The next morning, I was awakened by voices drifting up from downstairs.

It was Evelyn, who hadn’t left last night.

“Keep your voice down. What if Mia hears you?” Rowan scolded in a hushed tone.

“What’s the big deal? You’re my brother-in-law. Who says a little sister can’t visit her dear sister?” Evelyn said mockingly. “Besides, don’t you think it’s even more thrilling to flirt in front of a blind person?”

“Enough, Evelyn.”

Rowan grew worried. “I’m starting to think she might’ve heard something last night. Her ears work just fine, after all.”

“You worry too much, my love. We’ll test her later and find out.” Then, she shouted upstairs, “Sister, are you awake? I brought your favorite meat pies for breakfast!”

I had no choice but to play along.

Rowan was already waiting for me at the bottom, his bare skin still carrying the hickeys of last night’s affair.

“Evelyn, what brings you here so early?” I pretended to fumble my way to a seat at the dining table.

They had no idea I had regained my sight, and I had no intention of letting them find out.

“You’re getting married soon. I just wanted to spend some quality time with you before you officially become Rowan’s wife.” Evelyn smiled sweetly, but the malice in her eyes was unmistakable.

She pushed a plate of meat pies toward me, along with the usual bowl of tonic. “I even brought our childhood favorite meat pies! Come on, have a bite.”

I looked down at my meal.

The meat inside was barely cooked. The crimson juices seeped out onto the plate, reminding me of when I was killed last night.

“I’d love to, but Rowan and I need to go pick up my wedding gown today. I feel like I’ve gained a little weight recently. Maybe I should try everything on first before eating.”

Rowan’s gaze sharpened, and the malice reappeared on Evelyn’s face.

Sensing the sudden tension, I quickly added, “But the smell is just too tempting. Maybe I’ll have half a piece.”

I reached for the tonic, bringing the entire bowl to my lips and drinking it all in one go.

Their expressions immediately relaxed.

I let out an internal sigh of relief.

“Speaking of wedding gowns, I had the attendants deliver your dress here. You shouldn’t have to go out with your condition,” Rowan said tenderly.

He wiped the corner of my mouth carefully with a napkin before helping me toward the dressing room.

Evelyn sneered, “Rowan is so good to you. Your wedding gown is absolutely stunning, Mia. It’s so sparkly, like a sky full of glittering stars. What a shame you’ll never get to see it.”

Rowan silently shot her a sharp glance, but when he turned to me, his expression softened.

“I’ll grab your favorite wolf incense and carefully scent your gown before you try it on,” he said gently.

That incense carried memories I wished I could forget. Back when I first lost my sight, I couldn’t cope with the endless nights of insomnia.

No shaman in Moonshadow Wolf Tribe could help me. It was Rowan who traveled to every wolf pack, crossing mountains and risking his life to enter the forbidden lands, just to get the formula for that incense.

After that, whenever I got new clothes, Rowan would always infuse them with the incense, claiming it would help my body heal.

However, when he brought the incense out this time, my heart dropped. The label clearly bore the mark of wolfsbane.

The love I thought he had for me was a lie! Rowan had been poisoning me all along!

“Everything’s ready, my princess,” Rowan said, eyes gleaming with anticipation as he placed the gown in my hands.

“Rowan, maybe we should wait until tonight to try it on? Don’t you have that urgent meeting today?” I paused, lowering my gaze like a bashful bride-to-be. “Besides, my sister is still here. I want the moment I try on my wedding dress to be just for the two of us.”

My sister shot me a look filled with jealousy and hatred.

“Alright. Get some rest and don’t forget to drink the tonic at lunch. I’ll drop your sister back home on the way.”

They left hand in hand, and the house finally fell into silence.

I couldn’t hold it in anymore. I broke down, sobbing uncontrollably.

Today was April 21st. I had only six days left until my soul completely faded away.

The wedding eve.

According to Moonshadow Wolf Tribe tradition, I was supposed to return to the palace and wait for tomorrow’s Moonlit Ceremony.

However, with Rowan gone, I quietly activated my Moonshadow Wolf power, summoning fire to erase every trace of my existence in the villa.

Heartbroken, I left the home we had shared, a place that had held ten years of memories with Rowan.

Time flew by, and soon, the wedding day arrived.

Inside the grand hall where the Moonlit Ceremony was set to take place, Rowan paced back and forth anxiously with his phone in hand.

No matter how many times he called, all he got was a busy signal.

As the minutes dragged on and I failed to appear, whispers rippled through the crowd.

Just as Rowan began to panic, Evelyn appeared... wearing the wedding dress I had custom-made!

“Princess Mia looks like a goddess!”

The crowd eagerly praised Evelyn.

Ever since I lost my sight, I rarely appeared in public, except for critical tribe decisions that took place in the palace.

Even the Moon Goddess officiating the ceremony mistook Evelyn for me and reached out to take her hand until Rowan abruptly stopped her.

“I’m so sorry, everyone. There’s been a slight delay. Please be patient with us.”

With that, Rowan grabbed Evelyn, dragging her to the side. “Are you insane, Evelyn? I’m marrying Mia!”

“But is she even coming? Mia doesn’t want to marry you, but I do!” Evelyn clutched her wrist, wincing where Rowan had gripped her.

“No way! She loves me, and I love her so much. I have to marry Mia. Did you do something to her again? I told you to stop hurting her! She can’t be in danger right now!” Rowan’s voice cracked with desperation.

“Rowan, do you really love her? What about me? I’m pregnant with your pup!” Evelyn cried.

However, before Rowan could even process what she said, the room erupted into chaos.

On the massive wedding screen, photos and audio recordings of Rowan and Evelyn’s intimate moments started playing on a loop.

“No! This can’t be happening! You did this, didn’t you, Evelyn?!” Rowan shouted, grabbing Evelyn by the throat.

Completely forgetting about Evelyn’s pregnancy, he questioned in a blind rage, “Was this you, Evelyn? Did you stage all of this? To force me to marry you?!”

Evelyn gasped, her face turning red as she struggled to breathe.

Then Rowan’s phone rang.

“Rowan, I’m guessing you’ve received my wedding gift by now. Let’s call off the engagement,” I said calmly on the other end of the line.

Rowan immediately let go of Evelyn. His eyes were wide with disbelief as he said, “Mia? What are you talking about? You took those photos? You can see?”

“Yes.” I smiled. “My dear fiancé Rowan, aren’t you happy for me?”
