Chapter 12
I should have known peace would not last.
Sienna returned.
My sister, with her soft, angelic features, her delicate laughter, her perfectly calculated helplessness.
Nathan had once promised me forever. But forever crumbled the moment she stepped back into our lives.
It started with excuses. Meetings, training, then staying out all night…….
One night, I waited for him, heart pounding in my chest, knowing–feeling–that something had changed.
And then I saw them. Nathan’s hands on her waist. His lips brushing against her temple.
A whispered “I missed you.”
My happily ever after completely fell apart at that moment!
My mate had betrayed me.
But the worst pain was yet to come. Because that was when Oliver fell ill.
At first, I thought it was just a fever.
But the fever never left.
His body grew weak, too fragile for a pup his age. The healers whispered in hushed voices, their
faces etched with sorrow.
He was eventually diagnosed with bone marrow cancer.
I clutched Oliver to my chest, his tiny frame so light, too light, as if he were already fading away.
The doctors warned me. “He might not have much time.”

Chapter 12
I called Nathan, my hands shaking as I tried to hold myself together
I told him our son was dying.
But he never came.
He thought I was lying. He thought I was using Oliver’s illnes to get his attention. My gala to
trick him back from Sienna.
That was the moment I realized–Nathan had never been my mate.
A mate would have fought beside me.
A mate would have never chosen another.
When Oliver took his final breath, my wolf let out a sound so hollow, so broken, that even the moon
wept.
Nathan was willing to give up everything for Sienna, and I never doubted that After all, he never
loved me.
To him, I was nothing more than a scheming woman, desperate to trap him by any means necessary. How could I ever compare to the pure, innocent Sienna?
I returned to the den from the cemetery. Though this place was meant to be our marital home, Nathan rarely set foot in it. Most of the time, it was just me and our son, Oliver. But now…
My wolf Tína let out a mournful cry and I fought back the pain in my chest and tried to soothe her. she was also saddened by Oliver’s passing.
I gently placed Oliver’s urn on the shelf and began packing my suitcase. Nathan and Sienna arrived just as I was about to leave. He held her in his arms, eyes full of urgency, walking past me as though
I didn’t exist.
“Sister, where are you going?” Sienna’s soft voice broke the silence.
Nathan finally stopped. Seeing my suitcase, he frowned and asked coldly, “What kind of game are you playing this time?” His tone was as icy and detached as ever, as if I were just an unruly servant
Sienna clung to Nathan affectionately, her cheek resting on his neck as she gave me an apologetic smile. “I stepped on some broken glass while filming, and Nathan said this place was close to the set.

He brought us here to bondage it. You don’t mind, do you, sister?”
It was just a small cut, yet Nathan treated her like fragile glass, gently placing her on the sofa and taking on the first aid kito tend to her himself.
Fremembered once, while ironing his suit, I had fallen down the stairs and broken my leg. His only Treponse was, “Too bad you didn’t die.” At that time, I was pregnant with Oliver–his child.
That’s the difference between love and indifference, My tears had long since dried up. I spoke calmly, “Nathan, 1 ogree?
el’s end the mate relationship.”
To be honest, I was never sure if we could even be considered a real couple.
Nathan just established a MATE relationship with me, but never gave me a formal Luna ceremony.
Without looking up from tending to Sienna’s bandage, he scoffed, “Is this another one of your tricks to get my attention? Since pretending your son is sick didn’t work, now you’re trying a different
