me.
And just as I predicted, everything played out exactly as expected.
Lilian was about to speak when the restaurant manager who had entered with Caden stepped forward and cleared his throat. “Ms. White, I heard you wanted to check the surveillance footage to prove your innocence. That won’t be a problem. I’ve already retrieved it.”
He took out a USB drive and plugged it into the lounge’s TV.
The big screen TV started playing the footage.

I took a deep breath, forcing myself to remain composed. “That doesn’t prove it had anything to do with me. Those two waiters were clearly trying to drug them. I was unaware of the truth, so it’s understandable that I got the wrong idea.”
As long as there was no solid evidence against me, I would stick to my story and deny everything. No matter what, Rosaline wouldn’t be able to do anything to me!
I thought Rosaline bringing in Caden would mean she had some solid evidence, but it turned out to be completely insignificant.
The two werewolf waiters looked at me in panic, and I immediately glared at them.
They got the message instantly and quickly turned to Rosaline, crying and apologizing. “We’re so sorry, Ms. Sinclair! We did this out of jealousy. We wanted to ruin your and Jasper’s reputation!”
Jasper frowned. “Rosaline and I have never even met you before. Don’t you think that excuse is a bit far- fetched?”
Rosaline suddenly stood up, and asked coldly, “Tell me, who ordered you to do this?”
“N–No one…” The two waiters flinched under Rosaline’s intimidating presence, instinctively taking a few steps back.
“We…”
The two exchanged nervous glances before suddenly latching onto an idea. In a hurry, they blurted out, “We did it because we’re fans of Henry! Jasper, you’ve always outshined him–you even took the Best Actor award that should have been his! If we could ruin you, our idol would finally have his moment to shine!”
Clever move.
They actually brought up Henry Carter–an actor from Starplay Entertainment’s rival company.
Over the years, Henry had seen Jasper as his competitor, constantly stirring up trouble from behind the
scenes.
Blaming him for the drugging made the motive seem plausible.
“Well, the truth is out, so I’ll be taking my leave. Mr. Holbrook, my apologies for misunderstanding Ms. Sinclair,” I said reluctantly,
The plan was flawless, a sure way to ruin Rosaline’s reputation completely. But somehow, it failed again!
Wendy was definitely going to give me an earful for this.
But right now, the most important thing was getting out of here.
The plan failed, leaving was my best option!

Seeing Lilian so eager to leave, a mocking smile tugged at my lips. I took a step forward, blocking her path. “Ms. White, why the rush? The show isn’t over yet.”
Since Lilian had gone to such lengths to drug me and set me up, there was no way I would let her walk away so easily.
I glanced down at my watch.
Lilian’s expression stiffened, but she forced a smile. “Ms. Sinclair, I misunderstood you earlier. It’s my mistake. I apologize. But I have urgent matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving now.”
Then, she pushed past me, attempting to leave.
But before she could reach the door, Anthony walked in, accompanied by four or five werewolf officers.
She was immediately blocked, leaving her no choice but to step back.
The moment she saw Anthony with the officers, her face turned grim.
Just as expected, she was starting to panic.
After all, when Candice tried to frame me and ended up being exposed in front of everyone, it was Anthony who provided the solid evidence that proved her guilt.
That incident had spread far and wide, and Lilian was well aware of it.
She looked at me with some guilt, but I met her with a cold, piercing stare.
“Mr. Holbrook, we received a report about an attempted drugging. We’ve brought our forensic team to conduct an investigation,” one of the werewolf officers respectfully informed Caden.
“Okay,” Caden responded indifferently.
Anthony walked up to me. “I’m not too late, am I, Ms. Sinclair?”
“Thanks, Anthony,” I said with a smile.
My cold gaze settled on Lilian as I said coldly, “Ms. White, given that you insist on having no involvement, then I’m sure you won’t mind cooperating with the officers‘ investigation. If you’re truly innocent, this will help prove it, right?”
Lilian’s POV:
Rosaline’s imposing presence made me instinctively step back.
I had been extremely cautious. There shouldn’t be any evidence left behind.
Even with the werewolf officers here, they had no surveillance footage proving I was the one who drugged the drinks. If they did, they would have shown it already.
That thought put me at ease.
But just as I started to relax, Rosaline suddenly lifted her hand and pointed straight at me. Her voice was cold and firm as she addressed the officers. “She’s the mastermind behind this. I suggest you investigate her thoroughly.”

