Chapter: Chapter 71
Donna slept like a log. When she finally woke up, her parents were gone. She looked everywhere, but the only room she hadn't checked was her dad's, and it was closed. Just as she was about to knock, the butler stopped her. He put a finger to his lips and whispered, “Your parents just got home from the hospital. They're still really tired and need to rest.”Donna wasn't buying it. She pouted and said, “But I wanna play with them!” “You can play with me,” the butler said. “Come downstairs, the chef made pudding for you today.” Hearing about the pudding, Donna forgot her parents for a minute and ran off to find the chef.“Slow down, honey, no running on the stairs!” the butler called, his old legs struggling to keep up with Donna's little legs.Inside the bedroom, Eudora lay face down on the bed, panting, “I… I think Donna is calling for us.”Ryan covered her, his body relentlessly moving. He seemed frustrated by her distraction and increased his speed, forcing her to bury her face i

The luxurious car pulled up in front of the grand mansion. Ryan stepped out, his face beaming. One arm was still wrapped in a brace, while the other held tightly onto Eudora’s hand. Together, they walked inside, exuding the confidence of a warrior returning from a glorious victory.“Dad! Mom!” Donna squealed with joy and ran over to hug them tightly.Today was the day Ryan was discharged from the hospital, a cause for celebration. The chef took the chance to show off his skills, preparing a meal that had everyone thoroughly enjoying themselves.After lunch, Donna could barely keep her eyes open. She had been so excited about her parents coming home that she stayed up late at night and woke up early to wait for them. Now, completely worn out, she dozed off on the sofa without anyone needing to lull her to sleep.Eudora carried her to her room, but as she stepped back out, Ryan called her over.“Come check my back. It’s itching like crazy!”She sighed and followed him, grumbling as she

He smirked. “I mean, I don’t need the medicine. A kiss from you will do the trick.”As he spoke, he lifted his head, looking at Eudora with hopeful eyes. Over the past half-month, their relationship had improved a lot, but because of his injuries, and his fear of pushing too fast and making her uncomfortable, they had only held hands so far.Eudora’s face heated up. They had been much more intimate before, knew each other’s bodies better than anyone. But now, faced with Ryan’s simple request, she found herself feeling strangely shy.“Can’t do it?” he asked.Under Ryan’s pleading gaze, she lowered her head and pressed a quick kiss to his cheek, light as a butterfly’s touch, there for a second before flitting away.Ryan was momentarily stunned, then looked at her again, eyes full of longing, clearly wanting more.Eudora chuckled. “Feeling better now?”He shook his head. “You kissed the wrong spot. It still hurts,” he said, pointing to his lips.She shot him a look and huffed, “You have

Ryan woke up to a stark white ceiling above him, the faint scent of antiseptic in the air reminding him that he was in a hospital.A sharp pain hit him all at once, making him groan in agony. But he didn’t have time to care about that. His first thought was: How is Eudora?Ralph was sitting by his bedside. Seeing Ryan wake up, he immediately pressed the call button for the doctor.“Where’s Eudora? How is she?” Ryan asked anxiously.“She’s resting in the room next door,” Ralph replied. “She stayed here the whole time. I had to convince her to get some sleep. She’s only been resting for about an hour.”“Is she okay?” Ryan pressed on.“She inhaled a lot of smoke. Luckily, her lungs weren’t affected, but she’s still coughing. The doctors said they need to keep an eye on her for now.”Hearing that, Ryan felt somewhat relieved.Just then, a team of medical staff entered to check on him. After confirming that everything was stable, the doctor gave a few instructions before leaving.The momen

Thick smoke billowed, and the scorching heat felt like it was searing Ryan’s lungs. But he didn’t care, he was willing to risk everything to find the woman he loved.“Eudora, where are you? Answer me!”His desperate voice cut through the chaos, making Eudora wonder if she was imagining things. She forced her stinging eyes open, trying to focus, and rasped weakly,“I’m here, Ryan… I’m here… cough… cough… cough…”As soon as she spoke, she was overcome by another fit of coughing.Through the thick smoke, Ryan finally caught sight of Eudora tied tightly to the staircase railing near the window. His heart clenched, and without hesitation, he dashed toward her.“Don’t be scared, I’m here!”His voice was hoarse but filled with warmth. Eudora looked up in anticipation, and through the suffocating smoke, she saw his tall figure cutting through the haze, framed by the raging flames behind him. At that moment, only one thought filled her mind - he was her hero.Ryan’s mind was far from calm, des

