Lionel stiffened. He swallowed roughly, and his eyes had turned red. He pressed his lips tightly together, unable to utter a single word.With an indifferent smile on my lips, I studied his natural reaction and his reticent restraint,continuing stroking my hand around his bulging crotch.I leaned closer, breathing against his well-defined side face, and whispered, "You hard."He widened his eyes, his breathing still heavy and rough. He clenched his fist tightly, but his actions did nothing to hide how hard he still was.I smiled mockingly and rested my palm on the metal buckle of his belt."Admit it, Lionel. Your body has already chosen for you."Just as I was about to unbuckle his belt, Lionel grabbed my hand and shoved me hard up against the wall.He gasped, the veins on his forehead popping out, and hissed through his gritted teeth, "Did you think that was going to make me believe you? Believe that the Rylee by my side for two years was the fake one?"He tightened his grip on my wr
"Be quiet," Franz whispered in my ear, and carried me down a slope.He placed me down on the ground where the grass could cover my body, and I was baffled the entire time.Why was he here?Shouldn't he be by his unconscious Luna's side? I avoided his touch, seeing a hint of hurt in his eyes.He whispered, "Stay here and wait for me. Be quiet."With that said, he leaped back up the slope, landing right before those guards.I watched the men through the grass as one of the guards asked, "Beta Franz! Why are you here?"Franz shrugged. "Alpha sent me out on an errand. What's up? Why are you guys here?""We're chasing a woman. Did you see anyone on your way here?""Sure did. She ran that way," Franz said, pointing in a direction opposite to where I was hiding and asked, "Who is this woman?"The guards exchanged glances but didn't answer, "Are you sure she ran that way?"Franz sneered coldly, "Are you questioning me?"The guards immediately shook their heads. "O-of course not! That wasn't
Franz took my calf in one hand and said softly, "Stop moving around and let me check your wound."With that, he moved the blooded cloth pieces apart and used some alcohol wipes that he had prepared in advance to clean those blood stains.Oh, he cut my trousers to clean my wound...I clenched my teeth and sucked in a sharp breath when the pain hit me."Almost done. Just hold on a little bit longer," Franz said gently, blowing on my leg.I closed my eyes, tried to control my breathing, and ignored the pain on my leg. Once he had cleaned and bandaged my wound, Franz stood up and packed the first aid kit away.I glared at him and asked, "Are you going to stay here forever? You don’t belong here.""Are you going to kick me out?" He said, turning to look at me. Then, he lowered his head with a resigned look and said, "I know you don't want to see me. I did something stupid and hurt you, after all."I remained silent at his words.I knew Franz had simply been following orders, so I shouldn't
Franz and Stacey came running over as I stood staring at my father.My father's gaze swept over us and stopped on Franz. He frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"Franz didn't answer. He simply looked away awkwardly.My father sneered. "I see. You were the one who helped Rylee get away."Franz didn't deny it.My father roared angrily, "You're the Beta of the Blood Shadow Pack, yet you're hooking with these Rogues! Have you decided to become a traitor?!"Franz remained silent. Stacey moved to my side and whispered, "It doesn't make sense. This place is well hidden, so unless someone leads them here, there's no way they could have found us."I looked over to Cara, who was standing behind my father.Cara panicked and avoided my gaze.Just then, my father said loudly to everyone, "Yes, you've guessed it right. Miss Cara has a deep sense of justice and volunteered to lead the way for us. She's now a valued guest of our pack because of her dedication to catching the sinner! Of course, every
"Okay, then, I'll come with you," I said, straightening up and walking toward my father.Stacey took my arm and said, "Rylee, I go with you."I knew I couldn't dissuade her. Even if I refused her, she would find a way to come along, so I simply nodded.It seemed that my father didn't mind taking one more person on the road, and he simply turned to Franz and asked, "Are you going to stay here?"Franz shook his head, with an awkward look on his face. "I'll leave with you then."***My father left after dropping Stacey and me off at his villa in Blood Shadow Pack. Before he left, he assigned two guards to me."For your safety," he said in a dignified manner. Obviously, these men were here to keep an eye on me and prevent my escape.I pushed open the living room door and found a man sitting on the couch. He was about forty years old, and he looked imposing. When he heard the noise, he turned towards us."Gamma Gary!" greeted the two guards behind me respectfully.Gary stood from the couch
An hour ago.Stacey placed the diamond tiara on my head. Looking at the reflection in the mirror, she whispered, "Oh, honey, you look beautiful."I smiled. "Thank you, Stacey."I straightened my dress and moved to leave my room. Just as I opened the door, I saw my mother standing in the doorway, her hand poised to knock.A silent moment passed before my mother asked awkwardly, "Are you ready?"I nodded, and she lowered her hand and licked her dry lips before saying with pleading eyes, "Could I speak to you for a moment?""Alright, but not for too long," I said.Stacey left, and my mother entered the small, cramped bedroom. Her eyes roamed over the worn furniture, and she pursed her lips."How could your father let you live in a place like this?" Mom choked.My mother had been caring for Jenna in the hospital and had not been to see me, so she didn't really know what was happening with me.If she cared a little more about me, she wouldn't have been ignorant about my situation.But this
(Lionel's POV)I took in the shattered ankle cuff and the empty room before me and threw a rare tantrum. I never imagined that the damned woman would escape!'Fuck! I told you to be gentle, but no, you had to put on that stupid brooding face of yours! Where did that get us? Look! Our mate is missing!' My wolf, Lay, accused and nagged me.I frowned, forcing myself to calm down and think rationally. I leaned against the cold door and studied the room the woman had been in.I noticed the uncomfortable iron bed and looked away, only to see moldy food on the table.Had she not eaten for days?My heart clenched tightly for some unknown reason.'You miss her,' Lay said, seeing through me. My first reaction was to deny Lay's words, but then I felt ridiculous running away from my own true thoughts.'You really should think about the sisters' real identities.' Lay snorted. 'I've never spoken to that sick wolf before, not a single time. Blegh! But Rina... Oh, man. That's one hot she-wolf!'Rina?
