Chapter 5
When Tessa arrived, they merely glanced at her.
Their bodies remained turned toward Chloe as they chatted, paying her no mind.
They couldn’t help but critique Tessa,
“Tessa, if only you were as lively and cute as Chloe p>
“I really wish we had a daughter like Chloe, we need a perfect Luna like her p>
It wasn’t the first time they’d said such things, and Tessa was becoming numb to it.
Bubshe had always been distant, unable to show any other side of herself to these people.
Chloe smiled cheerfully and responded,
“Don’t worry, you can treat me like your own daughter.
“Even though Tessa isn’t very likable, I’ll still help her win your favor and continue to take care of the pack p>
Her words flowed effortlessly, and in no time, Rig and Olivia were laughing along with her.
Ryan, sitting nearby, grinned too.
His gaze on Chloe was one of pure admiration, as if she were his masterpiece, his trophy. He looked at her with pride.
He was the second son of the Silver Moon pack. Growing up in his older brother’s shadow, he had always been overshadowed by the idea that his brother was perfect the future Alpha the pack had been waiting for. Everyone anticipated that once his brother found his mate, they’d take care of the pack together.
But when Ryan met his mate, she died, and his wolf grew weak, dragging him into despair. He spent his days drowning his sorrows in
bars.
Then he met Tessa–the so–called perfect Luna, his destined mate. The pack had new hope, and Ryan was able to step out of his brother’s shadow. He couldn’t give up on Tessa.
He gently touched Chloe’s thigh, and they exchanged a glance, smiling at each other.
She understood him, so he loved her.
Tessa watched them silently, her thoughts distant
Shur just wanted to leave. Maybe no one could understand her feelings, but she hated these kinds of situations.
“Tessa, why don’t Alpha and Luna like us p>
“Clara, it’s not our fault. Don’t be sad p>
“We’ll be fine once we leave the pack p>
In the past, Ryan had always found excuses to take her away, never caring what others said.
But now, she looked at the man belure her, doing nothing
Had he been hiding too well, or had Tessa only realized too late?

way.
She didn’t have time to dwell on it, rushing g out into the rain and back into the car.
Only after settling Chloe into the car did Ryan finally step out, his gaze freezing when he saw Tessa drenched in rain.
He paused, then quickly explained.
“Chloe’s always been delicate. If she gets wet, she’ll get sick. I just took her to the car first. You’re not upset, right p>
“Babe, why didn’t you wait for me to get you p>
Realizing his mistake, Ryan immediately apologized.
Tessa responded softly,
“It’s fine p>
Ryan knew that Tessa wasn’t one to hold grudges. If she said it was fine, he felt it was no big deal.
But in Tessa’s heart, Ryan had long since rotted away.
On the way back, Tessa didn’t say a word.
tfelt as though they were strangers to each other.
If she could, Tessa would have preferred never having met him.
Tessa went back to the Bloodmoon pack, cleared out all of her belongings, except for one diary.
That diary contained all the memories of her childhood.
She thought of it as her final gift to Alpha Liam and Luna Audrey. No one knew why she was packing up, nor did anyone care.
When Audrey saw her leaving the pack house with her suitcase, she simply coldly asked,
“ What’s going on? Are you really leaving the pack for good p>
“You better pray you don’t get into any trouble with another pack. We won’t help you.
Maybe from the moment they found out Tessa wasn’t their biological daughter, they stopped seeing her as a member of the pack.
They couldn’t wait to send her to another pack
Tessa didn’t answer. She simply glanced back at Luna Audrey, who had raised her for twenty years.
Did she have no feelings at all?
She looked at Audrey and slowly whispered,
“Goodbye p>