Rejected Fiancée: The Antagonist's Revenge

Rejected Fiancée: The Antagonist's Revenge

Ernesta, the daughter of a wealthy family, had lived like an orphan for over a decade after being separated from her parents as a young child. At sixteen, she was finally found and brought home. Ernesta believed her life was starting anew, that she would finally be surrounded by her family's love. But she had no idea what awaited her: her brother's judgmental gaze, her father's disdain, and her mother's feigned affection. This was because someone had completely usurped her place in the family. Her foster sister, Kiera, though unrelated by blood to the Merediths, had been raised in luxury and had become a true lady. Ernesta, the real daughter raised in a less fortunate environment, wasn't considered noble enough, elegant enough, and was treated like an outsider. On the night of Ernesta's 20th birthday, also the night her engagement to Ryder was announced, he coldly stated, “The only one I've ever loved is Kiera.” Why hadn't he said it sooner? Why did he have to say it today, in front of so many guests, making her look like a fool? To make matters worse, her father, mother, and brother all turned their backs on her to protect the deceitful Kiera. Ernesta turned and walked away. This time, she was determined to let go of the family love she had always craved. She wanted to prove to the Merediths and Ryder that her life would be even better without them. But a serious car accident nearly claimed Ernesta's life. When she awoke, a mechanical voice echoed in her ears, “Ding! Congratulations, master, on successfully installing the Life-Altering System. Your brain is severely damaged, and your body is in a vegetative state. If you want a chance to wake up, you need to complete the mission assigned by the Life-Altering System.”

Ernesta wanted to repay Roger’s kindness, but right now, she was just an orphan with no power, no status. On top of that, her adoptive father was lurking around, trying to take her heart. She really had nothing of value to offer.After thinking for a moment, Ernesta asked Roger,“Do you want to play a game?”Roger was caught off guard. The conversation had been serious, and suddenly Ernesta brought up something completely unrelated. Before he could voice his confusion, she added,“It’s a game I designed. Want to try it?”Roger’s attention immediately shifted. He looked surprised.“You know how to design games? Like your sister?”“Are you playing or not?” she repeated, not wanting to explain further.Of course Roger wanted to. He had no idea Ernesta had this kind of skill, and he was really curious what kind of game she had made.After Roger took out his phone, Ernesta sent him a file. He opened it and installed the game. In no time, the interface popped up. It was still the same Ernie

Hearing some commotion outside, Ernesta guessed that Fiona and Ralph had returned. As someone who deeply cared for her younger sister and knew Fiona’s illness had relapsed, she naturally had to check on her.The moment she poked her head out, she saw Ralph carrying Fiona into the room. She quickly rushed over and asked with concern,“Fiona, are you alright?”Fiona kept her eyes closed, unwilling to respond to Ernesta. But since Ralph was present, she didn’t dare to act too harshly and replied,“I’m feeling really unwell.”Ralph laid Fiona down on the bed, covered her with a blanket, then gently stroked her hair and said softly,“Rest now. Don’t overthink it. What matters most right now is taking care of your health.”He didn’t mention a single word about what had happened earlier that afternoon, which made Fiona quietly breathe a sigh of relief.As soon as Ralph left, Fiona's expression changed completely toward Ernesta.“What do you want from me? Are you secretly gloating right now?”

