1 lay in bed that night, but sleep wouldn’t come
Every time I closed my eyes, I saw them together–Elizabeth and Rolin.
Their faces were etched into my mind, their expressions, their closeness, their betrayal,
It played on a loop, tormenting me until the early hours of the morning,
When I finally drifted off to sleep, it was fitful and brief.
wake up the next day to an empty bed, the space beside me cold and undisturbed,
The omega who worked in the house informed me that Elizabeth had a shoot planned for today and had already left early in the morning
A sneer tugged at the corner of my lips.
Without a second thought, I picked up the phone and called BETA, Panther, one of my most trusted associates.
“Panther,” I said, my voice sharp, “I need you to find out exactly where Elizabeth is filming today. And while you’re at it, change the location of my client meeting to that neighborhood.”
After a brief exchange, Panther assured me that he would handle it.
I hung up, feeling a cold satisfaction settle over me.
If she wanted to play games, then so would I.
Later that evening, after wrapping up a social engagement with some clients, I spotted Elizabeth as she stepped out of the hotel where she had been filming.
The look of surprise on her face when she saw me was almost gratifying.
“Leg?” she said, her voice tinged with confusion.
“What are you doing here?”
I answered with a cold expression, my tone flat.
“Work,” I replied curtly, offering nothing more.
She glanced around, noticing the few clients still lingering near their cars.
“You’re here for business?” she asked, trying to make sense of it.
I nodded, my response clipped. “Yes.”
She must have sensed my chill and furrowed her brow, as if somewhat puzzled by my cold attitude, and asked, “So, where are you going now?”
I glanced at the man getting into the car, then turned to her, my voice icy.
“To the Arizona Club,” I said, “We’re going to talk business and get some pussy on the way.”
She froze, a flash of incredulity in her eyes.
Then she spoke, a warning in her voice, “So, you’re going to have some fun with women too?”
Elizabeth’s POV
The moon hung low in the sky, casting long shadows across the clearing where the pack house stood.
The air was cool, but it did little to soothe the burning frustration inside me.

Chapter 102
Leo’s car was idling in the driveway, and I could feel the tension building as he prepared to leave.
His expression was unreadable, a stark contrast to the passionate man I once knew.
Leo laughed, a sound that sent a chill down my spine.
“So what if I get a woman? You don’t care anyway, do you?”
His words were like daggers, each one aimed to hurt.
The tone he used was cold, flirtatious, and almost mocking–a far cry from the deep love and devotion he had once shown me.
It was as if he had transformed overnight into someone unrecognizable, someone cruel and distant.
tepped forward, reached out to grab his sleeve.
Leo if you really go out to find another woman, never come to me.”
He didn’t even flinch. Instead, he roughly pulled his arm away, his eyes narrowing in disdain.
“What kind of person are you to me? Also worthy to control me?”
His words stung, cutting deeper than I thought possible.
Just the other day, this man had been begging me to return to his side, to be his Luna once more.
Now, it was as if none of that mattered.
I felt everyone watching us.
They all expected me to show a pained expression of betrayal, but instead I just smiled coldly.
“Yeah, well, I’m not even close to being your Luna. I don’t deserve to be in charge of you at all. Take whoever you like. You’ve already betrayed me once anyway, and when you come back, we’ll go to the werewolf council.”
Leo’s eyes flashed with something–anger, maybe?It was hard to tell.
“Is that a threat?”
“Take it however you want,” I shot back, my voice steady even as my heart pounded in my chest.
He sneered, turning away from me.
“Panther, send someone to take Luna back. From now on, she is not allowed to see me without my permission.”
“You think I’m looking forward to seeing you? Heh, Leo, you’re so arrogant.”
I said coldly as I took one last look at him before turning around.
My words were clear and carried a piercing chill. “Don’t you regret it.”

esponse, I turned on my heel and got into my car.
The drive back to the pack house was a blur, my mind racing with thoughts I couldn’t control.
By the time I arrived, I felt numb, the cold reality of the situation settling over me like a heavy blanket.
As I walked into the house, I noticed immediately that the group photo on the wall had been taken down,
It was a small detail, but it felt like the final nail in the coffin.
So had erased every trace of what we once were, leaving nothing but emptiness in its place.
I stood in the living room, staring at the blank space on the wall where the photo had once hung.
How could everything have changed so drastically in just one night?
The night was already late, the darkness outside pressing in on me from all sides.
The moonlight filtered through the windows, casting an eerie glow across the room.
I sat down on the couch, feeling utterly lost.
Minutes turned into hours, and I sat there, staring blankly into the darkness.
I didn’t even notice when a figure entered the room, his footsteps soft on the wooden floor.
It wasn’t until he was standing in front of me that I looked up, my eyes meeting Narik’s concerned gaze.
“What are you doing here so late at night, Elizabeth?”
Narik’s voice was gentle, a stark contrast to the harsh words I had exchanged with Leo earlier.
I managed a weak smile, though it didn’t reach my eyes.
“Couldn’t sleep.”
Narik sat down beside me, his presence comforting in a way I hadn’t expected.
“Had a fight with him?”
I nodded, not trusting myself to speak.
The pain was still too raw, the wound too fresh.
He hesitated for a moment before asking, “Because of what? Does it have anything to do with me?”
His question caught me off guard, and for a moment, I didn’t know how to respond.
But then the words came tumbling out, and I told him everything–what Leo had done, what he had said to me.
Narik listened quietly, his expression a mix of shock and concern.
When I finished, he reached out and gently took my hand, his touch warm and reassuring.
“If I had been the one to meet you first, Elizabeth, I would never have let you get so upset.”
I looked at him, trying to gauge the sincerity in his words.
But all I could see was that same gentle concern, the same warmth that had always been there.
“Stop joking around, Narik,” I said, though my voice lacked the usual bite.

I didn’t notice the slightly pained expression that crossed his face.
Narik was silent for a moment, as if lost in thought.
Then he spoke, his voice soft.
“Les must have had some kind of misunderstanding when he acted like that. Although he’s an impulsive bastard, I can tell that he really loves you. He cares about you a lot.”
“Misunderstanding?”
1 echoed, frowning as I thought back to the events of the past few days.
Could it really be a misunderstanding?
Aat could have possibly caused Leo to act this way?
The only thing that came to mind was the brief encounter I had with Rolin that day.
But that had been nothing more than a conversation–one about my mother, no less.
Surely Leo wouldn’t have misunderstood that…. would he?
*And *
Narik hesitated again before continuing.
“I saw him go diamond ring shopping last weekend. Odds are he has plans to re–propose to you.”
I froze, the shock of his words momentarily overriding the pain in my heart.
A proposal? After everything that had happened?
“No way,” I finally said, my voice flat. The irony of it all was too much. “I’m going to pack my things and get out of here.”
Leo’s POV
The Arizona luxury clubhouse buzzed with laughter and the clinking of glasses.
Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting a warm glow over the room filled with elegantly dressed women and men enjoying their night out.
Soft music played in the background, blending seamlessly with the conversations and the occasional burst of laughter.
The air was thick with the scent of expensive perfume and the rich aroma of fine whiskey.
I sat alone on the plush sofa, my mind restless. Despite the lively atmosphere around me, I felt a growing irritation bubbling inside.
The room was filled with beautiful women, their smiles and laughter a stark contrast to the storm brewing within me.
I took a slow sip of my wine, the deep red liquid leaving a bitter taste on my tongue.
A stunning woman approached me, her dress shimmering under the lights.
She flashed a bright smile, her eyes sparkling with interest.
But for some reason, I couldn’t muster any attraction.
