Chapter 1

I picked up a werewolf and brought him home.After finishing a hike last week, I had just opened my car door and got into the driver's seat. But before I could fasten my seat belt, a dark silhouette slammed open the passenger door and stumbled inside.I froze in shock, and I turned my head.It was a man.I could see under the dim light inside the car. He leaned against the passenger seat, covered in blood and struggling to breathe."It hurts..."I was stunned for a few seconds.I did not see anyone else on the hiking trail earlier. But he did not look like he was trying some kind of scam with that condition of his. He looked more like someone who had run into some serious trouble and had no other choice but to get into my car."Don't move," I said with my voice softened subconsciously. "Should I take you to the hospital?"He shook his head. "No... No hospital.""Then where do you want to go?" I asked."I do not know... I can't remember anything..."He closed his eyes, as if

I pointed at the mess in the living room to Ethan. "Then do the chores for me. Wash these clothes. Remember not to mix clothes with dark and light colors together. The dishes in the sink have been soaking for three days, so they may be a little greasy..."Here came the cheap part-time helper, right?"..."Ethan said nothing and just turned around to get a cloth.I lay down on the couch and started scrolling through my phone. I did not notice that when Ethan was picking up the cloth, his nail accidentally scraped the corner of the table, leaving a shallow scratch.He stared at the scratch for two seconds, then lowered his head and started wiping the table carefully.For the next week, Ethan became my full-time housekeeper.I relied on him more and more.When I worked overtime until late at night, there was always a hot meal waiting when I got home. He could not cook anything complicated and could only get pasta or fried eggs right, but he handled the heat perfectly. The eggs wer

I was working late into the night this time. As soon as I turned into an alley, a drunk man staggered into my path."Hey… Hey, young lady… Why don't you have a drink with me?" He reached out and grabbed my wrist. His fingers were so sticky that it was disgusting.I immediately darted backward and held my phone tightly. "Don't touch me! I already called the cops!""Cops? Who are you trying to scare?" The drunkard let out a cold laugh and grabbed my collar with his other hand. I squeezed my eyes shut, but the groping I was expecting never came.A dark figure dropped in front of me with a heavy thud, carrying a familiar scent.It was Ethan.His hood slipped down onto his shoulders and his wolf ears stood straight up. His dark brown eyes locked on the drunk like he was prey. "Let go."The man froze for a second, then roared at him. "Who the hell are you?! Get lost!"He shoved Ethan's shoulders.Ethan did not budge, and instead his nails extended with a clack. Those nails were refl

Things started to change a month later.Ethan's body temperature kept climbing. Sometimes, he would even shake all over. When he looked at me, his eyes were full of unsaid pain. Even his tail was hanging low, and he seemed to have lost his usual spirit.I was getting especially anxious when I thought his wounds were infected or that he had caught something else, so I rushed him to the hospital in the middle of the night.The doctor knew some common knowledge about werewolves. He frowned even more after he finished examining Ethan.I nervously asked, "How is he, doctor? Are his wounds infected?"The doctor shook his head. He stayed silent for a long time before he finally said, "He isn't sick.""If he isn't sick, then why is he like this?" I became even more panicked. "It feels like his energy has left him completely. He has never been like this before."The doctor pushed his glasses up and spoke slowly. "He is probably a Rogue who was cast out of his pack. Rogues prefer to be al

Chapter 5

When his teeth touched my skin, it tickled. He pressed a little harder and broke the skin, then he gently licked the spot. He was doing it so gently.After the Marking was complete, a faint red imprint appeared on my neck and was warm to the touch. Ethan let out a satisfied howl and his fever dropped slightly, no longer burning like before."Do you feel better now?" I asked.Ethan nodded and wrapped his arms around me as his tail brushed lightly against my waist. "Yeah."From that day onward, Ethan became even more attached to me. He no longer stayed on the floor next to my bed. Instead, he slept with me on the same mattress on the outer side. Sometimes, he would speak to me through our shared Mind-Link. This was an ability that I only gained after our bond was formed. It let him talk in my head without moving his lips.When I was working overtime, he would ask me through our mind-link, "Stop working. I'm waiting for you to come home."When I was eating, he would ask in my mind,

