“Miss, are you alright?” a server approached me, noticing my unusual expression and asking with concern.

I quickly turned around, pretending nothing was wrong, and said, “I’m fine. Actually, I think I’ll stay a little longer. Could you bring me another cup of coffee?”

After speaking, I returned to my scat as if nothing had happened.

But my gaze never once left the hotel across the street.

I didn’t know what was wrong with me–why I was so fixated on uncovering the truth.

I stared intently at the hotel entrance. Not long after, I saw Madeline step out of the building.

And Benjamin … he didn’t push her away. He let her cling to him like that!

I watched as the two of them walked into the hotel together.

My hands clenched into fists, trembling silently. In that moment, the faint doubt in my heart was confirmed.

A sharp pain pierced through my chest as if my world had collapsed.

Oddly enough, Hera didn’t react as strongly as I expected.

I hadn’t anticipated that my wolf would be this resilient, this calm, even in the face of betrayal from our destined mate.
