Adrian also immediately noticed me behind Ferris, gave me reassuring look, then looked at Ferris and extended
his hand.
Terris, pleased to meet you.”
Without the expected tension, the two mon were unusually gentlemanly.
Ferris shook his hand, then looked at me and introduced: “This is my Luna, Aurora.”
While asserting his dominance, Ferris pulled me close by the waist.
I wanted to pull his hand away.
But he used more force, refusing to let go, even when I scratched his hand until it bled.
His expression remained calm and composed.
Adrian silently watched all this without showing any abnormality: “No need for introductions. Aurora and I are childhood friends. I know her better than you do, Ferris.”
Ferris’s gaze turned sinister as he looked back at me.
“Darling, how come I never heard you mention such a childhood friend?”
His hand pressed hard, and I felt like the bones in my waist were about to break.
My heart was bitter–only at times like this was he willing to call me “darling.”
After all, no man would want to lose to another man, especially in a struggle between Alphas…
“Maybe you forgot,” I replied softly.
After all, the former Ferris never cared about what I said or what kind of friends I had, so of course he wouldn’t know about Adrian.
“In that case, after I finish discussing business with Alpha Adrian, you two can catch up.”
“No need.” I knew he was speaking ironically and instinctively refused.
But Ferris moved closer to me, deliberately acting intimate, lowering his voice: “If you don’t meet now, what if you meet behind my back later?”
I looked at him coldly.

Meeting my clear yet cold eyes. Ferris’s heart trembled.
He quickly looked away.
Adrian took in their interaction, restraining his inner unwillingness and anger.
Terris released me and went to the conference room with Adrian.
My waist ached.
Simon had someone bring me a glass of water.
“Miss Aurora, why do you do this to yourself?”
I looked at him and asked back: “What do you mean ‘do this to myself? What have I done wrong?”
Simon was taken aback.
“I think you should live well with Alpha Ferris instead of doing things that lower your status for other men.”
“If other people in Silver Moon pack knew you were entangled with Adrian, what would happen to Ferris’s reputation?”
How ridiculous.
Ferris had once treated me like air, used cold violence, been with other women, and hurt me with words in various ways, never fulfilling his duties as a husband.
When I was bullied by people around him, he never helped me.
Now they wanted me to live well with him?
And worry about his reputation?
I used to not even be able to work outside because of his reputation and face.
“You two really are worthy of being superior and subordinate.”
Simon felt he was just giving well–meaning advice: “After all, Alpha Ferris is obviously showing weakness now. Isn’t this what you’ve been waiting for?”
“Miss Aurora, some things should stop when they’ve gone far enough. If you reach the limit, it might be irreversible.”
I let out a quiet laugh–cold and without amusement.
“Irreversible?” I repeated, my voice soft but laced with something sharper. “Simon, tell me, what exactly is it you
think I’m afraid ofla! –

He opened his mouth but I didn’t give him the chance to speak.
Terris? I said his name like it tasted bitter. “That man who only remembers I exist when it inconveniences him? Who watched me get torn apart by his people, by his women and said nothing? And now that I no longer kneel where he placed me, now I’m the problem?
