Chapter 7
Zora’s POV
“Everyone, stop with the goddamn nonsense!” Hardy, the Alpha, shouts at the crowd, which the crowd quickly obeys as they start to disperse.
Meanwhile, Lori immediately gets sick after what just happened that prompts Casey to take her back to my home. Initially, Casey wants me to go with both Lori and him. I have to rebuke his offer. After all, I’m pretty sure that Lori doesn’t want to be in the same car with me. Seeing that he doesn’t have any choice, he leaves. Still, I can see the fear in his eyes.
“Zora, let’s go home, okay? We can always talk things out every time there’s a problem. Only then, we can make a better living situation for everybody. Remember, I still love you…” Casey talks to me through the mind–link as he leads Lori away.
As for Kara, she also tells me that she can’t bring me home. Obviously, I don’t have to guess the reason. The fear described in her eyes is enough to tell me that she is scared of somebody deeply. On the other hand, I also can’t understand why everyone just pretends that nothing happens in the first place. Besides, there’s zero way that the other Alphas have actually no idea about what’s happening to both me and Lori. Yet, they choose to ignore this problem. It tells that something is indeed off.
After everything is pretty much settled. Hardy asks his Beta to bring me to my home which I’m very grateful for. To my surprise, I can’t help but be stunned when I see Casey is waiting for me in the living room. Even worse, he seems extremely upset.
“Was that actually necessary, Zora?” he asks me angrily.
Soon enough, the tears quickly wet my eyes because I know very well that

“What the hell, Casey? Have you heard yourself? I just talked to a man, but you suddenly got mad at me while you’re fucking another woman every night which you think it’s okay because you believe it’s fate that we all should accept. Then, what about me, Casey? Where’s my happiness in all of this fucking bullshit?” I can’t help but ask him.
As soon as I tell him that, the man then stands up as he starts to walk towards me. Seeing him like this, I’m so scared that he’ll hit me. To my surprise, he actually doesn’t do that. Instead, he rubs his forehead against
mine.
“Don’t make me even more upset, Zora. You know that I’m trying here. You totally have no idea how it feels for me because you haven’t found your supposed mate. Please, Zora. Never disrespect me like that ever again. Can’t you see that I’ve been humiliated with it too? Now, the other Alphas are also mocking me. I’m not like Cruz nor Shepherd who will discipline you as soon as they see you with another man. Don’t turn me into a monster, Zora. Please, I’m really begging you now,” he says gently as he holds my arms tightly.
However, I know very well that he’s actually warning me.
“Let me go, then. Just send me somewhere so that we can be separated,” I tell him coldly, but he immediately shakes his head.
“You know that I can’t do that,” he responds to me which causes my tears to get out of my eyes again.
“Casey, do you even know what you’re saying? Please, just let me go. I – can’t live like this. I know well that me living together with you and Lora
will eventually weaken both your and my wolves. At least, we’ll be free,” I say this as I’m trying to reason with him, but he quickly steps away as soon as he hears it from me.

No, listen, Zora. It’s just not about my strength. It’s also about my life. And yours, too. I really love you, Zora. It’s extremely upsetting after we learned that our fates aren’t meant to be together. Hey, but we can always make things work, okay? With the three of us being together, we can do it. Please, Zora,” he then speaks out again, but I shake my head this time.
“Nah, it can’t work, Casey. What we’re doing right now isn’t working at all. I feel that you’ve been ignoring me because you’re with Lori. This living together with a three–people–living–under–the–same–roof lifestyle doesn’t suit me,” I finally confess my real feelings to him.
Soon enough, his eyes are darkened. Again, he speaks to me, “I know it. It’s because you reek of him. That’s why you’re all worked up. Don’t talk to him again, okay?”
Seeing that he doesn’t listen to me, I slowly backed off from him to go back to my room. When I’m taking my clothes off, Casey enters my room. After that, he looks at me as he says, “Let me take care of you tonight, okay?”
“You don’t have to,” I respond to him coldly, but the man still walks to me as he keeps gazing at me.
While I know that he’s hurt, his pain isn’t as much as me. Unlike me, he’s the one who wins everything, unlike me. As he keeps his gaze on me, he places his hands gently on my shoulders as he gently utters, “I will never let you go, Zora. I can’t.”
He continues to plead with tears brimming from his eyes, “It’s normal for someone like you who doesn’t understand to give up, Zora. I really get your anger over me. That’s why you flirted with Hardy earlier, right? I know fully well that your reason for giving up on us is valid. Yet, here I am to ask you to give us another chance. I believe that we’ll make this work Zora. Listen, babe. I’ll do anything for you, Zora. Yes, I’ve had my share of mistakes. Please tell me what I should do to keep you by my side. I’ll do anything to be with you, Zora. I’m truly hoping that you can teach

