Semua Bab Alpha's Fake Matebond: Bab 1 - Bab 10

My destined Alpha, so he could be with his mistress Vivian out in the open, faked losing his mate-sense for me after an "attack."He sneered that I couldn't leave him, that even if I knew the truth, I’d just meekly give up my Luna title and stay in the pack, swallowing my pride.But little did they know, I had a huge "surprise" cooked up for them, just waiting for them to walk right into my trap."There's a problem with the mate bond between Sophia and me," Ethan announced, having gathered all the key pack members in the meeting room.Beta Marcus frowned. "Alpha, what do you mean by that?""I've lost my mate-sense for Sophia," Ethan said, slowly and clearly. "Instead, I feel a true mate connection with Vivian."I kept my face perfectly still, like I was listening to a story about someone else.Vivian squeezed Ethan's hand, tears welling in her eyes. "We didn't expect this either, but the mate bond is the Moon Goddess's will. We can't fight it.""So," Ethan took a deep breath, "from tod

Three days after moving out of the pack house, I rented an apartment downtown.No Alpha pressure, no pack duties, no endless healing. For the first time, I actually felt some peace and quiet.I was on my balcony, enjoying a coffee, when my phone rang."Sophia!" Marcus sounded frantic. "You have to come back!""What's up?" I asked, not really caring."The full moon ceremony! The full moon's in four days, and..." His voice was shaking. "The preparations are a disaster!"I almost laughed."Not my problem, Marcus. You guys have a new Luna.""But Vivian doesn't know what she's doing! The herbs for the sacred ritual, the blessing chants, how to even speak to the Moon Goddess... she's clueless!""And what does she have to say about it?"Marcus paused. "She says she'll learn... but we only have four days! Sophia, if the full moon ceremony fails, the whole pack will lose the Moon Goddess's blessing!"I took a sip of my coffee. "Yeah, that does sound pretty bad.""So, will you come back and help

I froze."What?"Vivian realized she’d let something slip and looked at Ethan, flustered."You've messed up healing rituals before?" I pressed."Th-that was just an accident..." Vivian stammered.A memory flashed in my mind.Two years ago, a bad infection swept through the pack. I was away at a medical conference, and the pack needed urgent treatment.By the time I got back, three pack members were dead, and a dozen more were seriously ill.Ethan told me it was because "some trainee healer used the wrong potion formula."That trainee healer was kicked out immediately, and no one ever mentioned her name again.The Elder Council chewed me out, saying the tragedy was due to my "lack of oversight." My Luna rank was dropped a level, and it took me a whole six months to get it back."It was you." I looked at Vivian. "That trainee healer two years ago, that was you."Vivian’s face went pale. "I...""You mixed up the silver root and wolfs bane, turning the potion into poison." I walked towards

Ethan's voice, laced with Alpha command, boomed behind me.I stopped and slowly turned around."You think your Alpha command still works on me?" I sneered. "We broke the mate bond, remember?"Ethan's face changed, and he reined in his aura. "That's not what I meant...""Then what did you mean?" I looked him straight in the eye. "Using your Alpha power to force your ex-mate to obey?""I just want you to think about the pack!" Ethan's voice rose. "You can't be this selfish! So many lives are on the line, and you only care about some human's wedding?""Selfish?" His words ticked me off. "Ethan, who are you to call me selfish?"Vivian walked over then, looking smug. "That's right. As the former Luna, you have to help the pack through this crisis. It's your duty!""Duty?" I looked at Vivian. "Excuse me, current Luna, that's your duty, not mine.""But I don't know how..." Vivian said, as if it were obvious."That's your problem," I cut her off. "If you don't know how, then learn. If you're n

"Sophia, I know you're still angry, but..." Ethan started."Angry?" I scoffed. "Ethan, you think what I'm feeling right now is anger?"He looked taken aback. "Then what is it?""Indifference," I said calmly. "I'm completely indifferent to your pack.""That's impossible!" Ethan said, agitated. "This is your home, we're your family!""Family?" I scanned the room. "When I needed support, where was this family?"Everyone looked down."Sophia, we admit we were wrong," Elder Grace said. "But now isn't the time to settle personal grudges. The whole pack is facing extinction!""Personal grudges?" I walked towards her. "Elder Grace, you think betrayal and deception are just 'personal grudges'?""I didn't mean it like that...""You run this pack into the ground, and then you expect me to save it." I cut her off. "Do you think I'm obligated to do that?""What good does it do you if the pack falls apart?" Ethan asked angrily. "These people are innocent!"I looked at him and couldn't help but laugh
