Chapter 2

Auteur: Coco
Ella walked up to me, took my hand, and said coquettishly, “Celine, it’s good that you’re not mad.”

It was then that Leon noticed she wasn’t wearing shoes. He shoved past me and hurried over, lifting her into his arms.

His tone turned urgent and stern.

“You’re not in good health, and you’re running around barefoot? Do you have a death wish?”

A few memories flashed through my mind.

At the start of the month, my heat had been so painful I curled up in bed, begging Leon to help me buy suppressants and painkillers.

However, he’d only frown.

“I’m an Alpha. How can I go out and buy that kind of thing?

“You were the one who dismissed all the servants. And now you expect me to do things for you?

“Every she-wolf goes through this. Just endure it. Why make it such a hassle?”

When I came to myself, Leon was already carrying Ella into the bedroom.

I withdrew my gaze, forcing down the faint ache in my chest. Then I picked up my phone and contacted the Beta who had been trying to recruit me to the North.

After that, a notification popped up that Ella had tagged me.

In the video, a large hand slowly rubbed her lower abdomen.

Her voice played in the background, soft and sweet.

“Alpha Leon, your hands are so warm…”

The caption read: [Alpha feels bad that I’m in pain during my heat, says he’ll help take it all away! Being cared for like this feels amazing.]

I double-tapped to like it, headed to my profile, and removed the background photo of Leon and me.

Today, Betas from other packs were visiting for an exchange.

Most of the handover work still needed me to oversee it, so I led the warriors to the lounge to settle in.

A group followed behind me, and at a glance, they saw Leon inside, feeding Ella at the table.

“Wow, I heard Alpha Leon found his fated mate a long time ago. Didn’t expect them to still be this close!”

“Exactly! Alphas are always the ones being served, but he’s actually feeding his Luna!”

That was right. Since the day he was born, his meals had always been brought to him.

After the servants were dismissed, I took care of everything for him.

And now, he was doing all of that for another she-wolf.

The admiration around me finally reached their ears.

Ella spotted me at the front and immediately pouted, complaining, “Celine, look at Alpha Leon! He insists on making me eat foie gras. I’m getting fat from him feeding me!”

Leon didn’t even look at me. He gently wiped the corner of her mouth.

“Be good. Finish this and drink your milk.”

The chatter around me fell silent. I met their awkward gazes, still smiling as I guided them to their seats.

Once everyone was settled, I took out my phone again and continued arranging my ferry ticket.

At some point, Leon appeared behind me.

He glanced at my screen, his tone puzzled.

“A ferry ticket? Who are you booking that for?”

  • The Final Straw   Chapter 9

    In front of Leon, I linked my hand with Jace’s and stood on the tips of my toes to lightly touch his cheek.The light in Leon’s eyes dimmed, but he still chose to deceive himself.“It’s nothing, Celine. I know you’re just teasing me.”He clutched the bouquet of roses tightly, letting the thorns pierce his palms. The blood-stained petals trembled in his hands. It was a shocking sight, but it didn’t stir even a flicker of feeling in me.I knew someone, some moments, once missed, could never be reclaimed.Jace sensed the tension in my grip and held my hand tighter. His warmth and steadiness gave me courage.I lifted my gaze to meet Leon’s desperate eyes, calm yet distant.“No, Celine. I will show you my sincerity. I will atone!”Blood trickled from his palms, but still I didn’t respond, even as his friends pulled him away.“Sorry, just used you as a shield for a moment,” I apologized to Jace.He smiled softly. “Celine, for you, I’d never mind. I actually hope… that what just h

