Chapter 8

作者: Sylva.G
Luke's body locked rigid at the officer's words. His wolf - normally a raging storm beneath his skin - went utterly still, as if struck by lightning.

With a strangled roar, Luke lunged at the policeman, fingers twisting in the uniform fabric. "You're wrong!"

His voice shattered the station walls.

"Emma can't be dead! She was perfectly healthy! Check again!"

The officer remained stone-faced, extending the death certificate like a death sentence.

"See for yourself. Official records show Emma Blackwood died four days ago in Shadow Pack territory. Her personal lawyer verified everything."

Luke's knees gave out before the officer finished speaking.

He hit the concrete floor hard, his entire body convulsing with silent sobs.

Behind him, Dad's voice turned feral.

"This is forged!" He snatched the documents, claws shredding the edges as he searched for any inconsistency.

"My daughter doesn't have a lawyer! Who produced these lies?"

Mom collapsed like a marionette with cut strings, her wails

  • The Moonlight of Betrayal   Chapter 11

    Time passed quietly, and before he knew it, two years had gone by. Luke returned home from work and sank into the sofa, his gaze drifting to the photo of me on the coffee table. I smiled softly in the frame, serene and gentle—yet to him, it felt like a lifetime ago. Had he ever truly had her love? Or had he simply taken it for granted, never realizing its worth until it was gone? He closed his eyes. At first, the pain of losing his mate had been bearable—a dull ache, easy to ignore. But with time, it had settled over him like snow, layer after layer, until it hardened into ice, crushing him beneath its weight. Now, even breathing felt like a struggle. The front door opened—Jim was home. Now in middle school, he had more homework than ever. He barely glanced at him before heading to his room. "Wait." Luke sat up. "Your teacher called. She said you’ve been… playing games in class." His voice tightened. "You should be focusing on school. You failed in the exam for m

    The documents hit the floor with a thunderous crack as my father hurled them down, his entire body trembling with barely-contained rage. Crimson veins spiderwebbed across his bloodshot eyes, the pupils dilated with a terrifying mixture of heartbreak and murderous intent.Fiona - that venomous serpent - had methodically exploited my naive compassion during my most vulnerable years. Piece by calculated piece, she'd dismantled his daughter's entire world while he, blind fool that he was, had actually facilitated the destruction.The realization struck like a physical blow: he'd personally ushered this monstrous impostor into their lives, allowing her to systematically evict his own flesh and blood. And when I had drawn her final, agonized breath...He'd been too late. Too late to apologize. Too late to hold her. Too late to save her."God damn you!" The anguished roar erupted from somewhere deep in his soul as his knees gave way. Fingers tore at his hair like an uncontrollable wolf

  • The Moonlight of Betrayal   Chapter 9

    Luke had been drowning himself in wine at home ever since he learned of my death. Jim, too, was overwhelmed with grief when his father broke the news. He had no idea how to console Luke, who was consumed by regret and sorrow. In his drunken rage, Luke slammed and shattered everything in sight. Jim was also eaten alive by guilt—haunted by the harsh words he’d said to me before I collapsed. Tears welled up in his eyes as the crushing reality set in: he would never see me again. Then—the phone rang, shattering the silence. Luke ignored it, gripping the bottle tighter. Nothing could pull him away from the alcohol—his only escape from a world that had taken me from him. By the tenth ring, his patience snapped. Before he could even speak, a cold voice cut through: "Is it Luke, Emma’s mate?" At the sound of my name, he sobered instantly. The voice remained icy. "This is Alice, Emma’s lawyer. Bring your documents and come see me immediately. And gather her family—Kane, Fiona,

    Mom stared blankly at the infirmary wall, only jerking back to reality when her mate shouted her name for the third time. "What's wrong with you?" Dad asked in a hurry, his voice cracking. Mom blinked as if fighting off a trance. "Did you get through to Emma yet?" Dad's face twisted. "Still fucking switched off for two whole days!" He ground his temples with calloused fingers. "You know she'd never—" Mom's nails drew crescent moons in her palms. The scene burned behind her eyelids: Emma signing the transfer documents, shoving Jim into Fiona's arms... then disappearing into thin air. Then she totally disappeared.Their little she-wolf never stayed out overnight before. Never let a call go unanswered. No, their Emma must meet some problems.Panic clawed up mom’s throat as her wolf whimpered in her chest—a primal dread she couldn’t outrun.

    Fiona's knuckles turned white as she stabbed at her phone screen, redialing for the tenth time. Each unanswered ring sent another spike of panic through her veins.Click. "The number you have dialed is currently—""Fucking bitch!" Her scream shattered the infirmary's sterile calm, scattering nearby visitors like startled birds. That pathetic Emma - the mouse who never fought back - had somehow outmaneuvered her.Her breath came in short, panicked bursts.Without the money, David would expose everything. The forged medical records. The "accidentally" switched medications. The night she'd watched Emma’s grandfather choke on his tea and done nothing.Then - salvation. Kane. Luke. Her devoted puppets.Wiping her face clean of fury, Fiona slipped back into her carefully crafted mask of fragility and hailed a taxi.Twenty minutes later, the infirmary door swung open to reveal mom and dad, with Kane and Luke following like obedient shadows."Mom!
