I Chose the Alpha Who Could Hear My Thoughts

Mira looped her arm around Ronan, pressing herself against him.“Ronan,” her voice was sickly sweet, “mark me.”She tilted her head toward me, a smirk curling on her lips.“Someone like Lyra—”“She doesn’t even deserve to stand beside you.”I met her gaze, calm and silent.Mira suddenly grabbed my wrist and yanked it up.The scar—raw and unmistakable—was exposed to everyone.“See this?” she laughed. “She took that for me.”“So,” she leaned closer into Ronan,“a woman with scars—how is she supposed to be your mate?”Ronan chuckled. “I don’t like flaws.”A faint smile tugged at my lips.In my last life, Ronan only rose to Alpha because I cleared every path for him.Too bad I learned too late—I was nothing but a flaw to him.They kissed right in front of me, shameless and slow.Ronan’s fingers traced the back of her hand, his gaze drifting down her body.【What a stupid little thing. Easy to play.】My pupils tightened.That voice—It was his.I lowered my voice immediately.“What did I ju

The door opened, and a man stood there.I was still trying to tell—was it Kael, or Ronan—He spoke first.“Lyra, tomorrow is our marking ceremony. Are you ready?”The moment I wondered why he suddenly sounded so warm, his thoughts slipped straight into my mind.【Lyra… tonight, I’ll take you first. Let Kael choke on it.】【She’s getting marked by him tomorrow anyway. If I don’t touch her tonight, I’ll lose the chance.】A cold smile flickered inside me.So it’s you.He didn’t know—I couldn’t hear Kael’s thoughts at all.Before I could react, his hand was already at my waist, pulling me toward him with a firm tug.Just like last time.I forced the panic down. I knew I couldn’t break free by strength alone.I swallowed the disgust and let my posture soften—becoming Mira.My voice turned light. “Kael? I… I’m Mira.”Ronan froze for a second, instinctively letting go.“Mira?”I kept going, mimicking her tone.“Lyra stepped out. I’m helping her pack.”He looked at me, suspicion flickering.I s

In full view of the stunned crowd, Kael lowered his head and marked me at the side of my neck.The Alpha’s scent wrapped around me instantly. I felt a faint, numbing shock.Mira snapped.“Lyra! Who gave you permission to be marked by Kael!?”She lunged forward, only to be stopped halfway by several pack guards.She struggled, eyes bloodshot. “Let me go! That position is mine!”In my last life, Kael never marked her.He never even touched her.And now, this scene in front of her shattered her completely.The guests around us began whispering, some already sneering.“Isn’t Mira Ronan’s mate? What is she freaking out for?”Ronan’s gaze snapped toward Mira, fury burning in his eyes.【Stupid bitch. I’ll deal with you when we get back.】I stood still, listening.Night fell.I followed Kael to the Alpha’s residence.I stood quietly in the room and fed the fire in the hearth.Warmth spread through the space almost instantly.After that, I made up a place for myself on the couch, preparing to s

Kael took me to the borderlands.Along the way, I kept trying to hear his thoughts.But there was nothing.Of course. He stood at the very top. How could I possibly reach his mind?Standing at the border, the land stretched out endlessly, barren and vast.I stood beside him, watching the distant wolf packs roam the plains.Suddenly, one of his guards barked a warning.We turned. A cloaked woman was approaching.Kael gave a slight signal.The guards stepped aside.She was a witch, her fingers gripping a slender glass vial.Inside, a pale green liquid shimmered.“I heard Alpha has been searching for a cure to silver poison.”She lowered her voice. “This one vial can neutralize any silver toxin.”Kael tilted his head slightly. A guard immediately brought forward an Omega afflicted with silver poison.His complexion was ashen, breathing ragged, his wolf nature on the verge of collapse.The witch dripped a single drop into his mouth.The next second, he gasped sharply.Color rushed back to

I opened the door. Ronan was standing there again.“Luna, my compound is ready. I’d like to invite you and the Alpha to try it tonight.”I paused slightly. “When?”As he spoke, his gaze had already fallen on the box on the table behind me.Inside it was the so-called “antidote” Kael and I had bought from the witch.Only Kael and I knew it could only suppress the poison temporarily.But across the entire southern territory, everyone believed it could cure it.Ronan’s eyes slowly turned greedy.I stepped aside. “Come in and talk.”He walked in and sat down.We exchanged a few casual words, then I deliberately knocked over a glass of water.“I’ll go change.”“Of course, Luna.”I stood in the inner room.Through the crack in the door, I watched him take out an identical vial from his coat.With swift movements, he replaced the one in the box.I smiled faintly.Then I walked back out.Ronan had already stood up.“I won’t disturb you. See you tonight.”“Alright.”【Kael, your antidote is in m
