After he disappeared from sight, I stepped into the office. The busy and bustling atmosphere with the sound of typing on the keyboard and the chatter of my coworkers immediately greeted me. However, my mind couldn’t fully focus on work. The beautiful flowers that Mark bought were still in my head, giving a new color to my day.As time went by, I started to finish the work that was waiting. Every time I thought of Mark, I felt a warm feeling flowing. Even though I was still traumatized by my past relationship, his presence seemed to give a new light to my life that had been dark.In the midst of my business, every now and then, I glanced towards the window, hoping to see Mark again. Suddenly, the sound of the phone ringing startled me. It was my mother.“Hi, Ariane! How are you today?” my mother asked in a cheerful tone.“Okay, Mom. Work as usual. And… yes, I’m fine,” I answered a little hesitantly. I didn’t want to worry MomRelated chapters

Ariane’s POVAfter a few moments, Leon took a deep breath, seemingly struggling between emotion and reality. Finally, he decided to leave, leaving some of the heavy air behind. “Okay, if that’s what you want, Ariane,” he said before leaving the room. After he left, I shook my head, feeling a little relieved but also tired. The atmosphere that had been warm with Mark now felt tense. “I’m sorry if this feels uncomfortable, Mark,” I said, trying to cool things down. “It’s okay, Ariane. This is probably part of the process you have to go through. I’m here if you need support,” Mark replied, his smile once again patting away the emptiness in my heart. As I continued my work, I knew this wasn’t over yet, but I could feel my inner strength slowly starting to recover. I'm ready to face the emotional turmoil of my wolf from the past and take what comes next slowly, one step at a time. That night, after tidying up and preparing the place for

Ariane’s POVThe fatigue that still hung over my body was now filled with new enthusiasm. Slowly, I held both of my mothers in my arms, feeling the warmth of their little bodies. We are here together, and there is no obstacle that we cannot face—as a family and as wolves united. With them, I know that this journey has just begun, and although many things may be uncertain, I am confident that this love and commitment will guide me. Every day is a new step, and I will continue to walk confidently towards a future full of hope. I named them Zara and Zoya, two beautiful names for my twin daughters. Every time I heard their names, I felt a warmth envelop my heart. Zara and Zoya have special meanings; Zara means “princess” or “blooming flower,” while Zoya means “life” and “light.” In my mind and heart, I felt lucky and grateful to be their mother. Even though the pain still accompanied my every movement, I was determined not to give up. I didn’t want

Ariane’s POVHearing Mark’s name, my feelings were mixed. He was indeed a kind person, and remembering that he ignored my situation to send food made me feel very appreciated. “Oh, so it’s from him,” I said, a little touched.“Well, there’s no harm in trying it. Besides, we can’t push ourselves too hard,” Lia added, a gentle smile on her face encouraging me.Finally, I decided to accept the food that Mark sent. “Okay, then. You and Mona should eat this. I’ll cook my own food,” I said with a smile. Lia and Mona immediately opened the food package that Mark had delivered, and the mouth-watering aroma immediately wafted into the air. “Wow, this looks delicious! You’re lucky, Ariane,” Mona said enthusiastically, taking out plates and neatly serving the food. While they enjoyed Mark’s food, I was busy preparing my own cooking. Although I really wanted it, I felt more comfortable relying on the food I was used to making. After serving th

Ariane’s POV “See? Less than five minutes and everything is fine,” Lia leaned close to me, making me smile. “Yes, thank you for all your help. I don’t know what I would have done without you,” I sincerely expressed my deep gratitude. With a sense of relief and joy, I once again held my two daughters in my arms. This precious moment reminded me that although there will always be challenges, I am not alone. There are people who are ready to help, and the love flowing from them will make this journey easier. Looking at the little faces of Zara and Zoya, I know that nothing is more precious than this journey and making memories with them. Living a new life as a mother is not easy, but with the support around me, I feel more confident in this journey.*A month after giving birth, I have fully recovered. My body feels stronger, and all the annoying symptoms have disappeared. Today is a special day because I finally go back to work. It feels mix

