Chapter 1

We hadn't been driving for long when Caleb suddenly pulled over in front of a coffee shop."Wait here."With that, he got out of the car.A few minutes later, he returned carrying two cups of hot chocolate.Without hesitation, Caleb inserted a straw into one cup and handed it to Elise."Here. I asked them to add crushed nuts, just the way you like it. The temperature is perfect, too."Elise took a sip and smiled with satisfaction."At least you remember my preferences."Caleb shook his head, a hint of helpless affection in his voice."My little princess, when have I ever forgotten anything about you?"Then he casually passed the other cup toward the back seat without even looking."Here. Yours."When I didn't reach for it after a couple of seconds, he finally turned around."What's wrong?"I looked at him calmly."I don't drink hot chocolate. And I'm allergic to nuts."Caleb froze for a moment before quickly explaining himself."I forgot about your allergy... We can't park here for lon

At two in the morning, I woke up shivering.My forehead was burning, and my throat was so dry that I could barely speak.I fumbled for my phone, intending to call the emergency medical hotline, but my finger accidentally tapped another number.When the call connected, I spoke groggily."Doctor, I have a fever, but there's no fever medicine at home. What should I do?"The voice that answered was Caleb's."Serena?"I suddenly woke up a little more and looked down at my screen.I'd called the wrong person."Serena, how old are you? Are you seriously still playing these childish jealousy games?"Caleb's voice was full of impatience."I know how healthy you are. You hardly ever catch a cold. And now, suddenly, you have a fever?""Is this because I bought Elise hot chocolate today?""If you want to lie to get my attention, at least come up with a believable excuse."I held the phone without saying anything.The fever made my head pound, and my throat felt so swollen that even explaining myse

John, the HR director, placed the judges' score sheets in front of Caleb.He casually flipped through them."Well, Serena's proposal is certainly impressive."Caleb spoke in a matter-of-fact tone.I quietly breathed a sigh of relief.At least he remembered how much effort I had put into this competition."But," Caleb continued, his tone suddenly changing, "I believe she still lacks experience in team management.""The Head of Potion Research needs to oversee the entire research team. Serena has only managed relatively small projects before. Promoting her directly to this position would be too big a leap."The conference room fell silent for a few seconds.John frowned and couldn't help speaking up on my behalf."Alpha, although Serena's previous projects weren't particularly large in scale, they involved developing potions for three different werewolf bloodlines and coordinating multiple research teams. She completed the project ahead of schedule and solved the drug resistance problem

Chapter 4

When I returned to my office, the first thing I did was submit my resignation.Although I had lost the competition for Head of Potion Research at Blackthorn Pack's research institute, my work had already attracted the attention of several other research centers.A while ago, I had received an invitation from the Silvermoon Research Center in the Northern Territory.They were offering me an independent laboratory and far better research conditions.Originally, I had hesitated.After all, Caleb was at Blackthorn Pack. That was where my home was.But now, I didn't want to hesitate anymore.I opened the email and replied.【I accept your offer. I can start earlier if needed.】Less than five minutes later, they responded.【Welcome aboard. We'll make the necessary arrangements as soon as possible.】Looking at the screen, I finally smiled for the first time in days.Then I began packing my personal belongings from the laboratory.I had spent countless days and nights here over the past three y

Caleb's POV"What did you say?"I shot up from the sofa, my voice turning icy.The Elder on the other end repeated, "Serena has officially canceled the marking ceremony. According to Pack regulations, once the application takes effect, the ceremony cannot proceed.""That's impossible."I instinctively rejected the idea.Serena had waited three years for this ceremony.Ever since we discovered we were fated mates, she had looked forward to becoming my Luna. She had even designed the moonlight crown for the ceremony herself.How could she just cancel everything?"Caleb, the Elders have already received her formal application. If you have any questions, you can contact her directly."I hung up and immediately dialed Serena's number.No answer.I called again.Still nothing.Elise was sitting on the sofa. She looked at me cautiously."Caleb, what's wrong?""Serena canceled the marking ceremony."She froze for a moment before putting on a worried expression."Is it because of what happened

