"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
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
"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'
"We'll exchange your blood with your sister's. Jenna will have your scent. She'll replace you and become Lionel's Luna." Mom said.I was tightened in a surgery bed. There were belts restraining my entire body. Two doctors in surgical coats were standing by my bed.One of them was holding a small, thick syringe while the other was applying medical alcohol to my arm. "No! Lionel is my mate!" I screamed in tears. "What about me? What will happen to me?!"That was ridiculous! Jenna would replace me to marry my mate?!"You're too ordinary, too quiet. You can't be a good Luna. Lionel will eventually get bored of you and abandon you. This will threaten to break the relationship between our two Packs. But Jenna is different. She's born a rightful Luna.” Mom sighed and stroked my head, “Rylee, just stay with me, okay? Mom will protect you and find you your second chance.""No!!!" Tears broke out from my eyes. "Please, Mom, just let me go! If you think I’m not good enough, I can change! Please
My first love with Neil ended up shitty when I turned 18.Now a year has passed. Today is Jenna's and my 19th birthday. Our Alpha father has prepared a big party.Of course, not for me, but for his precious daughter, Jenna. Jenna had not found her mate yet. So father invited all the young wolves from the surrounding packs, to see if Jenna can find her mate among these guys.As for me? Well, father hated me.Mom said I was born at midnight, with crows crying outside of the delivery room. That reminded dad of Vampires, werewolf’s arch enemy. Jenna was born after me at dawn. The moment she was born, the crows dispersed.So she was the gifted daughter, whereas I was the cursed one. And as the cursed one, I kept my head down at all times to avoid trouble. People ignored me so I haven’t met my mate since.Turning 19, Jenna was no different than usual. She was still as cocky and impulsive as ever, and she still loved bullying me.Jenna barged into my bedroom, rudely throwing open my clos
Everyone present rejoiced.Except me."No... That can't be!" My voice was drowned out in the shouts of congratulations in the hall.-"Brilliant! A perfect match!! Their union will definitely make the Blue Moon Pack and Blood Shadow Pack more powerful!"-"Yes! Lionel and Jenna are destined to be together!"The only other person not rejoicing was probably Lionel. His gaze was still fixed on me, puzzledly.Jenna followed Lionel's gaze and turned her head. When she saw me, the graceful smile on her face disappeared and was replaced by panic.Jenna bit her lower lip and wrapped Lionel's arm tightly.When the applause died down, father continued speaking proudly, "My daughter will soon become the Luna of Blood Shadow Pack. The wedding will take place in a month..."My mate was getting married to my sister. I couldn't breathe when I heard it.I couldn't help but shout, "Wait! I have something to say!"The hall instantly quieted down. Everyone turned to me stunned.I shoved my way through th
Lionel pushes Jenna away. He came up to me and took my hand."So, it's not Jenna. It's you, Rylee. You are my mate." "Lionel smiled.I struggled to control the emotions coursing through me as I trembled, and I saw Jenna turn pale instantly. Mom covered her mouth in surprise while my father's expression was heavily clouded."A-are you sure?" I stammered.Lionel nodded without hesitation. "I would never mistake the mate bond. I smelled the scent of roses on Jenna this morning, and my wolf told me it was my mate's smell, so I thought she was my mate. But the moment I got close to you, I understood what love was that instant. Rylee, you're my destiny."Jenna was about to faint."Alpha Lionel! We just announced that Jenna is your Luna! Everyone at the party knows about it!" Father emphasized."I don't care. I only want Rylee." Lionel said.Lionel paused for a second. "As for Jenna and the others, that’s my mistake. I will inform everyone and clear up that Rylee is my true mate."Dad tende
I huffed as I pried open the window. My face was red from the effort it took.I jumped from the third floor, holding the rose brooch in my hand.I landed heavily on the lawn, gritting my teeth in pain. I tried to stand, but my feet gave out, and I fell back down.Damn! I broke my leg when I jumped!My ankle rapidly became red and swollen, and a stabbing pain crept up from it.The appointed time with Lionel was almost up. I gritted my teeth and got up, dragging my injured leg on my way.I did my best and finally arrived at the Blue Moon River. However, Lionel wasn't there. Looking around but I still didn’t find him.He didn't come... Or had he already left?No! He wouldn't!Perhaps he was tripping over some trouble, just like I was. I decided to wait a little longer...I waited up till midnight, but Lionel never showed up. I sat on the lawn, clenching my hands in dismay.I looked down at the rose brooch in my hand. I couldn't help but wailed.Had I been abandoned once more?Taking a d
"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?

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
