Chapter 3

Author: Rani M
I could see the challenge in Sherry's eyes.

"She-wolves from the countryside are so uncivilized." She turned her nose up at me as she studied me. "You've got no parents or siblings. If Richard and Talia hadn't formed a family unit to protect you, all your wealth would've been stolen away."

I smiled mockingly. "Exceptional female healers are a dime a dozen. I always thought you were someone worth respecting. Turns out, you're just another mate-stealing she-wolf."

Talia stumbled back and sat down, clutching at her chest.

Before Sherry could respond, the silent Leo suddenly leaped out of my arms and clung to Talia's leg. He bared his teeth at me.

"Jenny, you just got home and already made Mom upset. She looks really hurt. And now, you're insulting Sherry too. You're the one who told me it's wrong to insult others. Apologize now! If you keep talking like that, I'll get my brother to kick you out!"

Sherry's words didn't faze me, but seeing Leo crouched and poised to attack felt like a gut punch.

Talia was old and in poor health when she was pregnant with him. When her pup was born, he was small and sickly. Thus, Leo was a wolf cub with congenital defects.

I've looked after him like he was my son from the moment he was born.

For the past three years, I cooked for him and clothed him. I took care of everything.

I even enrolled him in the best private beginner's academy for wolf cubs, which cost 5,000 dollars a month. But I didn't care—every sacrifice for the family was worth it.

I raised him with great care for three years. I gave him everything I could to make him seem no different from other wolf cubs. But it seemed I may have spoiled him rotten.

I bent down and looked Leo in the eye. "I pay for everything you eat, wear, and use. And now you're kicking me out?"

He didn't hesitate to nod. "That's because you upset Mom and made her angry! It's not like I asked you to buy me food and clothes! Mom and Sherry are both good people!"

At that moment, it felt like my heart had been torn apart. I thought all my sacrifices would at least be met with some gratitude and understanding. But now, I was left completely disillusioned.

Leo pressed, "Hurry up and apologize. I'm starving. The antelope tastes especially good today."

Talia stood there with her arms crossed and her chin held high. She was waiting for me to apologize so she could put me in my place.

After all, whenever conflicts arose in the past three years, I would always listen to Leo and let things slide.

I sneered and turned to leave.

"Where are you going?" Drew asked.

I ignored the questions behind me and headed straight to the best beauty salon for the full VIP treatment.

I would rather look my best than stay there and allow them to trample over my dignity.

The thousands of dollars spent there left me completely refreshed.

I spent that time sorting out my thoughts. I decided I wanted to break things off with Drew!

But when I got home, I discovered the password on the residence's door lock had been changed.

I couldn't even enter my own home. They had locked me out!

I stood outside the door, my gaze fixed on the frigid electronic lock. I extended my claws.

The smart system began to sound the alarm.

"What's going on?" Lights flickered on in an instant. Everyone came rushing downstairs in a panic, only to see me standing in the middle of the living room.

"Are you insane, Jenny? Why are you attacking my home?" Drew demanded furiously.

Sherry, on the other hand, eagerly pushed me. "Get out of my house, bitch!"

My wolf howled in my mind, consumed by rage.

Before I even realized what I was doing, my claws were out. I landed a heavy blow on Sherry.

Sherry let out a sharp cry and staggered back into Drew's arms.

Drew instinctively shielded her and glared at me. Sherry's wound had already healed.

"You're crazy! Don't force my hand, Jenny!"

"You left me for three years. And the first thing you do when you return is to welcome a bitch to carve up my home—my hard-earned life?"

"This isn't your home!" Talia suddenly screeched. "We already made it clear that this place belongs to your brother and his wife now! You can go wherever you want! Stop acting like a mad wolf!"

These were the so-called "family" I once cared for and devoted myself to. A cold feeling crept into my heart.

I took a deep breath and looked at the people who depended on me for survival.

"You want me gone? Fine. I'll do as you wish!" I sneered.

