Chapter 4

Penulis: Zoe bear
Even after sitting in Alpha Halbert’s car, my mind was still spinning like a rogue whirlwind.

His scent—clean, crisp, laced with a hint of pine and dominance—filled the enclosed space, stirring something deep in my chest.

I shook it off. No distractions.

"Spill it. What do you want?"

There was no way a powerful Alpha like Halbert helped me out of sheer goodwill. There had to be an angle.

To my surprise, he simply sighed and pulled the car smoothly onto the road.

Minutes later, we stopped in front of a boxing gym.

I blinked. What?

"You want me to be your punching bag?" I asked, arms crossed, as he stepped out and tossed me a gym bag.

Halbert had already changed into a fitted workout set, and I hated that I noticed how well it hugged his broad shoulders, his narrow waist—how his muscles flexed with every movement.

I looked away. Nope. Not going there.

"What? Afraid?" His deep voice carried an unmistakable challenge.

I strapped on the gloves without hesitation. The

  • Alpha Took Off My Wedding Dress for His Mistress   Chapter 10

    With the evidence secured, I was ready to call the Enforcer Pack—the werewolf version of the police.But before that, I decided to pay Becky a little visit.At that moment, she was livestreaming, shamelessly riding the popularity of the wedding fiasco to sell products. Her voice was as fake as her crocodile tears, oozing false regret while pushing overpriced skincare.Without a word, I marched in and yanked the power cord straight out of the wall.The screen went black.Becky let out a shriek so high-pitched that my wolf flinched. "Are you insane?! Can’t you see I’m live?!""Oh no, no, you’ve got the wrong person," I said sweetly, leaning against the table. "You’re the crazy one here. How could I possibly compete with you for that title?""You’re cursing me now?" she spat."Not at all," I cooed. "I mean, weren’t you the one who claimed you had a terminal illness? So tragic, so heartbreaking. And yet—" I made a show of looking her up and down. "Wow. For someone on death’s doorstep, you

    After changing into clean clothes, I stepped into the living room, where the lights were still on. My wolf twitched her ears, sensing the lingering tension in the air.Alpha Halbert sat on the couch, his presence filling the space like a storm cloud about to break. He tossed a small USB drive onto the table with deliberate force, his jaw tight with restrained fury."This is the surveillance footage from the hotel," he said, voice clipped. "The dressing room area is blurred out, so you can use it directly."His golden eyes darkened. "That Becky—such scheming behavior—I’ll find the best lawyer and make sure she ends up behind bars."His growl was low, barely restrained, and I swore I saw his canines lengthen for a split second.Without thinking, I stepped closer. His scent—pine and mint—wrapped around me, grounding me in a way I didn’t quite understand yet."W-What’s wrong?"I tilted my head, studying him. "Alpha Halbert."The way his body immediately stiffened made my wolf snicker.Like

    "The milk is warm, so be careful when drinking it." Morning came too soon. My eyes were swollen from crying, my head felt like it had been trampled by a rogue pack, and my heart—well, my heart was just plain confused. I dragged myself out of bed, expecting the usual emptiness, only to find breakfast already laid out in the living room. The scent of fresh-baked bread and warm milk wrapped around me, cozy and unexpected. A note sat beside the plate, ink still fresh, the elegant handwriting unmistakable. Alpha Halbert’s scent clung to the paper—a mix of pinewood,Mint. Even the graceful strokes of his letters seemed to carry his composed, ever-reliable presence. I picked up the sandwich, chewing absentmindedly as I stared at my phone. Should I text him? Last night’s words replayed in my head. "Alpha Micheal mustn’t see me coming to you." A strange feeling curled in my chest. If Alpha Halbert had admitted to being my savior that night… why had he never told me before? Had