Ariane’s POV Mark just stood there, as if he didn’t get my hint. “I just wanted to make sure you were okay. I worry about you sometimes, you know,” he said, his tone more affectionate.I really didn’t know how to respond. On one hand, I appreciated his concern, but on the other, I felt like I needed to distance myself and focus on my work, especially given the mood I’d been in for the past month.“Thanks, Mark, but I’m fine. Now, if you don’t mind, I need to get on with my work,” I said firmly, hoping it would push him out of my mind. After a few long seconds, she finally nodded. “Okay, I’ll go. But if you need any help or want to talk, feel free to call me,” she said, before turning to leave. I let out a sigh of relief. The tiredness and tension from that interaction began to subside. Now, my focus was on finishing my work and going back to my apartment to be with my two daughters whom I had left all day. By the way, so far I hav

Ariane’s POV “Does that mean the Blue Moon Pack forces led by my father have defeated the Black Moon Pack forces?” I asked, trying to calm the tension in my mind. If so, this was a very serious situation and could change a lot of things between all of us. My mother didn’t seem too concerned. “That seems true. They are always looking for opportunities to gain power. And now, Leon is in danger,” she replied, her voice flat, devoid of emotion. A mixture of emotions filled my heart. Even though Leon was a part of my past that I wanted to forget, hearing that he was dying made me feel trapped in a complicated situation. Should I feel sorry for him? Should I help him or just let him get hurt? “This is a complicated situation, Mom. Why are you telling me this now? Do you expect me to feel sorry for you?” I said, still in a harsh tone. For me, it wasn’t just about Leon. Deep down, it was also about my compulsion to come to terms with a past that I didn’t

Ariane’s POV Unfortunately, my children are only a month old, and they certainly don't know what a picnic is. Even so, I talked about the plan in the context of the future, when they are older and can be sensitive to their surroundings. I just want to give the best for my two daughters, creating beautiful memories that they will remember when they can understand the world better. The next day, I woke up early and started preparing breakfast for myself as a provision for work. Meanwhile, for the babysitters, I let them cook or buy their own food. They were already quite independent and self-sufficient, so I felt like this was the right decision.After getting everything ready, I looked at the clock and realized that time was running out. “I’m going now,” I said, gently touching my two daughters’ heads. At that time, they were sound asleep in their beds.Before I left, I kissed my two daughters softly, savoring the warm moment. “Mommy will be back soo

Ariane’s POVOne day, as I sat on the porch, listening to the gentle whisper of the wind, memories of Leon came flooding back to me. Images of memories flashed through my mind—days of vision during our marriage that quickly turned into moments of tension. I took a deep breath, trying to push the images away. Suddenly, my phone vibrated. A text message came in from Mark, who was at work, asking if I wanted to go for a walk. I quickly answered it, trying not to show that I was feeling anxious. When we met, Mark had been cheerful and enthusiastic, trying to make me laugh. Every smile he gave me could erase a little of the darkness that was hanging over my mind. But as we walked under the moonlight, Leon’s shadow kept chasing me. It felt like there was something I couldn’t let go of, something that kept reminding me of the pain I had experienced. “Hey, are you okay?” Mark asked softly. His voice brought me back from my deep thoughts. “Yeah, j

Ariane’s POVI sighed as I tended to the plants in the backyard. The scent of wet soil and the fragrance of blooming flowers reminded me of the good old days when I worked at a flower shop. Back then, my life was full of color and hope. However, now, my life felt more complicated with the presence of Leon, my ex-husband. After Mark left for work and the kids went to school, I felt as if the world around me was quiet. I recalled how Leon suddenly appeared a few weeks ago. Even though he was Zara and Zoya's biological father, his presence made me feel anxious. I didn't want anything to ruin the happiness I had built with Mark. "Why did he have to come now?" I thought as I trimmed some dry leaves from the rose plant. "We've built a new life, and I don't want the past to haunt us." I remembered the first time I met Mark at the flower shop. They shared the same love for plants and flowers. Mark was a patient and caring person, very different from Leon wh

