Chapter 0055
Alaric said, “Of course I remember. But it doesn’t matter anyway. I’ve realized something
He trailed off again, looking into the distance.
Here’s the revised line with the added question:
“Well, spit it out then. Don’t leave us in suspense…” Ryan said with a sarcastic yawn. ” What, did you only realize you loved Cara after she left?”
“…No.”
Alaric said firmly.
“I’ve realized that I was never in love with Cara, not really.” Alaric shook his head as he said this, as if coming to the realization all over again. “I feel deeply guilty about her, but that feeling was never love.”
“I’ll keep my promise–I will never fall in love with her.”
Cara’s POV
I let out the breath I’d been holding with a disappointed sigh.
Alaric is still the same Alaric as before.He’s the same Alaric that I once knew. Cold and harsh. Only focused on working hard for his pack.
He is still the same man who never understood love. Nothing will ever change him.
What else is there to say?
That’s the only thought in my head as I say goodbye to my brothers and walk into the coffee shop to meet my assistant.
“I’ve found someone for your next blind date! This one looks like it will be a very good match! Take a look at his profile,” she says to me, moving her laptop towards me so I can see better.
I look over at her computer screen and see the picture of a very handsome man. I look at his list of hobbies, and it seems like he and I have similar interests.
“He lives at the edge of Pack BloodyMoon territory, very close to Pack DarkWood.” My assistant adds, noticing the home address listed on his profile.
My body stills for a moment at hearing this.
“Is the date still at that restaurant?” I ask.

“No,” the assistant says. “He requested a café near his place. I heard he has a surprise prepared for you.”
“Sounds good. Then tell him I’ll see him tomorrow night.” I say.
I thank my assistant for her help as I rise from the table.
That’s actually good. Avoiding that restaurant means I won’t have to worry about running into Alaric anymore…
The next day, after work, I returned home and, for the first time, took my time getting ready.
I need a fresh start–Eathon and Mia need one too. A new boyfriend, a new dad.
“Why do you look so fancy, Mama?” Ethan asks me curiously as he watches me style my
hair.
“Your red dress is so pretty! It matches your hair.” Mia says.
“I’m going out to meet a new friend tonight. Auntie Ruby will be here soon. You two are going to have a fun night with Auntie Ruby!” I tell them.
“YAY!!” The kids scream happily.
I’m really so grateful to Ruby, I don’t know what I’d do without her. She’s definitely my best friend.
I’m applying some makeup powder to my nose when I hear my phone beep with a text notification. I look down and see it’s a text from my assistant giving the time and location for my blind date tonight.
As expected, it wasn’t the previous restaurant. It was a café located near the border between Pack BloodyMoon and Pack DarkWood
That café was one Alaric and I had gone to together before…
But today, I am sure I wouldn’t run into Alaric. He had already arrived at Pack BloodyMoon. According to the plan, he would be heading to the hotel, restaurant, and meeting rooms we had arranged for him….
I put my phone down.
“BEEP BEEP!” My phone buzzed again.
A new message appeared on the screen, making me widen my eyes in surprise.
“Today’s Evening News: Alpha King Alaric Grant of DarkWood has met with King Eamon. They are set to travel to the outskirts of the territory to discuss political matters….
….WHAT?!
