After Nine Escapes, I Chose His Brother Chapter 9
I turned to see Cain approaching with Lina in tow.Both wore ill-fitting backup ceremonial outfits—wrinkled and sloppy. Lina's expression was difficult to read, a strange mix of pride and resentment. Marrying Cain had always been her greatest desire, yet the extravagant wedding she'd dreamed of was nothing like this makeshift ceremony trailing behind mine.As they passed, she pressed herself against Cain, deliberately revealing the fresh kiss marks on his neck—a smug claim of ownership. "From now on, we're one family."I arched a brow and, playing along, replied with mock solemnity, "Little brother, sister-in-law... may you always be together. Locked tight."Lina preened in satisfaction, but Cain's fists clenched at my words. I ignored him, took Cass's hand, and under the priest's blessing, we exchanged our tokens.With the heat of onlookers' gazes on my back, Cass lowered his head and pressed a gentle kiss to my neck, sealing the mark. I felt the bond settle deep in my soul and w

The old Alpha's face darkened. He signaled for the ceremony to pause and led me to the VIP lounge at the back."Elena... I know this isn't what we agreed upon," he said, his voice heavy with regret. "But Cain is still the legitimate heir. If I hand the Alpha position to a bastard, the council elders will never accept it."Besides... Cass has already been given half the mines and hunting grounds. That's an extraordinary concession—it's not as if we're shortchanging you."Half the resources, or absolute authority as Alpha—any wolf with sense knew which held true power. Without the title, Cass would never have real legitimacy."Are you breaking the agreement?" I asked flatly.The old Alpha's gaze shifted uneasily. "Half the resources is more than generous. Elena... one must learn to be content."I watched his eyes dart away, and I understood. Age softens the heart, especially when bloodlines are involved. No matter what, his loyalty still bent toward the unworthy legitimate heir.T

Cain froze, caught completely off guard.Lina's eyes darted, as if she'd just noticed something. Pointing at Cass's attire, she said, "Brother Cain... isn't that the ceremonial suit only the groom wears?"Cain's gaze slowly traveled to the black-and-gold robes embroidered with the Alpha King's totem. His face contorted with fury. "Elena... you actually dare to make him your mate?"He lost control, words spilling out in a frenzy. "He's a bastard! A mongrel whelped by some stray she-wolf! Have you lost your mind, mating with him?"His glare seemed to bore holes straight through Cass. "Elena, when did you start... creeping around with him? Was it when I was inspecting the Northern territories, or while you were hiding out at the Alpha estate nursing your wounds?"Cain acted like a wronged mate, desperate for proof of my betrayal. But he forgot—his Northern inspection was a public duty, and he'd taken Lina to see the auroras. When I was injured at the estate, he'd been busy squiring L

After I spoke, Cass stepped forward, clad in a black ceremonial suit threaded with gold—an exact match to mine. He extended his hand, palm up."Let's go to the altar. The elders are waiting."I placed my hand in his naturally, our fingers lacing together.A flash of fire ignited in Cain's eyes. "Elena... you shameless bitch! How dare you cozy up to another man right in front of me!"He lunged to pull me away, but two Gamma wolves behind Cass locked him in place.Cain was still roaring when Lina suddenly appeared, her face dramatically swathed in bandages, wailing, "Cain! They said Elena ordered them to punish me! I barely escaped!"I watched her performance with cold detachment.Those wolves were all Cass's trusted enforcers. There was no way they'd take orders from me. This was just another of Lina's fabrications.But Cain always fell for it. His pupils dilated to a dangerous amber. "Elena! You've got some nerve, bullying Lina right under my nose! Do you really want to start a

I smirked and said flatly, "Fine."In front of the entire pack, I stepped forward and looped my arms around Cass's neck, leaning close to murmur in his ear. "Let's go."Cain's enraged roar tore through the air behind us, but I no longer cared what he was shouting.In the nearby lounge, the healer was already waiting.Cass was tense at first, only relaxing when the healer confirmed I was all right. But when his gaze dropped to the cut along my jaw, a flicker of cold violence passed through his eyes."Sorry... I was too late."He reached out as if to touch the wound, but his fingers trembled. He clenched his fist and pulled back.I held the steaming cup of herbal tea, my mind still fixed on Cain's claws driving toward me—for Lina. Even knowing how biased he was, even knowing that orphan girl would always come first, I never imagined he would actually try to hurt me. Try to kill me.I remembered when we were pups, sneaking into the forbidden forest and getting cornered by a pack o

The box held a moonstone—a relic my mother left me before she passed. On her deathbed, she told me the stone would watch over me and guide me to my true fated mate.Cain knew better than anyone what that stone meant to me.He hesitated for half a breath, then jerked his chin toward the far end of the hall. "Put that outside for now."Lina's eyes glittered. She darted forward and snatched the box from the Gamma's hands. "Cain's right. Something this precious needs to be handled with care."She spoke of care, but her hand deliberately slipped.The moonstone crashed onto the cold marble floor and shattered into pieces.The blue glow bled out through the cracks, its soft light snuffed out forever.I lunged forward, dropping to my knees. "Oh! The box was so slippery! I couldn't hold it!" Lina's voice rang out above me.I stood and slapped her across the face. She screamed, spinning halfway from the force.Teeth gritted, I struck her again. "I slipped too, you worthless—"Suddenl
