Chapter 3

Author: Alyssa J
Hearing his footsteps fade away, I dialed a number.

It rang only once before being answered. My eyes immediately reddened.

"Father, I know I was wrong. I regret becoming the Luna of Bloodclaw Pack. Please take me home..."

After arranging with my family to return home in five days, I finally collapsed in exhaustion.

My wolf had recognized Dominic as my fated mate from the moment we met.

When I fell for him, Father had warned me that Dominic wasn't suitable for me. If I insisted on mating him, I would be the only one who got hurt in the end.

I didn't believe it then.

I naively thought love could conquer everything.

And I believed that as long as I loved Dominic, everything could be overcome?

But after ten years, my passion for love had long been worn away by his coldness.

I looked down at my broken body and smiled bitterly.

I was exhausted.

While packing my things, something suddenly flashed through my mind.

In my previous life, there had been rogue wolves hiding around Aria's residence who killed dogs for their sick pleasure. It seemed to be a threat to Aria, making Dominic furious, and he thoroughly investigated that entire area.

Since I will leave, I might as well warn her.

Consider repaying the kindness she showed me earlier when she protected me and got hurt.

I wrapped my coat, covering the swelling on my face, and walked out.

As soon as I reached the same path, I saw Aria looking around anxiously.

I hesitated for a moment, then approached her.

"Aria, what are you looking for?"

Aria looked surprised to see me, then her expression deepened with worry.

"Oh, it's you. I'm looking for Steven, a new little dog who has recently arrived here. Several dogs have gone missing these past few days, including a lot who I knew. The food I leave out for them often goes untouched. I'm worried... I suspect there might be someone specifically targeting or... harming the dogs."

My heart sank slightly.

"Don't panic. I'll help you look for them."

Aria was stunned, then her face broke into a grateful smile.

"Really? That's wonderful! Thank you!"

Drawing on my vague memories from my previous life, I deliberately led Aria toward the abandoned valley at the western edge of the territory.

"I think my wolf hears something over there."

Aria immediately tensed up, holding her breath to listen carefully.

Just as we rounded a pile of broken concrete pipes, a piercing dog's cry reached our ears.

We both froze, following the sound.

We saw a filthy and stinking rogue wolf, wearing work clothes, crouched beside a torn burlap sack, gripping a gleaming silver knife in his hand.

Something was struggling violently inside the sack, and dark red blood had already soaked through the rough fabric, dripping onto the earth.

At his feet lay several motionless dog bodies, their forms twisted, clearly having suffered tremendous torture.

Aria's voice trembled uncontrollably.

"Stop! You bastard!"

The man was startled at being discovered, then his face twisted with extreme anger and viciousness.

He suddenly stood up, brandishing the blood-stained silver blade, and charged straight toward us.

"Meddling bitches! You're asking for death!"

    I thought about it carefully, savoring the memory, then smiled and returned his exact words."Who told you not to listen?"The phrase hung in the air between us, sharp as a blade."When you make mistakes, you have to bear the consequences."Dominic's face instantly turned deathly pale, all color draining from his features as if I had physically struck him.His body swayed unsteadily, and for a moment I thought he might collapse entirely.He knew I was determined to leave. The finality in my voice, the cold echo of his own cruelty thrown back at him—it left no room for hope or negotiation.But he wasn't willing to accept it!"Elena, please," he whispered, his voice barely audible. "I know I made mistakes. I know I hurt you. But I can change. I can be better. I can be the man you wanted me to be."He had only taken a small detour on the path of loving me, hadn't he? A few years of confusion, of being blinded by what he thought he wanted. How could that warrant a death sentence for their

