Chapter 1

Author: Vino
I received the bonding notification matching me with Kieran Darkmoor, the Alpha of the Wolf Pack, while standing outside my bedroom door.

Through the slightly ajar door, I caught the heavy scent of heather drifting out. I could hear a beastwoman's sultry moans mingled with a beastman's husky growls, coming at my ears in rhythmic waves.

A lace nightgown lay discarded by the doorway, draped carelessly over my red high heels. Those were the same heels that Nathaniel Fairfax once spent an entire month crafting by hand from the finest materials, just for me.

Now, they were stained with dampness from the lace nightgown, utterly defiled.

It was so revolting that my stomach churned, nausea rising to my throat.

The shoes were ruined, and so was Nathaniel.

Grace Pemberton traced teasing circles on his chest with her finger. "Nate, you truly spoil me rotten. Are you really willing to let Ms. Sinclair enter beast servitude to become my maid?

"She's so proud. What if she refuses?"

Nathaniel lovingly caught her hand and kissed it.

"She doesn't have a choice. Now that I'm the Eagle Clan heir, the Sinclair family is practically begging to work with me. You've suffered enough indignity serving as her maid all these years.

"It's time she returned the favor."

His words dissolved into another round of passionate coupling.

"Nate, be gentle. I'm carrying your egg."

I clenched my fists until my nails cut into my palms, eventually drawing blood.

When did the beastman who once worshipped me like the moon change? Where was the beastman who would scrub his hands raw if he accidentally touched another beastwoman, then anxiously ask if I thought of him as contaminated?

Perhaps it was when Grace deliberately tumbled into his arms, and he did not immediately rush to wash his hands.

Perhaps it was when Grace wept crocodile tears, and he cast suspicious glances at me instead of comforting her.

Perhaps it was during all those nights when he made excuses about being too busy to guard me personally…

I was turning stiffly to leave when I collided with Nathaniel, who was emerging to fetch Grace a towel.

Panic flickered in his eyes, but upon remembering something, he quickly steadied himself.

He cast his usual eagle shadow puppet against the wall, trying to charm me as he always did.

"Lia, I have my reasons. Grace came from nothing. If she's selected for that wolf's den, they'll tear her apart. Only by carrying my beast egg can I protect her."

The absurdity nearly made me laugh. "So, you'd rather force your own fiancee into beast servitude to become Grace's maid? Do you want me to serve you both and your beastchild?"

As the Eagle Clan heir, he had countless ways to keep Grace from being selected, yet he chose the method that humiliated me the most.

Even the Alpha's mate selection became part of their twisted game.

Nathaniel's fingertips trembled almost imperceptibly before he smiled with renewed confidence.

"Lia, I'm protecting you from being chosen. Once you're marked as a beast servant, the Alpha won't select you.

"Don't worry. After Grace delivers the beast egg, I'll help you escape servitude. Then, you and Grace will be equals."

He reached out suggestively. "If you're jealous that Grace is carrying my beast egg, I can give you one too."

He had just finished making love with Grace and now wanted to touch me!

How disgusting!

Humiliation crashed over me like a tidal wave. My mind exploded with rage as I slapped him hard across the face.

"Nathaniel, you're delusional! I will never be your maid. From now on, we're finished!"

His expression instantly darkened as he loomed over me.

"Aurelia Sinclair! Do you think you have any other option? Grace endured your abuse as your maid for years, so why can't you do the same?"

Years ago, Grace was an abandoned beastwoman. I took pity on her and brought her home.

Though she was a maid by title, she lived more like a young lady of the house. I practically treated her like a sister. How was that abuse?

I laughed through my tears as I watched Nathaniel's retreating figure.

Shortly after he left, the Wolf Pack representatives arrived with an engagement ring. The ring featured an extraordinarily rare heart-shaped sapphire.

The Wolf Pack messenger solemnly played a recording.

The Alpha's deep, magnetic voice emerged, "I made this myself. Do you think my wife will like it?"

My eyes widened in shock. The Alpha was nothing like I had imagined!