me how. I promise you that I’ll learn to be a better man, okay? Lori is something that I can’t control. You do know that I also tried. Please believe me, Zola.”
After that, the man goes onto his knees and hugs my legs. He tells me as he cries because I know that he’ll never let me go, “Please, believe me, Zora. I’m trying as best as I can. Please let me prove it to you. Let’s make it work, okay?”
“Get up, Casey,” I tell him calmly, which he quickly obeys.
When I’m looking at him, I can see the pain in his eyes. Clearly, he’s extremely conflicted about it. But I’m still upset, so I tell him, “Well, you can actually reject Lori. Instead, you let her father force her into our home. You even betrayed me by sleeping with her. Then, you pushed me aside as if I’m nothing. When I thought that we could share, you didn’t even leave her room. You also abandoned me, Casey! I’m also becoming at laughing stock. Most pack members no longer respect me, too, Casey! Did you know that? To their knowledge, I’m no longer their Luna. So, what do you want me to do, Casey? How do you want me to goddamn cope? It‘ s easy, actually. Just let me go. You just need to reject either me or Lori. It’ll be me, Casey. So, just let me go peacefully, okay?”
Still, Casey shakes his head. When I’m seeing him like this, my heart breaks even more. After all, we’re very perfect before. Both Casey and I have lots of happy memories. Why do we end up like this?
My husband swiftly leans closely to me before he kisses my lips. I just let him because I know that he really needs it. This whole situation is indeed messy. Although he’s the one who’s causing me pain, I’m comfortable with it. After all, my body also needs it.
Even I try to fool myself by thinking to myself, ‘Just for this once, please.‘
I know that I’m trying to justify what’ll happen to both of us. Besides, he’s my husband. So, it’s not wrong.

Not only that, my body is also aching for him. He’s right when he says that I’m turned on because I’m indeed turned on which makes me want him even more. Eventually, I’m giving up on my desires.
Instinctively, I wrap my legs around him. Somehow, I have a feeling that tonight will be a very long night for both of us. My wolf, Monica, even agrees with me.
While Casey may think that this is us trying to get a second chance, this is actually my farewell for him. I only have one more month before I get a response from the Alpha from the southern region, to whom I send a request. Once he responds to me, I’ll definitely leave no matter what he says. It’s just for the best.
I believe that Casey won’t let me go, but he won’t let Lori go too at the same time because of how he is. Seeing this, I don’t have any other choice than to decide for myself. I try my best to set aside my grudge as I’m giving in. Thus, I let him make love to me.
Throughout the night, Casey keeps making love to me. It feels as if he’s going to an audition. He wants me to remember our good times. He’s right. I’ll never forget my feelings for him. But I know that I have to ignore my own feelings because I don’t get hurt more than this.
I keep telling myself that there’s nothing wrong with being loved by him. He’s my husband, after all. Still, I’m afraid that I’ll get even more hurt when I let myself indulge in this. I don’t want to get hurt when I wake up alone on my bed. He keeps making love to me four times until I can’t catch up with him. I can’t help but wonder where the burning desire in him comes from.
It also reminds me of our happy memories that I know very well that it’ll be gone forever. When I wake up, I’m surprised to see Casey is lying next to me in our bed. I can’t help but want to cry. In fact, I really want to. What I’m seeing right now really reminds me of the time when I wake up next to him every morning before I go jogging.

Yet, fate is really cruel. I even have a very strong doubt on whether I’ll be happy or not. As soon as I’m getting up, I quickly wear my sleeping robe to cover my body. Suddenly, someone starts to bang on our door. It’s definitely Lori, who else?
What does she want? I never even bang her door like this. Why does she bang my door loudly?
Casey wakes up as he starts to look at me.
Here we go again, I guess.
