DAMIAN

After the meeting ended, I left immediately. I didn't escort Roseanne home since she had come with the Moonveil family's private driver, and I knew she would refuse if I offered to take her.

However, even after parting ways with Roseanne, her sweet scent lingered in my mind. For some reason, it bothered me. I should have ignored it, but my body betrayed me, choosing to remember the warmth she had left near me.

Damn it.

I brushed the thought aside and hurried toward the Aeternum Pack headquarters—my next destination. Several Betas greeted me as usual.

“Alpha Damian,” one of my trusted Betas, Yori, greeted.

I gave him a slight nod and asked, “Where’s Tobias?”

“Tobias is already waiting downstairs, Alpha.”

Without another word, I made my way there. Tobias wasn’t just a Beta—he was my right-hand man and the person I trusted most in Aeternum Pack.

The underground corridor reeked of blood and dampness. The clinking of chains echoed as I approached the prison cell I was heading to. In

  • The Alpha's Mate: A Love Rewritten   11. Don't Touch What's Mine

    DAMIANI never liked coming to the Moonveil estate.The Moonveil family’s mansion stood grandly, even more luxurious than my home. I knew how wealthy Andreas Moonveil was, but that wasn’t why I despised the older man. Wealth wasn’t an issue for me—but Andreas? He was a cunning traitor who always sought to gain from every opportunity that came his way.I stepped out of the car with an unreadable expression. A servant greeted me with a respectful bow before leading me toward Andreas’ room. I followed her in silence, my mind occupied with the many possible outcomes of this conversation.I didn’t like speaking with Andreas. If it weren’t for the business interests and my pack’s survival, I would never have agreed to sit at the same table as him.I noticed how eerily quiet this grand estate was as I glanced around. What was the point of such a magnificent house if there was no life within it? The air felt cold, almost unwelcoming.Without realizing it, I found myself searching for Roseanne

  • The Alpha's Mate: A Love Rewritten   12. The Wedding Day

    ROSEANNEThe wedding day has finally arrived.Preparations had been made over the past two weeks—a relatively short time, actually—but everything was completed swiftly under Andreas Moonveil’s orders. Grandpa told Damian he would be the one to arrange the wedding because this was his favorite granddaughter's wedding. So, even though this marriage was purely a business arrangement, Grandpa still wanted me to enjoy the process.Unfortunately, I couldn't. No matter how beautiful the decorations were, I still disliked my groom-to-be. Damian was not someone I wanted, and no matter what, Grandpa couldn't change my mind and accept this marriage so easily.This was all forced upon me. I had no other choice or any way to escape this arranged marriage.Damian and I would go through two wedding ceremonies. The first was a modern reception, just like a typical human wedding. Grandpa needed to invite some business associates—who were human—so we had to conduct a normal ceremony to avoid raising an

    ROSEANNEToday has been an incredibly exhausting day.After the wedding reception in the afternoon, it was time for the werewolf wedding ritual.This ritual is crucial in signifying the union of an Alpha and an Omega, binding them as mates. Once it is complete, I will also officially become Damian’s Luna.We were taken deep into the forest under the bright moonlight. The full moon shone beautifully above, standing as a silent witness to the ritual that Damian and I were about to undergo. The atmosphere felt intimate and sacred, yet I still couldn’t fully embrace the process.My heart remained heavy—this was not the wedding I had ever dreamed of.From the moment I arrived at the ritual site, I could feel the sharp gazes of several Elders from the Aeternum Pack. They didn’t even bother hiding their disapproval of me, though none of them dared to interrupt the ceremony.The Elders of the Aeternum Pack and some members of the Moonveil family stood in a circle, waiting for the ritual to be

