I stared at that thin slip of paper, my fingers shaking violently, out of control.

Derek stood before me, head bowed low. "Alpha... that night, this is what I was trying to tell you."

Derek swallowed and went on. "After the incident on the ship, a server at the edge of the deck reported hearing the sound of someone going into the water. The security team launched a search at once. At two in the morni

    (Cassian's POV)Hailey's pupils shrank. Her eyes nailed themselves to that half pendant, the color draining from her face in an instant."Cassian... what are you talking about? I don't understand..." Her voice began to shake, and she reached out to touch my arm. "I've had that necklace since I was little, I told you ""Hailey." I cut her off."Are you or are you not the girl who saved me from the fire that year?"Hailey was silent a long time.Then she smiled.Not her usual piteous smile. A cold, sinister one I'd never seen before."So what, Cassian?" She lifted her head, her blue eyes looking straight at me. "She's already dead. What's the point of coming to ask me all this now?"The words drove into my chest like a knife."Where did the necklace come from?" I pressed down the taste of blood rising in my throat and asked her, one word at a time.Hailey wiped the corner of her eye, her tone turning indifferent. "I picked it up. I grew up in Blackthorn, and one day I found a necklace o

    (Cassian's POV)Sera, growing up in Blackthorn. Her mother locked in a quarantine room for over twenty years, never once allowed near.Mocked from childhood by the kids her age: "Your mom has a contagious disease, don't go near her."Abused by her stepmother.Treated by her own father as a redundant burden, even publicly told "Hailey is my only princess."And then her father, this murderer, stood in a hospital corridor, patted my shoulder, sighed, and told me "Sera isn't good enough for you," and, with the face of a loving father, begged me to take good care of his "precious girl" Hailey.I took care of her.I did far more than take care of her!I gave Hailey the master bedroom's bed and drove Sera to the guest room.I pulled the wedding ring off Sera's finger and pressed it into Hailey's palm like a toy to placate a child.And the day Raven was buried?That day, Sera, her eyes red, begged me to come to her mother's funeral with her.I refused. I said I was busy.But I didn't handle an

  • Alpha's Regret: His Deceased Wife Was the Lost Love He'd Sought   Chapter 46 I'm Sorry

    (Cassian's POV)I don't know how long I sat in the car.I shut my eyes in despair, and the moment of her falling kept surfacing. The last thing she saw was that so-called "husband" carrying another woman, turning away without hesitation.Bryan let out a savage howl in the depths of my mind."You killed her. You. You were the one who chose not to turn back. Every single time, you chose to abandon her."After the howl, Bryan unilaterally severed the mental link between us.I tried desperately to call him, to feel that familiar force, but all that answered me was a suffocating dead silence.He refused to speak to me, refused to give any response, refused to shift. He'd given up on me entirely.There was a knock on the car window.Derek hesitated a moment, then took a folded document out of his pocket and set it by my hand."This is the contract," he said, lowering his voice. "The one you had me keep before."Seeing that I didn't speak, he began trying to comfort me. "Alpha, you and she en

After a rushed DNA comparison, we confirmed the deceased was the Luna... was Miss Sera.""I wanted to report it to you right away," Derek said, his head sinking lower. "But you said you didn't want to hear anything about Miss Sera."I stood frozen, my mind blank.Derek paused, his tone turning helpless. "Then Miss Hailey delivered the baby, and the whole pack was up all night celebrating. I couldn't find a

  • Alpha's Regret: His Deceased Wife Was the Lost Love He'd Sought   Chapter 44 The Death Certificate

    (Third-person POV)Julian didn't answer the question head-on. He turned silently back to Sera's bedside and stubbornly kept adjusting the drug ratios.At dusk.Sera struggled her eyes open.Her awareness came and went, blurred.She turned her eyes with effort and saw Julian slumped by the bed. Those always-gentle eyes were horrifyingly bloodshot now, the messy stubble on his jaw longer than the day before.He held a syringe, focused, carefully pushing medication into her IV line.Sera looked weakly at his exhausted face and said, hoarse."Give up... on me."Julian visibly stiffened, but he didn't answer. He only stubbornly lifted the syringe and kept slowly pushing the medicine into the line in silence. His hands were steady, but his eyes had clearly gone red through.In a dim corner of the room, a television had been turned on at some point. Probably the professor had bumped the remote when he rushed in earlier.On the screen, Nightfire's official news channel was broadcasting loudly.

    (Third-person POV)In the hidden reeds along the lakeshore.Julian waited beside the refrigerated truck and lifted his wrist, checking his watch for the third time, agitated.By the planned timing, Sera should have come through the underwater passage and met him a full ten minutes ago.But on the black surface of the water there was nothing but the ripples of the wind.Julian's heart sank to a freezing bottom.He put in an earpiece and connected to the miniature listening device he'd planted on the deck in advance.What came through the earpiece was nothing like the "someone's fallen overboard" chaos of the plan!He even caught several fatal keywords clearly. "Anaphylactic shock!" "Hemorrhage!" "Hailey!"Julian's mind spun.And from the noise of the shouting and cursing, he could tell everyone was firmly accusing Sera of doing it!But where was Sera?!"Damn it!"Julian didn't hesitate even half a second. He tore off the earpiece, didn't even take off his coat, and plunged like an arrow
