You Were Never There

Liam Pearce is supposed to be celebrating our daughter's birthday when she dies after ingesting wolfsbane. Instead, he's with a human woman as she goes for a prenatal checkup at the hospital.

My daughter's dying wish is to celebrate her birthday with both her parents. However, she ultimately dies with regrets.

My heart dies with her. I take her ashes to the place she most looked forward to going to in life. That's when I see Liam kissing another woman.

She leans into his arms and asks daintily, "Isn't your daughter sick, Liam? Why do you have time to be with me?"

"Don't even mention her. Sofia, that scheming woman, must be using that as an excuse to keep me there. You're the one I love the most, sweetheart," he says dotingly.

"What about your daughter, then? Who do you love more, me or her?"

"You, of course. You're my darling Mia."

His words stun me like a bolt of lightning.

After crying my heart out, I pack my daughter's belongings. I decide to leave Liam forever.

However, he and the rest of the royal family get on their knees before me. They beg me not to leave.

My daughter, Cecilia, died on her fifth birthday.

Her dad, the Alpha King, Liam Pearce, had promised to spend the day with her, but he went missing on that day.

I had to arrange for Cecilia's funeral alone. With an exhausted body and a broken heart, I brought her urn to the amusement park—her favorite place when she was alive.

The park was tranquil at night. I had planned to find a quiet corner to cry my heart out. My beloved daughter, Cecilia, had truly left me…

"Darling, you can open your eyes!"

Before I could shed a tear, a familiar voice rang in my ear.

I clenched my fist and covered my mouth when I recognized Liam's voice!

"Hm? It's just the Ferris wheel. We've been here many times." The woman beside him pouted, clearly displeased.

When the woman turned around, I was beyond shocked to learn that she was a human.

Did Liam seriously cheat on me with a human?

"Wait a minute, darling. Three, two, one! Sweet Mia, look up! Be ready for my surprise!"

Following Liam's countdown, a dazzling light show commenced in the direction of the Ferris wheel. A sea of hearts surrounded Mia Cordell's name, with fireworks and colorful lights dancing with each other. In the end, countless glowing rays spelled out the line: "I love Mia."

How ridiculous! Cecilia was gone, yet here was Liam putting on a display for his beloved woman without a care in the world!

My werewolf heart twisted in pain from my husband's betrayal.

"Thank you, darling. Thank you for making me such happy memories." Tears of joy welled up in Mia's eyes. She threw herself into Liam's arms.

Something struck her. "But darling, isn't your werewolf princess sick? How do you have the time to hang out with me?"
