Chapter 3

ผู้เขียน: Jasmine Flower
After leaving Michael’s office, I stumbled through the streets, lost and aimless, like a headless fly. The persistent ache seeped into my bones, chilling me to the core.

A recruitment advertisement caught my eye: "Nightclub Dancer – High Pay Wanted."

Though the job felt humiliating, I was past caring. My mother's life hung in the balance, and I would do anything to save her.

With gritted teeth, I dialed the number.

The interview was brief, and that very night, I found myself on stage.

The nightclub throbbed with darkness and noise, the heavy bass of the music vibrating through me. Clad in a revealing dance outfit, I moved to the rhythm. The men in the crowd whistled, their eyes were greedy and offensive, following my every move.

My stomach churned within me, but I forced myself to dance. The money was my only concern now.

Then, I saw two familiar faces in the crowd.

James and his friend.

My heart clenched. I tried to avoid their gaze, but it was too late.

James’s friend grinned maliciously. "Hey, call girl! Dance for us. Take it all off, and this cash is yours!"

He laughed, tossing a wad of bills onto the stage, the money fluttering down around me.

I clenched my jaw, fighting back tears.

The stack of bills was worth $10,000. I desperately needed it.

But stripping for them?

James watched with cold indifference, making no pretense of concern.

His friend grew bolder, grabbing me, his hand sliding up my thigh.

"What are you doing? Let go of me!" I struggled, but he only grew more arrogant.

"If you won’t take it off yourself, I’ll help you…" He smirked. "Don't worry, I have plenty of money. I won't let you leave empty-handed."

“I’ll add more. Let me touch you some more…”

His hand moved towards my chest.

I closed my eyes, tears falling silently. I was ready to endure anything. The cash was all that mattered now.

Then, James finally spoke.

"Enough!"

He shoved his friend away and stepped towards me, towering over me.

"Emily, why be so stubborn? If you agree to be my mistress, I’ll give you everything you want."

"Not a chance!" I glared at him, spitting out the words.

James’s expression darkened instantly. He gripped my throat.

"Don’t think I won’t lay a hand on you. Make me angry, and you'll regret it."

He growled, his eyes turning red—a clear sign his werewolf side was about to break free.

His presence radiated danger, like the calm before a storm. My inner wolf cowered.

Was there no escape? Was my only option to become his mistress?

Then, his eyes landed on the mark on my neck—the hickey from someone else.

He snapped. "No wonder you refuse to be my mistress! You’ve been with someone else!"

"Tell me, who is it? Who dared to touch what’s mine?"

His possessiveness and anger flared. His grip tightened.

"I’ll tear that man apart!"

"No one touches what belongs to me—not even after I’ve rejected you!"

His words were infuriating. We were no longer together—why did it matter who I was with?

I turned to leave.

He yanked me back. "Emily, tell me who it is! Who has the audacity?"

"I don’t think you want to know!" I retorted.

"Tell me!" His gaze was furious, his eyes burning with rage.

"Your uncle!" I spat the words. "Michael!"

    The room fell silent, everyone stunned by my declaration."My god, is she talking about the Alpha King of the North American Lycan Pack, Michael Edward Carter?""Impossible!""Michael, with his prestigious lineage? He wouldn't be interested in a weak Omega from our pack!""Thats not true Emily. It can't be true." James sneered.In his narrow world, a connection between me and an Alpha of Michael's stature was inconceivable. I must be fabricating the story."I...""Miss Emily, the Alpha King is waiting for you," a chauffeur suddenly appeared.I walked out of the nightclub under their surprised gazes and slid into the sleek black Bugatti parked outside. Michael, seated in the back, glanced at the lingering crowd and instructed the driver to depart."Miss Emily, what would you have done if I hadn't intervened today?"I fell silent, clutching the wad of cash, my head bowed."I... as long as I can secure the funds for my mother's medical bills, I'll do whatever it takes," my voice was a mer

