Jaclyn's POVI really wanted to tear open this woman's chest and take a good look to see what exactly was on her mind. Or perhaps, she had no heart at all; it had long been devoured by some stray dog.Clearly a timid woman, yet a few words from her could infuriate me to no end.I didn't even care about it, but she was all focused on getting a divorce from me.How beautiful.When we got married, she was more than willing. Now that she's married to me, there's no way she can get a divorce.She talked to me about matrimonial law as if I wasn't familiar with it. I raised a sarcastic smile and said, "The pack's law states that if mates' wolves live separately for more than two years, it can be considered a possible condition for a broken relationship, provided that one party files for divorce. So, what's your intention? Are you going to file for divorce and take me to court, or are you going to sue Jacob?"Natash Yael kept her head down, biting her lip in silence.She knew very well that s
Natash's POV:As soon as I opened the door, I saw Sophia walking around in the living room, holding Perry and murmuring softly.It startled me.Perry was born premature, a month early, weighing just a little over four pounds.She spent almost half a month in an incubator.Her little face, small body, and weak breath made her look like a fragile and pitiable kitten, with a mouth so small it couldn't even hold a bottle.My breast milk was limited, and my overall care during that period wasn't great.The poor little girl often couldn't eat enough, lacked strength, and fell asleep with a bottle in her mouth, whimpering and twitching in her sleep.It got a bit better after three months, but at six months, she developed bronchitis. She had needles on her tiny forehead, and the pain in my heart was unbearable.I spent many nights holding her, rocking and comforting her. Normally, at this hour, a child would have been asleep, but holding her now likely meant she wasn't feeling well again.I h
Jaclyn's POV:I returned to Red Valley Pack overnight and sat on the terrace of the villa for the whole night. In the morning, I drove back to Red Moon Pack.I spent the night pondering but couldn't figure out why she didn't come back with me, just like I didn't understand why she left in the first place.For the first time in my life, I began to question my charm. Could she hate me so much that she wanted to avoid me for the rest of her life?The girl who used to be docile and obedient in my arms, now seemed to have grown bold. I even doubted whether I had been mistaken before; perhaps, if a rabbit bares its teeth, it could bite. Even if not fatal, it would still hurt.Then, I remembered the kiss in the hospital. Suddenly, I felt that she wasn't completely indifferent to me. The direct reaction she had, I could feel it.So why this inconsistency in her actions?I needed to figure this out. After a night of contemplation, I couldn't understand anything else, but one thing was clear—I
Annelie's POV"What now?" I felt a bit puzzled by these two. In fact, I knew about Natash·Yael's secret crush on Jaclyn·Dills for a decade.Natash·Yael was a reserved and stubborn person.Back when I was distressed by my inability to afford tuition and pulling my hair by the college lake, she approached me, softly asking about the reason.We shared a dorm, but for almost a semester, we hadn't exchanged many words.In my eyes, Natash·Yael seemed a bit aloof, and at the time, she was quite insecure.Here, she wasn't the celebrated top scorer in the pack's high school; she was just an outsider from a pack.It took me a while to realize that not everyone was kind and genuine. Some people were malicious, even contemptuous and mocking.In less than a year, I experienced it all. Just when I was losing hope and on the verge of despair, I met Natash·Yael.Although Natash·Yael would never admit it, she was my benefactor, showing me hope in moments of despair.This seemingly ordinary and reserve
Jaclyn's POVI'm really exhausted.Since meeting Luna until now, I haven't even closed my eyes. In fact, it's been almost two years, and I haven't had a good night's sleep.After Luna left, the initial anger gradually faded, and I felt a bit empty around me.I had gotten used to coming home to Luna waiting for me.Even if I returned late, upon entering the house, I could see the dim light left by Natash·Yael for me.Despite not being very bright, it always brought a different warmth to me. My heart was calm and at ease.Now that Natash·Yael is gone, the vast space seems to have lost its vitality. It's desolate and cold, and the atmosphere leaves my heart hanging in emptiness, unable to rise or fall.Unconsciously, this little woman has become so important to me, important to the point of being irreplaceable.I just couldn't see it clearly at that time, clouded by momentary anger.Enduring these two years without reaching out to her, every day and night, my heart has been in a tug of w
Jaclyn's POV Natash·Yael pursed her lips and lowered her head, contemplating how to deal with me. However, before she could respond, I urged her, "Open the door. Didn't you lose your keys again? Let me check." With a quick motion of my long fingers, I hooked her bag over my arm. As I unzipped it, I paused for a moment, surprised by its contents. While I may not have children of my own, the assortment inside—diapers, baby bottles, wipes, towels, spare clothes, snacks, and toys—resembled a treasure chest. Even though Luna's bag wasn't as fully equipped, the real concern was the presence of child-related items. I skeptically looked at Luna. She hastily grabbed her bag back, retrieved her keys, but hesitated before putting them in the lock. Turning to face me, she asked nervously, "What's going on?" I remained silent, narrowing my eyes. In the dim hallway light, they seemed to emit an unsettling gleam, increasing Luna's unease. Misinterpreting Luna's nervousness, my mind raced to
Jaclyn's POVWhen Natash·Yael finished speaking, my eyes grew colder. Her words ignited anger in me, and my gaze had frozen into an arctic glacier, with a dangerous rage akin to a volcanic flame.I never knew this woman could be so articulate. In my impression, she was always timid in my presence, speaking in a hushed and hesitant manner.I had never seen a woman so adept at using both reason and emotion. Unfortunately, she chose to reveal this side of her at such an inappropriate moment.I don't want to admit it, but at this moment, I have to acknowledge that she is determined to part ways with me.The memories engraved in my mind, those I often reminisce about when idle, have become unbearably bitter. I foolishly thought she still cherished our past, but she had long cast it aside.Natash·Yael's words have already stripped me of my usual wisdom and judgment. All I can think about is how she wants to separate from me.I have forgiven the past, but now she wants to leave me, and she s
Natash's POV:I watched Jaclyn·Dills' movements and mechanically moved closer.Jaclyn·Dills threw an onion to me, instructing, "Peel this first."I squatted next to the trash can on the floor, peeling the onion while tears welled up in my eyes, stealing glances at Jaclyn·Dills.I had never thought he could cook. For me, Jaclyn·Dills has always been the man standing on a pedestal, so elegant, noble, and dazzling.However, now, facing the everyday essentials, this usually glamorous man seems to have a touch of humanity.He is no longer aloof, but rather lively and approachable, making my heart pound.His movements were neither hurried nor slow, methodical and exceptionally skilled. Holding the peeled onion, I stood up, staring blankly at Jaclyn·Dills cutting vegetables.His fingers, long and perfect, were not only adept at playing the piano but also skilled at cutting vegetables.Jaclyn·Dills marinated the sliced beef, glanced at me, took the onion from my hand, skillfully cut it into e