Ariane’s POV "Oh yeah, how about we take the kids camping?" I asked Mark.Mark replied that there was an event this weekend at a restaurant and he had to be there as the chef. I sighed softly, trying to figure out how to explain to Zara and Zoya that our camping plans would have to be postponed. The two little girls always got excited whenever they heard about outdoor adventures. They loved the idea of sleeping in a tent, listening to the sounds of nature, and having a campfire and roasting marshmallows.“Okay, I’ll tell them,” I told Mark. “But we have to reschedule soon. They’ve been waiting for this.”Mark nodded, his face showing guilt. “I’m sorry, honey. I know how much they’ve been looking forward to this. Maybe we can plan for next weekend?”“Yeah, that’s a great idea. I’ll talk to them and make sure they understand,” I replied with a smile, trying not to sound too disappointed.After I finished talking to Mark, I

Mark’s POVAcross the table, Zoya, who was a few seconds younger than Zara, chimed in, as if she didn’t want to lose attention. “We will always love each other, right, Daddy?”I nodded firmly, holding Zoya’s hand gently. “Yes, love is the most important thing. No matter what happens, we will always love each other.” Both children smiled, relieved to hear my calming words. In the corner of the table, Ariane, my wife, also smiled. She witnessed how I struggled and succeeded in rebuilding the warmth of our family since the divorce.“Daddy, how did Daddy and Mama meet?” Zara asked again, now in a lighter tone, as if the conversation had lifted a burden from her shoulders. My eyes sparkled as I remembered her past. “Oh, it’s a long story, Zara. I always met your mother at the flower shop where your mother worked. Since then, we have been inseparable.”Zoya, who loved hearing her parents’ stories, became even more interested. “Is it like in a fairy tale

Mark’s POV After a moment that was too long, I finally took a deep breath. "I will not fight you, Leon. I will choose our love over violence." Leon nodded in understanding, although there was disappointment in his eyes. "Very well, Mark. You win this time. But don't think that this fight is over. I will come back and try again." With that, Leon left us. I felt relieved that I had managed to avoid unnecessary bloodshed, but I was still afraid of the threat that continued to lurk in my family. Ambiguity. That's how I feel now. It was unclear whether our future would be safe or not. But one thing was for sure: I would do everything I could to protect my family as a husband and a father. Because love and family are everything to me, and I will fight to the death for them.Days passed, and I tried to stay positive.

Ariane’s POVMark was very supportive of my efforts. He often helped promote my small business in his restaurant, and fellow customers began to recognize my work. Every night, when we gathered for dinner, we would share stories about our day. Zara and Zoya would tell us about their friends at school, while Mark would share his experiences at the restaurant. As time went by, I felt more confident. My business not only provided additional income but also gave new meaning to my life. I learned a lot about time management, marketing, and creativity. Mark's support played a crucial role in my success, and I am forever grateful for his encouragement and belief in me.

We splashed around, splashed each other, and even tried to jump together as the waves came. This togetherness felt so precious. As the sun began to tilt to the west, we returned to the picnic spot. Mark brought out the food that had been prepared. “Time for lunch!” he said. We sat together, enjoying sandwiches and fresh fruit while enjoying the beautiful view of the sea. Zara and Zoya told stories about their adventures in the water while Mark and I shared smiles, feeling simple yet meaningful happiness. After eating, we decided to take a walk along the beach. The soft sand beneath our feet and the soothing sound of the waves created the perfect atmosphere. We found beautiful shells and even saw some seabirds flying low over the water.

At home, they sat at the dining table, and Zara began to explain further. "Mia said, we can draw anything we like. I already have an idea! I want to draw a colorful flower garden!" Zoya listened intently, imagining the cheerful drawing. After dinner, the two of them went to their room to start planning their drawing. Zara took out paper and colored pencils, while Zoya watched attentively. "How about we draw together? We can make one big drawing!" suggested Zoya, who usually preferred to work alone. Zara immediately agreed, and they began to draw. Zara drew bright flowers, while Zoya added a backgrou
