Ethan stopped in his tracks.

I turned to look.

Sarah, who had been about to kiss Damien, paused in surprise, then smiled gently.

"Damien, what's wrong?"

Damien gave her an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry, Sarah. There's something important I need to confirm right now."

Sarah's expression instantly darkened, though she didn't lose her temper and continued to smile sweetly.

"What is it? Do you need me to come with you?"

"No need. I'll be back soon."

Damien turned, pulled off his white gloves, and ran toward Ethan.

"I'm coming with you to Emily's funeral. I want to see if she's really dead."

He clearly still didn't believe I had actually died.

Ethan gave him a long, meaningful look.

"Fine."

I floated out the door alongside Ethan, glancing back one last time.

What I saw was Sarah's darkened face and the shocked expressions of all the guests.

My funeral was being held at the pack's sacred grounds.

My parents and loved ones all wore expressions of deep sorrow.

    I couldn't believe my eyes, and I felt an unexpected pang of sympathy for Damien's delusion.He saw Sarah as perfect, constantly thinking about her, sacrificing everything for her.Yet behind his back, she had been so promiscuous, so careless with the love he thought they shared.Ethan gathered the photos, his expression hardening with resolve. "With these photos, I don't believe Damien can still love her. No wolf with any pride could."Hatred filled Ethan's eyes, a cold determination I'd rarely seen in my gentle friend."Emily, it was because she returned to the pack that Damien dissolved your mate bond, and now he wants to take the pack you left behind. I won't let her get away with this."He carefully returned the photos to their envelope. "From the day she returned to the pack, I hired a detective to investigate her. I had a feeling about her. I want to see her disgraced, humiliated as she humiliated you."His loyalty was overwhelming. Even in my death, he fought for my honor.I lo

    Damien's voice boomed with Alpha authority as he grabbed Sarah's arm mid-swing. The command vibrated through the air, heavy with power."You're at a gravesite," he hissed at her. "Show some respect."Sarah flinched at his tone but didn't lower her gaze in submission.Damien turned to Ethan, his voice softening slightly. "Ethan, I didn't come here to fight with you. I must take Emily's ashes." His expression held a hint of pleading. "We were mates for years. I want to find a proper temple to honor her as compensation for all the good she did for me over the years."His words rang hollow to me. Too little, too late."That won't be necessary," Ethan said coldly, crossing his arms over his chest. His stance was protective, positioning himself between my grave and Damien."Damien, for the sake of our brotherhood, take Sarah and leave immediately, or I'll notify the Pack Council." His voice hardened further. "This is desecration of a sacred site. You know the laws."He stepped closer, loweri

    "Marrying a man who doesn't love you at all—could you be any more pathetic?""You think being nice to me will make me forgive you? Keep dreaming!""Emily, every time I see you, I feel disgusted."My friends all urged me to dissolve our mate bond.I just smiled.Since I had already married him, I wasn't going to let go.I fantasized that one day he would accept me, fall in love with me, and we would spend the second half of our lives in sweet happiness.But Sarah's return to the pack turned my dreams to dust.Losing my wolf after the pack war was the final straw that broke me.I chose to let go!My deteriorating body and exhausted heart wouldn't allow me to struggle anymore.But why did he come to torment me now?He had always seen me as his enemy. Shouldn't he be happy about my death?I only hoped to never see him again and to enter the cycle of rebirth soon.That evening, Ethan packed his belongings and moved into the pack's administrative building.I had an independent resting area o

    Sarah shot Ethan a venomous glare before turning to follow Damien.Finally, it was over.I watched Damien's retreating figure.We would never meet again.My parents approached Ethan."Thank goodness you were here, or Emily wouldn't have had a peaceful passing today."Ethan's smile was strained."It was the least I could do."After my funeral ended, my parents specifically asked Ethan to stay behind."Ethan, with Emily gone, we no longer have the heart to manage pack affairs. We'd like to entrust the pack to your leadership."Ethan was startled and quickly refused."I can't do it. I am not a member of your pack. "My father smiled gently."You were Emily's best friend, and you're incredibly strong. Emily trusted you, so we trust you too.""Besides, managing the pack doesn't mean you have to handle everything personally. You just need to set the overall direction. I believe you won't disappoint us, or Emily."Ethan looked at my headstone and gritted his teeth."Alright, I accept."I comp

    Damien froze, then frowned. "Emily's funeral? Ethan, what are you talking about?""I get it now. Did Emily put you up to this? Where is she? Tell her to come here. Does she think ruining my ceremony is amusing?"Damien grew increasingly angry with each word.Ethan shook his head. "She can't come.""What do you mean she can't come? I'm calling her right now."Damien pulled out his phone.Sarah walked over."Damien, what's happening?"She glanced at Ethan with a frown."Isn't he your best friend? Why is he dressed like this for our marking ceremony?"Damien gave her an apologetic look."I'm sorry, he's just trying to play a joke on me. It's gone too far, and I've already scolded him."Sarah snorted."There's a time and place for jokes. Since you've already spoken to him, I won't say anything more.""The ceremony is about to begin. I'll head over first.""Alright."Damien watched Sarah leave, then turned to face Ethan."I don't know what Emily is planning, but you can tell her that whatev
