Before | could ponder why, Velda trembled and clung to me.
“Ulrik, you won't reject me, will you?” Her voice shook.
My gaze remained fixed on the spot where Adelaide had vanished.
| tightened my hold on Velda and forced out a word, “No.”
She burst into tears against my shoulder, “She only has a better background than me.”
| let go of her. A chill filled my heart.
She'd lost, yet she refused to accept it.
Her honesty, her frankness, her boldness-all of it now seemed like an act.

“Ulrik,” she raised an eyebrow, “are you regretting it?”
“Regretting what?”
“Regretting our mate bond.”
| averted my gaze. “No.”
She gripped my shoulders, her eyes reddening. “I can’t match Adelaide’s background. She had the best mentors,

She clutched my waist, her cheek pressed to my shoulder. “You've been so distant lately. Do you really regret it?”
Her wolf let out a weak whine. Mine hung its tail.
It didn’t want to respond to Velda’s wolf.
| recalled when Adelaide and her Omegas left the Bloodmoon Pack. I'd told those Omegas to pass on a message,
“Don’t regret.”
Now, all that remained was irony.
She didn’t regret it. What about me? No!

“Remember your promise,” she suddenly smiled, her tone coquettish, “If you dare to reject me, I'll carve out

When Velda mentioned the word “promise,” my heart felt a heavy blow.
