Chapter 7: Let’s Destroy It Together 

Lily crouched down and lifted the edge of her dress, exposing the ugly scar on her ankle for everyone to see. The room fell silent

But why is no one concerned if I’m hurt?” 

Her fingers gently traced the wound

It was a gloomy, rainy day, and the scar ached a little, but she was used to it by now

I’ve always wondered, who among you paid off the female prisoners, allowing them to do this to me? I have dozens of scars, would you like to see them?” 

They said it was Mateo, but Lily didn’t believe it. She was going to find out, in front of everyone, who was really behind it

When the rich girls saw the scar, they showed uncomfortable expressions. They were all pampered from a young age, never having endured such hardship

Was it you?Lily looked at Derek and Wren, quickly turning her gaze to Eliza. Or was it you?” 

Finally, her gaze swept over Mateo’s face and then coldly turned away

Seeing Lily expose her ugly scar to everyone, Mateo felt a strange sensation in his heart

Now, it seemed she didn’t care about him anymore, but a bitter feeling surged in his chest

For years, Lily had followed him, carefree

He had gotten used to it… 

Lily, please….stop talking. If it means that much to you, I’ll give up the title of the Foster family’s heiress,Eliza’s voice trembled as she held her head in her hands, interrupting Lily’s words

It’s my fault, all my fault. I shouldn’t have shamelessly stayed in the Foster family. I should have died in that wasteland three years ago.” 

But you suffered in prison? What does that have to do with me, or with Mom and Dad?Eliza’s voice grew shaky, her tears threatening to fall but still holding back

The people in prison are all scum. You brought this on yourself. If you hadn’t made a mistake, you wouldn’t have been locked up, and they wouldn’t have bullied you.” 

Mateo, you shouldn’t have saved me. You should have just let me die,she said, completely dismissing the suffering Lily had endured

Lily looked at Eliza with cold eyes. If someone truly wanted to die, they wouldn’t keep saying it.” 

Lily!” 

Mateo’s brows furrowed as he moved to protect Eliza, patting her hand gently before turning to Lily. I remember warning you before we came. Think before you speak. Do you know the consequences of causing such a scene today?” 

A bitter smile crossed Lily’s lips

Her brokenness, her exposing the scars she most wanted to hide, was just seen as making a scene in Mateo’s eyes

Yes, I’m making a scene. But you’re my fiancé Shouldn’t you stand by my side unconditionally? Mateo, what does it mean for you to protect other women in front of me?”

Chapter 7: Let’s Destroy It Together 

At Lily’s reminder, everyone suddenly realized

Wasn’t Mateo Lily’s fiancé? Why had he been supporting Eliza all along

In the three years Lily was gone, rumors had begun to swirl

Recently, whenever Mateo’s company had a bid, Eliza’s name was always involved, almost like she was the one handling it all

It seemed normal at first, but there were just too many instances where they appeared together

But because Eliza and Lily were sisters, no one thought anything of it. In high society, appearances mattered, and no one would consider something like this happening within their own family

However, with Lily’s subtle hint, everyone began to thinkdid Mateo and Eliza have something going on

The older sister seduced her younger sister’s fiancé

Goodness, what a scandalous plot

It was melodramatic, but it certainly caught the interest of the rich wivesgossiping hearts

High society wasn’t lacking in gossip, but fresh gossip was always the bestespecially when it involved the Gates family and the Foster family

Lily smiled at Eliza. I’ve always had the Foster family’s blood in me. Do you really need to give me the position of eldest daughter?” 

She slightly curled her lips, her eyes glittering with a spark

The longaccumulated emotions suddenly erupted. Lily walked to the decanter, her long fingers picking it up. So you think I drugged her, huh?” 

She took a big gulp from the bottle, the strong taste filling her mouth. Fine, I drugged myself. Are you satisfied now?” 

The strong, bitter taste spread across her mouth as the liquid spilled over her lips and onto her clothes

She took two more gulps and forcefully tossed the decanter in front of Eliza

The sound of the porcelain shattering echoed through the hall, the broken pieces scattered across the floor

And Lily, too, had shattered

The Perfect Pair

The Perfect Pair

Status: Ongoing

Part 1 – The Message That Shattered Everything

Aveline Russell’s peaceful evening ended the moment her phone buzzed.
One unread message changed her life: blurred photos of a hotel room, clothes scattered, a man’s familiar frame.
Her heart froze when she recognized the wrist—Jaxson Thorne, her mate of four years and Alpha of the Thornpeak Pack.
The date on the pictures was crueler still: it was their mating-anniversary night, the day he’d sworn they’d celebrate together.
He’d told her he was away on urgent pack business.
Now she understood the truth—his “urgent mission” had been an affair.


