In the days that followed, my life returned to normal, somewhat calmer. Every day I visit Evelyn and my friends at the hospital, then return home. Although Ryan is very busy, he always spends a certain amount of time with me. If I'm not mistaken, we have implicitly defined a relationship. We have become more comfortable with our manners and easily express our feelings.As usual, I was returning from the hospital in the afternoon when I found Alfine sitting on a wooden bench in the park. I hadn't seen him for a while; before that, I heard that he had to often go back and forth between Black Moon and Red River to take care of his work, rarely saw him leisurely sitting and relaxing."Alfine," I called out softly and walked over to him.Alfine looked up at me with tired eyes, haggard as if he hadn't slept for days.It seemed Alfine wasn't surprised to see me either, he asked slowly with a hoarse voice. “Having been good lately?”"Still good." I smile, and then I remember what Ryan said la

I did not visit Evelyn that day nor see my 'family' off. I wandered like a fool and came to the riverside without realizing it. I just remembered that I needed to change my slippers; now that I have left the house, I still wear thin slippers. When I stepped on the sharp rocks on the stream bank, it hurt even more than when I walked barefoot. With that in mind, I threw off my slippers and dipped my feet into the cool water.At least that way, I can forget about some sad things.I used to dream I could walk alongside Ryan, but Lucy's words this morning woke me from that dream.What do I deserve to be with him?Nothing...'Stupid! As long as he loves us, that's enough! Do you need to care what other people say?' It's been a while since she took the initiative to talk to me.Recently she has been no longer controlling or harmful to me; on the contrary, I feel she is about to become my good friend. At least at these times, she was alone beside me.'If only love were enough, wouldn't everyt

I kept quiet, I understood that what Evelyn was saying was true, but I lacked the courage.How can I ask him directly? So what will the answer I get?“Are you going to hide forever? Wait until Alpha marries another girl, then you are the one who suffers the most. What will you do then? You're going to cry like an idiot and pack your clothes and leave, right?" Evelyn got angry when I kept procrastinating. “You should know one thing, if you get kicked out of Black Moon, even Red River will refuse to accept you. Then you are nothing more than a wanderer.”“Evelyn, I understand, but….” I lowered my face to hide my insecurity.Evelyn sighed and lifted my face. “You are not alone; I support you. Oh no, it's us; although Roger is a bit annoying, I believe he's on your side. And I trust our Alpha. If he says he loves you, he won't leave you."Hearing her say that, I couldn't help but cry; Evelyn finally convinced me and nodded.In the evening, I took the initiative to go to the kitchen to tal

Evelyn finally smiled at me. At the same time, Max came out; he glanced at me and then spoke to Evelyn with an expression that couldn't be sterner. "Come inside; I have something to say.""Is there something that can't be said here?" Evelyn raised her eyes in disinterest. "If you like, go and talk to your Violet yourself; we don't need to go inside to see the two of you exchange affectionate glances or act out a passionate love scene."“What nonsense are you talking about? When did you see my exchange penetrating glances with her?" Max was a little annoyed. "I see a problem with your eyes."Evelyn rolled her eyes. "Everybody sees it, and it's not like I slandered you."Max was silent for a moment as if trying to suppress his emotions, then spoke. "Your attitude is not good today; you go home and rest; no need to practice."Evelyn stood up again, furiously pointing the knife at Max's face. “What do you mean? You want to chase me out of this place quickly; no one will bother you, right?

Titus took a step forward, his dangerous aura showing me shivers. "If she wants to be punished, let her have it."Ryan pulled me behind him, his broad back blocking everything, including Titus's terrifying gaze. "No one is allowed to touch her, or even my 'father. I won't forgive either."“Are you threatening me?” Titus scoffed. “Is this the first time you have opposed me because of her? It seems my mistake was to let her be in this place. I should have ordered her to be killed from the moment she set foot in the Black Moon.”“If you think it's a mere threat, you're wrong. It is a warning, and it will be real if you dare go too far, Father.” Ryan emphasized every word that made Violet's smile freeze.The atmosphere is like poison; it makes me not dare to breathe hard.I was worried their relationship would break, so I quickly pulled Ryan's hand and whispered in his ear. "Don't argue with your father because of me; let me admit my fault and take the punishment."Ryan didn't respond to
