Alpha, today is the anniversary of our little cub's death. Why haven't you..." Lilith's sobbing voice echoed from across the hunting grounds, suddenly cutting off when she saw me.
"Sera?!"
Her eyes narrowed as she grabbed my hair without warning. "Sera, why are you back?! Go die! Just die!"
Caught off guard, I stumbled and fell.
My clothes lifted, revealing a patch of intimate marks on my calf—the unique silver patterns left by a werewolf's claim—suddenly exposed for all the wolves to see.
Damien froze for a moment, then gripped my ankle tightly in the next second, his voice seeping through clenched teeth.
"Seraphina Moon, to test if I still care about you, you actually had another wolf leave these fake marks on you."
"You're so calculating!"
He thought I was deliberately trying to make him jealous by faking werewolf marks all over my body.
I found it laughable, scoffing as I swatted his hand away.
