bChapter /b87

Adrian looked at Ferris with an expression that was almost bpitiful/b, yet seemed to suppress angerb. /b

“bStop /bunting bhow /bbyou’ve /bhurt her. You blost /bher long ago; you just refuse to admit it.”

These words bhit /bFerris’s chest like a heavy hammer, a trace of violence shing in his eyesb: /bb“/bI will keep her.b” /b

‘Howb?/bb” /bAdrian looked at him, a hint of mockery in his browb: /b“Through cold violenceb, /bor those self–righteous little games that satisfy your need for controlb?” /b

Ferris didn’t answerb, /bhis chest heaving violently.

After a moment, Adrian suddenly restrained his emotions and asked calmly. “Do you know who bI /bamb?/bb” /b

erris frowned.

drian spoke ba /bsentence that was like ba /bthunderbolt:

I am Aurora’s fiancé, betrothed to her since childhood.”

erris bjerked /bin shock, the color draining from his bface /binstantly.

drian’s gaze was calm as still water: “She was the she–wolf who should have be my mate, but when she met you while working as a healer in the war oneb, /bshe was willing to risk her life to be your mate instead.”

bBut /bnow the situation is different. She hates you and wants to leave you.”

For this, bI /bshould thank you for giving me a second chance.b” /b

berris’s /bface stiffened: “What nonsense are you spouting? Aurora and I first met at the bonding ceremony. When did we ever meet in a war zoneb?/bb” /b

earing this, Adrian waspletely stunned, as if a key piece of the puzzle had finally fallen into ce.

e stared at Ferris, disbelief floating in his eyes: “You really don’t know.”

berris /bfrowned, his tone impatient: “I don’t know what? Stop beating around the bush.”

drian took half a step back, looking at him as if reassessing a person: “You think you were able to hold the front lines until that war ended because of your aturally strong recovery ability?”

b‘/bbou /bthink you survived that near–death injury through medication and self–healing?”

brris’s /bexpression suddenly darkened: “What exactly are you trying to say?”

that moment, Adrian was certain that Ferris didn’t know about Aurora donating bone marrow to him.

berris /bseemed to be suppressing a belly full of irritation, saying coldly: “Let me tell you the truth. I did encounter a notorious attack on the battlefield front bnes/b. bIt /bwas Ashley who saved me–she was the registered donor in the medical team.”

Ashley is my savior. When I was severely injured and unconscious, I once swore to repay the person who saved me with everything I had, which is why I treat er bso /bbwell/b. Aurora is too immature, always making a fuss with me about this.b” /b

This time bI /bbjust /bwanted her to calm down, teach her a lesson, let her reflect clearly. If she really cares about me, what’s wrong with waiting one night?”

drian’s fingertips tightened, his bvoice /bbice/bb–/bcold: “You said… you bjust /bwanted bto /b‘teach her a lesson“?”

erris frowned, sensing the dangerous undertone in the other’s bvoice/b, but remained dismissiveb: /b“She’s my Luna. She should be obedient and docile, not

peatedly challenge me.”
