Chapter 4

Penulis: Scarlett Flame
On the day Adrian and I had agreed to discuss the marking ceremony, even the Alpha of Conner pack had shown up.

Conner pack's Alpha, Robert Conner, was the only person who knew my true identity.

Unexpectedly, Adrian rose sharply and confronted me as soon as I saw him.

"Why do you keep bullying Flora? What exactly did you say to her? She's been crying for days! Apologize to her right now in front of everyone!"

I inwardly mocked Adrian's stupidity for making his fiancée apologize to another woman in front of so many pack elders.

Upon seeing that I remained unmoved, he grabbed my shoulders. Then, he leaned close to my ear and threatened in a low voice, "If you don't apologize to Flora, I will cancel the marking ceremony!

"What do you think people will say when you give birth to a pup out of wedlock? Who else would want you when you're pregnant?"

Adrian was incredibly stupid. He hadn't even noticed that my once slightly swollen belly was now flat.

I smiled at him and said, "Adrian, I won't cancel the marking ceremony, but I can change who marks me!"

Adrian's pupils constricted, but it was Alpha Robert who had the strongest reaction. He slapped Adrian across the face and scolded him, "You fool! Apologize to Sophia immediately!"

Adrian always assumed that I came from a small pack. What he didn't know was that I was the daughter of the Alpha King, and that the Conner pack's strength was beneath that of my family's Ulfrheim pack.

I had fallen in love with him at first sight before and had hidden my identity to be with him for the sake of love. It was Conner pack's current Alpha who recognized my identity and only promoted Adrian out of respect for me. After that, Adrian gradually began to look down on my status.

In reality, whoever I married would be the one to inherit Conner pack.

Just then, Adrian's parents broke their silence and immediately stood up to assure me, saying, "This is all our fault. We failed to discipline him properly. Please give Adrian another chance. I'll make sure he cuts off all contact with that other woman immediately!"

What Alpha Robert had just said appeared to be a scolding of Adrian on the surface, but it was actually a thinly veiled attempt to persuade me to continue my relationship with him.

In the end, they only valued the benefits my status could bring to their pack. I knew that even if I didn't agree to it then, they would just continuously force Adrian to beg for my forgiveness.

"Forget it. My fate with Adrian has run its course," I spat.

Alpha Robert pleaded, "Please don't give up on the marriage alliance with Conner pack."

"Who said I was giving anything up?" I raised an eyebrow and said, "I've already chosen my new fiancé within Conner pack."

"A new fiancé? How funny. You've been ruined by me! If they found out you're carrying my pup, I'd sure like to see who'd still want you!" Adrian sneered.

Suddenly, the door opened, and a tall, muscular man walked in. His powerful air instantly swept through the room.

The man behind me was Adrian's half-brother, Blaise Conner. He and Adrian shared the same father but had different mothers.

Blaise wrapped his arm around my waist in a protective gesture. "Adrian, show some respect to your sister-in-law."

  • Heartbroken No More   Chapter 9

    I gradually adapted to life with Blaise's companionship. Like me, he enjoyed traveling and yearned for freedom. So, we often went traveling together.I finally let go of my emotional barriers when Blaise proposed to me again on a snowy mountain. I agreed to seriously try having a relationship with him.Life was peaceful for a while. However, after returning home from another trip, I found Adrian standing at my door. He became visibly excited upon seeing me. "Sophia, you're finally back. I've been waiting here for days. When did you change your password?" he said.I coldly stared at him, as if I was looking at a stranger. "Our relationship had ended for quite some time. Why would I still keep the same password?"Adrian's eyes began to moisten as he said, "Sophia, let's get back together. I've completely broken things off with Flora. I'll give you the grandest marking ceremony!"I know you terminated our pup because you were angry. I don't blame you for it. We'll have many more

    "Adrian, have some self-awareness. Even if I remained alone for the rest of my life, I'd never hold a marking ceremony with you," I coldly mocked as I pried his hands away."I can't wait to be rid of you. You make me feel sick every time you appear before me! Stay away from me in the future—both of you. Or I'll beat you up every time I see you!"Flora grabbed Adrian, trying to drag him away. However, Adrian shook off her hand in one swift motion and tried to continue harassing me."I said let her go!" Blaise landed a punch on Adrian's face. Then, he shifted and tackled Adrian to the ground.Adrian was no match for Blaise. Even though he quickly shifted into a wolf as well, he remained at Blaise's mercy. Meanwhile, Flora, that useless woman, just stood by screaming.Soon Adrian was lying injured on the ground while Blaise looked down at him from above. He warned, "Stay away from my fiancée from now on."Adrian spat out a mouthful of blood and suddenly laughed. "Blaise, you proba

