Kya POV

So, they all know Lina. They all know everything!

"Lina is really good at tennis!" James praised Lina, just like he had praised me earlier.

"Well, it’s because I’m such a good coach!" Owen said smugly.

"I think her skills in bed are even better! She’s got you completely enchanted!" Travis said bluntly.

"Alpha Travis, you're so bad! How can you say that about me?" Lina said, playfully pushing Travis.

"Isn't that the truth?" Owen pinched Lina's chin. "Go change, we’re going to the bar tonight."

Lina bounced off toward the changing room, and I slipped out the back door of the tennis court.

It turned out Beta Ash wasn't the only accomplice—they all were helping Owen to deceive me!

What do they think I am? A fool or a clown?

How many others are watching me like it's some kind of joke?

I told the driver to head home, and I wandered down the street, feeling completely lost.

I thought about how Owen used to teach me tennis.

"Your posture is already good. Let me show you." He stood behind me and gently guided my arms.

"Feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent. Hold the racket—"

"That’s close, but don’t aim for the moon next time."

"You have talent. I’ll make sure to reward you tonight."

......

He looked so handsome and confident on the court and used to be so patient while teaching me.

Is he teaching Lina the same way?

Before, when I used to run into Lina, I had this sense of superiority that she was nothing more than Owen's sex partner.

But now, at this moment, my last shred of pride was shattered.

A voice in my head told me, You’re just one of his sex partners.

***

Four days are left until the Moon Goddess festival, and I went to the Pack clinic for something important to confirm.

I walked out of the consultation room holding a small paper bag with medicine inside, still processing what the doctor had said:

"Luna Kya, you're not pregnant and don't have any gynecological issues. Your recent symptoms are due to hormonal imbalances caused by emotional stress and lack of sleep. Relax, take the calming medication regularly, and things will gradually improve."

I breathed a sigh of relief.

I wasn’t sure if Owen had other lovers before Lina. Many sexually transmitted diseases have incubation periods, and I was worried that I might have caught something from Owen. I was also concerned that my period being two months late was due to pregnancy.

As I reached the stairway, I stopped.

I saw two familiar people standing below—Owen and Lina.

Lina quietly slipped something into Owen's pocket, then naturally placed her hand on his chest, whispering something with a mysterious smile.

Owen noticed someone was watching and suddenly turned his head. When he saw me, his expression flashed with panic, and he quickly stepped away from Lina.

"Kya, what are you doing here?" His tone mixed with a bit of nervousness and concern.

"And how come you're here?" I didn’t answer him but asked instead.

"I brought a few injured soldiers to the hospital, and Lina was helping to take care of them. I just came to check on their condition," Owen hurriedly explained.

Lina, however, chimed in with a light tone, "Yeah, nursing work is nothing compared to Luna's easy life."

I could hear the sarcasm in her words. My brow furrowed slightly, but I didn’t respond immediately.

Owen’s face darkened, and he shot a cold glare at Lina. "Watch your tone with Kya. Don’t forget your place! Apologize to your Luna!"

Lina looked hurt, gritting her teeth.

Owen glared at her again, but it seemed less like reprimanding and more like trying to shift my attention away so I wouldn’t suspect anything.

"Luna Kya, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have offended you," Lina mumbled.

Owen walked over and put his arm around my shoulders, speaking softly, "You still haven’t told me, how come you're at the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I haven’t been sleeping well, so I came to see a doctor. The doctor said it’s nothing."

Hearing this, Owen’s brows slightly relaxed, and his expression became more at ease. He quickly took the medicine bag from my hand, speaking firmly, "Next time you’re feeling unwell, tell me beforehand. How could you come to the hospital alone? I’ll take you home."

"But don’t you still have things to do?" I raised an eyebrow, my tone slightly mocking.

"There’s nothing more important than you," he said without hesitation, his gaze sincere.

I lowered my head and said nothing, letting him lead me out of the hospital. Behind us, I heard Lina snort, but I didn’t look back.

In the car, Owen asked a few times about my health.

I only gave vague replies. Leaning against the window, I couldn’t help but ask, "What was the thing Lina slipped into your pocket?"

"I can’t grab it right now while driving, but if you don’t believe me, you can check my pocket.""I was just asking!" I responded quickly.He was sure I wouldn’t search his pocket.After we got married, he even told me his phone password. But I had never looked at his phone. There were many things I just couldn’t be bothered to do.At that moment, Owen’s phone rang, disrupting my thoughts.Unlike before, Owen didn’t pick up; instead, he turned the phone off."Tonight, I’m not answering anyone’s calls. I’m going to spend a nice dinner with my baby!"Once we got home, he immediately went into the kitchen, becoming the perfect husband."These are all your favorites, try them," he said.Before we got married, Owen didn’t know how to cook.

