Chapter 5

Author: Velvet
A few days later, when Layla still had not come back on her own and had not sent even a single word of explanation, the unease in Seth’s chest grew heavier and heavier. In the end, he finally ordered his Beta to find out where she had gone.

But the news his Beta brought back made his heart drop at once.

Layla had already left Nightfang Pack.

“Left?”

Seth froze for a moment, then let out a cold laugh, disbelief and contempt filling his eyes.

“Where could she possibly go? She’s just hiding on purp

    The moment the guard delivered the message, Silas’s brows drew together.He instinctively held our child closer, his other arm settling firmly around my shoulder.“Do you want to see him?”His voice was low, and he left the choice entirely to me.At first I shook my head. After a brief silence, I gave a small nod.“Some things are better said clearly.”I lifted my eyes and told the guard calmly,“Have him wait outside the iron gate by the garden.”It was through that tall, cold black gate that I saw Seth again.He had grown much thinner. His eyes were sunken, and the exhaustion on his face would not hide. There was something almost obsessive in the way he stood there, as though he had been held together by nothing but sheer refusal to let go.“Layla…”I looked at him quietly. “Seth. It’s been a long time.”“Don’t talk to me like that.” His fingers tightened hard around the bars. “Layla, I know I was wrong. I know it now—I truly do.”“For these past two years, there hasn’t been a single

    Two years later.The afternoon sun spilled across the courtyard as I sat in a wicker chair in the garden, quietly watching Silas a short distance away.He was crouched on the grass, teasing our son.The little one was not even a year old yet. He laughed breathlessly at the wolf-bell in Silas’s hand, his tiny fingers wrapped stubbornly around one of Silas’s.A life this peaceful, this steady, was something I had not even dared imagine two years ago.After leaving Nightfang Pack, I returned with the people my pack had sent for me and formally began my heir training in Starmoon Pack.I had thought what waited for me would be long, unforgiving lessons, and the hard work of learning how to become a worthy future Alpha.I never expected that the first thing the elders would tell me after I returned was this—my pack had already arranged a political mating for me.And the man chosen was Silas, heir to Blackthorn Pack.I remember standing there in stunned silence.Of all people, I had never th

    After Seth was placed under confinement, Ian lost the only protection she had ever relied on.Back then, she had moved freely through Nightfang Pack on the strength of her father’s life debt to Seth. She lived in the finest courtyard, wore the finest dresses, and wherever she went, people gave her deference.She had grown used to being admired. The more she was indulged, the more arrogant she became, until she had long since offended nearly everyone from the barren borderland she originally came from.The elders of Nightfang Pack had always known what kind of person she was. Once Seth lost his standing, they unanimously decided to cast her out.So Ian returned in disgrace to the wasteland settlement where she had once lived.What awaited her there was not sympathy, but scorn from every side.Those who had envied her seized the chance to mock her. Those she had once slighted ridiculed her to her face. Even the nearby residents looked at her with open contempt.“Wasn’t she the one who sa

    “Fake… it’s all fake!”Seth looked like a beast driven into a corner as he seized the nearest thing at hand and hurled it across the room.The wooden cup slammed into the stone wall and shattered instantly.“She’s lying to me!”“She took all her things on purpose. She let those stories spread on purpose. She just wants to force me to bow first. She wants me to admit defeat!”He refused to believe any of it.Layla had loved him for so many years, waited for him for so many years. How could she really leave like that? How could she really decide she wanted nothing from him anymore?And more than that—how could she be the heir of Starmoon Pack? How could she become another man’s Luna?This had to be an act. A lie she had staged to force his hand.Seth clenched his teeth and stormed back to the main fortress, mobilizing every person he could still command and ordering them to track down Layla’s whereabouts at any cost.His Beta had already uncovered the truth in full.Layla was indeed the

She’s just hiding on purpose, trying to force me to lower myself first.”His voice was firm, but something in his chest tightened all the same.That nameless irritation burned through him like wildfire, leaving him too restless to sit still.He got up and stepped out of the healing tent, wanting to clear his head.The evening wind swept over the stone steps, carrying the mixed scent of grass, herbs, and medicine.Not far away, two young maids returning from the main hall were holding baskets of herbs, whispering excited

    Seth had grilled meat for Ian, but for some reason, a faint unease kept creeping into his chest.He kept waiting for Layla to lower her head first, to come apologize to Ian on her own, to do what she had always done before.Ian leaned against the cushioned couch, her voice soft, her face carefully arranged into innocence.“Alpha, are you really not going to see Layla?”Seth’s expression turned cold, a trace of impatience in his voice.“No. Until she admits she was wrong, this matter is not over.”In his eyes, Layla had always known her place.Even when she was hurt, even when her heart ached, she would always come around in the end.She had loved him for so many years, waited for him for so many years. How could she really bear to leave him?But three full days passed, and Layla sent no word at all.She did not come to see him. She did not send anyone with a message. She did not even offer a single explanation.It was as if she had vanished completely from Nightfang Pack.Again and aga
