Chapter 10
I stared at Alpha Esmond, utterly baffled by his sudden display.
His feelings for Omega Carly had always been painfully obvious–to anyone with eyes. Even after Carly had rejected him, he clung to her memory like a lifeline.
And now, with Carly back, wouldn’t letting me go be a relief to him?
So why was he here? Why had he chased me all the way to the Silverback Pack?
The silence stretched between us, tense and suffocating. Finally, Alpha Esmond broke it. He pulled a small red velvet box from his pocket and knelt before me.

“Nancy,” he began, his voice trembling slightly, “I know I’ve hurt you before. But I swear, I’ll make it up to you. Marry me, and from now on, you’ll be the only one in my life.”
Inside the box lay a sparkling pink diamond ring. The sight of it took me back to the countless nights I had dreamed of this moment, imagining him on one knee, professing his love. But thankfully, he had never really offered before.
I reached out and as hope started to gather in his eyes, I calmly closed the velvet box.
“Alpha Esmond, I once loved you because I thought you were upright and remarkable. But I was wrong. You‘ re nothing but a liar, skilled at hiding behind your facade of decency”

“You have no boundaries. You could deceive your own friend’s sister without a second thought. Why would I entrust my future to someone like you?”
As I spoke, his face grew increasingly pale. He shook his head weakly, unable to say a word in defense.
“I’m getting married,” I said.

“Even though we’ve only known each other a short time, I’m already very happy with him. He’s handsome, respectful, a great conversationalist and, most importantly, he’s my mate.”
“So, please don’t ever come looking for me

again.”
“No.”
Alpha Esmond dropped the flowers and the ring box, grasping my wrists as he knelt before me, refusing to let go.
“Nancy, I know I was wrong before. I thought I couldn’t let go of Omega Carly. But when you left, I realized you were the one who truly mattered.”
“These past few days have been hell. I couldn’t eat or sleep and I even called your brother in the middle of the night, desperate. to know where you were. I thought I’d go insane when I couldn’t find you.
“Please, give me another chance. After seven years together, all those intimate moments–can you really just forget?”

I laughed bitterly. “Alpha Esmond, in those seven years, ask yourself, while I was by your side, who were you thinking about? Who did you see when you looked at me?”
I pried his hands off, feeling an intense sense of disgust. As I packed my things before leaving, I realized how few of my clothes, jewelry, or bags actually suited my taste. The ones I’d chosen with him were almost all in Omega Carly’s style.
I had never looked like Omega Carly. I just shared a faint resemblance, which he exaggerated with his choices, molding me into her shadow.
Finally, I managed to free myself from his grip, stumbling backward from the force. Just as I was about to fall, a strong hand caught me from behind, then wrapped

around my shoulders protectively.
Turning around, I saw Alpha Leon’s icy expression.
“When did you get here?” I asked, surprised.
Alpha Leon’s stern face softened into a slight smile as he looked at me.
“Since the moment this guy showed up with those flowers.”
