chapter 8

He frowned and walked into the kitchen, displeased. "I heard from my subordinate that you've been going out a lot lately, staying away all day?"

Mia had just finished making the soup.

She turned to see Yash and didn't answer his question. Instead, she smiled kindly, "You're back? Did you have fun traveling these past few days?"

Yash felt a bit dazed.

Under the light, her smile was as beautiful as a blooming flower, and it seemed to take him back to when they first met. At that time, he had been heartbroken and had no intention of loving anyone again.

But the moment he saw Mia's smile, his heart skipped a beat.

They had naturally made their vows in front of the Moon Goddess, pledging to be lifelong mates.

It had been six years.

What had changed him? What had changed Mia's image in his eyes?

Perhaps it was her weight gain during pregnancy, which had dulled the initial spark.

Perhaps it was the way she had struggled during childbirth, her screams completely lacking the grace expected of a Luna.

After giving birth, she spent all her time fussing over household and pack matters, becoming the kind of housewife he looked down upon.

Suddenly, Yash felt a pang in his chest. He pressed his hand against his heart, which throbbed painfully, making him anxious.

He grasped Mia's hand.

"Honey, let's not argue anymore. Can we make up?"

Mia stared at him steadily.

Her gaze was calm, like gentle water, but upon closer inspection, her eyes were icy.

She smiled and said, "Sure."

We can make up because I don't hate you, but I no longer love you.

From now on, I will leave, disappearing quietly like a dream, completely vanishing from your world.

On the surface, Mia and Yash appeared to reconcile.

Yash felt blissful. At that moment, he believed he was at the pinnacle of his life. He had a beautiful wife at home, a charming companion outside, and a well-behaved son. The entire pack flourished under his leadership.

This lifestyle is so wonderful! Charles howled with pride.

But there was one thing that troubled him. He sensed that Mia seemed to be hiding something from him.

Even though she was still kind to him, it felt different from before, like bubbles in the sunlight, beautiful but fragile, making him anxious.

Yet despite that, he felt satisfied.

He thought perhaps he had gone too far recently and hurt Mia's feelings. If he behaved well for a while and treated her kindly, the old Mia would surely return.

Meanwhile, Yolanda was consumed with jealousy.

She smashed everything in the house, unable to believe that she and Yash were supposed to be together, yet Mia had the ability to win him back.

As long as she's dead, you'll be Luna! Her inner wolf, Jessica, said fiercely.

Hearing that, a cold glimmer flashed in Yolanda's eyes.

If that's the case, then she should go to hell!

Yolanda dialed a long-forgotten number.

"Help me with something. If you succeed, I'll pay you three times what I offered last time."

Time passed quickly, and soon only one day remained before returning to the base.

After spending these days together, Yash gradually began to believe that Mia truly still loved him. Their relationship was no different from the past six years. The previous drama was just Mia throwing a tantrum.

His heart began to lighten.

Just then, Yolanda sent a mind link.

"Alpha, the Bluemoon Pack invited me to a masquerade ball, but I need a male partner to attend. I don't have one. Will you accompany me?"

He hesitated for a moment but then agreed.

That night, Yash accompanied Yolanda to the masquerade ball.

Meanwhile, Mia drove out but noticed a car stealthily following her.

This isn't good. There's danger. Years of evasion training allowed Alice to quickly sense the threat, and Mia understood immediately.

So when the other car suddenly crashed into hers, she swerved sharply, and the two cars collided, creating a blinding spark. Then she quickly reversed, using the terrain and her vehicle's advantage to trap them by the flowerbed.

Mia immediately shifted into her wolf form, the first time in six years.

At the sight of the towering white wolf, the person hiding in the car was instantly rendered speechless.

Perhaps he hadn't expected that the so-called useless Luna, who claimed to have no wolf, actually had such a powerful wolf form.

Mia smashed the windshield with a paw and dragged the person out, tossing him to the ground.

She angrily shouted at the trembling werewolf on the ground, "Who sent you?"

Seeing the cold light in the white wolf's eyes, the man stammered, "N-No one."

But Mia wasn't easily fooled. With a swift strike, she broke the driver's left leg, and he quickly confessed the truth.

Turned out Yolanda was behind that.

But that wasn't the most shocking part. What Mia couldn't accept was what the driver said next.
