My cheeks flushed as I turned to Zephyr. “You didn’t even give me a chance to decide.”Zephyr chuckled. “I could see it in your eyes. You’ve already fallen for it.”My eyes roamed the shelves, admiring the bags. But suddenly, my gaze landed on a vintage bag displayed in the corner.It was the old summer collection that I had owned years ago. The bag wasn’t just beautiful—it brought back memories.I slowly approached it, my fingers brushing the familiar leather. “I used to have one just like this,” I murmured, almost to myself.Zephyr wanted to ask what had happened, but he stopped himself. The answer was obvious, and the thought of Rowan’s control over my life made his blood boil.“Rowan sold it, didn’t he?” Zephyr said in a soft tone.I nodded slightly. “He needed more money for his business, so he sold all my bags.”My closet, once filled with dozens of luxury bags I had carefully collected over the years, had been emptied without my consent.“I remember how excited I was when I bou

I didn’t know what Eleanor would say once we met. Our last meeting had been chaotic and filled with harsh words, accusations, and misunderstandings.It was a moment I had tried hard to forget, but the sting of Eleanor’s judgment lingered like an old wound in my heart."Do you think Eleanor will hate me?" I asked Zephyr.Zephyr, reading documents on his tablet, replied, "Who cares what her opinion is? She is not the leader of this pack."I smiled slightly at his bluntness, but his words didn’t completely calm my nerves. "She may not be the leader of this pack, but she is our closest family member. That’s why her opinion matters to me."Besides, Eleanor was Zephyr’s stepmother, so it would be bad for me if she didn’t approve of our relationship.I sighed inwardly. Having only one mother-in-law was hard enough, but now I had two.Zephyr finally put down his tablet and turned to me. "Samantha, people who care about you will take the time to understand you. If Eleanor refuses to understand

Did I hear it wrong?I wasn’t sure if I was hallucinating or if Eleanor was truly apologizing to me.Wasn’t she supposed to hate me? To be disgusted by me?But why… why was she suddenly standing by my side?I stared at Eleanor, my thoughts spinning in confusion. I had prepared myself for hostility, for a scream or a slap, but instead, I was met with something unexpected—a heartfelt apology.No one had ever apologized to me before.Rowan always insisted that my pain was my own fault. He’d remind me time and time again that I had chosen to marry him, and it was my weakness that kept me trapped in a failed marriage.His mother had been no better, constantly manipulating me into believing I was overreacting, making me feel as though my struggles were trivial and unworthy of attention.But Eleanor… she had done what they never did. She was the first to say the words I had desperately longed to hear. A real, genuine apology."I failed to raise one of my daughters and, in doing so, turned he

"Samantha, are you awake?" A loud knock rattled my door in the early morning.I groaned and rubbed my eyes, trying to shake off the lingering sleepiness. Glancing at the clock on my bedside table, I sighed in exasperation. It was barely 5 a.m.I had stayed up late practicing my script and had only managed to fall asleep around 3 a.m. Now, irritation simmered beneath my exhaustion as the relentless knocking continued."What’s going on?" I yanked the door open, still trying to maintain my politeness.I was surprised to find Layla standing behind the door. Since Eleanor and Mona had returned to the manor, they had been spending more time together and had become closer than before.But even though their relationship had improved, it didn’t mean she had to wake me up before sunrise. Besides, I had to be at the courthouse by nine, so I wanted to use the remaining time to sleep.Before I could say another word, Layla shoved her phone screen in my face. "The news. Have you seen the news?"I f

The judge said, "And the matter of assets and alimony will be addressed separately in the coming days."Mr. Anders quickly stood up. "Your Honor, if I may, I believe there are assets that should be addressed immediately."The judge said, "I understand your concerns, Mr. Anders. However, the court has already determined that such matters will be handled in the separated session due to complicated matters."The judge continued, "This decision ensures that all financial matters are reviewed thoroughly and fairly. Rushing this process would not serve justice."I could clearly see the tension on Mr. Anders’s face. He clenched his jaw, his fingers gripping his pen tightly.After receiving the hard blow to his business, Rowan must have wanted to secure all of his assets as soon as possible.Fortunately, the judge was a fair person, so he declined Mr. Anders’ suggestion without hesitation.Not long after, the judge’s gavel struck again. "Court dismissed."I immediately stood up from my chair

