Chapter 2

I pushed down the emotions surging in my chest.

I had no interest in arguing with them.

I looked at Silas and said calmly,

“Aren’t you here to pick me up?”

“Let’s go.”

The scene fell silent for a moment.

The others exchanged glances.

Then, as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world, they burst into laughter.

Serena sneered and looked at me with contempt.

“Pick you up?”

“Elena, who do you think you are?”

She pointed at the sign with Helena written on it.

“Look carefully. We’re waiting for Helena.”

“Do you even know who she is?”

Of course I knew.

After all, Helena was the name I used in Greystone Pack.

But Serena didn’t give me a chance to speak.

It was as if she had finally found a way to crush me, and she lifted her chin eagerly.

“Helena is the mistress of Greystone Pack.”

“She is Alpha Adrian’s true mate.”

“Alpha Adrian of Greystone is ruthless and decisive in both the Northern Territory and the business world. But when it comes to his wife, he is completely devoted.”

“They say he refused to bond with anyone for years because he was waiting for Helena.”

“Everyone in the werewolf world knows that pleasing Alpha Adrian is nothing compared to pleasing his Luna.”

“Because Lady Helena is the one he truly holds in his heart.”

Listening to their excited discussion, I couldn’t help but smile.

In the three years since our mating, Adrian’s power had only grown stronger.

Greystone Pack had expanded from the Northern Territory into the South.

Even many ancient wolf packs had no choice but to avoid challenging him.

But what was even more famous than his power was his reputation for spoiling his wife.

Serena had always wanted to show off in front of me.

Naturally, she would not miss this chance.

She deliberately raised her voice.

“I heard that to please Lady Helena, Alpha Adrian once bought a bracelet called ‘Eternal Heart’ at the Black Moon Auction.”

“It was worth twenty million.”

She paused deliberately, as if afraid I would not understand, then added,

“It was made of moon silver and deep-sea sapphires. The entire bracelet is engraved with ancient werewolf protection runes.”

“Lady Helena is the envy of every she-wolf in every pack.”

At that moment, Serena’s gaze suddenly landed on my wrist.

The next second, her voice turned sharp.

“That’s the one!”

The whole place fell silent.

Everyone’s eyes landed on my bracelet.

Silas suddenly stepped forward and grabbed my wrist, lifting my hand.

His grip was strong, almost painful.

He lowered his head to examine it, then sneered.

“It’s a pretty good fake.”

“Which rogue gave this to you?”

“Even his gift is counterfeit. How pathetic.”

His eyes were full of mockery.

“Trash.”

I yanked my hand free, curled my lips, and gently stroked the bracelet on my wrist.

It was indeed from Adrian.

He had put it on me himself when I was pregnant with our first child.

It was his protection charm for me.

When Silas saw the faint happiness on my face, his pupils tightened.

For some reason, he seemed stung by it.

Suddenly, he grabbed my wrist again and tore the bracelet from my arm.

I didn’t expect him to attack so suddenly.

Before I could react, he had already taken it.

“Silas!”

My face darkened.

But Serena had already stepped forward and taken the bracelet from his hand.

She held it in her palm and examined it carefully, greed flashing in her eyes.

“It really is more delicate than the fake one I bought.”

“But I would never wear a counterfeit in public and embarrass myself.”

Then, as if she had thought of something, she laughed mockingly.

“Don’t tell me you’re Helena.”

“Are you saying you’re the legendary Greystone Luna?”

The moment she said that, everyone around us burst into laughter.

To them, it was simply too ridiculous.

Adrian’s power made every werewolf pack fear him.

He was undoubtedly the Alpha King of the entire werewolf world.

And I was nothing but the woman who had been abandoned by Silas at the mating ceremony three years ago.

A joke who had left in disgrace.

No matter how they looked at it, I could never be connected to the mistress of Greystone Pack.

Serena hooked the bracelet around her finger and swung it carelessly.

“Elena, give me this bracelet.”

“I’ll pay double.”

Afraid she would drop it, I immediately said coldly,

“Give it back.”

“Adrian gave that to me.”

Before I could finish, Silas slapped me hard across the face.

Slap!

My face snapped to the side.

The taste of blood filled my mouth.

Silas glared at me, his expression dark and furious.

“Shut up!”
