Chapter 21 Exposing Her Luna Identity

Valerie's POVI froze on the spot, completely caught off guard by what I'd just heard.Lily?Her name slipped from my lips in a whisper. My thoughts tangled in a rush of disbelief and something heavier I didn't want to name.Maybe my reaction made it look like I didn't know who she was, because the colleague beside me chuckled and teased, "Valerie, you're always buried in work and never pay attention to anything else. No wonder you've missed out on the Alpha's gossip."Before I could respond, another voice chimed in, animated with excitement."Lily is our Alpha's first love! They were inseparable back then. But after a fight, they broke up, and she left heartbroken. Alpha Aaron stayed single for years because of her."Now that Lily's back—and she's even joining the Affairs Hall to work by his side—I'm telling you, it's only a matter of time before he takes her as his mate. She's going to be our Luna soon!"Someone nearby scoffed in disbelief."Come on, really? It's been years

Chapter 22 Backstabbing

Valerie's POVI forced a faint smile and replied, "I'm fine. I just suddenly remembered there's some work I haven't finished."My colleague gave a half-hearted shrug. "Figures. You only ever have eyes for work."Another one drawled lazily, "Valerie, you really scared me for a second there. I thought you were sick again. If you fall ill, your workload will be divided among us… and we're already drowning as it is."Pressing my lips together, I answered softly, "Don't worry. I'll take care of my own tasks."I couldn't help feeling a little bewildered. Since joining the Affairs Hall, I'd never dumped my work on anyone else.If anything, it was usually the opposite—when some of them couldn't meet their performance targets, I'd quietly step in to help so they wouldn't lose their bonuses.But I didn't have the energy to argue. I returned to my desk in silence and buried myself in paperwork.Yet as I worked, my mind wouldn't stay still. My colleagues' gossip echoed in my head again and

Chapter 23 What Are You Doing Here?

Valerie's POVHearing Nina and Lisa talk about me like that, I couldn't stop my fists from tightening until my nails bit into my palms.So that's how they'd always seen me.Anger simmered in my chest, sharp and suffocating.If this had been before… if Annie, my wolf, were still here, she would have burst out, baring her fangs in my defense.But after that accident, Annie was gone. Forever.The cruel part was—they weren't entirely wrong. Without my wolf, I was a cripple in the eyes of the pack. Useless. Powerless.Even if I stormed out and confronted them, what could I really do? I had no strength to fight back, no right to stand as their equal. All I would earn was humiliation.So I stayed hidden in the stall, swallowing my pride, waiting until they finally left the restroom before slipping out and heading quietly back to my desk."Valerie! Take this file to the Alpha's office—immediately."The head of the secretary department's sharp voice snapped me out of my thoughts.Bef

Chapter 24 Unworthy Father

Valerie's POVIt wasn't until Lily spoke that I finally understood—Aaron had really arranged for her to join the Pack Affairs Hall.The Pack Affairs Hall was the very heart of the Black Shadow Pack, where the Alpha handled the most crucial pack matters. It also managed several of the pack's core industries. And before this, not once had the Hall ever been involved in anything remotely related to design.Yet now, for Lily's sake, Aaron had gone so far as to create an entirely new design department just to accommodate her.If that wasn't special treatment, then what was?A bitter chill seeped through me, hollowing out the last of my warmth.If I hadn't given up before, I should now. This—right here—was the final proof that I needed to stop hoping.I lifted my eyes to Lily and said flatly, "That won't be necessary. I don't need anyone teaching me how to do my job."Her brows pinched together, and with a perfectly measured sigh, she said before Aaron, "Valerie, I'm only thinking ab

Chapter 25 Come to the Hospital Now

Valerie's POVAt this point, I no longer saw the need to explain myself.After all, Aaron had already decided to sever our mate bond—what good would proving my innocence do now? He never believed me anyway. The more I said, the more he'd think I was just making excuses."So what if it's true?" I said flatly, meeting his eyes without a trace of emotion.His expression darkened immediately, rage twisting his features until his jaw clenched tight. "Get out!" he snapped, nearly shouting. "I don't want to see you again!"My heart clenched, skipping a beat or two. His words hit harder than I wanted to admit.He'd probably wanted to say that for a long time, hadn't he? After all, my existence had always been the obstacle standing between him and Lily.Lily's lips parted slightly, her tone tentative. "Aaron, calm down. Valerie—""Lily," Aaron cut her off coldly, "you don't need to defend Valerie anymore. You're too kind—that's your flaw. Some people simply don't deserve your concern.

