Report
I've developed a fever all of a sudden. But that's when I hear the thoughts belonging to my Alpha mate, Alder Garrison, whom I've bonded to for five years. His voice is husky and attractive, and yet the tone he adapts is very unfamiliar to me. [She's pulling the pity card again. How annoying.] My breath hitches in my chest as I look up at Alder. He's in the middle of pouring me a glass of water, his gaze seemingly gentle beneath the light. His lips aren't moving at all, and yet I'm very sure that I heard his voice just now. When Alder helps me to sit up so that he can feed me the medicine, I purse my lips together before speaking up, albeit hesitantly. "Alpha Alder, I think I'm hearing things all of a sudden. Can you please accompany me to a healer's station tomorrow?" Alder is quick to envelope me into a hug and comfort me. "Shh… I'm here. You'll be fine." But his thoughts sing an entirely different tune. [Ugh… She's doing it again. Can she stop pestering me already?] I no longer utter another word. All I feel is my heart slowly going cold in despair.

His Gentle Voice, His Cruel Thoughts Chapter 9
After the debut exhibition ended, I declined all interview requests from the media and art brokers.I walked out the back exit and stood alone in the quiet alley behind the gallery.Soon, heavy footsteps came from behind me. I didn't need to turn around to know who it was."Maeve." Alder's voice was terrifyingly hoarse.I turned on my heel to face him. "Yes?""Why… didn't you tell me?""Tell you what?" I calmly countered. "That I'm Stardust, and that I created 'Moonfall on Leviathan'?"He pressed his lips into a tight line, and his inner thoughts were a confused, chaotic mess.[I gave her a life free of worries and the prestigious title of Luna of the Noirwood pack! Why would she hide the truth from me?]"Drop the high-and-mighty act, Alder," I said, coldly looking at his face. "Ask yourself—in the last five years, did you ever respect me for even a second?"If you truly saw me as your mate, why did you spend five years turning a blind eye to Danika's provocation and overstep

I never replied to Alder's message. There was no reason to anyway.A week before my debut solo exhibition, I returned to the villa to retrieve what was truly mine.After walking into the master bedroom, I opened a hidden compartment in a closet packed with haute couture gowns, which contained my early, unfinished paintings.Alder had never seen any of these items. Now that I thought about it, I realized he had never shown any interest in my past or passions.When I passed by his study on the second floor, the door was left slightly ajar.He had left his home laptop on, and the screen was frozen on Crescent Gallery's official website. The name in the search bar was Stardust.I paused and stared at it for three long seconds.It dawned on me that Alder was actively looking into Stardust, but it didn't matter to me anymore. He was about to get his answers soon, regardless of what his motives were.As I left the villa, I ran into Danika at the door. She cast me a contemptuous glance

I stayed in the studio for five days.During those five days, Alder never called me once. He didn't even send a single text message.He couldn't even be bothered to keep up the pretense as long as I didn't stand in front of him.To him, my running away from home was just a childish tantrum. He believed that within three days, I would meekly return to the villa to cook his meals.It wasn't until the third day that Randall told me someone was quietly tracking down my address.I didn't have to guess. It was obviously Alder who had finally started looking for me.Of course, it wasn't because he loved me.His completely unguarded inner thoughts had long proven that his current actions had nothing to do with love. It was simply because something he had grown used to controlling had suddenly slipped out of his control.He was like an arrogant aristocrat who never bothered to look twice at a vase in the corner. But the moment the vase vanished, he would instinctively frown and search f

The apartment in Westfield was quiet. When I opened the door, microscopic specks of dust danced in the air. The place was bare aside from an easel and a few pieces of minimalist furniture. But it was the happiest I had felt in five years.I dialed Randall's number. "Send over the new canvases and pigment. I'm officially starting work."An ecstatic shriek erupted over the line. "Oh my Goddess! Do you have any idea how thrilled the director of Crescent Gallery was when he received the confirmation? He nearly lost his mind!"He gave orders to his team overnight. Next month, they'll completely clear out the gallery's grand exhibition hall so it's exclusively reserved for your work!"Leaning against the window, I watched the sky gradually darken. "There's one more thing.""Yes?""Danika Lightwish from Noirwood Enterprise is in charge of securing the license for 'Moonfall on Leviathan.' Has she been reaching out to you for partnership talks?""Yes. Her offers get higher with every e

A week passed, and I had completely reshaped my old habits.When Alder came home, I no longer stood guard by the door waiting for him. I stopped taking his coat, pouring his water, and asking what he wanted to eat. I stopped sending him five texts a day just to receive a simple, dismissive reply.

The moment I decided to stop sacrificing myself for Alder, I enjoyed the easiest morning I had in years.At 6:15 am, the alarm went off.For the past five years, I would have immediately rolled out of bed to brew coffee, cook breakfast, and meticulously organize Alder's daily schedule. But he had

By the third day, the inner thoughts hadn't faded at all. If anything, they grew sharper and clearer.As long as someone came within a few feet of me, their raw, unfiltered thoughts would automatically channel into my brain.When the cashier at the grocery store scanned the items in my shopping ca

I heard that when a wolf loved to the point of madness, they could hear their mate's innermost thoughts. It was a treasure bestowed by the Moon Goddess to deepen the bond between mates.But after being bonded to Alder Garrison, Alpha of the Noirwood pack, for five years, this was the first time I h
