Semua Bab The Quiet Betrayal: Bab 1 - Bab 9

I didn’t know if she did it on purpose, but whenever Harry gave me something, Chloe always showed great interest. She would cling, pout, and wheedle until she got her way, and I never argued. Whatever she wanted, I gave her, including Harry himself.In the end, I decided not to keep anything. I only packed a few changes of clothes and daily necessities before leaving what used to be my room, but now was hers.As I walked past Chloe, she suddenly reached out and pulled a moonstone pendant from my pocket.“No! Not that one!” My face went pale, and I lunged to take it back.I could give her anything, but not that. It was the only keepsake my mother left me, and I treasured it deeply. Normally, I kept it safely tucked away in a small jewelry box, but today, in my rush, I had slipped it into my pocket instead.Chloe let out a small cry, clutching her stomach as if she might fall.“Careful!”Harry shoved past me, striding straight toward Chloe to catch her.I hadn’t expected it, and

“What did you just say?”Harry suddenly sat bolt upright, his face darker than ever before.Inside his head, the wolf within him was howling restlessly. “What? What did you say? Lianne’s dead? That can’t be right. Why would she be at the airport? She’s supposed to be at home.”Slowly, his lost sense of reason returned. He tried to comfort himself. “That’s right. Lianne has been at home. There’s no way she’d show up at the airport.”With trembling hands, he dialed the number of the butler at his estate.“Is my wife at home? Put her on the phone now!” He didn’t even notice how much his voice was shaking.After a long silence, the butler finally replied on the other end of the line.“Madam is in her room. She’s already asleep.”Harry let out a breath of relief, his expression easing as he muttered, “I knew it. There’s no way she’d leave. She would never go to the airport.”Chloe had been watching Harry closely. When she saw the tension leave his face, her lips curved into a faint

Harry couldn’t believe I had left. His mind was in a daze, and deep down, he refused to accept it.Why would I just leave for no reason? Unless…His heart skipped a beat as he suddenly remembered the butler’s strange behavior.Harry quickly called his second-in-command. “Check the butler’s recent movements. Report back to me immediately.”When he saw the report, anger and disappointment clouded his face. He turned to the butler and demanded, “You’ve been with me for over ten years. Why would you let yourself be bought off so easily by Chloe?”It turned out Chloe had bribed the butler long ago, ordering him to keep watch over me.The moment I left the estate today, Chloe was informed right away. She was secretly delighted and even instructed the butler not to let Harry know until after the bonding ceremony was complete.However, no matter how careful her plan was, she hadn’t counted on me being attacked at the airport or that Harry would find out anyway, exposing the butler in

Wesley was drawn to my resilient nature. He developed a strong affection for me and kept urging me to go South with him.“At Whitebush Pack, it’s like spring all year round,” he said eagerly. “Flowers bloom everywhere, and I promise you’ll fall in love with it! Come with me. Besides, wasn’t your original plan to travel South anyway?”I didn’t know why, before losing my memory, I had planned to head South. However, since that was my original journey, following Wesley didn’t seem impossible. So, I went to the Whitebush Pack, and just as Wesley had described, it was beautiful beyond words.A year later, I gave birth to a pair of twins—a boy and a girl. Wesley was even happier than I was. He came to see them every single day.When the children turned three, Wesley finally won me over, and I decided to accept his proposal.News spread quickly that the Alpha of Whitebush Pack was holding a bonding ceremony.Wesley was a capable man. In just four years, he had unified the entire South,
