Chapter 583: New Guest

Feeling disheartened, Oriana watched Luke walking away from her. She could not believe he was the same person with whom she had the best moments of her life when she had no one by her side as her friend, the very person who used to be cold and indifferent towards others, but showed her care and warmth in his silent way. 

The man who barely said a word, now finally said more but only to draw a line between them. Oriana had always seen him as a good friend, but it seemed there was no path forward for them. She felt the sting of losing not just a friend, but also the family that had treated both her and her grandfather as one of their own.

Inhaling deeply to steady her emotions, Oriana returned to where Snowflake and Erin were.

"Seems like Snowflake has taken a liking to you," Oriana remarked, reverting to her usual demeanor.

Erin, engrossed in petting the wolf's soft white fur, smiled broadly. "I like her too. She's adorable."
