Chapter 1

After the explosion, I escaped to a border town and opened a flower shop under a new identity.

Everyone thought I died in that explosion.

For two years, my gravestone has been spotlessly cleaned every single day.

Until today, when a customer walked into my flower shop.

The person who pushed open the door was an old friend of mine.

She stared at me in shock, asking why I hadn't gone back if I was alive.

She also said Kael had been guarding my grave for two years and nearly committed suicide.

Kael was my ex-husband, the Alpha heir of the Dubois pack.

He had a childhood sweetheart.

Her parents died fifteen years ago saving Kael's mother, Luna Raven, during a Rogue attack.

After that, Talia became Kael's foster sister.

After I married Kael, she began targeting me.

The first time, she locked me in a burning building.

I barely escaped by breaking through a window, my entire body covered in burns.

Kael brought in the best specialists, pulled me back from death's door, and helped heal my skin.

The second time, she conspired with several Rogues to ambush me on my way home.

I was beaten within an inch of my life.

Kael rescued me and captured those Rogues, punishing them severely.

She harmed, he rescued.

Over and over again.

Until the last time.

Talia bought a potion from a witch and created a massive explosion.

My entire body was blasted, my lungs critically injured.

As they lifted me onto a stretcher, I used every ounce of strength to beg Kael to report this to the Wolf Council.

He knelt down and gently shook his head.

"Alicia, Talia didn't mean it. Her parents died for my mother."

"For my sake, can you let it go?"

In that moment, my heart died completely.