At that moment, Ralph slowly stepped in from outside. No one knew how long he had been there or how much he had heard.Fiona’s face turned ghostly pale, her breathing quick and unsteady as if she might faint at any second.Ralph didn’t seem to notice her distress. He walked straight to the computer, took the programmer’s seat, and started testing the game himself.After five minutes, he looked up at Ernesta, his eyes full of admiration.“Did you write this?” he asked.Ernesta nodded. “Yes.”Ralph smiled, his expression noticeably softer. It was the first time he had ever smiled at her.“You should keep learning programming. Stick with it, and don’t give up.”Ernesta hesitated, glancing at Ralph, then at Fiona, before speaking cautiously.“But… Fiona…”“You don’t need to worry about her. I’ll talk to Fiona. Your job is to develop your talent and give it your best.”This time, Fiona didn’t even have to pretend to be sick, because she truly felt unwell.Ever since Ralph walked in, he had

As soon as Ernesta finished speaking, 001 blurted out,“Master, what are you doing? You can't harm the female lead! That’s what antagonists do, and antagonists in novels never have a good ending. If this goes wrong, our mission will fail!” Its voice was still flat and robotic, but it was talking way faster than usual.Ernesta shot back,“Take a good look. Who’s really trying to hurt who here? And besides, this isn’t just some novel anymore. This is a real, complete world.”001 didn’t know how to respond. The female lead was supposed to be the good guy, but if that were true, why was she falsely accusing its master of stealing her work? It felt completely lost, maybe it needed a system update to process all of this.Ernesta ignored 001’s internal crisis and got back into character.“I can prove I made this game. Are you still sticking with that story?” she asked Fiona.Fiona suddenly felt uneasy, but she was already in too deep, there was no backing out now. She just had to go with it

Ernesta swiftly opened a pre-installed game development tool on the computer screen. Her fingers flew across the keyboard, churning out lines of code like a machine gun. As she typed, she effortlessly explained the game's concept and mechanics, her words flowing as smoothly as the code itself. The most astonishing thing was her ability to juggle two tasks at once without sacrificing speed or accuracy.Even before anyone knew what kind of game Ernesta was building, her sheer skill had everyone impressed.Fiona's face turned pale. She had no idea Ernesta was this good. While Fiona could type just as fast, she could only do it when fully focused. To chat and code simultaneously while maintaining accuracy was simply beyond her. At that moment, Fiona felt like Ernesta was glowing with talent.Fiona, of course, didn't want Ernesta to outshine her. But she was the one who had suggested Ernesta show off her skills, and it was too late to back out now. She could only tell herself

Despite Fiona's heart condition flaring up, causing a stir in the house, Ralph still made sure a computer was installed in Ernesta's room by the end of the day. He even brought her a pile of documents on programming languages and game design.It seemed he was determined to nurture Ernesta, testing if she truly had the potential to fully replace Fiona.Staying in her room, Fiona kept tabs on everything happening outside. With the help of the maid, she knew exactly what Ralph was doing. Her chest tightened, her hands gripping the blanket. She forced herself to stay calm, knowing her weak heart couldn't handle any more stress.But how could she stay calm when she saw Ralph's affection for her being taken by someone else? Even if it was her own sister, she couldn't accept it.She simply couldn't see Ernesta surpassing her in programming and game design. The things Ernesta boasted about were just basic introductory knowledge. It wasn't worth Ralph's attention.Perhaps

Chapter: Chapter 46: Killing with a Borrowed Knife
In a secluded courtyard inside the pack house, a man and a woman stood facing each other, he, handsome and imposing; she, elegant and composed. But deep within their gazes, turbulent undercurrents churned.Draken clenched his fists at his sides, his voice low and restrained, as if suppressing a storm of emotions.“Evelyn, is that truly the path you want to take?”Evelyn was silent. She lowered her eyes, hiding the fierce turmoil within. After a few moments, she looked up at him and replied calmly,“Yes.”Draken’s brows drew together tightly. He stepped closer, his deep black eyes locking onto hers, pressing her with his stare.“Even knowing it won’t bring you happiness?”Evelyn tilted her chin slightly, meeting his burning gaze, forcing herself to stay steady.“How could it not? Any she-wolf would be happy to become a Luna.”A bitter, raspy laugh escaped Draken. He shook his head, pain evident in every hard line of his face.“Evelyn, stop lyin