“I… “I froze, struggling to find a response but coming up empty.

But she found nothing–no drug powder, nothing at all.
I exhaled in relief. I already flushed everything down the toilet, there was no evidence left behind.
Even the werewolf officers wouldn’t be able to do anything to me now.
I glanced at Rosaline with a smug expression.
“Officer, a body search won’t be enough. Try using a detector to check under her nails. I’m sure you’ll find something interesting,” Rosaline said suddenly.

“Ms. White, you’ll need to come with us to the station,” the werewolf officer said as he stepped forward and took away Lilian, who was filled with despair.

I had already guessed that Wendy, determined to frame me, would have instructed Lilian to handle it personally.
And as expected, when Lilian sprinkled the drug, some of it must have stuck to her fingertips.
I had secretly used a private app on my watch to contact Anthony and bring the police over.
Now, Lilian had nowhere left to hide!
With this troublemaker finally dealt with, I felt relief.
But suddenly, a familiar discomfort surged through me like a tide.
The drug in my system hadn’t worn off yet–I had only been holding on through sheer willpower.
Now, as the effects crashed over me, my mind began to blur again.
I instinctively grabbed onto Anthony for support.
Seeing my pale face, he steadied me, concern flickering in his eyes. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” I shook my head, taking deep breaths, trying to force myself to stay alert, but it was useless.
Caden’s expression darkened the moment he saw me leaning against Anthony. Without hesitation, he strode over, grabbed me from Anthony’s arms, and effortlessly carried me.
“My woman–I’ll take care of her myself. No need to trouble others,” he said coldly.
Then, he carried me away without looking back.
Caden’s POV:
I brought Rosaline back to New Moon City.

“Rosaline, hold on. I’ll call Derrick to take care of this, I said, pulling out my phone.
But before I could dial, she leaned into my chest, mumbling. “No”
As she spoke, she nuzzled against me, her soft hair brushing against my skin.
The familiar, faint fragrance on her made my breath hitch, and I suddenly felt a rush of heat all over.
“Be good, Let Derrick take care of it. It’ll pass soon,” I said, taking a deep breath to steady myself.
Holding her close with one arm, I used the other to dial Derrick’s number.
“Caden, what’s up?” Derrick’s voice came through the line.
I got straight to the point. “Come to my place.
“Let me guess–Ms. Sinclair isn’t feeling well again?” he teased.
I frowned, my voice turning cold. “Rosaline was drugged. I need you to handle it.”
Derrick chuckled. “Well, about that… I’m out of town for an academic exchange.”
“Then send someone else to take care of her,” I demanded.
Derrick laughed. “Caden, why go through all that trouble? Aren’t you the best antidote?”
“Cut the nonsense,” I snapped.
“Just kidding,” Derrick chuckled. “From what you described, it doesn’t sound too bad. Just use some cold water–wet a towel and help her cool down. That should be enough.”
“You sure?” I asked, still uneasy,
Derrick laughed confidently. “Of course, Caden. Trust me.”
After hanging up, I carried Rosaline upstairs.
She kept shifting restlessly in my arms, her small hands wandering across my chest, touching me without restraint.
“Rosaline, stop it!” I growled in a low voice, trying to get her to calm down.
Her movements were getting dangerously tempting.
Rosaline had completely lost all sense of reason. She clung to my neck without hesitation, her eyes filled with seductive desire.
I looked down at her–eyes full of allure, lips slightly parted, her breath carrying a faint, intoxicatin Every detail of her was testing my restraint, pushing me closer to the edge.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, I reached the bedroom. I quickly placed her on the bed and pulled the covers over her.

Letting out a quiet sigh of relief, I turned and headed to the bathroom to get some cold water, planning to use a damp towel to cool her down.

Wasn’t she supposed to be weak and exhausted from the effects of the drug? How did she suddenly vanish?
Did something happen to her?
I quickly scanned the room–no sign of Rosaline.
“Rosaline! Rosaline!” I called out, my voice edged with urgency.
The next moment, I felt a soft, delicate body press against my back.
Slender, porcelain–like arms wrapped tightly around my neck from behind, and a sweet, teasing voice whispered near my ear, “Caden, I’m here.”
“Why aren’t you lying in bed? What are you running around for?” I remained still, feeling the searing heat radiating from her body against my back.
Rosaline rose onto her toes, her breath warm against my ear, her gaze hazy as she whispered, “Caden, I feel so uncomfortable. Help me, please …”
My grip on the damp towel tightened. My cold eyes darkened, my body rigid as I asked in a low, husky voice, “Are you
sure?”
“Mmm…” she hummed softly under the drug’s influence, playfully tilting my chin up. Her tiny teeth grazed my earlobe, while her fingers moved down to my Adam’s apple.
My breath hitched. Instantly, my lower part hardened.
This woman was playing with fire.

