Chapter 3

How did I answer him?

My eyes were probably red.

I asked him what I meant to him.

He sighed and pulled me into his arms.

"You are my future Luna.

She is just a sick little sister who needs care."

"How can you be jealous of a patient?"

I took a deep breath.

I tore the tickets to pieces and threw them into the fireplace.

I walked into the bedroom.

I pulled out my largest suitcase.

No hysteria.No tears.I was perfectly calm.

I packed the things that belonged to me,one by one.

A set of men's light combat armor hung at the back of the closet.

It was the year Kyle became Alpha.

I leveraged my status as a Moon Priestess.

I begged the elders for three months to get this protective light armor for him.

His eyes had turned red with emotion back then.

He promised he'd wear it forever.But now,the armor reeked of Elara's sickly sweet pheromones.

I took the armor down.

He had also given me wolf fang pendants as symbols of his cheap love.

I tossed the armor and pendants into a trash bag.

My communication crystal pulsed with light,interrupting my packing.

It was a mind-link message from Kyle.

"Elara drank a healing potion and fell asleep.

I'm staying at the Sacred Stone Altar with her tonight.I'm not coming back."

"Change the bedding in the master bedroom.

I'll bring her back tomorrow.She likes it clean."

I stared at those two lines for a long time.

I didn't reply.I closed the message and contacted a broker about a territory trade.

"Mr.Grey,I inherited a woodland with a Moon Spring from my mother.

It belongs to me.I need to sell it fast.I'm willing to drop the price by 30 percent.

If the buyers are from neighboring packs,it should be a hot sale."

I hit send and placed the crystal face down on the table.

The sky was gradually turning bright.

I zipped up my suitcase,the zipper clicking crisply.
