Chapter 3

Author: PP
The days that followed were eerily calm.

Draco seemed truly convinced that loving him meant I would endure anything, so he made no effort to hide his intimacy with Nanette right in front of me.

He even handed me a manual titled "Assistant Guidelines for Nanette" and reassigned me to work as her personal assistant.

Staring at the thick binder in my hands, I couldn't help but find my six years of devotion all too absurd.

"I'm getting marked by my mate soon, so I'll have to try on wedding gowns these days," Nanette announced and smiled at me with mockery and disdain shining plainly in her eyes.

"You have such good taste, Lea. Why don't you come along and give me some advice?"

Draco looked flustered. "Nanette, Lea's just your assistant at work."

I kept my head down and replied in a flat, obedient voice, "I'll go."

Draco's chest heaved before he said, "If you don't like it, you don't have to."

But I looked up and flashed a brilliant smile. "Actually, I'd like to try on wedding gowns too. After all, we'll get married someday."

Malice flashed in Nanette's eyes, while Draco froze before he forced a strained smile. "Alright then. I'll go with both of you."

At the bridal boutique, Nanette preened before the mirrors like a proud white peacock, while I stood in the corner like a prop.

Suddenly, she stopped and locked her provocative gaze on me through the reflection in the mirror.

"Lea," she said, turning around to point at a mermaid-style wedding gown hanging nearby. "That would suit you. You'd make such a unique bride."

Ignoring her emphasis on the word "unique", I smiled and took the dress. "Sure."

The moment I stepped into the fitting room, the hushed voices behind me could no longer wait.

Draco's tone held a hint of displeasure as he hissed, "You went too far, Nanette. You know I won't be marking Lea."

"I'm sorry. I just thought… You might want to see her in a wedding gown."

Nanette's reply carried feigned innocence, but as a female, I perfectly understood the implication. It was a warning and a reminder not to harbor any delusions about the Luna's position.

It was also a humiliation to prove that even when I was openly provoked in front of Draco, I would receive no protection from him.

Sure enough, Draco fell briefly silent before saying, "Fine, but don't do it again. Since I've agreed to mark you as my Luna, I won't go back on it. You don't have to test my resolve by targeting Lea.

"You know I don't want her to find out about our marking ceremony."

I leaned against the fitting room door and could feel my blood run cold. Hearing Draco betray our relationship hurt more than any insult ever could.

My fingers trembled as I pulled out my phone and sent a message to a number I had long since blocked.

"I've changed my mind. A week from now, send someone to the Silverpine pack to get me out."

    "Lea, I'm a hundred times stronger than he is. He's not worthy of you at all!" Provoked, Draco shot to his feet and tried to rip the pink diamond off my finger, but a hand caught his wrist mid-air and stopped it cold.It was Kendrick. "You will show my fiancee respect."Draco's expression darkened. His hands immediately shifted into wolf claws that slashed toward Kendrick.Without hesitation, I stepped forward to shield Kendrick, just before the sharp claws stopped inches from my face."This is the human world and not your pack, Draco. According to the peace accords between humans and wolves, using violence in the human world carries a heavy sentence. "I suggest you stop if you don't want to drag your entire pack down with you."Draco was so unused to my coldness that his massive claws trembled. Carefully, he lifted the ring he had never managed to give me."You love me, Lea. You sacrificed so much for me…""Yes, I did love you deeply," I said as I took the ring from him. Th

    Late autumn in Molzen was biting. Cold air swept through the streets and carried maple leaves that carpeted the ground.In just two short weeks, my life had been completely rewritten. I had a new identity, a new job, and a new apartment. "Lea! I finally found you!"I never imagined I would run into Draco in Molzen. When he came running toward me, I almost thought some vagrant had wandered out of nowhere. Stubble covered his face, dark circles hung under his eyes, and his eyes fixed on me with a desperate obsession."If you come with me right now, I'll announce to everyone that you're my only Luna."I knocked his hand away and snapped, "I'm sorry, but I don't know you."Draco froze. "Lea, you…"Before he could finish, a warm, firm hand slipped around my waist. "My love, this gentleman looks mentally unstable. Is he someone you know?"A low melodic voice sounded atop my head.I looked up into a pair of smiling eyes. He was Kendrick Daves, my new CEO and the owner of the office

