Chapter 1

In Centralis' most luxurious castle, Jayden Porter appeared down the corridor wearing a suit and tie. He was holding the arm of Lina Doux, who stood next to him in a haute couture dress.Their good looks drew the attention of many people, and those who knew them gathered around enthusiastically."Congratulations on becoming the Beta of Centralis, Jayden.""In just six years, you've been promoted from an ordinary werewolf to a Beta. How amazing!""I heard that the Alpha King will also be attending your inauguration ceremony today."Jayden smiled and exchanged pleasantries with everyone, his eyes shining with unconcealed pride. He said, "Thank you for all your well-wishes, everyone."I was momentarily stunned, pausing in my search through a trash can in a corner. I didn't expect Jayden to become the new Beta, but the fact that he could succeed in the position proved that he was capable.In the future, he would be assisting the Alpha King in handling the Centralis' government affai

"I can afford the compensation costs," I said calmly.The waitress still refused to believe me and insulted me furiously, her eyes filled with contempt. "Stop talking big, you filthy beggar! Every item in our castle is worth more than you! Even ten of your lives won't be enough to pay for them!" She grabbed my arm, preparing to drag me away. I struggled in her grasp, unwilling to leave. "Stop dragging me! Hurry up and let go! I'll leave once I find the item, and I won't pay a penny less in compensation!" I retorted.Jayden, who had already reached the entrance of the banquet hall, suddenly turned around and walked expressionlessly toward me. He dragged me away from the waitress.Stunned, the waitress stepped aside."Enough already. Stop making a scene," Jayden said irritably. "How much money do you want? "I'll give it to you, but stop trying to attract my attention using such methods. Following me all the way here to harass me is only going to make me feel disgusted toward

Unable to listen to Lina anymore, I bellowed, "Please watch your words, Lina! I didn't ask him for money to buy a house!"Lina instantly shrank back as if frightened. "Let's just forget it, Jayden. Look. Her temper is still the same as always. It's no use helping her, so let's leave her alone already."I said thoughtfully, "There's no need for you two to worry about my affairs."However, Jayden was unwilling to let the matter rest. He grabbed my arm again and gripped it hard."Stop acting pitiful, Emily. You looked down on the 10 dollars I transferred to you all those years ago, but you'd hardly find as much in a trash can, right? "And now, you're refusing the money I'm offering you. Do you think your dignity is going to fill your belly?"I stared speechlessly at him. After all these years, did he still think I broke up with him because of those $10?Back then, Lina left to study abroad without even a farewell. She broke up with him so suddenly that he found it difficult to acc

Lina felt a little helpless. Then, in a flash of inspiration, she offered, "We need a staff member to help clean the tables for today's celebration, Emily. If you're willing to be our temporary help, I'll give you 50,000 dollars as a reward."Jayden agreed as well. "That's right. Since you're not willing to accept the money for free, you can earn it through labor instead!"Their offer made me laugh angrily. I had turned down several important jobs, clearing five days in my schedule to spend with Cassidy during her summer break.And yet, Jayden and Lina were asking me to work for them. How ridiculous.I lifted my head and said sternly, "I know the two of you are rich, but I don't have the time to play the role of pauper for you to boost your egos. "Please stay away from me. You're getting in the way of my search." If I didn't find the ring today, I'd end up drowning in Cassidy's tears.Seeing that I had once again turned him down and had returned to rummaging through trash, Jayde

"I—"Just as I was about to deny Jayden's accusation, he cut me off again. "Lina and I are going to have our bonding ceremony soon, so it's impossible for me and you to be together."I felt incredibly exasperated. No matter how much I tried to explain, he refused to believe me. I tried to leave, but Lina reached out to stop me."Where did a beggar like you get such a precious diamond ring? You didn't steal it, did you?" she asked fiercely.I rolled my eyes at her and, working hard to suppress my anger, replied as calmly as possible, "This diamond ring belongs to me."Lina chuckled and said sarcastically, "Oh, please. This diamond ring is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Where did you get the money to buy it? Are you trying to pull our legs?"The waitress walked up to take a look at the diamond ring, then asked me angrily, "Hurry up and tell us. Where did you steal it from?"I took a deep breath, my expression stormy. "I didn't steal it. This is my diamond ring. I can show

