Chapter 5

Author: Unordinary Jasmine
Alexander waited from morning till night at the entrance of Moonshadow Academy. He made countless calls to Alice, but every one of them went straight to voicemail. His mind-link attempts vanished into silence as well.

It was evening when he finally scrolled through the pack forum and saw a photo of Alice standing beside another wolf in front of the grand gates of the Royal Wolf Kingdom College of Medicine.

She was smiling so brightly, giving off a kind of happiness he had never once seen on he

    Not long after, Alice approached Alexander's bedside. Her expression was calm. "I came to make things clear. Let's part ways amicably."Alexander had known this was coming. Still, hearing it out loud made it feel like a chunk of his heart had been carved out."From now on, we're strangers."He looked at her and felt like there were a thousand words lodged in his throat. Yet in the end, only one came out. "Okay."A flicker of surprise crossed Alice's eyes. Then, she turned and walked away. After a few steps, she paused but didn't look back."I had a dream. In that dream, we were married for 50 years. You deceived me for 50 years. You swapped my daughter with Anna's, and my real daughter was thrown into a red-light district. Her limbs were broken, and she spent over 20 years begging on the streets."Right before I died, they told me you never loved me, that every bit of your affection had been a lie."Alice paused. "That dream was so long. It went on for so long that I thought I'd

    Alice slammed the door shut mercilessly behind her. Alexander crumpled to the floor as blood slowly dripped onto the tiles.When Sauliel found Alice, she was alone, crouching in a dim corner of the dormitory. His heart ached at the sight. He walked over and gently pulled her into his arms. "It's okay now. I'm here."Alice looked up at him. Her eyes were red-rimmed. Just that single glance was enough to make him feel sorry for her all over again."Did Alexander come looking for you?"She shook her head. "I don't want to attend the networking event anymore. I just want to leave this place.""Okay. We'll head back to the capital."Before returning to the capital, Sauliel brought her out to clear her mind. They strolled along the riverbank, ate street food, and even went bungee jumping. For the first time in a long while, Alice genuinely laughed.When they got back to the dormitory, Alexander was still waiting at the door.Sauliel rolled up his sleeves, ready to throw a punch, bu

    Alexander rushed forward, holding out the necklace. "Alice, it's been a while."Alice looked up at him. Her eyes were utterly placid. "Sorry, I don't accept things from strangers."Alexander trembled. Strangers? His lips quivered. "I know you're still angry. But it's been so long. Shouldn't you be over it by now?"Alice smiled. "Angry? Not at all. We're just fellow students from different academies. That's all."Fellow students. The two words stabbed straight into his heart like blades.Alexander reached out to touch her, but someone blocked him. Sauliel stepped between them and said, "Excuse me, please show some respect.""And who do you think you are? I'm talking to my future mate!"Sauliel adjusted his glasses. "Future mate? You? The line of Alphas pursuing Alice stretches from the school gate all the way to the human district. And you, a guy who can't even brew a simple antidote properly, what right do you have to get close to her? "What even qualifies you to be the future

He picked it up and dialed again, only to find that he'd been blocked. Then, he tried to reach out through the mind-link, but it was severed. Alexander crouched at the academy gate, redialing the number that would never connect, over and over.College freshmen streamed past, whispering among themselves. However, he heard none of it. Only one thought looped endlessly in his mind—Alice had aban

    For the next seven days, Alexander never once visited Alice. He did not send her a mind-link message or even a single text message.Anna, on the other hand, updated Alice on everything they did daily. On the first day, they went to the wishing tree, wrote their wishes on ribbons, and tied them to the branches of the wishing tree together. On the second day, they hiked to the mountaintop to watch the stars and whispered their deepest secrets to each other.On the seventh day, they stood before the Council of Elders and made a binding vow, promising that one day they would return to complete the marking ceremony. Their fingers were interlaced, and both of them smiled so sweetly it hurt to look at them.Alice scrolled through every message with a blank expression. The part of her that had been clinging to Alexander for dear life had finally, completely died inside her.On the eighth day, Alexander's message finally came. "Sorry, Alice. I was tied up with some things for the past f

    At the campsite, Alexander, who was probably feeling guilty, went out of his way to fuss over Alice. He kept bringing her drinks, grilling meat for her, and checking if she needed anything.His friends teased, "Alexander, you're spoiling Alice rotten!"However, all Alexander did was smile.As the evening went on, Anna got drunk. Her cheeks flushed a deep red as she clung to him playfully. "Alexander, you've got to take responsibility for kissing me. Yesterday, you even unhooked my bra…"The whole group fell silent.The skewer of grilled meat slipped from Alice's hand and hit the ground. "Is that true?"Alexander's expression soured. "Alice, hear me out..."However, Alice simply got to her feet and walked away. He chased after her and grabbed her wrist. "Alice, Anna had an asthma attack yesterday. I had to help her unclasp her bra so I could rub her chest to ease her breathing. I swear I kept my eyes closed the whole time. I didn't cheat on you!"Alice let out a laugh, but tea
