Semua Bab After My Wolf Spirit Faded, I Became the Chosen Twin: Bab 1 - Bab 9

My Alpha mate, Ryker, always threatened to reject our bond to make me submit to my twin sister. My Beta parents always threatened to disown me, demanding I sacrifice everything for my frail and sickly sister.Before, I didn't understand. I would cry and scream, demanding to know why they were so unfair.But when Ryker slammed the papers on the table for the 100th time, forcing me to be the test subject for Ivy's ritual, I agreed.Not only did I agree, but I became completely obedient to Ivy. Everyone praised me, the Luna of the Blackmoon Pack, for finally showing some sense. But they didn't know the truth. I was already dying.A dying Luna has no use for dignity or love.The healer had just told me my fading wolf spirit was a death sentence when Ryker pushed the mate rejection papers in front of me for the hundredth time."Harper, Ivy's wolf is getting weaker. She can't endure the risks of an unproven ritual. If the spirit regeneration isn't completed within a month, she could die.""Y

I had barely been dragged into the Silvermoon Pack's territory when a guard kicked me onto a training ground covered in sharp gravel.The Silvermoon Alpha stood on a high platform, his gaze as cold as ice, as if he were looking at a filthy stray."Since those hands enjoy throwing filth, she can use them to clear the thorns from the training grounds."This was the obstacle course used for training young wolves, but today, it was filled with thorny black briars soaked in wolfsbane juice, which weakens werewolves.And so, under the cold moonlight, wearing only a thin dress, I knelt on the training ground and began to pull up the hard thorns with my bare hands.The sound of my skin tearing was sickeningly clear. Blood dripped from my fingertips, mixing with the dirt.The young wolves watching whistled and jeered, mocking the Blackmoon Pack's weakness."Is this Blackmoon's idea of an apology? Sending a useless piece of trash like her?""What good is Ryker's arrogance? He still has to bow hi

Footsteps echoed outside the door.I floated in mid-air, watching as my parents walked in, arm in arm with Ivy.This past week had clearly been good to them. Their faces were glowing with health, their eyes bright with happiness.Ivy was wearing my favorite silk gown, the one I had saved for my anniversary with Ryker.When she raised a hand to brush back her hair, a massive moonstone ring on her ring finger flashed, its brilliance was momentarily blinding.But she didn't look happy. A deep-seated hatred simmered in her eyes.Ryker walked beside her, his brow furrowed. He gently patted Ivy's shoulder. "Ivy, calm down. I'm only letting you wear this ring for appearances, to celebrate your supposed recovery."He paused, his voice rising a fraction, as if trying to convince himself."Harper is my Luna, my only mate. That is the Moon Goddess's will, and no one can change it."At his words, Ivy violently shook off Ryker's hand and shrieked, her face twisting in rage."You see me as a sister

"Enforcer, is the case record complete?"The enforcer, though confused by Ryker's question, nodded.Ryker grunted and took a gleaming blue memory crystal from his pocket."Then it is my turn."He tossed the crystal onto the table, where it landed with a sharp clink."I am reporting Ivy on suspicion of using forbidden black magic and the premeditated murder of the Blackmoon Pack's Luna."What?!My parents, who were leading Ivy out, stopped dead in their tracks and stared back in disbelief.But Ryker offered no explanation. He simply activated the memory crystal.Ivy's sharp, cruel voice instantly echoed through the silent cellar."You bitch! I told you to torture her, not kill her!""I'll wire you a fortune. You take the fall for everything and go to prison!""I didn't care if you had to trap her soul and keep her from ever finding peace, as long as she was out of my way!"The recording continued. The next part of the conversation completely shattered my parents' hearts.It was a conver

Ivy was sentenced to exile.For a werewolf who had been coddled her entire life, being stripped of her pack and cast out to become a packless Rogue was a fate worse than death.But my parents no longer had the will to save her.The news that the pack's Luna had been murdered by her twin sister shocked the entire Werewolf Alliance.When the Silvermoon Pack heard that my face was covered in brands and learned my name, they instantly realized they had been tricked by a Beta family.They seized the opportunity to attack, uniting with other packs to impose economic sanctions on Blackmoon.Overnight, my family went bankrupt.Angry creditors and deceived pack members shattered their windows, throwing rotten eggs and stones into the living room.My once-respectable parents were stripped of their Beta status and demoted to the lowest rank of Omega.One cold, rainy night, he suffered a fatal heart attack.But my mother was too afraid to open the door to call a healer.And so, my father died in s
