Chapter 2 “Forget it, forget it, you work, Mom will feed you.” She picked up the vegetable soup with a helpless sigh. I was just about to stop her when…
Chapter 1 brought my boyfriend of six months home for dinner. At the dining table, my mom pulled out a stack of bed photos of me with other men. ‘Honestly,…
“That was in the past. I am Jaxon Thorne’s mate now. The one I love is my mate, so please watch what you say!” 1 However, Wyatt ignored my words and hugged me like a madman. “Jaxon is a cursed man! He can’t even bond, you won’t find any satisfaction with him!” “I love you, Liliana. Come with me, I’m begging you!” Hearing him insult Jaxon, I struggled out of his embrace in a fury and slapped him across the face. “I will not allow you to insult my mate like that!” “I’m not insulting him. Who doesn’t know that Jaxon is a cursed man?! He even killed his three previous mates with his own hands!” I slapped him again with the back of my hand. “If you dare insult him one more time, I won’t hold back.” Wyatt was about to say something else when Jaxon arrived with his Beta guards. “Sorry to keep you waiting, my moonlight.” The moment he arrived, I couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. I ran to his side and linked my arm with his. “Alpha Ravencrest seems to have gone mad from missing my sister. We had a small disagreement, that’s why you had to wait.” Jaxon ran his fingers through my hair. He soothed me in a gentle voice, “It’s alright.” He turned to Wyatt and ordered the guards beside him, “Since Alpha Ravencrest is drunk, escort him back to his pack. Make sure he gets home safely.” The guards immediately stepped forward and seized Wyatt. However, the direction they took But that was none of my concern….
7 Chapter 7 Three days after my bonding ceremony, I returned to the Mistwood Pack for the first time, as was custom. My mother held my hand and told me everything that had happened between Wyatt and Willa. O “You were right, Liliana. That shameless bitch actually dared to betray her Alpha!” When I was sixteen and Willa was eighteen, my father hired that music tutor. At first, he always praised me as a talented apprentice. However, over time, his attitude changed drastically. He would complain to my father from time to time about my lack of discipline, leading my father to punish me. Thinking back now, Willa had likely traded her body for this. In my past life, after I bonded with Wyatt, Willa regained her senses and seduced him, and he later severed our bond. When I discovered her affair with the music tutor and was about to tell Wyatt the truth, she killed me to silence me. This time, I was going to use her secret to make her face the consequences of her actions. “Your father fell ill from anger. If you and Jaxon hadn’t come to visit him, he’d still be bedridden!” No wonder he looked so pale at the dinner table. Still, his reaction was completely understandable. He had poured so much love and effort into raising his eldest daughter, only for her to turn out to be such a shameless woman. She had utterly shamed him in front of all the packs. With his pride, I was sure my father wouldn’t be leaving the house anytime soon. I held my mother’s hand tightly and said, “Mom, after this, it’s hard to say if Willa will ever regain his trust. But I think it’s best not to mention her in front of Father.” My mother smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry, I know how to handle it. Speaking of which, Jaxon isn’t as fearsome as the rumors say. He was surprisingly gentle and polite at the dinner table just now. Is his pack treating you well?” A hint of shame appeared on my face. “Mom, people always love to spread baseless rumors. I’m doing very well in his pack, you don’t need to worry about me.” “That’s good to hear. Then I suppose the rumors about him being cursed must be false too.” I had been sharing a bed with Jaxon for the past few days, but he hadn’t made a move. Unfortunately, that rumor seemed to be true….
