Chapter 7

ผู้เขียน: Rowena Primax
My life gradually went back to normal after Xavier left.

Work was turning routine for me, and the artistic, creative atmosphere here helped me settle down eventually.

If I thought of the past occasionally, I wouldn't feel the pain in my chest anymore. Rather, it was just a sense of calmness instead.

Misty stretched and said casually, "Nessie, you know that this kind of life, where you're focused on your dreams, is what you deserve after all."

Queenie never contacted me at all, and that was expected of her. After all, she had always been the more prideful one, and she was also happily enjoying Xavier's "special treatment" without me. Of course, she wouldn't admit that she was wrong or apologize to me.

One day, however, I received a phone call from an unknown number, and the caller sounded very stern and serious.

"Hello, is this Ms. Vanessa Clawson? This is the police station in the Nightshade pack."

I felt my chest tighten.

"Yes, that's me. What's the matter?"

    My fingers froze for a second. Then, I calmly replied, "Congrats. All the best to you both."There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line. Then, Xavier asked in a rather hopeful voice, "Don't you have anything else to say to me?""People need to be responsible for the choices that they make. I hope that you both truly cherish each other," I said softly.Xavier chuckled quietly, his voice filled with melancholy. "You've already completely let it go."After hanging up, I felt nothing at all. Misty scoffed lightly and said, "He's irrelevant and doesn't deserve to stir up your emotions again."While having dinner with Brian that evening, I briefly mentioned it in passing. Brian looked at me gently and asked in a soft voice, "Do you still feel upset about it?""I haven't felt upset about it for a long time. It's all in the past anyway," I said with a shallow smile on my lips."That's good to hear. There's no need to pay him any heed if he's not worth your attention anym

  • Heart Given, Heart Broken   Chapter 8

    I gathered all the evidence I could and posted it all on my social media.There were photos of me and Xavier over the last eight years and a clearly-marked timeline, proving that all those times Xavier lied to me about there being urgent issues in the pack and standing me up many times had only been excuses for him to go and keep Queenie company.Everything tallied exactly with Queenie's social media posting timings as well.Now that the truth was laid bare, they no longer had any way to defend themselves.Queenie was then labeled as the homewrecker who betrayed her best friend and ruined my relationship with Xavier. Her social media accounts were banned, and the members of the pack avoided her like the plague.Meanwhile, Xavier, who held the core resources in his pack, suffered from a damaged reputation due to his betrayal of his fated mate and his inappropriate behavior. He faced pressure from the pack, lost control of his familial affairs, and even faced the prospect of being s

    In my second week at Nightshade pack, I was officially integrated with the studio's senior creative design team, focusing on royal commissions and limited-edition designs.I drowned myself in endless drafting and refining every day so that work would numb and heal my wounds.Misty was with me every step of the way."Nessie, you are worthy of all these sparkling jewels and precious stones. Don't get distracted by people not worth your time."However, Xavier still flew all the way here for me.He was the Alpha of the Shadow pack, but he had lost his noble composure by the time I saw him again.There was dirty stubble around his face, his eyes were sunken, and he looked a sorry, desolate sight as he stood at the entrance of the jewelry studio, waiting for me."Let's talk, Vanessa," he said, his voice hoarse and almost pleading as he reached out to grab my wrist.I immediately withdrew my hand from his grip, my fingertips as cold as ice."We talk at my place. This is work."I bro

    There was a deathly silence on the other end of the call. I could imagine the panicked expressions on their faces."No, wait, I can explain, Vanessa!"Xavier's urgent voice appeared at once. He had always been the calm and collected one, but now, he sounded absolutely panicked and flustered.I hung up immediately and blocked his number after that.The sky had just turned light outside my window, but it couldn't dispel the chill in my heart.Today was supposed to be the best day of my life.Misty began to whimper softly. "Nessie, they're not worth your tears or sadness. Their lies should have been exposed a long time ago."I inhaled deeply and got up to pack my things. I made sure to throw away everything Xavier gave me in the past, including the keepsakes and gifts from the Shadow pack, our couple keychains, our photos together, and more.It wasn't until then that I realized we never really had much to commemorate our relationship, even though we'd been together for eight years

    Queenie once told me that the diamond ring I gave Xavier was very pretty.So, I had decided to give her another equally sparkling diamond ring for her birthday.The next day, she wore the ring to Xavier's private winery and made sure to include him in the background of the photos she took there, as if she were flaunting some sort of secret possession.Her posting schedule on the Instagram account got more and more frequent as of late.She'd even posted a photo of the two of them secretly holding hands with each other behind my back when the three of us went out together.The night Xavier proposed to me, she had posted another black photo with a caption that read, "I guess I've been waiting for some people for far too long."If he also loves me back, then he should give me an answer as well."She made it.Late that night, she made the first move to kiss Xavier, and he never pushed her away.They promised to go to the beach the night before the mating ceremony to relax and unwin
