Semua Bab Stand-In Luna: The Alpha's Real Mate: Bab 11 - Bab 20

The forensic officer brought in a special powder made of lunar dust, designed specifically to identify werewolf fingerprints. After a series of meticulous procedures, he cleared his throat and respectfully reported, “Based on our findings, Miss Smith’s fingerprints were indeed found on the ring.”My heart dropped. I frowned slightly.My fingerprints? How’s that possible?I never even touched that ring.This officer was summoned by Alpha Nick. Logically speaking, he wouldn’t have been bribed by Rina. That leaves only one possibility—Rina somehow got my fingerprints when I wasn’t paying attention.When did that happen?Right—the ten-million-dollar prepaid credit card in the restroom!What a calculated setup.All those high-tier werewolf genes, and she’s using them for tricks like this.“Wendy, now that we have the results, and your fingerprints are on my ring—what else do you have to say?” Rina’s lips curled into a smug smile.“Director Tim, this Miss Smith stole my ring.” Rina pointed

I furrowed my brows, secretly making up my mind—if Alpha Nick had any bad intentions, I wouldn’t hold back. I wasn’t someone to be messed with!“Check for yourself and see what you dropped,” Alpha Nick said, his tone sounding oddly amused.I blinked in confusion and glanced around. That’s when I realized the undergarments I’d brought to change into were missing!Oh Moon Goddess!They must’ve slipped out in my rush earlier.Did Alpha Nick pick them up?I felt my face flush as I tiptoed to the bathroom door and cracked it open just a sliver, sticking my head out. “Uh… I dropped something just now—can you give it back?”Alpha Nick’s eyes darkened slightly, a mysterious curve tugging at his lips. His well-defined hand extended toward me. “Be careful next time. Try not to drop anything else.”“Thanks!” I quickly grabbed the item from his hand but accidentally brushed against his fingers in the process.His palm was hot—scorching, even. My cheeks went up in flames as I hurriedly slammed the

Rina stared at me with a trace of provocation in her eyes, her gaze fixed tightly on mine.She must’ve spent quite some effort on Mrs. Johnson these past few days. Now, she was probably trying to gain some sort of superiority over me in hopes of impressing the former Alpha of the Brown Pack.Unfortunately for her, she didn’t know that from the moment she presented her gift, the retired Alpha had already taken a dislike to her.“I didn’t prepare anything special,” I replied calmly.A flicker of disdain flashed in Rina’s eyes, as if to say, Just as I thought.But I merely smiled. From the side pocket of my bag, I took out a rolled-up painting and handed it to Mr. Johnson with a gentle smile. “Mr. Johnson, this is a Renaissance oil painting. Our Pack’s old Alpha Tim asked me to deliver it on his behalf.”Mr. Johnson’s eyes lit up with surprise. He accepted the painting and examined it carefully. “Please extend my thanks to your Pack’s old Alpha Tim.”Rina stared at the painting in disbel

I stepped out of the fitting room in a perfectly tailored gown and stood in front of the full-length mirror, admiring myself.The off-shoulder design revealed my alluring collarbones, and the mermaid silhouette hugged my tall figure in all the right places, accentuating my graceful curves. The shimmering moonstones embedded in the fabric were simply breathtaking.Elegant, refined, poised—yet with a playful hint of seduction. Stunning enough to make anyone stare.No surprise there. I was born to turn heads.Not far away, Rina pointed at me in outrage and barked at the sales associate, “I’m buying that dress! Wrap it up for me!”The sales associate looked conflicted. “But… that lady just said she was going to buy it.”Rina snapped, “Did she pay for it?”The sales associate hesitated. “Well… no, not yet.”“Then it’s not hers,” Amy chimed in obsequiously, pointing at Rina and rolling her eyes at the associate. “Open your eyes. This is Miss Taylor of the Taylor Pack. She might even be the

That sudden kiss left me both flustered and furious. Alpha Nick was so domineering.His scent enveloped me—and to my dismay, I actually found it… a little pleasant.I could barely breathe, my heart pounding wildly. I wanted to push him away, but part of me, inexplicably, didn’t want to.The air in the restroom grew warmer and heavier…My mind went blank. Then, as the jade bracelet on my wrist heated up, clarity returned to me. I seized the moment and bit down hard on Alpha Nick’s lip.The sharp taste of blood spread instantly. Alpha Nick winced in pain and finally let me go.I could finally breathe again!Gulping down several breaths of air, I smacked my burning cheeks and glared at him through gritted teeth. “Alpha Nick, you bastard!”His expression darkened. Those deep, unreadable eyes were fixed intently on me.He reached up to wipe the blood from his lips, his mouth curving into a cold smirk. “Louis isn’t right for you.”What kind of nonsense was that?!I was speechless. I only ev
