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
Jaclyn POVCatherine joined the television station as a reporter after graduation, leveraging her attractive appearance and smooth tactics to quickly rise to the position of overseas correspondent, receiving considerable recognition.Our real acquaintance began two years ago when I did an interview to enhance my alpha image.Catherine helped a bit, and I owed her a small favor. After inviting her for a few meals, we became familiar with each other.I am aware of Catherine's subtle intentions, not to mention her distant relationship with Natash·Yael.But in the grand scheme of things, Catherine is not my preferred choice.However, as a businessman, flexibility is crucial, and you never know when you might need someone, especially in the media. Therefore, socializing and mutual benefits are necessary.At this moment, I feel it's also time to give my Luna some space for independent thinking. Though she may be a bit slow-witted, I need her to understand and willingly return with me.In th
Jaclyn POVI really didn't expect that, after I finished my social engagement and returned from the club, within just three hours, this place was deserted.I rang the doorbell, but there was no response.A kind neighbor informed me that around 9 PM, Natash·Yael left with a large bag, meaning she took off right after I left. I said so much from the bottom of my heart, all in vain.It seems she chose to avoid me.Sitting in my car, my anger flared up, and I smoked several cigarettes in a row to calm down. However, even after reflecting on it, I couldn't identify the core issue.Opening the car door, I stepped out and leaned against the hood, staring into space.I kept staring for a long time until the sky began to brighten, but there was still no sign of Natash·Yael.The only glimmer of hope in my heart was extinguished.Suddenly, I felt like maybe I had been too good to her, reluctant to confront her and giving her time to adapt. It was unnecessary.Not only did she not appreciate it,
