Chapter 3

ผู้เขียน: TP
When I opened my eyes, all I could see was a white ceiling.

"Ylva! You're finally awake!"

A wolf with a haggard face leaned over me and entered my sight. It was Lucian.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was filled with frantic restlessness. When he noticed that I had opened my eyes, he reached out to grab my hand.

"Don't touch me." My voice was weak but firm.

Lucian's hand froze in midair, and a flicker of guilt flashed across his expression. "I'm sorry, Ylva… I truly thought you were just putting on another act.

"And there are always guards led by Betas patrolling the outer pack grounds, so how was I supposed to know Rogues had slipped in? The useless idiots neglected their duties and put you through his.

"You know how many things you've done just to get my attention."

He spoke urgently as if he was trying to shift the blame away from himself.

"What about the Rogues? Were they caught and executed?" I demanded and kept my eyes locked on him.

Lucian avoided my eyes as he stammered, "T-They were caught, but they're distant relatives of Sadie's family.

"You know how tragic her background is. She begged me to spare their lives and only exile them…"

This was my mate, who had released the Rogues that nearly tore me apart, just for Sadie.

"And one more thing…" he hesitantly continued. "Sadie… She's carrying my pup."

A deafening bomb erupted in my mind, as if something in me had finally shattered. Though I had long braced myself for his words, listening to him say it so casually felt like an invisible hand had seized my heart and allowed pain to spread in fine, suffocating threads.

"Sadie's been badly shaken these past few days, so she's having an unstable pregnancy. You're the Luna, Ylva, so it's your duty to care for the pack's pups."

As Lucian looked at me, his tone gradually hardened. "For now, I need you to vacate the pack house so Sadie can rest there. You'll move to the west wing, and you'll be responsible for her daily care until the pup is safely born."

Hatred churned violently in me.

I remembered that when I was carrying Conan, Sadie claimed she couldn't stand my scent, so Lucian had locked me in the cellar for my entire pregnancy. All I had were moldy bread and murky water.

Sadie bribed the maids to mix silver powder into my food, so even with my healing gift, my body couldn't recover.

Now, he wanted me to serve that she-wolf, who had ruined me.

"In your dreams."

Seeing my resolve, Lucian switched to a look of affection. He took my hand and solemnly vowed. "Trust me one last time, Ylva. This pup was just an accident.

"Once Sadie gives birth, I'll send her far away and make sure she doesn't appear before us again.

"The pup will be regarded as yours. For the rest of my life, I'll stay by your side only and spend the rest of my years making it up to you."

That was such a laughable promise.

Looking into his calculating eyes, I realized that I felt utterly nothing. There was no pain or love, and I was even too exhausted to hate.

Now that the love was gone, it felt like a curse had finally been lifted. For the first time in years, I felt light and relieved.

After withdrawing my hand, I announced, "Lucian, let's dissolve the mate bond."

A dead silence hung in the air.

Lucian's eyes widened before a storm of fury engulfed him. "Have you lost your mind?"

He kicked over the chair beside the bed and started lashing out. "To force Sadie to abort the pup, you'd threaten me with breaking the mate bond? I told you I'd make it up to you, so how far are you going to take this?"

Just then, the ward doors burst open before Sadie rushed in. Her expression was pale, and tears streamed down her cheeks with cinematic timing.

"I'm so sorry, Luna Ylva! I had no idea the rogues would come after you!"

As she sobbed, she cried out, "I know you hate me, but the pup's innocent. If you feel that this pup shouldn't exist at all, I can take him away and leave.

"Just please don't hurt Lucian by breaking the mate bond. He's the Alpha of the pack, and his reputation means everything."

With that, Sadie swayed unsteadily on her feet.

Lucian quickly moved to catch her with a gentle touch. When he looked back at me, there was only disappointment and disgust in his eyes.

His voice dripped with sarcasm as he spoke. "Do you hear her, Ylva? Just look at her, then at yourself. She's thinking of my reputation and the pack's stability, while you're the Luna, and all you know is jealousy!"

He shielded her behind him and added, "I will never dissolve the bond. Don't even think about it."

That was when Conan rushed in. He ran up to my bed and sank his fangs into my unhealed wounds.

I screamed. The pain seemed to make my world go black for a moment.

When he finally released me, his eyes blazed with hatred. "You're an evil she-wolf! I won't let you bully Sadie!

"She's the best mom in the world, while you're just a wicked hag! You should just drop dead!"

