After my fated mate, Liam, postponed our marking ceremony for the ninety-ninth time, I saw him on the pack's evening news broadcast. He was with Clara at the Temple of the Moon Goddess, helping her choose precious moonstones. The look on his face was a gentle one I'd never seen before. My heart turned to ash. In my despair, I immediately accepted Alpha Fabian's courtship. He wooed me at his lavish estate, promising me the grandest marking ceremony of all. I started to believe the Moon Goddess had made a mistake, that Fabian was my true mate. Until I walked in on him in his study, plotting with a witch. On our marking night, he was going to steal my wolf soul and give it to Clara. And to make sure I could never interfere with Clara and Liam's bond, he planned to keep me his prisoner forever. I fled back to my room, sobbing uncontrollably. Then, with a trembling hand, I called the apothecary. "I need your strongest potion to end a pregnancy. As soon as possible."
View MoreRegina's POVOn Christmas Day, the North American continent was blanketed by a blizzard.I had returned to the States to handle some family matters left by my father.After six months away, everything here felt distant and unfamiliar."Miss, there's someone waiting for you outside," the butler said, his voice trembling slightly. "He's been there since last night."I looked through the window.In the swirling snow, a familiar figure was curled up on the front steps.Fabian.He was wearing thin clothes, his hair and eyebrows crusted with ice, but he sat there stubbornly.I thought I would be disgusted to see him again.Or that I would feel grief for the pup I had lost.But now, all I felt was peace.I gestured for the butler to let him in, curious to see what else he could possibly have to say.When Fabian entered the living room, he was unsteady on his feet, his face deathly pale.His former Alpha presence was gone. He looked like a homeless man."You've lost weight," I said, pouring hi
Regina's POVOn a rainy night in Paris, the Champs-Élysées glittered with lights.I pushed open the door to the café, and the rich aroma of coffee washed over me."Regina?" a voice with a French accent called out.Lucien de Rothschild stood up and gracefully extended his hand.He was Europe's most famous werewolf artist and my new business partner."Was your flight smooth?" he asked, pulling out a chair for me."It was fine," I said, sitting down. "How are the preparations for the design studio coming along?""Perfectly." Lucien's eyes shone with excitement. "The nobles of Paris are all waiting to see your work. I heard you have a Moonlight Wolf Soul?""I do," I said, picking up my coffee. "But now, it serves only me.""Only you?" he said thoughtfully. "You mean it no longer exists for a certain Alpha?""Precisely," I smiled lightly. "The power of a wolf soul should be used to realize one's own value, not to be a tool for someone else."Lucien nodded in appreciation. "Indeed. True powe
Fabian's POVThree months after the trial, Fabian had lost everything.His Alpha title was gone, and leadership of the Pack had been transferred to his cousin, Marcus.At the family meeting, his father looked at him coldly. "As of today, you are no longer the heir to this family.""Father—""Shut up!" his father roared. "You've brought enough shame upon this family!"The elders shook their heads, their eyes full of disappointment."For the sake of blood ties," his father said, tossing a file at him, "you can keep the villa on the outskirts of town and the assets in your name. But you are forbidden from ever appearing in public as an heir to the Morris family."Fabian took the file, his hands shaking.After that day, the huge villa was empty except for him. All the servants were dismissed, his friends avoided him like the plague, and even Clara had left him a letter before her exile:"Fabian, this is all your fault. If you hadn't been so evil as to try and hurt Regina, I would have had
Fabian's POVThree days later, the trial began.In the solemn council hall, twelve elders sat on a high platform, looking down at the accused.Fabian was chained to a chair with silver restraints, his face pale, his former handsomeness gone.The witch had already confessed to everything.Now it was Clara's turn to testify."Please state your relationship with the defendant, Fabian Morris," the head elder asked.Clara, dressed in a simple white dress, looked pitiful and frail, her eyes red and swollen."We were friends. We grew up together," she said weakly. "But I knew nothing about his plans.""Nothing?" The elder frowned. "The evidence shows you were to be the final recipient of the wolf soul.""That... that was his decision!" Clara immediately distanced herself. "I never asked him to do anything for me!""Liar!" Fabian shot to his feet, the silver chains scraping loudly. "Clara, you were the one who cried and begged me to help you get a wolf soul!""I did not!" Clara screamed. "I ne
Fabian's POVOn the day of the marking ceremony, Regina was gone.Fabian stood at the door to the bridal suite, his expression dark."Why isn't she here yet?"Clara bit her lip nervously. "Maybe... maybe she got scared?"Fabian walked over and stroked her cheek. "Don't worry, my love. Nothing will stop you from getting what you deserve.""But if Regina doesn't come—""She'll come," he said, kissing her forehead gently. "She loves me too much to miss our marking ceremony."The hooded witch stepped out from the shadows. "The ritual circle has been consecrated, Alpha. The moment she steps onto the ceremony grounds, there's no escape."Fabian nodded. "Are you sure it will work?""Of course," the witch sneered. "The continent's most powerful Moonlight Wolf Soul will soon be Miss Swain's."A greedy light flashed in Clara's eyes. "Then I'll finally have real power.""Not just power," Fabian said, pulling her into his arms. "You'll be the most powerful Luna. My queen."Night fell, and the cere
The next morning, I drank the dark potion in one gulp.The dark blue liquid slid down my throat, carrying an icy chill.Instantly, a tearing pain ripped through my abdomen.I could feel the spiritual bond with the pup in my womb snapping, thread by thread, like someone was ripping a hole right through my soul.But I clenched my jaw and made no sound.Tears, however, streamed down my face uncontrollably.Forgive me, little one.You don't deserve to be a sacrifice in this filthy game.I collapsed onto the floor in agony, my thoughts broken only by a frantic knocking at the door.I opened it to find Clara, her eyes red and swollen, her hair a mess."This is all your fault! All of it!" she shrieked hysterically."What is?""Liam saw me and Fabian together!" Her voice was shrill. "He said he's cutting all ties with me, forever!"I nearly laughed out loud. "Isn't that the result you wanted?""What?""You were seducing my fiancé while stringing along your first love." I stared at her coldly.
