Chapter 1

David had been acting strangely lately.Every time I saw him, he'd frown and mutter something under his breath.Whenever our eyes met, he'd hesitate—like he had something to say—but then he'd say nothing at all.And when I tried to ask what was wrong, he simply shook his head, gently but firmly.Today was both the hunting competition and his birthday.He was out celebrating with his friends, and since it was getting late, I figured the party must be over by now.I decided to pick him up—and maybe talk to him about what had been bothering him.I even wore a dress—for the first time in three years.I wanted to look presentable in front of his friends, even if it felt unfamiliar and awkward.As I reached for my moonstone necklace in the drawer, something caught my eye.A glimmering ring lay quietly in the box.I was stunned.My wolf was so overwhelmed, she nearly leapt with joy.This… this had to be it.This was why he'd been so distant.He was planning to propose.My heart soared. I coul

Chapter 2

David was no longer the one I used to know.Back then, when he saw me jump into the silver pin with a firm resolve to end my life, his wolf nearly broke apart.Without a moment's hesitation, he leapt in after me and dragged me back from the silver pin.From that day on, unlike everyone else, David didn't point fingers or throw blame at me.Instead, he stood by my side—and comforted me.He told me that everything I had lost would return to me in another form.He said we had to move forward—and if I couldn't forget Jackson, then I should just hide him deep in my heart.Jackson had saved me by sacrificing his life.He didn't do it so I could throw mine away.David saved me time and time again after that.And in order to stop me from ending my life again, he said he would claim me as his mate.He told me,"You have a new life now. Hide Jackson in your heart. But now that you're forming a new bond—you must treasure your own life."From that moment on, David stayed by my side every day, like

Chapter 3

I was confused—Did David love me from his heart,Or was it all just a competition with Jackson?If he truly loved me,How could he say—so easily—that he hoped I would die for him?He didn't care if my wolf broke down.He didn't care if I actually died.All he wanted… was to prove that, in my heart, he had finally replaced Jackson.Despair consumed me.My knees gave way beneath me, and I collapsed to the ground.My wolf whimpered endlessly, curled up inside me.I could feel her pain—the raw agony of betrayal.And then,A quiet, terrible thought crept into my mind... the Aria who clung to the past had finally vanished..From now on, I wanted to be myself.I wouldn't live in Jackson's shadow anymore,nor would I wait around to be loved by David.After returning to my den, I kept thinking about David's strange behavior these past few days.The things he said today weren't because he was drunk—but I believed he had been planning it for a long time.After everything, I finally understood:

Chapter 4

I was still sitting on the bed in a daze when David returned.When he turned on the light, he suddenly pulled out a bouquet of flowers from behind his back.He handed them to me, his voice unusually soft."Aria, on my birthday, all I want is for you to stay with me.Only you can be my mate… my Luna.I can't lose you."Hearing those words, I held back a bitter smile.Did love from a he-wolf always come with conditions?Was it always meant to be repaid on their terms?Just then, his phone rang.David stiffened, then quickly turned away and walked into the other room to answer it.He did it so cautiously—as if afraid I might overhear something…Something that could trigger my wolf again.Something that would make everything worse.If I hadn’t already discovered his true intentions,I would have believed he truly cared about me.I reminded myself to act exactly as I always had—so he wouldn’t notice any change in me.So, just as he expected, I asked him in a cautious, hesitant tone—whethe

Chapter 5

I didn’t know what David was thinking when he heard my question—but all I saw was his face darken.All I wanted to know was this:If he truly saw me as a burden in his life, then please, let me go.He could break our bond whenever he wanted.Or he could just admit it—that he didn’t believe he was better than Jackson.And if he did, then I could calmly tell him the truth:It’s impossible for me to forget Jackson, because he died for me.But David wasn’t anyone’s stand-in.No—there was only one reason for all this:Me.I was the one who caused the chaos.I was the one who locked my heart away from everyone.And maybe,just maybe,it would be better for both of us if I told him the truth—so we could stop torturing each other.David’s eyes turned red.“Aria, you are my fated mate. I can’t lose you!”His acting was flawless.“Aria…You don’t know how much I cherish you.My wolf—he wouldn’t survive without his mate.He wouldn’t even last another second.”I could sense his meaning since all

