تسجيل الدخولThe next day, Matteo didn't show up, just as I'd asked.Ella spent quite a while peeking out the window before finally heading outside, looking delighted.But the moment we stepped through the courtyard gate, Laura rushed toward us and grabbed Ella by the throat, her eyes blazing with fury."This is all your fault, you little brat! If it weren't for you, Matteo would have Enzo as his only child, and he'd have no choice but to acknowledge him publicly!" She then turned her furious gaze on me. "And you, Freya! You made up your mind to leave, so why didn't you make sure he couldn't find you? You did it on purpose!" Seeing Ella's face turn red as she struggled to breathe, I desperately tried to reason with Laura."Matteo and I have already talked things through. He's going back soon. Please, let Ella go." I slowly approached her, careful not to provoke her further."I promise you, Ella will never go back to him." I noticed Laura's grip loosen slightly. Seizing the opportunity,
Victor strode through the doorway, his eyes blazing with icy fury. The moment Matteo saw him, he slowly released my wrist, his face contorting in shock. "Victor? What are you doing here?" His shock quickly turned to anger. He lunged forward and grabbed Victor by the collar. "I knew it! It was you! You took Freya away from me! You promised you'd stay away from her!" I turned to Victor, confusion written all over my face. Victor roughly pried Matteo's hand away and replied coldly, "I did promise you that. But I also told you that the moment you betrayed her, I'd be free to take her away."She's made herself perfectly clear. If you keep harassing her, don't expect me to hold back." With that, he took my hand and led me out. I followed him in a daze.Neither of us said a word during the drive home. It wasn't until we reached my front door that I finally snapped out of my daze and confronted him. "Victor, why did you keep this from me?" Victor took a deep breath before
The moment I stepped into the healing center and saw who was lying in the hospital bed, I froze.It was Matteo. His eyes were weary, and his stubble had grown unkempt. The commanding presence that had once made him so intimidating was nowhere to be seen. All that remained was a battered, disheveled Alpha who looked like a Rogue brought to the brink by a devastating blow.The instant he saw me, a flash of overwhelming joy lit up his eyes, and he immediately sat upright."Freya!" I took two steps back and replied coldly, "Alpha Matteo, what are you doing here?"A flicker of pain crossed his eyes."Freya, I'm here to take you and Ella home." I let out a mocking laugh. "Home? We have nothing to do with each other anymore. That place is home to you and Laura." I called over the other healers before turning to leave, but Matteo hurried after me and grabbed my wrist. "Freya, I know I was wrong. I messed up when it came to Laura. I should never have kept things from you. She dru
Winter in Moonvale was mild, nothing like the bitter cold of Frostvale, where icy winds whipped up snow and frost, stinging your face like a blade.This was where Ella and I had settled after arriving. Within half a month, I'd rented a small house with a courtyard, found a job as a healer at the local healing center, and enrolled Ella in a school run by the local wolf pack.Every morning, I'd drop Ella off at school before heading to work at the healing center. After my shift, I'd pick her up, take her home, prepare dinner, and look after our little house. Life was simple and peaceful, and I couldn't have asked for anything more.Ella adjusted to her new life quickly, too. Every day, she'd come home bubbling with stories about all the fun things that had happened at school before running around happily in our little courtyard.There was far more laughter on her face now than there had been back in Frostvale.She never mentioned Matteo again. Perhaps I'd been overthinking thing
The town square was buzzing with Halloween festivities, its streets bathed in the warm, golden glow of jack-o'-lanterns. Everywhere Matteo looked, people in costumes and masks filled the streets.As they made their way through the crowds, Enzo waved a string of ghost-shaped fairy lights in his hands, practically dancing with excitement.Laura walked beside Matteo, smiling as she watched Enzo run ahead. "Matteo, you're so good to Enzo."Matteo didn't respond. His gaze remained fixed on the string of fairy lights in Enzo's hands, his mind filled with thoughts of Ella's little face, marked by hurt, disappointment, and longing.Just yesterday, he had personally snatched those lights away from Ella and given them to Enzo. He had promised to make her another string himself, only to break that promise as well, all because of Enzo.He also remembered last Halloween, when I had insisted that we wear matching couple masks. I'd told him that way, we wouldn't have to worry about our identitie
At that moment, Matteo was at the healing center with Laura, having her burns treated, when a searing pain suddenly ripped through his chest. He clutched his chest and collapsed to his knees. "Freya!"Laura hurried to his side and helped him up, her face etched with concern. "Matteo, are you okay?" He ignored her, pulling away from her hands before rushing back to the estate. The manor gates stood wide open, and the household staff were going about their usual duties as if nothing had happened.Matteo stormed up to the second floor and threw open the bedroom door, only to find that all my belongings had been cleared out of the closet. "Freya! Where are you?" "Ella? I'm home!" No matter how loudly he called, neither of us answered. He finally found a maid in the storage room, sorting through various household items. "Where's the Luna?""Alpha, the Luna left with Ms. Ella," the maid replied. "Where did they go?" "I don't know, Alpha, but I saw her leaving with