I couldn’t hold back any longer. I turned around and pushed Rosaline, who was limp from the effects of the drugs, against the door.
Looking down at her, I took in the sight of her flushed face.
She tilted her head up, gazing at me.
Her face was like a ripe apple, sweet and tempting, impossible to resist.
“Rosaline, you’re the one who ignited this fire!”
Desire burned in my eyes. Without hesitation, I lowered my head and captured her soft, damp lips with mine.
As our lips met, the air in the room–already ambiguous–became even more intoxicating.
A familiar scent filled the air, and standing at the door was no longer enough for me. I picked up Rosaline’s light body and moved to the big bed, turning over and pressing her down.
I was madly enjoying the sexual satisfaction her passion gave me.
Her lips, her breasts, her lower body, everything about her…
My big hands wandered all over her body, and my tongue sucked the sweetness in her mouth.
Rosaline under me was dazed, and her whole body was as hot as fire.
“It hurts so much… Sobs … You’re bullying me …‘
Suddenly Rosaline’s body stiffened, she curled up on the bed, and started to cry.
My tongue tasted the crystal tears falling from the corners of her eyes, it was so bitter.
I stopped immediately.
I turned over and got out of bed, gently and tenderly covering Rosaline with a blanket.
I glanced down at my shirt, rumpled from the heated kiss just moments ago. Taking a deep breath, I ran a hand over the fabric, trying to smooth it out as my mind cleared.
What was I just doing?
“You were doing exactly what you should. So why stop?” Edward’s voice echoed in my head.
“You already know why. Rosaline is only acting this way because of the drug.”
Edward let out a mocking laugh. “Don’t you love her?”
“I do. But I won’t take advantage of her while she’s not in control of herself. I don’t want our first time to happen like this.”

If not for her swollen lips and the lingering tears at the corners of her eyes, I might have thought everything that just happened was just a dream.

Rosaline’s POV:
The next morning.
My head was pounding, like it was about to explode!
I groggily opened my eyes and rubbed my temples.
Suddenly, a gust of cold air rushed in, making me shiver.
I blinked, only to find Caden’s handsome face right beside me.
Startled, I immediately sat up.
Why was Caden sleeping next to me?!
I frowned as the memories of last night slowly pieced themselves together.
I remembered attending the crew’s banquet … Lilian schemed and drugged me and Jasper.
I exposed Lilian, and she was taken away by the police. But the effects of the drug didn’t wear off, and then…
D*mmit. I vaguely remembered. Did I flirt with Caden?!
Bits and pieces of last night’s heated moments flickered through my mind, one after another.
Oh no!
Did we …
I wrapped myself tightly in the quilt, my face burning with heat.
God, what did I do last night?!
“Freya, why didn’t you stop me?!”
Silence. I could still sense she was asleep.
What exactly happened?
Just as I was lost in thought, a deep, magnetic voice echoed beside me, “You’re awake?”

At that moment, he propped his head up with one hand, his deep eyes fixed on me with an intense gaze.
“We… last night… “I tightened my grip on the blanket, eyeing him warily.
Caden raised his eyebrows, looking at me with a sly smile. “I put you in bed to sleep, but you were quite insistent. And I’m a normal man.”
His words confirmed it–everything that should or shouldn’t have happened, happened.
My heart clenched. “You! Scoundrel!”
He spread his hands, a smirk playing on his lips as he leaned in, his deep voice rumbling near my ear. “Last night, you were the one who invited me.”
His warm breath brushed against my neck, sending a sharp jolt through me like an electric current. A shiver ran down my spine.
I bit my lip. Did something really happen between us last night?
“Freya, Freya, wake up right now!” I shouted in my mind.
But… aside from feeling exhausted, there was no real discomfort.
It didn’t feel like I had done anything with Caden.
Seeing me lost in thought, Caden feigned a hurt expression and said, “Rosaline, don’t you think you should take responsibility for me?”
I blinked in confusion.
What was this pervert talking about?
Even if something did happen between us, I was the one who got the short end of the stick, not him!
“If that’s the case, you helped me out, thanks,” I said, lifting my chin defiantly, glaring at him.
“Is that so? Then I’m at a loss here,” Caden replied, his strong hand rubbing his chin as he deliberately dragged out his words. “I think I deserve some compensation.”
I asked impatiently, “So what do you want?”
Caden smirked. “How about you give me Starplay Entertainment as compensation?”

