Chapter 82


    Diana’s pov


    I couldn’t swim.


    When I was five years old, I once ran to the intersection of our Pack and Dark Moon Pack due to my


    yfulness.


    There was an abandoned warehouse there. I saw a mother and son kidnapped by Rogue inside the


    warehouse.


    I often yed near the warehouse, so I knew there was a hidden dog hole behind the warehouse.


    I sneaked in and saved the mother and son.


    Later, after taking them to a safe zone, we parted ways.


    But what surprised me was that on my way back, I met Rogue who was searching for them


    everywhere.


    I hid in the forest all the way, and finally was forced to a stream.


    At that time, I was still a good swimmer.


    I jumped into the stream and eventually escaped from those Rogues.


    However, the ident still urred.


    When I wanted toe out of the stream, my feet were tangled by water nts.


    That time, I almost drowned, but fortunately, I was saved by a passing boy.


    Since then, I have been afraid of water and lost the natural skill of swimming that werewolves


    should have.


    Now-


    The cold seawater came from all directions, instantly enveloping me.


    Thest glimmer of the sky turned into a light blue, and eventually into darkness in


    my eyes.


    I took a deep breath and vigorously swung my limbs.


    However, the salty seawater rushed frantically into my mouth and then into my stomach.


    I started coughing and choking on water!

    I felt like my lungs burned on fire, or torn apart by countless hands…


    The seawater entered my ears, and my brain felt as if it was about to explode.


    The amount of oxygen was decreasing, and I felt that my strength was rapidly losing. My


    consciousness was bing weaker and weaker.


    In the end, it seemed like I couldn’t see or hear anything clearly.


    I lost myst strength in a daze and let my body fall.


    Suddenly!


    Something was dragging my waist.


    I held on to thest bit of consciousness and opened my eyes, seeming to see Nathan in a daze.


    It might be an illusion!


    How could he possibly save me?


    It must be an illusion…


    I thought numbly in the chaos, but couldn’t hold on anymore and closed my eyes.


    “Diana! Wake up! Wake up!”


    “Diana!”


    It was so noisy.


    It seemed like someone was calling me.


    Who was calling me?


    That person shook me hard, but I was too tired and just wanted to fall asleep…


    “Diana! Wake up!”


    Another urgent shout.


    I finally couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of seawater.


    Then, my eyes could finally open.


    At first nce was the dazzling sunlight. I felt so painful that I immediately wanted to close my eyes


    again.


    But soon, a broad figure blocked my sight.


    I was stunned and met Nathan’s serious, almost terrifying face.


    He was soaked all over. His hair was still dripping. His eyes were red, but his face was almost pale.


    Memories came to mind unconsciously, and I said in confusion, “I… I didn’t die?” Nathan seemed to


    breathe a sigh of relief and sat down on the deck, feeling relieved. He only rested for two or three


    seconds. Afterwards, he stood up with his arms propped up and walked towards Lewis with a


    gloomy expression.


    Lewis had been controlled by Nathan’s men, pinned down on the deck like a puddle of mud, unable


    to move.


    Nathan picked up a wooden chair, raised the chair high and the next second–


    I heard a click.


    The chair and Lewis’s right arm bones were all broken.


    “Ah-”


    Lewis almost suffocated in screams, his face flushed with blood, and the veins on his


    forehead were bulging.


    “You dare to touch her?” Nathan’s voice was cold. He took a bottle of red wine and pointed it at


    Lewis’s forehead. “Who the hell allowed you to touch her!”


    As he spoke, the bottle of red wine was about to be smashed down.


    I suddenly realized it.


    Nathan was now in a frenzy of emotions. If things continued to worsen, I was worried that he would


    kill Lewis.


    Although I also hated Lewis, not only because he almost killed me, but also because he had


    harmed countless girls and the sins of the underground second floor, each of which was worth


    sentencing him to death.


    However, Lewis couldn’t die before we got the recipe.


    I quickly got up from the ground and hugged Nathan’s arm before the bottle was about to fall.


    “Don’t!” I shouted loudly.


    Nathan looked at me, his eyes burning with anger.


    “Calm down, we can’t kill him yet,” I advised, but my thoughts were in chaos. I felt both shocked and


    puzzled.


    Didn’t Nathan hate me? Why did he get so angry because Lewis almost killed me? Just now, he


    clearly told Lewis that he didn’t care about my life. But when I was pushed into the sea, he jumped


    down without hesitation to save me.


    Why?


    Why did he do these self contradictory things?


    But now, it was clearly not the time to think about this issue.


    I took the red wine bottle from Nathan’s hand, handed it to his subordinates, and said, “I’m fine. I am


    still alive. Nathan, getting the recipe is the most important thing. Think about Avia and yourself.”


    I didn’t know if it was because I mentioned Avia, but Nathan gradually calmed down and his


    expression turned from his initial anger to his usual coldness.


    He shook me off, and a hint of impatience surged between his eyebrows, as if he didn’t want me to


    touch him.


    “I saved you just because if something happened to you, Healer might refuse to make the antidote,”


    Nathan exined.


    I was dumbfounded.


    I saw.


    “I understand, I didn’t think that much. But still thank you,” I said lightly, feeling a mixture of


    sourness for a moment.


    I thought the topic should end here, but Nathan probably didn’t believe me and had to emphasize it


    again.


    “That would be the best. I tell you, it’s not because I still like you that I –” “Enough, Nathan.” I


    gradually became impatient.


    I didn’t know why I was getting impatient. Because he thought I was thinking too much? Or because


    he emphasized that he didn’t like me? Anyway, I interrupted him. “I know you like Avia. You have


    proven this with your actions. I absolutely won’t doubt it. Can we end this topic now?” I asked.


    Unexpectedly, Nathan’s eyebrows furrowed even tighter.


    “I like Avia?” He sneered, “Diana, Avia is important to me, but I just treat her like…” “That’s


    enough!”


    A loud roar rang out. Nathan was stunned.


    I blinked and shook my head, “It wasn’t me.‘


    “It’s me!” Lewis was furious, “I’m still here, but you are arguing about these stupid love things. Am I


    non–existent? Even if I lose, you should at least respect me!”


    Nathan and I looked down at Lewis together.


    “So you are ready to reveal the recipe?” I asked Lewis.


    When the focus returned to Lewis, he burst outughing again.


    “Recipe? I told you, I will never tell you! Just give up!”


    Nathan pinched his eyebrows and said, “F*ck, so why are you talking?”


    Lewis gritted his teeth and looked at Nathan.


    “Kill me if you dare! Kill me! Kill me now! You hypocritical coward! You clearly like her but dare not


    say it. I’m f*cking ashamed to lose to you. I


    Nathan kicked out two of Lewis’s front teeth.


    “What the f*ck are you talking about?”


    “I said you are a coward. If you have the guts, then kill me! I will never let you get the recipe,


    hahaha…”


    Due to Lewis’s missing teeth, there were leaks when he said these words. The scene was really


    funny.


    I didn’t want to see this anymore and silently took off the earring on my right ear. “It isn’t up to you.”


    I pinched a pearl on my earring and gently twisted it. The pearl. was split in half, with a white pill in


    it.


    “This is a ‘truth pill‘. As long as you take it, you will say everything.”


    Lewis widened his eyes in terror and said, “I… I tell you. I’m immune to all kinds of poison. This


    medicine is useless to me, no — um!”


    I forcefully pushed it down his throat.


    “We should at least give it a try, right?” I smiled slightly.
