Once Gone, Gone for Good

After dating him for five years, my boyfriend, Jayden Porter, sends me 10 dollars. He asks me to buy our future matrimonial home with that money.

That same day, he transfers 3 million dollars to his dream girl, Lina Doux, to buy her a grand detached villa in Centralis.

I decided to break up with him out of frustration, but he accuses me of being greedy for money.

"Your house is still livable, so why buy another one? When did you become such a gold digger?"

"Lina and I are childhood friends, so what's wrong with me giving her money?

"On the other hand, you're scheming to get your hands on my wealth despite us not being married yet. I'm so disappointed in you!"

He turns around and proposes to Lina.

Six years later, we encounter each other again in the werewolf kingdom based in Centralis—the Darkmoon Kingdom.

He's about to become Centralis' Beta. Lina is by his side, wearing a haute couture dress.

When he sees me covered in mud and rummaging through trash, he mocks me with disgust, "You looked down on 10 dollars back then, Emily Everhart, but now you're digging through trash cans like a beggar.

"Do you think you'll be able to earn money by selling scraps? Even if you put on a sorry act in front of me, I won't show you any pity!"

I glance coldly at him and continue to search for my pup's favorite ring. I had unknowingly discarded it like common trash.

In Centralis' most luxurious castle, Jayden Porter appeared down the corridor wearing a suit and tie. He was holding the arm of Lina Doux, who stood next to him in a haute couture dress.

Their good looks drew the attention of many people, and those who knew them gathered around enthusiastically.

"Congratulations on becoming the Beta of Centralis, Jayden."

"In just six years, you've been promoted from an ordinary werewolf to a Beta. How amazing!"

"I heard that the Alpha King will also be attending your inauguration ceremony today."

Jayden smiled and exchanged pleasantries with everyone, his eyes shining with unconcealed pride. He said, "Thank you for all your well-wishes, everyone."

I was momentarily stunned, pausing in my search through a trash can in a corner. I didn't expect Jayden to become the new Beta, but the fact that he could succeed in the position proved that he was capable.

In the future, he would be assisting the Alpha King in handling the Centralis' government affairs as the highest-ranking official below the king. Naturally, everyone would want to curry favor with him.

Someone looked curiously at Lina. "You're Beta Jayden's mate, right?"

Lina smiled and nodded slightly.

"You're so beautiful. You and Beta Jayden are a match made in heaven," someone else said flatteringly.

A second later, Jayden quickly clarified their current relationship. "She's not my mate
