My Only Regret
Whenever the Alpha's little sister suffered an episode, my Luna ceremony would end in disaster.
On the first attempt, my wine was laced with honey, and I ended up having a stroke from an allergic reaction, with the entire pack laughing at me.
On the second attempt, I was stabbed three times in the stomach, rendering me infertile.
On the third attempt, a lunatic rogue wolf barged in and crushed every bone in my finger, cutting short my pianist career right then.
Whenever I tried to express grief, Yohan Schmidt would always take Eva Brown's side.
"She suffered mental regression to save me. Be the bigger person and don't hold it against her."
"Next time—the next ceremony will be perfect, I promise."
He made that promise 99 times over three years, and on the 100th attempt, Eva gave up on all pretense and set the wedding hall on fire.
I was burned to a crisp and had to heal for a month.
Through it all, Yohan nursed me and fed me a ton of medicine… until I overheard him talking to Andy King, the shaman. "You're truly ruthless, Alpha. She was thoroughly burned because she was trying to save you, but you're feeding her a suppressant that stifles her regeneration. Over time, she will succumb to her injuries!"
Yohan shrugged nonchalantly. "I just can't stand her bullying Eva. Eva saved my life—so what if Yvie Stark pays for it with my life?"
Tears rolled down my cheeks in silence.
So even his warmth and tenderness was nothing more than cold deception.
In that case, I should just leave.