I rolled my eyes. “Caden, you’re the dignified heir of Eclipse Pack. Are you putting a price on yourself? Aren’t you afraid of being ridiculed?”
“I’m not worried about that getting out,” Caden replied, his gaze intense as he looked at me. He paused, clearly enjoying the moment before adding, “But you …
”
I tilted my head up, meeting Caden’s deep gaze. “You dare?”
Seeing how worked up I was, Caden chuckled.
He got up from the bed and reached out to ruffle my hair. “Alright, I’m done teasing you. Get dressed quickly, I made you breakfast.”
What did you say?
So… nothing actually happened between us last night?
“Yep, you finally made a move, but he acted like a perfect gentleman and did nothing. You two are really strange,” Freya, now awake, said lazily.
I was stunned.
Caden didn’t make a move on me?
I stared at him, unsure of what to say.
“What’s wrong? Do you wish something had happened between us last night?” Caden smirked, his tone -laced with teasing.
“Yeah, right! You wish!” I glared at him.
Caden chuckled lowly. Suddenly, he leaned in, his lips brushing against my ear, his voice hoarse. “You’re right, I do wish … I really do …”
That voice was way too tempting.
My face instantly flushed. I quickly pushed him away, cleared my throat, and said, “Aren’t we going to have breakfast? Go on!”
“Yeah,” Caden replied casually, no longer teasing me, and turned to head downstairs.
That man!
As soon as he left the room, I quickly got out of bed and got dressed.
The embarrassing scenes from last night kept replaying in my mind, becoming clearer with each passing
moment.
I remembered Caden carrying me to the bed, kissing me passionately.

I slapped my face, took a deep breath, and tried to shake off the strange emotions swirling in my mind.
I finished my morning routine and went downstairs, where a lavish breakfast awaited me, all of which were my favorites.
But I had no appetite.
My head felt like it was going to explode.
The medicine contained wolfsbane, and it would take some time to fully recover.
I rubbed my temples, and suddenly, a large, well–defined hand appeared in front of me.
Caden handed me a glass of water and some pills, his tone gentle. “Eat something, then take your medicine.”
A warmth spread through me I couldn’t ignore.
The usually aloof and cold Caden actually had such a thoughtful and gentle side.
For the past few days, he had been taking care of me while I was sick.
He personally made sure I took my medicine on time, maintained a proper sleep routine, and kept a close eye on my health.
“Alright.” I took the pills from him, ate a few spoonfuls of porridge, and then took the medicine.
I knew the medicine probably wouldn’t do much for me, but seeing how concerned Caden was, I reluctantly
took it.
After all, the ingredients in the cold medicine could at least help ease the headache a little.
Seeing that I obediently took the medicine, Caden slightly smiled before picking up his fork and gracefully starting his breakfast.
Even something as simple as eating breakfast, Caden made it look effortlessly elegant and dignified–like he was born to be a king.
I couldn’t help but get a little lost in my thoughts.
This man was just too handsome.
“Are you done staring?” Caden raised an eyebrow.
I snapped back to reality, bit my lip, and said, “Caden, I’m craving that Ivernia restaurant.”
Caden paused, his lips curving slightly. “Is this not to your taste?”
“I just don’t feel like eating this anymore. I’m really craving Ivernia food,” I said, feeling a headache coming on. I had no appetite, but my emotions were messing with me, and all I could think about was Ivernia food.
“I’ll go get it for you. Stay here and wait for me.” Caden put down his utensils, stood up, and grabbed his jacket without saving another word. ready to leave.

