Semua Bab Alpha's No. 5 Substitute for First Love: Bab 1 - Bab 10

I was preparing a gift for our six-year anniversary when my best friend sent me a photo of my Alpha boyfriend kissing another she-wolf.That's when I found out that my boyfriend of six years had been searching for replacements for his dead childhood sweetheart the whole time. I was number 5. The she-wolf in the photo was number 18.Now, besides the heartbreak, I just felt sick.After calming down, I texted my best friend:"Your Alpha cousin, the one who had a crush on me and waited four years - is he still single?""Of course he's single! He's still waiting for you to be his Luna! Hold on, I'll set up a meeting right now!"My friend's excited voice was somewhat comforting.But right after I hung up, a she-wolf appeared in front of me. Looking closer, it was number 18."Hi, can I help you?"I thought number 18 was in the dark like I had been, but instead she was acting all high and mighty, telling me to back out of this 'competition.'"I'm Linda, Lucas's eighteenth she-wolf.""Sure, yo

Marcus's Beta insisted on moving me out immediately."Alpha said living here might mean constant harassment. You'd be safer at his place, and it would put his mind at ease."I had no choice but to agree. I quickly packed my stuff and left the apartment Lucas had rented for me, leaving behind all our memories.The day after I moved, Lucas called me.His guys had grabbed my mom.When I got there, she was on her knees, desperately bowing her head while Linda sat smugly in Lucas's lap, eyes full of malicious satisfaction."Please, Lucas, don't drag Sophia into this. I'll apologize to Miss Linda. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I shouldn't have hit you. Miss Linda, I'm sorry!"Linda pouted: "If apologies worked, what would we need cops for? You weren't so nice when you were hitting me and calling me a homewrecker.""Lucas, I told you Sophia wouldn't leave me alone. First she leaked our intimate videos, then she sent her mom to school to beat me up. I'm really scared to be with you anymore.""That's

With Marcus pushing things along, the Alpha Council moved fast. Lucas was arrested the next day.No six-month world tour for him. He got two years in silver prison.Marcus called me that evening. "It's done. He won't be bothering you anymore.""Thank you." I meant it."How are you feeling?""Free," I said.When we met again, it had been two years. Marcus was now Alpha King, and I'd become the Female Alpha managing the entire northern territories.During an inspection of the subordinate territories, I was shocked to discover that one of the territory Alphas was Lucas's stepfather. "Ma'am, there's been a change in staff," my assistant informed me as we pulled up to the territory headquarters. "The previous Alpha is back from... leave."Leave. That was one way to put prison time.When I saw Lucas again, he looked different. His shoulders weren't as broad. His face was thinner. But it was his eyes that shocked me most.They were hollow. Missing that old arrogant confidence that used to m

"Sophia, marry me. We were together for six years, and you had my baby. I'm willing to make it official."He got down on one knee right there in front of everyone. Holding up that same diamond ring from two years ago. Everyone in the conference room was stunned. Twelve pack officials sitting around the conference table, all staring with their mouths open."Lucas, what are you doing?" one of them whispered.But Lucas ignored them. His eyes were fixed on me with this desperate intensity."I know I hurt you. I know I made mistakes. But we can fix this. We belong together, Sophia. You know we do."I felt sick to my stomach, like I'd swallowed a fly. The audacity of this man was unbelievable."You're insane," I said."No, I'm finally thinking clearly." He held the ring higher. "This should have been yours from the beginning. I should never have given it to anyone else."The pack officials were shifting uncomfortably. Some were pulling out their phones, probably texting about this disaster.

Lucas's face went ashen when he heard Alpha Clark's words.The color drained completely from his cheeks. His mouth opened and closed like he was trying to speak, but no words came out.His mom started screaming. "Honey, what are you saying? You want to sever mate bond with me?! We just got mated a few months ago!"Her voice was shrill and desperate. She grabbed Alpha Clark's arm, her nails digging into his skin."You can't do this to me! I've been good to you! I've done everything you wanted!""Shut up!"Alpha Clark turned and slapped her across the face. The sound echoed through the conference room."It's all because of you, you bitch! How dare you insult Alpha Lane's mate? Who the hell do you think you are? Get out with your son!"His face was purple with rage. Veins bulged on his forehead."Say one more word and I'll have your son's legs broken before he leaves!"His pack was about to be ruined now. He could've killed this she-wolf. It was all their fault!
