"Seli, I have an important task that needs to be dealt with immediately. The wedding... should be rescheduled.""What did you say?"After Williams said this, my mouth opened a little!The biggest banquet hall in Shadow pack was behind us. In just less than an hour, we were supposed to enter the hall together, holding hands, to celebrate our wedding.However, at this very moment, Williams announced his decision to reschedule the ceremony .The initial happiness on my face vanished and turned slightly pale. I put up a facade of composure and spoke."Are you alright? The wedding will begin in less than an hour. No matter what matters you may have, simply wait till the wedding concludes, and then we can address them."Williams quickly glanced at the wedding reception venue situated behind me through the window, his deep eyes fixated on me with a sense of slight urgency."I can't do it right now as I have a pressing matter at hand. If the wedding rescheduled in two days is not bad."Following his statement, he abruptly turned away and left, displaying signs of haste."Are you kidding? How is that not bad?"I instinctively held onto his sleeve without wanting to release him.If he leaves in such a manner, how will my family's reputation be affected in front of the pack members?"Williams, we are mate! Is there anything that holds greater importance than our wedding?"I gazed at him with eyes that were wide, unclouded, and sparkling like stars."You can't simply leave in the midst of our wedding like this. It's only fair that you offer me an explanation at the very least!"He glanced at me with a hint of embarrassment and remained silent for a brief moment. Subsequently, he parted his slender lips and uttered a sentence.""Vera needs me right now..."Vera?As soon as I heard this name, a freezing sensation enveloped my heart and quickly extended to my entire body."Vera needs you? Dammit Williams, it's our wedding..."My grip on his sleeve weakened as my hand became feeble.William once had a girlfriend when he was in college.I don’t know what happened later, but this young love ended with Vera moving out of the pack and staying in the Capital.I clenched my fists tightly. It never crossed my mind that Williams would leave our wedding and leave me on the day of our weeding due to his previous relationship.When Williams saw that i was silent, he brushed my hand away and turned towards the elevator, walking quickly without any hesitation.My eyes turned red instantly, and i felt that my throat was blocked and uncomfortable.My Wolf Meeka had remained silent throughout all of this but I could feel the fury coursing through her..My wolf is furious and so am I.."William Cobbler..."I unexpectedly spoke just as he was about to reach the elevator.As I looked down and caught sight of him, my eyes were already transformed into a mesmerizing combination of white fur and blue eyes, but i tried my best to restrain my wolf from taking over.I lightly opened my lips that had been painted with red lipstick."Our wedding is about to start, you can wait for the wedding to end...""Seli, don't you understand? The wedding for today has been called off,"William impatience interrupted me."Something happened to Vera. She is alone in the Capital now. I have to go."I felt a strong trembling in my heart, and I couldn't utter the remaining words as they got stuck in my throat.Seeing him eager to find Vera, my thick eyelashes trembled.After a few seconds of silence, when he was about to enter the elevator, a clear voice rang out."You have to reject me first before you leave."Upon hearing what I said, William turned around, and a frown appeared on his face.when he looked back at me, his eyes were a little more thoughtful and impatient, as if he were looking at an insane girl."Seli, stop making trouble. I'll be back soon after I finish handling Vera's matter, and I will organize another grand ceremony for....."This time, i didn't wait for him to finish speaking, "If you go find her now, then we are done."My slightly voice was firm and decisive.Although I like him as my mate and am happy to marry him, it doesn't mean that he can ignore our wedding..Respect for others cannot be subordinated to love or mate bond."When I return, we can discuss all topics.""No need for that." I gulped and then continued, "I Selena Habsburg, the offspring of the Habsburg lineage of the Shadow pack, hereby reject..."Before I could finish my statement, William glanced at me with an icy eyes."Seli, you do not have the right to reject me! When I return, we will have a discussion about everything."He entered the elevator confidently after speaking those words, then he pressed the button to close the door, as I observed the elevator door gradually shutting.I watched as he left, my heart filled with conflicting emotions.Tears welled up in my eyes and trickled down, clinging to my pale and flawless complexion, appearing like tiny clear droplets.A lady dressed in a black gown emerged from the opened door of the wedding banquet hall.She had applied a thick layer of foundation to hide the wrinkles on her face.Her gaze held a touch of contempt as she asked, "Where is Williams?"I looked down and whispered softly, "He just left."Evelyn, the mother of William, was taken aback, and just as she was about to respond, I whispered."He went in search of Vera..."When the woman heard the name, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she did not experience any guilt. She said in a patronizing manner."How foolish are you? You failed to keep your mate on your wedding day. You allowed him to go to another woman.."The lady behind Evelyn was dressed in an elegant silk red dress.She sneered upon hearing what I said."You have no educational qualifications, and you have no beauty. You are in no way comparable to Vera. Undoubtedly, my brother deserves someone better."Abigail was the one speaking, and she happened to be the sister of Williams.My eyes, which were once lowered, suddenly lifted, and the haze in my vision dissipated greatly.This was because my fair complexion accentuated the darkness of my eyes, and my lips, painted in a shade of red, were slightly parted."You don't have to worry... we are not together anymore," I reassured."What?" came the bewildered response."I rejected him," I stated firmly.I locked eyes with Evelyn and repeated my words verbatim...In an instant, Evelyn's face darkened, and she spoke in a sinister tone..."You heartless person... How dare you reject my son... Your grandmother raised you without..."Before she could finish her sentence, my