Chapter 3
Regret
Erland still can’t believe that in the end it was Cailtin who dumped him. Without even a word or explanation, Caitlin left him to marry another man. Erland’s hands were tightly clenched into fists, there was an immense sense of loss. Erland began to feel that none of this was true, his sense of loss was real and he didn’t want to lose Caitlin, and was Erland now realizing that he actually loved Caitlin?
“What’s wrong with your ugly face, Erland? Are you starting to feel sorry now for cheating on Caitlin? Or do you feel annoyed and angry because Caitlin didn’t choose you in the end? Because she dumped you for another man who is much better than you. The greatest Lycan in the universe!”
“Shut up, Blaze. Can you stop talking? I just don’t feel like I can accept that Caitlin would dump me like this. I’m a man, I should be the one to do that. How could Caitlin ruin all my big plans, how could she?”
Blaze still didn’t believe it, she wasn’t a stupid woman who just believed Erland’s words. Erland’s eyes showed clearly how disappointment was starting to creep into his heart, a feeling of jealousy that seemed very real. Blaze smiled wryly, again she thought of a figure named Felix Parker, that man was really very handsome, and Blaze hoped that she would be Felix Parker’s future bride, not Caitlin.
“Has Caitlin gone to the Parker family’s pack?” Erland asked.
Blaze shook his head, then she looked at her long nails.
“Actually last night the Parker family wanted to ask Caitlin to go, only Caitlin refused on the grounds that she wanted to pack first. Perhaps Caitlin will leave this afternoon, of course she will be picked up by her handsome prince, Young Master Parker.”
“Okay.”
Erland immediately left Blaze, in fact he didn’t care at all about Blaze’s annoyance or that Blaze would get angry. Erland’s main concern was an explanation and a request so that he could get back together with Caitlin.
After arriving at Caitlin’s pack, and right on the balcony of Caitlin’s room, Erland rushed to knock on Caitlin’s bedroom window several times.
Caitlin, who at that time was watching Ivy and several of her servants packing her things, was also shocked. Caitlin lazily opened the window. Caitlin seemed quite surprised to see who came, it turned out that the figure was … Erland.
“You ….”
“Caitlin, is what I heard true? Did you accept the marriage arranged by your parents?” Erland asked. Caitlin was silent. “Tell me, Caitlin, I beg you. Didn’t we agree to fight for our love together and then we will get married secretly? How could you suddenly decide all this one-sidedly? Do you know, that night I was waiting for you even until this moment. You didn’t come, until finally I heard this surprising news from—”
“From Blaze?” Caitlin interrupted.
Erland then stared in disbelief, of all the people who supported their relationship, how could Caitlin suddenly say Blaze’s name so correctly?
Caitlin smiled sarcastically, she then crossed her arms to look at Erland who, who knows when, in Caitlin’s eyes, Erland was no longer as cool as before. Erland was no longer as cool as before when Caitlin loved this man so madly.
“Did you think I didn’t come that night? In fact, I came early so I could see how you and Blaze betrayed me, a reality that woke me up, which made me slap and wake up, so I know that parents’ choices will never be wrong, they always want the best for their children.”
“Caitlin, please forgive me, give me a second chance. What I did with Blaze was just a mistake, I promise I won’t do it again, Caitlin.”
“I’m sorry, Erland. But I can’t possibly be with a man who only sees me as a stepping stone.”
“Caitlin, I—”
Caitlin immediately closed the window to her room and saw all the servants looking down. They will not say anything and will definitely remain silent, because it was their oath not to interfere in their master’s life. Ivy, who had just found out the reason why Caitlin accepted the arranged marriage, was also sad, her eyes were watery, crying over how painful her lady’s love story was.
While Caitlin was looked at like that, she smiled, she said very happily. “You don’t need to be sad, Ivy. Accepting this match is not something bad. After I met Felix, and after we talked last night, I came to know many things about Felix. It turns out that Felix is not a boring man. Apart from being handsome, he is a very pleasant man, and I am sincerely and wholeheartedly accept this match.”
After the conversation, everyone packed up again.
Until evening came, and Felix came to Dawn’s family pack to pick up Caitlin. The two of them now started to walk away, leaving Dawn’s family’s pack full of emotion from Caitlin’s parents and still with Blaze’s jealous attitude. She still thought that Felix was not worthy of Caitlin and that Felix should be the man who was worthy of her.
“Welcome to my residence, Caitlin. I hope you will feel at home living here until we get married.”
Caitlin nodded, a special room was designed for her, she knew from all the furniture there. It seemed like the Parker family was a very, very good family.
“Where are Mr and Mrs Parker? I want to meet them to convey my greetings.”
“Usually in the afternoon like this they will go hunt with Noah.”
“Noah?” Caitlin was confused.
“Yes, Noah is my twin brother, and he is the lycan king who is glorified by the entire nation of this universe.”
Caitlin was silent, she didn’t even know that Felix had a twin, she finally nodded.
“If you want anything, you may call Jemma. From now on, Jemma is your faithful servant in this residence.”
“My name is Jemma, Miss Dawn.”
Caitlin smiled again looking at the beautiful brown-eyed woman wearing a maid outfit. She nodded slowly.
“Thank you.”
“If there is nothing to ask, I will go first. You can rest, let Jemma and the other servants arrange all your things.”
“Okay. Thank you very much again, Felix.”
Felix just smiled faintly, then he left Caitlin’s room. Outside her room, he took a deep breath, massaging his aching temples.
“Damn, I’m so affected by this damn matchmaking.”
After muttering like that, Felix glanced at Caitlin’s bedroom door briefly, walked away and then his b*dy just disappeared.
On the other hand, Caitlin was standing on the balcony of her room, she looked up at the now dim sky. When Caitlin closed her eyes, she felt as if a pair of eyes were looking at her with a sharp gaze. Until then, Caitlin’s b*dy was pushed backwards, Caitlin’s eyes widened when she saw the figure of a very large lycan standing right in front of her.
“W… who are you?!”
