Chapter 7
Meanwhile, I had already arrived safely in the Northern Territory.
Fortunately, Sebastian hadn’t managed to stop the train.
After the heart–pounding journey, I was completely exhausted.
As soon as I stepped off the train, the first breath of foreign air hit me, and It felt as if I had been reborn and my soul had been cleansed,
That decayed, unbearable marriage, the Alpha who betrayed and wounded me so deeply–all of it was left behind.
From now on, I would live for myself and for Jesper to secure a future for the two of us, to help us find our place in this world of wolves once again. Tristan had been waiting at the Moonlight Station.
The moment he saw me, he pulled me into his arms. His embrace was fierce and unwavering, as though he were trying to pull me away from all the pain and memories.
He knew what I had been through. Especially when he saw the wound on Jasper’s head, his fingers trembled, and his eyes were filled with silent fury
and sorrow.
“You should have come sooner. My pack will always have a place for you!
*Thank you,” I nodded and didn’t say much, because I knew nothing I said could ever express how grateful I was to him Without a moment’s hesitation, he sped us straight to his pack doctor. Thankfully, Jasper’s injuries weren’t life–threatening.
As the doctor cleaned the wound, Tristan stayed by his side, his face full of worry.
When Jasper cried loudly in pain, Tristan couldn’t help but wipe away his own tears.
I found is somewhat amusing and asked him what he was crying for. He just looked at me, his eyes red, without saying a word. Suddenly, I was reminded of seven years ago, the night I had promised to become Sebastian’s Luna That same look had been in his I flushed, instinctively avoiding his gaze.
Once the wounds were treated, Tristan took us to the place he had already arranged for us to stay.
After settling us in, he quietly left.
eyes then.
From that day on, he came nearly every day to lielp care for Jasper, and even found an excellent rehabilitation center for him. Though Jasper’s injuries had stolen the sharp mind he once had, with relentless rehabilitation, he might still reclaim a life of his own.
The training was grueling, pushing both Jasper and me to our physical and emotional limits.
During those days, I didn’t have the energy to pay attention to any news about the Blue Moon Pack
Leaving without a penny to my name meant I had taken nothing from Sebastian. All the penses had to be covered by the savings I had quietly put aside before the marriage.
Jasper’s treatment had early drained all my funds.
Tristan had repeatedly offered to cover the costs, but I had chosen to find a job instead.
Despite working day and night, I still occasionally heard news about Sebastian After I left, he inmediately drove Celeste and her son away and oven. overturned his will, drafting a new Oct

My own stupidity left Jasper with a damaged mind. His brilliance forever locked away. And as for me? This stolen heart in my c long enough to see him grow.
I regretted it every day.
Regretted ever loving him, for it had brought me to this miserable state.
He had destroyed our future with his own hands.
And now, he was pretending to love me deeply, trying to win the back. How tragically amusing.
Fortunately, the other pack members were no fools. Soon, the whole story unraveled, and the pack turned against him in scor.
They called him shameless, said he was a man who’d maimed his own child for the sale of a bastard, then had the gall to demand their help. Someone set his love letters ablaze, hurling curses at his hypocrisy as the flames devoured every hollow word.
But Sebastian remained unmoved, still desperately trying to find us.
In the end, he even sought the help of a witch, sending me a letter that could speak, the only way he could still try to communicate with me. “Marigold, if you see this, please give me another chance!”
“I was foolish, wronged you…I truly regret it.”
“I now realize that I have always and only loved you. You are my destined Luna, my forever mate!”
“Jasper is still so young, he can’t grow up without a father. Please, let me see you both…I’ll do whatever it takes to atone, I beg you!”
I felt nothing but nausea
Turning away, I threw the talking letter into the fireplace, watching it burn to ashes.
Sebastian, for the rest of your life, I wish never to see you again.
After that day, I no longer cared about any news of Sebastian
To me, he was just a familiar str
stranger.
Three months later, I was still talking Jasper to his rehabilitation training as usual
One day, while waiting at a red light, I absentmindedly looked up and met Sebastian’s gaze across the street.
