Chapter 91: Feigning Ignorance

I approached Enoch just as he ws about to come to me. He leaned down slightly, lowering his voice so only I could hear. "I was looking for you." "So was I," I replied, keeping my smile polite and calm. I didn't want him to realize that someone's gaze had startled me. I didn't want to cause him any worry.For a moment, his eyes searched my face as if checking for something. I wondered if the bond was written there. If the chaos beneath my skin was visible. "I'll have to excuse myself," he said after a pause. "Her Majesty requested a private meeting. The other generals and I will be joining her."Luna Queen Rachelle.She was still working in the royal military, despite being our Luna Queen. Our Alpha King never stripped that title away from her because it was part of her. He never failed to show how much he loved our Luna Queen. However, there was a rumor that they were almost divorced from their marriage when she went to the rogue war while keeping her pregnancy from him. It was f

Chapter 92: Past Revelations

The endearment hit me harder than his touch. For a split second, I couldn't breathe. I hadn't heard that endearment in the two years since my death in my past life.I only remember him using it whenever he wanted to tease and claim me. It sometimes softened in ways no one else ever heard. Cold swept down my spine as my wolf silent. No... No, no, no—Before I realized what I was doing, my palms were against his chest.I shoved him. Not enough to hurt him, but hust hard enough to break the contact."S-Stay away from me!"My voice cracked more than I intended, but I didn't take it back. My heart was pounding too loudly in my chest, and every instinct inside me screamed that letting him come any closer would be a mistake. Lucretius stopped. He didn't look offended. If anything, his expression grew strangely calm, almost thoughtful, as if he had been expecting those exact words."Stay away?" he repeated quietly. His gaze held mine. "Is that truly what you want, Euphyllia?"I stared at

Chapter 93: Lost in Thought

"Are you listening to me, Euphyllia?" The sound of my brother's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I blinked and looked up from the rose bush in front of me. "W-What? Come again?" My fingers were carefully trimming the thorns along the stem, though judging by the uneven cuts I had already made, my mind had clearly been somewhere else.The morning sun spilled across the Caelthorn garden, bathing the white gazebo in warm light. Enoch sat across from me at the small marble table, several documents spread neatly before him as he reviewed them with the same focus he used in military briefings."You haven't heard a single thing I said, have you?" He sighed.I forced a small smile and set the shears aside. "I heard you."Enoch lifted a brow in a way that clearly said he didn't believe me.My gaze drifted back to the roses. In truth, my thoughts had been far away since last night.Since the garden.Since Lucretius.The conversation between us had never reached its end. It had been interr

Chapter 94: Caelthorn Trade House

The Caelthorn Trade House had not changed much in three years.The same tall stone façade greeted me as the carriage came to a stop in front of the building. Its large arched windows reflected the morning sun, while the golden crest of House Caelthorn—an ornate crown surrounded by crystalline gemstones—hung proudly above the entrance.Yet stepping out of the carriage still felt strangely unfamiliar.Perhaps because the last time I arrived here, I had been Lady Euphyllia Caelthorn-Velmere.Now...I was simply Euphyllia Caelthorn again.A few merchants and clerks moving near the entrance immediately straightened when they noticed me. "Lady Euphyllia." "Good morning, my lady."I acknowledged them with a small nod before making my way inside. The familiar scent of polished wood, parchment, and gemstone dust greeted me as soon as I crossed the threshold. I could even hear the voices echoed through the large trading hall, merchants negotiated over shipment prices, clerks hurried between

Chapter 95: Restless

The northern mine convoy waited in the trade house courtyard. Large iron-reinforced wagons stood lined in two neat rows, each marked with the Caelthorn crest. Heavy chests secured with steel locks rested inside them, filled with uncut gemstones fresh from the mines.Workers moved busily between the wagons. Some inspected the wheels and axles. Others double-checked the seals on the crates.Soldiers from the royal military stood positioned around the perimeter, their presence ensuring that no curious merchant or opportunistic thief came too close.The entire courtyard hummed with preparation. I walked slowly along the row of wagons, reviewing the inventory ledger in my hand while Charles explained the details beside me. "Three shipments from the northern shaft," he said, pointing toward the first wagon. "Mostly diamonds and moonstones this time. The deeper tunnel yielded quite a few high-grade crystals. I nodded, marking the note on the ledger. "And the second wagon?""Mixed gemstone

