Synopsis

Tragic Love

Alpha

Bias

Winning Back the Wife

Countdown

Regret

During our mating ceremony, my Alpha, Harrison Talbot, tells me to cover my eyes, promising a surprise. When I open them, I see him placing the Moon Crown, symbolizing the Luna of the pack, onto his childhood friend, Selena Rothbart's head. Thousands of werewolves around us erupt in cheers. Only my brother, Cedric Redclaw, stands by with a grim expression on his face. My mind goes completely blank. Just as I'm about to demand an explanation, Harrison wraps an arm around my waist and sighs. "Chloe, Selena and I made a bet last night. We bet that you'd notice the names on the mating contract had been changed to hers and mine before the ceremony began, but you were so focused on me that you didn't even see it." Selena flashes a brazen, triumphant smile at me with the Moon Crown on her head. "Sorry, Chloe! Alpha Harrison lost the bet, and according to the terms, this mating ceremony belongs to me now." Harrison offers a helpless, indulgent smile and says to me, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, "It's just for a day, to let Selena have the experience of being Luna of the pack. I'll hold another ceremony for you during the next full moon. "You've always been sensible and reasonable. You don't mind, do you?" The whole situation strikes me as utterly absurd as I watch them standing next to each other. For five years, Harrison has made a habit of using me as the wager for his bets. Time and time again, he pushes my boundaries, testing exactly how much I will endure for his sake. Today marks the 99th time he's wagered my love—and it will be the last. I take a deep breath and hurl my bouquet at Harrison's feet. "If the ceremony belongs to her, then I don't want you as my mate anymore either!"

Chapter 1
With that, I turned to leave.My fated mate, Harrison Talbot, grabbed my wrist, his eyes filled with impatience. He exclaimed, "That's enough, Chloe Redclaw! The whole pack is watching! Must you throw a tantrum over something this trivial?"I yanked my arm away and looked him straight in the eye."You call this trivial? Today was supposed to be my mating ceremony!"Seeing the fury in my eyes, Harrison hesitated and replied, "There's no need for you to feel so insecure. Selena just wants to pretend to be the Luna for a while."Once the ceremony ends tonight, she'll return the Moon Crown to me, and I'll still bite your neck to complete our mating bond."Selena let out a soft, derisive huff when she saw my expressionless face."Oh, stop the act, Chloe. You also threatened to break up with Alpha Harrison when we made a bet and left you alone in the Black Forest last month. And what happened next? You were already brewing a soothing herbal tea the next day, bringing it to us as a pea

Petunia didn't speak loudly, but her voice carried across the entire venue.Selena lowered her head, feigning shyness as she said, "Please don't say that, Mrs. Talbot. Chloe has already lost this ceremony to me. Hearing you praise me like this will only make her feel worse."She pretended to be concerned, though her tone was dripping with smugness.Petunia snorted coldly, her gaze raking over me with undisguised disgust. "Feel worse? If she wants to be the Luna of the Shadowline pack but can't even handle a few words like these, how could she possibly assist Harrison in managing the entire pack?"She patted the back of Selena's hand, her tone filled with blatant favoritism. "Selena, I've always held you in high regard. You have a generous nature and formidable combat strength, unlike Chloe, a good-for-nothing Omega who just fiddles around with a few pathetic herbs in her spare time."And she's so narrow-minded too! The slightest thing always sets her off, throwing the whole pack i

I dialed the number of the ceremony planner, Jaxon Blackwood."Hello, this is Chloe. Since there's been a last-minute change regarding Alpha Harrison's mate for today's mating ceremony, I refuse to pay the remaining balance for the event."There was a silence on the other end for several seconds before Jaxon asked, sounding puzzled, "But Ms. Redclaw, could you be mistaken? Alpha Harrison has already settled the remaining balance of 300 thousand dollars using your joint account at 8:00 pm last night."300 thousand dollars?Blood rushed to my head in that instant. I stared at Harrison in disbelief.With trembling fingers, I checked my account balance and saw that I only had three cents remaining. My vision went dark, and I nearly toppled off the platform.That 300 thousand dollars was money I had earned myself, saved through my own hard labor, selling medicinal herbs to treat the sick and injured all day and night. I had planned to use it to open my own little herbal shop in the pa

The situation continued to spiral out of control. Harrison caught sight of my reddened eyes, turned away, visibly agitated, and fell silent.Selena approached with an air of haughty superiority, her eyes brimming with contempt toward Cedric and me."I already said we'd hold a make-up ceremony for Chloe next month. What more do you want from us?"She lifted her chin, her voice sharp and piercing as she continued, "If you keep causing a scene here, don't blame me for having the warriors throw you out immediately!"At that moment, veins bulged on the back of Cedric's hands, and his chest heaved violently. Unable to contain his rage any longer, he stepped forward and gave her a hard shove.The sheer force sent Selena screaming as she crashed to the ground.Cedric growled, "You'd better wipe that disgusting look off your face. I will never let Chloe stay here a moment longer, even if you were to get down on your knees and beg us to stay!"Selena lay on the floor, tears welling in her

