All Chapters of I Was Not a Nobody: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Before my boyfriend, August Cadwell, marked me, we went to register our mate bond at the Pack Affairs Department. Without a word of explanation, he unexpectedly had someone throw me out of the office. Then he walked in with his childhood sweetheart. He didn’t even blink when he saw me sitting there on the ground, shaking with disbelief."Hailey's pup needs to be part of the Aurelis pack. The best and quickest method is for her to register a mate bond with a werewolf from the Aurelis pack. As soon as we sever the mate bond, I'll form a mate bond with you."Everyone assumed the lovesick version of me would wait just one more month for him. After all, I'd already waited seven long years. But that night, I did something unexpected too. I accepted my parents' arranged mate bond and quietly left for the Lymerian pack, disappearing from his life entirely.Three years later, I returned to my original pack to visit my family. My mate, Ryder Weyland, was now the lycan chairman. Because of an

I ignored August, whose face had turned beet red, and turned to leave.But I hadn't gotten far when he grabbed me. Then, he questioned me coldly, "Sophia, you don't want my money? What's that supposed to mean? Are you trying to cut all ties with me?"I looked him straight in the eye. "Since we've already broken up, it's better not to have any further entanglements to avoid misunderstandings."My thoughts drifted to Ryder, who was always jealous. He wasn't prone to unreasonable jealousy, but he had a fierce sense of territory. If he caught another werewolf attempting to touch me in public, that poor werewolf would certainly be in for a serious reckoning.But August glanced at Hailey, clearly thinking he'd figured everything out. "Our Alpha is throwing a welcome party for the Lymerian pack's Alpha in three days. I'm planning to take you to experience the high life. But first, you'll need to change out of that ugly outfit. I don't want you embarrassing me—"Before he could finis

Ryder, known for his cold and decisive demeanor, showed a rare hint of warmth the moment he saw me. A faint but unmistakable smile touched his lips.Darren threw himself into my arms, but the moment he noticed the blood on my hand, his expression shifted with concern. "Mommy, what happened to your hand? Did someone hurt you?"The moment he called me Mommy, the room fell silent. I heard a collective gasp as everyone turned to look. The guests who had just moments ago been sneering and watching me with disdain now stared in stunned disbelief.Darren always had a way of sensing when something was wrong with me, just like Ryder. His concern warmed my heart, instantly sweeping away the gloom I'd been carrying.I pulled him close, pressing a gentle kiss to his soft cheek. "I'm fine."But Darren carefully lifted my hand, his face full of worry, and gently blew on the injured spot. His eyes were starting to mist over. "How can you be fine? Mommy, tell me. Who dared to hurt you?"Even t

Meeting their eyes, my heart instantly softened. "Alright, stop scaring the healer. There's still more treatment to be done."At my words, the healer visibly relaxed.After carefully checking me over and confirming there was nothing serious, he respectfully reported, "Alpha Ryder, the Luna only suffered some superficial wounds. Her pup is unharmed and doing well."I'll apply the finest herbs to the Luna's hand. There won't be even the slightest scar."Ryder's gaze darkened as he gave a small nod. I knew he was doing everything he could to keep his fury under control.As the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, August, the one responsible for all this, swallowed hard. He had never imagined that the she-wolf he once saw as worthless would one day become someone he'd have to curry favor with.Watching the closeness between Ryder and me, a wave of unwillingness surged in his chest. The possessiveness he had long buried now began to surface.But he had no right to challenge the werewo

I guessed August must have promised Hailey he would save her child. That was probably why she had fought so desperately for him.I was well aware of Ryder's methods. After swallowing so many gemstones and being tortured to the brink of death, Hailey surely wouldn't live much longer. But she must have wanted her pup to survive.To outsiders, Ryder seemed cold and ruthless, but I knew he would never allow Darren or me to be hurt in any way. My injury this time must have made him feel terribly guilty.Anna had described Ryder and Darren as devils, but I didn't find them frightening at all. Everything that had happened was simply August and the others reaping what they had sown.I had given them a chance. They were the ones who had thrown it away.Still, I couldn't help but worry. Darren was so young. I pondered whether being raised with such a mindset would have a psychological effect on him.I was about to say something more to Anna when the treatment room suddenly burst open. Ryde
