Chapter: Until death, we were always confused After leaving the banquet courtyard, Maria and Charles got into a sightseeing car and headed towards the Lesser family gate.Along the way, Charles remained silent, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, and his face looked terrifyingly solemn.Maria also didn't say anything. She held his hand tightly as if she wanted to give him her strength.Even when they got into their own car, Charles didn't say a word. He just gently rested his head on Maria’s shoulder, like an injured child.**********Back at the villa, Maria fetched a bottle of red wine, opened it, and took out two glasses. She tilted her head at Charles."Let's go and drink in the room."She smiled and raised the wine bottle in her hand. Charles noticed and finally relaxed the corners of his tightly pressed lips.He stood up and laughed softly, "How is one bottle enough? You are never drunk after a thousand cups."Maria looked at him speechlessly, seeing him take out two more bottles of red wine. She felt like things wer

Chapter: EricDavid and Hamya exchanged glances as they heard this. It was as if they had made a decision. They immediately said in unison, "We want to go too!""Huh?"Charles looked at them with confusion.David patted his stomach and smiled at Charles, "Young Master Smith, I wonder if your company is in need of pianists? What do you think of me?"Hamya chuckled and nodded, "I think I can do it too. Young Master Smith, please consider signing both of us. We don't ask for much, just a chance to perform in top music halls."David was worried that Charles would disagree, so he put on an even more sincere smile. "Ah yeah, haha... We just feel that Patrick is not enough on his own. With Hamya and I joining, after all, we have better qualifications than him. When the three great piano masters embark on anglobal tour together, and with Maria and Linda, it will be twice as successful.""Exactly!"Hamya laughed happily, "Young Master Smith, a single concert takes too long, Patrick won't be able to handle i

Chapter: Butterfly LoverThe two of them walked onto the stage and sat down at the piano. Maria raised her head and exchanged a glance with Linda, who placed her hands on the keys.The young pianists were curious about what music Maria and Linda would play. This was the second round of the training camp's open competition, and they usually wouldn't get to hear it.Suddenly, the piano played a melancholic melody, carrying a touch of elegance in the air, instantly striking at people's hearts!"This is..."Some couldn't remain calm instantly. "Butterfly Lovers?!""Is that possible? Butterfly Lovers arranged as a piano piece?""Yes, everyone knows that Butterfly Lovers is best played on the guqin, or the zheng would also work. It's my first time hearing it played on the piano.""Hey, no, this version of Butterfly Lovers has been adapted for piano. It suits the instrument perfectly while still preserving the essence of the original piece. It's absolutely refreshing!"After a few seconds of discussion, an unexpect

Chapter: Teacher David Two days later, Maria and Linda arrive at the venue of the exchange conference in their finest attire.They hand over their invitation cards and wait for the security guard to check them.Suddenly, a mocking voice comes from beside them, "Oh oh, who is this? Linda!? Am I mistaken?"The one speaking is Linda manager, and standing next to her is the pianist signed by Linda economic company."Aria, you're not mistaken, isn't that Linda herself?"Hearing their voices, Linda's face darkens. She turns her head and glares at them, "Aria, your eyesight is really not good, you can't even recognize me. You should go to the hospital to have your eyes checked."Aria originally wanted to embarrass Linda, but she didn't expect her to retort so sharply. She immediately gets furious."Linda, the company didn't give you an invitation card. Tell me, where did you steal it from?""Hehe..."Linda raises her chin triumphantly, holding Maria's arm. "Do I need the company to give me one? Just look at who's

Chapter: Great!After arriving in Beijing, the feeling of uneasiness never appeared again, and Maria felt an indescribable relief.Charles had sent someone to take Andrew back to the Lesser family, while Patrick and Linda followed Charles and Maria back to their villa.Originally, Andrew had strongly invited Patrick to come back to the Lesser family with him, but Patrick knew that the Lesser family was big and complicated, so he used the excuse of being with Linda and followed Charles.***********On the third day, when Luna returned from Brussels, she went directly to Maria’s place and looked at Linda, her expression becoming more flattering."Linda, I heard that your contract with your previous agency is about to expire, right?"Maria sat next to Linda, holding a big doll in her hands, feeling very angry."Yes, they told me before that if I could achieve good results in the training camp this time, they would sign me for another ten years and give me all the resources. But just when I announced my

Chapter: Chapter 156Ava’s POv. I turned around, my heart hammering loudly in my chest as I stared at the darkness. This wasn't what I was expecting. I was expecting a shiny room with people sitting down on golden chairs. “Hello,” I shouted, my voice echoing into the darkness. “Is anyone there?” I shouted again but all only my echoes responded back. Taking in deep breaths I decided to move around, it wasn't like I was seeing anything, suddenly a bright light shone in the distance.I swallowed hard, slowly moving towards the light. “Ava,” someone called. I froze, my heart racing as I slowly turned to the direction. A woman slowly walks out of the darkness, a bright smile playing on her lips. “Ava,” she called, reaching for me. I staggered backwards, my hands shaking. “Who are you?” I frowned, my breath heavy. “You have grown so much,” she smiled, trying to reach for me again, her voice filled with tears. “Don't you come close to me,” I snapped looking around wondering if I was in the wrong place.

