Chapter 8
At that moment, I was overwhelmed with guilt and self–blame, tears falling uncontrollably.
But he gently wiped away my tears, giving me a light smile.
“It’s fine, it’s just a scar. It won’t affect my good looks at all.”
My tears only flowed more freely. “Does it hurt?TM
Seeing me cry, he panicked, unsure of what to do. “I’m not hurt, I’m an Alpha, this is nothing. It doesn’t hurt at all. Please don’t cry, alright? I beg you, when you cry, it makes every part of me hurt…”
Back then, he didn’t hesitate to rush into a fire to save me
But now,
the one he would go to save without hesitation was no longer me
Later, our pack was suddenly attacked by rogues. As the Alpha and Luna, Thome’s parents fought to protect the pack, ultimately dying in battle overnight
At that time, we lost nearly half of the pack members. The pack was left without an Alpha or Luna, and Thorne lost the protection of his parents. He fell from the heights of power into the depths of despair.
I stood on tiptoe and kissed his tears away. “You still have me. I’ll be by your side, always.”
Without hesitation, I chose to rebuild the pack with him. While we didn’t yet have the opportunities to hold a mating ceremony, I let him mark me.
At that time, Thome loved me deeply and treated me exceptionally well
The pack was barely hanging on, everyone immersed in sorrow, but we still found moments of joy, hoping the pack would recover soon.
We built the pack house ourselves, rebuilt the territory, and every day, we worked hard to make ends meet, paying off the debts we owed for rebuilding.
The only way we relaxed was by running through the forest after shifting or watching the sunrise and sunset by the beach, because it didn’t cost a thing, but even so, I felt truly happy.
As long as I was with him, even if we just sat together quietly and did nothing, I felt completely content.
One night, he was drunk, holding my hand with a smile in his eyes. He pulled out a necklace with a golden heart–shaped pendant from his pocket and carefully placed it around my neck. “Take it, but just for now, because when we have more money, I’ll get you a better one.
Later, we really did have money, and I did get a better necklace, but my favorite one was still the thin one he had given me back then.
Everyone said Thore treated me so well. After all, many people would abandon their partners after achieving success.
But after all these years with Thorne, our relationship remained as strong as ever.
If it weren’t for Liora, 1 probably would have thought the same.
Maybe it was because I was still trapped in the beauty of the past, unwilling to accept that he had changed his heart.
And that gave him the chance to hurt me, again and again.
Fortunately, now I was finally awake, and I had completely let go.
The wedding began quickly, and I walked step by step towards the stage, stopping in front of Xander.
In front of all the pack members, Xander put his arm around my shoulder, preparing to mark me at my neck.
Just then, a loud noise came from outside. The closed door was suddenly pushed open.
“Wait!”
Then, Thorne, covered in blood, appeared in front of me.
“No one is getting married today!”
