Chapter 1

Erina's POVAfter tucking my pup, Sofia Grayback, into bed, I returned to my room. I opened my laptop and began drafting my application to leave the Moonshadow pack.This year marked the seventh anniversary of my bond with Alpha Ryan Grayback, and it was also the year that I finally decided to let go of him.A light knock sounded at the door. I looked up and saw my six-year-old Sofia standing there with a tiny rabbit plush in her arms."Mommy, are we really going to leave the pack?" She looked up at me, her eyes filled with reluctance. "But Daddy—I mean, the Alpha hugged me tonight."She gently caressed the rabbit toy in her arm. It was the only toy that Ryan had ever given to her. She asked cautiously and hopefully, "Do you think that this means the Alpha is starting to like me?"I froze for a moment, dazed.In the seven years that I'd been Ryan's mate, he had never allowed our pup to call him "Daddy". He only allowed her to call him "Alpha Ryan".Once, when Sofia was two ye

News about Claire and her pup's return soon spread throughout the Moonshadow pack.Apparently, the last time she left the pack, she'd joined the Silverfrost pack in the north and never came back over the years. However, everyone knew that Ryan had never truly let go of her.Back then, Ryan and Claire were the most celebrated couple in the pack. In fact, they were about to hold their mating ceremony.But the day before it was supposed to happen, Claire suddenly fell in love at first sight with another Alpha from a different pack. So, she abandoned Ryan despite his protests and went after the other Alpha instead.That was how their relationship ended.Back then, I was just the pack's healer, and I often tended to Ryan's battle wounds. Over time, I gradually fell in love with him.Once, when Ryan was heavily injured and out cold for days, I was the one who kept vigil by his bed for three days and sleepless nights. When he finally woke up, he grabbed my hand and thanked me for my c

Sofia and I eventually made our way home. On the way back, she suddenly grabbed hold of my hand and asked quietly, "Mommy, can you ask Alpha Ryan to come to the parent-teacher meeting tonight at the preschool?"I paused in my tracks. After all, little pups like her wouldn't understand the subtle hints and signs between adults—she simply wanted to hold onto the hope of receiving her father's love.Throughout the seven years I'd been Ryan's mate, he had never once attended a single one of Sofia's preschool activities.But when I saw the longing look in her eyes, I couldn't bring myself to say no. So I took out my phone and texted Ryan."Sofia has a parent-teacher meeting tonight at her preschool. Are you free to attend?"As usual, Ryan never replied to my texts.Sofia lowered her head in disappointment and tightened her hold on the rabbit toy. A long while later, she asked, "The Alpha doesn't want to come, does he?"Then she smiled at me, acting sensible and pretending not to care

Sofia waved excitedly at Ryan. "Daddy! Daddy, I'm over here!"Ryan stood there, his pupils contracting slightly as his gaze fell upon her. "What are you doing here?"I froze in my tracks at once.He was the one who had personally agreed to attend the parent-teacher meeting tonight, yet his tone suggested we shouldn't have been here in the first place.However, Sofia didn't pick up on the coldness in his voice and ran over to him excitedly."Daddy! You're really here! I'm so happy!"Ryan frowned at once. "What did you just call me?"Sofia's smile froze. Then, she immediately corrected herself with practiced ease and exclaimed, "Alpha Ryan! Ms. Redclaw said that she'd be announcing the pup squad leader today! And it's going to be me!"She looked up at him with wide, expectant eyes. I knew that she was waiting to hear a word of praise from him. After all, this was the first time Ryan had ever attended one of her preschool activities.However, Ryan only glanced at her nonchalantly