Chapter: Chapter 155Ava’s POVThe wooden door creaked open as I walked in, Elena sat near the fire, staring at the fire, clearly lost in thoughts. I took a deep breath and walked inside, I hadn’t seen her since she tried to kill me. Elena looked up when she heard me enter, her blue eyes filled with a mixture of shock and guilt. “Hi,” I smiled, stepping closer to her. “It's been long.”She smiled. “Almost four months.”I chuckled, nodding my head in agreement, my eyes scanning through the room. This was becoming awkward already. “So I heard you were the one taking care of Arthur when he was in coma, thank you very much.”“It was my fault anyway, so you don't need to be grateful,” she forced a smile, her voice laced with sadness. “So can I help you?”“We haven’t talked since…” I paused, unsure how to finish my sentence. “Since that night.”Elena sighed and turned away. “Ava… I was wrong.”“No,” I shook my head. “I really don't resent you for that.”“You have alright to,” she said calmly. “I would be ma

Chapter: Chapter 154Arthur’s POVDorian’s face was pale, his hands shaking as he grabbed my shoulder. "Arthur, we made a terrible mistake," he whispered, his voice filled with fear.A cold feeling settled in my stomach. "What do you mean?"Dorian took a deep breath and glanced over his shoulder as if expecting something to appear from the darkness. "The dark magic ritual… Something went wrong."I frowned. "What are you talking about? You said the ritual was safe, that everything went as planned."Dorian pressed his lips into a thin line and hesitated. "I thought it was," he admitted, guilt in his voice. “How bad is it?” I frowned. “Dorian,” Charles called from behind, his brows furrowed in curiosity. “What are you doing here?”Dorian turned to Charles, placing his hands in his pocket. “I think we are doomed.”“Doomed?” Amelia shouted from behind.Damn, where did they come from? Seems like there is no secret place in the Luna's house after the war. “What happened with the ritual?” She demanded. “Well,

Ava was cradling the little boy in her hands, she quickly rushed to me. “I can never get used to knowing that you have lost your wolf,” she said, forcing a smile as she handed me the child. I chuckled. “At least I can hold my child now.”She nods her head quietly, her face flickering to a mixture of confusion and curiosity. “So what did they talk about in the meeting? Did you tell them?”“Tell me what? That I'm leaving?” I asked, rocking my son in my arms, admiring his tiny face. He reminded me of my grandfather. She swallowed hard. “Both, did you tell them that you are leaving?”I raised my eyes, locking eyes with her. “I didn't tell them…yet.”“Oh,” she muttered, looking disappointed. “Ava, I'm doing this for both of us,” I defended. She shook her head, turning back. "We're not leaving," she said firmly, turning back to me. “We can't.”I let out a slow breath, placing the child on the bed. "Ava—""N

Chapter: Chapter 152Jennifer’s POVJennifer’s heels made sharp sounds against the cold stone floor as she walked through the dark hallway of the mansion. The torches on the walls flickered, casting shadows that danced as she moved past them, the people walking beside her, murmuring among themselves. “How can she be so calm, our plans are failing, this is so frustrating, I can't believe I actually sided with her,” someone muttered, her voice low but loud enough for Jennifer to hear. Jennifer halted suddenly, turning to her with a cold glare. “What did you say?” She growled. Ever frozen, staggered backwards as Jennifer took a step closer. “I'm asking you what you just said,” Jennifer snapped. The lady flinched, her body shaking in fear. “Well, I was just worried about Arthur's appearance,” she stuttered. Jennifer's lips slowly curled into a smile. “Really?” She scoffed, holding the woman's head firmly. “Are you scared?”The woman swallowed hard, her heart beating loudly. “A little bit,” the woman st

Chapter: Epilogue EpilogueThe smell of freshly cleaned hardwood floors and bittersweet excitement lingered in the air as Kerry stepped into the banquet hall with Demetria.They'd spent the last week alone in his house, healing from the guilt that Demetria held inside.It'd taken Kerry days to convince her to go shopping for a dress for the coronation.It'd taken him even longer to convince her that none of this was her fault. He wasn't sure she really believed him, but she believed him enough to attend the coronation. It was her niece being announced as Luna. She had to be there.Kerry tucked Demetria into the crook of his arm and admired the way she twisted her hair into a braid on top of her head, and the way it exposed her slender neck. He'd made her pick out an expensive dress, one that curved to her body, and showcased just enough, but not too much because Kerry's wolf wasn't having any of that.Kerry caught a glimpse of Dan and Cynthia sitting at a round table in the midst of the main floor.