    "You dare slap me?" James stammered, his hand pressed to his reddening cheek.I trembled with rage, my gaze was still locked on him."James, don't push this too far!" I warned.But emboldened by my reaction, he seized my wrist, "Hmph, who do you think you are? You're nothing but a lowly commoner!""You don't belong here! You're only here because you've been sleeping with men!"His words ignited murmurs around us.The guests, who had previously watched, now wore expressions of disdain."Ah, so that's the story. A shameless she-wolf, is she?""What a disgrace. How did someone like her even infiltrate this gathering?""Tsk, tsk, these young people..."Their venomous words were like sharp daggers, piercing my heart. I felt suffocated, but I clenched my teeth, biting my lip to suppress the tears.James, seeing my distress, smirked. "So, Emily, here's the deal: kneel and apologize, agree to be my mistress, and I'll let this slide. I'll even continue paying for your mother's medical bills.""

  • Mate's Love   Chapter 6

    The applause after my speech surged like a tidal wave. As I stepped off the stage, from admiring gazes, Michael offered a smile, and nodded. The banquet guests dispersing into small groups. Realizing the late hour, I decided to head home, planning to visit my mother the next day. Just as I reached the door, a figure blocked my path.It was James.The arrogance that once defined him were replaced by something calmer and more desperate."Emily, wait." His voice was soft, as if the self-assured man I knew had vanished.I looked at him coldly, offering no response."I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have treated you like that." He lowered his head."The reason I acted that way was... because I like you. I want to keep you by my side.""Like me?" I scoffed. "Is this how you show affection—by hurting and insulting me?"He looked up."I know I made a mistake, Emily. Can we start over? Give me another chance?"His words were almost sincere. I stared at him, an unexplainable sadness stirring with

    The next day, I woke early to visit my mother.She looked at me with a face radiating love."I heard about your speech last night," she smiled, "My daughter, you’re truly amazing.""Thank you, Mom." I gripped her hand tightly.I knew, no matter what, she would always stand by me, supporting and encouraging me. Back at the office, I overheard colleagues talking, learning that James's reputation had crashed after the banquet.His disgraceful behavior reached his family, and his father had isolated him to his quarters in a rage. The Chief Elder's eldest daughter, his intended bride, had also cut ties. His dream of becoming Alpha leader seemed shattered. I hadn't expected James to fall so far. But it was his own doing; he had only himself to blame. Michael called me into his office. "James's family wants to invite us to their home," he said. "He says it's to apologize in person."I furrowed my brows, hesitant.Though James had received his due punishment, I felt uneasy thinking about his a

    Today, my eighteenth birthday, was meant for my bonding with James, my fated mate. Instead, the day before, he coldly rejected me, declaring his love for another. Today was their engagement party.The bride, the Chief Elder's daughter, shimmered in an extravagant diamond gown. She was a vision of noble beauty. With the Silver Moon Pack's Alpha unexpectedly deceased, the Chief Elder held the power to appoint the successor. James, driven by ambition, chose the Alpha position over me, a lowly Omega with a sick mother and no influence.I stood alone with a champagne glass clutched in my hand, watching them dance in the ballroom. My heart shattered, just like my sorrowful inner wolf. James's fake smiles and betraying eyes were unbearable. I downed drink after drink as the world blurred around me.Desperate to escape the hypocrisy, I staggered towards the door. But fate intervened cruelly. Near the steps, my ankle twisted and my heel snapped, as I fell. But I felt strong arms around me. I lo

    The heaviness in my chest jolted me awake. Without a word, I fled, leaving Michael confused."Hey! Where are you going?" he called, reaching out, but I shook him off."Sorry! Urgent matter! I have to go!" I stammered, hailing a cab.At the hospital, a relieved nurse awaited me. "You finally made it! Your mother's treatment is suspended. We need payment to continue."I froze, an icy chill spread through me. James's cruelty was the root of this. Years ago, my mother had shielded him from a rogue pack's silver blade, leaving her heart wounded. Though she survived, her wolf fell into a deep slumber, her health deteriorating. James's financial aid had been our lifeline, but he had heartlessly cut it off."How much?" I asked, my voice was strained."One hundred thousand dollars per month," the nurse replied. "Without it, we can't guarantee her care."My head spun. The figure was utterly high. I sank onto the hospital corridor floor, planning to beg friends for help, work extra jobs; I'd find