O His father had once said, “Every Alpha dreams of having a respectable mate to solidify the pack’s status, and a beautiful lover to keep him happy.” 1 “If you have feelings for her, perhaps you can keep her as your mistress!” Wyatt had assumed that since Liliana had feelings for him, she would be happy to be his mistress even if she couldn’t be his mate. To his surprise, she had married Jaxon instead. Wasn’t she infatuated with him? How could she just marry someone else? Wyatt slammed his fist into the wall in a rage, startling his Beta assistant. “Alpha, what’s wrong? Are you unwell?” Wyatt snapped back to reality, realizing he was thinking about Liliana again. No, he was supposed to love Willa. An unfaithful Omega like Liliana was not as not worthy of his love. Just then, the steward of the Mistwood pack urned to report that Willa had gone into the forest yesterday to visit her mother’s grave and had not yet returned. Upon hearing the news, Wyatt immediately went out to look for Willa. He vaguely remembered a small cabin in the forest. Perhaps it had gotten too late, and Willa had decided to rest there. Following his memory, he quickly found the cabin. As he approached the structure, he heard a series of shameless moans coming from inside. Wyatt stopped in his tracks and quietly peeked through the cabin window. Inside, Willa was naked, wrapped around another man. His hands roamed freely over her body. “Miss Mistwood, it’s been a while. I thought you had forgotten about me!”…
My first thought was that Jaxon was incredibly handsome. His features could rival the brightest star in the night sky. My second reaction was embarrassment. I’d been caught red–handed stealing cake. If a hole had opened up in the floor, I would have jumped in and buried myself. I forced myself to remain calm, placed the cake back on the plate, and sat back down on the bed. Then, I pulled my veil back down, pretending nothing had happened. Jaxon chuckled to himself. He walked over to me, lifted my veil, and placed the entire plate of cake in front of me. “You must have been starving all day. Here, don’t be shy. Eat as much as you want.” I looked up at him, wondering if he was serious. He wasn’t going to punish me after I took the bait, was he? Growing up with Willa, I had fallen into her traps countless times. That’s why I always second–guessed the kindness of others. To my surprise, Jaxon picked up a piece of cake and placed it in my hand. Then he sat down next to me. “Two years ago, you had the courage to save a dying man in an abandoned mine. And now, you don’t even dare to eat a piece of cake?” His words instantly triggered a memory. Two years ago, Willa and I had gone to a sacred site on the outskirts of the city. On the way back, however, she ordered the driver to dump me in an abandoned mine. It was a stormy day, and being left alone in the mine was terrifying. It was then that I heard a faint cry for help./ After hesitating for a long time, I decided to follow the sound. When I found him, he was alone and suffering from silver poisoning, but he was still breathing, which was a relief. I I used all my strep to drag him out of the mine and walked for what felt like an eternity before I ran into a kind wanderer who agreed to take him for treatment. The next day, a team of Ber à guards arrived to take him home,…
4 Chapter 4 My mother, having no time for him, turned to leave. Without warning, Wyatt grabbed her wrist and demanded, “Didn’t she agree to be my concubine? Why is she suddenly marrying Jaxon?” Hearing this, my mother flew into a rage and shook off his hand. “Who agreed? Why should my daughter give up being an Alpha’s Luna to be your plaything? Where do you get this shameless confidence?!” Only then did Wyatt remember that this was just a private agreement between him and Liliana’s father. He had thought that since Liliana loved him so much, she would be grateful and happy to be his concubine. When he pictured Liliana marrying Jaxon, it felt as if a piece of his heart was missing. Instinctively, he took off after the ceremonial procession. Willa reached out and grabbed his arm. “Wyatt, where are you going?” Wyatt was feeling incredibly agitated. “I’m going after Liliana. I can’t let her marry that monster!” Willa’s eyes filled with tears. “Why? Did you fall for her while I was having my ‘episodes“?” Wyatt’s answer was evasive. “No, it’s just… everyone knows Jaxon is cursed. His three previous mates all died under mysterious circumstances. I’m just worried Liliana will be the fourth!” Willa held Wyatt’s arm tightly and said gently, “Father only recently found out that’s just a rumor. Otherwise, he never would have agreed to let