After recovering, I returned to the house I had once shared with Alpha Dorian Kingston.
Everything in the house was arranged just as it had been on the day I left, dust accumulating on the floors and tables.
It was clear that Alpha Dorian Kingston hadn’t returned; he must have been living in Liora Granger’s former love nest.
We bought this place after our careers began to flourish, and I personally oversaw its renovation, choosing all the furnishings and decor myself.
Back then, he had refused my requests, claiming he was too busy with work, saying that because he loved me, he trusted my

judgment.
Looking back now, it seems clear he didn’t love me at all, which is why he could be so indifferent.
Alpha Dorian Kingston never gifted me anything, whether during our struggling startup days or now that we were wealthy.
He never offered even a single bouquet of roses on Valentine’s Day!
I contacted a housekeeping service to begin inventorying our belongings. Any personal items of his would be packed away; everything I had bought, from large furniture to small decorations, would be taken.
Since I had paid for it all, I wouldn’t let that pair of scoundrels benefit from it.

I nodded and shared a smile with George.
“Looks like your father’s assumption was right. Come on, Celine, let’s go home,” he chuckled.
When I arrived home with an overwhelming amount of luggage, my father looked at me in surprise and asked, “What’s going on here?”
“Did you have a fight?” my mother asked softly, voicing her suspicions.
“Dad, Mom, I’ve ended my partnership with Alpha Dorian Kingston. Dad, three years ago, you suggested I go abroad for chief training. I was too young then to make a wise choice, but now I want to go,” I said sincerely, standing before my parents.
It didn’t take much for my parents to digest

the news.
In fact, three years ago, they weren’t supportive of my relationship with Alpha Dorian Kingston. Even when they helped him, it was purely out of kindness.
I insisted on helping Alpha Dorian Kingston rebuild the Black Spine pack, and I
unwittingly fell deeply in love, which forced my parents to relent.
My parents aren’t fated mates, yet they have shared decades of unwavering love. Even when my father’s fated mate appeared, he resolutely turned her down.
Seeing my parents together gave me faith that genuine love could indeed move the moon goddess and break through any bonds of fate.

But not all couples are as steadfast in their love as my parents.
“Dad, I remember you didn’t support my relationship with Alpha Dorian Kingston at first,” I asked playfully.
“Yes, I never saw how he looked at you, or rather, he didn’t love you as deeply as you loved him. Child, this kind of love will only bring you pain,” my father said gently, patting my shoulder.
Perhaps my father saw things clearly; Alpha Dorian Kingston had always loved Liora Granger, never truly loving me. I was merely a convenient choice as he sought a fresh start.
In the end, I was the one who made the wrong choice and fell for the wrong person.