expression suddenly transformed.My voice turned cold."Watch your words, say whatever you want to say to me, but don't involve my grandma."I have been under my grandma's care since I was a child, and she is everything to me.Evelyn and Abigail were taken aback by my sudden assertiveness.Abigail, with an air of arrogance, retorted, "You despicable person... how dare you speak to my mother in such a manner..."As she said that, she unexpectedly reached out and shoved my shoulder.I was wearing a designer white wedding gown, and my high heels which was high was caught off guard, I lost my balance and fell backwards...Epilogue"My baby... Roo!"Selena was crying nonstop, and since this was a first for them, Rufus was at a loss for what to do.Is the baby already coming? Should i take her to the pack clinic by now?Selena stood there, legs apart, as if she was hesitant to let anyone near her."Selly... Come here. Come here," Roo said softly, moving closer and wrapping his arms around her."Rufus...!""Lillian, go get the pack doctor!" Rufus shouted, and Lillian rushed out to find help.Meanwhile, Selena continued to cry, tugging at Rufus's shirt, and suddenly, a sharp pain hit her like menstrual cramps, causing her to scream in agony."Argh!!!!"She clutched Rufus's shirt tightly, her nails digging into his chest."Rufus! It hurts. Moon goddess, please...!"Ignoring the pain she was causing him, Rufus quickly scooped her up, her weight not bothering him as he dashed into the room."This way, doctor."Lillian returned with one of the pack doctors.The doctor rushed in, ready to help."I'm so scared,"
Writer's POVThree Days LaterSelena let out a big yawn as she stretched her tired limbs. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and found Rufus staring right at her."You're awake! How are you feeling? Should I whip up some food for you, or do you want to freshen up first?" Rufus bombarded her with questions, leaving Selena unsure of how to respond.She closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead, feeling overwhelmed by everything he was asking.Selena exhaled deeply. "What actually happened? I can't remember anything..."Rufus settled on the edge of the bed, took her hand, and gently tapped the back of her palm. "Sweetheart, it's been three days since you fainted.""What?" Selena interrupted, her eyes going wide in disbelief."Shh! That’s not all," Rufus continued. "The pack doctor said you fainted because you’re pregnant... Defeating Nireus took a lot out of you."Selena blinked rapidly, as if she had just seen a ghost. "Pregnant? Defeat Nireus?!""Yes! You're pregnant!" Rufus said excitedly
Writer's POV "I get that you have every reason to doubt me, but you really need to believe me. It’s only a matter of hours before Nireus and his men show up here," Issa said, locking eyes with Lillian. Both Lillian and Issa were trying hard to keep their feelings in check, but their eyes revealed a lot. "That’s not going to happen. There’s a barrier that keeps out anyone with bad intentions," Davies said, his teeth clenched. He hesitated for a moment, as if recalling something important. "But how did you…" "It’s because I came here peacefully and mean no harm," Issa interrupted, cutting off Davies. "You have to believe me, Lillian. Nireus has witches who can break that barrier," Issa insisted, her gaze still fixed on Lillian. Lillian took a deep breath and muttered, "Come with me..." "Lillian, I know she’s your aunt, but you don’t have to trust her..." "She’s not my aunt, Davies. Just go back to the border," Lillian replied, her voice tense. "I’m not leaving you with her," D
Issa's POV As soon as I was out of Nireus' sight, I picked up my pace. Once I exited the big hall, I hurried to the horse stable. I glanced back to ensure no one was tailing me before I approached one of the horses and released it from its stall. "Let’s go..." I murmured as I mounted the horse.This was the first time in years that I had stepped outside the Red clan's territory, or maybe even out of Nireus' cage.Luckily, it was slightly bright. Maybe 2Am or 3AM.I had nearly forgotten how stunning it was out here.I gripped the reins tightly, racing past the trees and various clans.Before I left the Red clan, I had cast a spell on every path I took. It would be tough for Nireus to track me down.I looked up at the sky, catching a last glimpse of the stars as it slipped behind the clouds. The day was getting so bright,, and I was running out of time.Only a few hours remained unti the day finally brighten very welll, and I needed to find Lillian or the council of Werewolves to pr
Writer's POVMyrine looked absolutely stunning in her pink and creamy white dress. When she spotted Issa and Lord Nireus approaching, she paused her conversation with the other two and happily walked over to greet them.She wrapped her arms around Issa, exclaiming, "Issa, it’s so wonderful to have you back!"The two people Myrine had been talking to introduced themselves as Dares and his brother Chares. They seemed a bit distant and quickly found an excuse to leave."Greetings to you, my Lord." Myrine said before turning her attention back to Issa. "I noticed you were just chatting with Kleopatra and her husband," she said, fiddling with the beautiful heart-shaped pendant around her neck, "I’m sure you remember who her husband is, right?""Of course I remember Aeson. I was only gone for a few years. My memory is still sharp," Issa replied with a shrug and a smile."I knew you would," Myrine laughed."They're here.""The rogue vampires and werewolves are here!" the crowd suddenly shout
Writer's POV Lord Nireus stood by his window, a glass of wine in hand, staring at the sky before his attention shifted to his wardrobe. "Come on, Issa," he said softly, tapping the wine glass with his finger.As if responding to his call, the wardrobe began to shake violently."Bless Lucifer," he whispered, a grin spreading across his face."Coming!" he nearly shouted, quickly placing the wine glass on the table. With a flick of his fingers, the wardrobe swung to the side.Taking a deep breath, Lord Nireus rubbed his palms together and pressed them against the wall, squeezing his eyes shut.Suddenly, the wall cracked open and swung back, and with a loud thud, a woman in that is naked tumbled out."Oh, my dearest Issa! It’s wonderful to have you back. Together, we shall rule the universe!" Lord Nireus exclaimed, crouching beside her and gently caressing her face.Though Issa looked pale and weak, she managed a faint smile at his words.Seeing him after so many years only made Issa wa
