I stood up, not wanting to hear another word of this disgusting conversation.Seeing that I was about to leave, Eric quickly got up as well, signing anxiously. He was asking what was wrong.I shook my head. "I'm tired. I want to go home and rest."Without waiting for his response, I walked straight out of the private room.As soon as I stepped out of the banquet hall, I saw the plaza used for the Kalmoor Pack's rituals. Right in the center, Eric had arranged candles to spell out, "Alison, marry me!"Passersby who saw it let out envious gasps."Oh my god, I heard that the Alpha's mate is deaf, so he planned this whole proposal just for her.""Mr. Winslowe must really love his mate. He's definitely going to be a great husband after they get married."I smiled bitterly. I would have reacted the same way—convinced of Eric's love, believing he would be a good husband.I was an orphan. When I was a child, I wandered from place to place, and the beatings and abuse from cruel people l

The next day, Eric showed up, holding a bouquet of flowers. As I glanced at the flowers, my eyes were drawn to a few faint red marks peeking out from beneath his collar.How impressive. He could stand before me, covered in marks left by another woman, yet still put on an act of deep devotion.Perhaps it was guilt weighing on him, but Eric had been sticking to me like glue these past few days, refusing to leave my side. Even when I just wanted to step out for some fresh air, he insisted on coming along.As we walked through the marketplace, I spotted Camilla struggling against a man who was grabbing at her.The man, enraged, suddenly picked up a rock from the ground and hurled it at her.In a split second, Eric lunged forward and pulled Camilla tightly into his arms.The rock struck his shoulder. His face darkened, an expression of sheer fury contorting his features. Without hesitation, he grabbed the man by the collar and punched him hard in the face, each blow landing with a sic

Eric couldn't believe that the person lying inside was his beloved Alison. He reached out, wanting to touch her face. But the moment his trembling fingers brushed against her cold cheek, he forced a smile, still clinging to his delusions."Alison, why is your body so cold? Let me warm you up, okay? Once you're warm, you'll wake up and look at me. Today is our wedding day. Are you really going to leave me here all alone?"One of the attendants stepped forward to support him. "Alpha, please accept our condolences. Ms. Monclair is gone."That sentence ignited Eric's fury. He shoved them away forcefully, his eyes bloodshot as he roared at them, "No, she's not dead! She's just sleeping!"The attendants fell silent for a moment before handing him a letter."When we arrived, we saw this beside her."Eric's hands trembled as he took the letter. The moment he opened it, Alison's elegant handwriting came into view."Eric, when I was 18, you pulled me out of my desolate world. You gave me

My parents held a grand banquet to introduce me—the child they had just found—to everyone.To please me, they even turned the event into a masquerade ball, which was more popular among young people.I let them dress me up without complaint, and I attended the ball in formal attire, wearing a mask.I hadn't expected to run into Eric, who was drinking alone among the many mingling guests.Though he was dressed according to the dress code of the ball, he was not wearing a mask. He sat in a corner, drinking, his face full of exhaustion.Beside him was one of his noble friends from the Kalmoor Pack, whom I had seen before. I overheard the man comforting him."Eric, Alison's death has nothing to do with you. Every nobleman in Ceflorn has a mistress. Besides, she was just a lowly orphan. If she hadn't been so petty, things wouldn't have ended up like this."It was only upon hearing that familiar name that Eric reacted."I was the one who broke our promise. I was the one who killed Ali

When she woke up again, Camilla knew the baby was gone.After confirming with the pack's healer that Camilla had miscarried the baby, Eric went to her bedside."Leave this pack. I never want to see you again."Every time he looked at Camilla, he was reminded of his betrayal and Alison's suicide, a pain that tore through his heart.Camilla had shouted at him, "Eric, do you think you're some kind of devoted lover now? You got rid of your child and kicked me out, and now you're mourning your so-called true love all by yourself? I never begged you to take me the first time we slept together! You were the one who couldn't resist temptation and pinned me beneath you!"And just a few nights ago, you were the one who came to my room in the middle of the night! I never forced you into anything!"Her words struck a nerve, which enraged Eric. He didn't even give the recovering Camilla time to rest as he ordered his guards to throw her out immediately, ignoring her weakened state.For the n
