Alpha Jerome was stunned. He
stumbled backward and crashed into

The sharp sound startled Elise, who rushed in, eyes wide with concern.
“Jerome, what happened?”
Alpha Jerome’s hand landed on the blood–stained needle. He snapped
out of his daze, held it up, and asked quietly, “Why did you stab her?”
Elise froze.
Then she quickly blinked back the panic and said with wide–eyed innocence, “Did Audrey tell you that? But I never did such a thing… How can I admit to something I didn’t do?”
Tears began to stream down her face, soft sobs escaping her throat. In the past, this would’ve melted Alpha Jerome in seconds.

But this time, she cried until her eyes
stung, and still–nothing.
Not a word. Not a touch.
Unease crept up her spine. She
glanced up through her lashes to
gauge his expression-
And what she saw made her blood run
cold.
Alpha Jerome’s hand clamped down on her throat with terrifying force, his voice low and sharp: “You still dare lie to me? A few days of pampering and you forget your place, huh?”
Elise struggled, tears streaming, yet still protested between sobs, “I didn’t… Jerome, please… you have
to believe me…”

Alpha Jerome hated liars more than anything. Elise, who once seemed so sweet and simple, now reeked of
deceit.
In that moment, he was done with her -just like the others before her.
Once the disgust set in, his patience evaporated.
Elise, sensing the shift, flung herself at his waist and clung on.
“Jerome! Did that bitch say
something to you? Is that why you’re
treating me like this—”
Before she could finish, Alpha
Jerome shoved her to the floor with a
powerful thrust.
Standing over her his lips twisted into.

Standing over her, his lips twisted into
a chilling sneer.
Without hesitation, he drove the
needle into her arm.
Elise screamed—an ear–splitting, blood–curdling sound that echoed through the house.
She writhed on the floor, crying and shaking in pain.
Alpha Jerome didn’t spare her
another glance. He turned and stormed out the door.
His heart burned with regret as he thought of Audrey.
He booked a private jet immediately.
Six hours later, he arrived in Moon
Shadow Pack

The Reiu family lived in a villa iestieu
ty
halfway up a mountain.
As Alpha Jerome stepped through the
gates, the first thing he saw was me -under a tree, gently swinging on a wooden swing.
He stopped in his tracks.
Because on my face was a look he had never seen before–ease, peace, joy.
I was basking in the sun, swinging lazily, face lifted to the sky.
Then suddenly, a shadow loomed
overhead.
I opened my eyes–and there was Alpha Jerome, standing before me, eyes burning with obsession.
In a blink, he scooped me off the
and nulled me into bis arms

In a blink, he scooped me off the
swing and pulled me into his arms.
His voice was reproachful but tender: “Audrey, how could you leave without a word? And not answer my calls?”
His breath was hot against my neck. My skin crawled.
I shoved him away, hard.
I didn’t hide the disgust in my eyes.
Not anymore.
My voice was cold. “What are you doing here?”
But Alpha Jerome, blinded by joy, ignored my resistance.
He stepped closer. “I’m here to apologize. I misunderstood you.
Please forgive me Audrey !!

Four years. In all that time, this was
the first time he’d ever said those
words to me.
But I felt no satisfaction–only
revulsion.
I exhaled slowly and said, each word steady and sharp:
“Let’s break up. I’ve already cleared
out all my things. You don’t need to lift a finger.”
Alpha Jerome froze.
He looked like he’d been struck dumb.
“Break up? Why?”
Sure, he’d fooled around with other women before, but Audrey had never
once talked about leaving him.

Suddenly panicking, he rushed to
reassure me:
“I’ve already told Elise it’s over. I won’t
see her again.”
“I was immature before, but I never planned to marry any of them. It was all just fun–just games.”
