It was unexpected.
Even though Lillianne had already been certain that Blaze Davies was the last reincarnation of Alpha King Leander, he was still a purely human whose inner wolf had not yet awakened. She had done the same thing by following Blaze to his house two days ago, though. The man didn't even notice her presence back then.
Why did his abilities suddenly boost? Out of nowhere?
Lillianne and Theodoros were still shocked. Thus, within a few moments, they were too stunned to speak. Meanwhile, Blaze Davies still looked inquisitive. He couldn't believe his own eyes.
“W-What do you mean, sir? What creature?” Lillianne finally came to her senses and immediately acted dumb. She looked around, before glancing at Theo Greg behind her. "D-Did you see it, Mr.Greg?"
"No. What do you mean, sir? I didn't say anything either," Theo quickly responded to her ploy by playing along.
"I clearly saw it, though. It had the shape of some kind of... either a dog or a wolf. It ran quickly from there, crushed into you, then disappeared just like that," Blaze described as best he could.
"We have no idea what you are talking about, sir." Lillianne lied again.
"I am sorry, but I also feel the same way, sir," Theo supported her.
Blaze was at a loss for words after that. He examined their faces again to be sure, but they were so adamant. It made him question his logic.
"Argh, I don't know. Forget it. Maybe I am just too tired."
He finally stopped thinking further about that and entered his room. Lillianne and Theo shared another look before following him inside.

"I think Leander's wolf started to awaken because of me. I showed too much power around him. He is a former Alpha King after all, his instinct is much stronger than an ordinary werewolf."
During break time, Lillianne and Theo discussed it again in his room. They refused invitations to go out for lunch outside, reasoning that they had a lot of work. They even ordered food as a camouflage.
"I agree, Your Majesty. Even during the three years of working with him, I never showed him my power at all. We also met several other werewolves while working, but they never did anything related to their strength. So, only now has Mr. Davies experienced it," added the vagabond werewolf.
"No. It's more than that. Even in the past, as far as I remember, Dashiel and Prince Ki Yong also naturally showed their werewolf instincts at the beginning of my presence around them. So, I think it was because of me. I was the one who awakened them."
Lillianne thought hard about it for a few minutes. She looked so concerned.
Meanwhile, Theodoros looked like he wanted to ask her. He waited until Lillianne looked ready to talk.
"May I ask something, Your Majesty?" He finally delivered it.
“What?”
"If Mr. Davies' wolf woke up, wouldn't that be a good thing for you? Isn't that what you were waiting for? Why did you lie to him like that?"
"It's just not the time yet. Too soon." Lillianne took a deep breath before adding, "In his current condition, he still couldn't handle it yet. I must be the one who conveys it to him first, and help him to accept his fate. It can't be done right now, because as you can see, he still doesn't like my presence around him."
"Then when will you start?"
"When I am starting to believe that he likes me and is willing to accept his past. That shouldn't be delayed any longer, though. We don't have much time. Zephyr is probably already on the move again to look for me."
Experience had taught Lillianne that the Alpha King always managed to track her down whenever she finally could find Leander's reincarnations. That was why she did her Plan B. She used her self-replication ability to approach Evelyn Davies. She was still curious about her. She also believed that the kid was the main weapon to attract Blaze since she meant a lot to him.
"But, this is still not enough. I think I am playing it too safe. I need to pick up my pace."
Lillianne suddenly got up from her seat after saying that, leaving Theodoros in wonder.

"What happened? I am very sure of my eyes, though. I clearly saw it. But it doesn't make sense."
In his room, Blaze Davies was still thinking about the incident. It took his appetite to eat his lunch, leaving the food that Lillianne bought for him untouched.
"But I really saw it. It didn't feel like a hallucination at all."
Someone knocked on the door from outside. Not long after, Lillianne was seen peeking behind it.
"Sir, I bring your favorite coffee. May I come in?" she asked.
Blaze groaned softly as he said, "No. I am not in the mood right now."
"I already bought it for you, though. Can't you just accept it?" said the girl as she pushed open the door and walked in.
"I am not even giving you permission to come in here--" Blaze was about to protest, but it was cut off. He was a little surprised when he realized something odd about his secretary. "You... what's wrong with your clothes?"
It changed. Blaze remembered very well that the woman was wearing a brown blazer earlier, but she changed it to an ivory bodycon mini-dress. It was in broad daylight, at the company during work hours, she acted like it was one of those random nights at the nightclub. She even did her make-up and hair. Heels attached to her feet.
“W-What are you do--“
"Leander, I missed you." Lillianne suddenly ran towards him, crushing her body to him, and then hugged him tightly. "I really miss you even though I see you every day. I can't live without you even for a blink of an eye."
Here we go again.
The woman called him by another name again. Not to mention how she became so flirty and seductive.
"Let me go." He pushed her. "What's wrong with you? It's only been a few days since I accepted you here, but you are already acting up. You better leave and change your clothes before I kick you out of here--"
"Shh, Leander." She didn't even hear him though. Instead, she moved closer to her and grabbed his waist again. "Stop wasting time like this. We don't have much."
“I said--“
"Sit down." She pushed him into his chair. Just like the last time in Gozo Island, the woman easily overpowered him. "If you still have doubts, you don't need to do anything. I will take over all the work instead."
"What do you mea-- WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Stop it!"
Blaze couldn't believe his eyes when the woman suddenly knelt before his chair. She then started to remove her belt and unbuttoned his pants.
"Stop! What the f*ck are you doing?!"
Blaze tried to struggle, thinking this wasn't right, but he found his hands were handcuffed again. Where did that come from again?
"Hey, this is crazy. I really won't forgive you this time. You are fire-- argh." His words trailed off when she felt her mouth there. It immediately clouded his senses "Stop it, Lillianne Guinn! This is an order-- argh!"
However, she didn't listen. She became even more fierce there, torturing the man who couldn't do anything. He was tied too tightly.
It was like a Deja Vu. No matter how hard he rebelled, he couldn't do anything. Her actions also started to paralyze his common sense. It couldn't be helped. He was a man with needs after all.
He didn't even deny that he enjoyed it. Everything was just too crazy. He had even never imagined something like this even in his wildest imagination. No wonder she beat him easily again.

"Argh, keep going, Lillianne. More..."
Blaze Davies jolted awake. He flinched so badly from his chair that he almost fell.
"W-What... what?"
He expected Lilianne to be there, but she wasn't. Not only that, he also couldn't find the handcuffs that tied his hands. There were not even the slightest scratch marks that had been made by his rebellion.
He glanced at the clock. His eyes darted again after that. It was the exact time he had looked at earlier when he had his secretary between his legs.
"F*ck, stop playing with me."
He immediately checked his laptop to check the surveillance camera in front of his room. He then monitored his secretary.
"No way..."
He was shaking, staring in disbelief at his computer screen. Lillianne Guinn was talking to Theo Greg on her desk. He was even more surprised by the fact that the woman was still wearing the same brown blazer during the meeting. No sexy mini-dress, no fancy make-up, no bling high heels.
"For the god sake, what is wrong with me?"
