LOGINALEXANDERI felt soft lips on my forehead. I opened my eyes slightly, overjoyed, and squinted happily as I looked into his.“Good morning,” I mumbled.Chris looked at me and whispered, “It’s time to go home.”I nodded slowly. I was surprised to see that he had bought another outfit for me. After I quickly changed, we went through the tunnel and made our way to the parked car.We got in, and he drove me to a bar in town. It wasn’t too busy since it was dawn. There were only a few pedestrians and fewer cars, mostly people heading to their offices.He looked at me and said, “You shouldn’t spend all your days at home. You can work at this bar, so you can learn more about the city.”“I agree with you,” I replied.We got out of the car and walked toward the bar. Aside from a cleaner sweeping and mopping the floor, no one else was there.At the counter, the cleaner raised her head and said, “Mr. Chris, the manager is in his office. You’re lucky—he was about to go out to see his new girl, but
ALEXANDERIt was too late when I realized I had fallen into her trap. Her fist had already shot forward, but I was quicker, retreating just before it could land squarely on my chest.I flew backward, losing my footing.Mira looked at me with a cold smile. “Ain’t you going to fight anymore?”Then I heard a faint voice in my heart.“Transform.”I glanced toward Chris. His face was expressionless, but I already knew he was the one who had sent the message. I didn’t question why he wanted me to transform.I turned back to Mira, my eyes growing cold. “As you wish.”A sharp squeaking sound filled the air, followed by the sickening crack of bones shifting and snapping into place. The pain rattled me deeply; it was unbearable, but I gritted my teeth and endured it until the transformation was complete.The moment it ended, I moved.Before Mira could even react, I swatted her across the room and sent her crashing into the wall. The instant her back slammed against it, I lunged forward, caught
ALEXANDERWhen I saw Chris on the floor, he was back on his feet in a flash. He burst into exaggerated laughter, then said with a grin, “Again!”I didn’t hesitate. The moment I moved, I struck him with a swipe of my claw and sent him flying. He landed hard on the floor and looked up at me in surprise.I was surprised too. The first time I hit him, I told myself he simply hadn’t been prepared. But this time, he had been fully ready, and I still managed to land the blow.“What a powerful wolf,” Chris said with a sigh. “The speed, the accuracy, the strength... I can only win if I’m in my wolf form.”I stayed quiet. I didn’t know how to react. For years, I had dreamed of and wished for this day, but now that it had finally come, I didn’t even know how I felt.Chris looked at me casually and said, “Attack me again.”I was just about to move when a shout rang out from behind him.“Enough!”Both of us turned toward the voice and saw Mira striding over. Her face was dark, and she glared at me
ALEXANDERChris’s eyes dimmed as he replied to her gloomily, “Mira, you need to show great respect to my wife. She is the Luna of the pack, not you. I haven’t fallen in love with you in the past three years, I do not love you now, and nothing in the future will change my decision. I hope you can respect my choice and stop dreaming of us ending up together.”Hearing Chris’s harsh words, I realized he was truly angry at Mira for what she had just said. Without hesitation, I decided to claim him.I reached out and wrapped an arm possessively around his waist, then looked at Mira with open contempt. From the corner of my eye, I caught the surprise on Chris’s face.I sneered at Mira. “Chris is my husband. I don’t like other women entertaining thoughts about him. I am jealous and possessive, and I have no intention of sharing my man with anyone—especially not with you.”Mira glared at me with hostility, but her stare did not intimidate me at all. Instead, it only made me bolder. The days of
ALEXANDERChris ignored Peter completely and walked straight to me. He helped me to my feet and said, “I’m sorry you got hurt. Next time, idiots like him won’t get the chance to do something like that.”Although his words touched my heart, I was still upset by Peter calling me a weak woman. I had grown up being called an ugly girl—was I supposed to endure another humiliating label too?I turned to Peter with cold eyes and sneered. “I may be weak today, but tomorrow I’ll show you my strength and make you eat your words.”Peter looked at me strangely, then burst into laughter. He laughed so hard his body convulsed. After a moment, he stopped, slipped one hand into his pocket, and said, “I’m sorry.”The corner of my lips twitched as I wondered what game he was playing. How could he switch from hostile to friendly in the blink of an eye?Peter waved a hand and said, “Don’t think too much about it. I’ve always wondered what kind of woman could make Chris, who has lived like a monk, fall in
ALEXANDERI turned around, unease curling in my chest. The idea of getting married did not seem pleasant at all, especially after everything I had gone through at the hands of Alpha Damon. He had treated me worse than trash, and at times, it felt as though he had never truly accepted me as his wife.I lowered my head and furrowed my brows. Before I realized it, Chris’s palm rested gently on my arm. I lifted my head and met his eyes, which were filled with sincerity.“You don’t need to feel pressured. Whenever you are ready, I will walk down the aisle with you.”Hearing those words moved my heart. I reached out and hugged him tightly, and he wrapped his arms around me in return. The warmth of his embrace soothed my racing heart.He leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to my neck before ruffling my hair. Then he said, “I’ll be leaving the house soon. Take care of yourself.”He placed a gentle kiss on my forehead before walking out of my room. A moment later, he got into his car and drove
ALEXANDERI pursed my lips as my thoughts wandered. Eventually, I decided to sleep—maybe when I woke up, I would finally be free of the weight pressing so heavily on my chest.But as I lay on my bed with my eyes tightly shut, my mind kept drifting back to Alpha Damon. I tossed and turned restlessly
ALEXANDEROne sunny afternoon, after days of not seeing either Alpha Damon or Chris, Alpha Damon suddenly appeared in my room.He looked at me and asked in a voice so calm it unsettled me, “Do you want to leave the pack with my uncle?”My heart raced, and anxiety tightened my chest, but I forced my
ALEXANDERSlowly, I parted my eyelids and was met by a blinding light. For a brief moment, the light seemed to take the shape of a wolf, but it vanished before I could get a good look at it.Chris stared at me in surprise, then sighed before saying reluctantly, “Your wolf is so powerful. Why is the
ALEXANDERFor a moment, I couldn’t react to Tracy’s absurd command. I stared at her for an entire minute, speechless. Did she really think I was brainless enough to do what she had just said?I sneered at her. “Why don’t you take Lucky and elope with him? You don’t need to worry about your mother.