    Father had resources that even Dominic couldn't imagine, connections built over decades of careful alliance-building. When he moved to retrieve me, it would be with overwhelming force.The feeling of cold shackles locked around my ankles wasn't pleasant.The metal was expensive, high-grade, designed specifically to weaken werewolves. It made my skin burn where it touched, and I could feel my natural healing abilities being suppressed.Dominic knelt half-way before me, his movements almost reverent as he secured the locks with a key he wore on a chain around his neck.There was something deeply disturbing about his gentleness, the way he handled the restraints as if they were precious jewelry he was bestowing upon me. His fingers lingered on my skin, tracing patterns that made my flesh crawl.He raised his head, trying to kiss me.The sight of his face approaching mine filled me with instant revulsion. This man who had tortured me, who had caused my death, who had destroyed everything I

    I wasn't sure. Love and obsession were hard to tell apart sometimes, especially when it came to Dominic.But I could be certain he couldn't live without me.Over ten years, I had infiltrated every aspect of his life. I knew his habits, his weaknesses, his fears. I had made myself indispensable in ways he didn't even realize.I waited to see him kneel down and cry, begging me to return.Looking at Aria outside the hospital room, worried and concerned, pacing back and forth in the hallway, I turned away and decided to fake my death and leave.With Father's help and considerable resources, I was soon reunited with my two pups.The moment I saw them again, safe and healthy in Father's secure compound, something inside me finally began to heal.Meeting their bright, shining eyes, their faces lighting up when they saw me, my nose stung with emotion."Mommy!" they cried, throwing themselves into my arms.As long as I had them, it was enough.After adjusting myself and recovering from my injur

    So small, now permanently attached there.He could no longer hear Aria's angry curses, his mind filled entirely with images of my face.Me tugging at his clothes, acting cute and coquettish, trying to make him smile.My sultry eyes when moved by passion, those rare moments when he had actually touched me with something approaching tenderness.Me cooking elaborate meals that he barely acknowledged.Me staying up all night when he was sick, bringing him medicine and cool cloths for his fever.But mostly, my eyes full of sadness and tears after he had blamed me for something, dismissed me, pushed me away yet again.And now, those eyes were forever frozen in that small photograph before him.They would never look at him so vividly again.Never light up when he entered a room, no matter how coldly he greeted me.Never fill with hope when he spoke my name.Never shed tears over his cruelty.The belated grief nearly suffocated him, a crushing weight on his chest that made breathing impossible

    "Aria, what is that?"But even as he asked, his gaze was fixed deadly on that white jade container, and somewhere deep in his chest, he already knew. His wolf had gone completely silent, as if it had retreated so far within him that it might never return.Hearing his voice, Aria slowly raised her head.Her beautiful face was gaunt, hollowed out by grief and guilt. Dark circles shadowed her eyes, and her usually perfect complexion was blotchy and pale.Seeing it was him, her red eyes, originally filled with sorrow, instantly blazed with undisguised disgust and hatred. The transformation was so complete, so violent, that Dominic actually stepped backward."Get lost."Her voice was raw, broken from crying, but the venom in it was unmistakable."A cold, hypocritical man like you would only pollute her sight even if you died in front of her! Get out!"The words made his blood run cold. This was Aria, the woman who had once looked at him with such love, such adoration. The woman who had smi

    Overwhelming fury instantly destroyed his rationality, nearly consuming him.But it wasn't regret for his own deception—rather, he felt this was all my revenge. I must have told her. I must have shown up here, planted these photos, destroyed his happiness out of pure spite.Dominic's face turned ashen, veins bulging at his temples as dark thoughts raced through his mind. How dare I do this? How dare I destroy what he had with Aria? This was exactly the kind of manipulative, vindictive behavior he'd expected from me.His hands shook as he yanked out his phone.He found the number he'd almost never actively dialed and pressed it viciously. My number. "Ring—ring—ring—"Busy signal. No answer.The electronic tone felt like mockery. I was probably screening his calls, probably sitting somewhere laughing at the chaos she'd created.He hung up and called again.Still busy.His grip on the phone tightened until his knuckles turned white. Rage burned through his entire body like wildfire. He