As we stepped out of the venue for the mating ceremony, Cedric asked, sounding a bit hesitant, "Chloe, are you sure about this? Are you sure you won't regret it?"I didn't slow my pace, answering with firm resolve, "Of course not. My only regret is not leaving that scumbag sooner."I pulled up a secret file on my phone, my gaze sharpening.Not only did I not have any regrets, but I also intended to use my own methods to reclaim everything that rightfully belonged to me. And since Harrison loved to use me as a wager for his bets, I was going to make sure he lost everything.Suddenly, a text message popped up on my phone."Ms. Redclaw, the signing of your mating contract is scheduled for 4:00 pm tomorrow. Kindly ensure that you and your mate arrive on time."Immediately after, a message arrived from Harrison, his tone dripping with a condescending, charitable air."Chloe, this is your last chance. I've requested to have today's mating contract redrawn. If you show up at the regist

Chapter 6
At 4:00 pm the following afternoon, I arrived at the Mating Registry Office right on time.Harrison was standing at the entrance to the hall, radiating a dark, oppressive air. The moment he saw me approaching, a flicker of smug satisfaction crossed his eyes."I knew you couldn't bear to be away from me, Chloe. I knew you'd come back," he said. "Mom and Selena are waiting for you in the lounge. Once we've signed the contract, I'll take you to apologize to them properly. No more throwing tantrums this time. Get it?"He spoke with eager anticipation, reaching out to pull me into the hall, but I remained rooted to the spot, refusing to move.Harrison frowned, his expression darkening with annoyance. "Chloe? What are you just standing there for?"I looked at him and chuckled coldly.The next moment, two Elders from the Shadowline pack stepped out from behind me. Damon Barker and Elijah Furlaw were the most highly respected wolves in the pack.Their faces were grim, and their brows we

Upon arriving at the Elders' Council's interrogation room, Harrison remained defiant, refusing to admit any wrongdoing. He insisted that the 300 thousand dollars in question was joint property."Chloe is my fated mate and the future Luna of the pack, Elder Damon and Elder Elijah! Wasn't the money in that account meant for our ceremony? I simply paid the final balance ahead of schedule! How could that possibly be considered theft?" he stubbornly claimed.The Elders' faces darkened with rage, and Elder Damon slammed a hand down on the table."You have neither completed the ceremony, performed the marking of your mate, nor signed any binding contracts recognized by the pack! Under both our laws and pack customs, you have absolutely no legal or formal connection with Ms. Redclaw!"Every cent in that account came from Ms. Redclaw's personal earnings. She never gave you the password, nor did she authorize you to make payments on her behalf. Therefore, this is theft, plain and simple."H

It was late at night by the time I emerged from the interrogation room. My hair was disheveled, and I looked quite exhausted, yet a smile of relief played on my lips.Cedric and I then headed to a hotel in the Neutral Zone.As I sat in our room, I took out my phone and deleted every chat log and photo I'd shared with Harrison over the past five years.Those photos were once treasures I held dear to my heart, but I realized that I now felt absolutely nothing as I watched them vanish from the screen one by one.So, this was what it was like when I finally gave up harboring hope toward someone. As it turned out, saying goodbye to all these memories could be utterly silent. The next morning, I returned to Talbot Estate, where Harrison and I had lived for five years.There was a vase holding the roses Selena loved in the living room, and her pink slippers also sat by the entryway. They were all the spoils of a bet she'd made with Harrison.I had poured so much of myself into this ho

Selena went straight to find Harrison after I left. She dragged her suitcase into his living room and said urgently, "You still remember our bet, don't you, Alpha? You promised to take me traveling. Chloe might be gone, but I'm still here. I can go with you instead."Harrison stared fixedly at Selena, his eyes bloodshot. "Get out."Selena froze. "What did you say?"Harrison stood up abruptly and tossed her suitcase outside like it was trash. "The mating ceremony is over, and the bet is finished! I said get out! Don't ever show your face in front of me again!"Selena planted her hands on her hips, dropping all pretense."Why are you only pretending to be deeply devoted to her now, Harrison? You were the one who placed the Moon Crown on my head with your own hands. You agreed to the bet. You let me put my name on the contract. You completed the ceremony with me. What exactly am I to you, Harrison?"Harrison gritted his teeth and spat out two words, "A friend."Selena let out a

Six months later, Harrison arrived at Silvermoon Pack's territory and found Cedric's house. He stood alone outside the door, waiting from morning until night, but Cedric never opened the door for him. He simply acted as though Harrison didn't exist.By evening, a heavy downpour began. Unable to hold back any longer, Harrison pleaded loudly to Cedric, "Cedric! Please, tell me where Chloe is! Let me see her just once!"Cedric flung the door open, his gaze icy. "What are you doing here? Chloe is doing just fine now, and she has no intention of ever seeing you again."Harrison shivered uncontrollably in the torrential rain, his teeth chattering as he said, "Cedric, I swear I'll redo the mating ceremony, the gown, the crown, and everything else! I'll let Chloe choose everything all over again!"I've completely cut ties with Selena, and nothing can stand in our way anymore! Please, just let me see Chloe…"Cedric just slammed the door shut in his face with a contemptuous snort."Did you
