Lahat ng Kabanata ng Giving Him to Someone Who Wants Him: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

I shook as I hid behind a tree near the old altar. I quietly watched Anderson, my Alpha mate. He held a shiny silver crown, the one meant for a Luna and gave it to Leah. Leah's eyes shone with happy tears. She lowered her head, and Anderson put the crown on it. Right after the crown was placed, Anderson held her tightly. They kissed lovingly in front of everyone. The long, hot kiss lasted a full twenty minutes. Leah, with a red face and out of breath, gently patted him. Only then did he stop and smile.A cold wind blew, moving the hanging branches. I then saw that my whole pack was there under the bright moonlight.My younger brother, Rhys, the one I used to protect, was standing in the center of the ceremony. He was leading it. He wore a robe with the pack's symbol on it. His eyes were full of love for his stepsister, Leah.A long time ago, Rhys and I had barely lived through the pain Leah and our stepmother, Maryanne Swift, caused us at the place where we were punished. Th

Even as Anderson spoke sweetly to me, he still didn't pull his arm away from Leah's body. I averted my gaze and said flatly, "It's fine."An avalanche had just occurred, leaving many people injured. I couldn't bring myself to celebrate amidst their suffering. My uncharacteristic calm made them uncomfortable. Rhys let out a mocking laugh. "Irene, drop the act. This isn't a stage for your fantasy. Everyone knows you're the one desperate to be Alpha's little pet, even trying to trap him with a pregnancy. Changing your persona now won't make you any nobler. Even if you are pregnant, you're still worthless compared to Leah."He was just as childish and stupid, completely oblivious to how I had changed. Anderson grew impatient after my rejection. His face darkened as he scolded me harshly, "I wasn't planning to call you out on your endless need for control, but why did you have to follow us here? We don't have time for your games. Leah is shaken from the avalanche. She needs peace, and

Leah's name finally brought Anderson back to his senses. He forced a semblance of happiness onto his face, tearing his gaze away from the filthy gift box. He followed Rhys to Leah's residence, his mind in turmoil. On the way, Rhys told him to buy a bouquet of roses, eagerly anticipating the delighted smile on Leah's face. As they approached the house, a sharp, dangerous scent assaulted their nostrils. Through the slightly open door, they saw Leah, who claimed to be weak and poisoned by wolfsbane, drinking strong liquor while twirling a forbidden item in her hand—a stalk of wolfsbane. Across from her, her parents looked smug.Maryanne, who was my stepmother, wore a greedy smile as she counted the treasures Anderson had sent."No one in the world is smarter than you," she said. "All you had to do was claim you were poisoned, and Anderson would agree to anything you asked for."An Alpha so blind that he didn't even realize the poisoning was fake… Should I say you're too brilliant, o

Rhys opened his mouth but couldn't say a word. At last, he didn't even have the strength to kneel. He collapsed to the ground with despair and regret, sobbing endlessly. He tore at his own fur in madness, ripping it out until he bled, yet he seemed numb to the pain. I had nothing more to say to him. Just as I turned to leave, I heard his stubborn voice behind me. "It doesn't matter if you forgive me or not, Irene. You're my only family."No matter what, I will always stand by your side. Even if it costs me my life, I will protect you."His tone was firm, just like when he once swore to protect Leah. I didn't care anymore. I was busy attending my best friend's marking ceremony. When everyone else was encouraged by Leah to bully me, she was the only one who reached out to help me. Over the past few days, I had picked up scattered bits of news about Leah's family from the pack. My father had only married my mother to latch onto her family's wealth. Once my grandparents passed away, he

Someone greeted me and pulled me back to reality. He was pleasantly surprised to see me return and asked how I had been. I told him about my experiences in Icebourne, and he couldn't stop expressing his admiration. Under his expectant and reverent gaze, I erased the last trace of emotion I had left for Anderson. I strode forward.The sky was bright and clear, just like the life I had ahead of me.Three years later, I had risen to become a renowned healer, sought after by alphas from packs far and wide. More and more wolves were healed by my hands, and in gratitude, they swore to protect me. For years, I continued to make significant contributions to werewolf medicine. I traveled through the forbidden jungles of Viremont, explored the Eternal Night Wastes of Nordhollow, and even witnessed a Blood Moon gathering of werewolves deep in the Ashen Dunes. I discovered more potent healing methods, bringing countless wolves back from the brink of death.By the time I finished my work for the