    DAMIANRoseanne remained silent even after several moments had passed. She just stood there as if battling with her own thoughts. I waited a few more minutes, hoping to hear what she would say.But my patience was wearing thin. If I stayed in this room any longer, my self-control would shatter, and I wouldn’t be able to hold myself back.“I’ll sleep in another room,” I decided at last since Roseanne couldn’t make a decision. So, I had to take the lead.I walked toward the door, ready to leave. My breaths were heavy, and my mind was clouded with the growing heat every time I inhaled and caught the scent coming from Roseanne’s body. Because we had mated through the sacred werewolf marriage ritual, my senses had become more attuned to her unique aroma.It wasn’t just her scent. My entire body had become hypersensitive to her touch, no matter how small. That was why I couldn’t stay here any longer if I wanted to maintain control.I had to leave. Distance was the only thing keeping me sane

    ROSEANNEI woke up early this morning. My body felt utterly exhausted—not from lack of sleep, but from the turmoil weighing heavily on my chest. I couldn’t even remember what time I finally drifted off last night, too busy enduring the pain from my unresolved heat.All because Damian left me so suddenly.That bastard Alpha.My head burned with frustration, and my chest felt tight whenever I replayed last night’s events. I needed him so badly, yet he walked away right in the middle of my blazing heat. I couldn’t even begin to guess what was going through his twisted mind.“Forget it. There’s no point in dwelling on him,” I muttered under my breath, trying to shake the thoughts off. “My mood is already terrible, and I don’t want to make it worse by remembering that.”But living under the same roof as Damian, forgetting last night, would be impossible. Just seeing him would reignite my anger.The warmth from my heat still lingered faintly on my skin, though the suppressant I took managed

    DAMIAN[FLASHBACK]The sea foam brushed against our bare feet, leaving a cool sensation that contrasted with the warmth of the sand. The sky blushed in crimson hues as if witnessing this fleeting moment's perfection. I watched Lyra standing a few steps ahead, her sheer white dress fluttering with the breeze and her soft laughter blending harmoniously with the sound of the waves."I always love seeing you laugh," I said, stepping closer. "It makes the whole world feel brighter."Lyra turned, her sparkling eyes reflecting the golden hues of the sunset. “Only when I laugh?” she teased, a playful curve tugging at her lips.I chuckled softly. "When you’re angry, the world feels like a storm. When you’re sad, it’s a long night without stars. But when you’re happy…" I stopped right before her, my fingers brushing her cheek, “the world feels perfect.”Lyra let out a soft sigh, pretending to ponder. “Hmm, so I should laugh more often, huh?”“Yes,” I replied firmly, “so I can always see the wor

    ROSEANNEI went straight into the bedroom, leaving Damian alone after our argument. I couldn’t stand looking at his face any longer, and I knew I would only get angrier if he dared to mention that woman from his past again.I sat on the edge of the bed, my gaze empty as I stared through the large window that overlooked Damian’s backyard. The morning sun shone softly, but its warmth failed to reach my heart. I had to admit this house was grand, but it felt cold and empty.Just like its owner.I let out a long sigh, frustration heavy in my breath.“I have to live in this house. It’s no different from the Moonveil estate—both cold. But this place is even quieter than I expected,” I muttered to myself.I inhaled deeply once more, trying to calm the storm of anger brewing inside me. Damian... that bastard. It was only our first day as husband and wife, yet I had already been through so many emotions and unpleasant moments.I clenched my fists, closing my eyes as I struggled to steady my br

    ROSEANNEI stepped into Grandpa Andreas's room after hearing his voice telling me to come in. It felt like ages since I'd been here—I hadn't visited him ever since our last argument.The room was exactly the same—cold, filled with the scent of aged wood, and layered with memories from when I first entered this house until I grew up. Grandpa sat in one of the chairs by the large window, enjoying a cup of tea while gazing out at the Moonveil estate’s backyard.There was an empty glass on the table, which I assumed was meant for me. I had informed him I was coming, and I was sure he had prepared it for me."Sit down, Anne," Grandpa Andreas said in a calm voice.I still remember how cold his voice had been the last time we spoke before my wedding. But now, he was composed again, just like his usual self—as if nothing had ever happened.He often called me ‘Anne,’ but if he ever addressed me as ‘Roseanne,’ it meant he was serious, and his decision could not be argued with.I scoffed inwardl

