Chapter 3

Auteur: Anna
He recognized that Sam was Sophia's cousin. He wanted to protect this scumbag for Sophia. I laughed as tears streamed down my face. I pulled the bank card out of my pocket and hurled it right into Fred's face.

"You'd eat shit for her if she asked!"

I turned on my heel and walked away. If I stayed a second longer, I was afraid I'd heave up stomach acid. But the moment I stepped out of the hotel, his Lead Warriors caught up to me. They blocked my path like two brick walls and roughly hauled me back upstairs.

Sophia was sobbing, practically burying herself into Fred's chest. She gave me a hypocritical apology.

"Chloe, I genuinely didn't know you were that girl." "Sam has a bad temper, sure. But if some slutty she-wolf hadn't been shaking her ass to seduce him, he wouldn't have dared to do anything reckless."

I scoffed, raising my eyes to glare at Fred.

"You had your Warriors drag me back here like a prisoner just so I could listen to this?"

Fred furrowed his brow.

"Chloe, you are too narrow-minded. How can you be the Pack's Luna acting like this?"

I clearly caught the gleam of triumph flashing in Sophia's eyes. Sam, chomping on a cigar, insolently held out a bottle of whiskey.

"Take a swig, Chloe, and we wipe the slate clean."

He leaned in, and I instinctively backed away. Right then, Sophia snatched the bottle and threw her head back, chugging it down. She immediately started coughing violently. Fred shoved me aside, his face full of heartache as he barked at me.

"Chloe, do you really have to make this so ugly?"

A chill ran through my entire body. From the moment I was dragged into this suite, these two had been putting on a theatrical act. Could Sophia shedding a few crocodile tears really cancel out the absolute terror of my near-rape?

She shrank into Fred's embrace, brushing her long hair aside to reveal the moonstone necklace resting on her collarbone. That was the token passed down exclusively to generations of Lunas. My stomach plummeted. On every past birthday, Fred would act like he was doing me a massive favor by bringing this necklace out and letting me touch it. He would wrap his arms around me from behind, his lips brushing my ear as he murmured.

"Baby, I swear, this necklace will definitely be yours one day."

My chest tightened so much I could barely breathe. I ripped off the cheap leather string tied around my wrist—something Fred had casually bought for me at a street stall. I bit my lower lip hard.

"Are you done with your little show?" "Fred, I have already paid you back for my mom's medical bills. We're completely even."

Fred stared at the leather string on the table, a cryptic, mocking smirk curling his lips. He picked it up and tossed it straight into the trash. He looked at me with a gaze reserved for pure garbage.

"Sophia was right. Deep down to your bones, you're only after my power and my money." "I let her wear the Luna's necklace to test you. If you didn't care about the necklace and only cared about my love, I would have announced you as my Luna right here and now. What a pity you disappointed me."

  • Not Your Backup Luna   Chapter 12

    Early autumn, three years later. The coastal breeze was beginning to turn chilly. That afternoon, I went to a farm outside of town to pick up a fresh batch of white roses for my mom. The mountain road back was lined with dense pine forests. I was walking hurriedly with the bouquet in my arms, not noticing something deep in the woods watching me.Until a blood-tainted Rogue scent hit me right in the face.I froze in place. It was a lone Rogue with filthy fur, its fangs still dripping with the blood of its last prey. It let out a low growl and lunged. Clutching the bouquet, I rolled down the embankment by the road. The old scar on my knee was sliced open by a branch, and blood immediately gushed out. My wolf thrashed frantically inside me, but this body hadn't fought in far too long. I dodged instinctively.I thought for sure I was going to die here this time.But the agonizing pain I anticipated never came. A massive dark shadow leaped over my head, slamming into the Rogue and sending i

