“But we're not even married anymore. It’s been five years. Why is he still hung up on that?” | asked, confused.
“We don’t know. Even during your marriage, he was still respectful. But after you left the pack, he changed. He
beccold-hearted,” Garrett said, thinking back to when Kane started acting differently.
| took Diana’s hand and rubbed it gently. “Everything will be okay. Please don’t cry.”
She nodded and wiped her tears, “I'm just worried about my husband.”
| looked at Garrett, who seemed so weak. My own tears started falling, and | quickly wiped them away.
| was always emotional - | couldn’t stand seeing others suffer. Alpha Garrett was someone | deeply respected. |
remembered him healthy and strong, with an aura that commanded respect. Now that powerful man lay here,
weak and frail.
Even though | wanted to get back to my pack, | couldn’t say anything right then. | planned to leave the hospital
that night after our visit.
After a while, Diana sat on the edge of the bed while | stayed on the stool.

“Where have you been all these years?” Diana asked.
| knew | had to answer carefully. | couldn't reveal my true identity - definitely not now. | also didn’t want them
knowing I'd gotten my wolf.
What if they asked about my mate? | didn’t want to pile up more lies. How could | possibly tell them their son,
who I'd divorced years ago, turned out to be my mate?
“I was in the Iron Crown Pack,” | said.
Garrett perked up. “How did you end up there?”
His question brought back memories of the day | left Nightfall Pack - memories I'd been turning over in my mind
for years.
“My brother-" | caught myself immediately.
“Your what?” Diana asked.
| cleared my throat. “That day, luck was on my side. Alpha Magnus foundat their border.”
| could see the surprise on their faces. They were hungry for more details.
“Since | looked pretty rough, he askeda lot of questions. When | explained | had nowhere to go, he let me
stay. He's a good man.”
| couldn’t help smiling when | talked about Magnus. Among powerful Alphas, he was one of the
kindest.
Garrett caught my smile and asked curiously, “Are you close to him?”
| laughed. “Of course | am. It’s just that Alpha Magnus is highly respected, and | admire him. Nothing
more.”
Diana smiled. “We heard about your fiancé. I'm glad you're starting fresh with someone you care about.”

“Yes, he does,” | said softly.
| knew they were misunderstanding my relationship with Axel. But | couldn't lie about how well he treated me.
| felt a hand stroking my hair. Looking up, | saw Diana smiling at me. “Don’t worry about what others think.
You're an amazing woman. | know you'll find the happiness you deserve.”
| stared at her. Early in my marriage to Kane, she couldn’t stand me. But over time, she'd grown to like me. Now
she was like a mother to me.
| decided | should cclean about Axel and me. | needed to explain that he was just trying to protect
“Actually, Axel and I-”
The door opened before | could finish, and a group of doctors walked in.
Diana and | stood up. The doctors bowed slightly to Garrett and Diana.
Even though they’d stepped down from their positions, they still deserved respect.
As | looked at the doctors, my eyes landed on someone standing in front.
He was staring attoo, looking shocked, like he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
I smiled at him. “Doctor Nathan.”
