After ten years of war in the southern territory, my boyfriend Nick finally returned. When he said he wanted to marry me, my heart raced with excitement. At that moment, I thought I had finally found my place in the world. However, after becoming pregnant, I accidentally discovered a full terabyte of intimate videos featuring him and my best friend, Sherry, on his computer, along with his journal filled with declarations of love for her.Then, I checked his secondary WhatsApp account. Although Sherry had already blocked him, he still sent her love messages, confession videos, and voice recordings.I completely lost it and confronted him, which led to a huge argument. After that, I left home, hoping to make him understand my anger and devastation. When I went to the hospital for a prenatal checkup, I saw Nick down on one knee in the hospital lobby, holding roses. For a moment, I thought he was begging for my forgiveness.In that instant, a spark of happiness flickered in my he
Francis's voice on the phone sounded both shocked and delighted. He exclaimed, "Flora, you've finally come to your senses! When you first ran off to Nick's pack to be with him, we thought it was a mistake, but knowing you truly loved him, we respected your choice."He continued, "But you've waited ten years, and he still hasn't proposed. Mom always said he never really loved you, and he was just keeping you as a backup. How could someone who truly loves you not officially make you his?" If it had not been for that terabyte of intimate videos and witnessing Nick propose to Sherry at the hospital, I would have immediately defended him in front of Francis. I would have called him a liar and said Nick was my true mate, the one the Moon Goddess had destined for me. Instead, I replied, "I was wrong. My choices were a joke. Francis, I miss Mom.""Then come home," he said.For years, I had always feared that Nick would fall for someone else while we were apart. So, when he finally bet
I yelled, "Nick, you're not the one whose tendons were torn, who can't stand for long periods, and who lost their entire dream! How dare you ask me to forgive the terrible woman who destroyed my future?"Years ago, Sherry came at me with a knife—she was not just trying to hurt me; she was trying to kill me. The only reason I was still alive was because Nick had thrown himself in front of me and taken the hit instead. And because of that, he believed I owed him an eternal debt of gratitude because he had saved my life. Now, in his mind, since he had forgiven Sherry, I was supposed to do the same—it was ridiculous. Nick's patience finally snapped. "Flora, I'm doing this for your own good. You've always been a loner. You never had any friends except Sherry. Why can't you just let go of the past and be friends again?"His voice carried the authority of an Alpha, as if he truly believed he was acting in my best interest. All the gentleness and warmth he once showed me was gone. In h
During my two days in the hospital, Nick completely vanished from my life. Later, I saw his Instagram updates from Valentine's Day, showing him and Sherry riding the Ferris wheel together, participating in the "Kiss for One Minute at the Top" challenge.When I got home, I gathered every wedding item I had personally picked out and gave them away to the household staff. I let them choose whatever they liked.Then, I scrolled through the photos of Nick and me on my phone one last time, deleting them one by one. It was time to say goodbye to the past and begin my new life. Once I was done, I opened the supplements the healer had prescribed—herbal extracts to help my body recover—and took one. Just then, Nick returned. He spotted the supplements and cheerfully put them back in their gift box, clumsily but carefully retying the ribbon."That's thoughtful of you for getting these supplements for Sherry. She really needs them right now to strengthen... her health," he said. I
The owner of the bridal shop called me. "Flora, does Alpha Nick have a twin brother? Someone who looks just like him brought a woman in, saying she was trying on your wedding dress for you. He even asked me to alter the dress to her size!"I kept my voice calm. "It's fine. Just do what he says. Make sure he pays for it."Later, Nick brought back two outfits for me to try on. I ignored him while coldly watching as he caressed the wedding gown that had been altered to Sherry's measurements, his eyes full of tenderness. He was clearly fantasizing about Sherry wearing the dress and marrying him, his face radiating happiness."Flora, it's a trend now for bridesmaids and the Luna to wear extravagant dresses," he said casually. "It's fine with me," I replied.My wedding gown, worth hundreds of thousands, had been altered to fit Sherry, while the other cheap, off-the-rack dress was in my size. I was nothing more than a background decoration in Nick's eyes—a dull, insignificant shadow st
