Semua Bab Letting Go Is the Alpha's Antidote: Bab 1 - Bab 8

The next morning, I reached for my clothes, only to find them torn to shreds.The guard was gone. On the nightstand, he had left a note saying he had business to attend to and would come back for me.I ran my fingers over the mark on my neck as I looked in the mirror. He was probably lying. After all, I had slept with him. More than likely, he was off at a tavern bragging to a pack of rowdy werewolves about how he got lucky with a girl who threw herself at him.The love bites covering my body were beyond disgraceful. I wrapped my scarf tightly around my neck, making sure everything was concealed before heading down to breakfast.As the sister of an allied Alpha, I was an honored guest in Graystone and had the privilege of dining at the same table as Kane.Just as the maid placed some celery on my plate, Kane entered the dining hall with Arya by his side."From today onward, Arya will be joining us for meals," he announced.I turned to see Arya clinging to his arm. She was wear

My new room was the most secluded one in Kane's castle—small, dark, and damp. Moss covered the walls, and the air smelled musty.Arya followed me to the door."Your old room was where the Lunas of past generations stayed. Kane said since we're about to bond, I should stay there before the wedding ceremony," she said, her tone dripping with smugness.I ignored her and silently started picking up the things that had been thrown on the floor. "Now I understand. You drugged him last night, then sent me to his room, hoping that out of gratitude, he would make you his Luna. But too bad. Kane saw through everything."All those times you followed him around, begging for his love, and he never acknowledged you. Now, that's even more impossible."I came to tell you…"Tonight, there's a banquet. Kane invited all the Alphas from Alliance Pack to attend. It's going to be grand. He plans to announce our engagement."He wants you, as his sister, to present the engagement ring to us at the ba

The banquet hall fell into silence, and the crystal chandelier illuminated Kane's face, turning it ghostly pale.An Alpha from one of the packs spoke up first, "Well, today, aside from Kane and Arya's engagement, there's another pair of newly engaged couples.""Congratulations to Scarlett and Cesare!""Two couples getting engaged at once—that's a good omen for all the packs in the Alliance. Let's toast to that!"With a cheer, everyone raised their champagne glasses, congratulating Kane and Arya and Cesare and me. The crowd around us began to disperse, and the banquet atmosphere returned to its joyful state.As the host, Kane continued to entertain the guests. Arya, on his arm, wandered around the hall, clearly acting as if she were already the Luna.This scene must have been Kane's dream in a past life.But I noticed that Kane's gaze occasionally flickered toward Cesare and me, his eyes filled with confusion. When Cesare gently picked me up to leave the banquet hall early, Kane

Soldiers searched the nearby waters, and by the time they recovered Arya's body, she was barely recognizable.Cesare and I arrived at the shore but stopped at a distance. Kane was kneeling on the sand, staring blankly at the ocean.I thought maybe he was grieving.I had lived this life again, made different choices, all so Kane could have the future he wanted with Arya. But in the end, he still lost her and their child.Kane must have sensed my presence because he spoke without turning around, his voice almost a murmur as he said, "After Arya got pregnant, I found out she had been secretly drugging me. She was afraid another woman might carry my child."The drug destroyed my seed. By the time I found out, I was no longer able to father a child. She wanted to make sure her child would be my only heir."I didn't know what to say. I had once drugged Kane myself, and I knew I had been wrong to do so. But what Arya had done had gone even further.Then again, considering how he had tr
