Chapter 3

작가: No More Waiting
I stared at Holden in disbelief. Was this cold, ruthless wolf really the brother I'd grown up with?

He ignored my gaze. His scent carried a command I couldn't resist, weighing down on me.

"I'll count to three." His voice echoed across the empty altar.

"One."

I shook my head frantically as tears streamed down. "Please, Holden. I really can't shift…"

"Two."

I felt a dead emptiness inside. That place used to be the warm home for my wolf spirit.

I tried to call it, but only hollow echoes answered.

"Three."

Time was up.

Holden stepped forward and stomped on the back of my hand.

"Ah!" I screamed in pain.

"Seems you really forgot how to be a proper wolf," he said, crouching and gripping my chin.

"If that's the case, this shell of yours is useless."

His fingers turned into sharp claws, glinting in the cold light.

"Stop!"

Arman Meyer, who had been leaning on his cane, rushed forward. He was the pack's healer. "Alpha Holden, what are you doing?"

"Get lost, Arman," Holden said. His voice was dripping with lethal intent.

"Look at her body! Do you even know what she endured in prison?" Arman pulled back my shirt, revealing the scars crisscrossing my skin.

The new scars were layered over the old marks, looking jagged and terrifying.

Holden paused.

"So what? She deserves it," he said coldly. "She shouldn't have seduced me. She shouldn't have made the pack Alpha have those disgusting dreams."

So that was the reason he despised me. He had fallen for me first!

The ridiculous part was that it wasn't me he hated. He despised the timid, cowardly version of himself that couldn't face love!

At that moment, I regretted having loved him.

Arman trembled with anger. "She's lost her wolf spirit! She's permanently become a worthless wolf, lower than an Omega! Is this the punishment you wanted?"

He grabbed my wrist and brought Holden's hand to feel my pulse. "Feel it yourself! Her life force is weaker than a human baby's. If you hurt her again, she'll die!"

The moment Holden's fingers brushed my skin, he froze.

The vibrant pulse that a wolf should have was missing. There was only a cold, lifeless silence.

He yanked his hand back sharply, muttering, "How could this be…"

Arman stared him down. "Alpha Holden, Anria was only 15 three years ago. You should have shown mercy to her innocent awakening in love, not let others destroy her completely!"

"Shut up!" Holden snapped, unable to face it.

He turned away, refusing to look at me again. "Take her away and heal her. Don't let her die in front of me."

Arman lifted me gently and carried me to the healing center.

I lay in bed, unable to speak.

Holden didn't appear again, and I sank into a long dream.

In it, it was still just me and the Holden of the past, running and rolling across the grass.

With grass clinging to our noses, we stared into each other's eyes and promised we'd be together forever.

As I dreamed on, tears slipped silently from my eyes.

I felt a rough finger brush across my cheek, followed by a resigned sigh. "Anria, what am I supposed to do with you?"

I snapped awake, yet no one was there. Only a warm box of honey hazelnut tarts sat on the table beside my bed.

In the entire pack, only one wolf knew how to make this flavor of tarts—Holden.

  • I Did Time, My Alpha Brother Did Me Wrong   Chapter 9

    didn't know how long Holden kneeled under the waterfall.All I knew was that from that day on, the Alpha of the Silvermoon pack was never the same.He dismissed all his attendants and locked himself in the small room that used to be mine.He became quiet and violent, yet he would howl at the moon in anguish during the dead of night.His wolf spirit was weakened by his regret and torment.Holden had lost it.The entire werewolf world was buzzing with rumors that the Alpha of the Silvermoon pack had gone mad after losing his most cherished possession.A month later, the Silvermoon pack held an emergency meeting. All the wolves gathered at the altar in the valley.Holden appeared in white clothing. His face was as pale as paper. His eyes were hollow, like those of a walking corpse.He stepped up to the high platform, and his voice echoed in the minds of every wolf in the pack through their mind-link."I, Holden Grant, Alpha of the Silvermoon pack, am going to confess my sins to

