Chapter 1

On the day I divorced Damian, the Alpha of Thornmire pack, I wore exquisite makeup and a sexy deep-V dress.

His face was filled with disgust:

"Dressed so slutty! Are you that desperate to find a new man?"

I touched the ruby necklace at my chest and smiled in response:

"That's right. And you actually know this man."

He sneered:

"Stop fooling yourself! You're already 40 years old. Who would want you? Beg me, and I might consider remarrying you."

I wasn't angry. After all, last night at the Moonlight Ball, 20 men invited me to dance, and 7 men asked for my phone number.

One young, handsome man even knelt down on one knee and proposed to me.

The day before, Damian and I had already broken our mate bond.

Today we just needed to go to the courthouse to finalize the divorce.

But after getting in the car, Damian didn't immediately head to the courthouse.

Instead, he drove in the opposite direction.

Meeting my puzzled eyes, the man's attitude was cold:

"Kalia is coming too. After we finish the divorce paperwork, I'm going to do the marriage paperwork with her. She's waited twenty years. I don't want to make her wait any longer."

So our marriage of convenience had actually lasted this long.

Damian and I were fated mates. We fell in love at first sight when we first met, then entered a passionate romance.

Back then, he was still the heir to the Thornmire pack Alpha position, and I was the sister of the Hailmark pack Alpha. Our packs' alliance made our marriage the center of attention.

Unfortunately, shortly after the wedding, Kalia appeared, and Damian changed his heart and fell in love with her.

By the time I finished reminiscing, we'd arrived outside Kalia's house. I was a bit thirsty, so I got out to buy a bottle of water.

When I came back, Kalia was already sitting in the passenger seat.

"Nyla, I'm used to sitting in the passenger seat in Damian's car. You don't mind, do you?"

What was there to mind?

We were getting divorced today anyway.

I got directly into the back seat.

At this moment, Kalia turned her head and stared at my wrist, saying:

"What a beautiful bracelet!"

"Nyla, give the bracelet to Kalia." Damian gripped the steering wheel and issued the command without turning his head.

This bracelet was a birthday gift Damian gave me three years ago.

My fiancé wouldn't let me wear jewelry from my ex-husband anyway, so I casually took it off and gave it to Kalia.

"I have lots of jewelry at home. If you like it, I'll give it all to you."

Seeing this, Damian nodded with satisfaction: "Nyla, as long as you don't cause trouble, I guarantee no one in Thornmire pack will know about our divorce. To outsiders, you'll still be the honorable Luna."

I didn't respond.

He didn't know yet that I was about to remarry too.

Suddenly, my phone started vibrating. It was my fiancé calling.

"I've already boarded the plane. I'll be there soon." My fiancé's voice was full of tenderness. "I miss you so much!"

I answered happily too: "Okay, see you in a bit."

Through the rearview mirror, Damian caught the smile at the corner of my mouth.

A surge of displeasure immediately ignited in his heart.

Just as he was about to ask who it was, Kalia, sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly screamed.

"What's wrong?" Damian turned his head and asked gently.

Kalia said: "How did this bracelet break? It was fine just now."

At that moment, I was still busy on the phone and didn't notice the bracelet at all.

The fire in Damian's heart immediately flared up.

He grabbed the bracelet and threw it at me.

Before I could react,

Damian snatched my phone and threw it out the car window.

My phone was instantly crushed to pieces by a passing car. I yelled angrily:

"Damian, what the hell is wrong with you!"

Damian stopped the car by the roadside, then dragged me out.

The moment I landed, a drunk stumbled over and knocked me to the ground, spraining my ankle.

After hitting me, the drunk seemed to sober up a bit. Before I could complain, he'd already run away.

Seeing my swollen ankle, Damian let go of my hand with contempt.

"I just asked you to give Kalia a bracelet, and you deliberately broke it. Nyla, how can you be so vicious!"
