Chapter 36
I clung to Lucian, my body jostling with each of his steps.
The motion made my stomach churn repeatedly.
My pretty face contorted in discomfort. We had just reached the bed.
“Ugh.” I felt a surge of nausea.
Lucian abruptly furrowed his brow and came to a halt.
“Seren, don’t you dare…” Before he finished, I vomited all over Lucian.
His anger dissipated in a flash, leaving him speechless and unable to express his frustration.
Without hesitation, Lucian roughly threw me onto the bed.
I uttered a stifled moan of pain.
Lucian stood beside the bed, staring at me, who was now clean despite vomiting on him.
His face was sullen. The wine’s scent was nice, but the vomit smelled horrible.
The strong odor forcefully entered his nose, making him want to throw up.
At that moment, Lucian really wanted to strangle me. He couldn’t endure it any longer. He turned and walked into
the bathroom.
Half an hour later, Lucian came out with a stern face. He quickly changed into the new clothes that had just been delivered, not even sparing a glance at me. With a look of displeasure, he stormed out, slamming the door behind
him.
Over the next month, I was incredibly busy.
I aimed to win the 150-thousand-silvercoin prize from the competition to buy a well-positioned grave for
Aurora.
I gave my all. Day and night, I worked tirelessly to finish the task.
Next, I waited for the results.
Time passed quickly, and the award ceremony day arrived.
I saw Orion backstage.
“Mr. Vale.” I greeted him eagerly, showing respect. Orion felt a deep sense of satisfaction.
Normally stern, he now wore a soft, gentle expression.
The result of the design competition was scheduled to be presented in the afternoon, it had already been finalized.
Gazing at me, his eyes glowed with a blend of satisfaction and appreciation for my talent. Orion said, “Seren, I always knew you’d come out on top if you chose to compete.”

Mar.
Saying it again made the meaning clear. But I found it hard to believe. I had put everything into the competition.
Until the end, I was unsure. I badly needed that 150 thousand silver coins.
All I wanted was to bury my daughter. In her short life, I wanted her to have at least something nice even though it was a grave.
Aurora had brought me immense joy.
I felt really regretful towards Aurora, knowing I didn’t give her the care and attention she should have.
I managed to contain my excitement, my voice quivering slightly as I inquired, “Mr. Vale, you mean…”
I’m looking forward to your celebration party. Don’t forget to invite me to your party.”
Orion patted my shoulder.
It was a straightforward, definitive, and upbeat response.
Thank you, Mr. Vale.” I held back my tears and nodded.
Orion left.
My tears flowed as I covered my lips and strode briskly towards the nearby restroom.

Ten minutes later, I left the restroom. At noon, I was too nervous to eat.
Now that I knew I could win the competition, I felt a sense of relief and an overwhelming hunger.
I decided to eat nearby before going back for my makeup.
After eating, I left the The Claw Deli.
I noticed two familiar people in the distance. It was Lucian and Ayla.
Ayla was holding Lucian’s arm gently, and they seemed very close.
Walking with them were the event’s organizer and the chief judge.
The organizer and the chief judge showed Lucian great respect.
I noticed Ayla’s bright smile. For some reason, my heart skipped a beat. I suddenly had a bad feeling.
A
sense
of unease crept into my heart.
I shook my head, telling myself not to overthink.
There were four hours until the afternoon award ceremony.
I was in the backstage doing my makeup when my phone rang suddenly.
Seeing it was Orion’s call, my unease grew stronger.
“Sorry, I need to take this call. Please wait a moment.”
I apologized to the makeup staff, stood up, and went outside to answer the phone, “Mr. Vale.”
“Seren, forget about what I said to you just now. You will have your chance next time.”
These words almost caused me to drop my phone.
“Mr. Vale, what do you mean by that?” I pressed, eager to get to the bottom of it.
Orion felt a sense of helplessness. He deeply admired my talent and was highly appreciative of my competition entry this time. Trying to console me, he said, “Seren, the first prize’s not everything.”
Orion didn’t realize how important that was to me.
I asked in a shaky voice, my emotions on the brink of unraveling, “Mr. Vale, is it because my work isn’t good enough?”
“Of course not!” Orion immediately denied it.
“Then why?”
Due to my intense emotions, my voice became slightly sharper.
“Seren, once you get into this field, you’ll see what I mean. Sometimes, money has this overwhelming power that we can’t really fight against. But don’t let it get you down. I really believe in you. With your knack for design,

I swallowed hard, trying to push down the lump in my throat. As Orion spoke, my mind flashed back to the scene I had seen earlier that afternoon.
At that moment, my uneasy suspicion from earlier was suddenly confirmed.
I abruptly asked, “Ayla got first place, didn’t she?”
“How do you know?” Orion’s automatic question confirmed my thought.
I bit my lip and, trying to keep my feelings in check, said, “Mr. Vale, I get it.”
Without waiting for an answer or being polite, I hung up.
My eyes flashed with anger and turned bloodshot, and I hurried to the Alpha’s lounge.
The door was slightly open.
‘Bang.” I shoved it open forcefully.
For three years being the alpha Simon’s mate, Emily’s wolf had been bound 108 times. Binding and releasing her wolf so many times had severely damaged her brain….
