The Repayment Chapter 5
The full moon climbed into the sky. On a smuggler's ship sailing the Icehaven, a white wolf with no pack's mark quietly watched the distant auroras.I was curled up in a corner of the cargo hold, feeling the sharp pain of my bones cracking from the Mystical Moon Potion. It hurt so much that I cried, but inside, I was happy.They would never be able to find me.I guessed that as Adam stood before that burned body, I was already far across the swirling waters of the Icehaven.I imagined Adam's face when he saw my ‘body’, probably feeling sorry that he would have to look for another protector for Amy.If he still had any feelings for me, it would be nothing but anger now—anger that I had betrayed him.Meanwhile…At a dinner under the moonlit night, the werewolf nobles were raising their glasses and chatting away with candles flickering around them.In her fancy dress made of moonlight fabric, Amy showed off her shiny wolf-tooth necklace as she searched for Adam.Adam was in the f
The Repayment Chapter 6
In a corner of the study, all the ‘gifts’ he had given me over the years were lined up neatly—bracelets, cloaks, rings, and more, all made from leftover pieces.Adam held the moonstone wolf statue that I used to adore, his claws shaking a little. He had picked it out from his battle treasures for my twentieth birthday. He remembered how happy I was back then, but he had actually given all the best treasures to Amy."Adam." Aaron came out of Adam's secret room, sounding worried. "Luna Ella might have found the secret room and gone inside..."Adam ran to the secret room, and when he saw the coffin lid open and the sweet words carved there for Amy, his whole body tensed up.To My Eternal Rose, A...Aaron picked up the papers on the desk, his voice shaky. "Ella might have also found 'The Darkshadow Pack Trust Blood Covenant'."That paper clearly lined out all the stuff Adam was going to give to Amy.Aaron could not keep quiet. "I told you before, if you keep treating Luna like this,
The Repayment Chapter 7
Shaking a little, Aaron brought Adam the phone I left behind."This is all that was left in Ella's room."Adam took my phone and quietly looked through the messages I had sent him.He used to delete my messages right after reading them, forgetting all the times I shared my hurt feelings. On the other hand, I saved every message we ever sent each other.[Where are you? Adam, when will you be back? My wound really hurts.][Adam, I love you so much. I couldn't stand all this pain with any less love.][When will we get to have our own pups?]Most of the time when I talked to him, I was telling him how much I was hurting.Ever since the beginning, I had been covered in scars that never seemed to heal before the next wound showed up.Back then, he was so pleased with himself, and with just a few sweet nothings, he tricked me—a girl who did not know any better.He scrolled through the messages, his face expressionless even as tears fell down his face."Keep looking," Adam told his
The Repayment Chapter 8
[Ella, I didn't see this coming. You vanished and made Adam fall for your tricks.][Stay gone for good, or my claws might just slip and scratch your face, or worse.]Adam's eyes narrowed, and he dashed to Amy's place."You've got some nerve, sending scary texts to Ella without me knowing!"You saw her at the hotel the day she vanished. What did you tell her?"Amy tried to look shocked and asked, "What could I possibly say to her? You think I scared her off?"Adam did not wait. He had his followers grab Amy's phone, and there it was—a message of her bragging to her friends: [Ella's gone. The Darkshadow Pack will soon have a new Luna.]"You've always said you didn't care about being the Darkshadow Pack's Luna and that you only loved me. Were you lying to me?"Adam's fangs slowly lengthened, and the murderous intent in his eyes made Amy keep retreating."Adam, you promised you'd always protect me! I should be the one you love, not the stand-in you force to take the hits for you!
