Despite Eloise's attempts of avoiding the task, Raynold had entrusted her, she couldn't win against the Alpha of the Westpine pack.
She asked Ida to accompany her, and the latter agreed. But Ida had to take care of an urgent matter, so she bailed out on Eloise last minute.
That left Eloise alone to walk into the den of a wolf. She stepped out of the carriage to see Harold's lavish house in front of her.
Inhaling the fresh morning air, mixed with the fragrance of the flowers in the garden, she muttered under her breath. "Let's get this done with."
She walked inside the house, determined not to let the man kiss her even once. The very thought of his lips on hers sent unnatural tingles all over her body. She rubbed her arms a bit harshly, wiping those tingles off her body.
The maid greeted her in the living room with a polite bow.
"Good morning, Lady Eloise! It's a pleasure meeting you!"
