Chapter 1

“Luật sư Dương, ý của ông là gì?”

Gần đến giờ tan làm, Hà Tịnh bị một đối tác gọi vào văn phòng. Nghe một hồi vòng vo, anh không nhịn được mà hỏi thẳng ý của đối phương.

“Khụ khụ,” vị luật sư trung niên trước mặt hắng giọng, “Tôi nói thẳng nhé, dù cậu rất xuất sắc, nhưng năm nay đội chúng tôi chỉ có một suất giữ lại. Sau khi cân nhắc nhiều mặt, đã quyết định giữ lại Vicky.”

Cái gọi là “cân nhắc nhiều mặt” của luật sư Dương, Hà Tịnh mới ra trường cũng không phải không hiểu. Anh sớm đã biết, Vicky, người vào thực tập sau anh, là con gái của một khách hàng lớn của luật sư Dương. Chỉ là không ngờ, thật sự lại vì điều này mà...

“Lần này là do số lượng có hạn, cá nhân tôi vẫn đánh giá cao cậu,” luật sư Dương nhìn khuôn mặt thất thần của anh, cân nhắc từ ngữ, “Cậu nên nhanh chóng tìm công việc khác. Nếu cần thư giới thiệu, tôi có thể viết cho.”

“Luật sư Dương, giờ này đã qua mùa tuyển dụng của các công ty lớn, hơn nữa, vì công việc ở Hợp Viên, tôi đã từ bỏ cả việc học tiếp lên cao.” Giọng Hà Tịnh hơi kích động, “Lúc đó ông không nói là chỉ cần không phạm lỗi, tôi sẽ được giữ lại sao?”

“Hà Tịnh,” luật sư Dương không có chút cảm giác áy náy nào, “Dù sao cậu cũng chỉ là thực tập sinh, trong tình huống số lượng có hạn, chúng tôi chỉ có thể chọn người ưu tú nhất.”

“Chọn người ưu tú? Vicky thậm chí còn chưa qua kỳ thi tư pháp!” Hà Tịnh cười mỉa, “Là xem ai có quan hệ vững chắc hơn chứ gì? Như tôi, một sinh viên tốt nghiệp từ một thành phố nhỏ, dù có xuất sắc đến đâu, cũng chỉ là người bị bỏ lại.”

Luật sư Dương nhìn anh một lúc, nói: “Nếu cậu thật sự muốn vào ngành này, con đường còn rất dài. Vòng tròn này rất nhỏ, tôi khuyên cậu nên giữ tâm trạng bình tĩnh. Thôi thì, cậu ở lại thêm một tháng nữa, từ từ tìm việc đi.”

Uất ức, không cam lòng, phẫn nộ, hối hận... đủ loại cảm xúc đan xen trong lòng, cuối cùng anh ngẩng đầu lên, kiêu ngạo nói: “Cảm ơn luật sư Dương đã chỉ dạy, nếu đã không thể chính thức trở thành nhân viên của Hợp Viên, tôi sẽ đi nộp thẻ ra vào ngay bây giờ.”

Nói xong câu này, Hà Tịnh cảm thấy mình đủ phóng khoáng. Tuy nhiên, khi thực sự nộp thẻ và ôm đồ cá nhân đứng trước cửa thang máy, một cảm giác chua xót không thể ngăn lại xông lên trong lòng.

Dù hỏi bao nhiêu câu “tại sao”, cũng không thay đổi được kết quả đã định. Dù đã nỗ lực bao nhiêu, công ty luật mà mình yêu thích đã một cước đá anh ra khỏi cửa.

Một thực tập sinh nhỏ bé ra đi, không gây nổi chút sóng gió nào. Nhưng công việc này đối với anh quan trọng như vậy, bị đá ra ngoài một cách không rõ ràng thế này, anh biết tìm ai để tố cáo?

Thang máy mở ra trước mặt anh, Hà Tịnh máy móc bước vào, ôm hộp giấy đứng trong góc. Anh đờ đẫn nhìn vào những thứ trong hộp, suy nghĩ về chuyện của mình. Hoàn toàn không để ý rằng, trong thang máy còn có một luật sư khác, đang lặng lẽ quan sát anh.

“Đing!”

Tiếng thang máy đến nơi cắt ngang dòng suy nghĩ của Hà Tịnh, anh bước vài bước về phía trước, ngẩng đầu lên, lại phát hiện xung quanh không phải là sảnh tầng trệt lộng lẫy.

Luật sư đi sau anh thấy anh ngơ ngác, nhắc nhở một câu: “Tôi bấm tầng hầm để xe.”

Hà Tịnh ngơ ngác nhìn anh ta, tầng bốn mươi lăm toàn bộ là văn phòng luật Hợp Viên, người này đi thang máy cùng anh xuống... chắc cũng là luật sư ở đây.

"You are absolutely my fucking woman, Dani. Got me?"
I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected.

One Night. One Mistake. One Lifetime of Consequences.

I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.

My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.

But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.

In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.

"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.

"Who the fuck is Jason?"

My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.

I ran away for my life!

But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!

They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.

Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”

There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.

From the first Sir, I wanted to kneel.

He looked at me like he saw through every mask I wore…

Now I didn’t know if I wanted to win…
Or just be his.