Lionel jerked his head toward me. His eyes, which were always firm and confident, were now filled with shock."I-is… Is that true?""Does it matter?" I said, shaking my head and laughing bitterly. "There's no going back for us."After saying that, I took a deep breath, leaned toward Franz, and said, "Come on, let's go. I don't want to see his face."Franz nodded, turning to leave with me.When I couldn't feel Lionel's presence anymore, I gulped in a large mouthful of air like a drowning person who had broken the surface."Rylee, every word I was speaking from my heart," Franz suddenly stopped and said.I bit my lip, recalling Franz's confession and suddenly feeling a little embarrassed."Franz, you know that I-""You don't have to reject me in a hurry," Franz interrupted, scratching his head. "Regardless, I won't let you be forced into a marriage with the northern pack. I'll find a way to take you away. We'll have a long time ahead of us, so you can take your time and think about it."
"Ben!" Lionel roared. "Take her away!" "I won't leave!" I cried in response. "Lionel, I know about everything! All of it! You liar! Why didn't you tell me that you let Bruce take me to save my life? Why didn't you tell me you ruined your hand to rescue me? Why?!"Lionel didn't answer, but he lowered his head, a soft gaze in his eyes that he would never show as a king."Is he the only one in your eyes?!" Bruce growled at me while I waited for Lionel's answer. "I'm also your fucking mate, you know?!"I slowly turned to glare at Bruce, then sneered, "You've only been using me from the start! I'm only a tool in your eyes!"Bruce was stunned. "What are you talking about? I went out of my way to wage war against the Blood Shadow Pack to take you back! I did all of this for you!""Enough!" I screamed. "Did you really think I'm stupid?"I made my way slowly toward Lionel and Bruce. "I still remember the story you told me about your life. If I'm not mistaken, the father you spoke about... It'
After three days of traveling, I finally saw Stacey again. She and Ben had worked out all their troubles and even had a son.Stacey was excited when she saw me."You finally remembered?" she asked."Yes," I replied with a smile. When I looked at the familiar surroundings of the Moon House, I felt warm inside.Stacey had tears in her eyes and choked up when she saw my round belly. "It'll be okay. I'll treat your baby as my own. We'll raise them together, okay?"I nodded gratefully, and we hugged each other tightly.A week later, I gave birth smoothly to twins with Stacey's help. As if verifying the existence of my past and life, I gave birth to two daughters.However, I vowed that I would never let them experience the same miserable fate I did. I would love them both equally and ensure they grew up healthy and happy."Have you thought of names for them?" Stacey asked once everything had settled down."Yeah," I responded as I cooed at them. "Their names will be Celest and Elsine.""They
"You still want to leave me, don't you?" Lionel asked calmly from where he sat on the couch.I was silent for a while before I said, "I thought you already knew the answer to that.""So, no matter what I do, I can't convince you to stay," Lionel said with a smile."That's right. Staying by your side will only make me recall the painful memories repeatedly," I said.Lionel closed his eyes, the veins on his forehead growing more prominent as the minutes ticked by. After a few moments, he opened his eyes and said hoarsely, "Okay." I was dumbfounded. Had I misheard him?"W-what did you say?""I said okay. Leave. Take the baby... and leave," Lionel said."Why would you-""I don't want you to suffer anymore, and I don't want to suffer anymore either because of you," Lionel cut me off, the smile still on his lips. "I know you'll never forgive me, so... I won't trap you here anymore."With that said, he got up to leave. Before he exited the room, he stopped and said, "I'll have someone pack
Two months later, I was sitting by the window and caressing my round belly when the butler came to me and said, "My lady, the Blue Moon Pack's Alpha and Luna are here for a visit."I stayed silent for a while as I continued to rub my stomach before finally saying, "Let them in.""Understood."After the butler left, Rina asked, 'Are you actually willing to meet them?''No,' I replied easily.'Then why did you let them in?' 'I'm simply curious...' I chucked mockingly. 'I wonder... What do they have to talk to me about now that things have reached this point?'The door to the room opened once more, and my parents walked in. Unlike what I remembered, they looked much older now. Their heads were full of visible white hair, and the wrinkles on their faces were prominent, especially on my father's. He was no longer the towering and intimidating Alpha, and the vicissitudes of age and helplessness were obvious in his eyes.As required by etiquette, they gave me a respectful salute. I waved m
