His knuckles went white around the report. He shot out of the villa and ran all the way to the hospital.

The VIP room door was slightly ajar. Derek stood outside, and Camilla's laughter drifted out.

"I already heard Chloe's gone. That contract really came in handy, hahaha. Finally got that eyesore out of the way."

"Poisoned? Please. I dabbed some powder on my own wound. Hurt like hell, sure, but look—worth it, right?"

"Derek's such an idiot. He bought the whole thing. He even made Chloe test the

    The moment the blade went in, the wound hissed and began to blacken, rotting at the edges."Derek!"Arthur came charging from the mouth of the alley, pinning Camilla to the muddy ground.She was still screaming, her voice raw. "Let me go! I'm going to kill Chloe!""Derek, you deserve to die too! We'll all die together! We'll all burn in hell!"Camilla was completely insane. But nobody was listening anymore.Derek pulled the dagger from his shoulder and let it clatter to the ground. He staggered, then grabbed my wrist and checked me from head to toe.Once. Twice. Again.When he was sure I was unharmed, the man who never cried went red around the eyes."You scared me," he rasped, managing a broken smile as blood ran down his arm. "Thank God... I made it.""Why are you still following me?" I pulled my hand away."I am. I've been following you the whole time." He didn't deny it. "I was afraid you'd hate me, so I kept my distance. Just watched from afar—watched you close up shop, watched yo

  • The Day the Contract Ended, He Lost Her Forever   Chapter 7

    (Chloe's POV)I stopped in a small seaside town.Nobody here knew the Luna. Nobody cared who the Alpha's mate was.I used the money I'd saved over the years to rent a small storefront and open a flower shop.Arranging bouquets, trimming stems, misting the eustomas. Working until I passed out at night—for the first time in six years, I didn't need sleeping pills to fall asleep.The flower farmer next door was a gentle human named Arthur. His eyes crinkled when he smiled.He always happened to pass by when I was carrying pots. He'd leave me a bundle of fresh baby's breath after closing time. He remembered I was allergic to lilies and never put them in my orders."Chloe," he said one day, "your eyes are beautiful. But they look tired. If you ever need a break, my greenhouse is always open."I didn't say yes to anything. But that evening, I sat in his greenhouse until the sun went down.Life was calm, like the sea after the tide goes out.I thought it would stay like that.On the fifth day

I dabbed some powder on my own wound. Hurt like hell, sure, but look—worth it, right?""Derek's such an idiot. He bought the whole thing. He even made Chloe test the antidote. Shame I didn't get to see her drink it—the healer said she was writhing on the floor in agony. So pathetic.""Once I'm healed, I'll figure out how to make him fall for me. Then I'll be Luna.""Yeah, that's the plan. Once I'm Luna—"Derek's blood went cold.So the pure and innocent act was for his benefit.The tears were props. The fragility was a script.He kicked the door open.The crash made Camilla drop her phone in shock."D-Derek?" Her face drained of color. She babbled, "How muc

    (Third Person POV)A few days later.Camilla had finally recovered under the healers' careful watch after taking the antidote."Derek, going through all this made me realize my true feelings for you. I like you...""A woman like Chloe doesn't deserve you. Are you really going to stay with her?"Derek's expression hardened. His voice turned cold."Camilla, from the very first day you came to work for me, I told you—my mate will only ever be Chloe.""If you bring this up again, whatever relationship we have ends here."Camilla felt like a hand had squeezed her heart. Her nails dug into her palms, and something vicious flickered behind her eyes.Then her face crumpled, tears threatening to spill as she wrapped her arms around his waist. "No, I didn't mean it like that. I don't want the Luna's position. I just want to be with you forever..."Derek looked down at her pale face.For the first time, what rose in his chest wasn't tenderness. It was irritation.An image flashed through his mind

    When I opened my eyes again, cold water hit my face.The iron door was open. The light burned my eyes.The butler stood at the entrance with two guards, his face grim."Luna, Miss Camilla has been poisoned. The Alpha requests your presence."I could barely stand. The guards half-dragged me upstairs.The master bedroom reeked of medicine. Camilla lay pale in bed, her lips tinged an unnatural blue. She was barely breathing.Derek stood beside her, his eyes so red they looked like they'd bleed."Why did you do this to Camilla? You know wolfbane is lethal to werewolves. How could you poison her?""I didn't!" I said, my voice sharp.He threw a bundle of wolfbane leaves at my feet. "The guards found this in your room. The evidence is right here. How much longer are you going to lie?"The healer was urging him from the side. "Alpha, we can't wait any longer. Miss Camilla is in critical condition. The only option is to fight poison with poison, but the antidote might be harmful to werewolves.

    "No!"My eyes went wide with terror. I wanted to beg Derek, to plead with him.But he just waved his hand impatiently. "Take her away."The guards dragged me through the hall and threw me into the underground storage room.The heavy iron door slammed shut behind me. The last sliver of light vanished.Suddenly, I was drowning in pitch-black darkness. And with it came the memories.In our second year of marriage, the rival Bloodmoon Pack had kidnapped me.They locked me in a stone cell with no windows, no fire, no light at all. They demanded a ransom from the Thorn Pack, threatening to use my blood in some dark ritual.I spent seven days in that suffocating darkness. No light. No sound. No way out.I clawed my nails bloody. I screamed until my voice gave out. But no light ever came.On the seventh day, Derek destroyed the Bloodmoon Pack. He broke through the cell door covered in blood, knelt in front of me, and spoke to me in a voice I'd never heard from him before, so gentle it broke my
