Chapter 7

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 deriv

  • 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

    Dahlia trembled in Zane’s arms, her hands clutching his collar.But Zane’s shock lasted only a second before it twisted into raw fury.“Are you insane?” he roared. “You’re dragging the Royal Guard into this over something so petty?”His voice was dripping with disappointment and accusation.“We’re mates! Five years together, and you’re just throwing it all away?”I watched him, my face a cold mask. I said nothing.His voice grew frantic. "Do you have any idea what I need right now? I need to get Dahlia to a doctor. Now. I need to make sure our baby is safe!"He lifted his chin, his expression defiant.“I need an heir, Cassia! An Alpha needs an heir to secure his bloodline!”His words were daggers in my chest.An heir.He said he desperately needed an heir.My mind flashed back five years.Back then, Zane was just an ambitious nobody from a minor pack.My father had been furious. He hated our match.“Cassia, he's beneath you!” he had yelled. “He's just a social climber, trying to use yo

    Late that night, the manor doors were thrown open.Zane was back.He held a beautiful box in his hands, a pleading smile on his face."Cassia, I have a surprise for you." His voice was laced with nerves. "It's the grand prize from tonight's auction—the Night Star diamond."He opened the box. Inside, a black diamond the size of my fist glittered under the moonlight."It's worth eight million," he said carefully. "I thought you'd like it."I just looked at him.Did he think a jewel could erase what he'd done?Did he think money could buy my forgiveness?Zane moved closer, reaching out to touch my cheek.The moment he got near, the thick, cloying scent of an omega washed over me.I recoiled, shoving him away with all my strength."Don't touch me," I snarled. "Your stench makes me sick."The smile froze on his face."Cassia, I can explain—"Just then, hurried footsteps echoed from the doorway.Dahlia burst in.Her body was covered in red marks, her hair a mess, her eyes filled with despera
