His eyes lingered on the tree. The first time Nira stepped into this courtyard, she stopped and smiled. “It’s beautiful.” Even now, I ca
still see that smile.
For three years, I’ve had the staff tend to the tree with painstaking care. Every branch. Every blossom. Because when she finally com back, I want the first thing she sees to be a tree overflowing with flowers, just like the day she fell in love with it.
While Kade was thinking about Nira, she was hiding in the Silvermoon Pack. And after what felt like forever, her phone finally received a text message, “Nira, if you don’t come back soon, Mr. Howell is going to get engaged to someone else!”
That night, the city glittered with lights.

The ballroom was packed with influential figures from every major Pack. Champagne flowed freely. Conversations buzzed everywhere. The atmosphere was lively.
“Tessa, slow down!” Derrick hurried after her, afraid she might trip over her dress and fall.
“No way.” Tessa lifted her skirt without the slightest concern for elegance. “I need to get inside.” She huffed. “Someone has to ke an eye on Mr. Howell for Nira. You didn’t see the way Olivia was looking at him. She’s practically trying to eat him alive.”
Across the ballroom, Kade stood among the crowd in a perfectly tailored black suit, his frame and commanding presence dra every eye in the room.
Yet despite the attention surrounding him, his gaze remained distant and detached. As if nothing around him truly mattered.
“Kade.” A clear female voice sounded behind him. He turned and saw a woman in a red evening gown approaching gracefully
Her flawless makeup accentuated her sharp, elegant features. It was Olivia Vance, the eldest daughter of the Vance family.
“Ms. Vance.” Kade gave a polite nod. His tone remained courteous and distant.
Olivia smiled, raising her champagne glass slightly. “I heard Howell Group secured the Solmere Pack project. Congratulations.”
‘Thank you.”
Their conversation was brief and formal, with nothing beyond the usual pleasantries. Yet the sight of them standing together immediately attracted attention.
After all, Olivia was the daughter of an Alpha from Wildgust Pack and the treasured daughter of one at the Four Great Families Freshly returned from studying abroad, she was already making a name for herself as a brilliant businesswoman.
Meanwhile, Kade stood at the pinnacle of power As the head of Howell Group and the future Alpha King, he was young powerful, and respected by all. To everyone watching, they looked perfect together.
Whispers quickly spread through the crowd. “I heard Ms. Vance and Mr. Howell almost got engaged five years ago. She left for Meridia before it could happen.”
