immediately, taking all the maids with her.

She couldn’t stand the sour, fetid stench clinging to Ulrik.

Ulrik kept his head low, silently pouring malt liquor into his stomach.

He hadn’t touched a bite of food. He felt Harriet’s disgust and rejection, and his wolf felt increasingly ill at ease.

“Don’t be so stiff,” Ellen frowned. “Eat something. Don’t just drink. Tell me, what happened to you?”

Ulrik tilted his head back and drained the rest of his cup.

Then, to Ellen’s complete shock, he collapsed forward onto the table and began to sob.

Ellen didn’t interrupt him. He went about his business, slicing his meat and sipping his own drink.

Perhaps the man just needed a safe place to vent, even if Ellen didn’t understand why he was so heartbroken.

After a long while, realizing no one was coming to comfort him, Ulrik wiped his face haphazardly and looked up.

The tears had washed through the grime on his face, leaving comical mud streaks.

́Ellen couldn’t help it; he let out a short, quiet laugh.

“You think I’m a clown too, don’t you?” Ulrik laughed miserably.

“It’s fine. I am a joke. I’m the most pathetic clown in the capital.”

Ellen nodded, then immediately shook his head.

“Why won’t you go back to your pack?”

Ulrik poured himself two more glasses.

“Back? For what? To listen to my people curse me? To face endless mockery?”

“And your position at the palace? If you truly infuriate Lycan Erasmus, your career is over. You understand that, right?”

“It’s going to end sooner or later. Or rather, I never really had a career. I’d rather wander the

Ellen’s brow furrowed deeper.

“You could pull yourself together, get back to work, and prove your worth to Lycan Erasmus.”

“What worth do I have?”

Ulrik’s face crumpled, his voice beginning to tremble.

“The only thing I’m good at is making my mates lose hope in me. Years ago, I threw away battlefield glory and military honor because I thought Velda was my fated mate. And what was it? A massive, cosmic joke. I even ended up selling her out with my own hands.”

“You don’t know… in the dungeon, I couldn’t sleep. Every time I closed my eyes,

I had nightmares. I saw her being flayed alive by the Westerners, covered in blood, screaming for me to save her… and then the dream would shift, and she’d turn into a demon, howling curses at me, asking why I betrayed her.”

Ellen didn’t respond.

Ulrik continued, his voice cracking.

“I used to think the Moon Goddess favored me. Back then, the Frostfangs was the brightest star in the capital. Do you know how many Alphas dreamed of Adelaide? And Luna Airella actually chose me… let me mate with her precious daughter.”

“Stop.” Ellen cut him off ruthlessly. “That topic is closed.”

He had zero interest in hearing about Adelaide’s past from this man’s mouth.

“Let’s talk about Velda instead,” Ellen said. “She was the one you called the love of your life, wasn’t she? All this grief you’re showing now–it’s for her.”

“The love of my life?”
