Semua Bab Stole My Mate, Lost Her Name: Bab 1 - Bab 10

"I'll go with you. Been meaning to check in with the fam anyway."Jack paused. "If you're sure... fine. We'll drop the gift and bounce right after."The banquet hall buzzed with smiles and back-pats."Rose, you're stunning and genius-level. Chief Healer-to-be and now with pup? Congrats!"Rose soaked it in, standing dead center like the Moon Goddess herself. Right beside her? A lit-up crystal case showing off her latest potion.[A groundbreaking serum by Ms. Rose Howell boosts werewolf combat strength by 50% and blocks 99% of viral threats. She's the healer of the century. Endorsed by: Professor Jack Sterling.]I stared at Jack's name under her glory plaque and bit back a laugh. He dodged every time I asked for a symposium rec. Guess he was just saving it for her."Wyettta? Home already? Clinic too slow for you?" Her voice oozed fake-sweet. She actually flinched when she spotted me—then covered it with a glare.I tuned her out and stared at the description again. Then the ingred

Jack froze. "No. We were supposed to watch the sunrise. She was fine. She wouldn't do this. It doesn't make sense!"Tony treaded carefully. "The restaurant staff said... Wyettta didn't look right before the gondola. Like something was heavy on her."Jack shook his head. "She said she'd wait. She wouldn't ride up alone."Tony hesitated. "They also said... she called you. Multiple times. But a she-wolf answered. Then your phone went dead." His eyes flicked toward Rose.Jack's gaze snapped to her—eyes glowing red. "What did you say to her? Why was my phone off?"Rose put on a hurt look. "I just told her you were helping me with something. Maybe the phone died... or I hit it by accident. It's not my fault."Jack didn't respond."Get the best search squad," he growled. "Sweep the entire canyon. We dig if we have to. I'm not leaving without her."Tony handed him Wyettta's necklace and a ripped piece of her coat.Jack gripped them tight, face locked down, eyes dark.Silvernorth Medi

After I hung up, curiosity got the better of me. What does it actually look like when karma hits back?I started scrolling through articles on Rose and Jack.Headline after headline lit up my screen:[Top Healer Exposed for Fraud—Fall from Grace][Celibate Professor Cheats with Pregnant Sister-in-Law][Jack Sterling: Esteemed Scholar or Privileged Manipulator]Clicked one. Images loaded.Rose was wrecked—living in the slums. No clinic would touch her after the family disowned her. Her apartment door was tagged with "homewrecker" and "shameless thief."In another clip, Jack showed up to a disciplinary hearing in a spotless suit—just to get grilled for academic fraud and moral failure. Council elders demanded he step down as lead mentor.The comment section was savage:[Being a professor doesn't erase your sins!][He teamed up with a mated she-wolf to destroy his own mate. Straight-up monster.][That homewrecker was his sister-in-law—and pregnant? He still cheated? Trash.]I

"Shut up! I'm gonna kill you!" Rose lunged, pure fury in motion."You think becoming Chief Healer means you've won? Dream on!" she snarled. "You don't get to walk away clean. I'm gonna rip it all away—like you did to me!"Her eyes blazed red. Fangs out. Claws swinging like she'd already lost control."You can hate me all you want," I said, voice cool. "But don't you dare scare my students."I stepped forward."Let's take this outside.""Outside?" she laughed, bitter and cracked. "You think you can tell me what to do? I lost everything—my healer title, my mate rejected me, my parents cast me out—and even Jack..."She clutched her chest like it physically hurt, then shot me a look full of poison."You really think that means you've won?"No warning. She grabbed a pair of scissors off the floor and lunged.A few girls screamed. Chaos cracked through the room."If you're here to cause trouble, stop now, or you'll regret it," I warned, pulling the students behind me. "This is a s

Rose's words yanked me back to reality."Jack," I said, voice low, "pretend I really did die. It's the only way we both move on.""No, Wyettta," he pleaded. "Hit me. Curse me. Hate me—but don't vanish again. Please... come back with me.""We were a mistake from the start," I said, fury burning in my chest. "I was never the one you wanted. I won't be anyone's backup plan.""It's my fault. I was blind. Losing you—it showed me. You were the only one who ever mattered.""I want you dead, Wyettta!"Rose broke free—snatched a shard of glass and charged.I didn't even have time to move.Jack leapt between us.The glass sank straight into his lower back."She's with another wolf and you still protect her?" Rose screamed.Mr. Zane and the guards slammed her down."Enough," Jack growled. "I don't want to hear another word from you."Rose blinked like she'd been slapped. Then snapped all over again."No! You love me! You're SUPPOSED to love me!"Mr. Zane just gave the order. She wa