    Fred raised his hand, revealing the silver ring engraved with my initials on his ring finger."Chloe..." I looked at the Sheriff."He stalked me. He is a severe threat to my personal safety."I handed my phone to the Sheriff, showing the security footage of Fred tailing me home.Fred was locked in the police station's holding cell. He would be detained for three days.Leaving the station, my mother was pacing back and forth at the entrance."Mom, everything is handled."She let out a long breath and held my hand as we walked home.Three days later, Fred appeared at the flower shop's door again. In just three short days, his cheeks had deeply sunken in. The girls in the shop recognized him immediately."A man like that should know how to act like a gentleman and not ruin someone else's peaceful life! "Fred stood a short distance away like an exiled stray dog. After an unknown amount of time, he walked up to the counter."Chloe, could you brew me a cup of 'Starlight' again? "That sign

  • Not Your Backup Luna   Chapter 10

    My mother chased Fred out of the flower shop. The puppy circled my ankles. I took a deep breath, forcing myself to completely ignore his existence. I was loved by many people now; I simply didn't need Fred at all.Fred stood outside the glass window. The sun was brutal, and beads of sweat rolled down his jaw. A muffled thud came from the doorway. He had collapsed onto the scorching cobblestone path. I lowered my head, focusing entirely on making latte art for a customer's coffee. No one paid him any attention.Fred struggled to his feet, gritting his teeth, and continued to stand at the door. He remained standing outside until the flower shop closed for the day. He slowly approached. I wiped down the counter, never once looking at him.Fred pointed at the last bouquet of blue baby's breath in the flower bucket."Chloe, can you sell this bouquet to me?" My mother shoved him aside with her shoulder and thrust the flowers into my arms."Sorry. These aren't for sale. This is a gift for my

    The Rogue King sneered, dragging and shoving Sophia into a beat-up van. Her screams echoed across the entire square. The former Luna was so furious she crushed her wine glass in her hand, sharply ordering Fred to get out of the territory immediately.Walking down the road, Fred dialed his Lead Warrior's number."No matter the cost, find out Chloe's whereabouts as fast as possible."I followed my mother to a human town by the sea. Life passed very peacefully. I seemed unable to find the meaning of living. Every day, I curled up on the windowsill, watching the sun rise and set.A week later, my mother carried home a small cardboard box. She stroked my hair."Chloe, open it and see."I heard the sound of claws scratching against cardboard. I opened the box; inside was a pure white puppy. It rubbed against my palm, its wet nose repeatedly nudging the pulse at my wrist. My wolf lifted her head exhaustedly inside me, letting out a very soft whimper for the first time.My mother used her savi

    Fred threw off her hand. The person standing here receiving the cheers of the entire Pack should be Chloe. It could only be Chloe."Take off that dress."The square instantly fell dead silent."Fred, are you crazy? What are you saying ?" The former Luna rushed over. "Sophia must complete the ceremony today. What the hell is wrong with you?"Right at that moment, the iron gates on the edge of the square were kicked open. The border Warriors flew out like kites with broken strings, crashing onto the long tables. The man dressed entirely in black walked in slowly and methodically. Behind him trailed a squad of werewolves reeking of a foul stench.He wasn't an ordinary Rogue. He was the Rogue King—the king of stray wolves whom even the Council couldn't handle, commanding the largest Rogue camp in North America. The territory in his hands wasn't on the Council's map, but it was larger than any official Pack.He slapped Sophia across the face."Stole my money and sold out my people. Did you

    Chloe got up before dawn every day to hunt in the forest. Fred watched the exhaustion in her eyes. From that moment on, he was certain Chloe loved him so much she would give her life for him. No matter how many she-wolves he messed around with outside, Chloe would always wait for him right where he left her.He kept a secret from everyone. Tomorrow's engagement ceremony with Sophia was just an act. He was going to place the Luna's mark on Chloe's neck in front of all the Elders.He unlocked his screen and typed."Chloe, you must be there tomorrow. I have a huge surprise prepared for you."After hitting send, he tightly gripped the roughly woven wolf-tooth necklace in his hand. Chloe had made it herself, and it still carried the faint scent of pine from her body. By tomorrow, Chloe would definitely be crying tears of joy.The sun hadn't even risen. Fred put on his custom black suit. He tapped into Chloe's chat once again. Still no reply. He had never waited like this for a message from
