My Mate and Family’s Choice Chapter 10
Another month passed. Ulric, Ivy, and Gerald turned the northern territories upside down, searching for me. They never got the slightest bit of news about me. Regret, concern, and despair came down on them. They started to fear the worst—that I was dead. One day, Ivy sat on the couch, shedding tears. Ulric burst through the door and handed his phone to Ivy and Gerald. It was a press feature straight from a business news outlet in the capital of the Werewolf Kingdom. It reported how I took charge of finances, built a thriving herb trade, doubled the treasury's income in no time, and created plenty of jobs.The entire piece sang praises of my sharp business acumen and bold vision.A photo of me was featured in the report. In the picture, I looked polished, professional, and utterly radiant.They were overjoyed to see the photo, yet a strange, indescribable sadness tugged at their hearts. It hit them that I was no longer the she-wolf I used to be. With them out of

Confronted with Ulric’s stony eyes, Maeve panicked. Nevertheless, she was quick to pull herself together and put on a delighted grin. “You’re back, Ulric.” She approached him eagerly and reached out to hold Ulric’s arm. Ulric stepped aside from her grasp. “Drop the act.” His expression was callous. “I’ve looked into everything.” Maeve’s smile froze on her face. Still, she played dumb. “W-What did you look into? Is there some sort of mistake? “Did those senior members of the pack talk trash about me to you?” She shrugged in feigned nonchalance. “Ulric, you’re the Alpha. You should know that those dumb subordinates can’t relate to their leaders’ grand vision.” Ivy and Gerald picked up on something. Furrowing his brows, Gerald turned to Ulric. “What did you find out?” Ulric passed a testimony to Gerald before meeting Maeve’s gaze again. “On the day of the mating ceremony, Isobel passed out after drinking the spiked milk. “You had her dragged into the

Meanwhile, I crossed thousands of miles and settled down in the capital of the Werewolf Kingdom. The Alpha King met with me personally. His gaze held undisguised respect for me. “I sent you an offer long ago, hoping you would come and take over the entire kingdom's financial affairs, but you refused each time for the sake of your family and mate-to-be.”His tone took a softer turn. “I’ve caught wind of what happened back there. “Just forget all the unpleasant things. No one will ever betray or hurt you here.” I stared into his earnest eyes before nodding solemnly, “Thank you. I’ll prove worthy of your trust.” Not wasting a single day, I dove straight into work. I set about expanding the trade of medicinal herbs.Every day, I was kept busy surveying the terrain, identifying the herbs, and negotiating with merchants from all over. Swamped in endless tasks, I worked around the clock with no time to spare a thought for Ulric or my parents. They belonged to a world

Ulric took off. Maeve slumped against the floor, her shoulders shaking from sobbing. She turned to look at Ivy and Gerald on the couch, her eyes speaking of helpless pleas. Ivy pursed her lips with a mix of emotions. “Maeve, it was… wrong of you to speak of Isobel that way earlier.” Still, Maeve’s tear-streaked face was enough to melt Ivy’s heart.Ivy sighed and went over to pick Maeve up from the ground. Maeve buried herself in Ivy’s arms, whimpering sadly. “I’m sorry, Mom. I won’t do it again.“I don’t know what has gotten into me to say something so horrible… When Isobel returns, I’ll apologize to her and ask for her forgiveness.” The tension along Ivy’s and Gerald’s facial lines eased after Maeve uttered those soft, earnest words. Observing her docile behavior, they nodded and convinced themselves to put their doubts to rest. Maeve had always been sweet and sensible. Surely, her outburst occurred in the heat of the moment. Meanwhile, Ulric wandered aimlessly

“Seriously, Isobel is old enough to know better than to pull childish stunts to upset you.” Maeve pursed her lips dismissively. She approached and held Ivy’s arm to offer comfort. “Don’t get worked up, Mom. Give her a few more days. Once things get rough out there, she’ll know how good she has it here. “When the time comes, she’ll be back with her tail between her legs.” However, no one echoed Maeve’s sentiment. The air was eerily still. Ivy stared into blank space on the couch, her eyes vacant. She was haunted by my desperate shrieks, asking why they didn’t care about me, and the shock in my eyes when she smacked the contract right in my face. Her chest tightened as she kicked herself for the harsh things she had said to me. Gerald spaced out in the direction of the front entrance. He recalled whipping me with the thorny branch the moment I stepped through the door. The horrific image of my skin tearing open as the whip landed remained crystal clear in his mind
My Mate and Family’s Choice Chapter 5
Nobody thought about my absence on the day I left. On the contrary, Ivy and Gerald happily brought Maeve along to officially move into the home Ulric and I had shared. Acting like the she-wolf of the house, Maeve filled the living space with her favorite trinkets, erasing traces of my presence bit by bit. During dinner, Ivy took a sip of soup and let out a comfortable sigh. “Even the house feels so much lighter without Isobel around. Without anyone pulling a face and picking a fight all the time, we can be one big, happy family.” Gerald chimed in with a scoff. “Had I known this earlier, I would’ve kicked the ungrateful brat out a long time ago.” Ulric sat at the table, not saying a word. Taking in the blissful picture before him, he must admit that he enjoyed some peace and quiet for a change. Maeve kept her head down, hiding the glee in her eyes. By the time she looked up, she was back to her meek and hurt self. “Mom, Dad, don’t say that about Isobel. She doesn’t
