His tone was matter-of-fact, not judgmental.

I couldn't help poking him in the arm.

"He's twenty-five, you're thirty-two. You're not that much older. Stop acting like a wise elder."

I waved my hand dismissively, but I could feel heat creeping up my neck.

"Don't overthink it. I just happened to hire him when I opened the shop here. He needed work, I needed help."

"Impossible." Neil's voice carried absolute certainty.

"I'm at least a Beta, now acting Alpha. I can read wolves pretty well."

He pointed toward where Forest had disappeared into the restaurant.

"Anyone who can afford those Italian leather shoes and that Swiss watch wouldn't be working in your little flower shop for a few low-grade gems."

"He's here because he wants to be near you."

This time, I couldn't maintain my casual facade.

I forced a smile that felt brittle on my face.

Then I unconsciously covered my lower abdomen, the gesture automatic after months of mourning.

"Neil, I'm just an Omega now. And I don't have the right t

    That night, Neil got completely drunk.The next morning when I woke up, I found a message from him."Scarlett, I wish you a bright future ahead."I sent him a reply."Next time you have a chance to visit Silver Pack, I'll treat you to dinner and show you the flowers."That evening, he responded:"Dinner sounds great, but I'll pass on the flowers..."He truly was a pack Beta - his ability to read wolves was spot on.In the days that followed, Forest became increasingly attentive to me, constantly bringing me premium gemstones and high-grade herbs.He thought I couldn't tell what they were, not knowing these were all things I'd used before.Until one day, he invited me to join him at the Blood Moon Pack's Moonlight Festival, held once every three years.This was the grand celebration Marcus and I had attended together every time.I hesitated for a long while before accepting his invitation. Maybe I wanted to finally say goodbye to the past."Look, look! That roasted rabbit smells amazing

    Half a year later, Neil arrived as promised, his sleek black Maybach pulling up outside my modest flower shop.The contrast between his expensive car and my simple storefront couldn't have been more obvious.He stepped out wearing a perfectly tailored charcoal suit, but his expression was warm and genuinely pleased to see me."You used to be the mate of our Red Wolf Pack's Alpha, after all."His voice carried a hint of protective concern as he looked around the small Silver Pack territory."Are you really comfortable staying in this tiny Silver Pack?"He wore a kind smile, but I could see him taking mental notes as his eyes scanning the flowers in my shop.Calculating whether I was truly safe here, whether anyone was treating me poorly."I'll buy all your flowers today. How about closing early and taking a day off?"I smiled back, genuinely happy to see a familiar face."That's not necessary, but I can give you one of my favorite moonflowers."I reached for the pale blue blooms that re

    Marcus was kicked to the ground, his body hitting the dirt beside my gravestone with a dull thud.He lay there crawling for a long time, his expensive suit torn and stained with mud and blood.His hands clawed at the grass, leaving gouges in the earth like an animal in pain.Then he slowly lifted his head, his face a mess of tears, snot, and dirt."Neil... you're my most trusted Beta, my best brother..."His voice was hoarse and broken, barely recognizable."But you don't understand..."He wiped his nose with the back of his hand, leaving a streak of blood across his cheek."She had a child before, so I thought... it wasn't fair..."The words came out in a choked whisper, as if saying them out loud made them real.Neil's pupils dilated in shock, his entire body going rigid."Scarlett had a child?"His voice cracked on the last word, disbelief and horror warring in his expression."When? How? That's impossible!"Marcus nodded painfully, his head hanging like a broken doll."Celeste even

    The bracelet was still intact, its blue stones somehow undamaged by the flames.This was the bracelet his deceased mother had personally placed on my wrist after our mating ceremony.The family heirloom passed down through generations of Luna females.One of a kind in the world, irreplaceable."Hehe..."He suddenly laughed, a broken sound that made Neil flinch.He reached out and grabbed that burned black hand, his fingers intertwining with charred bone."Scarlett, let's not sign that stupid agreement, okay?"His voice was conversational, as if talking to a living person."Ah... yes, yes. I'll tear it up right now.""Let me tell you a secret."He leaned closer to the corpse, whispering like a guilty child."That Celeste, I only slept with her because I got drunk during pack business at the Silver Moon territory.""It was supposed to be a one-night mistake. Nothing more.""That night she went through my phone while I was passed out and found your messages.""When she learned I was an Al

    "Impossible!" Marcus's eyes blazed with fury, his Alpha power crackling through the air like electricity.The very walls seemed to vibrate with his rage."You're working with Scarlett to trick me, aren't you?"His voice rose to a roar that made the windows rattle."This is some elaborate scheme! She's trying to manipulate me into feeling guilty!""She was fine when we left. How could this happen..."His words came out in a rush, denial and panic warring in his voice.His hands shook violently as he pulled out his phone and opened the home security app.The screen showed empty rooms, bare walls where her paintings used to hang.Her favorite chair sat vacant. Her coffee mug was gone from the kitchen counter.The house was empty of my belongings, quiet and eerily vacant.Every trace of me had been methodically removed.Marcus stared at the footage, his face going pale as the reality began to sink in."No... no, this can't be right. She was just upset about the agreement..."Marcus seemed
