Chapter 1

The moment I ended the call, Aidan Brown walked into the bedroom.

I started coughing from the cigarette smoke, but he only stared at the phone with loving eyes.

In the past, I used to scold him for always forgetting his phone because I could never reach him.

As of late, he kept his phone on him at all times, so much so that he even brought his phone into the shower.

A sweet smile immediately appeared on his cold face.

“What were you talking about?”

He was still looking at his phone while talking to me. He did not even want to spare a glance at me.

I answered honestly and told him that I had agreed to Kieran Wesley’s invitation.

Aidan did not react. He only nodded.

I might even miss his subtle nod if I did not look closely.

His behavior did not surprise me.

I had already gotten used to him ignoring me.

This time, I did not put up a fight. I calmly turned on my laptop and typed out a divorce agreement.

He suddenly laughed. He picked up his jacket and prepared to leave, but he realized his usually ironed clothes were covered in wrinkles.

He finally glanced at me.

“Liora, it was just a fall, and it’s not serious. You’ll recover soon.”

I continued typing and answered coldly, “Alright.”

Aidan was right. Werewolves like us could recover very fast.

These minor injuries were practically nothing to us.

I was able to recover from the physical injuries, but what about the emotional pain from the miscarriage?

The accident had taken away my child, and it destroyed the very last bit of hope that I had toward Aidan.

When I lay on the hospital bed, I could only hear the doctor’s helpless sigh.

He said if I had been sent to the hospital just a bit earlier, my child would not have died.

Aidan sensed my estrangement as he frowned unhappily.

Just when he was about to walk over to see what was on my laptop screen, his phone buzzed.

It only took a single glance at his phone, and his displeasure was immediately gone. He went into his study in excitement.

I smiled mockingly. I used my fake account to view Aidan’s social media profile.

He had hidden the post he uploaded from me.

There was a clear bite mark on Aidan’s neck in the photo he posted.

The caption made me feel like I was the butt of the joke.

[I’m grateful that Moon Goddess sent you to me.]

I liked the post and took the divorce papers I had just printed. I then signed my name on the paper.

The next morning, Aidan purposely woke up earlier and made a commotion.

After I woke up, I looked at the carefully wrapped gift on the table. A card was attached to it.

[Thank you for always staying by my side.]

Just when I touched the ribbon, he immediately slapped my hand away.

My skin immediately turned red. Cold sweat started to form from the pain.

“This gift is not for you. Your gift is the one next to it.”

I spotted some small writing on the card. It wrote, [To my dearest.]

The gift was for Seraphina Gross.

I looked at the cheap jewelry box that was meant for me. After I opened it, I frowned when I looked at the earrings.

I then tossed them into the trash can beside me.

My actions angered Aidan. He yelled at me, “Liora, what are you doing?!”

“I don’t have any ear piercings. Don’t you know that?”

During the ten years I was with him, I had never bought or worn earrings.

Seraphina was the one who liked all such delicate jewelry.

He got up anxiously and almost flipped the table. He then kicked the trash can. “Whatever.”

After Aidan said that, he was about to leave. I walked into the bedroom and took out a bag.

“You should send this for dry-cleaning.”

Aidan rubbed his throbbing forehead when he saw the lipstick on his shirt.

He wanted to make an excuse, but he could not find any.

He looked at me. When he could not see the anger on my face, he let out a sigh of relief. “I’ll tell Seraphina to be more careful next time.”

When I did not answer him, he reluctantly said he would send me to work today.

After becoming his Luna, all our colleagues had been watching my every move.

Aidan hated to be the topic of discussion, so he never showed up with me. We always arrived separately.

He said that as an Alpha, he had to be a role model.

However, he did not know that his action made me the punchline in the others’ eyes.

Since the first day Seraphina became his Beta, they were stuck together like glue.
