Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Chapter 11 For days on end, Ryan scoured every corner in search of Tessa, yet no sign of her emerged. It was as if she had simply disappeared into thin air, leaving no clue behind.

The gnawing anxiety consumed him relentlessly, his mind clinging to the faintest hope that some news would reach him about her whereabouts. But all that came were crushing waves of disappointment and silence. He sat alone in the dimly lit house, the weight of solitude pressing down on his chest. Calls from Chloe buzzed insistently on his phone, but he refused to answer. Each time her name crossed his thoughts, a surge of disgust welled up inside him, twisting his emotions into bitterness. If it weren't for Chloe, Tessa might never have walked away from him.

In a moment of quiet defiance, Ryan switched off his phone, severing himself from any possibility of hearing about Chloe or her schemes. He began to search through every drawer and cabinet, desperate to find something-anything-that Tessa might have left behind as a sign, a message, a clue. But his efforts were in vain. Nothing surfaced except a crumpled medical report, carelessly discarded in the trash. His eyes locked onto the faded text, and a sudden realization struck him hard: Tessa had donated six vials of blood.

The memory of the doctor's words echoed in his mind-because of the torment she endured at the hands of pack members during her youth, Tessa's tolerance for pain was far below average, causing even minor injuries to feel unbearable. Ryan's fingers clenched tightly around the paper, his breath ragged and uneven. Scenes from that painful day replayed vividly in his mind. By then, Tessa had already known everything-every secret, every betrayal. She must have hated him deeply, enough to vanish without a single word, without leaving even the smallest trace behind. Not a message. Not a sign.

He recalled the moment they had first acknowledged each other as mates, when he had sworn to protect her for life and shield her from any harm. Now, all the pain Tessa endured was because of him. The bitter truth weighed heavily on his soul, and he could no longer deny it-he regretted everything. Meanwhile, Chloe's relentless calls went unanswered, her frustration mounting with each ring. When she realized Ryan's phone was off, rage consumed her. In a burst of fury, she flung her phone to the floor, shattering the silence. "All because of Tessa?" she spat, voice trembling with anger.

"He won't even pick up the phone for days!" Fuming, Chloe stormed into Tessa's old room, her heart still gripped by the hope that Tessa might return. She began hastily packing up whatever belongings were left, stuffing them into a box with trembling hands. "Burn it all! Get rid of everything!" she commanded sharply. As the maid carried the box past Audrey, the older woman immediately recognized it. Without a word, Audrey knew the contents belonged to Tessa. Despite her usual indifference toward the girl, a creeping sense of dread settled deep within her chest.

Grabbing the maid's arm firmly, Audrey said quietly, "Leave it there. Don't touch it." By now, Audrey had grown numb to Chloe's outbursts. She no longer felt compelled to soothe her. Instead, she turned her attention to the box, curiosity stirring within her. She remembered that Tessa had once packed her things before-surely, she would have taken everything with her then. What could possibly remain? Unable to resist, Audrey carefully opened the box. Her eyes widened in shock as she took in its contents: tattered dolls and worn stuffed animals, accompanied by a diary.

She hesitated for a moment before flipping through the fragile pages, revealing crooked handwriting that stretched back to when Tessa was only ten years old. "Mom lied to me again. And Chloe... she took my doll from me..." As Audrey continued reading, the diary's entries spanned several years, chronicling Tessa's pain and isolation up to the age of fifteen. "Mom and Dad don't believe me anymore. But I'm their real daughter.

Why don't they like me?" "I understand now why Chloe keeps asking about my past-it's so she can convince Mom and Dad to believe her..." The bitterness and sorrow poured from the pages, raw and unfiltered. For the first time, Audrey felt as if she was truly meeting the daughter she had once abandoned. Then, her hand brushed against something else inside the box-a necklace shaped like a full moon. Her fingers trembled as she lifted it, a sharp catch in her breath. Memories flooded back, nearly overwhelming her with emotion.

When Tessa was born, Audrey had personally placed that necklace around her daughter's neck. It was a detail she had nearly forgotten, now painfully vivid. She recalled how Tessa would stand before her, trembling and silent, too afraid to voice her feelings. So many times, Tessa had tried to reach out, to offer something, but Audrey had always dismissed her, cutting her off before she could speak. Now, holding the necklace, Audrey finally grasped the painful truth: the girl she had pushed away, the one she ignored, was truly her daughter.

When Tessa turned eighteen, Audrey had stopped giving her an allowance. Every penny Tessa earned was through her own relentless effort, working tirelessly day and night. Audrey had witnessed Tessa returning home at three in the morning, finishing work at dawn. Yet at the time, she had never cared. Now, crushed by the weight of her neglect, Audrey struggled to breathe. All of Tessa's suffering-the loneliness, the pain-had been caused by her own indifference. Overwhelmed, Audrey sank to the floor, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face.

Every memory of Tessa trying to speak, only to be ignored, filled her with unbearable regret. "Why didn't I ask? Why didn't I listen?" she whispered through sobs. "I'm sorry, my daughter..."
