Lahat ng Kabanata ng A Love Meant for Another: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

After the marking ceremony, my eldest brother, Anthony Jenkins, turned to the crowd and announced, "I booked the upscale restaurant in our territory. Naomi used to love going there."At that, Naomi Jenkins threw herself into his arms, sobbing. "I thought you'd never accept me again."My three brothers exchanged glances, each of them wearing the same conflicted look. My second brother, Bradley Jenkins, ruffled her hair. "You silly girl. Growing up, every time you got into trouble, we were the ones covering for you."Then, the three of them ushered Naomi toward William Parker's car. I couldn't watch anymore. My face turned pale, and I bolted. In truth, Naomi and I were twins. Yet, all my life, she had been the center of attention, while I remained invisible in the background.Everyone in the family only had eyes for her. They bought her the finest, most extravagant things, and I got whatever she didn't want.Even the man I secretly loved—William, Alpha of the Bloodstone pack—w

When I finally came to, I was lying on a bed in the healing sanctuary.The witch tending to me said anxiously, "I'm sorry, but all the healers were sent to the VIP ward. The Luna of the Bloodstone pack took a sudden turn for the worse, and the Alpha ordered every healer to tend to her, so there's no one left to treat you.""I've been poisoned with silver nitrate." I forced myself upright and begged, "Please, just give me one dose of the antidote. If I take it in time, I can still survive."At that, the witch hurried away. But before long, she returned with a troubled expression. "The Bloodstone pack's Luna has silver nitrate poisoning as well. All the antidotes went to her. There's none left."Daisy, who had brought me here, grabbed the witch's arm. Her voice choked with sobs as she pleaded, "Please, Mrs. Parker can't hold on any longer. You have to save her!"I lay on the bed, fighting to stay conscious. Excruciating pain surged through me, leaving me drenched in sweat. I fumbl

Anthony glanced at Naomi and said coolly, "Naomi, if you're finished, head upstairs."She stared at him in disbelief. After a long moment, she turned to wipe at her tears as if she had been gravely wronged, then hurried upstairs.As soon as she was out of everyone's sight, Naomi's gaze turned vicious. She couldn't wrap her head around it. Why would they still defend me when I was already dead?William instinctively moved to follow her, but after only a few steps, he stopped short. He no longer knew what he truly felt for Naomi. After spending three years together, he realized he had already fallen in love with me. My three brothers sat at the table in silence, staring at the food before them. At last, one of them said, "Maybe this is on us. Ever since Naomi returned, we really have been neglecting Patricia.""She must be furious with us. That's the only reason she'd join forces with outsiders to lie to us."A heavy sadness settled over the dining room, and William couldn't bea

The moment those words left William's mouth, Anthony, Bradley, and Caleb widened their eyes and stared at Naomi in disbelief. Had she even made up the silver nitrate poisoning?Naomi was thrown against the wall, the impact forcing a mouthful of blood from her lips. Yet, not one of them moved to help her.William hurled the medical report at her. The silver pin clipped to the papers sliced across her skin, drawing a thin line of blood."So, this was why you refused to stay in the healing sanctuary, wasn't it? But a lie is still a lie!" he roared.Caleb crouched down and gathered the scattered pages. The glaring words "Physical Condition: Excellent" cut him like a knife. His eyes were bloodshot as he turned to Naomi. "Why would you do this? Has anything you've said ever been true?"She looked at the four men and knew it was over. Everything she had done to me had been laid bare before them. "Guys, please listen to me," Naomi began. "I did all of this for you! I made a mistake th

William's expression twisted with pain, and his voice came out hoarse as he apologized. "I'm sorry… for what happened back then. It was my fault. I've regretted it every single day since, and I've missed you all this time."He stammered while trying to explain everything. Clearly, he was desperate to tell me about all he had endured over the years.But I coldly interrupted, "I have no interest in what you went through. I've left the Bloodstone pack and built a new life. Don't come looking for me again."William stared at me, his eyes red-rimmed. He looked like a lost child. "Patricia, I know I was wrong. In the three years we were together, I truly fell in love with you. Back then, I didn't understand my own feelings and ended up hurting you. I regret it. Please, come home with me."Before I could refuse, he hurriedly spoke again. "When we couldn't find your body, we held a funeral with the clothes you always kept close. And Naomi, the one who poisoned you, was buried with them.
