I suppressed my anger and did not shout at Faulkner. He was just a messenger. The one truly refusing to give me any respect was Laila.

“All my money has been used to prepare for the mate ceremony. I don’t have any extra for now. Go back and tell Laila that I will gather the money as soon as possible and repay her. Ask her to wait a little longer.”

“As soon as possible?” Faulkner said, raising his voice slightly. “Alpha Holt, how soon is that exactly? Could you give me a specific deadline? That way I can report back properly to Ms. Conlay.”

“Within a month. Within one month, I will definitely return the money to her.”

I held myself back again and again before I managed not to roar.

Faulkner nodded. Then he took out a small notebook and wrote something down while speaking. “Understood, Alpha Holt. I will return to Ironclaw Pack in 30 days to collect the payment. I hope you won’t disappoint Ms. Conlay’s trust.”

After saying that, he gave me a small smile and left.

I was almost furious enough to explode.

“If it weren’t for that crazy woman, Laila might have forgotten about this debt,” Vick grumbled unhappily in my mind.

“That’s right. Laila isn’t a petty woman. Maris must have angered her,” I replied.

Daphne had told me that during the days when I was away at war, Laila had been the one managing Ironclaw Pack. Whenever money was needed anywhere, Laila had always been generous. And besides, she possessed assets worth hundreds of millions. There was no way she would care about this amount of money. Maris must have offended Laila yesterday, which was why Laila sent Faulkner here to collect the debt.

But I did not feel like confronting Maris about it. These days, we had argued so much that I was completely exhausted. We argued either because I refused to share the pain of the mark, or because Victoria was about to become the primary Luna of Ironclaw Pack. I was truly tired. I did not want to argue with her anymore.

But I did not expect the beta steward to report Faulkner’s visit to my mother as well. I had no choice but to explain that Maris had gone to Silvermoon Pack. My mother immediately became anxious.

“That troublemaker. She’s nothing but trouble. What were you thinking when you chose her back then? It wasn’t enough for her to smash things at home every day, now she even ran to Silvermoon Pack to smash things. Is Silvermoon Pack someone we can afford to offend now? Doesn’t she own a mirror? With that face of hers, did she go there just to embarrass herself?”

My mother grabbed my hand. “Holt, you need to ask her what she went there for. What if she went to ask Laila to stop your marriage with Blackrock Pack?”

“That shouldn’t be the case, right?” I said, stunned.

“Why not?” my mother shouted sharply. “She has nothing left now. Of course she’s afraid another woman will come take her Luna position! Laila probably still loves you too. If those two women join forces, the marriage with Blackrock Pack will be ruined!”

I could not help frowning when I heard that. I wanted to say that Laila no longer loved me. She was going to form a mate bond with Prince Vance. But I could not bring myself to say it. It was as if, as long as I did not say the words, it would not become reality.

And what I did not want to admit was that part of me actually hoped Laila would interfere with the marriage. At least that would prove that she still had feelings for me. Even though I never said it out loud, I knew better than anyone else that I truly regretted everything. I regretted it deeply. She had been my fated mate, the mate I once dreamed of. But later I had been blind and foolish. I had lost her with my own hands. Now she was about to become someone else’s

Luna.

And I also had to marry a woman I did not love and make her my Luna, simply because it was His Majesty’s intention and it would benefit the development of Ironclaw Pack. When I thought about it, I even felt humiliated. Was I any different from those prostitutes who sold their bodies for profit? I was doing the same thing. Selling myself in exchange for benefits.

What was even more ridiculous was that I had once believed my relationship with Maris was unwavering love. But now? What exactly was it?

Without realizing it, I had already walked to the door of Maris’s room. After hesitating for a moment, I still went in.

Maris was still lying on the bed, her face covered with a black veil. Ever since her disfigurement could not be healed, she had worn a veil constantly. Before, whenever I saw her, she always looked like an angry rooster ready to fight me at any moment. But today she looked weak and sickly. When she saw me, she only glanced up briefly before lowering her eyes again and ignoring me.
