Chapter 10. New Love vs. Old Love
“Oh?” Zvonimir raised an eyebrow, stepping forward to pick up the mess of tangled yarn, and chuckled without reservation, “Is this a scarf?”
Farah immediately raised her delicate white hand and playfully punched his chest, pouting, “Zvonimir, you’re so mean! How can you make fun of me like that?”
Zvonimir adored this playful gesture of hers. He quickly caught her hand and coaxed her, “Alright, alright, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have laughed at you.”
Farah pursed her lips.
“Don’t be angry. It’s all my fault for not appreciating your efforts. I promise I’ll never laugh at you again.” Zvonimir patiently comforted Farah, his tone indulgent, as if she were the wolf he loved most in the world.
In front of Farah, Zvonimir was never stingy with his kindness.
Just a moment earlier, he had been domineering in front of Rishima, like a tyrant ready to kill her, but the next second, he had transformed into a graceful and handsome gentlewolf before Farah.
The maids standing by quietly covered their mouths with soft giggles, they all thought the same thing: Master Zvonimir treats Miss Farah Thorne so well, Miss Watson was never treated so gently by him in the past.
Farah, sensing the situation had improved, withdrew her pouty expression and leaned her head against his chest, shyly saying, “Zvonimir, you’re so bad, but I like you a lot.” Zvonimir chuckled softly.
What he liked about Farah was her obedient, lively demeanor that knew its boundaries, never causing trouble.
Unlike Rishima, who was stubborn and defiant, refusing to listen and never clinging to him playfully like Farah.
No male wolf ever likes a strong, headstrong female wolf like Rishima. Her only advantage was her exceptional skills in bed.
Looking back now, Zvonimir couldn’t understand why he had been so attached to Rishima before.
He must have been possessed by a demon back then.
“Zvonimir, I really want to mate with you now, I truly like you so much. Farah looked up, her eyes filled with reliance and infatuation as she gazed at Zvonimir.
It was a look Zvonimir had never seen in Rishima’s eyes.
As a powerful wolf, born with all superior traits, he relished in the adoring, infatuated gaze female wolves gave him.
However, besides her beautiful appearance, Rishima had nothing else that resembled a proper female wolf.
In the past, Zvonimir had found Rishima’s stubborn nature intriguing. Back then, she ignited in him the fervor of youth, awakening his primal instincts and making him want to claim her instantly, leaving her moaning and begging for mercy every time they
bonded.
But over the past three years, Zvonimir had come to see Rishima’s stubborn nature as too troublesome, and a gentle female wolf like Farah seemed a better choice for a mate. Farah knew how to be playful yet remained sensible. And more importantly, Farah could bear an Alpha wolf cub for him.
That was something Rishima could never do.

Zvonimir gently stroked Farah’s long hair and softly said, “There’s no rush to mate. Let’s wait another six months for your first reproductive cycle, and then we’ll get our mate bond.”
Farah blushed and murmured her agreement.
Even though she was of age, Farah’s reproductive cycle had not yet appeared like in most female wolves. She would have to wait until she turned twenty.
By then, all Zvonimir needed to do was mark her neck, and she would be able to bear his wolf cubs.
The news of Zvonimir and Farah’s mate–bonding ceremony spread incredibly fast.
In just a few days, major media outlets seemed to have conspired together, energetically posting well–wishes online, and they even reported on how Zvonimir doted on his intended mate, completely acting as if Rishima never existed.
Some netizens even believed this was Zvonimir’s first mate bond, and upon seeing the intimate photos of him and Farah, they eagerly commented:
“They are so sweet aaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
“I’m really jealous of their happiness.”
“They’re such a perfect match.”
Zvonimir wasn’t just an Alpha wolf noble favored and protected by the empire; he was also the heir to the Silverfang pack and the president of the Ashcroft Group.
With a wolf who not only had wealth, power, and exceptional abilities like him, even the smallest news about him could stir the entire empire. So, when the news of his mate–bonding ceremony to a female wolf like Farah, who had a high chance of bearing Alpha offspring, came out, it was sure to spark long discussions on social media.
At first, netizens praised the love between Zvonimir and Farah, saying how sweet they were together. But then someone questioned, “Am I remembering wrong? I distinctly recall that Zvonimir mated three years ago.”
“Yes, yes, yes! I remember too! He mated with a Omega female wolf, and she was a jewelry designer.”
“Oh my! Is that really Zvonimir from the Ashcroft Group? When did he break the mate bond?”
Not long after, details about Rishima’s life were completely uncovered by the pack’s online community.
From her pack background, reputation, assets… even how she met and fell in love with Zvonimir was made public.
Given the stark difference in status between them three years ago, Rishima’s bond with Zvonimir was seen as a Cinderella story. Now that Zvonimir had a new intended mate, Rishima remained a mystery, leaving every wofl full of doubts.
‘I suspect Zvonimir was attracted to the beauty of that Omega female wolf, which is why he mated with her. Now, he’s probably tired of her and wants to find a female wolf who’s truly his match tomate.”
Rishima’s only advantage was her pretty face. She didn’t have much education or any notable talent. So it’s no surprise that Zvonimir discarded her.”
“Honestly, having a couple with similar life frequencies and pack backgrounds moving towards bonding is extremely important. Education, experience, upbringing, and pack background play a big role. Zvonimir’s ex–mate was just a small–time designer, and she hasn’t achieved anything notable over the past three years that would justify her standing beside Zvonimir. So, it’s entirely reasonable for him to broken the mate bond with her.”

‘I heard Zvonimir’s current intended mate comes from an upper–class pack, both her parents are university professors. Moreover, this female wolf has a high probability of bearing Alpha offspring. It seems she’s a perfect match for Zvonimir.”
“His ex–mate was just a poor, uneducated female wolf, while his new intended mate comes from a prestigious pack and has high reproductive value. Even if I were foolish, I’d still know who is a better match for Zvonimir.”
