Zora’s POV
“Every day, I spent my days crying. In fact, I’ve cried too many times this year compared to my entire life. Still, the tears aren’t enough. The pain is still very new to me. When Darius rejected Shanon publicly, I felt relieved yet ashamed at the same time. I was relieved that you wouldn’t have to go through the same humiliation twice and I was also ashamed because I already fell short to that test,” Casey told me as he held my hand gently.
“My heart’s still beating for you, Zora. There’s nothing that I can do about that. I love you. I realize that I’m not supposed to feel like that ever again, but I can’t stop loving you. What happened to us wasn’t your fault or Lori‘ s fault. That was all mine. All I had to do was reject her and love you, but I wished to have it all. I was being possessive and cruel. I was also mean to you. While I might not beat or humiliate you like both Shepherd and Cruz had done to Kara and Elose, I forced you to share me with Lori. I slept with her in the very house that we bought together. After that, I left our room to go to her room to make my wolf happy. What I did was evil, so I deserved to lose you to Darius,” my ex–husband continued as he wiped away his tears.
“Darius is indeed an awesome guy. I’m glad that you ended up with a great man like him. Initially, I was so afraid that he would put you in his harem. However, he did the right thing by choosing to love you that was beyond my capability,” the man said, causing me to relax a bit more.
“I wish you to realize that I support your love with him. Both Darius and you get my support,” he finally said, which made tears fall down my face because I realized that Casey was really talking from his heart.
No matter how painful it might be for Casey, he already talked from his

heart. I could see his wolf flash before me. My wolf, Monica, quickly
recognized his wolf. There was a time when we had each other’s marks and loved each other. So, that was only fair for us to recognize our wolves.
“I wish to be your companion, Zora. I don’t want to totally give you up. I‘ ve already learned to love you from a distance and to acknowledge my life. Please don’t deprive me of your companionship. I’ll never let you down again. I’ll always support you. I’ll never try to make things difficult for you, Zora. I beg of you. I wish you to realize that I support your upcoming wedding. Not only that, I hope that both you and Darius get the best life could offer. Don’t ignore me,” the man said as he begged to me with his sad eyes, which caused me to put my arms around him as I cried.
At the same time, my heart felt happy and broken. Casey eventually put his arms around my waist. I could even feel him breathing in my scent. The man finally released me. My hug still stayed for a while, but I quickly released him from my hug. It was the time for me to speak about Lori to my ex–husband. While I wasn’t going to enforce my opinion. I felt the need to inform him of my opinion.
“Casey,” I called his name, making him concentrate on me.
“About Lori,” I started to speak, but he turned upset as he kept shaking his head.
“Please listen to me.” I tried to talk to him while the man tried his best to regain his composure.
“I guess both of you maybe can start over your life,” I told him, but he immediately disagreed with that idea.
“Lori never really aided them. Instead, she told them lies until her father declared her as wanted. As messed up as Lori was, she loved you and fought hard for it. Indeed, I do agree that she’s not supposed to lie to you. However, you also have to get where she came from. Having a father like

that would make her do anything to stay alive and escape,” I slowly explained, but I knew that my words were ignored.

“The thing that I’m asking you is that you’ll try again with her. With Ramsey already out of our lives, please try to have a relationship with her again. Casey. I’ve already forgiven her. Now that both Darius and I are fated mates. I’m sure that everything is meant to happen. Indeed, you were meant to find Lori as I was meant to find Darius. While the things that happened were miserable and painful. I’m happy with where I’m right now. If there was something that I noticed when all of us lived together, it was that Lori cherished you in her own way. I’m telling you to give it another go for the sake of your pups,” I told him, which softened his eyes.
“I’ll have the pups tested. There’s absolutely no way that she’ll trap me like Samanta did to Cruz,” the man said as I nodded my head.
“That’s good. Have the pups tested. But I’ll suggest you try if the pups turned out to be yours, Casey. After all, she risked her life for you.“I told my ex–husband, but he still shook his head.
“She’s supposed to tell me the real truth,” Casey insisted, but I disagreed with him because I realized that Casey would be hard for Lori to be approached.
“I know you very well, Casey. When you’re upset, you’re hard to talk with. I’m confident that you just ignored her most of the time. Lori could be trying to stay alive as she tried to maintain her relationship with you. I‘ m telling you to restart your relationship with her. I’ve already forgiven you and I’ve also forgiven Lori. In my opinion, both of you should forgive each other. Her father is trying to get her killer thanks to you, so don’t you ever sacrifice her,” I voiced my opinion firmly as I realized that words would be ignored by him.
I had tried my best as I wished that Casey could see the best of it to try to restart his relationship with his fated mate when everything was already handled. Since both Darius and I had been fated, the feeling felt very

different. I didn’t wish for Casey to lose his fated mate. After that, we talked about both Cruz and Shepherd. We then laughed about those two idiots for a while.
When we talked, I had a glass of milk while he drank juice. It felt like the old times when both of us were younger as love didn’t make our lives difficult. In fact, I could even see some light in his eyes. It felt as if some weight had been lifted. I hoped that the undertaking we had been planning to work on would succeed for all our sakes. Then, the person or people who hid behind the king’s identity would come out. That way, we could take care of them.
After that, I left Casey as I was going to the harem quarters to speak with Cindy. I was looking forward to hearing her straight–up lying to me. The moment she was done lying to me, I would lock her up and put her to the dungeon under the worst environment. I wouldn’t be merciful with her. As for both Anika and Olga, they would end up suffering at my hands.
I told Brian Wilson to prepare it through the mind–link, I already made up my mind by applying some torture regarding Cindy. Still, I wasn’t ready to meet Lori. For her, I would make sure to save her for the last. In fact, I actually hesitated that Lori would try to lie to me after everything that happened. Besides, I also had my hesitation that Casey would give her another opportunity.
However, that wasn’t my problem anymore. Lori already fucked up her opportunity the moment she didn’t believe in Casey enough to tell him the real truth. I eventually entered Cindy’s room when I discovered that she was lying on her bed. Soon enough, she sat up from her bed while her roommate left the room to let me speak with Cindy.