  • The Alpha's Mate: A Love Rewritten   83. Roseanne's Dismissal

    ROSEANNEI have been trying to be a good Luna for the past week. I haven’t argued with Damian, followed all his rules, restrained myself from looking into Lyra lately so he wouldn’t get suspicious, and even tried not to think too much about my work at Moonveil. I’ve been trying hard to regain Damian’s trust so he would stop watching over me so closely.I know all of this is just his way of protecting me, but over time, I’ve started to feel suffocated. I’m not the kind who can just stay at home doing nothing.Especially not for this long.‘I’m just too active, so it’s no surprise that I got bored in just a week,’ I muttered, fully aware of my nature.For the past two days, my boredom has been getting worse. I have read every interesting book in the library, visited the backyard garden multiple times, and even tried cooking in the kitchen. But none of it has been enough to curb my desire to leave this house and do something that would make me feel even a little bit free.‘At the very le

    LAVINIAI woke up with a pounding headache, my head feeling heavy from the lingering alcohol in my system. The sunlight streaming through the hotel curtains made me squint, forcing me to adjust to the overly bright morning. I groaned softly, stretching on the bed that suddenly felt too wide and empty.My hand reached out to the side of the bed, searching for the warmth that should still be there from the man who had accompanied me last night. But all I found were cold, rumpled sheets. I frowned, trying to recall his face. Still, all that came to mind were fragmented memories—his touch, his heated kisses, the way he murmured my name in my ear with a husky, seductive voice.I sighed, burying my face into the pillow, still holding a faint trace of his masculine cologne. It felt strange; usually, I didn't care about who I slept with. One-night stands were nothing new to me. I just needed release, a fleeting sensation to distract me from the chaos in my life. But something about this time

    LAVINIAThat night, the luxurious restaurant in the city centre was filled with laughter and the clinking of glasses. I sat in the middle, surrounded by several company executives who were now on my side. They were the ones who would ensure Roseanne was removed from Moonveil. I raised my glass, smiling in triumph."To a brighter future," I said with confidence."To our new CEO, Lavinia!" one of them cheered, followed by a chorus of applause and table tapping.I smiled in satisfaction. Tonight was a small celebration before my big victory. I had ensured that everything was going according to plan. Roseanne wouldn’t have any room to defend herself. The fabricated evidence was flawless, and these executives were firmly in my grasp with sweet promises."We all know how Roseanne runs things," I continued, leaning back casually in my chair. "She’s too rigid, too by-the-book. She’s turned this company into a cage filled with rules. You must be tired of working under such a strict system, rig

    LAVINIAI sat in my mother’s study, a glass of wine in hand, staring at the scattered documents on the desk. My mother paced the room with a satisfied smile on her face. "Everything is set," she said, picking up a document from the table and showing it to me. "The shareholders we bribed are ready to testify. In less than a week, Roseanne will lose her position."A pleased smile formed on my lips. Finally, after years of living in her shadow, I could get rid of Roseanne for good. "What about the evidence? We need to make everything look real," I said, slowly sipping my wine.Mother nodded. "Don’t worry, I’ve already hired someone to forge the financial documents. Roseanne will look like she’s been embezzling company funds for months. Even Kiren won’t be able to help her this time."I let out a small laugh. "Good. This scandal will ruin her. No one will believe her anymore. Even Grandfather Andreas won’t be able to save her."I rose and walked toward the large window overlooking the bac

    ROSEANNEIn the following days, I felt like Damian's shadow—or, more accurately, like someone under strict surveillance. I could feel it clearly; I was being watched constantly, not just every day, but every moment.I realized it all started that day, ever since I left without telling Damian, and as a result, he had become much more protective of me.It was suffocating because I couldn't move as freely as before. I felt too restricted, afraid that Damian would notice something suspicious about me. I couldn't even read the files about Lyra in secret anymore because Damian was always wherever I was.I knew he had always been attentive and never really left me alone, but now… everything felt much more extreme.If Damian had to attend a meeting with Tobias and Kiren, I used to be allowed to stay home and do whatever I wanted. He wouldn’t interfere with my activities because he knew I would call him if needed.But now, things were different. Whenever Damian met with those two Betas, I had