Chapter 6

Ethan was acting stranger and stranger.He went out a lot more than before, and he barely spoke every time he came home. Sometimes, he would just stand at the window staring outside for a long time, his eyes empty as if he was thinking about something so far away.He still did the housework perfectly, but he wasn't all over me like the way he used to. He even started avoiding my gaze on purpose.I could feel it.He was pulling away from me.One night, I could not hold it back anymore. "Are you planning to leave, Ethan?"He froze then turned to look at me, a complicated emotion in his eyes. "Why would you think that?""You keep dodging me. You keep going out." My voice lowered. "Are you remembering your family? Or maybe your old pack?"He stayed quiet for a long time before he finally nodded. "I remembered a few things. I'm not a Rogue. I'm the leader of a pack. A traitor used a unique Wolfsbane on me. That's why I lost my memory."My heart sank.So… I was right."Then... are

Chapter 7

After Ethan left, my life went back to how it used to be.When I came home from work, the apartment was empty. There was no hot dinner, no clean floor, no werewolf who would quietly protect me.I waited for him every day. I stared at that black wolf hair. I kept refreshing every bit of news about werewolves on my phone, hoping to see any news about him. A whole month had passed, but there was still nothing.Lisa tried to talk me out of it. "Stop waiting. The werewolves' territories are so far away. He is a leader of a pack, no less. He has probably forgotten you already."I refused to believe that. "He said he would come back. He wouldn't lie to me."But the days kept crawling by, and he still did not show up. Doubt started to appear in my mind, doubting if he was ever coming back.His memories had returned. He was the leader of a pack again. Meanwhile, I was just a regular human.We were never from the same world.One afternoon, at lunch in the company cafeteria, I heard my co

Chapter 8

After I moved to my new place, my life went back into the same grind as before.I worked overtime every day only to come home to an empty apartment. I cooked for myself and did my own laundry. When I went to bed, the outer side of the mattress stayed empty.I still thought about Ethan. I missed his cooking, his soft ears, and bushy tail. But every time I remembered how he was the Alpha King now, that he had probably forgotten me already, I could feel the ache in my heart.Then, one night. I had just gotten off work and walked back to my new place. Just as I reached the entrance to the neighborhood, I saw a black SUV parked by the curb. A tall man stood beside it in a black coat. I knew him immediately.Ethan.My heart skipped a beat as I spun around, wanting to make a run for it. Then, his voice came from behind me. "Clara, stop."His voice was still low, but there was authority in it that did not allow refusal now. I froze where I was, shaking, too afraid to look back.He had

Chapter 9

Ethan and I were tangled up all night…Ethan suddenly asked, "Do you want to come back to the pack with me tomorrow? Everyone already knows you are my Mate. I want to bring you home to see everyone."I was getting a little scared inside as I shook my head on instinct. "I… I'm afraid they will not like me. I'm only human.""With me there, no one will dislike you. You're my Mate, partner of the Alpha King. They must respect you. And I want everyone to know that my Mate is the best person in this world," Ethan said.I looked at the determination in his eyes and finally nodded. "Alright. I'll go.""That's great!" He said as he pulled me into his arms. His hold was gentle but tight. "I'll protect you. I won't let you get hurt at all."He fell asleep holding me, whispering low against my hair. "Don't leave me."I curled closer into his arms and whispered back, "I won't."-The next morning, Ethan had already packed our things.The black SUV drove steadily along the road as we were

Chapter 10

"My Mate is not up to you to judge." Ethan told Kael in a cold voice. "Clara is the one I chose. No matter who she is, she is my only Mate in this life. If you disrespect her again, you'll regret it."Kael clearly did not fear him. He let out a cold laugh. "Have you been bewitched by this human? Humans are fragile and selfish and do not deserve you!"Suddenly, Kael lunged at me with lightning speedI shut my eyes in terror, but the attack I expected never hit me. Instead, all I heard was a heavy thump. When I opened my eyes, I saw that Ethan had already pinned Kael on the ground with one hand around his throat. Ethan's eyes were brutal, like he had his eyes fixed on a prey. "I told you that you won't touch her.""Sir!" Kael struggled. "You will regret this!""I never regret." There was no hesitation in Ethan's voice. "Say another word and I will maim you."Kael's face went white and he did not say another word again.Ethan released him and snorted. "Get lost."Kael scrambled to
