"It's been a while, Avril," Marcus said, giving me a deep look as he clinked his glass with mine.

I took a sip of wine and slowly sat back down.

Heather tugged on my sleeve and winked at me. "There's something off about both of you tonight, Avie."

"Huh? What is it?" I asked.

"Marcus' eyes have never left you since he stepped into this room."

"You're mistaken, Heather."

"Avril! Who do you think I am?" Heather exclaimed indignantly. "I'm Heather Winters! I can see through every couple with j

    Third-Person POVThe marking ceremony was held in an ancient palace in Frosthill Mountains. It was a very luxurious and romantic affair.Yet, Eric and Jason were not allowed to even step foot in the inner sanctum of the palace where the ceremony was being held. They still stayed and never left.However, Jason didn't manage to make it to the end of the ceremony. He suddenly suffered from a heart attack and was quickly rushed to a healing center nearby. He managed to pull through, but he remained in a coma and never woke up.Meanwhile, Eric stayed for the entirety of the ceremony.For some reason, Heather never blocked him on social media, so he could practically watch the entire ceremony through her online posts, stories, and reels.Before the ceremony, he'd already found out that Avril's new mate was Marcus Howler. He was Avril's senior from her college days, and he was a very outstanding wolf whom she admired a lot.Back then, Eric and Avril had still been in the early stages o

    Avril's POVMy marking ceremony with Marcus took place the following spring.Heather was my only bridesmaid, just as we promised back when we were still in college.I didn't inform any of my friends or relatives in Northpine Woods about my marking ceremony, but somehow, the news got out.Dad and Eric both arrived on the day of the ceremony.The makeup artist was putting my makeup on when they came, and Marcus came in to ask my opinion about them attending.I looked up instinctively and caught sight of myself and my to-be mate in the mirror.My makeup was heavier than usual today, and I looked a whole lot different from how I normally looked—just like the roses that Marcus had especially planted for me in the greenhouse—shy, bashful, and delicate, yet as captivating as ever.Meanwhile, Marcus looked even more handsome than ever in his black haute couture suit.We exchanged glances. And in that instant, we saw the smile in each other's eyes."I don't want to see them," I said.

    Yet, Jason, who used to always dote on Layla, didn't even spare her another glance this time.He simply waved his hand dismissively like he was shooing a fly and told the maids to kick Velma and Layla out.Layla still refused to give up even as she approached the castle door. She clung to the doorframe and screamed at the top of her lungs, "Eric Blackclaw! You can't do this to me! You can't! I'm pregnant! You're the father of my pups! You have to take responsibility and mark me!"She screamed so loudly in the end that she looked twisted and deranged like she'd gone completely crazy."Eric?" Jason asked, turning to look at him.Eric felt a wave of nausea. He wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.How could he have ever fallen for a she-wolf as deranged and delusional as her?"Alpha," he said, approaching Jason. "I have never laid a finger on her. I swear I never did.""Good. That's a relief," Jason said, heaving a long sigh of relief before waving his hand at the mother-daughter duo

    Sometime later, Avril's neighbor couldn't put up with all the noise Eric was making at the door and came out to see what was going on.He told Eric that Avril had long moved out of the unit next door.Then where could Avril have gone?Was she not in Northpine Woods anymore?Was she ever coming back?If yes, when?Eric didn't know a single answer to any of his own questions.He just had a single thought on his mind, and it was one that filled him with extreme terror.He'd lost Avril for good.He'd probably already lost her forever, completely and utterly.…All of the schemes and slanders that Velma and Layla made against Avril were finally exposed. Even the maids in the Alpha's castle all stood up and spoke well of her.It wasn't until then that Jason finally realized he'd wronged his own daughter the entire time.So, he wasted no time in asking the Alpha King for help to dissolve and break the mate bond he'd formed with Velma.Velma and Layla were a mess on the day they

    "I am allergic to rose oil! Dad knows about it! And Avril was the one who told the maids to smother my bed in rose oil! Dad was the one who found out about it…" Layla exclaimed, crying pitifully as she nursed her stinging cheek."You're still trying to lie about it!" Eric roared, suddenly stepping forward and grabbing her by her collar. He tightened his hold on her, lifting her up. And since he was very tall, Layla was almost lifted off the ground."E-Eric… let go… I can't breathe…"Eric looked down at her, his handsome face gradually souring."Did you forget, Layla, that the perfume you're using is Avril's favorite scent, with the main ingredient being rose oil? I bought her many bottles of rose perfume in the past because of how much she likes the scent of roses. I'd just forgotten about it later on…"Eric suddenly let out a self-deprecating laugh.Indeed, he'd forgotten too many things.He'd forgotten Avril's devotion to him all these years and how deep her feelings for him h

    Eric's mind was filled with the last look that Avril gave him before she turned and left. It was calm, collected, and devoid of any emotion. It seemed like she saw him as nothing more than a stranger—an insignificant passerby in her life.The moment he recalled Avril's gaze, Eric suddenly stood up. But just as he was about to go out, Layla suddenly pushed the door open and entered."Eric?"She was still as beautiful and delicate as ever. Her pretty, almond-shaped eyes were always bright and glistening, and she looked like she could burst into tears at any moment. It was easy for anyone to think that she'd just been teased or bullied by someone."Why did you drink so much again? You're going to complain about a headache again tomorrow, aren't you?"She went over to him and hooked her arm around his while speaking in a soft, gentle tone.Eric was just about to speak when he suddenly caught a whiff of the familiar scent again. He felt his heart skip a beat. His hand, which he'd me