Ash was following him, carrying a pile of gift bags."Baby, did you miss me? Take a look at what I got for you," Owen said as he walked in, wrapping his arms around my waist and resting his head on my chin.He still smelled like the familiar ocean scent. I used to think it was refreshing, like endless summer, but now, it just felt sticky and fishy."Let me see," I said, pretending to be happy as I unwrapped the gifts and gently pushed him away.There were cinnamon cookies I used to love and a pair of emerald earrings I had once liked. Was he trying to make up for his guilt with gifts? It’s just an old trick men use.Before my mother passed away, she had many useless gifts that my father had given her. But those jewels that once hung around her neck now adorned another woman."I’ll put these on for you," Owen said, holding the earrings to my ears "See? Don't they

After ensuring there was no one else in the backyard, Owen took Lina to stand beneath a maple tree.This maple tree was one that Owen had specially planted for me when we got married. He said it symbolized our love,but now, it had become a witness to his betrayal.Owen held Lina's waist and pressed her against the tree, kissing her passionately. He even slid his hand up under her dress. That intimate gesture made my world spin for a moment. And Lina just smiled and nestled in his arms, whispering something.Why does it still hurt? I clutched my chest, mocking myself.I don't know how much time passed before Lina finally lifted her head, straightened her disheveled dress, and left the garden, her

If you want to see me, you should make an appointment with Ash in advance.""I just missed you so much.""We just spent two days together. ""I can't stand being apart from you for even a second." Lina pouted in my arms.Her childishness calmed my anger.Compared to her, Kya was rarely so spoiled. She was more independent and rational. Although she occasionally acted cute, she never threw tantrums."Stop fooling around. I'll have Ash take you home.""No, I want you to come with me."Then she grabbed my hand and placed it under her skirt, whispering, "I’m not wearing anything under my skirt."When I touched the wet spot between her legs, she let out a soft moan. I couldn’t help but swallow hard and kiss her.She quickly responded passionately, biting my lip.Before I lost control, I pushed her away."Behave, go home first. I’ll come see you tomorrow.

    Owen POVI had always been cautious about hiding my relationship with Lina. Today, her sudden arrival at my house was the one time I let my guard down.Kya shouldn't have happened to see it, I reassured myself."Where is Kya?" I asked a maid who was folding clothes."Isn't the lady at home? I haven’t seen her leave," the maid replied, looking confused.I asked two more maids, but they all shook their heads, not knowing where she was.My worry and fear grew stronger."It’s impossible..." I muttered.I rushed to the surveillance room and played the villa’s security footage.Around 2 PM, Kya appeared on the screen. She was wearing simple sportswear, carrying a canvas bag, and walking out the back door. Her steps were calm, as if she was casually walking, but I noticed her slender shoulders trembling slightly.At that moment, it felt as though something had stabbed my chest.The way she looked on the screen reminded me so much of when we first met three years ago—back then, she was wearin

I was shocked that he had found me here!After hesitating for a moment, I opened the door.Under the dim light, he looked completely different—haggard, thin, even slightly hunched over, as if he had shrunk a few inches in height.“Kya, I can’t believe it’s really you.” He tried to reach out to me, but I instinctively took two steps back.This seemed to hurt him, and tears welled up in his eyes.“I’ve been looking for you so hard. I even went to the town where you spent your childhood and saw the lily of the valley flowers. You’ve been there, right?” His voice was choked.“What do you want from me?” I asked coldly. “We’ve already broken the mate bond.”“Are you still angry with me?” he said softly. “I know, I was wrong. I’ve sent Lina away, I swear, I will never do anything to hurt you again!”“Swear? Haven’t you made vows to me before?” I said sarca

Without a car, I had no choice but to walk when I need basic supplies.The endless yellow sand, the vast, boundless sky—underneath, it was just me and my shadow moving across the dunes.The solitude was overwhelming.Living in the desert wasn’t easy.I managed to find a job teaching English at the local elementary school.The children were curious about me, a foreigner with an accent and unfamiliar clothing.“Teacher, why did you come here?” a boy asked during recess.I smiled and replied, “To learn something new.”In a way, that was true.In my spare time, I immersed myself in the local culture.

That’s definitely going to heal Kya’s wounds!""I was drunk, and she seduced me. Bro, we’ve heard that excuse way too many times.""This apology feels more like it’s for yourself, not for Kya.""He just wants to recover the company’s losses—it’s all business."......“No, I sincerely wanted to apologize…” I stared at the screen, weakly trying to defend myself. The interview made me a complete joke. Time crawled by, day after day, in search of Kya, but all in vain. Kya still seemed to have vanished without a trace, as if she had evaporated into thin air.Deep down, I consoled myself, thinking the internet’s memory was fleeting—this storm would eventually
