Irene’s Point of ViewI stared at the mark on my neck a little longer than I should have.And honestly?I liked it.The dark mark curved perfectly against my skin, impossible to ignore. Every time I looked at it, warmth spread through my chest so fast it embarrassed me.I quickly bit back a smile before anyone could see.Especially Arnold.If he noticed how much I liked it, he would never let me live in peace again.For a moment, my mind drifted back to the way Rejin stared at me earlier. She was probably still adjusting to the fact that I was the Luna now.Arnold made sure everyone understood it.This mark was proof.I was his.“Do you like it that much?”Arnold’s voice suddenly sounded right behind me.I jumped slightly.I had not even heard him walk in.Heat rushed straight into my face as I turned too quickly. I tried pretending I had no idea what he meant, but the amused look in his eyes told me he saw through me instantly.Of course he did.Before I could escape, his arms wrappe

The moment Eugene looked at Irene, something sharp twisted inside his chest.For half a second, their eyes met.Then she looked away.Just like that.No hesitation.No lingering emotion.She simply turned toward Arnold beside her, as if Eugene no longer mattered enough to hold her attention.The rejection hit harder than he expected.Anger rose fast beneath his skin.How could she look at him like he was nothing?Once upon a time, Irene used to watch him with warmth in her eyes. Trust. Love. Now she could barely stand to meet his gaze for more than a second.Do you hate me that much?The question burned inside him, but his pride refused to let the words leave his mouth.Without thinking, Eugene slightly lifted his hand toward her.Then stopped midway.Because suddenly, he understood something humiliating.She would not reach back.His jaw tightened hard.He made one mistake.One.And somehow, she had already moved on completely.Meanwhile, Arnold stood beside her looking entirely too

Something about Arnold’s smile made Irene instantly suspicious.“What do you mean, you can show me better?” she asked, confused.All she wanted was an explanation about his conversation with Eugene.But the teasing glint in Arnold’s eyes made it obvious he had no intention of answering normally.Still, Irene’s curiosity pulled at her.“What are you trying to show me?”Arnold only hummed softly in response.Then he leaned closer.His lips brushed against her cheek first.Slow.Unhurried.Another kiss landed near the corner of her mouth.Then one against her lips.Then lower, near her ear.Irene frowned slightly, still confused by where this was going, but she did not stop him. At this point, Arnold finding excuses to touch her had become almost natural between them.The man truly seemed incapable of keeping his hands off her.Not that she completely hated it.Still, the moment his hand slid over her chest and gently squeezed, Irene finally understood exactly what kind of “explanation”

The moment Eugene saw the blood, fear finally crushed through his pride.Nothing else mattered after that.Not the earlier argument.Not the humiliation.Not Arnold.Only Ruby’s pale face and the possibility of losing his child.Eugene immediately rode toward Arnold’s group without hesitation. Earlier, he noticed one of the lycan healers traveling with them. Reaching Arnold was faster than turning around and losing an entire day riding back toward his own territory.And deep down, Eugene already knew they did not have that kind of time.Panic clawed violently through him now.Followed closely by guilt.Because no matter how hard he tried to avoid the truth…this happened because of him.He hated admitting it.Hated that the woman bleeding inside the carriage was not Irene.Hated that the child in danger belonged to Ruby instead.But terror swallowed his pride whole.“Can your healer see my mate?” Eugene asked sharply the second he reached Arnold.He tried keeping his voice steady.But

Arnold allowed his healer to stay behind with Eugene.But he never once stepped toward Ruby’s tent himself.The birth came far too early.Anyone could see how bad the situation was becoming.Ruby’s body was already exhausted, but worse than that… her mind was breaking under the pressure too.Meanwhile, Eugene’s guilt grew heavier with every passing hour.The worst part was that he was not completely heartless.Not truly.That was what made everything uglier.Because Eugene always let emotion control him before reason could.Anger.Jealousy.Pride.Every terrible choice he made started there.Seeing Irene happy beside Arnold had pushed something unstable inside him past its limit completely.And now he hated himself for it.Hated what his life became.But instead of fully accepting blame, Eugene did what he always did best.He searched for someone else to carry part of the fault.Sometimes Ruby.Sometimes Arnold.Sometimes even Irene.Deep down, Eugene could not survive guilt unless he
