10 She didn't love me

Anthony's POV

Finally, the meeting was over, and I sat in my chair rubbing my temples in exhaustion.

When my eyes fell on the bento box on the table, I couldn't help but frown.

I knew that Avril had made my lunch today.

To be honest, I was a little surprised.

Avril was always grumpy.

Who would have thought that she would take the initiative to prepare lunch for me, and even let her hand get hurt?

It seems I don't know her completely.

I thought to myself, it's so late, Avril must not be safe to go back alone.

Thinking of this, I immediately grabbed my bento box and walked out.

As I walked to an isolated and quiet place, I smelled Avril's scent, and a scream suddenly came from the distance.

I stopped and listened carefully, the scream sounded very similar to Avril's voice.

Avril was in danger!

My heart sank and I rushed over.

As I approached, I saw the panic on Avril's face, she was obviously traumatized, and several hooligans were trying to drag her into the grass.

I immediately blurted out, "Stop!"

At the sound of my voice, Avril's eyes lit up and she shouted, "Alpha, help me!"

Seeing the woman I loved being hurt, my heart was furious.

I turned into a wolf and rushed towards them.

And in the blink of an eye, as I transformed, one of the ruffians pulled a dagger from his waist and aimed it at my chest.

Sensing that danger was approaching, I leaped directly in front of him and opened my mouth, and bit him on the neck.

That hooligan was quickly killed by me!

Several other hooligans saw how tough I was, knew they were no match for me, and fled in less than two seconds of panic.

I wanted to go after them, but when I turned back, I saw Avril fainted on the ground.

I cared more about Avril than I did about killing those hooligans.

I hurriedly went to her and helped her up from the ground.

"Avril, are you okay?" I asked her.

She had red hand marks on her face and blood in the corner of her mouth, in addition to that, she had injuries, bruises on her arms, etc.

Seeing the injuries on her body, the storm raged in my eyes and I was so angry I wanted to kill someone!

Then, I immediately picked her up by the waist and struck out for the place where she lived.

Avril woke up when she felt my body heat.

When she saw that it was me who was hugging me, she tightly wrapped her arms around my neck.

She trembled in my embrace, "Anthony, I was so scared just now. If those rascals took me away, I would never see you again."

It was the first time Avril showed her vulnerable side in front of me.

This made me feel happy.

I patted her back and gently reassured her: "Don't be afraid. I am here. I won't let anyone bully you anymore."

She nodded vigorously, her hand clutching my arm, leaning into my arms like a child, looking cute and pitiful.

I couldn't help but feel deep guilt.

Why did I let her go back alone?

If I had invited her to the council chamber, things would not have turned out like this.

Fortunately, Avril was not taken away by those rascals. Otherwise, I would have been left with a lifetime of regret.

When I arrived at Avril's place, I gently put her on the sofa.

"Anthony, I'm dirty, I want to take a shower!" Avril said.

I looked down and saw that she did have a lot of dust on her body and nodded.

I felt both remorse and sadness as I watched her limp to her feet and walk to the bathroom.

"Remember, don't get the wound wet." I reminded her.

Avril turned back to me with a smile and said, "Don't worry. I'll be careful."

My heart finally relaxed.

But before I could sit down again on the couch, I heard a scream coming from the bathroom.

"Ah!"

Hearing Avril's scream, I thought she was in danger again and rushed into the bathroom as fast as I could!

And when I got in, I saw a scene that made my blood boil.

I saw Avril's naked body!

She had slipped and fallen to the floor, and I could see her bare breasts, rising and falling like waves with her eager breathing.

When she saw me come in, she subconsciously covered her chest and exclaimed, "Why did you come in?"

I calmed down and asked her, "What happened?"

She stood up in a panic, tried to cover her chest, and said, "I'm fine. I just accidentally ..."

Before Avril could finish her words, she fell to the ground again because of her unsteadiness.

Fortunately, I reacted quickly and caught her with my hand.

However, just as I was holding her, my hand touched her soft and smooth skin.

Such a touch immediately stimulated my senses, and my breathing gradually lost control.

I was worried that I might lose control, so I immediately grabbed a large bath towel and pulled it off.

When the towel wrapped up Sherry's wet body, I was a little calmer.

Then, I took her in my arms and put her on the bed.

"Ah, that hurts!" Avril cried out loudly.

I frowned, looked at her snow-white feet, and asked, "Where are you hurt?"

She bit her lip and replied submissively, "I sprained my ankle when I fell."

"I'll go get the first aid kit."

When I said that, Avril obediently went back to bed and wrapped herself in the towel again.

"I'll go get the first aid kit."

When I said that, Avril obediently went back to bed and wrapped herself in the towel again.

After a moment, I sat on the edge of the bed, quickly opened the first aid kit, and said to her, "Stretch your leg closer."

She carefully stretched out her clean white leg.

When my cold hand touched her foot, she couldn't help but moan, "Ah-"

While I heard Avril's moan, I couldn't help but remember how she looked when she was naked in front of me.

But Avril was so terrified and bruised all over that I had to suppress my desire to rub her down and leave her bedroom.

It was late at night and I didn't want to disturb her, so I had to rest in her study for the time being.

As I sat at her desk, my eyes inadvertently fell on an open brown notebook on the table.

From the looks of it, the notebook was old and it looked like it had been used a lot.

I frowned slightly and tried to close the notebook.

But when my finger landed on the first page of the notebook, I saw my name.

"I desperately wanted to escape Anthony's side. My life had become unhappy because of him, he was the person I hated the most and the one I could never love. God is so cruel, why would he be my mate?"

"The person I love is Carl, he is my destined mate, and I would do anything for him."

When I read these words, my heart was like a heavy lead ball that fell into the deep sea and sank silently.

I thought that after I had marked Avril, she had accepted me and accepted the identity of the Alpha male of the wolf pack.

But the words in this notebook mercilessly dispelled my wishful thinking.

She didn't love me, she loved Carl.

All this time she had changed just so she could escape from me without any problems!

When I realized this, I started to become angry and lost my mind ...
