Chapter 97
Then I thought, perhaps Gina gs right, Rachel was too gentle for that. Even knowing I planned to kill her, she never showed
hatred.
After hours of internal debate, I finally reached for the letter. With lightly trembling fingers, I took a deep breath, tore open the envelope, and began to read.
Dear Nathan,
Please allow me to call you that.
When you open this letter, is your brow furrowed as usual? You may never have known, but I’ve secretly kissed your forehead countless times while you slept beside me.
Like every woman in love, I once prayed for someone who would cherish and protect me. I never imagined finding you–someone a thousand times better than my dreams.
I fell for you instantly. I remember everything: the rain on the night arrived, your scent, the way light caught your cufflinks.
My love was quiet, too afraid to show itself fully, but I cherished everything about you–even your cold tone and angry glares.
These months with you were my happiest.
But dreams must end. You’re an Alpha with responsibilities–a war to fight, people to protect. I’ve become a burden, and seeing you torn between duty and me breaks my heart.
So I’ll make this choice for us both. My child and I won’t trouble you anymore. Don’t search for us.
Please stay strong and find happiness. That’s all I ask.
I love you.
-Rachel
After finishing the letter, I exhaled deeply, closing my eyes, letting Rachel’s words sink into my soul. A tear escaped, rolling down my cheek, glistening silver in the moonlight.
She doesn’t hate me? She… loves me? How can I bear the thought that I drove her to her death?
I gently traced my fingers over her handwriting, feeling the slight indentations on the paper. I brought the letter to my lips, kissing
it as if it were her soft lips, then carefully placed it back in the envelope and into my inner pocket, close to my heart.
“I’ll do as you ask, Rachel. I promise,” I whispered, my voice heavy in the silent room.
I don’t remember how long I sat there, lost in memories of her. Eventually, with her letter securely against my chest, I moved toward the bed.
She needs me to be a good Alpha, and I will be.
Though all evidence indicated she was gone, reading her words brought a strange peace. Tears stung my eyes as I all truly mourn this beautiful woman and the child I might never know.

Finally, exhaustion overcame me, and I fell into sleep.

Chapter 97
In my dream. I saw her face.
This time, she wasn’t standing on a cliff but in the center of a moont garden filled with starlight, wearing a flowing ivory dress, her copper hair crowned with disies. Her eyes sparkled with gentleness, her lips curved in a sweet smile.
Don’t worry, Nathan. Everything will be alright. I love you,” dream chel said, her voice like clear water flowing in a stream
She raised her hand to touch my face, and for the first time in ages, felt calm. I reached out to embrace her, but her figure began to blut.
When I finally woke, my eyes were crusted with dried tears, the salty remnants of a night spent drowning in sorrow.
I wiped my eyes, lying there staring at the ceiling. Morning light had begun to filter through the windows.
“Rachel is gone,” I murmured, trying to accept this fact. Despite all the evidence, it still didn’t feel real.
Then I felt something strange–a pulling sensation I’d never experienced before. It started as a warmth deep in my abdomen, as if something far away was gently pulling me toward it.
It was an unsettling feeling I couldn’t describe, both familiar and alien. I found myself placing a hand on my abdomen, just as I’d seen Rachel do many times.
Deciding I’d had enough of this strange experience, I got out of bed and headed for the shower.
This was the first day of the rest of my life, and I needed to accept that Rachel was gone.
