Chapter 4

The sound of sighs and laughter from inside the room made me even more suspicious. Curious about what was going on, I quickly knocked hard on the door.

Soon, the door opened, and Jason stepped out shirtless. He looked nervous when he saw me and hurriedly pulled up the zipper of his pants. His hair was also very messy.

"Jason?"

"Cass, what are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to prepare food for Grace?" Jason asked nervously.

"I'm not feeling well, Alpha. I was just walking around the pack and accidentally heard you laughing from inside the room." I tried to speak calmly, even though my heart felt like it was being ripped apart.

"Oh, that. We were just..."

"Jason was just visiting me. He's worried about me."

Grace suddenly came out, wearing only skimpy clothes that clung to her body.

Just like Jason, Grace's hair was also very messy. I even accidentally noticed kiss marks on her neck and chest.

My eyes burned at the sight. I was sure they must have gone further than just being friends.

However, I had already decided to leave Jason's life. I shouldn't feel angry about what I saw.

"Okay. Sorry if I disturbed you guys. I'll leave now."

I was about to walk away, but Grace's voice stopped me.

"Wait, Luna Cassandra!"

"What's wrong?"

"What's that on your neck? Is that a mark? Well, you're very lucky that Jason has claimed you as his mate and given you the mark."

Grace's words sounded sarcastic, as if she were jealous of me.

"You can also get a mark from Jason if you want. After all, even if I am his Luna, that doesn't necessarily mean I'm his fated mate."

Jason and Grace stared at me with wide eyes after hearing my words. They even looked at each other as if they were confused.

However, this time, it was the red lipstick mark on Jason's chest that caught my attention.

It was the same shade as Grace's lipstick.

My jaw tightened.

My sharp gaze moved between them. I was angry, but I didn't want to show it in front of them. Otherwise, they would think I had been defeated.

"I'm going to take a break. I'll cook for you later."

Carrying the wounds in my heart, I left them and headed back to my room.

Now, I didn't care what they did anymore.

Later, I just wanted to give them a small surprise that would make them happy.

"My silence doesn't mean I've lost!"

---

Tonight, I had finished preparing dinner for Jason, along with his dear friend, of course.

I had also packed all my clothes into my suitcase and was ready to leave.

Since that afternoon, Jason and Grace had gone somewhere. I didn't want to know where they had gone because it was none of my business.

Now, I stood still, staring at the room I had shared with Jason for the past two years.

My tears fell again as I remembered the beautiful and painful memories we had shared in this room.

"Goodbye, Jason. After I leave, I hope we will never meet again, either in this life or the next."

I wiped away my tears.

Before leaving the room, I placed the divorce papers I had secretly obtained from the court on the table without Jason's knowledge.

I had also taken care of my travel papers by secretly using the stamp I had stolen from Jason's workspace. That way, the guards at the pack border would assume that I had received permission from the Alpha.

Next to the divorce papers, I took off the wedding ring Jason had given me.

I also placed a farewell letter that I had written in red ink.

"Goodbye forever, Jason! Don't ever look for me again."

My hand trembled as I closed the door.

Now, I only had to leave for the Silvermoon Pack, which was waiting for me.

Without waiting any longer, I rushed out and drove away at high speed. None of the Nightclaw Pack members were aware of my departure.

I was very grateful for that.

When I crossed the border, I easily passed through after showing a letter bearing the Alpha's seal, making it look as though I had received permission from the Nightclaw Alpha.

I certainly couldn't leave carelessly or without an escort, especially since I was the Luna.

After driving for a while, I finally arrived at the Silvermoon Pack's border.

I smiled as I saw the pack from a distance. The anger, sadness, and disappointment I had carried from the Nightclaw Pack gradually disappeared, replaced by a glimmer of happiness.

"Ah, it's Alaric," I muttered when I saw a man standing at the edge of the pack's border.

I drove my car toward Alaric, who immediately smiled when he saw me.

"Hi, Cassandra. How are you?" Alaric asked as he waved.

"I'm fine, Alpha. Why are you here?"

"I came to pick you up. Let's go to your house."

I nodded and agreed.

Alaric drove his car behind me as if he were my bodyguard.

A sense of happiness began to creep into my heart. I had finally returned to the pack that had raised me since childhood.

All the Silvermoon Pack members welcomed me with joy. They even held a welcome celebration that touched me deeply.

This was the first time in a long while that I truly felt appreciated.

I was swept up in the happy and touching atmosphere. I savored the celebration that had been prepared especially for me.

"Cassandra!"

Suddenly, a man's voice came through my mind link, clear and familiar to my ears.

Jason's voice!
