I Abandoned Alpha King Mate, But He Begged Me Back/Jessica HJ

The treatment center was unusually crowded today. Everyone was gathered around the TV, watching the live broadcast of the Alpha King coronation ceremony.I sat in my usual corner, waiting for my monthly moonwort treatment, trying to ignore the excited whispers around me.My hands trembled as I counted the remaining pills in my bottle. Only three left. Each one represented another day of keeping the curse at bay.On the screen, Mateo stood tall and proud, his ceremonial robes flowing in the wind. Seven years hadn't diminished his presence - if anything, he commanded even more power now.The Grand Elder Andrew's voice echoed through the speakers: "As part of the coronation ritual, the future Alpha King must confess a regret or acknowledge a loss that shaped his path to leadership."My heart skipped a beat. The cursed silver in my blood seemed to pulse harder.Mateo's voice carried across the ceremonial grounds. "Elder Andrew, may I reach out to someone directly?"The Elder nodded, surpri

I didn't want to say anything else, seeing him again was enough, I grabbed my treatment report and got ready to leave.As I walked past Everly, she surprised me by sticking out her foot and tripping me.I flopped heavily on the floor, scattering my treatment reports all over the place.Seeing me fall, Matteo's face tightened and he subconsciously reached out his hand to try to help me.Everly took his hand and exclaimed, "Look what it is."Mateo's eyes were drawn to the reports scattered on the floor.He picked it up and scanned it quickly."Silver Poisoning Curse Clinic Report ......"A flash of anger flashed across Mateo's face and he threw the case report in my face."Caroline, it seems like you met me on purpose today. I didn't realize that you would use such underhanded tactics to trick me for money!"I gathered my medical records from the treatment center floor where Mateo had thrown them."Caroline, only you would stoop so low as to fake being cursed just to get more money."

After leaving the treatment center, I made my way back to the small cabin in the woods.The cabin sat on the outskirts of pack territory, hidden among ancient trees. Mateo and I had found it when we were just two orphaned wolves trying to build a life together.Now, this place belongs only to me - my refuge for the past seven years. Mateo had never been here; apparently he really hated me and my abandonment, and so had avoided everything that had to do with me.The last three moonwort pills rattled in my pocket as I climbed the worn steps.My phone rang just as I reached the door."Caroline." Thomas's voice was cold. As Mateo's Beta, he had once been like a brother to me."Alpha King Mateo demands the return of his 500,000 by tomorrow night."I closed my eyes, leaning against the cabin wall."Tell him I'll find a way."Thomas was silent for a moment. "There's a position available. Serving at tonight's Pack Gathering."I knew what he wasn't saying - it was the only way I could earn mone

Mateo stood frozen at Iris's words, as if struck by lightning.All the contempt and cold fury drained from his face, replaced by shock and dawning horror.He stared at my blood-stained form, his golden Alpha eyes wide with disbelief.His lips trembled, like he wanted to say something but couldn't find the words.Then his face hardened again, rage replacing the momentary vulnerability."Caroline, I never thought you'd stoop so low as to make up such ridiculous lies!"I forced myself to stand, ignoring the glass shards cutting into my palms.I looked at him, managing a faint smile despite the blood trickling from my lips."You figured it out? I was hoping to get a bit more money first.What a shame."Iris looked at me in shock, unable to understand why I was confirming his accusations.Mateo's face twisted with disgust."You truly are shameless. Using such a story to scam money from me!"I just kept smiling, though each breath sent waves of agony through my cursed body.He didn't know - c

Perhaps the Moon Goddess knew my time was ending, allowing me to see Mateo one last time before death claimed me.I remained oddly calm as Iris helped me back to my cabin.The curse marks on my chest pulsed with familiar pain.With the money Mateo had given me, I contacted the Pack's oldest Burial Keeper.I chose a resting place on a hill that faced the rising moon.At least in death, I could have a piece of land to call my own.Thanks to Mateo's "generosity," I could afford a proper wolf's burial.I spent the rest of the afternoon selecting burial herbs and marking runes for my passing ceremony.When I returned to my cabin, Iris sent me an urgent message."Caroline, you need to see this!"I clicked the link she sent. It was a video from the Pack Gathering.The footage clearly showed everything - Everly's staged accident, Mateo's cruel challenge, my collapse.But worst of all, it showed my face.The post beneath it read:【Former Luna of the Eastern Pack who abandoned Alpha King Mateo d

I returned to the old orphanage where Mateo and I first met.The ancient stone building stood at the edge of pack territory, its walls etched with protection runes.Old Sarah still lived there, the human caretaker blessed by the Moon Goddess to raise orphaned wolf pups.She was bent with age now, but her eyes lit up when she saw me."Caroline? Little one, you've come home?"Her familiar scent - herbs and moon tea and safety - brought tears to my eyes.I suddenly realized I wasn't completely alone after all.Sarah had been there through everything - my first shift, my mating with Mateo, our rise to power.She had helped me heal after I gave up my wolf power, never once judging my choice.Now she held me as I finally broke down, my walls crumbling after seven years of silence.She didn't ask what had happened. She didn't need to.She just made me moon tea, the same kind she used to make when I was a pup.The old orphanage hadn't changed much.The training yard where Mateo and I first spa

I never expected the truth to come out the way it did.I was still lying in my hospital bed when Thomas threw himself in front of it with three rogue wolf in tow."Is that them? Caroline. "He asked me.I nodded."Who hired you?" His voice was sharp with authority."The Luna," one of them broke. "She paid us in silver weapons. Said the former Luna had to disappear."My curse marks burned at the revelation, though not from surprise.I had known Everly was behind it. Known since she first walked into my life.What I didn't expect was for Mateo to believe it.But he did.Thomas dragged the three wolves out of my hospital room.Through my hospital room window, I watched his fury shake the entire pack house.Trees trembled. Windows rattled. The very earth seemed to quiver beneath his rage.Then the old omega healer came forward - the one who had helped with my ritual seven years ago.She told him everything.About how I had begged the Dark Witch to save him.About how I had given up my wolf
