Bereaved and Bloodthirsty

Felix and I had been childhood sweethearts.His father was the previous Alpha of the Blackrock pack while my father was the Beta. His father had also handpicked me to be Felix's Luna. Our union had been determined from the moment I was born.Felix and I grew up together. We raced each other through the forest under the moonlight and manifested our wolves together when we turned 18.I could still recall with crystal-clear clarity the feelings that had coursed through me when I smelled his chilling scent for the first time. It was proof that a wolf had found their fated mate.Our mating ritual was a grand affair. With the pack watching us, Felix sank his teeth into my nape and marked me.I wholly dedicated myself to helping him secure the position of the Alpha of the Blackrock pack.Felix once promised that he would give me happiness and security for the rest of my life.I couldn't deny that the time we had spent together was sweet, especially when we welcomed our pup, Ryan, into

I wasn't surprised at all when Faith showed up at my office."Didn't you always act all aloof in the past, Wendy? Didn't you hate it when someone interfered with your relationship? When did you stoop so low to become someone's mistress? And how dare you do it so brazenly as well?"Her accusations prompted the wolves around us to whisper among themselves.Although I had expected Faith to confront me, I was still stunned by her logic. I bit my lip when I saw Felix rushing over to us from the corner of my eye and mumbled, "I'm sorry, Faith. I didn't mean for things to end up this way. I just couldn't control myself because Felix is my fated mate.""You bitch!" Faith roared, raising her hand to slap me.Gasps erupted all around us.I closed my eyes and steeled myself for the slap.However, the pain never came.Felix had grabbed Faith's wrist in the nick of time—just like how he stopped me from slapping her in the past."That's enough! Haven't you humiliated yourself enough?"Fa

"Stop it, Felix. Perhaps Faith had her reasons for doing what she did," I said softly as I took a step forward.Felix let go of Faith and transformed back into his human form. However, the air around him was still extremely intimidating.Of course, my plan wasn't to help Faith.Felix was a naturally suspicious person. He only lost his temper at that moment because his emotions had reached a breaking point.I had my own reasons for wanting him to conduct a proper investigation. Firstly, I wanted to clear my own name. Secondly, I wanted Felix to find out that Faith had framed me for poisoning her a year ago."Get to the bottom of this," Felix ordered.He then left the hall with the Beta of the Blackrock pack, Lucas Tillbury.Faith looked more relaxed despite how her body was swaying from side to side. The pup was definitely Felix's, so she would get a chance to turn the situation around once the investigation was over.When she noticed that I was looking at her, she stuck her nos

I didn't kill Felix.Death was too merciful for him.As the wolfbane's poison rapidly coursed through his veins, his struggles gradually became weaker.In the end, Felix lay completely still on the floor. Only his eyes, full of fear and pleading, continued to frantically dart around.It was perfect.This was the state that I wanted Felix to be in—trapped within his shell of a body while remaining completely lucid. That way, he would be faced with his own hopelessness for the rest of his days.I stood up and opened the door, shouting, "Help! Something happened to Felix!"Lucas was the first to rush into the room with a few guards trailing behind him. They were stunned when they saw Felix lying immobile on the floor and the blackened blood around him.Lucas turned to look at me, pinning me with a suspicious, questioning stare."What happened here, Luna?"Tears streamed down my face as my body shook violently."He told me that he planned Ryan's death."I threw myself next to F

"The pup with the type-O blood that you conducted the paternity test on was someone I found at the orphanage," I explained."I laid a trap in the Blackrock pack's medical center a long time ago. The moment Faith gave birth to your pup, I switched him out for someone else."Felix's stiff body began twitching slightly when he heard what I said.I lifted my hand and pointed at the pup with the pallid complexion in Faith's arms."Do you see him?" I asked. "He's your flesh and blood. The pups in the orphanage are so pitiful because they've lost their parents. I couldn't bear to let him suffer because of Faith's actions, so I switched the pups again and let him return to his mother's side."Faith let out a crazed scream upon hearing my words. Meanwhile, the pup in her arms remained unresponsive and continued staring blankly into space."Look at your son, Felix. He should have been the successor of the Blackrock pack, but he'll die in this place because of you.""You… evil… witch… Wend