Chapter 6

Caleb's POVSerena had practically vanished into thin air.I sent people to search every corner of Blackthorn Pack and contacted everyone who knew her, but I couldn't get a single lead.Her phone remained switched off, and even her colleagues at the research institute had no idea where she had gone.I even went to see the Elders in person.But all they told me was that Serena had completed every step required to cancel the marking ceremony. As for what she planned to do afterward, they had no authority to interfere.For the first time, I realized how little I actually knew about her life.Where she liked to go. Who she usually kept in touch with. Whether she had any interests outside potion research.I couldn't answer any of those questions.That evening, I had just finished a Pack meeting when Elise knocked and walked into my office."Caleb, why have you been ignoring my calls lately?"She carried a cup of coffee over and placed it on my desk.I didn't look up."I've been busy. If you

Chapter 7

Serena's POVIt had been five months since I joined the Silvermoon Alliance in the Northern Territory, and I finally had a laboratory of my own.The research facilities here were far better than those at Blackthorn Pack.Not only did I have an independent research team, but the Alliance had also equipped my laboratory with the most advanced potion analysis equipment available.During my first month, I joined a research project developing a new healing potion for werewolves.In the second month, the bloodline-based drug resistance improvement plan I proposed was approved by the Elders.By the third month, our project had made a major breakthrough, successfully reducing the healing time for injuries sustained by high-ranking werewolves.Last week, the research center officially appointed me as the project leader.I was no longer someone's fated mate or anyone's fiancée.I was simply Serena.A researcher who had earned her place through her own abilities."Serena, what are you thinking ab

Serena's POV"Serena."Caleb hurried toward me, barely concealing the excitement in his voice."I finally found you."I stopped and looked at him calmly.He seemed more worn out than I remembered. Dark stubble covered his jaw, and his eyes were bloodshot.But none of that mattered to me anymore."Can I help you?"Caleb froze for a moment."I've been looking for you for five months.""So?"He opened his mouth, clearly not expecting such a response."Serena, I know I've made a lot of mistakes."He took a step closer, his voice urgent."That day in the rain, I shouldn't have focused entirely on Elise and left you standing there alone. And when you had a fever, I shouldn't have hung up on you.""And the Head of Potion Research position... I wasn't fair to you. I've already instructed the research institute to rearrange the positions."I looked at him and couldn't help laughing."Caleb, do you think I left Blackthorn Pack just so I could wait for you to apologize?""No."He shook his head i

"Elise, what are you doing here?"Elise dragged her suitcase toward us, her gaze shifting between Caleb and me.Caleb released my wrist, his expression darkening."What are you doing here?"Elise bit her lip, and her eyes quickly filled with tears."I heard you came to the Northern Territory, so I wanted to come see you."Then she turned toward me, lowering her voice."Serena, I know you don't want to see me. But I still wanted to apologize."I said nothing."I was selfish before. I always used my poor health as an excuse and took Caleb's care for granted. I knew perfectly well that you were his fated mate, yet I kept looking for him whenever you needed him."She lowered her head, and tears slipped down her cheeks."What happened with the Head of Potion Research position was my fault, too. I shouldn't have accepted it, and I shouldn't have let Caleb break the competition rules for my sake."I looked at her without changing my expression."Are you finished?"Elise froze."Serena, I genu

Chapter 10

Caleb's POVOn the day I left the Northern Territory, I didn't go to see Serena again.I knew she wouldn't want to see me.After returning to Blackthorn Pack, I took charge of all Pack affairs again. My days were filled with meetings and paperwork.But sometimes, late at night, I still found myself thinking about her.I remembered how she used to sit in the living room waiting for me to come home. How she always remembered my dietary preferences. How she would occasionally look up from her work in the laboratory and smile at me.Those moments I had once taken for granted had become memories I could never reach again.Eventually, I began following Serena's news.Her research achievements continued to grow.Whenever the Silvermoon Alliance's official website announced the results of her latest potion development project, I was always the first to open the article.Whenever she gave an interview, I watched the entire video from beginning to end.For every important research presentation s