    Adrian heard his own voice coming from the phone, saying, "I'm marking Sophia purely out of responsibility. Even if I mark her, I'll still put you first."His face instantly turned frantic as he stammered, "No! That's not what I meant."Flora was crying and asking if I'd ever speak to her again after marking you. In my heart, Flora's just like a young, naive girl-next-door. I only said those things to comfort her."Just then, I caught a glimpse of a figure and met a venomous gaze from the corner of my eye. I curved my lips slightly and deliberately slowed my voice."Really? But if we held the marking ceremony, you truly wouldn't be able to associate with Flora anymore. If being with me meant abandoning her, would you really be willing to do that?"Adrian froze and hesitated for a moment.In my previous life, he had killed me with his own hands to avenge Flora. So. I was truly looking forward to Adrian's choice in this life.He exclaimed, "Of course I'm willing! Even if Flora has

  • Heartbroken No More   Chapter 6

    I'd met Blaise in the southern hemisphere. I was there chasing the southern lights, but I got lost because I'd been so captivated by them.While searching for the route back to my hotel, I encountered Blaise, who had also come to see the southern lights. My heart skipped a beat when I saw his familiar face. For a moment, I'd even thought that Adrian had followed me there. But I quickly realized I had mistaken him for someone else. After all, Blaise was more steady and profound than Adrian.Yet, his face made me wonder about his relationship with Adrian. After we spent a month together and gradually developed feelings for each other, I hesitantly asked him about his connection to Adrian.Only then did I discover that Adrian actually had a half-brother from the same father but different mother. Blaise was also surprised that such a coincidence could exist in the world.I confessed to him that I had almost held a marking ceremony with Adrian and had even carried his pup. Blaise on

    "You're just a bastard! What right do you have to challenge me?" Adrian scowled. Then, he suddenly shifted and threw a fierce punch at Blaise. Blaise naturally refused to back down and dodged the blow before counterattacking.Chaos instantly erupted in the private room. Meanwhile, I quietly retreated to a corner. I had no intention of helping either of them.After having spent a month with Blaise, I knew his abilities surpassed Adrian's, so I wasn't worried at all about him losing to Adrian. Only when Alpha Robert intervened by restraining Adrian did Blaise withdraw and return to my side.Upon seeing the scratch on Blaise's face, my expression immediately darkened. "Adrian, what the hell is wrong with you?"You were the one who constantly asked to cancel the marking ceremony, and I've finally agreed. Now, how dare you assault my fiancé?"My words further provoked Adrian. Blaise was Adrian's half-brother from the same father but different mother. When their father was young

    I lay in the hospital as the healer repeatedly questioned me. In the end, I decided to keep the pup in my belly. I couldn't bring myself to be a cruel mother even though I'd been reborned. I simply made up my mind to take my unborn pup and leave Adrian. Just then, I received a call from him."Don't take Flora's Twitter posts to heart. I'm taking her to see the meteor shower, so I'll be home late tonight."Before I could say anything, he hung up, giving me no chance to object. After that, Flora's messages kept coming non-stop all night long."Today's the Moon Goddess Festival. So many couples have planned to watch the meteor shower together. It's a shame you have no one to keep you company."Adrian doesn't love you at all. Otherwise, why would he choose me over you today and for the trip?"Even if he marks you, so what? I'll always be the most important person in his heart. He only wants you as his mate out of responsibility for the pup in your belly."Adrian says that in ev

  • Heartbroken No More   Chapter 2

    "I've had enough of you both anyway!"These weren't words spoken in anger. Just thinking about how I died in my previous life made my whole body tremble.Adrian and Flora had known each other longer than I'd known either of them. When I'd gotten together with Adrian, I had no idea he had a childhood friend waiting in the wings.When I first learned of Flora's existence, I'd asked Adrian to make a clean break with her. However, he insisted that he only saw Flora as a younger sister and claimed that there were no romantic feelings between them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been with me.Yet time and again, Adrian used Flora's young age as an excuse and even asked me to look after her. Whenever I grew jealous or angry, he accused me of being immature.This time, Adrian tried to detect jealousy in my eyes, preparing to lecture me again. But instead, what he saw was resolution, and for a moment, panic flashed across his face.Just as he reached out to explain himself, Flora suddenly co

  • Heartbroken No More   Chapter 1

    "Flora has never been to the northern hemisphere to see the northern lights. What's wrong with letting her come with us?"Can you stop being so petty? Flora's personality is much more cheerful than yours. Can't you learn from her?" Adrian Conner's voice was filled with anger.I blankly stared at the furious Adrian and the smug Flora Wooledge beside him. Just then, Flora pouted while tugging at Adrian's sleeve. "It's okay. If Sophia's jealous and doesn't want me to come along, I can go by myself. Don't fight because of me." She appeared understanding on the surface, but her voice gradually became choked up. Adrian immediately glared at me with a dark expression, grabbed her hand, and softly comforted her.Upon seeing that I didn't respond for a long while, Adrian grew more impatient. "Cat got your tongue? I'm warning you, stop targeting Flora. There's nothing going on between us! You're just imagining things!"Adrian's roar confirmed what I already knew—I had been reborn. Everyt