Chapter 26 Congratulations

Valerie's POVA sharp, urgent voice burst through the phone. "Is this Valerie? Please come to the hospital now."I froze for a second, confusion tightening my chest. "The hospital? What happened?""The obstetrician, Dr. Ariston, said there was an issue with your prenatal test results. You may need to come in for a reexamination," the nurse replied quickly.My heart plummeted. A cold shiver crept through my limbs.Without another thought, I grabbed my bag and rushed out the door.By the time I finished all the tests at the hospital, two anxious hours had passed.Now, sitting in the doctor's office, I watched Dr. Ariston study my report with a grave expression. My pulse thudded in my ears.Ever since that silver injury that took away Annie—my wolf—my body had been fragile, weaker than before.Could it be that the silver's lingering toxins were still affecting me? Or worse, harming the pup inside me?A hundred dreadful possibilities raced through my mind in the span of seconds

Chapter 27 Business Banquet

Valerie's POVWhen I saw Aaron's name flash across my phone screen, I hesitated. For a brief second, I wanted to ignore the call.But then I remembered—he might be calling to arrange our bond severance proceedings.With that thought, I forced myself to take a steady breath and answer. Dr. Ariston had told me to stay calm, to avoid unnecessary stress. I couldn't let someone like Aaron affect my mood.I pressed accept. Before I could even speak, his cold voice slashed through the line."Valerie, it's work hours. Why did you suddenly disappear? Nina said you left two and a half hours ago. Where are you?"My stomach clenched. Instinctively, I searched for an excuse."I had something urgent to deal with, so I left early…""What could you possibly have to deal with?" His tone sharpened, refusing to let it go.I cursed myself silently. If I'd known he would interrogate me like this, I would've at least asked my supervisor for leave before going to the hospital.As I scrambled for a

Chapter 28 My Mate Wouldn't Like That

Valerie's POVBefore I could say another word, Aaron hung up the call—just like that.I stared at my phone for a few seconds, speechless. The call log glared back at me as if to confirm it: Aaron was still as self-centered as ever, doing whatever he pleased without sparing a thought for anyone else's feelings.But what puzzled me more was this sudden arrangement. Why had Gaius asked me to attend the banquet with Aaron? And even more baffling—why had Aaron actually agreed?"He didn't even tell me which hotel it's at. What does he expect me to do, wander aimlessly around the entire city?" I muttered under my breath.Almost as if in response, a string of new messages from Aaron lit up my screen: [You don't need to go to the Pack Affairs Hall. Just get ready and head straight there. Seven o'clock sharp. Don't be late.]Attached below was the hotel address.Since it was a request from Gaius, there wasn't much room to refuse. I had no choice but to head home, get dressed, and make my

Chapter 29 My Mate is Aaron Garth

Valerie's POVFelix frowned, his gaze sweeping over me before landing squarely on my bare hands.He gave a self-assured smirk and shook his head. "Come on, you're just being coy, aren't you? No mating cuff, no jewelry—do you really expect me to believe you're married? You're clearly making that up to brush me off."Instinctively, I curled my fingers, as if to hide the evidence—or lack thereof. My wrists were as bare as my fingers. His disbelief pierced me like a needle.Three years as his mate, yet Aaron had never once made our relationship public.He had never wanted to be bound to me in the first place; his heart had always belonged to Lily. Our binding had been little more than a formality, a cold transaction sealed without celebration or sentiment.As for a mating cuff—something meant to symbolize love—I had never been given one.Felix reached out suddenly, aiming to grab my wrist. Without thinking, I sidestepped, retreating two steps back. My tone hardened."I'm not joking

Chapter 30 Let Her Go

Valerie's POVAs more and more bystanders turned their heads in our direction, the smugness on Felix's face began to crumble into embarrassment.I knew it. No matter how arrogant he acted, he wouldn't dare cause a real scene at such a formal event.His jaw tightened; he glared at me with venom in his eyes and spat through gritted teeth, "Just you wait!"Then he spun around and stormed off.Only when his back disappeared into the crowd did I finally let out the breath I'd been holding.For the rest of the night, I kept to the shadows, avoiding people as much as possible. I didn't touch a single bite or sip from the banquet tables—anything to stay out of trouble.But as the evening wore on and the last guests began to drift out, I realized something strange: Aaron still hadn't shown up.As much as I disliked him, I knew one thing for certain—he never joked about business.Tonight's event had gathered half the city's elite. A major business banquet like this should have demanded