Chapter 26

A helicopter descended onto the private landing pad near the Silverclaw manor. As the helicopter door opened, my parents stepped out, their faces filled with anger and frustration. After hearing my cry through the phone, my father, Derek Cole, immediately rented a helicopter to fly from Luvania City to Northbridge City. For five years, they had struggled to stay in touch with me after I married Rowan. They assumed I was simply busy and tried to be understanding of my situation. However, after learning the harsh truth, they finally realized the real reason I had never come home for so many years. Zephyr walked toward them as they descended from the helicopter. "Alpha Derek, Luna Olivia. I—" "Where is my daughter?" my mother—Olivia Cole—immediately cut off his words. After knowing what Rowan had done to me, she couldn’t bear to see any of his family’s faces. Zephyr didn’t get angry over her attitude and tried to understand. "She is in the manor. Please, follow me." My mothe

Zephyr sat across from my parents, while I sat between them nervously.We had decided to move into Zephyr’s study room for more privacy, but the closed space made the atmosphere feel heavy and awkward.My mother’s eyes never left Zephyr as she spoke. "Explain your relationship with my daughter."I nudged her sleeve, whispering, "Mom, I told you—""No, not you, sweetie. I want him to answer it by himself."The last time she allowed me to defend my mate, the results had been disastrous. So this time, she wanted to judge Zephyr without my involvement.Across from us, Zephyr looked a bit stiff. His usual calm demeanor had vanished under the intensity of my mother’s gaze.It never occurred to me that my mother could make a strong and respected Alpha like Zephyr nervous.He cleared his throat before speaking. "I understand your concern, Mrs. Cole. My family issue is not something I am proud of, but I assure you, I don’t have any intention of hurting your daughter.""I marked Samantha to pro

I had a really good sleep that night. For the first time in so long, I could sleep next to my mother again, her presence wrapping around me like a shield, giving me the kind of comfort I hadn’t realized I’d been missing all these years. When morning came, I led my parents to the dining room, where we met Zephyr’s entire family. They all seemed a bit anxious—especially Eleanor. It made sense. My parents recognized her as Rowan’s maternal grandmother. They had met her several times before my wedding, and things hadn’t exactly ended well. "Mom, Dad… Eleanor is the one who helped me ruin Rowan’s business," I explained gently, hoping to ease the tension between them. Before either of them could respond, Ashley came running toward us, holding a plate of cake. Her small face lit up with excitement as she stopped in front of my parents. "Hello! I’m Ashley!" she chirped happily. "This is for you. My mom says we should always give a welcoming cake to our staying guests." I watched

Even though five years had passed, my appearance still looked as young as before, and that was one of the advantages of being a werewolf. We weren’t immortal, but our aging process was three times slower than humans. That was why werewolf celebrities tended to have longer careers compared to ordinary humans. Unfortunately, I no longer had the same spark I used to carry. My appearance hadn’t changed, but the way I saw the world had shifted drastically. The wounds in my heart still hadn’t healed, and they made it difficult to keep my spirits up. Still, I refused to drown in that pain anymore. I had to try. "I need to go first, Mrs. Cole," Gina said, patting my shoulder lightly before walking away. "I can’t wait to see your best performance." Right. I reminded myself of that as I watched her leave. I had come here for a reason—to give my best, to rebuild my career from the ground up. Today, I only needed to focus on myself. I needed to stand on equal ground with Zephyr somed

Chapter 30

The writer looked at me with compassionate eyes. She was on the verge of tears, unable to believe that the character she had imagined for years had finally come to life. "I might not have the authority to choose the actor," Celeste said confidently, "but all I can say is… I think you would be perfect for my Elara." Gina, the vice director, nodded in agreement. "I don’t have much to say because your performance has exceeded my expectations, Mrs. Cole." Still immersed in the character’s emotions, I tried my best to wipe away the tears in my eyes, but a bright smile had already formed on my lips. "Thank you," I said politely. Their compliments boosted my confidence and silenced the doubts that had been filling my head for the past few days. Matthew clapped again, grinning. "I rarely compliment actors during auditions, but right now my mouth would itch all day if I didn’t say this—you’ve made me want to see this movie right now." The producer, Frank Valen, couldn’t help but
