Chapter 1

The healers had given me a death sentence, and my death would be the ultimate revenge against my oblivious Alpha and the family that had relentlessly tormented me.The moment the words left my mouth, the doors to the hall were thrown open with a violent shove.Caleb's roar echoed through the hall. "Elena! What the hell do you think you're doing?"I turned to see his dark eyes burning with fury.Behind him, Lydia hurried in, her face a perfectly crafted mask of concern."Of all days, you had to cause a scene today?" Caleb stormed up to me in a few long strides. "Lydia was just promoted to Lead Warrior. The entire pack is celebrating her, and you choose today to pull this stunt?"Without another word, he struck me. A sharp, stinging slap cracked across my face. The force of it sent me stumbling back, my cheek instantly swelling and hot.It took me several seconds to realize what day it was. It was Lydia's celebration.Caleb had specifically postponed a two-day patrol of our territory ju

I looked down at my reddened wrist and gave a small, humorless laugh.I should have known. He never believed me, did he?I forced my ailing body through the rest of the ritual on my own.On the day of my death, Caleb would receive the petition to dissolve our mate bond.In the last three days of my life, I severed our mate bond with my own hands.And my Alpha mate was holding another woman, celebrating her triumph.I staggered back to the Alpha's villa, though I had no intention of dying here.I just wanted to gather my few belongings.But as it turned out, there was almost nothing to gather.When I went to my old room, I found it had long since been turned into a storeroom.My vanity was shoved into a corner, covered in a thick layer of dust.The books and photo frames I had once treasured were all tossed carelessly into cardboard boxes.Only the bed remained in its original place, but the sheets had been replaced with a coarse, grey cloth.There was also a worn-out jewelry box. Insid

Caleb's expression froze. His eyes flickered involuntarily to the photograph on the table.But he quickly looked away, his voice cold. "What are you trying to say?""That day, you promised you would hold my Luna ceremony," I whispered. "But later, you said I was too weak, that I was unworthy of being Luna.""So?" Caleb's tone grew impatient."You forgot my nineteenth birthday. And my twentieth. And my twenty-first," I continued. "But you never forgot a single one of Lydia's.""Elena!" Caleb spun around abruptly. "Enough! You always make such a big deal out of everything, so full of self-pity!""If you weren't so damn fragile and sensitive all the time, maybe I wouldn't have to be this way."I stared into his cold eyes, feeling the crushing weight of his Alpha's dominance.So that was it. In his eyes, my very existence was a mistake.I said softly, "You're right, Caleb. I'm not good enough."I turned away, no longer looking at him."The documents are in the second drawer on the left,"

I looked up at Lydia, who was standing in the doorway.She was watching me with those big, innocent eyes, her face a mask of concern."Sister, let's make up, please? Just like old times." Her voice was gentle, and her eyes glistened with unshed tears, making her look utterly pitiful.This was her specialty."Do you remember the moonlight flower crown you wove for me?" Lydia continued. "Tomorrow is the Full Moon Festival. Could you make another one for me? As a gift to celebrate my promotion."A flicker of relief crossed Sarah's face as she quickly urged me, "Isn't that the one thing you're actually good at? Lydia is offering you an olive branch, Elena. You should be grateful and just do it."I didn't move. The moonlight flower crown pulled my memories back seven years.Lydia had just been brought home by my father.I had excitedly woven a crown for her, carefully picking the most beautiful moonlight flowers.Just because she had once said she loved them, I had woven her a crown, enduri

"What other reason?" Caleb glared at me. "Who else touched her but you?"Watching this perfectly staged scene, a profound despair washed over me.She had planned everything, including the allergen she'd hidden in her sleeve."Elena!" Caleb roared, lunging at me and clamping a hand around my throat. "I should have known how twisted you are!"His grip tightened. I couldn't breathe, and my vision began to blur.But the instant his fingers tightened, a searing agony erupted through the bond.It wasn't my pain. It was his.The mate bond was lashing out at him for harming his destined mate.His face instantly turned pale, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead. He instinctively let go.I slammed against the wall, the dull thud echoing in the room as the taste of blood filled my mouth."Caleb!" Lydia cried out in alarm. "Are you okay? Why do you look so pale?"He shook his head, fighting back the stabbing pain that shot up from the depths of his spirit, and looked at me again.The fury in his

