[Anton's P.O.V.]
Ellie's coldness was like a knife that stabbed into my heart. This time, I could clearly see the hatred in her eyes toward me. Was this the reason she didn't let me mark her? She'd rather die than let me mark her? I had never seen such determination in a she-wolf.
She was even unwilling to accept my offer regarding Cecil Elementary School.
I couldn't remember when I had hurt her to make her hate me so much.
I stormed out of the hotel in anger. The moment I stepped out, I suddenly regretted my hostility toward her, but I didn't know how else to feel about how indifferent she was toward me.
I sat in the car and looked into the hotel through the window. Even though I couldn't see her, I could feel her aura. Every cell in my body was tempting me to get to her.
In the end, I gritted my teeth and left. Perhaps I should have told Olly to investigate Ellie.
I went to the office, and to my surprise, Olly was waiting for me.