I never thought I would learn the truth of my past this way, and I didn't expect to feel calm while listening to Jenna speak. As the tale unraveled, it felt like someone was picking apart old scars on my skin and making them bleed. However, I simply stood quietly, listening to the woman huddled in the cage as she recounted the memories. It felt surreal, like listening to stories I was not part of, even though I played a huge role in them.Jenna spoke for a long time, and once her trembling voice stopped, it was a long time before I finally said, "I'll release you once the ship docks at the shore."Jenna was shocked by my mild response. "...Don't you hate me? I... I stole the life that was meant to be yours. I... I even wanted to kill you...""What answer do you want from me?" I shot back at her with a mocking smile. "If you were me, what would you do?"Jenna paled instantly at my words.I signed and turned to leave, ignoring the hysterical sobs that broke out behind me. I leaned on t
"What did you say?" I asked. I was so shocked that I stopped struggling."Jenna isn't pregnant. She showed up that way to sabotage our relationship," Lionel said.I blinked, confused. "But I clearly saw-""Bring her in!" Lionel suddenly said coldly.The bedroom door opened, and two guards walked in. They carried a she-wolf with messy hair into the room and threw her on the ground. She coughed violently for a while before finally looking up, revealing a familiar face.It... was Jenna!Why was she here?"Tell her," Lionel firmly ordered as he looked at Jenna sternly.Jenna visibly shuddered at the sound of Lionel's voice, curling into a ball as if terrified of him.What exactly had Lionel done to her? Jenna used to be so proud and arrogant, but now she looked like she had a mental breakdown."Don't test my patience," Lionel warned.Jenna trembled even more at that, and she glanced at me before finally stuttering out, "Y-yes... I faked my pregnancy. I wanted to destroy your relationship
I gritted my teeth, tore off the cloth around Lionel's waist, and held his huge member in my hands. After stroking it a few times, it gradually hardened, and I leaned down to take it into my mouth, swallowing as I did.Lionel let out a low, muffled grunt, but his eyes remained closed. He subconsciously snapped his waist upward by instinct, and his member fully hardened after a few minutes of sucking. It was a matter of life and death, so I didn't care how embarrassing the situation was. I pulled off my panties and rubbed my clit, pushing two fingers inside my core and stretching my walls quickly. When I felt wet enough and fluids dripped from between my legs, I straddled Lionel and took his large dick into me in one smooth motion.The sex was rushed, and there was not a hint of pleasure in this exchange. The entire situation was absurd, but I could feel the poison slowly being transferred into my body as my strength drained away quickly. It was working! However, I needed to keep goi
My heart tightened at Lionel's condition. He tried his best to smile, but it came out more like a grimace, then he reached up to touch my cheek. "Don't be scared, Rylee, I..."His eyes slipped closed before he could finish his words, and his body became heavy as he fell unconscious."Lionel! Wake up! Stop scaring me like this, Lionel!"No matter how many times I called his name, Lionel's eyes remained closed. The rain got heavier, and panic seeped into my mind. I looked around, but there was nothing in the clearing save for the trees around us.If we stayed here, Lionel might die. The thought of Lionel's death caused agony to wash over me, and I lost my breath for a moment. No, I couldn't sit here and wait for death! I needed to at least find a place out of the rain.I gritted my teeth, took off my wedding dress, and then wrapped Lionel's shredded clothes around my chest before placing him on my back and walking back along the path we came from."Bastard! You better hold on. If you
(Rylee's POV)Lionel suddenly stopped talking, and I looked up at him only to see a fierce scowl on his face."Shh!" He held a finger to his lips, gesturing for me to keep quiet, followed by a wary look around the area. The rain pounded frantically through the leaves and onto the ground, the rhythm of it sounding like drum beats.Before I could react, a huge blur burst out from the bushes and lunged at us. It took a moment for my eyes to adjust, and I realized it was an unusually large wolf!It's eyes were glittering green, shining fiercely with a maniacal glint. I could practically taste the bloodlust radiating from it!But that was not the worst of it. When the brown wolf shot out, more than a dozen wolves followed behind, their sharp canines glinting and growls echoing in the air.Lionel reacted instantly, slipping his arm around my waist. He lifted me and leaped upward to avoid the brown wolf's attack. I couldn't keep up with the sudden change in momentum and only heard the wind
