Everyone Thought I Was Just Her Substitute
Lucas Fenrir was the son of the Alpha of the Silvertail Pack, born as the pack's greatest pride.
When his Luna and first love, Nara Boris, chose to leave, he married me in a fit of rage—the most unremarkable Omega in the pack.
Everyone said I was just a substitute for Nara. They were waiting to see me abandoned, to see me cry, and to see me beg on my knees.
Nonetheless, I always smiled and calmly fulfilled Lucas' every demand. I helped him stabilize the pack's morale, stood up for him in public, and even defended him against the rumors that he had rekindled his past romance with Nara.
Until one day, I saw him on the streets during the Moon Goddess Festival. He was holding Nara, kissing her deeply.
Meanwhile, I simply turned my head away in silence from behind the crowd and pretended I saw nothing.
A few months later, I was diagnosed with wolfsbane poisoning that had spread to my nervous system. My condition was beyond saving. I was admitted to the ICU of the pack's hospital, with only a few days left to live.
Lucas came when he heard the news. His eyes were bloodshot as he roared and grabbed my dying body.
"Why didn't you tell me? Why are you trying to die alone in secret?"
I looked at his unhinged expression, my gaze as gentle as it had always been. There was even a faint mocking smile curling at my lips.
"Lucas, I've never loved you.
"The one I loved… was actually your twin brother—Derrick."
