<h4>Chapter 199: Prelude</h4>


    [Edward’s P.O.V.]


    “Did that b*tch hurt you?” asked I to my mate as I closed the door.


    “No. I was the one who pped her because of what she said about Phil.”


    “Well done, Baby.”


    “But based on her thoughts, she was definitely about to kill me.”


    “Seems like I need to provide you with a personal bodyguard.”


    “There’s no need for that at all, Edward. Before she kills me, I’m sure that I’ll have killed her first. She’s no match for me at all.”


    “I’m sorry, Baby, but you’ll have to bear with it a little longer.”


    “I know. Did you really think that I would just kill her right away? She hasn’t been put on trial yet and I know that you still have some use for her.”


    “If Emily was one-thousandth as smart and rational as you, she might have already found her mate.”


    “Oh? Has she never found hers?”


    “I don’t know and I don’t care.”


    I pulled Mona into my embrace and lowered my head to kiss the top of her head. She was fragrant and her hair was soft.


    Furthermore, her ‘aunt’ had put on a new fragrance for her to better match her changed appearance. She now smelled like peaches, osmanthus, and fresh green tea. She still smelled nice. I believe there was also a hint of frankincense too but I didn’t know if that was because she was a new mom.


    Things at thepany had been getting quite busy recently and I had been trying my best to remotely attend meetings and process documents at home.


    Nevertheless, I would sometimes get so busy that I would be cooped up in my office all day. So, I took the opportunity to suck up all of Mona’s scent right now. It was a great stress and fatigue reliever


    When I looked down at her face, I found her looking back up at me with so much tenderness. Her voluptuous breasts pressed against my body through our clothes and my penis immediately became very excited.


    “Stay tonight,” said I.


    “But Phil is still in the guest room.”


    “I’ll ask my mom to take over and care for her baby grandson tonight. She’ll be very happy, although maybe my dad will be kicked out of bed.”


    I quickly took out my phone to contact my mother and she responded just as I had expected.


    The moment I ended the call with my mother, I found that Mona had already removed her clothes and was now only standing before me in her underwear. I was surprised that she had acted so quickly.


    “God, you’re so sexy, Baby.” Although Rose had always been sexy, I couldn’t ignore Mona’s curves either.


    I was expecting her to be as shy as usual, but she confidently swayed her hips as she walked toward me. Then, she started drawing circles on my chest muscles and I found myself retreating to our bed as if I was beingmanded by a queen.


    “Dearest, how did you-”


    “Shh… You’ve been working so hard, managing thepany, the pack, and also trying to help redeem Southern Wilderness Pack’s reputation. Most of all, you’ve been protecting me and Phil. I’m sorry that I had been so focused on being a mother that I had ignored you for a while, Edward,” said she ever so sexily.


    “What is this?” asked she as her hands found their way to a hard object. I gulped.


    She undid her bra and her two breasts dangled before me temptingly. I could not stop myself from gawking at them. Then, she gave me a hot and sexy kiss but pulled away just before I could fully enjoy it.


    “Mona, what are you ying at?” I wanted more so badly, but I also remembered Dr. Baldwin’s advice so I wasn’t sure what I could or could not do at this moment. This she-wolf behavingpletely opposite to how Rose would have acted did not help either.


    “Edward, tonight is my night,” said she as she bit her lower lip and looked at me seductively. My crotch swelled even more and was starting to feel ufortable. But the next thing I knew, she was already enthusiastically taking off my clothes, including my boxers.


    “Mona, my darling, I don’t think you should be doing this.” But despite my words, my body was a little more honest. And she knew as she kept looking at me seductively.


    “Don’t worry. I’ve asked my ‘uncle’. He said that as long as I don’t use my abilities to attack anything, nothing bad will happen. And I am starting to think that taking our clothes off isn’t having the effect I intended.”