    Behind Liam, the gathered wolves let out a chorus of howls in agreement.Draco took a step forward as every muscle in his body tightened. "Is that a threat?"Liam remained silent, but his eyes had shifted and started glowing with feral gold. "Good," Draco said with a low laugh. He swept his gaze across every wolf standing opposite him."Since I became Alpha, many of you have grown bold in your dissent. If that's the case, we'll settle this with a challenge that follows the pack law. I will not lead a pack with wolves who disobey.""You ungrateful, backstabbing hypocrite! I'll challenge you!" Nanette's brother roared.The words had barely left his tongue before he shifted into his wolf form and swung his massive claws at Draco.Draco sidestepped and shifted just as quickly. In an instant, he clamped one claw around his opponent's throat and slammed him into the ground with bone-shattering force.Nanette's brother hit the floor hard with a dull thud. He coughed up a mouthful of

    The police station erupted into chaos of screams and gunfire.Draco took several bullets, yet he stubbornly refused to let go and stood tall as his blood pooled on the floor. In the end, the police officers brought him down with a tranquilizer.He woke up in a hospital with Nanette sitting by his bed. Her expression was full of concern.When she noticed that he was waking up, she threw herself onto him. "Draco, you scared me to death!"But he coldly pushed her away. "Don't touch me. Where's Lea?""She's dead," Nanette said. "Can't we just be together now?"Tears streamed down her face as she clutched his arm. "You need to snap out of it. She's just a pet, so she doesn't deserve what you're doing at all."Something about her words snapped his last thread of sanity, and his eyes went feral. "Lea's my wife and the woman I love more than anything!"Bitch! If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have left or be dead!"He lunged up from the bed and clamped one hand around Nanette's thro

    Nanette simply swayed the wolf fang pendant in her hand without saying a word.Draco's eyes turned bloodshot. The veins on his temples bulged as he snatched the fang from her. "Where did you get this?""Lea left it behind, of course," she said with a smirk.Draco's fingers began to tremble. This was his token of affection to me and my most treasured possession, and I had never taken it off.That was when he began wondering if something had happened to me.He suppressed his rising panic and dialed Liam, the Beta. "Where's Lea?"Liam sounded groggy, as if he had just jerked awake from a drunken stupor. "Apologies, Alpha Draco. I haven't tracked her movements today, but I'll check on her right now."Draco tightened his grip around his phone so much that it deformed under his strength. He grabbed his coat and bolted for the door. Nanette lunged forward and grabbed his arm. "Draco! Today's our marking night, and if you walk out now, I'll have my father publicly denounce your leader

    At the pack grounds, the celebration was in full swing. Crystal towers of champagne shimmered under the chandeliers, and every face in the crowd beamed with celebratory joy.Dressed in a finely tailored suit, Draco stood beside Nanette, who held onto his arm, and looked every bit the proud Alpha."I, Draco Pierce, swear upon my wolf soul that from this day forth, Nanette Chase shall be my only mate and Luna."I will share with her my strength, my honor, and my life. She is my beloved, eternal, and sole."The final words "eternal and sole" hung in the air. Thunderous applause and cheers erupted from the crowd.The moment the vow left Draco's lips, he felt a sharp, violent cramp in his chest. His fingers twitched, and the Luna crown meant for Nanette nearly slipped from his grasp.She shot him an annoyed glare, so he had to force down the sudden, inexplicable dread. But even after the ceremony concluded, the panic didn't fade. Instead, it grew stronger.His wolf instincts screamed
