Never Again in My Life

I was hit by a truck while delivering the herb to Charles.The car was crushed, and I was trapped inside with the door jammed shut.Thick smoke billowed outside, choking the air around me.I mind-linked him for help, only to be told that he was busy training the new werewolf firemen. Not wanting him to worry, I calmed my trembling wolf and braced myself to escape on my own. While the fire raged around us, my wolf finally managed to break the door open — but my leg was trapped. I tried again and again to free myself, but it was no use.At my most desperate moment, Charles’s assistant, Leo, arrived with a team of firemen.I accidentally heard their conversation."Charles, Fiona is pregnant! How could you leave her to fend for herself while you take care of Lisa's pup?""Lisa's pup had a fever. She panicked and didn't know what to do. Fiona is different—her wolf is strong, she's experienced. She can handle it—with your help."Those words shattered something in me.Leo let out a frustrated

A week later, I was finally discharged from the infirmary.On the way home, old memories began to flood my mind.I met Charles when my father brought me to his pack for a negotiation.While he was in the meeting, I wandered off into the territory to hunt alone.But I got lost—and worse, I was followed by a group of rogue wolves.Fear gripped me as I faced those feral beasts. I was completely outmatched.Just when I thought it was the end, a massive wolf leapt in front of me and drove them away.It was Charles.I still remember his scent—wild yet comforting—and that powerful, commanding presence.From that moment on, I was drawn to him completely.To my surprise, he fell for me at first sight.He claimed me as his mate soon after, and even held a grand ritual in my honor, under the blessings of the entire pack.I truly believed our happiness would last forever.But fate had other plans.The following year, everything fell apart.On the night of the Full Moon, the entire pack was immerse

As I sat in the backseat of the car, my phone suddenly rang.It was Leo.His voice came through, tight with worry."Fiona, where are you? Charles has been searching for you like a madman these past few days. If he doesn't find you soon, he's going to lose it.""He said he won't ignore you anymore. That he'll listen to everything you say."I looked out the window, watching the trees blur past.When I left our den, Charles thought I was just throwing a tantrum.He believed I'd come crawling back in two days—like always—just to apologize and beg for his attention.But two days passed.And I didn't return.Then he assumed I was waiting for him to beg me.Still, I stayed silent.Only when he realized I had cut off the mind-link and turned off my phone—did panic finally creep into his heart.Desperate, he went to Leo to ask about me.And Leo… was furious.They fought.That's when Charles finally learned the truth—that I had lost our pup in that accident.He broke down.He regretted not be

At first, I thought it was just a joke.But when I arrived at the gate, I saw Charles standing there.He was no longer the strong, proud Alpha I once knew.Now, he looked like a broken man—a lonely wolf, drowning in helplessness.The moment he saw me, his eyes lit up with disbelief and a flicker of desperate hope.He rubbed his eyes, as if afraid I was only an illusion.When our gazes met, I saw the guilt, the regret, the sorrow etched into every line of his face."Fiona… I'm sorry. I made a mistake."But I had already let him go a long time ago.The pain, the heartbreak, the endless waiting—I had buried it all.I let a cold, bitter smile tug at the corner of my lips."Our bond is over, Charles. Don't come looking for me again."I turned to leave—but just then, Leo appeared, running toward us.His eyes briefly met Charles's before he quickly looked away."Let's go," he said softly. "We were still running."But before I could move, Charles suddenly grabbed my arm."Did you reject our bo

Seeing this dramatic scene, I smiled coldly and turned away, leaving them behind—crying and shouting in their own chaos.Three days later, my request to sever the bond was finally approved by the Werewolf Council.When I saw Charles's name signed on the agreement, a wave of relief washed over me.For the first time in so long, I truly smiled.From now on, I would live for myself.Just as I was about to leave, Charles stepped in front of me."Fiona, it's all my fault. Please… can I claim you again?""No," I replied coldly. "What you should do now is take care of Lisa and her pup. Stop bothering me."I turned away without hesitation."Charles, I don't want to see you again."A faint smirk tugged at the corner of my lips.He would reap what he sowed—especially after having a child with Lisa.But then… the truth unraveled.Charles went to the Werewolf Court with Lisa's pup to conduct a DNA test.The results?The pup wasn't his.Lisa had never intended to bear his child.She couldn't stand
