A Surprise for the Unfaithful

On the seventh Valentine's Day after we got married, my husband, Ethan Carrillo, who was also Alpha of Sirius Pack, went on a business trip with a female Beta.

When he returned, he gifted me a million-dollar blue diamond necklace as an apology.

Everyone thought he loved me deeply, but I discovered the female Beta was wearing an even rarer set of blue sapphire jewelry he had given her—the entire set, from necklace to earrings to bracelet.

I pretended not to know anything and kept playing the role of the dutiful Luna.

Seeking a thrill, they couldn't wait to indulge in each other in the study while I was fast asleep in my room.

The next day, Ethan gave me a blue fox fur shawl.

At that point, I realized that every blue gift he gave me was a sign of his guilt after his affair.

My closet was overflowing with all the blue gifts he had given me.

At that moment, I gave up. I decided it was time to end this relationship full of lies.

"Lucy Miller, your mate bond with Ethan Carrillo will be severed. Your information in the wolf clan registry will be erased, and he will never find you again. Are you sure about this?"

I kneeled before the Moon Goddess' statue and replied, "I'm sure."

"Okay, then."

A flash of holy light filled the room, and a vial of potion appeared before me.

"Drink this, and you and Alpha Ethan will automatically be divorced in three days. The wolf clan will have no record of you anymore."

Without hesitation, I tilted my head back and drank it in one go.

When I left the shrine, I had already bought a plane ticket to a northern pack.

I hailed a cab, and as I got in, the radio played a news story.

"Sirius Pack's Alpha, Ethan Carrillo, has spared no expense to buy a 50-million-dollar blue diamond necklace for his Luna!"

The host excitedly asked Ethan, "Why did you choose this particular necklace?"

Ethan smiled faintly and said, "Because she loves blue."

The driver sitting in front couldn't help but comment, "Ethan really loves his Luna. I heard Ethan even bought an island and named it after her.

"I wonder which she-wolf is lucky enough to be with him. I heard that they grew up together. They've known each other for over ten years. Guess it was fate."

I stayed silent, my head lowered with a bitter smile. I liked purple, not blue.

I once thought being with Ethan would be the happiest thing in my life and that our love would be pure forever.

But reality proved me utterly wrong.

Ethan and I had indeed grown up together.

Back then, we were both young and naive. I was two years younger than him, and to me, he was just a reliable older brother.

He treated me so well, protecting me like a sister. I never considered that it could be anything more.

It wasn't until we were about to become adults that Ethan came to me with a serious expression and said, "Lucy, I don't want to be your brother anymore. I love you. I want you to be my Luna. Can you give me a chance? I swear I'll always love and care for you."

It was only then that I realized Ethan was no longer the lively young man he used to be.

He had grown into a handsome and strong Alpha, with a powerful build and a face that captivated all the she-wolves. I couldn't help but be drawn to him.

And his feelings for me had been recognized by Moon Goddess.

On the day our mate bond was formed, he invited all the important members of the pack to witness our love.

He shakily put a ring on my finger in front of the Moon Goddess' statue. Tears streamed down his face as he loudly declared, "May all pack members and Moon Goddess witness! I, Ethan Carrillo, officially bind myself to Lucy Miller as her mate from this day forward!

"I will love and protect her forever! If I break this vow, may I suffer all the pain the world has to offer!"

The crowd erupted in applause, praising our love.

Even after we got married, Ethan continued to treat me like a queen. Not only did he shower me with gifts, but he also took care of all the housework, never letting me lift a finger.

Everyone said he was the perfect mate, and we became the model couple in the wolf pack.

But then, one day, a photo landed in my inbox.
