Marry You Again? Never! Get Away!

Denver seemed confused by my answer. But he was just waiting in silence, as if he was still expecting a response to his proposal.

“Alright, Denver. Listen to me now. Even if I have known your name and your identity, we are still strangers.

“Also, I will never tell you about my name. But one thing you should know, I am a wolfless. So, a Beta like you will never like me or marry me in the future. I even start to think if maybe my partner in the future is a human.

“What’s more, you will have your own mate, while I never will,” I explained.

But before I could continue, Denver had cut me and said, “I indeed have not met my mate yet. But I promise, even if I meet her, I will stay faithful for you. Perhaps the reason why my mate has no one around is because I am actually your mate.”

I shook my head and told him, “No way. Just forget it, I forgive you.”

When I was about to leave, he grabbed my hand and said, “We can start getting to know each other from now on.”

So, the most embarrassing day for me was becoming our first day.

During our relationship, Denver always showered me with extraordinary love.

I even felt lucky at that time, considering myself the happiest woman in the world if I could be his wife in the future.

Denver accepted all my shortcomings and made it the thing he was most proud of, saying that I was unique and lucky to have me.

Until the day before my graduation, my parents, who were supposed to come to attend the event, had an accident because they were driving in heavy rain.

Their car was struck by lightning, causing it to swerve and fall into a ravine. Even the evacuation was very slow because of the difficult terrain that had to be passed.

While my friends were enjoying a happy graduation day, I returned to the Silentcrest Pack to attend the funeral of my parents who were Alpha and Luna.

The title turned to my uncle, who was my father’s brother, in the end.

He promised to take care of me, but despair still swallowed me and the light in my world when I realized that I was orphaned at that time.

I could not help coming to my parents' grave every day to vent my complaints and also ask things that had no answers.

Why did they leave me first?

Why didn't they take me with them, so that I would not be alone in this world?

Why had everything happened to me?

In my most difficult times, Denver came with his black umbrella, sheltering me not only from the rain at that time but also from the suffering I felt.

I looked up to see his charming face.

Denver said sincerely, “Marry me, Ivy. I promise I will look after you forever.”

Right, I should have graduated from Fantomhide Academy by now. But because I had to grieve, I didn't attend the graduation ceremony and chose to drown in sadness.

I answered in a low tone, “You deserve to marry a better person, Denver. Don’t do this out of guilt. I have said I forgave you, right?"

“It’s not guilt. I love you, Ivy. I want to be the only person you can rely on in this world,” he said while crouching down to hug me.

When he hugged me, tears could not help falling from my eyes again.

It was so warm, the thing I didn’t expect to get after my parents were gone.

However, I still denied it. It was precisely because of my love for him that made me unable to receive his proposal.

When I was young, everyone was proud of me because I was the daughter of an Alpha. Moreover, I could quickly grasp every lesson given by my teachers.

I always won every match held specifically for young warriors, so many people thought that I would be a very helpful Luna candidate for my future mate.

But all that changed when I was 14 years old, when most werewolves started to get their own wolves.

My parents continued to encourage me, saying that one day, my wolf would also come. There were some cases that had to wait until 16 years old, so I was not worried.

However, after I was over 16 years old, I still did not have it. So, my parents sent me to the Fantomhide Academy for my own sake.

Although my family always supported me, I realized that I was not worthy of being together with other werewolves, so I was determined to join the human race after graduating.

That was the reason why I did not want him to be stuck with a wolfless like me forever.

In the end, I reasoned, “A Beta like you marrying a wolfless like me? I’m not worthy. You’ll face the gossip of the people if you bring a woman like me into your Pack.”

He locked eyes with me, sincerity in his voice when he said, "Ivy, I repeatedly said I did not care about it. What’s more, since you entered the Fantomhide Academy, I already have my eyes on you.”

“You reasoned about mate, but I never met my mate. When you reasoned about your condition, that's still not enough to make me stay away from you.

“I still love you and will always love you forever.”

His voice was soft, but there was a firm determination that touched my broken spirit. It ignited a glimmer of hope in my desperate heart.

Before he said his last sentence, the rain had already stopped.

“Will you marry me, Ivy Shannon?”

When I agreed to his proposal, we went to my uncle’s house to ask his permission.

When we came, my uncle looked so happy. But before giving his permission, he asked about my decision first.

After I said “Yes,” he gave me his blessing.

One month later, we got married and I moved to the Highridge Pack.

Everything went smoothly, I even became close to the Luna and noticed that no one was gossiping about my situation.

What stunned me was Denver turned out to be the most respected Beta in the Pack, that was why he used to be busy since he was the one that the Alpha chose to accompany him.

He was also a caring type man, showering me with love and attention. Every day was like the best day in my life when I was spending time with him.

Under his faithful care, we welcomed our son into the world.

The first time Denver held our boy, he promised me that he would take care of him all his life. Denver even said that he would be the first to defend him when Gabriel was in trouble.

At that time, I saw him as a guardian who would protect us from everything.

Like a soil who would make the plant could thrive and lean on him without worry.

What was more, no matter how busy Denver was with his work, he would always make time for our son.

He learnt to feed him, change his clothes and bath him. Denver also became the first one who saw our son walking.

I could not ask for more at that time, since everything was getting better day by day.

But like a storm in broad daylight, everything changed when Rosalyn came back to the Pack. She was Denver’s childhood friend, who shared a long history with him.

I actually never knew about Rosalyn before, but the Pack member itself who told me.

She was an Omega’s daughter that used to be in Denver’s house since then.

Because they shared the same house, Denver and Rosalyn were so close. Some of his friends even thought that they had been dating for one or two years before Denver went to the Fantomhide Academy.

However, Denver denied it and said that he only considered Rosalyn as his childhood friend.

Moreover, after her mother died, Rosalyn chose to leave the Pack and worked as a servant for the other Pack’s Alpha she met at the banquet.

Denver's family decided to let Rosalyn choose what she wanted after all, that was why she was not the Highridge Pack’s member anymore since then.

After her departure, Denver entered the Academy.

Since that time, no one had ever known about their relationship. But I remembered Denver told me that he was interested in me since he entered the Academy.

For some reason, my instincts suddenly told me that he was just venting his loss to me, but I tried to get rid of those negative thoughts when I first heard about Rosalyn.

However, after Denver's change in attitude towards me and my son, I began to validate my thoughts again.

Denver rarely came home, always distracted and started to distance himself from me. I even often noticed he smiled at the messages in his phone, something he wouldn't share with me.

Our once happy home started to feel strained, the love and attention he once showered on me and our son becoming a distant memory.

One evening, I confronted him.

"Is it Rosalyn?" I asked, my voice trembling.

He sighed, looking away when he replied, "She needs help and I’m just being a friend."

But his eyes told a different story.

The days turned into weeks and the tension grew. The warmth that once filled our home was replaced with an icy silence.

He still made time to spend the weekend with me and my son, but it didn't last long, especially after I had always talked about Rosalyn and asked about the reason for her return.

The time I dared to question him, I was always painted as the villain. In the end, I tried to find the clue about it by myself.

I found out if she was kicked out of the Pack, because the Alpha she served had already gotten a mate. It was said that Luna from the Pack didn't like her.

Since then, I had been worried that Rosalyn would endanger our relationship.

But when I argued about it, Denver would turn into a madman and give me a silent treatment. Until one day, he started to ignore us more and only came back once every few days.