    That night, I was trending on social media again. [Gold Digger Loses Her Prize, Lashes Out at Sugar Daddy] Sitting at my desk, I pressed play on the viral video. Every wolf in the pack must’ve watched it by now. [The Saddest Alpha: Forced to Marry by a Gold Digger, Loses His Wedding Trying to Fulfill His Dying Love’s Last Wish] [Heartless She-Wolf Pressures Terminally Ill Partner to Die, Extorts Over 13 Million from Alpha Micheal] The footage had been cut with surgical precision—only showing me smirking at Alpha Micheal as I demanded 13.14 million. It was neatly paired with a tragic clip of Becky, her pale face turned up toward the camera as she whispered weakly: "I’m dying…" Oh, for the love of the Moon Goddess. The internet had erupted into a frenzy. The hashtags were endless. JusticeForMicheal DyingLove JudyTheGoldDigger. The Blood Howl Pack’s stock prices even surged. And me? A bastard child of the wind. A homewrecker. A manipulator who forced an alpha into ma

    "Huh?" I stood there, rooted to the spot, my mind racing. I knew Alpha Halbert. Somewhere, deep in the buried corners of my memory, something about him felt… familiar. But no matter how hard I grasped for it, the memory remained just out of reach, like mist slipping through my fingers. Noticing my reaction, the light in Halbert’s golden eyes dimmed, his usual confidence fracturing just enough to reveal something deeper—a wound left unhealed. "Tell me." I reached for him before I could stop myself, gripping his forearm. His skin was warm, almost feverish beneath my fingertips. "Maybe if you say something, I’ll remember." For a moment, his wolf stirred beneath the surface, a faint flicker of hope flashing across his face. His lips parted—only for him to clench his jaw shut again. Then, with a conflicted shake of his head, he stepped back, severing the connection between us. "Forget it," he muttered, voice hoarse. "It’s better for you this way." Better? My wolf bristled at t

    Alpha Micheal’s temple visibly throbbed as he shook his head. "Fine, you're tough." His voice was thick with frustration. "Divorce is fine, but return my card." I blinked. Once. Twice. "What? Are you out of your mind?" I stared at him like he’d just grown a second head. "I paid for the entire wedding. You wanted to please Becky—why should I be the sucker footing the bill?" A low growl rumbled in his throat. "Judy Carlson!" His voice snapped through the air, laced with Alpha command, but my wolf just scoffed inside me. "You're an orphan with no proper job. Where would someone like you get millions?" His gaze dripped with contempt, like I was some desperate gold digger trying to swindle him. Yes, I was an orphan. But what Micheal conveniently forgot was that during college, I had built my own online empire. With my exceptional design skills, I founded my own company—a business that thrived entirely online, beyond the reach of his condescending assumptions. Instead of

    "Micheal Parkinson, for richer or poorer, will you stay by Becky Porter’s side, never to part?" The officiant’s voice rang out over the crowd. Onstage, Alpha Micheal gazed at Becky with a tenderness so nauseating it made my wolf bare her teeth. "I do not." The words ripped through the ceremony like a thunderclap. Gasps filled the air. Every head in the room snapped toward me. I saw it then—the exact moment realization dawned on Micheal’s face. His smile froze, his fingers twitching against Becky’s hand. "Where’s security?" Micheal growled, voice low and commanding. "Escort the troublemaker out." Halbert, standing beside me, handed me the microphone with an amused smirk. I didn’t even look at Micheal. Instead, I turned up the volume to max and let my voice ring across the hall. "Everyone, I am Judy Carlson. Tonight’s bride, Judy Carlson." Chaos erupted. A ripple of murmurs spread through the crowd like wildfire. The sharp rustling of guests flipping through their

    "Micheal." The air was thick with tension, our standoff silent but charged. My wolf, restless inside me, paced in my mind, ears pinned back. Then, the door swung open. Becky stepped in, her long hair cascading over her frail shoulders, her lips trembling as crystalline tears shimmered in her wide, doe-like eyes. She looked like the Moon Goddess herself had personally crafted her to inspire pity. Her voice was soft, weak, as if merely speaking was draining the life from her. "Don’t fight with Judy because of me," she murmured. "It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have... shouldn’t have gotten sick and then clung to life instead of just... dying right away..." I blinked. Did she really just say that? Micheal gently covered her mouth, like she was the most precious thing in the world. His eyes were brimming with so much raw tenderness . "Don’t be afraid," he said, voice low, soothing. "No matter what happens today, no one will stop me from granting your wish." A growl rumbl
