The Right Time for Amnesia to Hit

Meanwhile, I was in the ward watching Leno and Lucas play with toys meant for wolf pups.

Leno had learned from Beta Jack that I had already had a pup with him and asked me to bring Lucas over.

"Flora, look! Our pup is so smart!" he exclaimed.

Leno held up the structure they had built—two pairs of similar-looking eyes gazed at me brightly, full of anticipation.

It had been five years since I'd last seen such an intimate moment between father and son.

Because of his unique status, Leno had been isolated in the pack since childhood—he had no playmates and no toys.

Now that he had returned to his 20s, he was even more excited about playing than Lucas was.

There was a knock on the door, and the healer, sweating nervously, asked me to come discuss the treatment plan.

"If you help Leno recover his memory, I'll let your pup be the next Beta," Elisa said haughtily.

Her lofty attitude made it seem as if she were bestowing a favor by determining my pup's future. She actually had the nerve to suggest that Lucas, with Alpha blood, could serve as her pup's Beta.

Those two wolves truly were a match made in heaven.

I remembered three years ago, when Leno first brought up breaking our mate bond—he used the same patronizing tone and said, "Lucas is my pup too. Even if I break the mate bond with you, I'll still make him the pack's Beta."

The position of a Beta in the pack was indeed a high one. However, Leno forgot who'd stayed by his side when he was outcast by his peers, who'd taken him in when he was exiled, and who'd helped him build this pack—our pup, Lucas, should have been the Alpha's heir.

Behind Elisa, Beta Jack's expression darkened—just one sentence from her had stripped his own pup of the chance to inherit the Beta position.

For the past three years, I had refused to break the mate bond because of Lucas' Alpha bloodline. But last month, Leno told me Elisa was pregnant, and if her child had Alpha blood, he would immediately change the heir.

That was when I finally decided to break the mate bond and leave tha pack with Lucas. I couldn't let Elisa's pup become Lucas' Alpha!

Now that the opportunity was in my hands, of course, I had to seize it.

I suppressed the thoughts that surged in my mind and looked straight at Elisa as I spoke. "200 million dollars."
