Chapter 9

Author: Jojo
I guessed August must have promised Hailey he would save her child. That was probably why she had fought so desperately for him.

I was well aware of Ryder's methods. After swallowing so many gemstones and being tortured to the brink of death, Hailey surely wouldn't live much longer. But she must have wanted her pup to survive.

To outsiders, Ryder seemed cold and ruthless, but I knew he would never allow Darren or me to be hurt in any way. My injury this time must have made him feel terribly guilty.

Anna had described Ryder and Darren as devils, but I didn't find them frightening at all. Everything that had happened was simply August and the others reaping what they had sown.

I had given them a chance. They were the ones who had thrown it away.

Still, I couldn't help but worry. Darren was so young. I pondered whether being raised with such a mindset would have a psychological effect on him.

I was about to say something more to Anna when the treatment room suddenly burst open. Ryde

  • I Was Not a Nobody   Chapter 10

    August's face was still badly swollen.I stared at him warily. "How did you find this place? What do you want?"For him to evade so many of Ryder's pack members and track me down here, he must've gone to great lengths. The image of Hailey's deranged expression flashed through my mind, and my heart clenched tight in alarm.August seemed to sense my fear and quickly spoke up, "Sophia, don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. I just…"I took two steps back, feeling irritated. "Just what?""Sophia, the truth is… the one I've always loved is you. Every time I think about you being with another werewolf, having his pup… it feels like my heart is being ripped apart. "I know you love me, too. Come with me. Let's run away. Let's go somewhere no one knows us and start over."August was covered in wounds, but it was obvious he had dressed carefully before coming to see me. He was even wearing the suit I had once gifted him.But I remembered clearly that back then, he'd said the suit looked che

  • I Was Not a Nobody   Chapter 8

    August hadn't expected me to treat him like air, as if he didn't even exist.He watched the tender scene of the three of us, a true family, his eyes burning red with jealousy.Just as he tried to step closer to me, Darren moved in front of me protectively, glaring up at him. "Stay away from my mommy!"You actually had the nerve to ask her to be a caretaker? My mommy is a queen at home. Who do you think you are?"I know what you've done. You're not just the jerk who broke her heart. You've even got a secret pup. My mommy only has me and my younger sister. Your pup doesn't get to be part of her family."A Beta like you aren't even worthy of polishing my daddy's shoes. You're not as handsome, not as rich, and definitely not as good to my mommy."Darren gave August a look of pure disgust, eyeing him from head to toe before stomping hard on his foot."That jealous, twisted sneer on your face is disgusting. I don't even know how you have the nerve to keep living in this world. What's

    Meeting their eyes, my heart instantly softened. "Alright, stop scaring the healer. There's still more treatment to be done."At my words, the healer visibly relaxed.After carefully checking me over and confirming there was nothing serious, he respectfully reported, "Alpha Ryder, the Luna only suffered some superficial wounds. Her pup is unharmed and doing well."I'll apply the finest herbs to the Luna's hand. There won't be even the slightest scar."Ryder's gaze darkened as he gave a small nod. I knew he was doing everything he could to keep his fury under control.As the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, August, the one responsible for all this, swallowed hard. He had never imagined that the she-wolf he once saw as worthless would one day become someone he'd have to curry favor with.Watching the closeness between Ryder and me, a wave of unwillingness surged in his chest. The possessiveness he had long buried now began to surface.But he had no right to challenge the werewo

  • I Was Not a Nobody   Chapter 6

    The group who had once humiliated me alongside August broke into a cold sweat the moment they heard those words, their faces turning pale.They never imagined that the pathetic simp they had mocked was actually Ryder's mate. In that instant, fear and regret surged through them.But I was wearing the one-and-only bracelet, and I had already acknowledged my mate bond with Ryder. They were the ones who were blind and arrogant beyond belief.I saw them hunch over, trying to avoid attention as if they could sneak away unnoticed.Hailey's friend, Lucy White, suddenly spoke up loudly. "Sophia, where'd you dig up these two actors? Not bad at all. Should we have Hailey recommend them to the entertainment industry?"You're so broke you can't even afford a decent outfit. Don't tell me you spent all your money hiring them?"At least try to make it look convincing! I've got a dress I've only worn once. How about I give it to you? That way, your little show won't look so pathetic. It makes peo

  • I Was Not a Nobody   Chapter 5

    Ryder, known for his cold and decisive demeanor, showed a rare hint of warmth the moment he saw me. A faint but unmistakable smile touched his lips.Darren threw himself into my arms, but the moment he noticed the blood on my hand, his expression shifted with concern. "Mommy, what happened to your hand? Did someone hurt you?"The moment he called me Mommy, the room fell silent. I heard a collective gasp as everyone turned to look. The guests who had just moments ago been sneering and watching me with disdain now stared in stunned disbelief.Darren always had a way of sensing when something was wrong with me, just like Ryder. His concern warmed my heart, instantly sweeping away the gloom I'd been carrying.I pulled him close, pressing a gentle kiss to his soft cheek. "I'm fine."But Darren carefully lifted my hand, his face full of worry, and gently blew on the injured spot. His eyes were starting to mist over. "How can you be fine? Mommy, tell me. Who dared to hurt you?"Even t
