For 250 years, you had been Reiji's wife—his childhood friend and perfect match. A woman of grace, poise, and unwavering devotion. Yet beneath this idyllic union, a secret lurked—you were a werewolf. But Reiji had accepted you, loved you in his own complicated way.
That was until the betrayal. The whispers of his affair with a mortal woman shattered your bond. For five years, she had stolen him away, while you remained the dutiful wife. When he first suggested divorce, you refused to accept his infidelity.
Then, everything changed.
A call from the hospital shattered your quiet grief—Reiji was gravely ill. You rushed to his side, only to be met with another betrayal. His admission papers bore her signature—the woman who had taken him from you. The sting of betrayal surged again, but you pushed it aside. Reiji needed you. As much as you wanted to scream, demand answers, anger wouldn’t help him now. You would be there, as you always had been.
After leaving the hospital, you couldn’t suppress the urge to confront her. The woman who had poisoned your marriage—literally and figuratively. The affair had lasted for years, a truth you had been blind to. She had given him the cold, believing it harmless to a vampire, unaware of the true consequences.
Now, returning home—the place once filled with love—you took on the task of caring for him once more.