Liliana marry him.” Willa interrupted him. “Wyatt, she is my sister, and she’s getting bonded. Our bonding ceremony should be your priority now.” She pulled him to see her father to discuss the date of their bonding ceremony. Inside the carriage, I listened to the sounds of the procession and gazed at the beautifully decorated vehicle, I felt a sense of unease in my heart. Jaxon had been frail and sickly since childhood and had spent almost his entire life abroad. Very few people had ever seen him in person. Rumors claimed he was a brutal monster. Other rumors claimed his bloodline was cursed, making him unable to bond and giving him a volatile temperament. They said he enjoyed torturing people and that his three previous mates had been killed by his own hand. These thoughts flashed through my mind, but in the end, I decided to calm myself. The worst that could happen was death. I had already died once, so there was nothing to fear. The carriage traveled for a long time before finally coming to a stop. A strong, masculine hand appeared as the carriage door opened, offered to help me…
3 Chapter 3 “I’ve already bought those for Liliana,” my mother said immediately. Willa instantly looked at Wyatt with teary eyes. “If my mother were still alive, she would have definitely bought them for me.” Wyatt looked at us with a stern expression. “So, you choose your own daughter over Willa. I can’t imagine what she must have suffered under your care all these years.” Then, he pulled a black card from his pocket and slammed it on the counter. 03% “Have everything in this store wrapped up for my future mate,” he said. My mother looked at them, trembling with anger. grabbed her arm, trying to calm her down. “Let it go, Mom. I didn’t really like them anyway.“” I pulled her out of the store, with Willa and Wyatt following behind us. Just then, chaos erupted on the street as a silver dust bomb was detonated in the crowd. In that critical moment, Wyatt shoved me hard–right into the path of the spreading silver dust -to protect Willa. Before I could even react, searing pain shot through my skin. Before I lost consciousness, I saw Wyatt walking toward me with a worried look on his face. However, Willa quickly pulled him back, burying her face in his chest. “I’m so scared, Wyatt!” He immediately wrapped his arms around her and turned away. When I woke up, I was lying in the pack infirmary, my \“other sobbing by my side. “Wyatt is a beast! How dare he push you toward the silver dust!” My face was as pale as a sheet. I raised my arm and wiped away her tears. “Don’t cry, Mom. I’m not going to bond with him anyway. From now on, the farther we stay away from them, the better.” She…
2 Chapter 2 That night, as the banquet began, my father raised his glass and excitedly announced, “Willa will soon be married, and I will give her the most profitable commercial territory under our pack’s name as her dowry.” 1 Willa’s face immediately lit up. Just then, my mother said indignantly, “What about Liliana? She’s also getting bonded.” My father answered without hesitation, “She is marrying Jaxon. We don’t even know if she’ll survive the first full moon. Giving her anything would be a waste.” Although I had long known that my father favored Willa over me, my heart still ached to hear him so callously disregard my life. Tears welled up in my mother’s eyes when she heard this. She was about to argue on my behalf, but I tugged on her arm and said, “Let it go, Mom. I don’t need anything from them.” Halfway through the banquet, Wyatt arrived in a tailored suit. In front of everyone, he presented Willa with a necklace with a Moon’s Tear gem. “Willa, this is a gift to celebrate your recovery.” Willa’s eyes lit up when she saw the necklace, but she still feigned reluctance. “Oh, how can I accept this? It’s too precious.” Wyatt ignored her, placing the necklace around her neck and whispering, “To me, nothing is more precious than you.” Anyone with a discerning eye knew this was a Ravencrest pack heirloom, passed down through generations, and given only to the future Luna. “Only the future Luna of Ravencrest can wear that necklace. If he gave it to Willa, then what about Liliana?” “Wyatt and Willa are truly in love. Now that she has recovered, it’s only right that the necklace should be hers.” “Doesn’t that mean he won’t bond with Liliana?” I couldn’t bear the crowd’s whispers and left the banquet alone, heading to the backyard. To my surprise, Willa followed me out. Under the pale moonlight, she toyed with the Moon’s Tear on its chain, smirking at me. “This was always going to be mine. Did you really think you could steal it while I was ‘insane‘? Dream on!”…
