Chapter 4

Author: Celebrant
Joshua and Charlie were stationed outside Sabrina's hospital room. Their eyes flickered to the door every few seconds, waiting for me to show up and apologize.

But no matter how long they waited, I never appeared.

Joshua's brow furrowed, his expression dark and serious. "Nicole is really getting out of control. She's dragging her feet just to apologize."

Charlie was getting impatient too, and there was a nagging sense that something was off creeping in. "Maybe we should check her room ourselves."

They stormed into my hospital room, only to find it empty.

Panicked, they grabbed a nurse. "Where is the patient in this room?"

The nurse blinked in confusion. "She was discharged this morning."

Charlie's chest tightened, a cold knot of dread forming. He urged Joshua, "Quick, call her."

Just then, Joshua felt a wave of dizziness wash over him. A sharp, relentless pain rose in his chest, hitting him so hard that he collapsed.

    Just as we were about to complete the bonding ceremony, hurried footsteps echoed through the hall.I turned and saw Joshua and Charlie rushing in. Shock was written all over their faces. They clearly had not expected Caleb's Luna to be me.The moment Joshua saw me, his eyes lit up. He called my name, his voice full of excitement. "Nicole. What are you doing here? How did you become Caleb's Luna?"As he spoke, he tried to rush forward, as if he wanted to snatch me away from Caleb.Charlie followed close behind, his face full of concern. "Nicole, how have you been? We've both missed you so much."I looked at them coolly. I felt nothing at all.I stepped away from Joshua's outstretched hand and replied in a flat voice, "I'm doing very well. Thank you for your concern."Joshua froze. He clearly had not expected such coldness from me."Nicole, have you been fooled by him? Come back with me."I shook my head, resolve burning in my eyes. "Joshua, I chose to be with Caleb of my own fr

    Adam and I flew straight through, barely stopping, until we finally reached the academy.He was worried about my injuries, and he didn't even take time to rest. He immediately contacted the best healer from the local pack.After examining my burns, the healer frowned deeply."These are serious. You'll need to apply medication continuously, and you can't let the wound get wet. You must be careful, or it will scar."Under the healer's careful guidance, I began a long and grueling recovery.Every day, I pushed through the pain, repeating the same exhausting movements over and over again. Luckily, I ran into someone unexpected during my recovery. Caleb Judson, the Shadow Pack's Alpha and a senior student one year ahead of me."Nicole, it's been a long time," he said with a warm smile, stepping closer and giving my shoulder a light pat.I blinked in surprise. "Caleb? What are you doing here?""Mr. Smith was worried you won't be able to take care of yourself with your injuries, so

    Sabrina avoided their eyes, still trying to play dumb. "I-I don't know what you're talking about..."Joshua's expression turned terrifyingly dark. He strode forward and flung the aged letter straight at her face."Still pretending? The evidence is right here."The paper sliced across Sabrina's cheek, leaving a red mark. She trembled. She knew she couldn't hide it anymore. She collapsed to the floor and sneered."Yes. I did it. So what? Why does Nicole get all of your affection? What makes her better than me? I wanted everything she had. I wanted to take it all away!"Joshua shook with rage and shouted, "You're cruel, selfish, and utterly shameless! You drove Nicole away!"Sabrina threw her head back and laughed, her voice sharp and shrill."Me? Cruel? What about you two? You're both blind fools who couldn't tell right from wrong. You're the ones who hurt Nicole the most. You're the ones who drove her away, not me."Her words struck deep. Joshua and Charlie's faces turned ashen.

    I froze in place, staring at the two people I had once trusted and depended on most. Suddenly, they felt completely unfamiliar.I didn't argue. I just turned and walked away. Every step felt like walking on knives, each one cutting deeper into my heart.After leaving home, I went to the city hall to submit my application to leave the pack. As I held the paperwork in my hands, a storm of emotions twisted inside me.Just then, a message from Sabrina appeared. She said she wanted to apologize for breaking the ceramic cup and asked to meet me.I hesitated for a moment, but decided to go. I needed to see what she was really up to.When I returned home, only Sabrina was there.Her smile was bright, almost blinding."Nicole, you really have no shame. You were abandoned at the marking ceremony, and you still act like you have any right to be here? Do you really think you're the only one they care about?"She leaned close to my ear, her voice soft but venomous like a snake. "Fine, I'l

    In three days, I could finally leave.I picked up my phone and saw that Sabrina had shared another photo. Joshua was busy caring for her, and the tenderness in his eyes was the same way he used to look at me.Tears blurred my vision.My father had been the old Alpha's driver. He had given his life to save the old Alpha. After he died, Joshua and Charlie's families had taken me in, and I had grown up alongside them.Joshua once held my hand tightly, his gaze unwavering as he said, "Nicole, I'll make you the happiest Luna. I will protect you with everything I have for the rest of your life."Charlie would always ruffle my hair with a smile, sharing the best things he had with me. "Nicole, you're my favorite little sister. I'll always take care of you."But everything changed the moment Sabrina appeared.She had a way of using her orphan status to draw sympathy and attention from everyone. She even cried at my birthday party in front of everyone, claiming she had never been loved.
