Synopsis

Tragic Love

Alpha

Regret

Winning Back the Wife

Hypocrisy

My Alpha, Lucas Belville, is extremely possessive. We've been mates for seven years, and he tells me the same thing all the time. "You're a treasure that the Moon Goddess bestowed upon me. I want to hide you away if I can. I don't want anyone else to see you." It's why he never brings me to any pack meetings and forbids me from appearing in his social circle. In the past, I believe that this is Lucas' way of expressing his love for me. But everything changes when I accidentally stumble across his secretive, alternate account one day. Lucas has uploaded over 600 posts over the course of three years. Another she-wolf, Maria Anderson, is featured in every single post. They walk along the snowy plains in the north, exchange vows in the temple of the Moon Goddess, and indulge in wine and merriment during pack festivals. Although I'm Lucas' mate, I've never appeared in any of his photos. Lucas' latest post is an intimate photo of him and Maria. In the photo, he's leaning his head down and kissing her. Maria is wearing a moonstone necklace that identifies her as the Luna of the pack. The caption reads, "To love someone is to let the entire world know that she belongs to me." Excruciating pain lances through my chest. My wolf whines in despair. It turns out that Lucas isn't hiding me away because he's scared of losing me. It's just that he has never once considered acknowledging my existence. I close the page, wipe my tears, and book a plane ticket to the south. Since Lucas is unwilling to announce me as his mate, it's up to me to tell everyone that I no longer belong to him.

Chapter 1
My mate, Lucas Belville, video-called me just as I received a notification that my flight booking was confirmed.I answered his call.Lucas was standing before a floor-to-ceiling window in the video. The city's dazzling night scenery sparkled behind him.His smile was as gentle as ever when he asked, "Why are you still awake, darling?"I remained silent, listening to my wolf whine softly."Things are wrapping up here soon," Lucas continued. "I'll be home in the next few days."My wolf looked up at me at the mention of home. The light had disappeared from her silver eyes.If I hadn't seen Lucas' posts that numbered in the hundreds on his alternate account, my wolf probably would have been ecstatic to hear that he was coming home.I looked at Lucas calmly. I didn't interrogate him about the posts. Instead, I asked, "Is there someone there with you?""Of course not," he swiftly answered, lifting his wine glass. "Why would there be anyone by my side when I'm about to turn in for t

Following the location that Lucas left behind, I made my way to Silvermoon Club in Northvale.It was a private club that the pack's wealthy wolves enjoyed visiting. Regular wolves had no chance of stepping foot into the establishment.The mating mark on my wrist began to burn slightly when I was on the way to the club. A few seconds later, I received a notification that a transaction had been made using the funds in my shared bank account with Lucas.Lucas had just bought a bracelet.I froze in place, feeling as if I couldn't move.At the same time, a new post appeared on Lucas' social media account.The photo showed a slender hand with a bracelet wrapped around the she-wolf's wrist. The bracelet glimmered with a gentle light. It looked beautiful and refined.Lucas' caption read, "The wolf I love deserves to have all the beautiful things."My gaze strayed to my own wrist, which had a very visible scar.Last year, when Lucas' blood went out of control, he was at the mercy of a

Seeming to sense my presence, Lucas looked up and immediately spotted me in the crowd. He reflexively let go of Maria's wrist.Maria blinked as she looked at me with a bewildered expression. "Who's that, Lucas?" she asked.Lucas' Adam's apple bobbed before he said in a low voice, "She's just an acquaintance."An acquaintance.That was all I was to him even though we were together for seven years.I thought that I would cry, but instead, the corners of my lips curled up into a mocking smile.My wolf curled up into a tiny ball.I pulled out the recording that I had prepared beforehand and said, "Everyone here might not be aware, but I'm actually Lucas' mate. We've been together for seven years."Everyone in the hall immediately began to discuss among themselves.Lucas' complexion turned deathly pale.I played the first recording that showed when Lucas' wolf manifested for the first time. A younger Lucas stood before me under the moonlight. He held my hand and said, "I'll anno

The crowd's voices grew louder and louder.Lucas was busy wiping Maria's tears and comforting her gently.My wolf raised her head and stared at me. "Tell them that we're Lucas' mate who the Moon Goddess personally acknowledged, Leah!"I comforted my wolf, saying, "It's fine. We'll be leaving this place very soon."Just as I was about to speak, Lucas finally hurried toward me. He grabbed my shoulder and asked in a low voice, "How did you get in here, darling?"I swatted his hand away and retorted, "Do you only care about how I got in here? Why didn't you ask me why I'm here?"Lucas' face twisted. "Stop making a fuss," he said, trying to comfort me. "I'll explain everything to you when I get home later."My eyes flashed red in fury. "We were together for seven years, Lucas. At the same time, you were with Ms. Anderson for three years. I want you to announce our relationship to the pack right now!"Lucas became even more upset. In the past, he hated seeing me angry or in pain. W