On the way home, my heart pounded in my chest. I was terrified that Nick would come after me. After all, he was used to me obeying his every command without question. But this time, not only did I fail to show up at the wedding, I also sent him a special delivery. He must have lost his mind with rage. I burst into laughter as I imagined the look on his face.Nick never truly understood me. He never realized that I had always been a rebellious girl chasing my dreams and that I used to love standing under the stage lights, basking in the audience's applause.To him, I was nothing more than a dutiful housewife, patiently waiting for him to come home. But this time, I didn't even give him a chance to stop me—I ran before he could try.I thought back to ten years ago when I'd first tried to leave. I had been foolish enough to leave him a goodbye letter, giving him the chance to stop me.He went straight to my parents, crying and begging them, saying he could not live without me. Then,
That was when I remembered to check my phone and discovered over a hundred missed calls—all from one person: Nick. It was more calls than he had made to me in the entire past decade combined.I wondered if my phone had caught a virus because both my WhatsApp and Messages exploded with notifications the moment I opened them. They were all from Nick too.I did not want to read any of them and was about to turn off my phone when his call came through. He asked frantically, "Flora! Thank the Moon Goddess, you finally answered! Where did you go?"He continued, "I kept calling, and you wouldn't pick up. You didn't reply to my messages either. Do you have any idea how worried I was?"I knew that day you didn't like that dress, right? It's all my fault for being too busy and overlooking it. I'll order you a new one—just don't be mad at me, okay?"He added, "You even cut up the card I gave you. Was it because you thought the money wasn't enough? That was everything in my personal account!
Nick repeatedly tried to interrupt me, but he could not get a word out of it. So, he could only speak after I finished. He said, "Flora, you've completely misunderstood me! You've got it all wrong! Please, come back to me, and I'll explain everything in person."I did not know what there was to explain. I wondered if he would say that I was being difficult and that I should have expressed my dissatisfaction privately instead of having him and Sherry receive my package at the ceremony.I truly hated how he always tried to make me get along with Sherry. After all, if it were not for him, I would never have met Sherry or been stabbed by her.Sherry had always been infatuated with him, but as an Omega, she could only keep her feelings hidden. My first encounter with Sherry was when she recorded Nick's public declaration of love at the basketball game. She sent me the video saying how moved she was, claiming to be the Alpha's fan. She said that since I was going to be his Luna, she h
Nick's eyes were surrounded by massive dark circles, his face was unshaven, and his typically immaculate clothes were filthy and disheveled. He looked more like a stray wolf than the Alpha I once knew.I immediately turned to walk off the stage, but Nick grabbed the microphone from the lead dancer. He looked at me and shouted, "Flora, I love you!"I was under the influence of some hallucinogenic wolfsbane before, but now I'm clear-headed. Give me a chance to make things right! I'll say it a hundred times, a thousand times—I love you!"However, there were no familiar screams or applause this time, and the hall remained completely silent. Then, the lead dancer quietly asked me who he was. I shook my head and calmly replied, "A stranger." Francis' security team and the venue's guards rushed onto the stage to drag Nick away. After his microphone was snatched back, he yelled, "I've got rid of Sherry and that child. Do you believe I'm sincere now?"He continued, "If I can't have you,
My mother and Francis had heard most of my conversation with Nick, and they looked at me with concern. I felt differently though—a brand-new future stretched before me, and the suffering of the past had finally faded like dust in the wind.Back home, I enjoyed delicious meals daily, felt at ease, and grew more energetic with each passing day. My biggest concern was my visible weight gain, which for a dancer like me, felt practically sinful.When the top dance company's manager heard I had returned, he reached out and invited me to be their choreographer and mentor. I found myself back on stage again, directing rehearsals, even busier than before. Each day, I immersed myself in the dance career I loved, finding greater fulfillment as a seasoned professional. During my free time, Francis, my other family, and friends took turns taking me sightseeing, out for afternoon tea, and to concerts.I understood they were trying their best to keep me occupied, making sure my life was full of
