230 The Wolf is heartbroken

Gu Wei chanced a worried glance towards Xiao Zai, but Xiao Zai didn't have it in himself to react.

His mind was whirring with possibility, choking him with terrible realisation.

Gu Wei ran a trembling hand over his hair, smoothing it towards the left side of his neck instead of the right. "Ru Yi had been looking for those pills for a long time, because he thought it was his way to get everything he wanted."

Everything he wanted.

The words echoed inside Xiao Zai's head with the strength of war drums.

"He told Xiao Yao that if they had children they could be together," Gu Wei said, swallowing drily. "Even though the pills were created for humans, Ru Yi guaranteed that they would work on an alpha."

Gu Wei chanced him another discreet glance from the corner of his eye, clearly concerned with Xiao Zai's prolonged silence.
