Chapter 5
When I was five years old, I was kidnapped by rogue wolves. Young as I was, I was locked alone in a small, lightless shipping container for three whole days and nights.
When the police rescued me, I was barely alive. Because of this, I developed seve
post–traumatic stress disorder.
I was afraid of being alone, afraid of darkness, even afraid of sleeping [
My parents, the former Alpha and Luna of Judith Pack, put aside all their work to stay by my side during treatment. It took a full five years. recover.
Now, emotionally agitated, I couldn’t control my feelings. The fear that had been suppressed deep in my heart for so long was released. The surrounding darkness was like an invisible hand gripping me, constantly tightening and squeezing
“Let me out! Ronan, I’m scared!” I pounded on the basement door with all my strength. “Let me out, please.“[
“I’m really scared! I’m going to die.”

My wolf manifested uncontrollably beside me, pacing frantically, fur standing on end, letting out helpless howls.
For me to
I felt my breathing becoming more labored, my head hurting more and more. I began hitting my head against the door. Once, twice, three times
Until I knocked myself unconscious

Early the next morning, Ronan and Wendy attended the werewolf world’s largest technology launch event in full formal wear, officially bringing “Eternal Moonlight” to market and starting high–priced bidding
Wendy, as the “developer” of “Eternal Moonlight,” was the center of attention. Armed with my research diary and accompanied by Ronan, she confidently handled questions from reporters and professionals, transforming overnight from unknown to a leader in the werewolf energy field.]
The launch ended quickly, and Ronan threw her a celebration party
“Ronan, Miss Judith should be here for such a special moment, Wendy said, eager to show off to me ||
Ronan looked at her indulgently. “Alright.”
Ronan personally returned to the villa to get me. He wanted me to know that everything was now set in stone, and I wasn’t allowed to cause trouble.
But the moment the basement door opened, the smell of blood hit him, and Ronan frowned sharply
In the dim light, I was curled up in the corner, disheveled, head buried in my arms, trembling.
Sensing the light, I slowly lifted my head. Through blurred vision, I saw Ronan at the door
“Aria.” Ronan was shocked, never imagining I would become like this. “You ”
“Ronan, I don’t want “Eternal Moonlight anymore. Let me out, I’m scared.” I shrank further into the dark corner, my voice full of panic and fear. “I don’t want it anymore, I really don’t want it anymore,”
Ronan’s body trembled slightly. Without a word, he carried me out of the basement.]
Wendy called to urge Ronan. He looked at me, weak on the bed, hesitated for a moment, then answered Wendy
“I’ll be right there.“[]
Ronan had someone briefly clean my wounds, change me into clean formal wear, and cover the injury on my forehead with foundation
Throughout the process, I didn’t move. As we were about to leave, I suddenly stopped.
“Can you give me the Judith Pack shares now? I tried to speak. “It’s okay if not, just don’t lock me in the basement anymore.”
My body trembled slightly, still shaken
Ronan frowned but surprisingly didn’t refuse. He immediately had a lawyer prepare electronic documents.]
During the few minutes of waiting, he inadvertently looked around and noticed the living room seemed much emptier [
“You threw things away?”
I nodded.
The air foll into brief silence, Ronan seemed to want to say something but stopped himself]
The lawyer sent the documents. Ronan and I both signed, and the electronic agreement took effect immediately.
Looking at the complete share transfer agreement on my phone, I breathed a sigh of relief
The party venue was brilliantly lit and bustling with activity, Guests raised their glasses and praised Wendy
Wendy was praised to the skies, her smile never fading
Seeing Ronan and me appear, she smiled and approached
“Miss Judith, are you here to congratulate me too?” Wendy pretended to embrace me, whispering viciously in my ear, “You see, all your things are mine now. You’re no match for me at all
I looked numb and spoke flatly. “Congratulations, you won. Can you have your mating ceremony with Ronan now?”
