“You look breathtaking”
Jerral lowered his head whispering against my ear. I couldn’t help but smile at his compliment. The moment he laid his eyes on me earlier, I saw the satisfied look in his eyes which made me realize that I’m really beautiful. How can I not be beautiful when he customized this dress for me? A beautiful tea length white dress. with lilac floral patterns on it which has tie straps as well as fits my b*dy very well. So how can I not look beautiful with this kind of amazing dress on my b*dy?
“Thank you. I love this dress.”
I wrapped my hand around his strong arm. With my action, he glanced at me with warmth in his eyes. Whenever I see him looking at me like this, it really hurts me. I am aware of his feelings towards me but I pretend that I don’t know because I don’t have a heart for another man. This hurt me for real. Knowing that he wants to be with me and start a life with me. He doesn’t even care about the fact that Luan is not someone else’s child. He just treats my son as if he’s the real father and that is so painful.
“I love that you love it.”
He muttered with a smile and then opened the door of the car for me. Once I got in, he also got in before driving away. It took us some time to reach Alpha Kendrik’s mansion. I just can’t wait to see the bride tonight. I want to see what she looks like. I can be sure that she will be so beautiful and happy. “Let’s go in…” Jerral opened the door for me once again. I came out of the car snaking my hand around his arm as we walked into the mansion. Everything was decorated beautifully. I’m already impressed by these beautiful flowers everywhere.
“Are you interested?”
Jerral questioned me with a teasing smile. Of course I’m interested and curious. I didn’t wait to nod my head. Then he let out a chuckle and tucked a short piece of my hair behind my ear.
“As long as you are willing, I will give you a better wedding than this. I promise” his words had my heart flinched. I chewed my lower l*p as my mind forcefully dragged me to the wedding I had three years ago. The most beautiful wedding along with the most beautiful dress. It was the wedding that every girl would dream for. I was lucky to have it but…
‘Don’t! Don’t think about it and cry!‘ Before I could shed tears, my wolf hissed at

- me. Every time I thought about the past it hurt both me and my wolf. My wolf hates the pain because she was so done dealing with everything. She trusted her mate the most but her trust was broken by him with that rejection. Listening to her, I threw the thoughts of my past aside and focused on Jerral. I know he’s willing to marry me but how can I do it? He deserves much better than a single mother like me.
“Alpha Knet, so glad to see you. Thanks for accepting my invitation and coming for my daughter’s day” both of our attention fell on Alpha Kendrick. He was smiling brightly at us. I sighed in relief. It’s so good that the topic sl*pped away. I just don’t want to talk about that topic with Jerral.
“How can I not come for the wedding of my father’s best friend’s one and only daughter?” Jerral said with a kind smile. His words could easily satisfy Alpha, Kendrick. After a while, we went to the hall where the wedding was happening. I really enjoyed seeing the beautiful fresh flowers everywhere.
“Give me a moment Emily, I’ll talk to the groom and come. Two minutes would be enough*
Oh… why did I forget that the groom is a good friend of Jerral? Once Jerral walked away, I paced near the red roses filled flower vase. My mind kept telling me to pull a flower out but I didn’t do it thinking it would be disrespectful towards the bride. I know that is unreasonable but I shouldn’t do something like that. I will just get a flower after the wedding is over.
When my mind was busy thinking about flowers, a familiar scent caught me. A familiar scent which made my wolf whimper. Not only my wolf but also my heart began to whimper. The heartbeat began to thump and my b*dy completely froze. This scnet… how can I ever forget? I felt my eyes getting moist and my hands trembling.

‘Breath… breath… breath…..
My mind screamed but I couldn’t even thinking about breathing. However, I could feel that I’m going to suffocate anytime soon. The pain I was trying to forget for years are back in me within a flash and now stabbing my heart brutally. I watched Lucias thinking how small this world is. He’s the least person I ever wanted to meet

and now he’s in front of my eyes. And looking handsome as ever. I immediately lowered my head not allowing myself to stare at him like this. Please… moon. goddess… let me run away… my inner self begged.
“Lucias…did
you see that little boy? So cute… look”
My mind exploded when I heard a woman’s voice. I hated it and I wanted to stop it but my b*dy acted without my will as I raised my head and looked at the woman who’s wrapping her hand around his arm while giggling. This… I couldn’t help but look at her fingers… of course, there’s a ring on her finger. She must be his wife. 1 had no words to describe the heartbreak I’m experiencing right now. It felt as if someone was pouring a pot of lava to my heart. Not even ashes would be left. I controlled… I controlled my tears and glanced at Lucias for a second. He’s looking
at me.
‘So you married another woman after ruining my life?‘ that was the only question I had in
my head. And that was the only thing I could ever ask from him. I felt weak. I felt my b*dy getting weak and the pain of rejection acting up inside of me. I almost died enduring his rejection that day. I almost killed myself failing to go through that heartbreak and forget him but I am still alive all thanks to the child.
“Look… we should have a son like him.” The woman said again. I know… I know that my heart is already bleeding with these deep cuts but I managed not to show anything. They are together… How wonderful was the man I loved? Where did I go wrong to be rejected by him for nothing?
‘Can… can we… just… walk away?”
My wolf’s weakest tone altered me. Yes… we should… we should walk away.. We shouldn’t be near this man. But I felt like I couldn’t even walk. I felt dizzy and I gripped my dress tightly, enduring the dizziness and trying my best not to fall in front of him. I shouldn’t… show him that he still affects me and I’m still in love with him.
“Wait.. isn’t this Emilina? Emilina Winter? The girl who was kicked out of the mansion after wedding night?”
I could barely remain standing hearing what the woman said. I looked at her and then moved my eyes to Lucias again. “The girl who was kicked out of the mansion after wedding night?‘ Is that how people address me there? My heart was torn apart once again. I couldn’t help but look at Lucias’s who was still looking at me with same surprised eyes.
Lucias… say something. Is this her?”

Chapter 2
Of course… It’s me. The girl who was rejected after the wedding night.
* 57%
The girl who he brutally broke heart. I looked away from Lucias. My mind recalled everything that happened between us. My mind began to recall the words he threw at me as soon as I woke up n*ked in his bed after getting exhausted by him all night without a sleep. When I thought about those things, I felt my heart was aching for me. I felt pity for myself. I was pitiful and innocent but he just used me.
The heaviness in my chest grew harder. The pain had already spread everywhere through my blood already while my b*dy was unable to move. I stood there helplessly and humiliated for once more. I wanted to cry so loudly but I refused to shed tears in front of him. I don’t want him to see me still crying for him. But no matter how strong my thoughts are, my heart is the weakest thing in this world. It never wanted this to happen. I wasn’t ready to face him. Why… Why did the moon goddess do this?
“Emily…”
I sighed in relief when I heard Jerral’s voice. I immediately looked at him. His face changed when he saw me. He hurried her steps towards me and held me without a hesitation. I could do nothing but lean against his chest. I want something to depend on. I can’t feel my b*dy anymore and I have no strength in me. I don’t think… I can even walk now.
“You okay? You look pale… may I take you home?” He suggested picking me up. I sn*ked my hands around his n*eck with a small nod.
“I wouldn’t have taken you here, if I felt that you were sick. I’m so sorry. Let me take you home” He hugged me against his chest tightly. I buried my face against his n*eck but my nose was still filled with Lucias’s strong scent. His scent is something that created scars in me and I will never be able to fight it or let another man’s scent take over it. This will be the only thing for me until I die.
The heaviness in me became worse as I felt I’m going to faint within a few seconds.
