Chapter 1

Vera's POV"Ms. Sinclair, are you sure you want to accept the Frostfang pack's research mission?" Charlie Hudson, the council member, asked excitedly over the phone. "The herbal research program really needs an expert like you to help us make a breakthrough. It's a great honor to have you on board.""Yeah, I can join, but I have a condition.""I'm listening.""I need you to cooperate with me in staging an accident." I glanced at my pup, Remus Sterling, who sat beside me eating dinner, and lowered my voice. "When my pup and I are out, rogues attack us, and my car goes off a cliff. I need to create the perfect fake death."Charlie sounded incredulous. "Ms. Sinclair, pardon me for being frank, but we all know how much Alpha Silas loves you. He also loves your pup very much… We don't understand why you would make such a request.""If you agree to it, I'll sign the deployment agreement now. The Frostfang pack wants both my knowledge and the patented herbal formulas registered under my

It was late at night. I was about to call it a night after showering when the door to my bedroom was pushed open.Silas walked in, smelling like alcohol. He looked cheerful and seemed to be in a good mood."Go sleep in the other room." I sat on the edge of the bed. I didn't look up at him. "And don't wake Remus."Silas slowly walked over to me, crouched down, and placed his hands on my knees. He looked up at me."Vera, are you upset?" He sounded apologetic. "I know it's our anniversary today, but I'm really not free. I'm sorry that I didn't get to spend time with you and Remus earlier."He seemed so sincere, his face full of affection and his eyes filled with guilt.If I hadn't discovered those secrets, I would've believed that he truly loved me too.He leaned in, wanting to kiss my lips. The moment he moved closer, a strong scent hit me. Although the smell of alcohol masked it, my sense of smell was simply too sharp.It was Eva's scent.I turned my head, and the kiss that was

When I got up in the morning, Silas had already returned home. He sat at the dining table, drinking coffee and flipping through the documents in his hands."Good morning, Vera." Silas got up, came over, and kissed my cheek."Did you manage to settle yesterday's matter?" I asked calmly."Yeah." He looked down, not daring to meet my eyes, his voice quiet."Oh, by the way, since we won the battle with the Moonshadow Pack, I plan to have a party tonight. You'll come with me, okay?"He glanced at me, waiting for me to agree.Traditionally, the Luna had to attend any victory celebration. If I didn't show up, it would only fuel gossip throughout the pack and make Silas suspicious.Besides, this was also my last chance to confirm my escape route."Sure," I replied."Great." Silas smiled.That afternoon, when I arrived at the party with Remus in my arms, Eva was sitting at the dining table, looking around anxiously.The moment she saw Silas walking over with me, she shot to her feet.

I dragged my suitcase out from underneath the bed and began to pack my things."Mommy?" Remus toddled along behind me, looking up with his face. "Are we going out to play?"I crouched down and looked at him. "Yeah, Remus. We're going somewhere far away. Are you willing to come with me?""Of course." He threw himself into my arms without hesitation. Then he paused, as if recalling something, before casually asking, "Will Alpha Silas be joining us?"I caressed the back of his head. "No, it's just you and me.""Okay." He nodded eagerly. "Let's go."It suddenly hit me that I couldn't remember when Remus stopped calling Silas daddy and changed it to Alpha.I put him to bed, but the phone on the bedside table kept vibrating, its screen lighting up and going dark again and again.Unable to take it anymore, I reached out to grab it.It was a series of text messages from Silas."Vera, it's your birthday tomorrow. I'll send a car to pick you up at noon. I prepared a birthday party and

Third-person POVInside the villa garden, Silas stood beside the table, carefully checking the party setup.The red wine on the table was Vera's favorite. He had personally asked someone to bring it back from a winery overseas. Beside it were flowers, roasted meat, and a cake.The basket was stuffed with new toys for Remus, including a carousel horse, a train, and a set of colorful building blocks.Silas also had a box in his pocket, with a custom-made ruby ring inside.He had noticed that Vera had removed her Moonstone engagement ring a few days ago, so he assumed she was tired of wearing the same old thing and decided to give her a new ring today."Vera will love it."A satisfied smile appeared on Silas' face as he scanned the scene before him.He knew he had been neglectful of his family recently, focusing his attention on territorial matters and Eva.And Silas felt a little guilty about that. He took a deep breath and planned to make it up to them today.He glanced at the

There were no funerals for Vera and Remus because Silas refused to sign their death reports.He locked himself in his room for a whole week without stepping out of the house.Silas sent the territory's most elite tracking team to conduct a thorough search below the cliff. However, a week passed, and no good news came."Alpha, we only found the burned car below the cliff. There was nothing else."Silas sat in the dark room, his hands clutching the death reports. His eyes were bloodshot. He stared at Charles' signature as an absurd thought formed in his mind.He shot to his feet.Something wasn't right. There were too many unanswered questions.There was no trace of blood below the cliff, only the car. If Vera and Remus had really been attacked by rogues in the car before it went over the cliff, how could there be no blood?Besides, he had checked the patrol records before this. There had been no warnings of rogues near the territory on Vera's birthday.Most importantly, Charlie

Chapter 7

Vera's POVI had been with the Frostfang pack for six months. Besides being a renowned herbal medicine expert, I also became a visiting professor in the herbal medicine department, teaching classes and giving lectures at the academy every week.I spent the rest of my time with Remus.This afternoon, I had just finished the lecture and pushed open the classroom door when I saw Lucian Wilde waiting for me at the door, hand-in-hand with Remus.He was the Alpha of the Frostfang pack. Tall, muscular, and with the distinctive gray eyes of a Northland werewolf, he looked especially warm when he smiled.When I first arrived here, he showed me around the territory and helped me get familiar with the place. He was also the one who strongly recommended me for a teaching position as a professor at the academy.When I was busy teaching and researching, he accompanied Remus, took him out into the snow to practice tracking, and played with him. When Remus got sick, he was also the first to noti

"Sir, you're disturbing us." Lucian stepped forward, unleashing the powerful presence. "Leave now."Silas stared at Lucian, his jaw tightening. Yet he knew he was in no position to fight back now."Don't come here again, Silas. We don't welcome you." I turned around, not wanting to look at him again.He gave me a long look, then turned and pushed the restaurant door open. He walked out looking utterly humiliated.Lucian and I exchanged glances, but he didn't ask me anything.He just sat back down and used his cutlery to cut the ribs on Remus' plate into smaller pieces, acting as if nothing had happened.That night, after taking his shower, Remus sat on the carpet and played with the building blocks Lucian had bought him. Then he suddenly lifted his head and looked at me, his big eyes bright. "Mommy, I really like Lucian. I think he can be my daddy."I froze but didn't say anything. I just reached out and ran my fingers through his soft hair.Remus was almost five years old, and
