LOGINVera withdrew her hand. Wendy's body fell to the ground like a broken doll.Her abdomen had a gaping wound. Blood poured out, mixing with Wendy's tears.Kieran stood frozen in place, staring at Vera in disbelief. He could not believe the shy, obedient girl from before had become this.Soren calmly pulled a handkerchief from his coat and carefully wiped the blood from Vera's arm, bit by bit. Only after cleaning every trace did he toss the handkerchief to the ground with disgust."Well, the show's over and revenge is done. We'll be leaving now.”"No need to see us out. Really, there's no need."Soren took Vera's hand and walked toward the exit. After a brief moment of shock, Kieran hurried after them.He grabbed Vera's wrist, breathing hard. "Vera, come back to me. I don't care that you held a conversion ceremony. I'll treat you well.”"Vera, we can go back to how things were before, okay?"Kieran spoke with sincerity and emotion. The love in his eyes seemed ready to overflow. B
Kieran's eyes went blank. He collapsed to the ground."No. This can't be true...”"I killed my own pup with my own hands... mine and Vera's pup..."Tears slid down Kieran's face. The Alpha, who had always been confident and authoritative, now looked as fragile as a pup.Vera walked toward him step by step, crouched down, and met his gaze at eye level."Kieran, do you know what my first thought was the day I miscarried? Relief.”"Thank god you didn't know about this pup. Thank god he left my body. At least I wouldn't have to be tied to you for the rest of my life because of him.”"That would've been too painful."The eyes that used to look at him with such love now held nothing. Not even anger or resentment remained.It was as if Kieran meant nothing to her, that he was now a complete stranger."That's not true, Vera. I didn't know about this.”"If I had known... if I'd known, I never would have...""Would never have what? Never locked me in the dungeon over something Wendy
Kieran's gaze instantly went blank. He staggered back a step and bumped into the corner of the table behind him."No. That's impossible...”"The person Vera loves is me! She would never hold a conversion ceremony with you!”"He forced you, didn't he? Vera, he forced you, right?"Kieran's voice even carried a pleading tone. His gaze remained fixed on Vera the entire time, never looking away.He desperately searched her face for even the slightest trace of lingering affection for him.However, Vera's expression was so calm it bordered on cold.She tugged at Soren's collar. Soren bent down and set her on the ground.Vera looked at Kieran and said softly, "He didn't force me. I did this willingly.”"Kieran, what makes you think that after everything you did to me, I would still love you unconditionally?”"I'm not a fool. I won't waste that much time on someone who doesn't matter."They had grown up together. They had so many beautiful memories. And now he had become someone who
Soren, dressed in a tailcoat, suddenly appeared at the chapel entrance. He held a cane in his hand, looking like a gentleman from the turn of the last century.Soren walked in, his dress shoes clicking against the floor. He covered his nose and mouth as he surveyed everything around him with disgust."Kieran, your ceremony is being held in this dump? So, the rumors about werewolf packs being dirt poor are actually true."Soren's tone dripped with smugness. He allowed Owen and his subordinates to surround him completely, simply watching Kieran with a smile.Kieran released his grip, and Roland fell to the ground.Kieran stood on the steps, looking down at Soren, and said each word deliberately. "You knew all along.”"You knew Vera was my fated mate all along. Why didn't you tell me?""Why would I tell you?" Soren smiled, his eyes crinkling. He did not even bother hiding his fangs.He tilted his head, his voice cheerful. "You're the one who couldn't see what was right in front of
The marking ceremony began exactly on time. Kieran wore a black suit as he waited quietly in the chapel for Wendy to appear.The most important members of the werewolf pack were all present.Moonlight filtered through the chapel's rose window and fell across Kieran's face, making him look eerie and unsettling.The chapel doors slowly opened. Wendy appeared in the doorway.Her long wavy hair framed her graceful figure. Her snow-white skin made her look like a delicate, fragile doll.Wendy had grown much thinner these past days. Her body looked increasingly haggard.She pressed her lips together tightly and stood frozen at the door, her eyes occasionally darting toward Roland.Kieran frowned impatiently, strode toward Wendy, and grabbed her wrist."Isn't this what you wanted? Why pretend now? Hurry up!"Kieran practically dragged Wendy to the front. In her panic, she made eye contact with Roland and immediately shrank back like a frightened rabbit.In the past few days, Roland
The estate was brightly lit in the early morning hours. Wendy knelt on the ground, her expression panicked, while Kieran sat in front of her.He raised his hand and lifted her chin." Still not talking? Do you know how serious the crime of conspiring with outsiders to harm an Alpha is? It's enough to send you to the borders doing hard labor for the rest of your life.""Alpha, I don't know! I didn't do anything! I just wanted to check on your health, but then you dragged me into your room.”"I really didn't do anything. Alpha, you have to believe me!”"In just a few days, I'll be your mate. I'm carrying your pup. How could I possibly do anything to hurt you?"Wendy spoke with such sincerity, but unfortunately, Kieran had no trust in her whatsoever.Kieran's sense of smell was sharper than most werewolves. The moment he received tonight's dinner, he immediately noticed something had been added to it.He had intended to play along and lure out whoever had drugged him.Kieran had
