Chapter 7

Author: Aurora
In the days that followed, my communicator didn't stop buzzing. Warriors and Elders from the Silver Moon Pack flooded my inbox, begging me to stay.

I rejected every single request and severed the connection crystal.

I had done enough for that pack. It was their Alpha who betrayed me first. I walked away with my head held high and my conscience clean.

On the day of my discharge, Damon invited me out to dinner to celebrate my recovery and my official induction into the Winterborn Pack.

To avoid causing mass panic, the Tyrant of the North did something unprecedented: he suppressed his terrifying S-Rank pressure. He wore a casual black trench coat and a runic choker designed to mask his scent and power entirely.

I understood why. If he walked around with his aura unchecked, every low-ranked wolf within ten miles would be forced to their knees. We wouldn't even be able to order appetizers.

I booked a private room in a high-security restaurant in the Black Market district.

  • He Rejected Marking Ceremony, I Upgraded Mate   Chapter 9

    I hadn't planned on holding the Marking Ceremony so soon.The Winterborn Pack was in the middle of a frantic expansion phase. In just three months, Damon had annexed three medium-sized packs surrounding our territory. The fires of war hadn't fully cooled.The Elders advised us to wait until the political landscape stabilized before hosting the ceremony, fearing that a public event might invite assassination attempts from rival factions.I agreed. As the First Commander, I had a mountain of post-war reconstruction work to deal with.But Damon had reached his limit.As my reputation as the "Iron Commander" spread across the continent, countless Alpha wolves from other packs began eyeing me, sending diplomatic requests for "alliances"—which was just code for marriage proposals.This made my possessive Tyrant completely lose his patience.Even when we were out inspecting the borders, he would stare at me with a look that said he wanted to devour me whole right then and there.Finally, on a

    Early the next morning, before I could even zip up my suitcase, the door to the private room was kicked open.A squad of warriors in silver armor, wearing the "Eye of Judgment" insignia on their chests, marched in.It was the Enforcement Squad of the Alpha Council—the highest governing body in the werewolf world.The lead Enforcer glared at me coldly and unfurled a parchment warrant."Selena, a formal accusation has been lodged with the Council. You are charged with harming an Alpha’s offspring and murdering a future Heir.""Come with us. A cell in the Silver Prison has already been cleared for you."My heart sank. Ivy was ruthless. She had used her connections within the Elders to pin a capital crime on me. Once you enter the Silver Prison, you don’t come out whole—if you come out at all.Just as the Enforcers moved to slap the mana-suppressing shackles on my wrists, my phone rang.It was Ethan.I answered. His voice, familiar and nauseating, dripped with a sickening kind of charity.

    The moment the post went live, the Silver Moon Pack’s communication channel exploded.[ Holy sh*t! That ring... isn't that Damon? The Alpha of the Winterborn Pack?! ][ Has Selena lost her mind? She defected to that maniac in the North? ][ That ring symbolizes ownership! She’s publicly declaring treason! ][ Ethan is going to kill her... ]I watched the notifications roll in. The same pack members who had mocked me for days were now panicking in the comments section. A wave of vindictive pleasure washed over me, and I set the phone down, satisfied."Done exploiting me? My Commander."A low, teasing voice rumbled right next to my ear.I looked up and locked eyes with Damon. His blue gaze was as deep as an abyss.He had obviously seen the post. But he wasn't angry. Instead, he idly twisted the signet ring on his thumb, leaning his body forward to invade my personal space with an overwhelming, predatory pressure."You have some nerve," he murmured, "using the Winterborn Alpha as your per

    Leaving Ethan with that look of stunned disbelief, I massaged my stinging wrist. I gave a curt nod to the former Alpha and Luna, who stood by the door wearing complicated expressions."Goodbye."I didn't look back at the chaos erupting inside the Pack House. I walked straight out into the night.The moment I stepped past the pack’s barrier wards, the injuries I had been suppressing came roaring back.When Ethan pushed me away, he used all his Alpha power. Right now, my body was burning with pain.If I had known it would hurt this much, I would have burned the last of my spiritual energy to shove those jade shards right down Ivy’s throat before I left.That was Ethan. Always the same.Whenever something happened, his fangs were always bared at me, while all his gentleness was reserved for that professional victim.Years ago, if Ivy tripped over her own feet on the training grounds, Ethan would scold me in front of the entire pack for being "jealous and aggressive."Eventually, I stopped

    In the fireplace of the safe house, flames greedily devoured a pile of old memories.There was the amulet I had spent three years carving from the fang of a Dire Wolf to protect Ethan.There was the dried Moonflower he had plucked for me the first time he took me hunting in the forest.And there was the battle journal where I had meticulously recorded every one of his dietary preferences and combat habits.I watched them turn to ash, and my heart remained perfectly still.The phone on the table buzzed. It was an encrypted email.It was from the Alpha of the Winterborn Pack himself: "Welcome to the pack, Commander Selena. The extraction team will arrive at the border at midnight."A new home. Since my rebirth, this was the only thing I had looked forward to.I stared at the firelight, checking my gear one last time, ready to embrace my new life.But my peace was once again interrupted. I suddenly received a message from Ethan’s parents. Alright, they were back from their diplomatic pat
