When His Favorite Joke Walked Away Chapter 9
The day after my parents left, Rowan obtained a temporary visitor permit and waited for me in Northwatch Pack’s public reception area.He looked exhausted. In his hand was the paper bag I had left behind, still holding the spare key, supplementary bank card, future-mate insignia, and engagement ring.“Claire, give me ten minutes.”I checked the time.“You have eight. I have a meeting at two.”Rowan gave me a bitter smile before finally apologizing in a low voice.“The hair and the white dress were both my fault. I honestly believed they were harmless jokes.”“I know.”My calm response made him freeze.“Then why can’t you give me another chance?”I looked at him.“What finally made me give up on you wasn’t how many times you participated. It was the fact that you knew I wouldn’t leave.”Rowan’s expression slowly changed.“You knew what I treasured and exactly how to make me break down. You dared to tell Lily those things because you believed that no matter how badly I cried, I would eve

A week later, my parents obtained one-day visitor permits for Northwatch Pack and came to see me without warning.After my meeting ended at noon, the receptionist told me that two visitors from Blood Moon Pack were waiting in the public reception area.My mother stood as soon as she saw me, and her eyes quickly reddened.“Claire, why haven’t you answered our calls?”My father stood beside her with a box of pastries from home at his feet.I stopped several steps away.“Why are you here?”My mother froze. No matter what had happened between us in the past, I had never treated them with such distance when we met.My father cleared his throat.“Let’s go to your apartment first.”“My apartment isn’t open to outside visitors.”His expression immediately darkened.“We’re your parents. How can you call us outsiders?”Several researchers happened to walk past, and my father instantly lowered his voice.“Don’t make a scene here. Everyone is watching.”Even after following me all the way to North

On my third day in Northwatch Pack, I officially began working at the Icefield Wolf Core Research Center.The new project had just launched, and the laboratory had been busy since early that morning. I did not leave the testing area until lunch. After hesitating for a moment, one of my colleagues handed me her phone.“Is this you in the video?”The screen was playing footage from Thanksgiving.Lily cut off my long hair from behind, then held it up and laughed. My mother said short hair would save money, my father told me not to ruin dinner over a few strands of hair, and Rowan transferred two hundred dollars to Lily in front of everyone.The video ended on an image of him waving his phone.“I bet it would take you three minutes to cry. I didn’t expect you to lose that fast.”The title read:[She Cut Off the Hair Her Sister Had Grown for Seven Years—and Her Sister Lost It on the Spot.]Lily had uploaded the video to a social platform before our pack link was severed. She probably expect

That evening, Rowan rushed to the Blood Moon Wolf Core Laboratory where I used to work. Only the security guard on duty remained in the entire building.Refusing to give up, he called the head of my department.After hearing why he was calling, the director sounded surprised.“Claire completed her handover yesterday. Didn’t you know?”Rowan tightened his grip on the phone.“When did she apply for the transfer?”“She asked about it at the beginning of the month but never confirmed her decision. On Thanksgiving night, she suddenly accepted Northwatch’s offer. She came in first thing the next morning to complete the handover and said she wanted everything processed as quickly as possible.”Rowan was silent for a moment.“Did she say why?”“I didn’t ask about her personal reasons.” The director paused. “But she has officially joined Northwatch Pack. If you want to speak with her, you should contact her directly.”After the call ended, Rowan stood outside the laboratory for a long time with

My mother was the first to recover.“Call her. Tell her to withdraw the application.”“It can’t be withdrawn.” Rowan’s voice tightened. “The link has already been severed. That means Northwatch Pack has officially accepted her.”Standing nearby, Lily forced a smile.“She’s probably only trying to scare us. Once she calms down, she can transfer back.”As she spoke, she pushed the cardboard box hidden beneath the sideboard farther out of sight with her foot.Inside were the bald cap, neon-green hair dye spray, and phone stand she had prepared for that evening. She had planned to pull the cap over my head when I returned and record my angry reaction.But the beef ribs on the grill had already gone cold, and I still had not appeared.Rowan called me several times, but none of his calls went through. The same thing happened when my parents tried.“She blocked all of us?” my mother finally asked in panic.Lily still refused to believe it and ran toward my bedroom.“I don’t believe she would

On the day I left, the house was even livelier than usual.Lily had been setting up her phone in the living room since early that morning. As soon as I walked past, she placed it facedown on the table.“You can’t look. There’s a second round to tonight’s prank, and this time I’ve prepared an even bigger surprise.”My mother came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of fruit.“Try not to go too far. You really did upset your sister the other day.”Despite her words, she was the first to laugh.Lily waved dismissively.“Don’t worry. Claire never stays angry for more than two days.”My father was sitting on the couch reading the newspaper, and he joined in.“She’s been like that since she was a pup. She once packed a bag and threatened to leave the pack, but she only made it as far as the territory border. As soon as she got hungry, she came home on her own.”Rowan leaned against the dining table with a cup of coffee and glanced at me.“She’s no different now. Where else could she go?”My
