Chapter 7

Author: Ding
I suddenly felt my phone buzzing in my pocket while I was sorting through my supplies following the severance of the mate bond. I noticed an unfamiliar number pop up on the screen, accompanied by a sharp crackle of static as I answered.

I then heard Joey's raspy voice, saying, "A-Alpha Chris is in trouble, Selena."

I went still as I held the phone, a chill spreading through my fingers.

I was told that Chris had successfully apprehended a Rogue during patrol, but Emily's sudden appearance th

  • Breaking the Bond After Alpha Chooses Her   Chapter 11

    It was a few days later, and Chris was discharged after his recovery. I went back to my job as the Criminal Investigator of the Southern Gray Wolf pack, where the Council of Elders organized a formal ceremony to honor our achievements.David and Emily, accused of smuggling contraband, sheltering criminals, and threatening the pack's safety, were delivered to the High Court for trial, where the full weight of the pack's law awaited them. Those 9,650 Troy ounces of gold that went missing back then were also recovered after David's confession, so none of it ended up on the black market.That night, the full moon hung high, casting its silver glow over everything. Chris and I sat atop the pack's highest watchtower, gazing down at the countless lights of the pack settlement below. That evening wind brought the scent of the mountains and forests, mingled with the distant howls and playful yips of pups.Chris gently wrapped his arms around me from behind, his chin settling in the curve o

    In the end, under the runic lights that burned through the night in the interrogation room, Emily and Mike reached their breaking point and gave a full account of every crime they had committed.It turned out that the "Mike" who had carried out the mission back then wasn't the real Mike at all. The real Mike had been brutally shoved off a cliff during another mission to hunt down the rogues, and his fate had remained unknown ever since. Seizing this golden opportunity in the chaos, David found an unidentified wolf's corpse, paired it with Mike’s pack badge, and faked the scene of Mike being killed in the attack and the gold being stolen. He made everyone in the pack firmly believe that Mike was dead, while he secretly seized all the gold for himself.That fake Mike was actually David Hound—Emily's first love.Emily had known the truth all along, yet for the lure of gold and her twisted notion of "love", she chose to shelter the impostor.She stayed close to Chris, posing as "the

    Mike's pupils shrank the moment his eyes landed on the shimmering heap of gold, his breathing hitching. He began to murmur under his breath, his feet drawing him toward the treasure as if of their own accord, while a greedy look crossed his face. "G-Gold…"I watched from the shadows, a faint, icy smirk touching my lips.Just as Mike's fingers were about to graze the gold, powerful searchlights flared to life from every direction, rendering the entire space as bright as daylight.In that instant, the Elder Council's enforcement squad swarmed out from their hiding spots, instantly encircling Mike and Emily. They were armed with silver weapons and weighted nets as they yelled, "Freeze! We're the pack's enforcement squad!" It was then that the Elder's voice boomed over the megaphone, heavy with authority and rage. "You're still alive after all, Mike! You were in on it, too, Emily! You two plotted to fake the death and steal the pack's gold! "You're even working with the Rogues to br

    I had a feeling that something was amiss, so I followed Emily stealthily. I pulled out my phone and started recording, pointing it toward her at the corner. I could hardly make out the faint voice from the other end of the call, but I did hear a familiar name—Emily's "deceased" Beta mate, Mike Fuller.I went over the unclear dialogue in the hallway surveillance footage multiple times before calling the Elders' Council administrator. I then said softly, "I need you to help me check on a werewolf named Mike Fuller—Emily Gibson's mate. I want to see the records of the mission where he supposedly sacrificed his life, as well as the recent activity on Emily's bank accounts."It was three days later when the information came through. In the mission where Mike hunted the Rogues, 9,650 Troy ounces of gold went missing, though it was eventually recovered. In the end, only a bloodied pack crest was found at the site, leading to the conclusion that Mike had been killed in action, though h

    I suddenly felt my phone buzzing in my pocket while I was sorting through my supplies following the severance of the mate bond. I noticed an unfamiliar number pop up on the screen, accompanied by a sharp crackle of static as I answered. I then heard Joey's raspy voice, saying, "A-Alpha Chris is in trouble, Selena." I went still as I held the phone, a chill spreading through my fingers.I was told that Chris had successfully apprehended a Rogue during patrol, but Emily's sudden appearance threw everything into chaos. She had stumbled onto the scene with something in her arms, crying out that the stranger was "a good person who knew her deceased Beta mate".She kept pulling at Chris to show him the item she was holding, and that brief distraction was all the Rogue needed to draw a dagger laced with wolfsbane and strike Chris directly in the chest.Joey spoke through tears, saying, "That dagger missed Alpha Chris' heart by less than a tenth of an inch! He's currently in surgery, wh

    Phoebe threw herself at me the moment Chris stopped talking. She grabbed my wrist with surprising strength for an old woman and pleaded, "Please give it a bit more time, Selena. Chris is just out of his mind right now. You've been together for so many years! You can't just throw that away!"Her tears splashed against my hand, their searing heat causing a wave of panic to rise within me.Jack stood nearby with bloodshot eyes. He looked as if he wanted to protest, but he eventually gave up and said, "It's over, so let's just leave it at this."Chris rose to his feet so quickly that he aggravated his injured shoulder. He grunted in pain but still grabbed his parents' arms and said, "You shouldn't try to talk me out of it anymore, Mom and Dad."He then spoke in a tone much lower than his everyday voice, devoid of any past warmth, with a harsh sense of certainty, "I'd like to sever our mate bond."I was stunned. I never would have thought that the Alpha, who was always so clingy and sw