My phone started vibrating seconds after I hung up on Alya.Dad had sent a message to me."When are you bringing your mate back to the pack?" he asked. "Your mother has already prepared the moondrip wine for the mating ritual."My nose stung as I stared at the words on the screen.For the past few years, I lied to my pack and my parents to protect Lucas. I told them that he was always swamped with work since he had to handle many things in his pack. I also told them that he wasn't good at expressing his feelings.I lied to them for so long that I even forgot that I was keeping the truth from them in the first place.I took a deep breath and dialed Mom's number.Mom's voice was as gentle as always. "Are you about to share some good news with me?" she asked. "Is Lucas going to come back with you during the full moon this month?" I remained silent for a long time before I finally said, "We're not going to have a mating ritual anymore, Mom."The air suddenly turned quiet.I br

It was drizzling when the plane touched down on the grassy plains in the south.My phone was bombarded with a barrage of messages when I switched off airplane mode. There were over 30 missed calls.Lucas' messages that started off patient slowly morphed into frantic ones."Where are you, Leah? I told you that I was going to make you my mate. Can you stop being so stubborn? Why did you delete everything on your social media account?"He had sent his last message at 4:00 am."I've learned my lesson, Leah. Please pick up the phone."I couldn't help but feel a little amused as I stared at the words on the screen.Lucas didn't learn his lesson when I was being humiliated by the other wolves in the club, or when he told me that he was still going to let Maria take part in the Moon Goddess' ritual even though he was adamant about making me his mate.He also didn't learn his lesson yet when I discovered that he had been lying to me for three years. He only started feeling scared after

I slept soundly through the night but was jolted awake by the sounds of a commotion outside the estate.Mom stood outside the door. Her voice was low and cold when she hissed, "Leah won't see you. You should leave."I got off the bed, opened the window, and saw Lucas standing outside.Lucas looked like he hadn't gotten a wink of sleep. His hair was an utter mess. There was a panicked look in his eyes as if he was truly afraid of losing me.His eyes lit up when he spotted me, saying, "Come down, Leah. Please let me explain."I looked at him quietly without moving an inch.Lucas looked up at me and said in a low voice, "I rushed here from the north overnight because I wanted to admit that I was wrong. However, I never wanted to hurt you."In the past, my heart would immediately soften whenever Lucas looked at me like that. I would forget that I was the one who got hurt, and I would tell myself that he was just too tired—that he had no other choice.However, at that moment, he fel

Lucas didn't leave immediately. He stood outside the estate for a long time. He sent messages to me, telling me that he had already cut ties with Maria. He also told me that he would compensate me for everything that he owed me as long as I was willing to forgive him.I ignored all of his messages.Alya called me again when the afternoon rolled around. She sounded exhausted. Gone was the arrogance that colored her tone earlier that morning."Are you really going to let things escalate to this point, Leah?" she asked.I sat at the dining table and took a bite out of my freshly baked cake. "I don't see how that has anything to do with me.""Lucas left the north because of you," Alya said. "The pack doesn't have a leader right now. Everyone thinks that Maria's the one who's responsible. She's on the brink of losing her mind. She had no idea that you and Lucas were still together. She's innocent.""So?" I asked calmly.When Alya remained silent on the other end of the line, I contin

I updated my social media account the next morning.I made sure to name Lucas in my post. I didn't show any emotion as I explained everything that had transpired, sparing no detail.I described how I met Lucas when I left the south to study in the north. I also talked about how we fell in love and started living together, how I brought him to meet my parents, and how we discussed potential dates for our mating ritual.I then described how he started dating Maria three years ago. I also presented the evidence of how he openly announced her as his mate on social media, how he got the elders' blessings, and how he told me time and time again to wait a little while more.Finally, I presented the footage from Silvermoon Club.In the video, Lucas said, "I will make you my Luna, but I will allow Maria to participate in the Moon Goddess' ritual to compensate her."After I uploaded everything, I went shopping with Mom and Dad.Mom bought a plushie for me, saying, "You always used to hug

Lucas settled the bills a month later, wiring two separate payments to me. He explained that one of the payments was the money that he owed me. The other one was his compensation to me.However, I didn't need him to compensate me. The past seven years of my life couldn't be measured with money.Alya came to the south to look for me. She stood outside the estate, clutching my favorite sandwich. Her eyes reddened when she saw me, saying, "I'm sorry, Leah. I admit that I was wrong."I recalled how Alya had run across the grassy plains with me when I first arrived in the north. She had told me that she was going to personally hand me over to my mate during my mating ritual.The words that she had spoken to me during our youth were real. Unfortunately, the secrets and betrayal that came after were real too.I smiled as I looked at Alya, saying, "I don't hate you, but I'll never forgive you again."I watched as Alya's eyes lit up for a split second before dimming. I steeled my heart an
