Chapter 4

Author: Ginger
Darren hadn't expected me to stay away, let alone ignore every one of his messages.

Fiona's crying grated on him, stoking the anger in his chest.

He stormed into my apartment, met only by pitch darkness and an eerie silence.

He flipped on the light. On the table sat the house keys, the pre-wedding photos from the studio, and the receipt from the restaurant.

"Zoey?"

Darren called out. He figured I was just sulking and couldn't possibly have left without a trace.

"Quit hiding. This isn't funny."

  • I Got Freedom After Fulfilling Myself   Chapter 9

    Fiona cried until she nearly fainted, but Darren didn't reach out to steady her.They watched helplessly as I completed the wedding ceremony and put on the crown my father passed down to me, the symbol of the Alpha's authority.Darren didn't give up. He kept appearing outside my pack for days."Zoey, I truly regret everything. Even if you have a mate now, that bond can be broken. We could...""Stop it. I don't love you anymore.""My love for you died a little more each time you chose to believe Fiona over me."He stood there, stunned, finally understanding that the Zoey who had always seemed to need others was perfectly capable of making her own decisions.He was seeing the real me for the first time. But it was too late.Darren left. Alone, without Fiona.And on the same day he left, my father banished Fiona from the pack."Our pack has no place for a schemer."Later, I heard from an old friend that after her banishment, Fiona had gone to find Darren.She begged him to let her stay by

    Darren lingered, believing time would buy my forgiveness. I had no intention of giving him any.The wedding was grand.Dressed in a crystal-covered gown, I stood arm in arm with my mate as we completed the lavish ceremony beneath the Moon Goddess's gaze.Darren tried to push through the crowd several times, but my father's guards kept him outside."Zoey! Do you really not love me anymore? Have you forgotten everything we had? Please don't marry him!"I didn't spare him a single glance.But then Fiona appeared, her hair a mess, her usual polished makeup gone."Zoey!"I refused to deal with her, but she lunged forward, grabbing my wrist."Zoey, look how much Darren is suffering! How can you just throw him away?"I shook her hand off. "What? I don't even have the right to walk away from him?"She froze. "Do I have no say when you're around, Fiona?" I asked quietly. "Do I need your permission to leave a man?"The color drained from Fiona's face."That's not what I meant.""Then what did yo

    On the day I returned to the pack, my father held a grand welcoming ceremony."Zoey, don't leave again. I want you to stay and take your place as Alpha."I agreed."If you don't like the men I introduce you to, you can find someone on your own. I won't interfere.""Father, I never disliked any of them."My father froze. "But Fiona said..."Before he could finish, he understood."I thought you were the one rejecting every man I chose. Since you're willing, I'll find the best mate for you as soon as possible."I said yes.Being back with my father, back in the pack where I'd grown up, I finally felt like myself again.No one here would limit my freedom or control who I saw.No one would grab my food or water before I could, claiming it was for my health when really they just didn't want me to have it.My father moved quickly. He chose the finest man in the Celestial Pack, his own Beta.One look, and I knew. This was the fated mate I had been searching for.The night before my wedding, Da

    Fiona couldn't stop him.Soon the floor was covered in shattered glass, and the photos were ripped to shreds."Darren, calm down. Those photos turned out so well. The studio even kept some for display...""But you're not my fiancée!"Her mention of the display jolted his memory. He grabbed Fiona and dragged her straight to the studio, demanding that the display photos be taken down."Tell them! Tell them we're not a couple!"Fiona's eyes were red. Darren had always valued her. He had never treated her this roughly before."Say it!"She flinched and stammered out the truth to the staff.Terrified by Darren's fury, the staff removed the photos immediately.But then Fiona smiled."Regretting it now? You enjoyed every second of that pre-wedding photo shoot with me, didn't you? You even kissed my foot.""Shut up!"Darren bared his claws at Fiona, but she wasn't afraid. Her smile only grew wider."When everyone mistook me for your fiancée, you never corrected them. You played along. You even

    Darren spent the entire night at the airport. At dawn, he sought out the pack's healer and asked about wolfsbane."Can she really recover from wolfsbane that quickly?"The healer nodded. "Don't underestimate her ability to recover. Her body is far stronger than an ordinary werewolf's. It can easily eliminate a nonlethal dose of wolfsbane.""So... there was never any reason to restrict what she did?""Of course not.""And there's no long recovery period?"The healer had no intention of repeating himself. He just looked up at Darren as if he were an idiot."Darren, I have no reason to lie to you. From what you're describing, her body is even stronger than yours."Darren sat there, suddenly unable to speak.As the daughter of the Celestial Pack's Alpha, I was a higher-ranking werewolf, born with greater physical strength than ordinary werewolves.I had told him a thousand times. His answer was always the same:"Listen to your sister. She would never hurt you."He closed his eyes as past m

All my clothes were gone.Darren spun around. The corner where my suitcase always sat was bare too.Except for the lingering trace of my scent, the entire room looked as though I'd never lived there.He sank onto the bed and noticed a health report under the bedside lamp.It read: Bloodwork normal. No toxins detected. Meets health standards for an adult female wolf.Beneath the report were a few photographs of men Darren didn't recognize
