The day she was discharged, the ward was empty.
Emily knew Simon had gone to find Clara again.
In three years of bonding, the days he had spent with her could be counted on one hand.
She was used to it, silently waiting for her immigration papers to be processed.
During this time, Clara’s social media was non-stop-
Skiing, hunting, sunsets… in the photos, Simon’s gaze was piercingly tender.
The latest post showed Simon’s long fingers adjusting Clara’s scarf at the foot of a snow-capped mountain, bending down to fasten it for her, while Clara leaned against him, smiling radiantly. The caption read:
[He promised to give me the whole world.]
Emily calmly scrolled past, as if looking at a stranger’s posts.
Three days later, the Pack Transfer Center finally called to inform her that someone from her new Pack was ready to pick her up.
She immediately took a taxi there, received her Pack Transfer Agreement, and then went to the law firm to collect the bonding severance notification and the Declaration of Disownment.
Everything was ready, she could finally leave this place completely.
Emily carefully folded the bonding severance notification and the Declaration of Disownment and tucked them into the innermost pocket of her bag.
Just as she zipped it up, her phone screen suddenly lit up.
Clara:”Emily, we need to talk.”
Emily:”What are you going to say?”
Clara:”You’ve took the position of an alpha’s mate from me for three years, shouldn’t you return it to me?”
A cold smile touched Emily’s lips. She replied directly:”Already returned.”
After sending the message, she threw her phone into her bag and walked home without looking back.
When she opened the door, the motion sensor light at the entrance hall didn’t turn on.
She frowned, groping for the wall switch, when a sharp pain suddenly struck the back of her head-
Before her consciousness blurred, she heard Clara and a man talking.
When she woke up again, a biting wind lashed her face.
Emily opened her eyes sharply, finding herself hanging from a cliff edge!
A rough rope dug into her wrists, and a bottomless abyss lay beneath her feet.
She turned her head with difficulty, finding Clara also hanging not far from her, pale and trembling.
“Awake?” The kidnapper stood aside, smoking a cigarette and sneering.”Don’t worry, your respected alpha will be here soon.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the roar of an engine came from afar.
Several black SUVs sped towards them, screeching to a halt at the cliff edge.
The doors opened, and Simon strode towards them.
He was wearing a black overcoat, his brow furrowed, and the air pressure around him was terrifyingly low.
“Here’s the money, release them,” his voice was low, carrying an irresistible command.
The kidnapper grinned.”Wow, that’s the alpha Simon’s speed. Efficient!”
He took the box from the bodyguard, confirmed the amount, waved his hand, and said, “They’re yours now, you can save them yourselves.”
Then, he left with his gang.

Emily hung in mid-air, the rope already loosening, and the loose stones on the cliff edge were falling one after another.
She gritted her teeth and trembled, longing for her wolf, but she was wolfless.
“Simon! I’m so scared!” Clara cried, her eyes brimming with tears.”Save me…”
The bodyguard quickly checked the ropes, his face serious. “Mr. Smith, the ropes won’t hold for long, we can only save one at a time.”
Simon didn’t hesitate for a second and went straight to Clara.
At the same time, Mr. and Mrs. Davis’s car arrived.
As soon as they got out, seeing the scene at the cliff edge, they cried out in alarm,”Clara!”
“Save Clara first! Quickly! She’s an fragile omega, she can’t take it!” Mrs. Davis’s voice was sharp, almost breaking.
Mr. Davis also rushed over to help. The three of them worked together, quickly pulling Clara up.
On Emily’s side, the rope was already making creaking sounds, about to break.
“Crack-
She suddenly fell down a section, the cliff stones tumbling down, disappearing into the bottomless darkness!
“Ma’am!”
A bodyguard dashed forward, shifting to wolf form, and bit into the rope with all his might.
The rough rope tore at his mouth, blood dripping down his cheeks, but he managed to pull her up.
Emily collapsed to the ground, her wrists bloody and raw. She looked up-
Simon was carrying Clara horizontally, gently wiping away the tears on her face, his voice gentle enough to wring out water.”Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
Mr. Davis was busy draping a coat over his adopted daughter, Mrs. Davis holding her face, examining it.”My darling, you scared Mommy to
death…”
It was ironic. Her mate, her parents, didn’t care about her as much as a stranger did.
Everyone was escorting Clara towards the car, no one paying any attention to Emily.
“Ma’am… the bodyguard hesitated.”Are you alright?”
Emily slowly stood up, brushed off the dust on her clothes, and suddenly smiled.
“Thank you for saving me,” she said softly.”Can you do me one more favor?”
She took out the documents she had prepared, the bonding severance notification and the Declaration of Disownment, and handed them to the bodyguard.
“Help me give these two gifts to my parents and Simon.”
The bodyguard didn’t look closely, nor did he ask, nodding and taking them.”Okay, I’ll deliver them right away.”
Emily stood there, watching the bodyguard approach Simon.
Simon didn’t even look up, coldly saying, “What time is it? I’m looking at a gift from her? Throw it in the car.”
Mr. and Mrs. Davis didn’t pay attention either, only comforting Clara.
“You’re scared, aren’t you? Mommy will take you home…”
The bodyguard had no choice but to put the documents in the car.
Emily watched this scene and suddenly smiled, her eyes burning.
It’s okay; sooner or later, they’ll see them.
She turned, and without looking back, walked towards the highway and stopped a taxi.
“Pack border, please.”
The door closed, and the engine started.
In the rearview mirror, Simon carried Clara into the car, followed by Mr. and Mrs. Davis, none of them looking back at her.

Emily looked away, gazing at the scenery swiftly receding outside the window, and gently closed her eyes.
It’s okay; from now on, her life will no longer include these people.
The taxi sped away, carrying her towards a brand new life.