  • Left the Marriage, Leveled Up   Chapter 6

    "I once financially supported Richard, Talia, and Leo. That support included daily expenses, healthcare, education, and housing. It amounted to 644 thousand dollars. I demand a full reimbursement and request to break my mate bond with Drew Bruce. I also ask to suspend any rights the Bruce family holds over my assets."The jury was in an uproar the moment the words left me.Talia shot to her feet, her voice shrill. "You're trying to bankrupt the entire family! You're ruthless! You have no heart!"The color drained from Drew's face. "Can't you cut me some slack, Jenny? I admit… We've made a lot of mistakes. But you said it yourself. We're fated mates!""That was when your wolf was still intact." I looked up at him, my voice tinged with ice. "You admitted it yourself. Your wolf is gone, and your feelings have changed. This bond no longer needs to exist."Talia sneered. "You're a she-wolf. Are you turning your back on us now that you've gained some notoriety? We never forced you to do

    I hesitated for a moment, my finger hovering over the screen for a long while before I finally picked up the call."Jenny…" I could hear the slight tremor in Leo's voice as it came through the receiver.I said nothing.I had single-handedly raised the three-year-old pup and shouldered the cost of baby formula. My friends all advised me to walk away from the Bruce family's mess.It was not as if I never wavered.My family was wiped out during an enemy attack back when I was still a child. My parents and brother shielded me with their bodies to ensure my survival. After that bloody massacre, I desperately longed for a home.So, when my wolf awakened and recognized Drew, I didn't hesitate to form a mate bond with him, even though he had nothing to his name.I naively believed that hard work alone would improve this family.Instead, he rushed to the battlefield on the day of our wedding and vanished for three years.Then, Leo came along. He used to be a pup who could make everyone

  • Left the Marriage, Leveled Up   Chapter 4

    I turned on my heel and left the residence.As I stepped out the door, I pulled out my phone and dialed Noah Law Firm, the most prestigious legal team in the Southern region. The law firm was also one of the organizations I had quietly funded in the past."This is Jenny Watson," I said calmly but clearly. "I'm invoking the property protection clause. I intend to also file a lawsuit to recover the expenditures and assets I've invested in Drew's family."The account should cover proof of property ownership, educational expenses, living costs, and medical bills. And most important of all, the title deed to the mansion."The mansion was once my parents' home. I was determined to take it back.The voice on the phone readily agreed. "Understood, Ms. Watson. The house is your premarital asset. The Bruce family are simply tenants. If you request it, they must vacate the premises. We'll get you everything that's rightfully yours."Richard, Talia, Leo, and even Drew, who always mouthed off

    My wolf was furious.I took a deep breath to fight back the howl threatening to escape me.Judging by Drew's behavior, he had no idea that during his three-year absence, he ended up with a younger brother who constantly needed financial support. His name was Leo Bruce.I stared at Drew. "You've never truly understood all I've done for you. Do you know—"A flicker of impatience crossed his eyes as he cut me off. "Haven't I already thanked you enough for everything you've done? Right now, I want to be with Sherry. She's the one who matters most to me."I looked into his eyes as the crushing weight of betrayal came over me. "You've never truly valued the bond we shared, Drew."I forced myself to calm down. Drew told me all that while I was out submitting Leo's enrollment form for the Intermediate Wolf Cub Academy.He didn't seem to know that the residence Richard and Talia lived in was mine.I watched him walk away, but I didn't go home immediately. Instead, I headed straight to t

  • Left the Marriage, Leveled Up   Chapter 1

    My mate, Drew Bruce, had been missing for three years, and I exhausted my wealth to care for his parents. When he returned, there was an Omega she-wolf by his side. He wanted to break our mate bond for her."Jenny, I've already spoken with the Alpha King about breaking our bond. He said he'd think about it, but I'll make sure he agrees," Drew said.My hands were clenched underneath my sleeves. However, I kept myself composed."Since the war began, only the vulnerable remain in our pack. If Sherry is truly the kind-hearted, skilled physiotherapist you claim she is, why isn’t she out there saving lives instead of tearing our family apart?" I shot back.A spark of anger flashed in Drew's eyes."No, Sherry never asked anything of me. I'm the one who wants to end things with you."I didn't move a muscle. "Does Sherry know that she's the other she-wolf?"Drew frowned. "Why are you being so rude?"What do you mean by 'the other she-wolf?' I've spent my last three years by her side. We