His clear voice scratched my heart, just like being tickled by a soft feather, making me feel itchy.
I sat there, his words still lingering in my mind.
He had promised that whatever I wanted, he would get it for me.
This man, who was so cold and unapproachable with everyone else, always seemed to find a way to tease me when I least expected it.
Just then, the sound of a text message snapped me out of my thoughts.
Looking down, I noticed Caden had rushed out and left his phone behind.
There was a notification about a red–light violation.
So… Caden ran a red light just to get me food from Ivernia?
Before I could think too much about it, more text message notifications kept chiming in.
Wow!
How many red lights had he run?
Didn’t he care about the risks? Didn’t he worry about getting into an accident?
Was he really willing to put everything on the line just for this one request of mine?
A warm feeling spread through my chest as I lazily lay on the sofa, my mind filled with thoughts of Caden’s handsome face.
Maybe I’ve tested him enough already, right?
Over the past few days, Caden had saved me more than once.
He must be sincere about me, right?
But what about Tessa?

Heidi had been in the hospital for the past few days, frequently calling Caden.
Even though he had remained indifferent, I couldn’t shake the discomfort I felt.
I could tell Heidi hadn’t given up on him at all.
Caden had even assigned his werewolf bodyguard to keep a close watch on her, ensuring she didn’t wander
around.
It was the only reason I had managed to enjoy a few peaceful days.
I had a gut feeling that Heidi, that hypocrite, wasn’t going to let things go so easily.
She was probably plotting something big to deal with me!
While I was lost in my thoughts, Caden came back over an hour later.
“Here.” He stepped in, taking out a few Ivernia dishes from the takeout containers and placing them in front of me.
His expression remained cold. If it hadn’t been for those messages, I would have never guessed that he’d run through countless red lights just to bring me my favorite dishes.
“Thanks.” I looked into Caden’s eyes, feeling a surge of gratitude.
Caden pointed to the steaming dishes, his gaze softening slightly. “Eat while it’s hot.”
I nodded and dug in.
Thanks to Caden driving to get them himself, these dishes tasted as fresh as if they’d just been made. I felt completely satisfied.
Caden kept watching me, constantly reminding me, “They’re all yours. Take your time.”
“Today’s meal is the best I’ve ever had,” I said with a playful smile, a hint of meaning behind my words.
“Really?” Caden’s lips curled into a faint smile.
I nodded but suddenly remembered something. “Next time, don’t do that for me. Running red lights like that… if something happens, I can’t afford to lose you.”
After finishing the last bite, I leaned back on the sofa, satisfied, and lazily looked at Caden.
Caden’s POV:
Rosaline looked like a lazy little kitten, so cute it made my heart skip a beat.

It was a passionate kiss, fierce yet tender, falling like a storm and leaving no room for Rosaline to catch her breath.

I lowered my head and rested my forehead against hers, gazing deeply into her eyes. “Rosaline, promise me you’ll come back to me, okay?”
“I …” Rosaline was breathless from the kiss.
Just then, my phone rang abruptly.
The melodic ringtone shattered the intimate atmosphere between us.
Rosaline snapped back to reality and shoved me away. “Your phone.”
I glanced at my phone and saw it was Yale calling.
Sh*t!
I cursed under my breath.
Why not call earlier or later? Why now…
I answered the call and asked coldly, “Yale, what’s going on?”
“There’s a senior management meeting at the company today. You need to come in,” Yale said, his voice uneasy on the other end.
“I’m not going,” I said, my lips barely moving to utter those two words.
Rosaline was still sick, and I couldn’t leave her.
“But…” Yale started to protest, but I hung up on him.
“Is there something going on at the company?” Rosaline asked.
“Nothing,” I replied, turning to give her a sideways glance. “You still haven’t answered my question.”
“Yawn.” Rosaline averted her gaze, trying to change the subject. “I’m tired, I need to rest. You should head to the meeting. As for your question … I haven’t figured out my answer yet.”
A sense of heaviness settled in my chest as I thought for a moment, then reached out to pull Rosaline into my arms. “Are you sure you want me to go?”
“Of course. Just don’t disturb my rest,” Rosaline said quickly, pushing me away and escaping my embrace. She yawned on purpose and stood up, heading to her room.
I watched this woman, the one I loved so deeply, and spoke softly, “Rosaline, don’t make me wait too long.”