Chapter 6

And just like that, it hit me—my earlier madness had been pointless. Not even worth the tears I shed.Hearing my flat tone, David let out a low, smug chuckle—infuriatingly seductive."Aria, are you upset? Is it because I didn’t come home last night, or because I drove two female friends back?"He paused, then added nonchalantly, “My car broke down on the highway. That’s why I couldn’t answer your calls—I was busy fixing it.”He said it so casually. So smoothly.As if it were the truth.But I heard it—clearly. The soft, breathy moan of a she-wolf on the other end of the line.And then came a low groan from David himself.Maybe it was intentional. Maybe it wasn’t. But it didn’t matter anymore.I pretended not to hear it. “When are you coming back?”David replied quickly, almost as if trying to escape the question.“Just rest. I’ll be home later.”And then—he hung up.I sat there in silence, the sharp beep of disconnection cutting straight through my chest.That she-wolf’s voice—so sultry

Chapter 7

It wasn’t until the crash that I realized—David shielded me with everything he had, without a second thought.The cars collided. Tires screamed. Ours skidded forward despite the brakes.The violent inertia nearly hurled us out of our seats.Horns blared in chaos as oncoming traffic surged past.David jerked the wheel hard—our car spun sideways, and the airbags burst open with a deafening pop.Glass shattered around us like flying knives, and the vehicle jolted to a halt.Blood ran down his face, warm and slow, landing on my hands—snapping me out of the weightless haze.Behind us, passengers screamed in terror and pain.My hands trembled as I reached for him, cupping his blood-streaked face.My voice cracked with helpless fear.“There were airbags… why would you throw yourself over me? Where are you hurt?”David gave me a weak, broken smile.“Protecting you… it’s muscle memory by now. Aria, as long as you’re safe… I’m fine.”“Don’t cry. Don’t panic. I’m okay. Really, I am.”It was a ca

Chapter 8

I clenched my jaw so hard, it felt like my teeth might crack.My fists trembled with fury, every muscle screaming to strike her.Only the pain of my nails digging into my palms kept me from exploding.I just couldn’t understand.Jackson was gone—he died protecting me.And I… I was broken.I blamed myself.Everyone else did too.They reminded me—over and over, in whispers and stares—that I should’ve died with him.And I tried.More than once.Not just because Jackson was gone…But because I couldn’t survive the weight of their judgment.But when I finally, finally clawed my way out of the darkness—When I dared to breathe again, to live again—They came for me all over again.Accusing. Condemning.Calling me a traitor to his memory.Heartless.Unworthy of the love he gave me.It was David who pulled me out of that pit.And for a while… I believed he was different.That he loved me. Respected me. Saw me.But now I see it clearly—Even David, the one who stood by me through three years of

Chapter 9

When I arrived at the infirmary in a wedding dress to pick up David, he was already gone.I knew then—he had changed the location.At the front desk, the nurse told me he had been discharged.The paperwork? Handled by Serena.I told myself: the final act had begun.The curtain would fall soon.I didn’t panic. Didn’t rush to find him.Instead, I calmly dialed his number and sent a message asking where he was.No answer.So I drove—to Jackson’s grave.Sitting silently in front of his tombstone, I closed my eyes and leaned gently against the cold marble.Saying nothing. Just… breathing.A long silence passed. Then my phone vibrated.A video message from David.He was tied to a chair, mouth gagged with a strip of cloth.Serena stood behind him, eyes wild, pressing a knife to his throat.“Aria, why? Why did you get his love so easily? I’ve been by David’s side for years—and you? Just a broken little depressive girl.”“Didn’t you want to bond with him? Go on, then! If I can’t have him, neith
