It would be impossible for me to be with the man who had broken me in the past.</p> <p>He did not forget about the night. He continued to hold me</p> <p>responsible for that night.</p> <p>His remarks were cruel, and they hurt my heart. I was surprised that his words continued to have an impact on me.</p> <p>As I worked to keep them under control, tears began to form in the periphery of my eyes.</p> <p>“You’re still so rude; you haven’t changed a bit.” I said while staring at him.</p> <p>The hold that Adrian had on me loosened. He released his grip on my arms.</p> <p>“This is the last time I’m going to explain; believe it or not, I was not the one who drugged you that night.”</p> <p>He scoffed at me as if I were lying to him. I felt that this man could get more power for himself, but he would never change.</p> <p>He was still the same Adrian Miller that I had left behind five years ago.</p> <p>I attempted to turn around and leave, but his words prevented me from doing so.</p> <p>“What about this bond?”</p> <p>I paused and gazed at him for a moment. “What bond?”</p> <p>I-pretended that I was unaware of what he was talking about.</p> <p>As he moved closer to me, I took a step back.</p> <p>“Stop acting as if you can’t feel the mate bond.”</p> <p>I gave a slight shake of my head.</p> <p>“You can’t be my mate. We ended our marriage five years ago. I moved on with my life. This mate bond is meaningless.”</p> <p>After hearing my response, he became furious and growled at me. I gulped when I felt that my wolf wanted to submit to him.</p> <p>I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply before closing my eyes.</p> <p>A pair of icy eyes appeared in my gaze as I opened them. What he did. to me over those two years was something I would never forget.</p> <p>“This mate bond will be erased automatically when someone else marks me. There is nothing to be concerned about, Alpha Adrian.”</p> <p>After saying that, I left in a domineering manner, leaving him behind, just like he used to leave me in the past.</p> <p>As I walked out of the room, I also bumped into Adrian’s beta, Patric.</p> <p>He made a casual motion with his hand. “Oh, hi.”</p> <p>After giving him a nod, I proceeded to pass by him.</p> <p>As I made my way to the hall, I quickly peeked around and found Eric having a conversation with an Alpha. He appeared to be anxious.</p> <p>Upon noticing me, he made an immediate move toward me. “Where is your phone? I have been calling you for ten minutes. Where were you?”</p> <p>He threw a bunch of questions at me. I reached out and grabbed his arm as we made our way to the other side of the hall.</p> <p>“Calm down, Eric. I was just roaming around and lost my way.” I noveldrama</p> <p>lied to him.</p> <p>I did not want to make anyone worry about me. I had told Adrian what I needed to tell him. That man continued to hold a deep– seated hatred for me, and I was convinced that he would never come after</p> <p>1. me.</p> <p>Eric handed me a glass of red wine. I gave him a friendly grin and then began to engage in conversation with the other people who had come to talk with us.</p> <p>While drinking, I caught a glimpse of Doctor Max.</p> <p>My eyes lightened up.</p> <p>“Hey, isn’t it him? Max Harrison, the best healer we have ever</p> <p>known!” I overheard a group of young women talking about Doctor.</p> <p>Max.</p> <p>Then I shifted my attention to Eric. My expression was clear to him.</p> <p>“What?” he asked.</p> <p>“I’m going to meet him,” I replied to him and walked to Doctor Max. He was the reason I came here to attend the party.</p> <p>I was ecstatic and went up to introduce myself to Doctor Max.</p> <p>“Hello, Doctor Max, Can I have a word with you?” Following the clearing of my throat, I asked.</p> <p>He was talking with someone, so when I asked, he turned his attention to me. He raised his eyebrows and gave her a slight nod of the head.</p> <p>He was a young man in his late twenties with an attractive look.</p> <p>“Sure,” he replied.</p> <p>“I am your fan.”</p> <p>When he heard me, he let out a chuckle. My behavior was not that of a fan girl who would wander around him. But I was a huge fan of his curative abilities.</p> <p>“I am not a celebrity or any head Alpha.”</p> <p>“But I have been learning about you for years. I really appreciate your healing skills. You are a hard–working person.”</p> <p>Hearing me, he rubbed the back of his neck. It appeared as though he was completely blown away by my compliments.</p> <p>He was a very kind and welcoming man. He asked me about myself.</p> <p>“Within the past four years, I have qualified for my license and</p> <p>completed my medical schooling. I always hoped to be as awesome a doctor as Doctor Max one day.”</p> <p>He gave me a warm smile.</p> <p>After expressing his admiration for me, he told me, “I would like to invite you over to the Blood Moon Pack for dinner sometime.”</p> <p>At first, I was stunned, but then I smiled at him. “It’s a pleasure.”</p> <p>After talking to him, I was heading back to Eric. But at that point, those vicious women reappeared in front of me.</p> <p>“How dare you speak to us in such a brazen manner? The only reason we allowed you to go at that time was because of our Alpha.”</p> <p>They started to provoke me, making a lot of noise.</p> <p>“Shut up. Who gave you the audacity to talk with her in this way?”</p> <p>I turned and found Adrian’s father, Alpha Lucas.</p> <p>He scolded the women. Those women looked afraid and said then left. I did not know why they kept targeting me in the first place. sorry,</p> <p>The eyes of Alpha Lucas were filled with sadness as he looked at me. I smiled at him and greeted him.</p> <p>“Alpha”</p> <p>I had no grudges toward him. He and his wife always supported me when I was Adrian’s wife.</p> <p>He sighed and apologized to me personally, saying,</p> <p>“It’s been a long time, but I am overjoyed to be able to see you again. You have always been the one I thought was the best choice for my son, but it’s…” a</p> <p>He paused as if he were trying to find words to explain.</p> <p>His statements caused me to experience a range of emotions. In an effort to conceal my feelings, I lowered my head.</p> <p>But at that time, Adrian’s voice reached my ears, causing my emotions to fade away.</p> <p>“Who said she’s the best choice for me?”</p> </body></html>