Chapter: Chapter 45: Evelyn’s Suggestion
Evelyn had always been well aware of the predicament Raven had been facing these past few days. After all, the chaos wasn’t random, it was the result of her mother’s behind-the-scenes efforts, all aimed at clearing the path for Evelyn to become the Luna of the Blood Moon pack.Her mother had done so much for her. Now that they were just one step away from success, Evelyn had to do her part to ensure nothing went wrong.Beneath the soft golden light of the guest lounge, Raven walked in with a cold air about him. Evelyn Dermot had been waiting, a proper, gentle smile on her lips. Yet, there was a trace of weariness on her face, as if she, too, had been enduring tough days.Raven barely glanced at her, his gaze indifferent and distant. He didn’t bother to hide his displeasure, and the aura of an Alpha unconsciously seeped from him, making it hard for Evelyn to stay composed. She clenched her hands under the folds of her gown, but her face remained calm and steady.“You

Cara kept her head down, eyes fixed on the floor, but inside, her emotions were in complete disarray.She couldn’t even begin to describe what she was feeling, was it bitterness? Humiliation? Or pain?She shouldn’t be feeling any of this. She should be relieved, even happy.If Raven took a Luna, maybe, just maybe, he would finally let her go, let her return to the life she truly wanted.But for some reason, her heart ached unbearably at this moment.With a quiet sigh, she stood up, picked up her cleaning bucket, and turned to leave, her steps heavy and silent.Just behind the wooden door, Raven could feel her emotional turmoil as if it were his own.Through their bond, he immediately sensed she was there, and had heard every word Draken had said.Realizing she was about to leave, Raven didn’t care that someone else was still in the room.He shot to his feet and rushed after her without a second thought.Draken was left behind, his sharp brows

Chapter: Chapter 43: Guilt
Raven’s footsteps echoed through the hallway leading to the servants' quarters. Each step was quick, urgent, reflecting the restlessness churning inside him.‘Cara, I’m coming for you.’‘What are you doing?’‘Please, answer me.’He reached out to her again and again through their mate bond. He knew she wouldn’t respond, but somehow, trying made the anxiety in his chest a little more bearable.He stopped in front of the last room at the end of the hall and gently pushed the door open. It wasn’t locked. Of course it wasn’t. Lock or not, he could’ve gotten in anyway.Cara was on the floor, fiddling with the familiar cleaning tools she’d used day after day.“Cara, what are you doing? Why won’t you answer me?” Raven asked, his voice rough.She didn’t reply. Didn’t even look at him. She grabbed a wooden bucket and a rag and headed for the door.Raven reached out and held her back. “You don’t have to do this anymore. You don’t belong here. Come back to o

The tension inside the main hall was tightening like a string about to snap. Just then, a woman’s voice rang out, firm, yet carrying a gentle undertone.“That’s enough,” said lady Amanda Dermot, the council’s only female member, rising slowly to her feet. She wore a cloak of deep purple, her blonde hair neatly tied in a high bun. Her kind eyes, however, held a weight of experience that commanded attention.“We are here to discuss the future of the pack, not to drive our Alpha into a corner. Raven needs time to consider this carefully. In the end, the decision must come from his heart.”Turning to Raven, her tone softened, gentle, but unwavering.“Think it through, my son. Choosing a Luna takes more than love, it takes someone who is truly right for the role. But I trust that with your wisdom and your sense of responsibility, you won’t make the wrong choice.”No one spoke up against Amanda. Her presence alone was enough to silence the room, for now. Still, Raven k

Raven stepped into the main hall, where sunlight streamed through the high windows and fell onto the marble floor, casting a solemn, oppressive atmosphere. The Elders were already in their seats, their expressions stern, as though a monumental decision was hanging in the air.At his arrival, they all stood and bowed in respect. Raven gave a slight nod, his sharp gaze sweeping across each familiar face before settling on the central seat at the head of the room. He walked forward, took his place, and spoke in a low, steady voice filled with authority,“What matter is so urgent that the council had to be summoned this early in the morning?”The eldest of the council, his long silver hair tied neatly back, his bearing composed and dignified, slowly stood. With hands clasped in front of him, he looked Raven directly in the eye.“Alpha, the Blood Moon Pack is at a pivotal crossroads,” he said clearly, his voice cutting through the silence. “We need a Luna.
