All Chapters of My Rival, My Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

ArloThe moonlight shone the brightest at eleven in the evening, the Blood Shadow pack being vivified by its brilliant luminance. Today was Sunday. It was different from the Sundays when the pack usually rested. Excitement flooded the hall as people started chatting about today’s main event. Today was the day— the day of my coronation.“Pleasant night to all of you!”The crowd erupted into cheers as my father’s voice encapsulated the entire venue. I peered from behind the curtain and felt my breath get caught in my throat when I saw that there were much more attendees than I was expecting. It seems like my parents had also called the other packs to join my coronation since the seats were jam-packed.“You can do this,” I whispered to myself. “You’re not the incoming Alpha of the strongest pack in the world for nothing.”Once I said those words to myself, I felt a surge of courage enter my v

HeraIt has been a week since River moved out of the house, and things are going back to normal once again. At first, Cy and Saran called him on the phone thrice a day, but now they only contact him at night. Things have gotten pretty awkward in the house now that River wasn’t around, but it’s nothing grand. My adoptive parents and I have been in a distant relationship ever since I found out that they weren’t my real parents anyway.I was currently sweeping the floors in Cy’s office when I accidentally stumbled on his bookshelf. Some books fell out, and I clamored to pick them up on the floor. I carried the books in my arms and was about to place them back on the shelf. However, what I saw next made me freeze in my spot.A beam of light came from the spaces where the books usually were, and it seems like there was something beyond this room. Motivated by my curiosity, I peeked into the bare spaces and gasped in shock when I saw that there

Hera“1, 2, 3…” Click. “One more time,” I said while readjusting the camera lens. “Yeah, that’s great. You guys look good together,” I complimented both of them.It was the day of my 18th birthday and also the day of my planned escape. Cy and Saran were dressed in formal attire, oblivious to the fact that I had already packed all of my belongings upstairs.“Why don’t you join us for one photo?” Saran asked, holding out her arm for me.I hesitated for a minute.“Come on, Hera. We don’t have a proper picture together now that you’ve gotten older. Just think of it as a commemoration of your 18th birthday," she coaxed. I sighed. “Alright,” I said.I squeezed in between them and flashed a small smile. The camera blinked for ten seconds until it finally flashed, signifying that the picture had been taken.“Let me see,” S

Hera“Phew,” I said, wiping the sweat off my brow. That was tough. I didn’t have an invitation to show to the guards, so I had to climb over a wall in the very back of their packhouse. I didn’t think that I had to use my muscles so early on in this plan!I stealthily walked through their garden, going unnoticed. It was a really good choice that I wore all-black today since I blended in with the dark background. From where I was, I saw people clad in fancy dresses and suits going inside the huge packhouse.I looked down at my own clothes and shook my head. Yeah, I’m definitely going to stand out if I go in looking like this. I need to stay as low-profile as possible if I want to execute my plan perfectly. Guess I have to watch through the windows this time.I walked closer to the house and found an unobstructed window. It was a little bit far from the main scene, so I couldn’t make out their faces that much. However, I c

HeraEven if I couldn’t hear his footsteps anymore, I still kept my fast speed in fear of him coming out from the dark. I already kicked him in the family jewels, but he was still able to run after me! What kind of wolf is he?I sighed in relief when I saw the cottage in my vision. I quickened my steps and fumbled to get the key from my pocket. I swiftly opened the door and slammed it shut, making sure that it was locked before I plopped down on the dusty couch.“That was close,” I said as I leaned my head on the backrest. I looked up at the ceiling as I remembered what had just happened in the packhouse.I lightly touched my lips and still felt some sparks on the sensitive area. I bit it and remembered the way the handsome man moved his lips against mine. Oh god. That was my first kiss. I just lost my first kiss to a stranger! To someone I don’t even know the name of! Well, granted that he is my mate, but it still doesn’t ch
