Chapter 21

After dealing with Aurelia, Caspian immediately called Huxley. "Get me the fastest flight to the Silver Moon pack. I'll leave the Elder Council to you. Cancel the ceremony, and push everything else back for now."Now, his only thought was to rush to the Silver Moon Pack and get to Serena's side.The mere image of Forrest relentlessly hounding her there was enough to drive him out of his mind.He had to get to her as soon as possible. There was no way he was going to let her slip away from him.On the flight, Caspian anxiously watched the time tick by.The excitement of finally seeing Serena, combined with the fear that she might not forgive him, made him restless. He couldn't even sit still.As soon as he landed, he rushed toward Serena's home.His heart pounded harder the closer he got, as if it were about to leap out of his chest.However, as soon as he got out of the car, he saw the last person he wanted to—Forrest. He was standing under a nearby tree, looking both desolate

Chapter 22

The cold gleam of the dagger cut through Caspian's heart, and his eyes turned red. He couldn't believe Serena would treat him this way.Forrest was no better. His condition grew increasingly unstable, swinging violently between two extremes.At times, he would kneel before Serena, crying and begging for her forgiveness, even going so far as to harm himself to get her attention.But at other moments, he would lash out, threatening her with violence if she didn't submit to him.Serena ignored him entirely, which only made Forrest more unhinged.In a desperate attempt to force her into submission, he revealed his true identity as the heir of the Mystic Moon pack and used it to pressure the Silver Moon pack's research institute to expel Serena.Worse yet, Caspian and Forrest each saw the other as the ultimate obstacle to winning Serena back. They were locked in a constant struggle.Caspian froze Forrest's credit card to stop him from buying Serena gifts and had someone keep an eye o

Chapter 23

At the Mystic Moon pack's airport, Serena stepped out of the terminal and took a deep breath of the familiar air.Astraea was in a cheerful mood. "It's been so long. This place still feels the same."Serena smiled faintly, her whole presence radiating a captivating glow.These years had transformed her. She was even more beautiful than before, but there was a coldness to her now.Before she could get into a cab, she saw a large crowd of people rushing toward her.On one side stood Caspian, who was gazing at Serena greedily. He was dressed in the kind of flamboyant attire he once held in total contempt. He used to mock it as something only a mating-obsessed male werewolf would wear.Clutching the bracelet he had once discarded, he spoke to Serena with passion. "Serena, do you remember this bracelet? It's my family heirloom. I gave it to you right after we got together."Back then, I had already fallen for you, but I didn't understand my feelings. Serena, please forgive me. Come b

Chapter 24

Forrest swung to the opposite extreme, trading his loud pursuits for quiet devotion.Regardless of the weather, he would wait silently across the street from Serena's home every day, watching over her as she left for work and returned.He watched her in silence, desperately hoping she would sense the change in him and take him back.When he realized that Serena remained utterly unmoved, he finally snapped. He lunged in front of her, holding a syringe filled with wolfsbane.Without hesitation, he injected the poison into his own body right in front of her. His eyes were bloodshot as he said, "Look, I've taken my revenge for you. Does this make your anger fade? Is this enough... to make you forgive me?"Serena frowned, her disgust clear as she watched him harm himself.Astraea's voice quivered. "Has he gone mad? This is terrifying! Serena, we should leave. Get away from him!"With a dark expression, Serena turned and walked away.Forrest's actions now were even more horrifying th

Chapter 25

Caspian and Forrest exhausted every means they could think of to win Serena back.They tried jewelry, power plays, promises of wealth, and even kneeling before her, yet none of it moved her.Serena remained as indifferent as ever, leaving them completely powerless.They were utterly consumed by despair. A wave of sheer panic surged through their entire bodies.Were they truly… going to lose her forever?From the very moment they conspired against her and deceived her for Aurelia's sake, dragging her from the pedestal into the depths of the abyss, any possibility of forgiveness had vanished forever.Caspian refused to let go. Clinging to the last shred of hope, he arrived at the gates of the research institute.His face was a mask of utter desolation. With trembling hands, he dialed the familiar number on his phone.But as expected, the call went unanswered.As he stared at the building's entrance, images of Serena hunched over her work flooded his mind. He had seen it countles

Chapter 26

As Caspian and Forrest stared into Serena's indifferent eyes, they felt as though every ounce of energy had been drained from their bodies. They collapsed to the cold floor.From that day on, they were nothing more than hollow, wandering figures.Caspian locked himself away in the pack office, becoming even more ruthless than before. He became a machine that only knew how to manage the pack's affairs.He turned into the most perfect Alpha the pack had ever seen, yet he no longer seemed like a living, breathing werewolf.His existence was consumed by an endless cycle of work and administrative affairs, with no room for warmth or feelings.Countless she-wolves yearned to become Luna. Aldric and the Elder Council exhausted every possible means to handpick the most exceptional candidates for him, yet he rejected them all coldly.He knew he could never love any she-wolf again.On the other hand, Forrest had reverted to the life he led before he ever met Serena.No, it was worse now.
