I can feel Alpha Jonathan’s burning gaze at my back. Before I knew it, the slam of the front door echoed.
I did the same to my heart.

I was still awake late at night when I saw another post from Emilia: “I am always there for you when you need me.”
My blood boiled at seeing this and I can’t even focus on the notes Dr. Alex sent me.
But I forced myself to do so, and I did.
And as I closed my eyes, I remember the old me: the Anastasia who was so dedicated to Jonathan, the soon-to-be Alpha, during her college days. I always worry when he doesn’t eat well. I even prepare his meals and cook dinner for him sometimes.
Well, I can see why Alpha Jonathan was beloved by the pack: he loved to socialize and entertain people. He loves to drink—especially with Emilia.
I am not so into drinking that’s why I thought at first that Emilia was only his drinking buddy.
But she became more than that.
In fact, I never wanted to be a nurse. During that time in college when there’s an extra slot for having a paid trip to the neighboring pack for educational purposes, I begged Jonathan to let me have it.
Instead, he gave it to Emilia.