    Kieran was worried that Nathaniel might try something underhanded, so he accompanied me to the fighting pits.The pits were unusually crowded today, packed to capacity.We had barely taken our seats when someone in the crowd gasped."Look, isn't that Eagle Clan heir Nathaniel? Has he lost his mind? With all his wealth and power, why would he come here to risk his life?"Someone nearby lowered their voice to reply, "I heard it's for that Ms. Sinclair from the Sinclair family—oh wait, she's the Alpha's wife now.""Tsk, he was once Ms. Sinclair’s ward and childhood sweetheart, but he didn't treasure her. Instead, he got tangled up with that manipulative maid from the Sinclair household. Now he regrets it, but she's already bonded..."Kieran instinctively tightened his grip on my hand. I squeezed back firmly. "Don't worry. I only care for you now."Watching Nathaniel prepare for combat on the platform, I felt nothing but bewilderment.What was this supposed to be? Was it compensati

    My departing footsteps faltered.I could not help but recall the rumors from before Kieran's mate selection of him favoring a Cat Clan beastwoman.Seeing that I had finally reacted to something, Nathaniel suppressed his jealousy and bitterness, his voice taking on a hint of excitement."The project he's working on is building the largest cat-themed amusement park for his first love! Lia, the location is only a 30-minute drive from this mall!"I did not get into Nathaniel's car, choosing to drive myself instead.Even so, Nathaniel did not mind. He knew I was such a proud beastwoman that I would never be able to stand being used as a substitute.When the time came, he would have his chance.He followed my car at a leisurely pace, a slow smile spreading across his lips.When we arrived, I silently got out of the car. Sweet memories flooded my mind, leaving my heart bitter and sour.If all that sweetness was because of his first love, how could I bear it?A familiar voice reached

    I shot Kieran an annoyed glare, and he immediately raised his hands in surrender, flashing me an apologetic smile.Watching us flirt and banter, Nathaniel felt like his heart was being torn apart. He frantically shook the iron gate like a madman."Kieran! Lia is mine! You can't touch her! You can't!" By the end, his voice was breaking with tears.Kieran smiled provocatively at him and possessively pulled me into his arms, his handsome face looming close to mine with an expression that was clearly begging for a kiss.I obliged, kissing him soundly. Meanwhile, Nathaniel went berserk and began ramming the door outside the gate."Lia, I was wrong! Please don't punish me like this! You're killing me!"I slowly walked over to Nathaniel, staring expressionlessly at the gift boxes in his hands."These aren't the same as before anymore. In the past, seeing these would only remind me of how good you were to me. Now, I can only think of you and Grace rolling around day and night in my bed.

    The wedding was held on a private island, and every detail of the ceremony seemed to magically fulfill all my childhood fantasies about weddings.Kieran's mother, Isadora Blackwood, took my hand with satisfaction and slipped the family's heirloom bracelet onto my wrist, then casually gifted me several estates with a wave of her hand."How wonderful! Kieran has finally gotten his heart's desire."I was puzzled and about to ask more when a shocked cry rang out from the wedding guests."Good heavens, look! An Eagle Clan member is performing a mating dance above us!"I looked up to see an eagle circling above the glass ceiling. It was Nathaniel in his beast form.He performed the mating dance with tireless devotion over and over again. He truly looked deeply romantic.However, all I could think of was the video on Grace's social media of him dancing for her.The mating dance was traditionally how Eagle Clan members expressed lifelong loyalty to their one true mate.If performed fo

    Nathaniel's heart lurched, his disbelieving gaze darting between us."You're Alpha Kieran? What did you just call Aurelia? Answer me!" His voice rose to a shout.Kieran ignored him completely, extending his hand toward me with tender devotion. I gently placed my hand in his palm, and he swept me up into his arms."Honey, watch me settle the score for you."Our intimate display pierced Nathaniel's eyes like daggers. He continued his impotent rage, demanding answers while completely ignoring Grace, who was putting on her usual pitiful act for attention.Kieran finally grew impatient and gave him a withering look, snapping his fingers once.Rows of towering beastmen in black suits filed in, forcing Nathaniel, Grace, and their subordinates to their knees in the hall.I spotted several familiar faces among the crowd, including the fighting pit owner.The guests erupted in shocked murmurs.We all thought the Alpha of the Wolf Pack was supposed to be dark, obsessive, hideous, and dis

    Nathaniel's pupils dilated in shock as he rushed to catch Grace. Finding me in his way, he kicked me aside without hesitation.The blow struck my chest with brutal force. I spat blood and staggered backward into the coffee table. My forehead slammed hard against the corner, staining the wood crimson.Before blood completely obscured my vision, I saw Nathaniel tenderly rubbing Grace's belly with concern."Don't be afraid, sweetie. Daddy's here."Watching this heartwarming scene, my eyes burned with unshed tears as I could not help but laugh bitterly. That single laugh completely enraged Nathaniel.He stormed over and seized my throat, his eyes blazing with vicious fury."Aurelia! You're absolutely incorrigible! You won't even spare an unborn beastchild?!"If I don't punish you properly now, God knows how you'll torment Grace and the baby once you're part of my household!"With that, he hurled me to the ground like garbage, his voice utterly merciless as he spat, "Send her to the
