When Reese, Alpha of the Blood Moon Wolf Pack, was pursuing me, he always said I was the moonlight that had fallen directly into his territory. I possessed ancestral vampire blood that resurfaced in my generation, leaving me naturally light-sensitive and unable to endure the sun for long. While others checked the temperature before going outside, Reese checked the UV index. He had the highest-grade solar tint installed on his car windows and never let me step out into the daylight without holding an umbrella over my head. While the entire pack marveled at his devotion, he would smile and reply, "She was born deserving the absolute best of everything." That was until he rescued a rogue wolf named Selena during a border patrol and brought her back to live with the pack. She hid my umbrellas and snatched my sun hats, but every time I voiced my grievances, Reese would just gently brush it off. "She doesn't mean any harm. She's just used to running wild out there and likes to play around. Don't take it to heart." So when she invited me up to the glasshouse conservatory to admire the flowers together, I didn't suspect a thing. Until the door locked behind me. Midday sunlight poured through the glass dome, and my skin immediately began to burn and swell. I called desperately for Reese again and again. It wasn't until my tenth call that he finally answered, his voice laced with gentle coaxing. "Just bear with it a little longer, okay? Selena sprained her ankle on the way down, and she's crying her eyes out. I'll be right back up as soon as I help her out. Try moving into the shade for now." Except that the sun was directly overhead, leaving nowhere to hide. I was nearly unconscious from the excruciating pain by the time the door was finally unlocked. As Reese scooped me up in his arms, Selena pouted. "You just spoil her way too much. It was only fifteen minutes. How bad could it actually be?" Reese's hands were trembling as he held me, yet he still made excuses for her. "Alright, that's enough. Fifteen minutes is a long time." Selena giggled. "I bet she'd tan, and you bet she'd stay just as pale no matter what." "So who actually won the bet?" In the end, he won that little wager, but I had already left his territory for good.

The floral exhibition was a resounding success.After that day, I never saw Reese again.The burns on my skin had fully healed, and I neatly packed away the remaining tubes of ointment, tucking them into the very bottom drawer of the cabinet.Word reached me that Reese had resumed his duties as Alpha, but the high-profile cancellation of our pack ceremony had sparked endless controversy. News of how he had favored another woman and mistreated his future mate spread like wildfire, shattering his long-standing reputation as a devoted and responsible leader. Many in the pack lost all respect for him, while the elders openly questioned his capabilities.His position as Alpha was now hanging by a thread.As for Selena, she wasn't banished from the pack. However, the fallout was simply too immense. Someone had eventually exposed how she constantly clung to Reese, making the entire pack realize she was the root cause behind our split. Gossip and scorn followed her everywhere. Unable

The next day, I stood before the doors of the rooftop conservatory once again, design sketches in hand under the bright morning sky.The glass dome reflected vast sheets of blinding white light, but I was fully prepared. I wore my wide-brimmed shade hat, high-protection sunglasses, and light-blocking mask, with my umbrella held firmly.The site crew had already set up a massive canopy for me well in advance. The second they saw me, they rushed over to double-check the setup. "Is the lighting okay at this angle? If it's still too glaring, we can add another layer of blackout tarp right away."I nodded softly. "It's perfect, thank you."No one mocked me for being overly delicate or urged me to just tough it out for a bit.I stepped into the conservatory, where white blossoms bloomed quietly in the shadows, their petals still glistening with morning dew. It suddenly dawned on me then that I hadn't dreamed of that agonizing noon in a very long time.On my way over, a she-wolf from
Walking Away For Good Chapter 9
Reese still hadn't given up and started appearing near my apartment and studio almost daily.That afternoon, Kyle was helping me carry a heavy roll of canvas. Afraid that the sharp edges might scrape my arm, Kyle instinctively reached out to block the side with his hand.Reese, leaning against his car nearby, saw the gesture and charged over, his face thoroughly darkened. "Who is he?"I stopped in my tracks. "A coworker."Kyle looked between the two of us before turning to me. "Do you need me to stay, Fiona?""No, it's fine."Once he secured the canvas, Kyle turned to remind me before leaving, "You still managed to scrape yourself earlier. Don't forget to put medicine on it when you get home."Overhearing this, Reese let out a cold, bitter laugh. "So now, even simple reminders to apply your medicine fall on strangers?"I looked at him calmly. "Did you need something?""How long have you known each other?""That's none of your business.""Fiona, we haven't even been split up
Walking Away For Good Chapter 8
That evening, I spotted Reese standing right outside my apartment door, holding a heavy backpack.It had been nearly a month since I last saw him, and he looked weathered and exhausted, his eyes bloodshot. I wasn't surprised that he had found me. After all, once Selena knew where I lived, it was only a matter of time before she passed the location along to him.I made no move to open the door.Panic flared in his eyes as he scrambled to pull things out of his backpack—specialized ointment, heavy-duty solar patches, and high-protection sunglasses. It was everything I had actually needed. Except I no longer had any desire to open that door for him."Fiona, you're in there, right? I brought you your medicine. The stuff from human hospitals isn't strong enough for your condition, so I brought extra.""Just leave it at the door," I said softly.The shadow outside froze."Fiona, are you still mad at me? Can you please open the door? I just want to see how your wounds are healing."