Chapter 5

Third-Person POVSuddenly, Ryan could no longer sense Erina's presence. However, he thought it was one of Erina's tricks to get him to pay attention to her, so he didn't think much of it.Still, he couldn't deny that he had been neglecting Erina's feelings lately.He kept staring at his phone screen while in the pack's council chamber, his brows furrowing tighter by the second.Last night, he had rushed over to Lily's as quickly as he could, but he later realized she had simply been hungry and wanted to eat honey cake. Claire had to soothe and placate Lily for a long time before she finally smiled again.As Ryan stared at the happily smiling Lily, he suddenly thought of Sofia.Sofia had also been hoping he would walk her home last night, but he ultimately abandoned her and Erina and went to Claire's instead.An inexplicable sense of guilt rose in his chest.He figured Sofia would probably be very happy if he brought her to her favorite dessert shop today."Ryan."Claire's voi

At that thought, Ryan suddenly felt a pang of regret. He looked at Claire again, a trace of impatience creeping into him."Leave for now. I'll handle the rest," he snapped.Claire was stunned. Clearly, she hadn't expected Ryan to suddenly treat her like this."Ryan…""Leave." Ryan's voice turned ice-cold.Left with no choice, Claire bit her lower lip and turned to leave.The council chamber turned silent once again. Ryan leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, but images from years ago involuntarily flooded his mind.Seven years ago, Erina had been nothing more than an ordinary healer in the Moonshadow pack. She possessed neither a powerful bloodline nor a distinguished family background.Back then, when she had just become Luna, she wasn't even adept at handling the pack's affairs. Yet after becoming his mate, she gradually became the most indispensable wolf in the entire pack. The first time he brought her to a council meeting like this, Erina couldn't even keep track

Chapter 7

Ryan comforted himself, thinking that Erina and Sofia probably just hadn't come home yet.He went into the kitchen and headed for the refrigerator to grab an iced drink. When he closed the door, his gaze suddenly landed on the refrigerator door.It was covered in drawings, mostly pictures of the three of them together. However, every drawing was missing the father figure.Ryan suddenly felt as though something pricked his heart.He suddenly remembered the first time Sofia came up to him with her drawing paper. She stood at his study door and asked timidly, "Alpha Ryan, can you be my model?"He had been busy dealing with pack affairs that time and replied without even looking up, "I'm busy. I don't have time."Sofia had left in disappointment.Ryan didn't think he'd done anything wrong back then, but now that he thought about it, a pang of regret and frustration hit his chest.He comforted himself, thinking it was fine. He would just say yes the next time Sofia asked him to mode

Chapter 8

As Claire studied his expression, a hint of grievance crept into her voice. "Ryan, they're just toys. We'll just have Lily apologize to Sofia. Won't that do?"Ryan looked at her. "These toys were prizes that Sofia won in the preschool pup competition," he said in a light voice, but it was enough to make Claire's heart clench."Did you think that a simple apology would be enough to fix it?"Claire didn't know what to say.However, Lily yelled defiantly, "I'm never apologizing to her!" She stood with her hands on her hips, glaring indignantly as she yelled again, "Why should I have to apologize to her?"Ryan frowned. "What did you just say?"Lily flinched, but she continued yelling at him. "She shouldn't be living here in the first place! Mommy said that she stole your Luna spot from her and stole the home that should have belonged to me!"Ryan's face turned dark at once. "Who told you that?"Lily stepped back in fright. Claire tried to stop her from speaking anymore, but Lil

Ryan gritted his teeth and pressed, "Why did nobody tell me about something as important as this?"The Elder in charge of the pack's administrative records was stunned."Alpha, you were the one who said that Luna Erina was just an ordinary healer, and that all her affairs should be handled according to standard pack protocol. You said that there was no need to report them to you either."When she submitted her application to leave, she seemed pretty adamant about it, so I processed it for her right then and there. Is there a problem, Alpha?"Ryan's fist clenched tightly as he listened to the Elder. He suddenly realized he didn't actually know much about Erina. He also thought she and Sofia wouldn't be able to leave the Moonshadow pack, and that they would always be waiting for him at home no matter what.But now, he didn't even know where they'd gone.Ryan didn't say anything more and turned around to look at the house that used to be their home. This was the first time he'd wa
