บททั้งหมดของ When Moonlight Came Too Late, He Regretted It: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

One corner of my mouth twitched in bitter amusement.My mate, standing right in front of me, defending another woman...Silas walked over to me, trying to smooth down my ruined hair."Sophia, don't be so petty. She was just joking around and went a little too far."My nails dug into my palms. It hurt, but nothing compared to the pain in my chest.The year the Silverthorn Pack was disbanded, I was the one who pulled Vivian from the rubble.Her pack had been absorbed, her parents killed at the territory border.After I put her through college, I could have walked away.But I couldn't bring myself to abandon her, so I asked Silas to give her a job at the company.Back then, Silas complained about her constantly, saying she didn't know how to do anything.She couldn't work the copier, booked flights at the wrong times, and kept losing track of contracts.Every time he brought her up, his brows would knot together."Sophia, this isn't a shelter. If she keeps causing problems, I'm sending he

Vivian's hair lay in heaps on the ground.She touched her bare scalp in disbelief, then bolted out to find a mirror.A familiar voice came from the doorway.Silas's shoes clicked on the floor as he pushed the door open, a large bouquet of lavender in his arms."You said last time that the lavender from the south slope smells better than the north. I picked these for you."I froze. I'd said that in passing three months ago.I saw my own reflection in his eyes, and then I noticed the red mark on his neck. It was impossible to miss.When an Alpha bit an Omega who wasn't his fated mate, the bite mark turned an irregular, angry red.Nausea churned in my stomach. I threw the lavender to the floor.Vivian burst in and stumbled to the floor, exposing her shaved head."Silas, help me."She sobbed pitifully."If Sophia wants me gone, I'll go. There was no need to humiliate me like this."Silas was visibly moved.His brow furrowed. "Sophia, how could you be so cruel?"She still has to meet with i

Silas visibly froze at my words.He'd assumed I'd lose it and use the family's power to hold them.But Vivian whimpered impatiently in his arms.Without a word, Silas turned and walked out with Vivian.Edmund came to my side and asked softly."My lady... are you really letting him go?"I watched the taillights vanish into the dark."Let him go, Edmund."When the pack was at war, I took that blade for him because he was my mate. Now that he's leaving with another woman's child, he's nothing but Silas Gray."I turned away. "Back to the main house."I took one last look at the brightly lit, now empty, estate."And notify Legal. Send every regional board member the expense records showing that Silas used company resources to support the other woman."After that, Silas never came back.Edmund reported that pack members had spotted them at a baby store.Silas had been helping Vivian pick out a crib.I kept my composure, signing company documents in the study.Notifications kept piling up on

Vivian's lips quivered as she shielded her belly."I love Silas, but I can't let my baby suffer because of me.""You want this baby to have every right to call Silas Dad, don't you?"Vivian looked to Silas for help."You promised our child a happy, complete family."I tilted my head and looked at Silas."Did you hear that? Your little girlfriend is begging you."The lawyer placed the divorce papers in front of him at just the right moment."Sign." I set the pen on top of the agreement."Do you really want to do this?" His voice went hoarse."Sophie..."It was my nickname, one no one had used in a long time.The last time I'd heard it was when he carried me into the emergency room, my body covered in blood."Don't call me that. You don't get to anymore."Silas stared at the pages, his fingers trembling.He wanted to fight back, to yell, to slam the table and demand to know who gave me the right.But when he finally looked up and scanned the room, the reality hit him.He had nothing. No

My life didn't change much after that.More and more contracts needed my approval.I was stretched out on the leather couch, rubbing my temples from exhaustion, when Lily burst in, excited, with good news."You'll never guess who I saw in the old district today. Those two cheating assholes, Silas and Vivian!"I turned my glass in my hands.Lily went on, clearly relishing every word.They'd moved again, to an even shabbier place with no elevator.Vivian could barely walk with her belly that big, yet there she was at the supermarket, hunting for marked-down produce.This was a woman who used to drink only imported water.Now she was standing in line at a public hospital for prenatal checkups.Silas had been going to job interviews at small firms in his old suit.But the moment anyone found out he'd been banished by the Lycaon family, they avoided him as if he carried the plague.The last time he'd tried to put prenatal vitamins on his tab, the pharmacy owner threw him out.He hadn't even