    ROSEANNEWhile I was lost in thought, contemplating a few things, a deep and heavy voice suddenly broke the silence of our quiet bedroom."Are you satisfied admiring your Alpha's handsome face?"My eyes widened in shock, my heart leaping into my throat, and I froze briefly. Damian let out a low chuckle, clearly aware of how my body tensed in his embrace. He must have realized that I was startled by him waking up so suddenly.Damian slowly opened his eyes, and in the next second, I was met with his dark gaze, fully awake and staring at me intensely. His eyes were still heavy with sleep, a signature look of someone who had just woken up, but there was also a glint of amusement in them, making me instinctively swallow my saliva in nervousness. Yet, the undeniable love I found within those dark irises made me even more flustered.A smirk tugged at the corner of Damian's lips, making me wish I could disappear on the spot.Damn it, since when had he woken up and realized I had been staring

    ROSEANNEThe morning light seeping through the cracks of the bedroom window pulled me from what felt like an all-too-short sleep. My eyelids felt heavy, my body stiff and aching in every inch of my skin. I let out a soft groan, realizing that I was still wrapped tightly in Damian’s embrace. Even in his sleep, he refused to let me go.I struggled to adjust my eyes to the light, trying to open them fully. “It must be morning already,” I murmured, noticing the faint glow filtering through the large curtains.I didn’t remember exactly when I had fallen asleep, but it must have been near dawn. Damian hadn’t allowed me to rest early—I had to keep up with him until his rut was over.Shifting my gaze, I looked at Damian’s face beside me. The warmth of his body enveloped my bare skin, making me reluctant to move. It was so comforting that I wanted to spend my entire day just like this, in his embrace.“Argh,” I groaned softly as a familiar ache set in.The moment I tried to shift slightly, pai

  • The Alpha's Mate: A Love Rewritten   76. The Long, Hot Night

    DAMIANAbout fifteen minutes later, I caught a faint whiff of the vanilla pheromones I had longed for just as the front door finally opened. I lifted my head quickly, rising from the sofa when I realized Roseanne was home. Without a second thought, I strode toward the door, ready to welcome her as she stepped inside.As soon as the door opened, I saw Roseanne reaching to take off her coat, but I pulled her into my embrace before she could do anything. I didn’t give her a chance to react.I had been waiting too long, and now my patience was thinning.My hands gripped her waist tightly, my body instinctively seeking her warmth. My pheromones must have already filled the room because I felt Roseanne tense slightly before she let out a quiet sigh.“Damian,” she whispered, her voice soothing my heart's wild pounding.I didn’t answer. Instead, I lowered my head, pressing my lips against her neck, inhaling deeply the scent that made my thoughts blur. I was still angry that she had left witho

  • The Alpha's Mate: A Love Rewritten   75. Alpha Damian’s Rut Day

    DAMIANThe realization hit me like a massive blow, snapping me back to full awareness. Damn it, how could I forget that this week was my scheduled rut? I should never have overlooked such an important day and failed to make preparations. But now, instead of being where I should be, I was stuck at the Pack’s residence while Roseanne was far away from me.I needed Roseanne now. I needed my Luna."Alpha Damian, are you alright?" Tobias asked, looking slightly concerned as he observed me. He could probably sense my unease and was beginning to put the pieces together."Shit, Tobias, take me home now," I decided quickly. I had to return before my Alpha instincts took over and made everything even harder.Tobias initially looked slightly confused but understood within seconds, seeing my restless demeanor. "I thought the intensity of your pheromones was triggered by your anger earlier, so I didn’t think much of it. But it turns out… this is your rut, isn’t it, Alpha Damian?""Stop asking ques