Chapter: Chapter 117Demetria walked with Cynthia from the pack house to Kerry's with nervous butterflies in her stomach. Dan and Kerry stayed back at the pack house to deal with some pack-related issues surrounding the upcoming funerals.She was glad to have something to do other than stick around for that. She felt bad enough, and dealing with funeral arrangements made her skin crawl. Grace had been kind, but she didn't miss the absent look in Alex’s eyes. She worried about him the most. That was his father, and he looked up to him."You're thinking about it, aren't you?" Cynthia asked.Demetria glanced over at her pretty face, and the way her smile warmed Demetria's heart."Yeah. I can't help it. It's just ... engraved into my thoughts, ya know."She nodded. "I do. It will fade with time, but in the meantime, we'll focus our energy on Sabrina. I'm sure she's ready to get out of that thing. I don't get it. Of all things to put her in, ya know. Why not something you can actually cuddle with?"Demetria sm

Chapter: Chapter 116Demetria followed quietly beside Kerry on their way to the pack house. It'd taken over an hour for her to gain the courage to leave the room. Even with Jane reassuring Demetria, and Kerry on her side, Demetria was hurting.The guilt felt like it would eat her alive.It showed she had a soft heart, but it made Kerry fear that it would weigh her down just after she freed herself. He interlaced his fingers with hers. He hadn't been to the pack house since the night before, but he figured it would be doom and gloom. He sensed the pack's heartache well into the night, until hefinally had to block his mind from any mind link so that he could sleep.The closer they walked to the pack house, the harder Demetria's heart pounded."There is no need to be nervous, D."She pressed her mouth into a hard line. "I don't know if I can face them right now. Grace, Alex…all the pack..."Kerry turned her to face her. "We need to see them now. Waiting will look like we don't care." He tipped her chin upwa

Chapter: Chapter 115Demetria let the warm water rain down on her back, her face pressed into Kerry's chest as she sobbed. She cried because of Alpha Davis. She cried for the pack and Alex. She cried because she felt guilty. Though deep down, she felt so much relief that it came out in tears.She'd held it in for so long. The pain. The agony. Now they spilled from her like a broken damn. It was finished-mostly. She still had to make a decision about Ivory and Dom, and free Sabrina's spirit from her tortured life inside a bird. What had Jack been thinking?Kerry smoothed his palms down her back.He didn't ask questions about her tears or even try to cheer her up, he just held her. She appreciated it. She needed silence and comfort.They stood there under the waterfall until it turned cold. Demetria hardly noticed.Finally, Kerry picked her up and carried her to his room, where he carefully dried her hair and helped her into some sweats and a t-shirt."I need to go check on everyone, and see what I can do a

Chapter: Chapter 114Watching Demetria make her way toward the portal sent vomit up Kerry's throat. As if the sound of the wolves tearing into the dragon behind him wasn't stressful enough, and the death of his alpha, now his mate was risking her life... again.The inky blackness crawled upward from the ground and molded into Jack’s form.When he blinked, realizing everything that happened, what little resolve he had leftevaporated. Dan still cradled Cynthia to his chest, daring Jack to make a move and touch his mate again.Jack’s deep chuckle melted into a low hum, and then a roar like he was the animal, not the pack. Putting his arms outward, his body shook, and he began to seethe. It reminded Kerry of a deranged 'Dragon Ball Z' character, and he fought his laugh.Demetria made eye contact with him from across the yard and nodded. Stepping closer to the portal, Kerry curled his fingers into a fist. He could see the heat licking at her body, forming sweat against her skin. He went to step toward her, t

The hope she had slowly leaked out like a pierced balloon, and her air went along with it. They should have never let their guard down, not even for a second.Cynthia put her hands outward, and Demetria knew it wouldn't work. He was using her to get what he wanted, the pendant. Because Jack would die trying to fight for Sabrina. If he wasn't so hateful and selfish, it would have been romantic."Don't even think about it," Jack said. "That dragon will set this entire yard on fire in seconds, and Demetria will be tossed into the portal forever."Kerry shifted, quickly, and stepped toward Cynthia. "He's not going to toss her in there," he whispered to Cynthia. "He needs her to bring Sabrina back, and she is his vessel."There was a twinkle in Jack’s eye. "You're right,” he said, tossing Demetria to the ground and lifting Cynthia up. Cynthia screamed, but invisible hands wrapped around
