After graduation, I spent a year apprenticing under my mentor in the neutral lands, where there were no packs, no laws, and no one to protect me. My sister, Evelina Duskbane, the Lycan Chairwoman, nearly lost her mind over it. She was terrified I would fall for some Rogue and recklessly form a mate bond. So before I could decide anything for myself, she approved an arranged match for me. Seris Thornhart, the only daughter of Alpha Alaric Thornhart of Frostfang, the strongest pack in Northmere. Beautiful, dangerous, and legendary. Then Evelina ordered me home for the mating ceremony, leaving me no choice but to visit the finest ceremonial motor house in the city and select a wedding car worthy of the occasion. The moment I stepped inside, my eyes went straight to a silver wedding car with a black crest worked into the bodywork. Just as I reached for the reservation tag beside it, a lazy male voice cut in. "I like the one he's chosen. I'll take it. Hand it over." Before I could react, the clerk snatched the tag from my hand, nearly scraping my skin. I straightened and forced myself to stay calm. "Ever heard of first come, first served? I saw it first. Is this how you do business here?" The male wolf turned to me with a mocking look. "That car costs three hundred thousand dollars. You sure you can afford it, peasant? I grew up with Lady Seris Thornhart. Around here, I make the rules." I stared at him, almost amused. What a coincidence. Seris Thornhart just happened to be the woman chosen for me. I pulled out my phone and called her. "Seris, your precious childhood friend just took the wedding car for our mating procession. What do you think I should do about that?"

They Chose the Wrong Man Chapter 10
The hall was filled with nothing but the ragged sound of Seris and Dorian's sobs. After a long moment, I finally set my cup down.The sharp clink of porcelain against wood cut through the silence. Both of them fell quiet at once. They looked at me with dread in their eyes, but beneath it was something worse. Hope.I smiled faintly, though there was no warmth in my voice."If Evelina had not arrived in time that day, would either of you have spared me?"The question landed hard. They froze, faces draining of color, but neither could answer.I turned my gaze to Dorian."You always wanted to stand beside Frostfang's future ruler, didn't you? To rise above everyone else in the room. To become the man at Seris's side."He gave a small, shaky nod before he could stop himself.Then I looked at Seris."And you. You turned against the man chosen for you and let him humiliate me, all because you indulged him. You must have cared for him deeply."Seris shook her head at once. "No. I just...""It

Evelina and I were having coffee in Frostfang's council hall. The air was thick with tension. Off to one side, Alpha Alaric Thornhart stood motionless, rigid as stone.Time dragged until footsteps broke the silence.Two Gamma warriors entered, dragging in what was left of Seris and Dorian.For a moment, something like pain crossed Alaric's face when he saw his daughter. It vanished almost at once, replaced by fear and cold fury.He did not move to help her.Instead, he strode forward, seized Seris by the back of the neck, and forced her down in front of me."You disgrace," he said through clenched teeth. "Apologize."Before Seris could speak, Alaric drove a hard punch into her face. Then another. Blood spilled from her mouth and dripped onto the floor."Do it," he barked. "Apologize to Mr. Ashford."Seris was too broken to resist. Whatever pride had once held her upright had already been beaten out of her in Silver Cell. She could only kneel there and endure it.When Alaric finally sto

After the two pack leaders left, peace finally returned to the hall.I was about to open my book again when one of the guards entered, looking uneasy."Mr. Ashford, the clerk from the motor house is outside. He says he has come to confess and begs to see you, no matter what."I blinked, then remembered that arrogant clerk.Evelina glanced at me with faint amusement. "Let him in. I'd like to hear what kind of confession he thinks will save him."A moment later, the clerk stumbled inside. He nearly crawled across the floor before dropping to his knees in front of me, shaking so hard he could barely speak."Forgive me, Mr. Ashford," he cried. "I was blind. I failed to recognize you. Please, have mercy and spare my worthless life."He fumbled a heavy pouch from inside his coat and held it out with both hands."This is everything I've saved over the years. Please accept it. Please forgive me."It was hard to believe this trembling man was the same clerk who had looked down on me in the moto

A week later, I finished recovering at the Moon Goddess Temple and returned to Frostfang.By then, nearly every werewolf in the country had heard the story of Frostfang's heiress making the worst mistake possible. She had offended the beloved brother of the Lycan Chairwoman, the highest authority in the werewolf world.For days, every pack had been watching in silence, afraid of taking the wrong side.Evelina and I were temporarily working out of Frostfang's council hall, which had, for all intents and purposes, become the country's temporary center of power.That afternoon, I was sitting by the window with a book in hand when a Gamma warrior entered and bowed."Lycan Chairwoman, Mr. Ashford, the Alphas of Crimson Hollow and Nightfang request an audience."I glanced at Evelina. She sat at the head of the hall with her eyes closed, looking completely at ease. Without opening them, she said lazily, "Let them in."Soon, two imposing figures stepped inside, followed by attendants carrying

The moment I saw Evelina, everything I had been holding back finally cracked. Rage. Humiliation. Pain."Eva."She crossed the room in seconds. Her eyes swept over my bruised face, then dropped to my injured hand. The instant she saw the swelling around my knuckles, her expression turned frighteningl

I had heard from Evelina that Alpha Alaric Thornhart had paid a steep price just to secure this arrangement. If he ever learned his daughter had ruined it with her own hands, the fallout ought to be worth watching.That thought steadied me enough that I stopped wasting energy on the fools around me.

In all my years, this was the first time I had met someone arrogant enough to posture in front of me like that. Amused, I tilted my head and asked evenly, "What was it you wanted me to do? I didn't catch it the first time."Dorian sneered."Deaf too? Fine. I said kneel, lower your head, and admit yo
