Chapter 1

The day of our Mating Ceremony finally arrived.As the Elder stood before the pack, his voice booming as he announced the exchange of our soul-binding rings, Julian—the man standing across from me—suddenly spoke."Actually," he said, his voice cutting through the sacred silence. "I’ve been fucking Chloe."I froze. He didn't even blink as he watched the color drain from my face."While you were busy trying on your ceremonial gown, we were in the dressing room right next to yours," he continued, his tone chillingly conversational. "She couldn't help but scream when she climaxed. You actually thought she was falling ill; you spent ten minutes checking on her through the door, worried sick.""Later, while she stood by your side helping you pick out jewelry, her legs were shaking so hard she could barely stand."In that instant, I felt the blood turn to ice in my veins.Stiffly, I turned my head toward the woman standing in the front row, wearing a radiant smile.Chloe.She was waving her b

"This was supposed to be your Mating Ceremony! Couldn't you have waited just one more day?" Chloe’s voice was as sharp as a blade."Elara, listen to me, this was all just a goddamn mistake!"A mistake?Was it a mistake that every time Julian and I fought and he stormed out, Chloe’s phone would suddenly go dead?. Was it a mistake that when Julian and I visited her place, he seemed more familiar with every corner of her home than I was?. Even the dog Chloe owned only ever acted friendly toward Julian.Perhaps I should have seen it all along. I simply didn't want to believe that the two most important people in my life would conspire to put on such a cruel performance."Chloe, you are absolutely shameless!"Rage swallowed my reason, and my palm cracked hard across her face before I could think.Julian rushed forward, shoving me back. "Elara! Are you fucking losing it?!". He stood protectively in front of Chloe, looking at me with a gaze full of unfamiliar disgust."We screwed up, okay? Bu

After finishing the admission paperwork for my mother, I returned to the place we called "home". The walls were still covered in those piercing red decorations. I wasn't tall enough to reach, so Julian had lifted me up, letting me press them into place with my own hands. I remembered leaning against his shoulder, the scent of pine clinging to him, feeling like the luckiest woman in the world. Even the red bedding had been something we picked out together. The happiness we had built brick by brick was shattered in a single day.I had just opened my suitcase when Julian walked in. He headed straight for the bedroom, likely assuming I was just throwing a tantrum."The house is yours. You don’t have to move; I’ll be the one to leave," he said, his tone chillingly calm. "You don't need to pay back any of the money I gave you; consider it a settlement. Just stop making trouble for Chloe. She hasn't had it easy"That last sentence made me snap."She hasn't had it easy? What about me, Julian?"

Silence fell over the room like a tomb. My heart died in that very second.On the day my father died—the day Julian claimed he was on a "classified mission" and Chloe claimed she was bedridden with a "severe flu"—they had been in the same bed all along. My desperate cries for help over the phone had been nothing more than background music for their sex. Julian hadn’t even shown his face at my father’s funeral.Afterward, as I was tortured day and night by the grief of losing him, Julian had held me in his arms, whispering sweet lies. "It’s okay, Elara. Your father has become the brightest star in the sky, watching over you. I’ll take his place and protect you forever."The truth was this filthy.A flash of panic crossed Julian’s face. He reached out to me. "I’m sorry, Elara. I..." "I was just worked up. I didn't mean it."I bit my lip so hard the metallic taste of blood filled my mouth. Like a woman possessed, I began smashing everything in the room—including our framed wedding photos.

Chapter 5

I went to the Pack pharmacy to pick up the last few herbal prescriptions for my mother. When I returned to her hospital room, the sound of violent screaming echoed from inside.I rushed into the room to find Chloe kneeling by my mother’s bedside, her face drenched in tears."I’m so sorry, ma'am. I’m the one who hurt Elara. I’m the one who tore them apart," she sobbed. "I’m shameless! I seduced Julian! Please, just hit me! I’ll leave the Pack for good! I’ll give Elara back her happiness!"My mother’s frail body couldn't handle the shock. Trembling with fury, she pointed a finger at Chloe and forced herself to stand up from the bed."Shut up !" my mother rasped. "I will never let my daughter be mated to a piece of trash who’s been sleeping with you!"As she took a single step, she collapsed heavily onto the floor, clutching her chest and gasping for air."Ma'am! What’s happening ?" Chloe reached out to help her, but I lunged forward and shoved her hands away."What the hell are you doing

Chapter 6

The next morning, the sun’s glare jolted Julian awake.He reached up to shield his eyes, only to find Chloe sleeping naked against his arm. They had spent the night tangled together. But as he looked at her, a hollow ache gnawed at his chest.Not a single text from Elara. Not one.In the past, she would have bombarded his phone with frantic, hysterical questions. Now, the silence of his phone was more terrifying than any confrontation.He couldn't shake the image of Elara from the previous day—collapsed on the floor, blood soaking through the back of her shirt, dragging herself toward the door while screaming for a Healer. In that moment, a sharp pang had pierced his heart. He had instinctively wanted to rush to her, to scoop her up and hold her.But then he had seen her coldness toward Chloe. He had suppressed his protective instinct, telling himself she needed to be taught a lesson.Now, that arrogance was being replaced by a crawling sense of dread.He pulled his arm away, startling

Chapter 7

Julian couldn’t stop his mind from spiraling back to the exact moment Elara’s mother suffered her fatal attack.The scene played on a loop in his head: he had burst into the room to find Elara’s mother frail and gasping on the bed, while Elara herself was screaming, her hands locked onto Chloe’s arms. At the time, he was convinced Elara was the aggressor—that she was the one "making a scene."But the brutal truth had finally surfaced. It was Chloe. Chloe had provoked a dying woman until her heart gave out.And Julian? He had stood on the wrong side. He had stood against the woman he claimed to love, ruthlessly shoving her away. He hadn't even glanced at the jagged wound on Elara's back before walking out with her tormentor.The last of his strength evaporated. Julian collapsed onto the floor, his hand shaking so violently he could barely hold his phone."I’m sorry, Elara... I was wrong. It’s all my fault.""Please... just pick up the phone."He dialed her number again and again, like a

Chapter 8

Julian ran through every cemetery in the region like a man possessed. He asked at every gate and searched every row until, finally, at the edge of the territory in a graveyard overgrown with white roses, he found my mother’s name. Her headstone was new, and her photo showed her smiling, just as she used to look at him.He remembered her holding his hand, her eyes shining with hope. "Julian, I’m entrusting Elara to you. Love her well and make her the happiest female in the Pack." When he fell to his knees, they slammed against the stone with a dull thud, but he felt nothing."Ma'am..." his voice was a ragged whisper. What could he possibly say? Could he tell her that while a rogue’s silver claws were ripping my back open, he was busy icing Chloe’s bruises? Could he admit that while I knelt alone in a hospital hallway praying for her life, he was cradling Chloe to sleep? He remained there, kneeling from afternoon until the sky turned black. When the groundskeeper came to close the gat
