I shivered when Lionel's lips touched my ear. Unable to endure his treatment any longer, I shoved him away roughly."Enough!" I screamed. "Save those your love tricks for Jenna!"Lionel looked at me, stunned. He was silent for a while and then slowly put his hand down."I'm sorry," he said. "But I wanted to explain why I was in the hospital room just now. I simply wanted to make sure that Jenna was recovering. Once she's well, I can-""Stop, Lionel. I don't want to hear anything about the story of two. I don't care, either. Let me go, okay?"Lionel looked like he wanted to say something more, but in the end, he simply took a step back and said, "I think we really need to have a good talk.""There's nothing to talk about between us. If you really have nothing to do, why don't you go and find out why your Gamma is framing Stacey?!""I already have people on it. Can you give me some time?"I sneered. "Time? How long?"Lionel sighed. "I can't blatantly investigate Gary at the moment. He u
The following day, I visited Stacey in the hospital. Despite my best efforts to hide my emotions, Stacey noticed something unusual about me."What happened, Rylee?" Stacey asked in concern."It's nothing," I replied with a forced smile, trying to find an excuse to change the topic."Don't even think about lying to me. I'm your best friend," Stacey shot back, reaching out to gently take my hand. "Your brows are furrowed so deeply, and you still want to lie? Don't worry me, okay?"I looked at her for a few minutes and broke, telling her everything that had happened yesterday."I'm sorry," Stacey said apologetically. "I know you only agreed to those things because of Moon House.""Not really. I also had my considerations," I said, patting her hand, gesturing for her not to overthink it.Seeing how depressed Stacey was despite my assurance, I hurriedly changed the subject, "Oh, by the way, I didn't ask because you were still recovering. What happened yesterday? Why did Gary accuse you of
I walked into the room. It was luxuriously decorated inside. Everything looked especially customized and of top quality. It didn't match Lionel's minimalist style but Jenna's preference.Was this... their bedroom in the old days?I held back the bitterness in my heart and said, "I won't stay here with you."Lionel was silent, but his face darkened.I turned and headed out of the room, using my actions to display my refusal clearly. "Give me an other room."Lionel grabbed my arm and pulled me back into the bedroom before locking the door in a few quick moves."What are you doing?" I asked nervously."This is also my room. You don't know what I mean?" Lionel stared at me with heated eyes.He approached me slowly, forcing me to step backward.I slipped halfway and stumbled back onto the bed, and the scent of pine coming from Lionel suddenly became stronger."Rylee... You shouldn't have let Franz get so close to you. I'm not happy with that," Lionel said, walking up to me and leaning down
What? Did I mishear Lionel? His Luna?What the hell was he saying?!I pushed him away, and he didn't resist this time."What did you say?!" I exclaimed, unable to hide my shock.However, Lionel didn't answer. He swayed before falling headfirst to the ground. I finally noticed that a layer of cold sweat covered his forehead, and his face was pale white. His breathing had turned chaotic and rapid. I shook him in panic and called out his name repeatedly, but he still didn't respond. He only kept moaning with a pained look on his face."Someone! Help!" I shouted anxiously.No one responded, so I stood and rushed downstairs, grabbing a passing servant and asking her to get a doctor.***Fifteen minutes later, the doctor arrived. He injected Lionel with a painkiller, and Lionel fell asleep a short while later.After examining him, the doctor sighed and said, "It was caused by an adverse reaction between medicine and alcohol.""Medicine?" I asked, confused."Yes. Alpha is in heat now. He dra
I jolted awake when I felt something lick me. Opening my eyes with difficulty, I noticed the sun was already high in the sky...And there was a sturdy wolf with dark fur on top of me.Its head was resting on my collarbone, nuzzling gently. It was itchy, and I couldn't help but twitch, and I was rewarded with more nuzzling.The wolf narrowed its eyes and lazily licked my neck, its moist tongue sweeping across my earlobe, which made me shudder.The cold sensation sobered me up, and I asked in disbelief, "Lionel?!"My sense of smell couldn't be wrong, and my wolf was restless. Rina was rarely this excited."It's me," the black wolf replied, lifting its head from my chest and fixing his majestic eyes on me. "My name is Lay. Good morning, sweetheart."Sweetheart...?My lips twitched at the nickname. Lionel's wolf was surprisingly cheerful compared to him."Good morning," I said, laughing wryly. "Could you get off me?"Lay didn't move, simply licked me sweetly, and said, "Did you sleep wel
Lionel's skin was so hot, and it was like burning my hand."What are you doing? Do you know what you're talking about?" I hastily averted my eyes and tried to break free from his grip.Lionel's smile widened like he was in a good mood. He stepped closer to me, and I could feel his hardness pressing against me."Why are you so shy?" Lionel muttered, pressing up against me. "I was supposed to be yours from the start.""Fuck your damn confidence." I snapped, slapping his hands away in annoyance. "Control yourself! No more rutting or I'll make you regret it!""Hmm? You make me curious that how would you make me regret?" Lionel asked with a smile.I gritted my teeth and cursed, pushing him away harshly as I stormed out of the room."Asshole!" I cursed under my breath.Shortly after I came downstairs, Lionel also followed. Unlike before, he was now dressed in a casual outfit.He wore sunglasses, a leather jacket, slacks, and boots. The outfit made him look softer than usual and less of a pe
I frowned when I noted Cara's outfit. She wouldn't have been able to afford any of these things on her own.I had a bad feeling about it. When I looked at Cara, I couldn't help but think of that lustful man, Gary.Had Care decided to rely on him?As I was thinking about it, Cara pulled out a black gold-stamped card from her bag, handed it to the clerk, and said, "I'll take these earrings and necklace."The clerk immediately looked troubled, but she refused after a moment, "Apologies, Miss. Luna chose this set first."Cara's face twisted into an ugly expression and she screamed, "Can't you see that this card means I'm a VIP? You have an obligation to serve me first!"The clerk awkwardly replied, "Sorry, Miss. I’m afraid I have an obligation to serve Luna first."Cara strangely calmed down after hearing that, and she rolled her eyes at me and said sarcastically, "Luna? Are you blind? She's fake! The real Luna is lying in the hospital bed."After saying that, Cara took a step closer to m
Lionel narrowed his eyes and coldly glanced around. Because of the commotion, there were already many people gathered around."Who told you that she was a substitute?" Lionel asked in a deep voice. There was not a hint of what he was feeling in his tone.I could feel an eerie chill coming from him, and the people around us didn't dare look at Lionel. Neither did they dare chatter and speculate about what had happened here, and they simply remained silent.The store clerk was frightened, taking a few steps back and not daring to speak.I stood rooted to the spot for a long while before finally reaching out to pull on his coat and said, "Forget it. It's not a big deal."Lionel's expression eased when he heard my words, but his tone was still cold as he announced, "Listen well. I only have one Luna, and she's standing by my side right now. Understand?"The surrounding crowd of spectators could do nothing but bow their heads in acknowledgment of such a strong display of power."I-I... I u
"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
