---- Chapter 6 At the same time, I arrived at Gareth's territory and finally met with him. We hadn't seen each other in ages. He hugged me excitedly. "Zoreen, you're finally back! From today onward, we'll live out a fulfilling life together." Inuzzled into him, enjoying his steady warmth. Gareth was my only living relative. Five years ago, I was imprisoned in a dark basement for three days. Out of guilt, Gareth agreed to let me head to the Flame Pack on my own to seek Sebastian out. In the years that we'd been separated, Gareth had never stopped working hard at strengthening himself so that one day he'd be able to protect me from anything. He'd succeeded-his pack, the Ice Pack, was the strongest of all packs! In his care, I recovered quickly. Gradually, I came to ---- understand that I should have lived for myself and done things that brought me joy rather than only playing the role of someone's lover or Luna. After a while, I began handling some of Gareth's pack affairs. As an avid reader, I had knowledge that others could never even begin to imagine. With my expertise, I transformed the Ice Pack into a central logistics hub. Any pack that wanted to import or export precious goods could only do so with our approval. Suddenly, the Flame Pack sent a request to work together. Although it would garner huge profits, Gareth was set on turning it down to avenge me. I stopped him from doing so. I said calmly, "Sebastian's pack could help us further elevate our brand. Don't let his opportunity slip away just because of some personal misgivings. I'll just avoid him in our future dealings." After a moment of hesitation, Gareth agreed. Thus, I brought a team and headed over to the Flame ---- Pack to negotiate our partnership. While heading over to the restaurant we'd agreed to meet at, I sawa clip of Sebastian being interviewed. The video had been recommended to me on my socials. Sebastian had bags under his eyes, and he was unshaven. He looked like a different person entirely. "I'll never forget my real Luna, Zoreen. She's the person I love the most. As to Nina, that stupid, evil bitch, the Elders have sentenced her to life imprisonment. She deserves it." I sighed in relief. Since he was getting interviewed, he probably would not make it to the negotiation. However, when I walked into the restaurant, my eyes immediately landed on a familiar figure-it was Sebastian! His pack members explained hurriedly, "Miss Zoreen, Alpha Sebastian would like to import an extremely precious sapphire to create a ring for his departed wife. As he truly values this opportunity, he came over immediately after the interview ended."
