All Chapters of Consequences of Choosing the Wrong Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Leo, my mate, wanted to spend Valentine's Day with Cheryl, his first love, on the night Victor and Vera, his parents, were abducted.But this time, instead of stopping him, I contacted the Werewolf Enforcement Bureau to help.After all, when I tried to stop him in the last life, Cheryl ended up dying a horrific death, her heart gouged out by the Feral Rogues, a group of werewolf gangsters.I woke from my nightmare, reborn to the day my father-in-law and mother-in-law were abducted.Leo Ulric, my mate, was holding a bouquet and about to leave the house when the Feral Rogues, the ones responsible for my in-laws' abduction, called."We have Victor Ulric and Vera Wolfram. Bring 4,125,000 dollars to the Moonshines Winery in two hours. Notify the Enforcement Bureau, and I'll gouge their hearts out!" yelled the abductor through the phone's loudspeaker.Leo stopped immediately and looked at me, a sneer twisting his face. "You got Mom and Dad to cook this up just to stop me from spending Valent

Flashes of the pain Vera must have been enduring flooded my mind. She was so intolerant to discomfort that she couldn't even drink a hot beverage without someone cooling it for her.Just as I took a deep breath to calm myself, my phone buzzed again—Kael was calling.Before I could ask if he had managed to gather the ransom money, he yelled, "How could you come up with such a heinous lie just because Victor and Vera Fondness you?!"I swear I was about to have a heart attack if Leo hadn't told me the truth!"My heart sank."Did Leo really say I made all of this up?" I asked, barely able to form the words.Kael sighed. "I know you're angry at Leo for not spending Valentine's Day with you, but he's already bonded to you for life. It's just one day—why can't you let it go and let him be?""Kael, this has nothing to do with Valentine's Day!" I snapped. "Victor and Vera have been abducted!""Lyra, please…" His tone softened, but his disbelief was palpable. "You really mustn't lie about things

The sheriffs took me back to the bureau, worried that I might be next on the Feral Rogues' target list.There, the sheriff in charge of the autopsy reported that multiple abductors had been at the scene, based on the evidence gathered. However, only one had been arrested.After they finished collecting the evidence, I contacted a mortuary to make arrangements for my in-laws' funeral.As usual, Leo was nowhere to be seen or heard, so I called his close friends and family to inform them of their passing.But I didn't inform Kael, who furiously called me when he heard the news, probably from his relatives. "This is outrageous, Lyra! You've not only lied to me but to all our relatives as well! Everyone's asking me how Leo's parents are!"I can't believe this is how you repay us… After everything we've done to take care of you! You even lied about their hearts being gouged out? How vicious can you get?!" he thundered.I waited until Kael finished before replying, "I'm at the bureau.

Leo's face turned pale, but it was Cheryl who spoke first. "Why are you cursing them, Lyra? How could you say something so cruel?"I never knew you were such a vicious woman. And to think they love you so much... Are you really going to forget all of that just like that?"I glanced at Cheryl, then turned to Leo, who was seething with rage. "Haven't you had enough of this farce, Lyra?"Still calm, I repeated, "Are you going to attend or not?"Amidst his fury, Leo shoved me and yelled, "Enough! I can't stand you anymore, you madwoman! You need to see a psychiatrist!"I decided to let his violent outburst slide. After all, it was his parents who had died, not mine."In any case, I've already informed you about their funeral. I'm going to implement the financial agreement and hold the ceremony to annul our bond in a week," I told him.I turned to leave, while Cheryl picked up the agreement that had slipped out of my bag and landed by the side of the bed."Are you crazy, Lyra?! It s

I began preparing for Victor and Vera's funeral after Cheryl was taken away.I went to the cemetery, purchased a casket for each of them, and arranged for them to be buried side by side.Next, I coordinated their funeral date with the shaman.Once everything was in place, I sent out their obituary to relatives and friends, informing them of the funeral date.-Two days before the funeral, I received a phone call from the mortuary."Ma'am, Mr. Leo has been here for the past few days. Could you please come take him home? It's becoming difficult for us to work with him here."-I went to the mortuary, where I found Leo lying on the floor in a pitiful state. His eyes were bloodshot, and his hair had turned completely white. There was also a scar on his forehead, likely from repeatedly banging his head against something.The staff member whispered, "He was devastated when he saw their bodies. Afterward, he began banging his head against the wall like a madman until he started ble