  • I Did Time, My Alpha Brother Did Me Wrong   Chapter 8

    When Holden found Swelina, she was lounging in the garden. She basked in the sun while enjoying the attention of her attendants.The moment she saw Holden, she immediately flashed a sweet smile and approached him. "Holden, you're here."Holden didn't speak. He simply looked at her with an expression she had never seen before.There was no love or anger in his gaze—only a deep, hollow emptiness."Where is Anria?" he asked.Swelina's smile froze. "I-I don't know. Didn't she escape?""You rolled down the stairs yourself," Holden said flatly. His tone was chilling enough to be terrifying. "You took the herbs and pretended she attacked you."Swelina's face turned ashen. "No… that's not true! Holden, please listen to me! It was her! She was jealous that I was carrying your pup!""Enough." Holden interrupted her and threw the blood-stained report in her face."I gave you the chance to be a Luna and gave you the highest honor and power. This is how you repay me? Why do you hate Anria

    Gamma Edwin George worked quickly.Three days later, a detailed investigation report was placed on Holden's desk.His hands trembled as he flipped open the first page.The report was long and filled with irrefutable evidence.That morning, after he left the room, Swelina had called in the pack's healer to check on her body.The healer's statement was clear. Swelina and the pup inside her were perfectly fine. They bore no signs of being attacked.She had only taken a herb that had caused false contractions, which posed no harm to the pup but created the illusion of abdominal pain.Holden's breath grew shallow as he continued reading.The next part, the truth from three years ago, took his breath away.Edwin had located an Omega maid who was present at the time.The Omega had remained silent out of fear until Edwin had promised her safety.The maid revealed that, three years ago, she had been ordered by Swelina to spy on Anria and steal her diary to hand it over to her.The r

  • I Did Time, My Alpha Brother Did Me Wrong   Chapter 6

    I didn't resist. Or rather, I had given up on resisting.Holden wanted me back in the juvenile wolf prison? Fine by me. I could use that opportunity to settle some scores.The warriors shoved me roughly down the long corridor.The wolves who had been shocked by my newfound power just moments ago were now pointing at me again. Their gazes were filled with disdain and malicious glee."Look, that monster is being sent back to prison again. She just got out.""Serves her right! She actually dared attack our future Luna and the heir!"They threw me into a closed prisoner transport vehicle. The car bounced as it drove toward my deepest nightmare.The juvenile wolf prison was built on the barren, frozen lands of the north. It was the forbidden ground for all wolves.It housed those deemed impure, mentally unstable, or guilty of serious crimes.The warden here was a mad wolf who enjoyed tormenting his kind.The door opened, and I was thrown out onto the ground.Priest, the head ward

  • I Did Time, My Alpha Brother Did Me Wrong   Chapter 5

    The entire pack fell silent. Every wolf stared with mouths agape at the impossible sight before them.Soon, a voice whispered from the crowd, "I remember that only pups born to humans and Alphas are white. That means she could become the world's strongest half-wolf Alpha…""No way!" another voice shot back. "Anria can't be a half-wolf Alpha!"I didn't pay attention to their chatter. Under Sophie's guidance, I slowly embraced the power that came with my bloodline.Even I was astonished.By the time I mastered shifting smoothly between wolf and human forms, Holden had been watching me with a tense expression for a long time.He stepped closer. Each movement was measured, as if he were testing the waters. "Anria, our parents were pureblood wolves. Their fur was as black as obsidian. How could you…""That's because she's the child of your father's friend, the Alpha of another pack, and a human woman!" Arman stepped forward from the crowd with a serious expression."Alpha Holden, An

  • I Did Time, My Alpha Brother Did Me Wrong   Chapter 4

    After I was discharged, Swelina had Beta Josh Harrell escort me back to Holden's villa.My room had been moved back to a small bedroom on the second floor, but I didn't have the energy to notice if anything had truly improved.I sank into long, endless dreams. Since Holden wouldn't let me leave, this was the only way I could return to the past.That night, I woke up with no sleep from napping all day and met Holden's gaze.He frowned at me, but there was a mix of tenderness and worry in his eyes."You're awake?" He crouched, gripping my face with a force that hurt."It's been three years, and you've made no progress. All you do is cry and act pitiful. What else can you do?"I lowered my eyes, saying nothing.The tenderness and worry I'd glimpsed before had been a lie.Holden's patience snapped. "Swelina told me that you and Arman planned everything that day. You had him say you'd lost your wolf spirit and become a worthless wolf, lower than an Omega, just to make me pity you a