  • The Alpha Wants Me Back? Denied.   Chapter 10

    Lucian stood in the rain for three days and nights before he finally collapsed. He was thrown into an off-road vehicle by a group of half-breeds who found him. When he woke up, he did not give up either. His regret had mutated into a frantic, obsessive desperation.For the next week, caravans of rare treasures and lavish gifts arrived at Erick's pack grounds in a steady stream. He even issued a public proclamation across the packs to admit his wrongs and declare that I was his only true mate.To me, everything he was doing was just harassment. Every gift was returned untouched, along with a letter that only had two words—"Stop it."Half a month later, a grand ritual was held in the camp. I was arranged to be mates with pureblood Alpha Erick.Lucian snuck in and hid in the shadows, staring at the high platform with greedy, desperate hunger. He watched as the tall, powerful Erick took my hand and gently slid a ring onto my finger.A radiant crown was placed on my head and caught l

  • The Alpha Wants Me Back? Denied.   Chapter 9

    When Lucian kicked Sadie's door open, she was frantically packing her bags in an attempt to flee.When she saw him standing there, shrouded in terrifying fury, she collapsed onto the floor in fright. "Lucian… Let me explain, my dear. The head healer framed me…""Shut up."With a flick of his wrist, he hurled the report in her face. "A hysterectomy? Healing magic?" he said, advancing step by step. "Sadie, every word you've spoken these ten years has been a lie."Realizing the game was up, the fear in Sadie's eyes shifted into venom. In one sudden lunge, she seized Conan, who was cowering by the door, wrapped an arm around his neck, and pressed a dagger to his throat."Don't come closer, or I'll slit his throat! He's not even mine anyway!"Lucian froze, but Conan, who had been sobbing quietly, suddenly glared with pure hatred. He opened his mouth and sank his fangs into Sadie's wrist.When she screamed and dropped the dagger, Lucian seized the chance to shatter both her knees.

  • The Alpha Wants Me Back? Denied.   Chapter 8

    After returning to the pack grounds, Lucian seemed to have lost his soul. He shut himself in his study as the cold detachment in my eyes at Luminal Concord played on a loop in his mind.Meanwhile, the humiliated Sadie took out all her rage on Conan. "Stop crying! All you ever do is cry! Even your deadbeat mother doesn't want you anymore!"She dug her nails into his arm and left deep marks, while Conan curled into a ball from the pain.Late that night, Conan grew so desperate for my scent that he sneaked into the master bedroom and hoped to find a piece of my old clothing. The closet door was ajar. He was about to slip inside when he heard Sadie enter, already on the phone.Terrified, he hid deep within the hanging clothes. "Lucian is such a fool. He hasn't even noticed a thing," she said, her venomous voice dripping with contempt. "Pregnant? Please. Thanks to the dark magic potion I used daily to mimic a pregnant scent, and a little illusionary magic to make my stomach look r

  • The Alpha Wants Me Back? Denied.   Chapter 7

    Three months later, the neighboring packs gathered for Luminal Concord.Lucian brought Sadie and Conan along. On the surface, it was a trip to soothe the pregnant Sadie, but in reality, it was his desperate attempt to search for my whereabouts.For three months, he had searched like a madman and scoured every single corner of the pack grounds, only to find nothing. Luminal Concord was his final hope.The square was bustling. Sadie squeezed into an ill-fitting gown as she arrogantly bossed Conan around, making him fetch treats and trinkets. He scurried back and forth with a timid, weary look in his eyes."Have you heard? A new healer arrived in the free trade zone.""They say she's a miracle-worker. My broken leg has been aching for three months, and the pain vanished after she touched it once.""And she's beautiful. I heard even a pureblood Alpha has taken interest in her…"Murmurs of the crowd reached Lucian's ears. Driven by an irresistible instinct, he shoved through the crow

  • The Alpha Wants Me Back? Denied.   Chapter 6

    After leaving the pack house, I headed straight to the neutral zone. There, I found a reclusive witch and sought her help to completely sever my bond with Lucian."Forcing a one-sided severance will wound you deeply, my pup,"I stared at her with an unwavering gaze. "I'd rather die free than live bound."Soon, the ritual began. When I drank the potion infused with severance energy, it felt as if my soul was being ripped in two. Agony surged through my veins before I coughed up blood and collapsed.But when I looked at the blood, I smiled.…At the Bloodfang pack, Lucian was dealing with pack affairs when his heart buckled. A jagged, agonizing sensation ripped through his chest and threw him off the chair, onto the floor.His wolf howled inside him with a guttural, soul-shattering despair. The invisible thread that had linked his soul to mine was permanently severed by a force he couldn't stand a chance of fighting back."No…" he roared in anguish, kneeling on the floor.That w

  • The Alpha Wants Me Back? Denied.   Chapter 5

    When Lucian spotted the farewell letter on the desk, his first reaction was a storm of rage. It was the fury of an Alpha whose authority had been challenged."Ylva! You're playing these games again!" he roared, veins bulging across the back of his hand as he snatched up the letter and tore it to shreds."Seal the borderlands!" he barked orders at the guards at the door."If she thinks running away will threaten me, she must be dreaming. In three days, she'll come crawling back, crying and begging like she always does!"He was certain of that. After all, I had loved him with such lowly devotion for ten years.That night, the pack house was eerily silent. Lucian lay on the massive bed with the empty space beside him. The faint, lingering scent of herbs was fading away.He closed his eyes and tried to sleep, but his wolf began to thrash in his body. It was a primal, soul-deep panic.Within his consciousness, his wolf paced anxiously and whimpered with the terror of losing its mate.
