---- Chapter 4. The next day, I arrived at the cabin separately from Leno. Every vase in the cabin was filled with fresh roses -it used to be my favorite flower. In the years Leno had been exiled from the pack, he had nothing to his name. Yet every morning, he would pick fresh roses to greet me with at the cabin. When Leno saw me arrive, he excitedly said, " Flora, look what I brought you." I walked into the cabin and revealed Elisa standing behind me. Her eyes were red-rimmed as she stood at the door, staring at Leno with grievance. Tears began streaming down her cheeks, and her tailored clothes made her protruding belly even more noticeable. He slammed the door in Elisa's face in anger and ---- sat across from me, breathing heavily. "Why did you bring her here?" he demanded. "She has something she wants to say to you," I said. "T have nothing to say to her!" Leno glared at me, panting hard. He was clearly furious at me. I stayed silent and didn't respond. After returning yesterday, Leno asked his Beta about what had happened over the past decade. Upon learning about Elisa, he immediately denied any intention to hold a mating ceremony with her. He even found the moonstone brooch I once gave him and started wearing it whenever he went out. When Elisa found out, she approached me this morning and asked to go to the cabin with me. ---- Of course, I agreed-after all, Elisa was my boss now. Elisa sat on the grass outside the cabin, sunlight filtering through the forest and casting a glow on her face-her face almost seemed to glow. Thad to admit-she was truly beautiful. Especially the way she silently cried in the sunlight-it felt like I was looking at myself 20 years ago. "Flora, look! I picked all these roses this morning. Do you like them?" Leno asked excitedly. "Sorry, but I don't like roses anymore." Ever since I learned of Leno's cheating, I had stopped liking roses. His father had been the pack's Alpha. He seduced Leno's mother, had her bear his child, and only then told her he'd already had a Luna. After bringing them back to the pack, he ignored them completely.
