When I heard Ethan had come, the smiles on both my and Lily's faces instantly vanished.

Given Ethan's abilities since becoming the Shadow Moon Alpha, I wasn't at all surprised he found us so quickly.

I straightened my Silver Crescent heir ceremonial clothing, the silver ornaments jingling as I headed to the village entrance.

Before I even reached the gates, I could hear my pack sisters' taunting voices from a distance:

"So you're the man Autumn chose? You look useless to me."

"Exactly! He doesn't even look strong. I wouldn't give him a second glance."

"Hey, if you were buying him, how many amethysts would you offer?"

"Pfft, amethysts? This type is worth ten common healing crystals at most!"

Ethan's gloomy voice carried over to me:

"A group of women judging men, the world's truly turned upside down!"

"I don't want to argue with you. Go get Autumn."

My sisters didn't appreciate this. "That's rich! Since when are men above being judged?"

    Ethan left that very day.He seemed to have aged several years in just a few hours.Lily learned what happened from me.I asked her, "Do you blame Mommy for not letting you see him one last time?"Lily shook her head, that maturity beyond her years surfacing again."Uncle Ethan wasn't meant to be a father," she said quietly."So, I don't mind."I established a healing crystal business with my sisters, just as I had once done with Ethan.Over the years, I became the new Alpha of Silver Crescent. Our pack gained reputation for high-quality crystals with excellent healing properties, never cheating young or old.Gradually, other packs came to appreciate our goods, opening trade channels with us. Silver Crescent's economic strength steadily rose, wars decreased, and our fighting abilities improved through constant training.I heard news of Ethan again years later, through pack messengers.Apparently, after returning to Shadow Moon, he adamantly refused to complete the Mating Ceremony with

    I almost laughed myself breathless.When I straightened up again, my face was expressionless, my eyes cold as winter:"Ethan Blackwood, you truly disgust me."The man froze, his eyes filled with disbelief. "What... did you say?""I said, Ethan Blackwood, you disgust me!"Ethan grew furious with embarrassment, striding toward me aggressively, only to be pushed back by my sisters' strong arms."I've already apologized to you. What more do you want?" he demanded."You used to..."He didn't finish his sentence, but I understood his meaning perfectly.I stepped out from my sisters' protective circle and slapped Ethan hard across the face.That incredulous expression appeared on his face again.I laughed coldly:"I used to what? Love you so much? Forgive you for anything?""Yes, I did love you deeply once. Enough to leave Silver Crescent for Shadow Moon.""I even continued loving you while watching you and Victoria together.""But Ethan, no one's love is inexhaustible."I tilted my head, loo

    Meanwhile, on the plane heading to Silver Crescent territory, the cabin hummed with whispers.They were saying that Ethan Blackwood had run away from his wedding.Wasn't this the ceremony he had always dreamed of? The one he had prioritized over his own daughter's birthday? The path to power he'd chosen over us?"I heard Ethan Blackwood ran because his ex-girlfriend left him!" one woman whispered to her companion across the aisle, her perfume too strong for my sensitive wolf nose."Wasn't his ex Victoria?" her friend replied, leaning closer. "I always heard she was his true love. He was so heartbroken when she left him that he ran off to Silver Crescent territory.""My cousin works for Shadow Moon's council. She says the engagement ceremony was only halfway done when he just... left.""That's old news!" A third woman. "He had another girlfriend in Silver Crescent, and they even have a daughter together! Apparently, she fled with the child and that's why he's chasing after them!"Beside

    Victoria's eyes widened in shock and hurt. This wasn't the gentle, considerate Ethan who had visited her chambers."To be clear, I never intended to mate with you from the beginning." He held her gaze, making sure she understood the depth of his deception.Victoria struggled, her usually delicate face contorted with rage. The sweet facade dropped completely."Why?" she spat, her own claws extending in defense. "You came to ME! You pursued ME!"Ethan smiled wickedly, a predator toying with prey. "You really have no self-awareness, do you?"His grip tightened slightly. "I only agreed to the Mating Ceremony with you as revenge for you abandoning me for power all those years ago."Victoria's struggle stilled, confusion replacing anger. "What are you talking about?""Before my brother, there was me. Or have you conveniently forgotten?" Ethan's voice dropped to a dangerous whisper. "You chose him because he was next in line for Alpha. And now you've tried the same game again."Realization da

    Ethan got out of his car, straightened his clothes, and put on a poker face. His wolf senses were on high alert, already detecting something off about the atmosphere surrounding the villa.He thought to himself that while he would comfort me, he also needed to make me understand the gravity of my actions. His Alpha instincts demanded he establish boundaries."I'll be gentle but firm," he muttered to himself. "She needs to learn her place."So that in the future, I wouldn't just take our child and run away on a whim. No Alpha's mate should have such freedom, he reasoned, ignoring the voice inside that reminded him I wasn't just any mate—I was a Silver Crescent heir.He pushed open the door, ready to receive me as I fell into his arms. His chest puffed slightly, already rehearsing the magnanimous speech he would give when I inevitably apologized.But the person who looked up at him was Victoria.She was on the verge of tears, her mascara already running down her cheeks in black rivulets.