Chapter 96: Pulsating Mate Bond

"Check the seals again! Make sure nothing cracked open!"Charles supervised the process with visible panic as workers rushed to gather the scattered gemstones, crouching around the courtyard to carefully pick up the fallen pouches.While they were busy, the soldiers remained calm and collected, though a few of them had clearly noticed how quickly their general had moved.Lucretius, however, acted as if nothing unusual had happened. He bent slightly and picked up one of the gemstones that had rolled near his boot. It was a deep blue sapphire that glimmered in the sunlight.Without a word, he handed it to one of the workers before brushing the dust from his gloves. I tried to return my attention to the ledger in my hands. The problem was the warmth still lingering around my waist where he had held me. And my wolf was far too pleased, which was not good. This wasn't an issue on my part back in my past life. Or maybe it already did. It just that my wolf was always approved in him whil

Chapter 97: Never Had Been

It had been two years since I last dined alone with him. Two years since my death. Never in my wildest expectations did I think we could ever sit this close again. A quiet tug stirred in my chest, pulling memories to the surface despite my efforts to ignore them. Memories of the days when I had still been married to him. Those days... They had been the happiest moments of my life. Even the fragments of memories from my other past lives could not compare to them. For a brief moment, the room felt strangely smaller and quieter. It was as if the years between us had folded in on themselves.I lowered my gaze to the bowl in front of me while the spoon was resting on my lips, thinking deeply. I even gently tapped the back of the spoon on my lips.Across the desk, Lucretius watched me with that same steady gaze he always seemed to have whenever I was near."You are doing it again."I snapped back to reality. My brows knitted slightly as I raised my gaze to him. "Doing what?"His eyes l

Chapter 98: Representatives' Arrival

It was strangely quiet inside the Caelthorn estate. It was the kind of quiet that only existed when the master of the house was away.Enoch had already returned to the military camp early this morning, leaving the estate far emptier than usual. Even now, the echoes of his footsteps from when he left still seemed to linger in the hallways.Before leaving, he had stopped by the dining room to give one final instruction. No—several instructions.I rested my chin against my hand as I stared down at the half-finished cup of tea on the table, remembering the way he had stood there earlier with his arms crossed."Eat your meals on time.""Do not skip them because you get busy.""And Euphyllia... do not do anything reckless."The last one had been delivered with a meaningful look.I quietly exhaled.Enoch had not mentioned the reason outright. He did not need to.The memory lingered between us like a shadow neither of us wished to drag back into the light.My fingers tapped lightly against t

Chapter 99: Worth Protecting

Marcelo pulled a folded document from the leather folder he had brought with him and placed it on the table. "Our visit concerns a trade proposal," he said. Seraphine leaned forward slightly, resting her elbow against the armrest of the chair as if the discussion were merely a pleasant pastime. "The Silvermist Pack is expanding our armory and ceremonial holdings," she explained smoothly. "We were hoping to secure a stable supply of gemstones from the Caelthorn mines."My gaze lowered briefly to the parchment Marcelo had set down. I already knew where this was going.Marcelo tapped the paper lightly. "We are requesting priority shipment rights," he said. "Specifically for moonstone and sapphire deposits from your western mines."My brows knit slightly. Priority rights meant something very specific in trade. It meant that Silvermist shipments would be fulfilled before any other buyers.Including the royal court. Including the military. Including long-standing merchant partners.I

Chapter 100: Not One of Them

In the end, no agreement was reached.The discussion had gone in circles—offers met with refusals, veiled remarks answered with colder ones. Neither side yielded, and neither side intended to.Marcelo and Seraphine left the trade house with restrained displeasure, though it was Marcelo's parting words that lingered far longer than his presence."This is not over yet, Euphyllia.""We will not accept no as an answer."The memory of it made my temples throb. I pressed my fingers against them now, exhaling slowly as I sat alone in my study.The room had long since fallen quiet after their departure. Even the clerks outside seemed to move more cautiously, as though sensing the tension that had been left behind. My gaze drifted to the folded document Marcelo had handed me earlier. It was still lying on the desk, remained untouched. A sharp irritation rose in my chest. Without thinking, I reached for it. My fingers tightened around the parchment before crumpling it in one swift motion. Th
