The password is your birthday. From now on, we’ll live here. Do you like it
I cautiously pushed open the door and caught sight of the king–sized bed in the master bedroom. Only then did I realize, with a sudden flutter of nerves, just how tense I felt.
Although Elias and I were legally married now, I wasn’t fully prepared for… that. Especially with him–the man I had always admired and felt so grateful for.
Suddenly, I felt a large hand pat the top of my head.
Elias smiled down at me. Don’t be so nervous. I know every time I see you, it’s like

being shocked by electricity. My wolf gets so excited it howls. I want you, more than anything, but I’ll wait until you’re ready.
His gaze softened, as if it could calm the turmoil in my heart.
However… there is one room you should see first.
Confused, Elias took my hand and led me into another room.
When the lights flicked on, everything in the room became clear. Floor–to–ceiling mirrors lined every wall, and bright wooden floors radiated an upscale vibe–this was a dance studio!
I gasped in surprise, stepping inside and gently touching everything. My eyes finally settled on a sparkling, pristine dance dress.

Darling, how did you know I dance…
Elias glanced down, smiling, before starting to tell me a story.
Back in college, he had visited a friend at a neighboring school and accidentally walked into the wrong classroom–a dance studio. There, he had seen a girl dancing to the music, graceful and beautiful, like a white
swan.
That girl… was me
Yes, Elias nodded. From that day on, you left a mark on my heart.
When I started asking about you, I
discovered that you were the one my grandfather had arranged for me to marry. I was overjoyed, I couldn’t believe it.

He sighed. But then… after everything that happened…
Afterward, I had the accident, was picked up by Thorne, lost my hearing, and could no longer dance.
Seeing the sorrow in my eyes, Elias gently patted my shoulder, offering words of comfort.
Darling, your hearing has recovered now. Have you thought about dancing again
Dance again…
I murmured the words. Seven years had passed since I last danced. I hadn’t imagined I would ever return to the stage. But Elias’s words stirred something deep inside me, making my heart race.

Yes, I still loved dancing. I still wanted to dance!
Sweetheart, as long as you believe in yourself, it’s never too late to start over. I’ll be with you!
Encouraged by Elias, I finally decided to pick up the dance I had once loved so much.
After some time of retraining, I gathered the courage to start submitting my resume to dance companies.
To my surprise, at my very first audition, I ran into two familiar faces–Alpha Thorne and his mate, Elias.
The moment they walked in, I almost
gasped.

But I quickly composed myself, diverted my gaze, and focused on the music, letting myself lose myself in the rhythm of the dance…
I didn’t miss Thorne’s intense, fixed stare, nor the jealousy and hatred burning in Isolde’s
eyes.
When the dance ended, the boss who had been conducting my interview clapped, clearly impressed.
Miss Selene, you’re incredible! No wonder you were the new star who set the dance world on fire seven years ago!
I smiled faintly and thanked him.
Thorne approached the group leader,
casually asking, Was Selene really that
famous in the dance world seven years ago

She was! the boss exclaimed, slapping his thigh. Back then, so many film companies were eyeing her! The top agencies were all fighting to sign her! He sighed. What a shame about the accident… such a talented dancer. I wonder if the bastard who hit her ever got what he deserved…
Thorne’s face drained of color in an instant.
I glanced at him, our eyes locking, and gave a cold smile.
He’s getting exactly what he deserves.
Selene, I-
He opened his mouth, as if to say more, but I had already turned away, heading toward the

bathroom without a second thought.
Never thought you’d sink this low! To be a lapdog, you’d throw away all your dignity!
Isolde’s voice followed me, brimming with hate as she stepped inside.
You think by copying my dancing, Thorne will like you A fake is still a fake, and you’ll always be beneath me!
I couldn’t help but laugh.
I just like to dance. What’s the problem Afraid you can’t compete, so now you’re trying to sabotage me to keep the boss from hiring me
So what Isolde sneered, casting a quick glance at Thorne in the distance, who was speaking with the boss of the dance

company. She stepped closer, lowering her voice.
As long as I’m here, this dance company won’t dare hire you. Even if you join another troupe, I’ll make sure you can’t survive there.
Is that how you’ve been bullying newcomers all these years Aren’t you afraid of being exposed
I smiled, pulling a voice recorder from my bag. Isolde’s face immediately drained of color.
You’re scheming against me!
Scheming Isolde, don’t assume everyone’s as clueless as you. After you framed me once, do you really think I’d fall for it again
From a distance, Thorne had heard the

commotion and was heading over. Isolde immediately threw herself into his arms, sobbing.
Selene, I didn’t mean it! I just… I just like Alpha Thorne! If I upset you, I’m sorry!
Thorne gently comforted her for a moment, then frowned at me.
Selene, I owe you an apology, but Isolde didn’t do anything wrong! Can you stop going too far
Going too far I almost laughed in disbelief.
Thorne! Isolde deliberately ran me off the road, then she framed me for pushing her down the stairs, but you never even bothered to ask her if she was going too far!
You didn’t care to hear the truth, you just

blindly defended Isolde, and now you still have the nerve to say you love me Why don’t you ask yourself if you’re being unreasonable
I threw the recorder at Thorne.
Listen for yourself!
He hit play, and his face immediately shifted.
Alpha Thorne…
Isolde seemed to want to say something in her defense, but Thorne pulled away from her and released his arms. Still, he muttered stubbornly,
Selene, that was all in the past.
Yeah, it’s in the past. And I should thank her for showing me your true face! For letting

me see what the real ‘white moonlight‘ looks like!
I turned sharply on my heel, my heels clicking against the floor as I walked away without looking back.
Selene! Thorne called out, his voice desperate, but I kept walking.
At the door, a familiar figure appeared in the light, entering.
My dear Luna, the person called out gently.
I froze, a shiver running down my spine, but quickly recovered. I deliberately walked over and threw myself into Elias’s arms, acting sweetly.
Alpha, thank you for picking me up~

Since you’re finally here, let’s go shopping before we head back, okay
Thorne stood frozen, watching us with a cold expression.
Elias smiled warmly.
Sure, anything you want.
Then, without warning, he leaned down and kissed me on the cheek.
I froze for a second, my face and neck burning.
It was just a show in front of Thorne, but I didn’t expect Elias to take it that far… though, oddly enough, I didn’t mind it. In fact, I felt… a little excited
We walked hand in hand, passing by Thorne.

This time, he didn’t follow us.
I didn’t know what trick Isolde had pulled, but the dance company didn’t hire me. However, not long after, I received an invitation from