  • The Final Straw   Chapter 8

    Leon lost the match, but the fallout kept spreading.The afternoon duel wasn’t an official trial, so many spectators livestreamed or uploaded clips.Soon, the entire kingdom saw Leon’s defeat.The war-god image he had maintained for years shattered overnight. Combined with the recent scandal, his and the pack's reputation fell to rock bottom. Many allied packs publicly cut ties.In contrast, Jace became the kingdom’s rising Alpha.As his secretary, I was also approached by many packs seeking cooperation.Looking at the news, I didn’t feel satisfaction, only a quiet sense of irony.That night, when I returned to my apartment, I saw Leon downstairs, crouched by the bushes, drunk.When he saw me, he stood and tried to approach.I instinctively stepped back.Leon froze, then looked up at me, eyes filled with sorrow.“Even you look down on me now, don’t you?”“No. I just don’t want anything to do with you anymore.”After saying that, I tried to walk past him.However, he grabb

  • The Final Straw   Chapter 7

    Every once in a while, the kingdom held combat trials, and every pack had to participate.That day, after the final round ended, I stood at the side of the stage, applauding Jace and the warriors.Onstage, Jace suddenly looked at me. Then he walked toward me, steady and firm.My heartbeat quickened.Before I could figure out what he was doing, he took my hand and led me to the center of the arena.For the first time, because of Jace, I stood on a stage I had longed for five years, receiving thanks.The lights shone down on us, and the audience applauded. At last, I experienced the honor that should have been mine.I mouthed a silent “thank you” to Jace.He only smiled. “You deserve this.”My eyes warmed. As I lowered my gaze to hide it, I caught sight of Leon in the front row with bloodshot eyes, staring at us.The next second, he rushed onto the stage.“Ha. Alpha Jace sure knows how to put on a show. With all this display, you’d think he was that impressive!“If you’re rea

  • The Final Straw   Chapter 6

    When he finally reached me using a friend’s phone, his voice was clearly tired.“Celine, you win.“Because of the scandal you exposed, Ella is completely ruined, and the pack’s development has been affected.“Come back and hold a press conference with me. Then I’ll mark you immediately.“That should satisfy you, right?”For a moment, I wondered if something was wrong with Leon’s brain.How else could he still not understand?I almost laughed from anger.“Leon, we're done.“Just assume I did all of it. We’re over. Stop bothering me!”Jace was beside me. Seeing my expression, he asked with concern.His voice carried through the call, and Leon’s tone instantly turned furious.“Who are you with right now?!“Why is there another wolf’s voice? Is that why you betrayed me?!”I didn’t bother saying another word and hung up.Former colleagues occasionally sent me updates.Leon didn’t even look at the new secretary before firing her.Ella, on the other hand, was suspended by the

  • The Final Straw   Chapter 5

    On the ship, I had the most peaceful sleep I’d ever had.When I arrived at the Northern port, the pack that hired me received me with the highest level of hospitality.“Welcome, Miss Celine!“A talent like you joining us is truly our honor!”Elder Ben spared no praise, and the pack members looked at me with shining eyes.This was something I had never experienced before.Whenever anyone in the pack tried to praise me, Leon would darken his expression without exception.No one wanted to offend him, and I didn’t want to upset him either.Over time, I became invisible in the pack, someone who only drew attention when my name was mentioned alongside Leon’s.Ben introduced me to the Alpha I would be working for.The werewolf extended his hand politely. His face looked somewhat familiar.“Miss Celine, I’m Alpha Jace. I look forward to working with you.”Then I remembered. Many years ago, in the match Leon won as champion, Jace had been the runner-up.Over the years, Jace had tra

  • The Final Straw   Chapter 4

    I was halfway through packing when Leon came back.He tossed a half-full brown bottle at me.“Got you some medicine.”I picked it up. I had seen this bottle before. In Ella’s post, Leon had used it to treat her wound.However, I was allergic to this medicine.When Leon was eighteen, his talent already set him apart.The other werewolves in the pack grew displeased with him and deliberately had rogues to cripple his hands.Back then, I had thrown myself in front of him without a second thought.I was only lightly injured, but a servant used this exact medicine to disinfect my wound.I went into an anaphylactic shock right then and was rushed to the treatment room, only waking up after nearly a full day.The Beta told me later that Leon had spent however long I was there, crying.After that, he flew into a rage. He threw out every bottle of this medicine in the pack and forbade it from ever appearing again.Now, he was the one who broke that rule.I lowered my gaze and tos
