Dylan finally got home when dawn was about to break.I hadn't lit the lamps. I was curled up on the animal hide couch, my gaze fixed on the door.He pushed the door open and came in. He raised his hand to light the night crystal lamp, and when he saw that I hadn't slept, he was clearly startled. He began walking slowly toward me."You know," he simply said.He swallowed, his voice sounding tight as he tried to hide how flustered he was. I nodded.We had been with each other for five years, and we were too familiar with each other. His sudden promise, his messy clothing, and the wrong steps he had taken had all alerted me to the fact that he was hiding something.I had always been perky, and I never sat silently in a corner late at night.Dylan knew that it wasn't normal for me to be like that.He sighed and sat down beside me. He took out a long, thin crystal tube from the pouch that he carried around with him. It contained a blue potion, and he placed it gently in front of

When Lira got back, I was already curled up on the animal hide mat. I had ordered a huge bag of cured meat and roasted nuts, and I was watching a video of the pack discussing healing techniques while I ate. "Hey, Lira, do you want some? This fruit-flavored cured meat is delicious," I said.Lira swatted my hand away at once. "Has your brain gotten infected with silver venom? How can you even eat at a time like this? That jerk Dylan has betrayed you!"The she-wolf that keeps coughing beside him is his stepsister! She's the mate that he bonded with at the ceremony today! I heard that she's got a fatal disease and that completing the ceremony with Dylan was her dying wish!"It was strange, but I didn't care at all. I handed Lira a piece of fruit-flavored cured meat."Oh, how dramatic! And then what?" I asked sarcastically.Lira opened her mouth and swiped the cured meat away. She chewed on it while glaring at me."Your mate, whom you haven't bonded with yet, switched to a different she-wo

When Dylan had finally left, I slumped, feeling deflated.Lira crossed her arms and scoffed. "Having a mate bond with a crazy werewolf like that would be a mark of shame in your life.""Come on, let's hurry up and go home!" I urged Lira.She was startled, and I curled my lip. "I want to go home, light up some essential oils, and have a good shower. I don't want his scent to linger on me!"After having a shower, I analyzed the situation with Lira."Dylan is my fated mate, but he actually bonded with another she-wolf and went for a honeymoon in Northia. He's nothing to me anymore. I was infatuated with him in the past, but now I see him clearly for who he is, and it might not be a bad thing."Besides, I can sense that my wolf completed its transformation while she was in a deep sleep. She's been hiding her real skills for the past few years," I explained.When I finished, Lira was startled and said softly, "That may be a good thing. However, I still feel indignant on your behalf.

Dylan finally disappeared. After that incident, he did not appear in my sight again.I was also finally ready to leave the pack and go to Northia to teach at the healing academy. Lira was helping me pack, but she suddenly stopped as if she'd just thought of something."Did you know that Jocelyn wasn't infected with the silver venom at all? She was just pretending the whole time," Lira said.She told me that Jocelyn had gotten someone to forge her test reports and diagnosis to force Dylan to bond with her. The counterfeit production chain had been found and shut down, and she had been dragged into it."Really? That's good," I said calmly, wanting her not to come and disrupt me again.However, I unexpectedly ran into Dylan at the pack's borders. He ran up to stop me, panting, and told me he wanted to say a few more things.His cloak was not rumpled, and he looked like he had recovered well. He did not look as disheveled as he had in the past. He was back to being presentable. L
