In the hospital’s emergency ward, as the doctor attended to Aaliyah’s injuries, there was a knowing glint in their eyes, accompanied by a faint trace of barely noticeable contempt. “You ought to be more cautious next time. Don’t get too wild,” the doctor reminded gently.

Aaliyah flushed scarlet and could only nod sheepishly. When the doctor cast a glance towards the door and casually inquired, “Is the guy outside your mate? I’ve got some instructions for him.”

Aaliyah seemed to be stung and immediately raised her voice, stressing. “Yes! He’s my mate!”

I loitered in the corridor’s shadow, too afraid to step inside. The doctor’s knowing look and Aaliyah’s eager proclamation were like sharp needles jabbing at my heart. This continuous state of hiding and secrecy made me feel utterly exasperated.

After Aaliyah’s wounds were taken care of, on the journey back, she kept silent, her face marked with grievance and discontent. She had hoped to rekindle our romance, yet instead, she got hurt, and I didn’t even have the guts to stand by her side openly when she needed me

most.

“I’m sorry. I’ve been in the wrong recently.” I attempted to placate her, my voice laden with weariness. “But now that my grandmother has returned, the situation is rather tricky. We have to be on our guard. Don’t meet Nathan in the coming days, and let’s not get in touch for a while. Wait until things calm down.”

“How much longer do we have to live like this, always in the shadows?” Aaliyah’s voice quivered with sobs. Knowing she couldn’t force the matter, she resorted to feigning vulnerability.

“Thanks for your patience.” I clasped her hand, trying to sound as tender as possible, but inside, my heart was as frigid as ice, completely devoid of the affection I once held. All I could think about was Natalie, the serene profile of her face when she argued with me in the Thorn Pack’s meeting chamber.

Just then, when I was settling the hospital bill, I noticed a premium-level health maintenance plan for Alphas in my hospital account, which covered all physical function monitoring. I hadn’t purchased it. After making some inquiries, I discovered that Natalie had quietly bought it for me a month ago.

I thought back to once being swamped with nonstop pack business. I ate randomly, and later had alcohol at a social gathering-something that was tough on a werewolf’s body. It ended up causing a pheromone imbalance and sharp discomfort. Natalie had stayed awake the whole

Ever since then, whenever there was an important event, she’d accompany me as a Beta, taking the brunt of the drinks. She’d become a better drinker than numerous Alphas. To keep an eye on my well-being, she’d regularly schedule appointments with the pack doctor and personally ensure that I underwent all the necessary check-ups.

These efforts, which I’d always taken for granted, now rushed back, washing over me with a belated realization. I suddenly became acutely aware that what I’d lost wasn’t merely a submissive “mate,” but a profound, silent yet unwavering form of protection.

Natalie’s POV:

The following evening, the opulent Dome Hotel in Maritime City glowed with a warm, inviting light. A high-society cocktail party for werewolf pack representatives from various corners was in full swing.

I was decked out in a lavender, shimmery evening dress, holding a crystal-adorned clutch. A waiter showed me to a private VIP booth.

It was Fiona who’d arranged this. She’d informed me that the Sanchez family was hosting a cozy family get-together, and Miranda’s kin from the powerful Flemming family had traveled to Maritime City. The Flemming family was a well-known werewolf family with far-reaching business interests across different states. They were here to visit Miranda and, after hearing about Leonardo’s engagement, to meet me, his future mate.
