Chapter 10

작가: Against the Flow
Jaroch looked down. "I-"

Before he could finish his sentence, Marabel snapped at him.

"Enough. I don't want to hear your excuses.

"Jaroch, you got everything you ever wanted. Bityah's death was the price of your success!

"Don't you dare come here to visit her grave again.

"Because you're the one who killed her!"

Her words stung. His entire body trembled, and the numbness that had dulled him all this time crumbled like a dam breaking.

He tried to say something, but nothing came out. Stumbling forward, he made his way to my grave.

With a thud, he dropped to his knees.

A flash of lightning appeared in the sky, casting his pale face in a ghostly light.

Rain poured down as he whispered over and over, "I was wrong. I was so wrong."

I stood behind him and watched with a blank expression.

To me, he was just playing the victim again and pretending to grieve.

He had used the flimsiest excuses to steal his own brother's mate and status. He then tossed his own mate and daughter aside.

    Jaroch's pupils contracted, and his expression changed instantly."You're the one who set the fire at my house?"The kidnapper admitted it without hesitation. "Of course. I hated your brother. He destroyed everything I had. Since you wanted to take his place, I figured I'd kill you and the people you love most!"As the tension rose, the kidnapper pressed a knife to Lezah's throat and sneered."It's either you die, or I kill your precious woman and that unborn pup of yours."Lezah broke down in terrified sobs."Please save me, Jaroch. I don't want to die."Jaroch furrowed his brows and spoke grimly, "You came for me. Let her go. I'll trade my life for hers."The kidnapper let out another laugh. "You're willing to die for her? Guess you really loved your brother and his family. I wonder if your brother can rest in peace now. What a story, something everyone's going to talk about for years.""Shut up!" Jaroch snapped.Then, without warning, he lunged forward and shoved the kidna

    Marabel frowned. Suddenly, she burst into laughter."So that's what this is. A full-blown bait-and-switch!"I regret it so much now. I should've listened to the witch back then and stopped Bityah from marrying you. Maybe then she wouldn't have lost her life!"The witch Marabel spoke of had powerful abilities to foresee the future. She and Marabel were close, so she must have read my fate for her.Wiping away her tears, Marabel's voice turned stern."I don't care who you think you are now. Bityah is dead, and you will bury her in your official family tomb. If you refuse, I swear, I'll make sure you never know peace again."Watching Marabel stand up to such power for me made my heart ache with remorse.Back then, I'd even threatened to kill myself if she didn't let me marry Jaroch.Looking back, I realized I had ruined my life with my own hands.I regret meeting Jaroch, falling in love with him, and marrying him."She's not Bityah," Lezah cut in sharply. "She doesn't belong in

  • Ashes of the Mate Bond   Chapter 7

    The moment I saw Marabel out in the courtyard, I began to feel gut-wrenching emotions.I suddenly remembered how she had tried to stop me from marrying Jaroch, warning me that he wasn't a good man, but I hadn't listened.I married him anyway, and because of that, my father died. Marabel never forgave me. Her anger and silence all these years was because I'd disobeyed her.Two werewolves followed behind her. They were carrying someone on a stretcher.As soon as she laid eyes on Jaroch, she stormed up and slapped him hard across the face.Jaroch looked at her with eyes wide open in shock.Marabel yanked off the white cloth covering the stretcher and pointed at the burned corpse beneath. Her voice, raw and trembling, carved through the air with every word."This is your wife! And you just let someone else take her body away to bury? Do you not have a heart? Even in death, doesn't she deserve a place in your family's tomb?"Jaroch's pupils dilated as he stared at the scorched body

    Sylvia looked torn. She glanced at the body, then at Lezah, clearly unsure what to believe.Jaroch, on the other hand, casually shifted his gaze away from the body without a flicker of emotion.That was when the last bit of hope in me died.He really didn't remember that the bracelet was from him.I used to naively believe it was one of a kind and that it symbolized our love, but he'd given the same one to Lezah too.I had treasured it like it meant everything.It seemed I had over-estimated how much he loved me.He always looked like he loved deeply, but in truth, he was a complete jerk. I had been the fool who believed him.The scrawny man picked up the bracelet and started his performance again."Oh, this is the gold necklace I gave you!"I scoffed under my breath. One look at Lezah's satisfied smirk told me everything I needed to know. She had hired him.She really went all out to make sure I died without a name and without dignity.Sylvia, clearly upset and confused, s

    Jaroch didn't seem to fully buy into it.Feeling unsettled, he exhaled deeply before making up his mind."No. I still need to see the body for myself."Lezah didn't want him to go. She stepped in front of him to block his path."Jaroch, she told me before that she wanted to leave you. She's always been good at playing games. She's hiding and trying to get you to panic."Jaroch furrowed his brows. He opened his mouth to speak but swallowed the words."Don't let her shake you," Lezah continued speaking. "Stay calm. Don't let her lead you by the nose."She did everything she could to stop him from going to see my corpse."Let me take care of this, okay?"She held his hand tightly and leaned against his chest, clearly trying to distract him."Just the other day, my father told me there's a pack of rogue wolves causing trouble in the southern region. He wants you to bring a team and wipe them out. If you succeed, you might even get promoted."Jaroch's interest was immediately piq
