Only Leo remained standing, staring at me, mumbling over and over, “Daughter… The Alpha King of Windmere…”
I lowered my gaze, swished my sleeve, and turned to leave with Cayden, but Leo broke free and rushed forward to block my path.
“You’re the heir to Windmere! Why didn’t you ever tell me?”
There was anger in his voice, yet also an unmistakable joy. “No wonder I couldn’t find you and our son… But it’s okay now! We
can finally be together again!”
I looked at him coldly. “Alpha Leo, I don’t recall ever having a son with you.”
Looking at his face filled with disbelief, I felt nothing. “I abandoned my rightful place and left Windmere back then when I was
young and foolish. Fortunately, people from a small pack helped me come to my senses in time.

“So, thank you, Alpha Leo. And thank you, Blazetooth Pack.”
Perhaps he had never seen me so indifferent and resolute before, but his expression slowly crumbled.
Yet, he refused to give up. He clutched onto my robes, unwilling to let go.
“Mia, I know you’re angry. I came all this way to apologize! I was wrong! I really was! I love you! I can’t live without you!
“Our son! We have a son! He used to rely on me so much! I don’t believe he doesn’t miss me! Can you-”
I couldn’t help but laugh.
His absurd words amused me.
So, he had always known Cayden depended on him.

Perhaps that was precisely why–knowing he was our only pillar of support—he had repeatedly broken his promises, neglecting
us time and time again.
Other than finding it ridiculous and laughable, I felt absolutely nothing for his words or actions anymore.
“I believe your son does miss you.”
Cayden stepped forward, offering him a polite yet distant smile.
