My Heart Is Now Yours

I don't expect to be reunited with Reyn Aldric, the heir of Frostfang Clan, at a banquet to celebrate his ascendance. I also don't expect him to throw me out heartlessly.

As I walk along a deserted street, my mind replays Reyn's mocking words. "You abandoned me for money and status, Ms. Valtara. Do you regret your actions now that I've become an heir? Throw this materialistic gold digger out! I don't want to see her anywhere near me!"

And so, I'm thrown out of the banquet hall just like that. I fall to the floor.

It's been five years. I didn't think he would still hate me so. Then again, it makes sense. Who wouldn't hate someone who left them when they were on the brink of death?

But my dear Reyn isn't dead. He's alive and well; he can even get mad at me without worrying about it affecting his health.

I'm about to die, though. I don't even deserve to be emotional.

Why? Because my Heart of the Wolfkin beats in Reyn's body.

The exact moment Reyn Aldric was officially reinstated as the heir of the Frostfang Clan in the Moonlit Hall, I received a message from my attending witch doctor, Ivy Harrington.

"Serena, if you don't replace your heart soon, you won't have much time left."

My face flushed red, but the life-or-death notice, still fresh in my mind, kept me composed.

"Your Highness, congratulations on reclaiming your place in the Frostborne royal family. So, would you be willing to lend me three million dollars?"

The hall fell into dead silence, broken only by a thunderous command, "Throw her out! From now on, I never want to see this greedy woman again!"

I was unceremoniously dragged out in disgrace.

What Reyn didn't know was that the heart now beating in his body belonged to me—the Heart of the Wolfkin.

Back at the Sanctuary of Healing, an unexpected surprise awaited me. Reyn had actually transferred three million dollars to my account.

I froze for a moment, my emotions a chaotic mess.

The next morning, just as I was about to leave for my follow-up appointment, a luxury car pulled up in front of me. The man who stepped out was none other than Reyn, accompanied by his current partner, Luna Everhart.

"Selena, where are you off to? Don't tell me you heard I'd personally be auditing the Sanctuary of Healing's funds and got so scared that you decided to flee." Reyn's voice carried the unmistakable authority of someone in power.

Five years had passed. He was still as strong and imposing as ever. But the one who now stood