I had a dream.
In the dream, it was like I was back in my childhood.
My parents took me to the park, bought me ice cream, and took me out on a boat. We were all so happy together.
But no matter how hard I tried, their faces remained blurry.
“Mom, don’t move, let me see your face,” I begged, pulling at her.
But my mom kept avoiding my gaze.
Splash! I fell into the cold lake water.
So cold…
I vaguely heard a splash and felt a bucket of ice water being poured over me, waking me up with a shiver.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Eleanor and Queenie standing in front of my bed, their faces full of arrogance and anger.
How did they get here?

“Rosaline, how can you be so shameless? You’re fooling around with Jasper while still clinging to my cousin. You disgraceful Omega! And now you’re lying here, sleeping like nothing’s wrong!” Queenie yelled, holding a water bucket in one hand and jabbing her finger at me as she ranted.
“Rosaline, pack your things and get out of here! You’ve already broken off your engagement with Caden, and yet you’re still shamelessly hanging around?! The Holbrooks would never let a loose, lowly Omega like you marry into our family. We, the Eclipse Pack, can’t afford to have someone like you representing us!” Eleanor said, her face twisted with anger.
As she spoke, Queenie had already pulled out my clothes and carelessly shoved them into my suitcase.
Were they trying to kick me out of the house while Caden wasn’t around?
I glanced indifferently at the two of them acting so arrogantly, speaking in a calm tone, “Did you throw water on me?”
My calm demeanor had caught both Queenie and Eleanor off guard.
“So what? It was me who threw water on you! What are you going to do about it? I was just getting back at you for my cousin. Who told you to be so shameless, playing both sides and trying to seduce him?” Queenie said, opening her phone and clicking on today’s top trending search. “Look at the mess you’ve made!”
I gave a faint glance.
What met my eyes was a photo of me and Jasper from last night in the lounge.
In the picture, we were close to each other, both drenched.
The caption underneath was suggestive, leaving much to the imagination.
I couldn’t help but frown.
Wasn’t everything about last night already cleared up? Didn’t Lilian drug both me and Jasper?
Why were these shameless media still making up lies?
No wonder Eleanor and Queenie showed up this morning to yell at me.
I looked at the two fierce and stupid women, and sneered as I stood up from the bed. Without saying a word, I grabbed Queenie by the wrist and forcefully pulled her toward the bathroom.
“What are you doing?!” Queenie, unprepared, tried to pull away, but I held her tightly.
“Aunt Eleanor, help me!” Queenie screamed.
I didn’t care about her struggles or screams. I dragged her into the bathroom, shoved her into the bathtub, and forcefully pressed her down into the water.
“Ah–glub glub…” Queenie screamed for a second, then immediately choked on the water, it flooding her mouth and nose.

Queenie was panicked, trying to break free, but I held her down firmly, not giving her a chance to escape.
It was obvious she had never been through anything like this–she even forgot how to shift.
Even if she turned into a wolf, she still couldn’t beat my Freya.
Who was scared of who?
Usually, out of respect for Caden, I’d let her off, but did she think I was that easy to bully?
“Aunt Eleanor, help me! Rosaline’s trying to kill me!” Queenie screamed from the water, calling for Eleanor’s help.
“Rosaline, let her go!” Eleanor, seeing my fierce expression, hesitated to approach and shouted from outside the bathroom.
I sneered. “Queenie, you drenched me earlier, and now I’m just returning the favor. Enjoy the cold shower!”
“Rosaline, let her go right now! Don’t go too far. Your scandal with that so–called celebrity has spread all over the internet and news. We’re not wrong here. Where do you get the guts to act like this?” Eleanor yelled.
Scandal spreading all over the internet?
Was it about me and Jasper?
I frowned at what I heard. Looking at Queenie, drenched and choking, barely able to move, I finally released her.
Queenie scrambled out of the bathtub, but her foot slipped, and she fell hard onto the bathroom floor.
The tiles were slippery, and she stayed on the floor for a while, unable to get up.
“Queenie, are you okay?” Eleanor rushed over, clearly concerned, and hurried to help her up.
“Aunt Eleanor, don’t touch me! Ow, it hurts so much!” Queenie gritted her teeth in pain, glaring at me with hatred. “Aunt Eleanor, that b*tch Rosaline, you have to kick her out!”
I didn’t even spare them a second glance, walking back to my room.
The phone the waiter had taken last night had been returned to me by Caden.
I picked it up casually and glanced at it.
The internet was flooded with gossip about me two–timing, hooking up with Jasper, secretly betraying Caden, and cheating on him.
The entire internet was blasting me with insults, hurling all sorts of foul language my way.
I stared at it indifferently, feeling nothing inside.

