After I said everything I needed to say, Kade’s eyes darkened, almost as if he was reluctant to let me go.

That struck me as odd. I was a wolfless girl–a nobody–calling off our engagement. Shouldn’t that have been exactly what he wanted?

Besides, everyone already assumed I wasn’t good enough for him.

Maybe I was just misinterpreting the situation.

He stayed silent for a moment before asking softly, “Are you sure about this?”

I nodded and answered firmly, “Yes. I’ve made up my mind.”

Kade studied me for a long beat before finally nodding. “Alright. I respect your decision.”

“How far do you want to take this?” Kade asked.

I glanced at him, thought it over for a second, and replied, “Just make sure every pack in the surrounding territories hears about it.”

Kade gave a slight nod. “Got it. I’ll handle it.”

Third–Person POV:

That night, the news of Kade and Nira calling off their engagement hit the upper crust of the Pack Alliance like a bombshell.

Most people adopted a “told you so” attitude, acting as if they’d known the engagement was doomed from the start.

Those who envied Nira started running their mouths, mocking the fact that a wolfless loser like her couldn’t manage to latch onto the powerful Howell family after all.

At the same time, Kade’s rivals used the opportunity to attack him, labeling him as ungrateful -after all, when he was critically ill, Nira had agreed to bond with him and saved his life.

The media outlets had a field day, painting Kade as heartless–the kind of man who tossed people aside the moment they were no longer useful.

The more extreme critics even released joint statements declaring that he didn’t deserve to be the heir to the Alpha King.

Nira’s POV:

When I saw all the trash being written about Kade, I suddenly realized I might have been too hasty in my decision.

I hadn’t expected that breaking off the engagement would blow up in his face like this.

I grabbed my phone and called Kade immediately.

The moment he picked up, I apologized. “Kade, I’m so sorry. I didn’t think things would spiral out of control like this. Those news stories… they’re causing you a lot of trouble, aren’t they? Do you need me to do something to fix it?”

Kade’s voice remained as gentle as ever, almost as if he were trying to soothe me. “It’s fine. I’ll deal with it. This has nothing to do with you, so don’t blame yourself.”

Hearing that only made me feel worse. “But… all those people attacking you—”

Kade let out a soft chuckle, his tone light. “A few rumors aren’t going to hurt me. More importantly, don’t let the gossip get under your skin. We ended this together, so you don’t need to feel guilty about it.”

I stayed quiet for a moment before finally murmuring, “Thank you, Kade.”

Kade’s POV:

After I managed to calm Nira down and hung up, I rubbed my exhausted eyes.

I had just come out of a lengthy meeting attempting to manage the PR nightmare caused by the announcement of our broken engagement.

As the heir to the Alpha King, I possessed a powerful wolf spirit and had never felt drained by the demands of leadership before.

But this time, realizing that Nira had broken things off with me, I felt more exhausted- mentally and physically–than I ever had in the past.

Before I could even catch a break, Jett walked in.

Chapter 177 Blowback

“Mr. Howell, your mother is acting up again.”

Ever since I fell into that coma, my mother had been confined to the villa by Edith.

She threw a fit every single day, demanding to be released. And once she found out I had woken up, reclaimed control, and locked Colt away, she spiraled even further out of control.

She had only ever cared about Colt.

Jett’s report immediately fired me up. I took a deep breath and asked, “What has she done now?”

Jett hesitated, then lowered his voice. “She has been… throwing things. And she’s demanding to see you. She says if you don’t release Colt, she’ll… she’ll kill herself to prove a point.”

I clenched my fists, fighting to suppress the ache in my chest, and let out a cold scoff.

“Kill herself to prove a point? She really would go to any length for him.”

Jett lowered his head, not daring to say a word.

He was well aware that my relationship with my mother had soured long ago. The more Mary defended Colt, the more resentment I felt toward her.

So, whenever he had to report on her behavior, he always looked uncomfortable. Poor guy.

I was only a few days old when my mother adopted Colt.

For as long as I could remember, my mother’s eyes were always fixed on him, her adopted son. As for me? I never received even half the maternal love she showered on him.

She handed me off to the servants to raise while she looked after Colt personally, justifying it as “building independence” in the future Alpha King.

Things only went downhill after my father passed away.