"Honey," I cried out aggrievedly. When Cassidy saw Caspian, she started crying even louder. "Daddy… I'm scared."Jayden heard how I addressed Caspian and looked at me in disbelief.He then scoffed at me. "Honey? How could you address the Alpha King like that? "Have you looked at yourself in the mirror? If the Alpha King hears you call him that, he won't just drive you out of the kingdom, but also—"Before he could finish speaking, he saw Caspian hurry forward and send the two bodyguards flying. Then, he pulled me into an embrace.My mud-stained clothes sullied his clean suit, and my garbage-stained hands left marks on his chest.Caspian didn't care about that, though. He hugged me in distress and asked, "What's going on?"The crowd exploded into uproar upon seeing this."Daddy! Mommy!" Cassidy yelled in a choked voice. Lina immediately let go of Cassidy's hand, shocked.Cassidy ran over to us, and I pushed Caspian aside to hug her. Caspian glared at Cassidy in displeasure. "L

Chapter 7

Everyone in the banquet hall was so frightened they didn't dare make a sound. Some people were already trembling.Caspian pointed at the bodyguards he'd kicked to the floor, who still hadn't dared crawl to their feet, and asked, "Why did you apprehend my mate? Answer me!"One of the bodyguards answered honestly in a trembling voice.Upon learning the truth, the temperature around Caspian seemed to plummet, and he looked at me in exasperation. "If you lost the ring, just have the bodyguards look for it. You just had to look for it yourself and get yourself into this sorry state."Also, as long as you revealed your identity, there'd naturally be people willing to serve you. Are you that unwilling to use your authority?"He scanned the crowd with his sharp gaze, his voice instantly taking on an intimidating tone. "Or did everyone present ignore your identity and bully you to challenge my authority?"As the words left his mouth, the stifling pressure around him seemed to increase e

The waitress lifted her head and pointed defiantly at Lina. "I'm not talking nonsense. Everyone saw how you led the narrative just now."Lina was panicking, but she still pretended to be calm and denied the accusation. "I didn't. It's all of you who were so certain that she was a beggar and a thief. It has nothing to do with me."The waitress retorted loudly, "If it weren't for you saying so much, would we have believed that?"Lina futilely tried to deny the obvious. "And what did I say? I didn't say a thing!"The waitress was speechless at her attempt to act dumb. Her eyes gleamed, and after a moment's thought, she said, "She did mislead everyone, Alpha King. She wanted to bring harm to the Luna Queen. Believe me."One of the kneeling wolves suddenly looked up. "I can testify that she called the Luna Queen a beggar and a thief."Now that someone had spoken up, everyone else gradually followed suit and stepped forward to identify the perpetrator as Lina, who cowered behind Jayden

Chapter 9

Everyone in the banquet hall watched Jayden and Lina arguing with each other with great amusement.I frowned, feeling my head hurt. "Let's go, dear!"Caspian narrowed his eyes at me. He arched an eyebrow and asked, "Aren't you going to keep watching the show?"I deliberately rolled my eyes at him and shrugged. "It has nothing to do with me, so why would I watch?"I then turned and left with Cassidy in my arms."Your negligence caused your fiancee to bully the Luna Queen, Jayden, so you can forget about succeeding the Beta position," Caspian announced loudly before striding after me.Everyone was once again shocked. Jayden was originally set to become the next Beta, but now that he'd offended Caspian, he had lost the Beta position as well.In the future, he would just be an ordinary civilian. There was no longer any need for them to fawn over him either. As such, the crowd dispersed.Shortly after Caspian and I got into our car, Jayden caught up to us and stood in the way of our

Chapter 10

Caspian reached out to touch my face, but his teeth were gritted as he continued, "I'm going to punish you properly tonight. I haven't seen you in a while, and you're already attracting other wolves."I shrank back involuntarily. I felt like crying when I thought about how possessive he was and how extremely insecure he was about love.Then, my thoughts returned to the "punishment" I might receive tonight, and I felt my legs go weak. Without waiting for my response, he picked me up and carried me into the car.I couldn't help glancing back. Jayden was lying in the shrubbery, his life hanging on by a thread. I couldn't see his face properly through all the swelling, and the blood flowing from the corners of his mouth was a horrifying sight.Caspian had been too heavy-handed with him.However, this incident also proved Caspian's love for me. He could appoint Jayden as Beta, but he could also revoke Jayden's Beta status for my sake.As our car drove away, I caught sight of Lina in t
