I fell asleep in my fated mate Alpha Zane’s office. When I woke up, a magical seal was branded on my face. “Blackmoon Pack’s Slut.” And there was Dahlia, Zane’s new omega assistant. She held an Alpha’s seal, a taunting smirk on her face. “Why is a porcelain doll like you meddling in pack business?” she sneered. “You should just stay in your castle and be the pretty little trophy you are.” My wolf snarled, ready to crush her with my aura. But just as a vase flew at her head, Zane was suddenly there. He shielded her with his own body, his own Alpha power flaring to meet mine. He scowled at me, his voice tight with fury. “Dahlia was just playing a prank. Don’t be so dramatic.” But my eyes locked on the exposed skin of Dahlia's neck, where she was nestled in his arms. There it was. A fresh bite mark. And it reeked of him. Dahlia let out a contented purr, her voice dripping with sickly sweetness. “My Alpha knows I never attended the academy, and I was getting so bored. So to entertain me, he let me play with his Alpha’s sigil to practice creating magical marks.” She giggled. “I was just playing a little game with the princess. You’re not going to be a sore loser, are you?”

十一月の深夜、隅田川に架かる橋の上で、水瀬凛は欄干に手をかけていた。
冷たい金属の感触が掌に食い込む。東京の夜景が眼下に広がっているが、その煌めきは彼女にとって何の意味も持たなかった。むしろ、あの光の一つ一つが彼女を嘲笑っているように見えた。
二十八年間の人生で、凛はこれほど静かな夜を経験したことがなかった。車の音も、人の声も、全てが遠い。まるで世界が彼女を置き去りにして、先に進んでしまったかのようだった。
ハンドバッグの中には、離婚届と破産通知書。それだけが、彼女の全財産だった。
「……いいのよ、もう」
誰にともなく呟いた声は、風に溶けて消えた。
欄干に足をかけようとしたその時、背後から男の声が響いた。
「待ってください」
振り返ると、闇の中から一人の男が歩いてきた。黒いコートを纏い、整った顔立ちの男。その瞳は、街灯の光を反射して琥珀色に輝いていた。
「誰……？」
「名前はまだ明かしません。でも、あなたを止めるために来ました」
男は静かに、しかし確信を持って言った。
「あなたには、《《まだ価値がある》》」
その言葉に、凛の体が硬直した。「価値」――夫が最後に言った言葉と同じだ。ただし、意味は正反対だった。
「私に……価値？」
凛は笑った。乾いた、空虚な笑い。
「私には何もない。お金も、家も、夫も、友人も。全部失ったの。私に価値なんて――」
「あなたの目を見れば分かります」
男は一歩近づいた。
「その目は、美しいものを見分ける目だ。そして、美しいものを創り出す力を持っている。それは、誰にでもある才能じゃない」
凛は戸惑った。この男は一体何を言っているのだろう。
「一つ、提案があります」
男はコートの内ポケットから、一枚の名刺を取り出した。月明かりの下で、エンボス加工された文字が浮かび上がる。
『黒澤玲於 MAISON NOIR Asia Representative』
「私と契約してください。一年間、私のビジネスパートナーとして。報酬は、一億円です」
凛の心臓が、久しぶりに強く鼓動した。

She Wore His Scent, I Wore His Shame Chapter 9
A year later.It was a spring afternoon. Sunlight streamed through the blinds in my study.Lydia sat across from me, sipping her tea, a strange look on her face.“Cassia, there’s something I think you should know,” she said, setting down her cup. “It’s about Zane.”I didn’t look up from the report I was reading.“Their child was born,” Lydia said, pausing for effect. “But…”“But what?” I asked, my voice flat.“The baby… it was born with Wolf Soul Decay.”My hand froze.Wolf Soul Decay. An extremely rare genetic disease.The child’s wolf spirit slowly fades away. Without treatment, they never survive their first winter.“The healers say he needs water from the Spring of Life to be saved,” Lydia continued. “But that water…”“Costs eighty thousand gold pieces,” I finished for her.Water from the Spring of Life held the purest life energy.But it was incredibly rare and cost a fortune.“For the man Zane is now, eighty thousand gold… it’s an impossible sum.” Lydia shook her head.I finally

My "generous offer" made Dahlia snap.“No! NO!” she screamed hysterically, clinging to Zane’s arm. “Zane! Save me! She’s crazy!”“I’m not cleaning any toilets! I won’t do it!”Zane looked down at the sobbing woman in his arms, his face a mask of pain and conflict.Just then, the doors to the council hall were thrown open again.A young Beta, Zane's second-in-command, ran in, drenched in sweat.“Alpha!” he yelled, out of breath. “It’s bad! It’s really bad!”Every eye in the room turned to him.“The Royal Enforcers just seized all of our mines!” he panted. “The silver mines, the iron mines, even the moonstone quarries! They’re all frozen!”Zane’s face went chalk white.“And that’s not all!” the Beta continued. “Our properties in the cities, our shops, our bank accounts… they’ve all been seized!”A collective gasp went through the hall.Those assets were worth tens of millions.“They said…” the Beta swallowed hard. “They said if you don't sign the abdication agreement in the next half hou

The entire council hall fell dead silent.Behind me, my beta, Marcus, walked into the hall.He carried an ancient parchment scroll, a contract consecrated with the holy water of the Moon Goddess.“Elders,” Marcus’s voice echoed through the hall, clear and solemn. “I will now read Article Three of the Royal Mating Contract.”He unrolled the parchment. Silver runes shimmered on the page.“The contract states: As the mate of a Royal, all power and status held by Zane of the Dark Moon pack are derived from the blessing of the Royal bloodline.”A low murmur went through the hall.Marcus continued, “This includes, but is not limited to: the Alpha title, leadership of the pack, all property and assets, and his standing within the Wolf Alliance.”The color was draining from Zane's face.“Upon breaking the vow of fidelity, all these powers and privileges are hereby and immediately revoked.”Marcus paused, his eyes sweeping across the hall.“It is hereby declared: due to Zane of the Dark Moon pa

Zane never returned to the manor after that night.I learned from Gordon, my butler, that he had moved into Dahlia’s small apartment on the west side of town.Soon after, the taunts from Dahlia began.Eleven P.M. My phone buzzed.A picture buzzed through. Zane, hunched over their tiny kitchen counter, baking her honey bread.He moved so carefully, like he was handling a precious piece of art.The caption read: My Alpha is the sweetest. He knows his Luna has been craving sweets since getting pregnant. I looked at it, my face blank. I didn't reply.The next day, just after midnight, another one arrived.Zane was sitting on the rug in front of a fireplace, brushing Dahlia's long, brown hair.The orange firelight danced on their faces. The scene looked like a painting.My Alpha brushes my hair every night. He says it's good for the baby~Still, I didn't reply.Day three, day four, day five...Every night, like clockwork, Dahlia sent a photo.Sometimes it was Zane massaging her ankles. Som
