Chapter 6
In the afternoon, feeling a bit gloomy, I decided to find Pack Doctor to chat, taking along a fruit basket that a friend had sent for him to share.
As I walked down the hallway with the basket, I heard a familiar name.
“Is a family member of Liora Granger here?”
The name struck me like a bolt, and I quickly lifted my gaze toward the source of the voice. The man responding was none other than Alpha Dorian Kingston.
My mind went blank, and I stealthily followed him.
I trailed him to the door of a patient’s room.

At thatatooment, my emotions were a chaotic i

I knew it was sebetrayal, yet i still felt compelled totwwitness the pain.
Could following bihiro change the reality of the past?
Whether I confronted dinim there or quietly left, the one who was alalways hurt was me.
Just then, a nurse approached me and asked if I was a family memberofaththe patient.
I nodded quickly, lowering my voicicepto inquire about Liora Granger’s conditition.
It turned out she had returned iniththalate stages of cancer; her time was running out.

After the nurse entered, I didn’t have time to hide. The scene of Alpha Dorian Kingston tightly embracing Liora Granger unfolded before me.
Liora was crying pitifully, while Alpha Dorian gently patted her back in comfort.
The visual impact deeply pierced my heart.
Alpha Dorian Kingston and I were, in many ways, well–matched.
He was the future Alpha of the Black Spine pack, and I was the only daughter of the Alpha of Silver Fang.
But I was not his destined mate.
I knew that at his eighteenth birthday ceremony, he had quickly found his fated mate, Liora Granger.

Even through litora was just the
lowest ranked omega of the Black Spine e pack..
I heard thattyears ago, Alpha Dorian Kingston had pubitaly declared his love foror her in all the media and even sent 999 roses to her home via private jet.
Until three years ago, when the Black Eagle pack attacked Alpha Dorian Kingston’s pack while he was on a date with litora Granger.
His parents were retreatinggumder heavy fire.
My father happened to be passing with his pack and stepped in to save them.
In the end, his parents perished, hee was gravely injured, and Liora Granger mysteriously vanished.

When we first met, I cautiously helped him up, but he coldly refused, saying, “I don’t need your pity”
I didn’t take it to heart and gently told him that my father was a good man and we just wanted to help.
I had fallen for him at first sight.
Initially, my father only intended to save a life, but at my request, Alpha Lane, the Alpha of the Silver Fang pack, agreed to lend him money over the next three years to help rebuild his pack, train them to become stronger, and restore their morale.
His demeanor towards me gradually shifted from indifference to acceptance.
Meanwhile, Liora Granger remained

completely out of touch; perhaps he missed her and wanted to search for her, but the need to rebuild his pack held him back.
I once asked him whether he could forget Liora Granger.
He replied gently, “Liora was with me throughout my adolescence, filled with beautiful memories. I can’t forget her, but I love you now, and I will walk through life with you. You are my only Luna!”
I was deeply moved; I thought he had genuinely fallen for me.
But on my eighteenth birthday, I discovered he was not my destined mate.
I cried bitterly, and he held me close, soothingly saying, “I love you; the Moon Goddess will bless us.”

With that, he comforted me like he had Liora in the hospital room.
Just last month, he had marked me, and we were set to marry next month. If all went well, we would welcome our little wolf cub in ten months. But now…
I touched the mark on my neck, trying to convince myself that he was simply caring for a dying person as an old friend.
My wolf, Phoenix, urged me in my mind, “Pull yourself together and confront Alpha Dorian Kingston!”
But before I could muster the courage to step inside, Alpha Dorian Kingston spotted
- me.
“Celine Vaughn, what are you doing here?

Were you following me?” he demanded, his penetrating gaze sharp.
Since he had noticed me, I had no choice but to walk in.
Upon seeing the small fruit basket in my hands, his expression darkened, and with an impatient tone, he said, “Celine Vaughn, now that you know Liora Granger has returned, you must understand her condition. As Luna, is it too much to bring her a simple fruit basket?”
I stared at him in shock; over the past three years, since he accepted me, he had never spoken to me in such a tone.
That one phrase, “too much,” stabbed at my heart like a knife.
I clenched my fists, holding back tears, and

glared at him, speechless.
He stepped closer, his demeanor cold. “I’ve been too busy lately to mention it, but our wedding will be postponed. Liora’s situation is dire, and I want to give her a wedding first, using what you had prepared.”
I stood there, utterly dumbfounded.
Liora Granger’s critical condition meant my wedding would be given to her?
Was this some sort of cosmic joke?
“Miss Vaughn, please don’t blame Alpha Dorian Kingston; he’s just trying to help me. This was a promise he made to me many years ago, Liora Granger said, her innocent eyes brimming with tears as she looked at me. “I won’t fight you for him; I just want to fulfill a wish.”

I didn’t know how to respond to their unreasonable demands.
And I couldn’t remember how I left the hospital room.
All I recalled was Alpha Dorian Kingston telling me as Luna to broaden my perspective.
And that he told Liora that she shouldn’t eat cheap fruit, then, in front of her, snatched the basket from my hands and tossed it into the trash can.