Part 2 – The Weight of Betrayal

For a long moment, Aveline couldn’t breathe.
Every memory—their first bond, his promises, his laugh—now felt like poison.
Her wolf spirit stirred in the back of her mind, restless and angry.
That instinct had always disliked Jaxson; she’d ignored it, blinded by love.
Now her wolf’s growl inside her head said what her heart refused to admit: He was never yours in truth.
Aveline exhaled sharply, tears drying into determination.
If Jaxson could betray her so easily, she would choose herself for the first time.


Part 3 – The Call of No Return

She opened her contacts and dialed a hidden number—the Bloodmoon Research Facility.
When the voice on the other end answered, she spoke calmly:

“I’ve decided to join.”
A stunned silence followed.
The official warned her what that meant: once inside the classified project, she would vanish from every record—no family, no pack, no past.
Her name, her life, her identity would all be erased.
“Are you ready to walk away from Alpha Jaxson?” the voice asked.
Aveline stared at a framed photo of them smiling together and whispered, “Yes. I’m ready.”
It was the first honest answer she’d given in years.


Part 4 – The Wolf Within

After the call, she sat in the dark, feeling her wolf awaken fully.
The beast within her—the same one Jaxson had mocked as too quiet, too gentle—rose with fierce pride.
It wanted revenge, but more than that, it wanted freedom.
For the first time, Aveline listened.
Her wolf’s steady heartbeat echoed through her veins, whispering that she was born for more than heartbreak.
She was still a healer, still a warrior, still a woman capable of rebuilding from ashes.


Part 5 – The Alpha Returns

Headlights flashed outside.
The front door opened, and Jaxson Thorne walked in as though nothing had happened.
He loosened his black tie, tossed his jacket on the hook—carrying the unmistakable scent of another woman’s perfume—and disappeared into the bathroom.
Aveline stood frozen.
Every sound—the running water, the creak of the floor—felt like thunder.
She wasn’t angry anymore; she was empty.
When he finally emerged in his robe, hair damp, muscles glistening, she realized how much power he once held over her.
That power was gone now.


Part 6 – The Perfume of Another

The air between them thickened with the scent of betrayal.
Jaxson smiled faintly, stepping closer.
“What’s with that look?” he asked playfully. “Miss me, babe?”
He wrapped an arm around her waist, his touch as casual as it was possessive.
Once, that warmth would have made her melt.
Now it felt suffocating.
Aveline stepped back.
The move caught him off guard; his brows furrowed.
“Are you upset again? Did someone bother you?”
He said it like a man used to being forgiven before the apology even began.


Part 7 – The Calm Before Goodbye

Aveline took a long, steady breath.
She could have screamed. She could have thrown the phone at him.
Instead, she turned to the drawer and retrieved a small locked box.
“Here,” she said quietly, handing it to him. “A gift.”
Her tone was so controlled that he almost smiled, thinking she’d finally softened.
Inside that box wasn’t jewelry or a token of affection—it was the legal document severing their mate bond.
Her signature glimmered at the bottom in dark ink.
For a heartbeat, she felt the invisible thread between them strain, preparing to snap.


Part 8 – The Wolf’s Decision

He looked puzzled, but she didn’t wait for his reaction.
She spoke evenly, her voice stripped of emotion.
“Four years, Jaxson. I gave you loyalty, trust, and love. You gave me lies.”
He opened his mouth to defend himself, but she raised a hand.
“No more excuses. You don’t have to explain the perfume, the late nights, the missing anniversaries. I already know.”
Her wolf stirred proudly at her strength.
This wasn’t the weak woman who used to beg him to stay.
This was the beginning of something new.


Part 9 – The Rebirth of Aveline

When Jaxson tried to reach for her again, she stepped aside.
His hand grazed the air where she once stood.
“You’ll regret this,” he said flatly, his pride pricked.
Aveline met his gaze without flinching.
“No,” she answered. “For the first time, I won’t.”
Her words cut deeper than any weapon.
Then she walked past him, out into the cold night, her wolf pacing inside her chest like a heartbeat of liberation.
In the distance, the moon hung low and red—an omen of endings, and beginnings.


Part 10 – The Alpha’s Fall, the Luna’s Rise

When Aveline closed the door behind her, Jaxson stood frozen with the open box in his hand.
He finally saw what she’d given him: the rejection papers that dissolved their bond.
The Alpha who thought he could own her had just been abandoned by the one woman who had ever loved him sincerely.
Outside, Aveline didn’t look back.
Tomorrow, she would join the Bloodmoon Research Facility, vanish from every record, and be reborn under a new name.
Her old life would die here tonight.
In its place, something stronger would rise—the woman her wolf had always known she could become.
Betrayed by her mate, freed by her pain, Aveline Russell walked into the dark with her head held high.
For once, the silence didn’t hurt.
It sounded like freedom.
