Chapter 6

Author: richer
Edward sat in the private room, his fingers unconsciously tapping twice against the tabletop.

When Monica left, she hadn’t even looked back.

He stared at the closed door for several seconds, and a fleeting sense of unease crossed his heart.

“Is Monica okay?” Ron came over and asked.

Edward withdrew his gaze and picked up the glass of juice on the table, taking a sip.

“She’s fine. She’s always like that.”

“Aren’t you going to check on her?”

“What’s there to check on?”

Edward put down his glass, a

  • He Thought I’d Never Leave, Until I Became the Northern Pack’s Herbalist Wolf   Chapter 11

    “You don’t love me anymore?” he asked.I thought for a moment before saying, “Edward, do you remember the Full Moon Festival? You asked me if you could dance the opening dance with Sophia. I didn’t argue or make a scene. I simply stepped aside. You were surprised because you thought I would react the way I always had—get angry, and then forgive you after you coaxed me with a few words.”His lips moved, but he said nothing.“You always said I was jealous over nothing, that I had a terrible temper, that I was domineering and unreasonable. You said I couldn’t live without you, and that even if the sky fell, I would never be the one to ask for a breakup.” I looked into his eyes. “You were right. The old me really couldn’t live without you. I had known you since I was three. You were in every memory I had. I thought that was love, but it was actually just a habit.”“Monica…”“You don’t regret losing me,” I said softly. “You regret losing someone who would always wait for you, always forgive

  • He Thought I’d Never Leave, Until I Became the Northern Pack’s Herbalist Wolf   Chapter 10

    Edward found the Northern Pack in the spring, a year later.Spring came late in the North. The snow had not completely melted yet, and the wind carried a damp chill.That day, I was turning the soil in the herb garden with my apprentices when I heard a commotion at the entrance. A werewolf called out, “herbalist Wolf Monica, someone is here to see you!”I straightened up and brushed the dirt from my hands.Then I saw Edward.He stood in the snow, wearing a trench coat that was clearly too thin for the weather. His face was pale from the cold, and his lips were cracked.He had lost a lot of weight, and his eyes were terribly red, as if he had not slept well in a long time. The Edward who had once been so full of confidence at the Full Moon Festival now looked like a lost traveler.When he saw me, he stopped for a moment before hurrying toward me.“Monica.”His voice was so hoarse that it was almost unrecognizable.I stood where I was without moving.When he reached me, he tried to pull

    She paused, her voice becoming even quieter.“I thought you had feelings for me…”Edward looked at her and suddenly felt irritated.His mind was filled with Monica.Monica’s hand when she handed him his drink.The way Monica lowered her head when she fastened his tie clip for him.And Monica’s back as she walked away without looking back.“Sophia, did you misunderstand something?”“I asked you to have meals with me because the assistance program required me to fill out feedback forms.”“I took walks with you because the pack requires those providing assistance to communicate with their assigned recipients regularly.”He spoke each word slowly.“As for shopping and going to the movies, that’s because Monica wasn’t around and I was bored.”Sophia’s face went completely white.“What did you think there was between us?”Edward continued, his tone growing increasingly impatient.“You know what your family situation is, and you know what mine is. Don’t you?”“The tie clip I casually replaced

    Edward wanted to say no, but his throat felt as though something was blocking it, and no words would come out.His phone was still in his hand.The screen lit up, then went dark.Then lit up again, then went dark.Yet there was still no message from her.“Go ahead and call her.”Edward’s mother took out her phone, found Monica’s number, and dialed.Monica answered.“Please wish Edward a happy birthday for me.”“And tell him…”“This is the last time.”The call ended.Edward’s mother was still holding the phone to her ear, frozen in place.“Mom, what did Monica say?”Seeing his mother’s expression, Edward suddenly had a bad feeling.His mother turned to him, her lips moving slightly.“Monica said… happy birthday.”“She also said this is the last time.”The last time.He stood frozen in place, his mind buzzing.What did she mean by “the last time”?“Impossible!”“Mom, you must have heard her wrong. Call her again!”Edward’s mother looked at him as if she wanted to say something.In the en

    Edward took a selfie and posted another update.That afternoon, he posted another one.It was a photo from his birthday the year before.Monica was in the photo too, standing beside him with a cake in her hands, her eyes curved into a bright smile.Some people commented, “Such a nostalgic photo.”Others said, “Monica is in it too!”Edward didn’t reply.He just wanted Monica to see it.But by evening, Monica’s profile picture remained quietly in his contact list, without a single red notification dot.Edward kept turning his phone over and over in his hands.Finally, he tossed it onto the sofa and leaned heavily back into the cushions.A wave of irritation surged through him.But his pride wouldn’t allow him to lower his head first.He had already given in.He had posted two updates.His meaning couldn’t have been any clearer.If Monica was smart, she should know what to do.If she couldn’t even understand that, then she was doing it deliberately.Edward let out a cold snort.It was fin

If she wants to leave, let her.”His tone was casual, as if he were talking about something completely insignificant.Or perhaps he was saying it to convince himself.Ron opened his mouth, but said nothing more.The private room soon became lively again, with waves of laughter rising one after another.Edward laughed along, chatting with the people beside him and occasionally exchanging a glance with Sophia.But he still felt u
