hapter 4 Chapter 4 305 Coins At the boutique , as Kane and Aria stepped inside , the staff drew back a velvet curtain , revealing a meticulously prepared mate dress . " Miss , the dress blessed by the Moon Goddess has arrived . Please have a look and let us know if any adjustments are needed . " The dress was pure white , shimmering with a divine glow , its bodice adorned with a moonstone that seemed to radiate a sacred light . Kane wrapped an arm around Aria's waist . " My little wolf , do you like it ? " There was no denying the dress was exquisite , perfectly aligned with her preferences . Yet , no matter how beautiful it was , it couldn't mend the fractures within her heart . " My little wolf , look closely at the center of the moonstone . It's engraved with ' A & K forever . " " " The Moon Goddess bears witness - my love for you is eternal ." Aria glanced at the moonstone , and sure enough , the initials were delicately etched at its core . She turned to meet Kane's gaze , those eyes brimming with false affection , and softly asked , " Will your love for me truly be eternal ? " For a moment , a flicker of panic crossed Kane's eyes before he quickly replied , " I , Kane , swear to love Aria forever , for all my days . If I fail to keep this vow , may the Moon Goddess strip me of my wolf soul . " Such heartfelt words , yet they could not thaw a heart long frozen . He had already broken his vows . Didn't he tire of this charade ? Aria averted her gaze , unwilling to look at his insincere expression any longer . Kane seemed ready to say more , but his phone suddenly rang . His expression shifted briefly before he stepped aside to answer the call . When he returned , his face carried a hint of apology . " Something urgent has come up . You go ahead and try on the dress . Let the staff know if it needs any adjustments . " With that , he hurried off , leaving only the sight of his retreating back . Aria could only feel the sting of irony . Kane had never abandoned her for pack affairs before . And yet , as he left , there was a flicker of primal desire in his eyes , unmistakable . Work ? That was unlikely . He was probably off to see his little mistress . Chapter S