The Repayment Chapter 9
Adam's voice was full of emotion. "Ella, I've read all the messages you sent me. I know them by heart now."You've always loved me, right?"I stayed quiet for a bit, but I could not keep it in any longer."Adam, Alpha of the Darkshadow Pack, you're just a devil who thinks you're such an angel."You call all the pain you cause love. When you love someone, you'd fight anyone for them, but when you don't, you ignore their cries of pain."I never wanted to talk to you again, but I have to tell you that we're done for good."Please stop bothering me."Adam did not say a word. He just sat there, tears rolling down his cheeks.We sat in silence, watching the beautiful aurora dance outside the window."Ella, I finally got to see the aurora with you by the lake."I could not believe he remembered my simple wish from when we first met.That wish came true, but I never thought it would happen when we were saying goodbye.I smiled, hoping he would leave quickly. My eyes were determined
The Repayment Chapter 1
As usual, I was in the bedroom helping Adam get his suitcase ready. He told me he had to go on a trip for work tomorrow and would be gone for the whole day.When I heard some noise coming from the study, I used my crutches to go investigate. I could hear Adam's brother, Aaron, talking behind the thick closed door."Adam, don't you think you're being too harsh? Luna still hasn't recovered from the injuries she suffered when the Blood Moon Pack kidnapped her, yet you're going off to see Amy?"Amy just got a small cut from slicing vegetables. It'll be all healed up by the time you get there!"What about Luna Ella? To help you defend against attacks form Blood Moon Pack, her wolf was seriously injured, and she's still hurt after two weeks. Don't you care at all?"Aaron, who was the Beta of our Darkshadow Pack, was arguing with my mate in the study.I wanted to hear better, so I moved closer to the door and listened in."If you love Amy the most, why don't you claim her and mark her?
The Repayment Chapter 2
My heart clenched, but after a moment's hesitation, I pulled it open.Behind the door lay a tiny hidden room with two coffins inside.The left one had ‘Adam’ carved on it, and the right one, ‘Amy’.He had planned for them to rest together forever, to keep Amy safe even after death.I crept up, shaking, and opened Adam's coffin—it was empty.Next, I opened Amy's and found a message carved inside the lid.[To My Eternal Rose, A.]A, not E.It hit me—I was reading Adam's secret love note to Amy.My fingers quivered as I read the words on the lid.[I can't be with you now because my world's too dangerous. You might get hurt.][I’ll find a way for us to be together once we get away from it all. I've got it all ready.][I'll find someone to act as a 'shield'. She'll be our cover.][I met Ella Collins today—she's lively, healthy, and her smile reminds me of you.][She likes me. When I talk sweet to her, it's really for you, even if you can't hear me.]['Shield Ella' is perfect.
The Repayment Chapter 3
That person, of course, was Amy.I shook as I opened my laptop and looked up Adam's financial history. He owned a fur trading business called ‘Moon's Embrace’ up in the snowy north. Every single gift he had ever given me—the pendant with a wolf's tooth, the bracelet made of vines, and the cloak of wolf fur—was listed as part of his company's inventory.I used to think those gifts were special and just for me. That was until I peeked at Amy's social media and saw fancier versions of everything he had ever given me.The pendant he gave me had one wolf tooth on it. He told me it was a prize for beating another pack's leader. However, Amy had a necklace with twelve wolf teeth. Her post said Adam had taken one off because thirteen was an unlucky number, so he had given her the necklace with twelve.It turned out I was just Adam's dumpster, where he threw the leftovers he did not want after pleasing Amy.When I first got that pendant, I felt so lucky and happy that I cried.However, it

"I just... asked about some herbs," I said, trying to sound calm. "My wound really hurts, you know."Adam squinted at me, moving closer with a sad look in his eyes."Ella," he breathed on my face. "Don't lie to me or betray me."I nodded, shaking, and he saw my tears. "Why are you crying again?"I made up an excuse. "The wound... It's just so painful..."Adam held me in his arms. "Don't be scared. I'm here, and I found a great healer for you. She'll make your wound heal better and faster."He gently stroked my hair, trying to comfort me. Slowly, he fell asleep while I stayed awake, looking at the ceiling and crying silently. I was saying goodbye to him in my heart.The next morning, a phone call woke Adam up."Is Healer Amy here?" He picked up the phone. "Hold on, I'll be right there."He reassured me as he got dressed, his eyes shining with excitement I had never seen before."Ella, the healer's here. I'll go set things up, and she'll come over to treat your wound later!"Don't worry,