I dragged my suitcase to a dilapidated motel on the edge of the territory.It reeked of mildew and stale smoke.The wallpaper was peeling, and the carpet was covered in stains.But for me, an outcast, it was the only shelter I had.In the middle of the night, a sharp pain tore me from a nightmare.The agony of Wolf Spirit Decay was like a thousand silver needles stabbing into my bones.Every breath was a torment.I curled up under the thin blanket as memories of my childhood flooded back.I was only twelve then, just starting my combat training.Lydia would always helpfully tidy my training uniform.But every time I put on the uniform she had tidied for me, my skin would burn. The itching was so intense I would collapse on the training grounds.Everyone thought I was just too delicate, unable to even handle the material of the uniform.Only I knew it was silver powder."Elena is so fragile. She can't even handle a little irritation," the trainer at the time had said with a shake of hi

"What can I say?" Lydia stood, looming over me. "An orphan living on charity never stood a chance against a destined mate.""But I couldn't stand it. Why should a pathetic weakling like you get everything?""All of this should belong to a strong warrior like me!""You know, I know exactly why your body is so weak."She looked at me, her eyes glinting with a vicious light."Since you were twelve, I've been putting wolfsbane in your food. Little by little, slowly eroding your wolf spirit.""The silver powder in your uniform, the push off the cliff, the poisoned herbs... It was all my work. My masterpiece."I trembled with rage, wishing I could raise my hand and slap her, but the moment I lifted my arm, she shoved me back to the floor.Of course. How could this dying body of mine possibly compete with an elite warrior?She slowly crouched down. "What? Are you angry? Do you feel cheated?""Too bad. You're too much of a weakling to do anything about it!""You don't even have the strength to

Chapter 8

[Caleb’s POV]Caleb was in the pack's Council Hall, discussing border defenses with the elders.A notification suddenly pinged in his mind-link.It was a message from Elena.What's she playing at now? he thought impatiently as he opened it.But as the recording began to play, the color drained from his face.Lydia's voice came through, crystal clear: "Since you were twelve, I've been putting wolfsbane in your food...""The silver powder in your uniform, the push off the cliff... It was all my work. My masterpiece.""Watching you grow weaker day by day has brought me so much joy..."The recording stopped abruptly.The hall fell deathly silent.The elders stared at each other, too stunned to speak.Just then, a violent agony erupted in Caleb's chest.It felt as if his heart had been smashed by a blunt object, a piece of his very soul brutally torn away."Argh!" he let out a pained roar, and a spray of blood erupted from his mouth.In that instant, the mate bond shattered completely.Cale

Chapter 9

Lydia stared at the moonlight flowers, her heart hammering against her ribs.If she refused to touch them, she would be admitting she had lied.But if she touched them and had no reaction, the truth would be exposed anyway.Trapped, with no way out, her pupils constricted in fear."Alpha... I'm not feeling well today...""Touch it," Caleb commanded, his tone leaving no room for argument.His Alpha command left her no choice.Lydia reached out a trembling hand and brushed her fingertips against a petal.One second... two seconds... three...Nothing happened.Her skin didn't redden or swell. There was no allergic reaction.Not even the slightest discomfort.Lydia realized the web of lies she had so carefully woven for years...was finally unraveling.She snatched her hand back as if burned, and the flowers fluttered to the floor."I... I must be feeling stronger today...""I'm still not feeling well, I'm going to go rest upstairs..."With that, she practically fled the room.Lydia frantic

Chapter 10

[Elena’s POV]I floated in the air, watching everything unfold in the diner below.Without another word, Rosa led them through the restaurant.Through one door, then another.The last door opened to reveal a body lying on a slab, covered by a white sheet.Caleb and my parents froze.The air seemed to solidify."What is this! Why did you bring us here? What kind of sick joke is this!"Caleb's voice trembled, thick with a powerful sense of foreboding.He rushed forward in a fury and ripped the white sheet away.When he saw the familiar face, his entire world collapsed.It was his mate. His Luna.She lay there, looking as peaceful as if she were only sleeping.Her lips were curved in the faintest of smiles.As if she had finally been freed from all her pain.But she would never wake up again.The final shattering of the mate bond struck his soul like a lightning bolt.The pain was a thousand times more intense than any physical injury.It was as if someone was carving open his heart, inch