“Rosaline, listen, I’m not someone you can push around. You’d better take my Aunt Eleanor’s advice and leave now. Stop acting like a stubborn nuisance that refuses to go!” Queenie hissed.
I coldly said, “This shirt is from Bruda’s latest collection, it’s worth 3 million, and the suitcase, designed by the renowned Ivernia designer Liso, is worth 6 million. Compensate me.”
“How could this junk be worth that much?!” Queenie screamed, her face turning pale with anger.
“Aunt Eleanor, she’s trying to scam me!” Queenie grabbed onto Eleanor’s arm.
I smirked and said, “So, you can’t afford it, huh? That’s fine, we’ll settle this with slaps.”
Before either Queenie or Eleanor could react …
Smack!
I swiftly and decisively slapped Queenie on the face.
“How dare you slap me?!” Queenie covered her face, staring at me in disbelief.

“You-” Eleanor was seething with rage, raising her hand to slap me on the face. “Rosaline, you shameless Omega b*tch, I’m going to teach you a lesson today!”
I frowned, preparing to fight back when a large hand suddenly appeared and wrapped around my waist.
That familiar scent…
It was Caden!
With a powerful force, he pulled me into his embrace.
Eleanor’s slap missed the target.
“Mom, what are you doing?” Caden’s expression was cold

As soon as Queenie saw Caden, she quickly seized the opportunity, exaggerating her complaint. “Stop protecting this Omega! Rosaline’s out there filming, cheating on you, and it’s all over the internet! Aunt Eleanor and I are just trying to teach her a lesson for you!”
“Is that so?” Caden’s expression remained calm as he smirked.
“Didn’t you see the news today? This worthless Omega is blatantly having an affair with Jasper, completely disregarding you, and you’re still protecting her! Rosaline is nothing but a shameless, promiscuous woman! And let’s not forget, she’s the one who put our Alpha in the hospital, still unconscious. Have you forgotten that?!” Eleanor’s face turned pale with anger as she listed my supposed wrongdoings.
“Mom, that’s between Rosaline and me. You don’t need to get involved,” Caden replied indifferently, standing protectively in front of me.
I stood behind him, watching his strong back, and at that moment, it felt as though something inside me had been stirred.
He really was always protecting me.
“We’re only trying to help you, why are you-” Queenie’s eyes were full of jealousy as she saw Caden protect

But before she could finish, Caden’s voice cut her coldly. “This is between Rosaline and me. You two have no say in it.”

Then, she angrily pulled Queenie to her feet and stormed out.
The living room fell into a heavy silence.
I stepped out from behind Caden and spoke, “You could just explain to them that the news online is all false.”
“It’s my fault for being careless, letting those reporters run wild,” Caden said, noticing my damp hair. He removed his jacket and draped it over my shoulders, then effortlessly picked me up and carried me toward the bathroom.
Nestled against Caden’s chest, the familiar feeling washed over me, and for some reason, I felt a deep sense of peace.
The irritation from Eleanor and Queenie’s provocation faded away completely.
Caden carefully carried me to the bathroom door and gently set me down, treating me as if I were a delicate porcelain doll.
His gaze softened with rare tenderness. “Go take a shower.”
“Thank you,” I replied softly, still a bit dazed. I took the clean clothes he handed me and turned to enter the bathroom.
The steam from the shower filled the room as I stood under the warm water, letting it flow over me, washing away the tension.
It was soothing and comforting.
I don’t know how much time had passed before I turned off the shower and opened my wet eyes.
After changing into dry clothes, the heaviness in my body started to fade, and I felt much better.
I yawned and walked out of the bathroom, only to find the room–once a mess from Eleanor and Queenie -now completely tidied up.
The soaked sheets and blankets had been replaced with fresh ones, and the clothes Queenie took out were neatly hung in the closet.
Did Caden do all this?
I raised an eyebrow, about to thank Caden, but he was nowhere to be found.
Curious, I pushed open the door and searched around, but he was nowhere in sight.
Eventually, I spotted a note on the fridge.
“I’m going on a business trip to Meldoria for a week. The top ten restaurants in the city will deliver breakfast at 8 a.m. Take care of yourself.”
A business trip?

After reading it, I instinctively reached for my phone to call him, but after some thought, I decided to put my phone away.
