Chapter 9

Author: Chloe X
The male wolf took out a few photos, a diary, and a cell phone, and shoved them into my arms.

I looked down at the crumpled photos. They were unmistakably of me—with the male wolf in front of me, Shawn.

"This is... me and you?"

Could it be that we were really mates?

But if that were true, why did I feel nothing?

I opened the torn diary. It documented a love story from seven years ago—ours. Between the lines, I could feel the warmth of a young couple in love. I had written about Shawn’s thoughtfulness, his small gestures of care, and my devotion to him. That kind of sweetness practically spilled off the page.

"The memos on this phone are about our daily life too," Shawn added quickly.

Half-heartedly, I opened the phone. Indeed, every note and memo was about Shawn. But then—a dull pain pressed down on my heart. My hand trembled as I tapped into the deleted drafts.

There, one memo recorded the names of seven human girls, alongside detailed notes on their preferences.

I froze. Pointing at

    Half a month later, Lucius and I held our bonding ceremony.The southern pack lands gathered in celebration—Alphas, their Lunas, and dignitaries from the most powerful clans. The air was thick with forest-scented colognes, laughter, champagne, and murmurs of power. At the center of it all stood Lucius, with my hand held firmly in his.Everywhere we went, he introduced me without hesitation, pride gleaming in his voice.“This is my Luna.”I wore a gown from Italy—flowing silver silk stitched with tiny moonflowers.It was the only one of its kind.“I saw that gown once in Milan!” one Luna gasped, brushing her fingers near my sleeve.“I can’t believe it was bought by Alpha Lucius. For you!”Lucius chuckled, then leaned in with a wink.“I promise to be more subtle in the future. But not today.”The way he smiled at me, the way he spoke my name—Lara—made me feel like I was the happiest in the world.But the peace didn’t last long.“Clara!”A sharp, guttural voice sliced through the music li

    "Lucius! You've loved stealing from me since we were pups—now you even dare to steal my beloved Luna?!"That was the first time I’d ever heard Shawn call me that.His beloved Luna.Over the years, I’d been called that she-wolf, that bitch, or simply her.Sometimes “Luna” was used mockingly. But never “beloved.”And now he used it like a badge of honor.I almost laughed.I followed Lucius out, my steps steady but my chest tight.In the courtyard, Shawn's wolf thrashed under the weight of the guards, snarling and bleeding into the snow.Still… the pain inside me swelled, coiling deep in my lungs, suffocating."Clara…"Shawn’s voice cracked. His eyes were red, like back when we were young.When we first dated, he blushed every time I looked at him too long.When he felt insecure, he’d ask me softly, with red-rimmed eyes, Do you love me?And I’d always smile and coax him gently, treating him like a timid pup. I liked taking care of him. I liked how soft he once was.But that tenderness was

    Shelly touched her belly—flat, untouched—wearing a smug expression as if she believed her lie could rewrite fate.But she didn’t expect the way the other girls turned pale.“That’s impossible,” one of them whispered. “They’re… werewolves.”It was only then that Shelly realized she didn’t truly understand what kind of world she had stepped into.She might’ve picked up a few words—bonding, alpha, mate—but she didn’t grasp their meaning.She could’ve known—if she had seen me shift that night.But she hadn’t.And now, the girls who had seen too much were scrambling upstairs, packing their things with shaking hands.Shelly didn’t understand the panic. She couldn’t fathom why the word pregnancy wasn’t enough to change Shawn’s mind. She still thought this was a normal relationship. Still thought she had power.Shawn stood there, face cold and unreadable. But when he spoke, his voice was sharp and clear.“Gwen, call the witch healer. Have them prepare for a memory erasure—every single one of t

    The photo in his hand had been taken in our early twenties, on the streets of Paris.We had just gotten together.He was too shy to put his arm around my shoulder—but I noticed his hesitation, so I leaned my head against him.That was enough for the photo to capture something gentle, something real.Now, Shawn sat with the photo, carefully wiping away the dust and trying to smooth the creases. But no matter how carefully he tried, it remained wrinkled.Just like everything else between us—too damaged to ever be perfect again.Outside the door, the chatter of the human girls floated in.“Today, Gwen’s making strawberry cake—we better hurry down for a seat!”“This dress is so pretty. Expensive stuff really is different.”“Hey, where did you get this hairpin?”“These shoes look amazing on me, right?”Shawn frowned and turned toward the sound.Through the doorway, he saw Shelly twirling in a long pink dress—the one he had bought in Italy for Clara. A gift for their one-month anniversary.“

    I was forced to take care of Shelly for seven straight days.Only on the eighth did Shawn finally let me go—he said it was my fault.That I'd asked for it.I returned to the room where my father lay, still and silent, and I didn't go out."So this is where Luna Clara's hiding!"Shelly's voice chirped behind me, sweet and shrill."Thanks to that blow to the head you gave me, Shawn's been spoiling me ever since."She sauntered into the room with a smug sway, her eyes sweeping over the medical machines like they were decorations."Is that your dad? Why doesn't he move?"She walked over to him, rattled the oxygen tube like a toy."What's this for?""Don't touch that!"I shoved her back, my voice sharp. She stumbled, arms flailing as she clutched her head like I'd struck her again.And then she smiled. A slow, cruel smile.She yanked the oxygen tube free."Do you think Shawn will blame me for this?"She held it in her hand, dangling it like a ribbon, her eyes sparkling with amusement.The h
