Chapter 213 The Wolf Unmasked
Sierra stood on her tiptoes and bit down on Johnathan’s throat.
“Sh*t–Johnathan let out a low growl.
His restraint snapped.
In the next second,hescooped her up and carried her straight to the bedroom.
Despite his earlier threats, Johnathan was careful
Even as sweat dripped from hisforehead, he didn’t rush.
Instead, he watched his prey closely.
He waited.
Waited for the tension in her brows to ease, for pain to turn into something else.
Only then did he begin to move.
Johnathanhadalways been a patient hunter.
Years ago, on the plains, he had once stalked a lion for days before striking at the perfect moment.
Tonight, he was hunting something even more precious.
The one thing hehadwanted the most
Sierra.
By the time she realized what she had agreed to, it was too late.
Johnathan didn’t lie.
Hehadtold her–no matter how much she cried, he wouldn’t stop.
And he didn’t.
He whispered sweet nothings in her ear, his voice smooth as silk, promising the world and more.
At first,Sierra had believed him.

But by the end, she knew better.
Johnathan was a liar. A wolf insheep’sclothing. Wolves didn’t just bite. They devoured.
She cursed at him, furious.
ButJohnathanonly laughed, his eyes dark withsatisfaction.
She had never seen him likethisbefore.
By the t
time itwasover, it was far too late for regrets.
Sierra had already been swallowed whole.
Not even her bon
bones were left.
Sierra waswokenup by the sound of her phone ringing.
It was Dickson.
She groggily answered.

“Hello-
She barely recognized her own voice.
Dickson sounded alarmed. “Ms. Sierra? You’re sick? Your voice sounds awful.”
Yeah, a little cold, Sierrasaidvaguely. “What’s up?”
“Nothing. I just noticed it’salreadynoon.Youand Mr. Johnathan haven’t come out yet. Do you want to eat together?”
Noon!
Sierra glanced at her phone.
It wasnearlytwelve.
She had slept that long?
“I have a headache. I’ll skip lunch,” she said quickly
“And Mr. Johnathan?”
Johnathan?
She vaguely remembered himsayingsomething about going back.
“He won’t be coming either. He already left.”
As she spoke, she sat up-
Only for a sharp pain to shoot through her legs.
She let out a quiet gasp.
“Ms Sierra? What’s wrong?” Dickson’s worried voice came through the phone.
“Nothing. I’m hanging upnow.”
She ended the call and sat stillfora moment.
There was only one thought in her head.
Never again.
After washing up, she stepped out of the bedroom and sawanote left on thetable.
Therewasfood in the kitchen.
Sierra raisedanrycbrow.
Johnathanhad made seafood porridge for her.
Where did he even find the time? He even rushed to get back for the ceremony, yet he had still found time to cook for her?
She pulled out her phone.
Johnathan had sent her several messages.
Updates on when he left, when he got to theairport, when helanded.
The most recent
message had been sentjusta fewminutesago.
“Have you gotten up yet?”
Sierra didn’t bother replying.

But she didn’t waste a single bite of the porridge either.
Back at the Wynn estate, theancestralceremony had just ended.
The family was gathered forlunchwhenJohnathan’saunt suddenly spoke.
“Johnathan didn’t stay at the estate last night, did he? I saw him coming back from outside this morning.”
The room went silent.
All eyes turned toJohnathan.
In the Wynn family, there was a strict rule-
No matter what, everyone had to stay at the estate on New Year’s Eve.
It was tradition.
And breaking tradition wasnosmall offense.
It was easy enough to confirm.
All theyhadto do was ask the guards at the base of the mountain.
Johnathan met their gazes without flinching.
That’s right. I came back this morning.”
His voice was calm, unbothered.
For a moment, the room was filled with anticipation, everyone waiting for Mr. Wynn’s reaction.
Some of them were hoping forascolding.
But the old man only glanced at Johnathan and sighed.
“You’re almost thirty,andyou’re still acting on impulse.”
Andthat was it.
No punishment. No reprimand. Just a casual remark.
The tension in the room evaporated, replaced byanew emotion–jealousy.
Johnathan had always been treated differently.
While others had to abide by the rules, he could do whatever he wanted.
They didn’t dareconfronthim directly
But they didn’t have to
Instead, they turned to someone else.
Theyounger grandson.
Johnathan’s direct competition
With carefully chosen words, they whispered in his ear.
“The old man favorsJohnathantoo much.”
“Did you see how easily hegotawaywith that?”

“If it were anyone else, there would’ve beenconsequences.”
“You’re just as much a Wynn as he is. Don’t you think it’s time to start fighting for your place?”
