Lahat ng Kabanata ng Exiled From the Pack: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Even now, a small part of me still held onto hope. I thought Hunter had only grown cold because of a misunderstanding.After all, our mating ceremony was just around the corner. I didn’t want our relationship to shatter at the very last moment over something like this. More than that, I didn’t want to admit that the mate I had chosen to defy my parents and abandon everything might have been a mistake.I ran to Hunter’s pack because my parents had arranged a marriage for me. I didn’t even know who the other person was, yet I was expected to become someone’s mate just like that.Young and impulsive, I boarded a late-night flight and fled my parents’ control, arriving alone at a pack I had never even heard of before.I never told anyone about my background, not even Hunter.I knew he was one of the Alpha candidates and didn’t want him approaching me with ulterior motives. All I wanted was something pure.When Hunter, not knowing who I was, still chose to treat me well and asked me

My face was slashed open by his claws, and blood began to flow.I couldn’t endure it anymore. I shifted into my wolf form and lunged madly at him, aiming straight for his throat.However, Hunter didn’t panic. He simply called the guards.Within a few moves, I was overpowered. After all, I couldn’t match young, full-grown he-wolves in brute strength. His guards pinned me down in seconds, gripping my shoulders and forcing me to kneel in front of him.“Feeling guilty, so you resort to violence? Leia, stop doing things that make me look down on you. “If you hadn’t traded your body for one alliance after another, would I have ever seen those so-called achievements and made you Luna-to-be? Stop dreaming.”Slowly, I raised my head. During the struggle, my forehead had been struck. Blood streamed down, staining half my face, making me look fierce and frightening.“Hunter, is this what you wanted? To push me to this point?”He looked at me with open contempt. “I didn’t push you anywh

I turned off my phone.My heart sank all the way to the bottom.I knew exactly why he did this. He was afraid that if I joined another pack, I would help another Alpha grow stronger. Also, he wanted to paint himself as the victim in his own pack to win sympathy from the wolves and strengthen his image. That way, his rule would be easier to maintain.Freya looked at me smugly.“Leia, you brought this on yourself. Let’s see who would still dare believe you now.”To me, the two of them were like fleas. They were so busy with their petty tricks that they were unaware they were walking step by step toward hell.I pulled my suitcase and prepared to leave, but Hunter suddenly called out from behind.“Stop. You betrayed me, and you think you can just walk away as if nothing happened?”He was the one who betrayed me first. Yet he shifted all the blame onto me.“What do you want?” I looked warily at him.A trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes. “You betrayed our bond. That’s disresp

I didn’t answer. I knew that no matter what I said, it would sound weak and meaningless in front of these gossipmongers.I glanced at my watch. Only ten seconds remained until the agreed time.I counted silently in my mind.‘Ten.’The distant sound of the wolf battalion grew louder, approaching fast.‘Nine.’A thick column of smoke rose on the horizon, carrying the smell of burning that stung my nose.‘Eight.’Hunter’s phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, frowning in confusion.‘Seven.’The moment he answered, his expression changed drastically.…‘One.’A thunderous explosion rocked the sky. The ground trembled, throwing up a cloud of dust that blurred everyone’s vision.Hunter’s face went pale. He spun toward Freya. “What’s happening?”Freya stumbled from the shaking floor, clutching his shoulder, stammering, “I don’t know… an earthquake?”Hunter knew it wasn’t an earthquake. His Beta had called to warn him that their border defenses had been breached. A massive

I followed Theo home. As soon as we stepped off the plane, my parents were waiting not far away.The moment my mom saw me, her eyes welled up. I couldn’t hold back either, rushing into her arms with tears streaming down uncontrollably.She stroked my hair gently, her voice trembling with heartache. “My dear daughter, you’ve suffered so much…”Dad, usually so gentle, struck the wall beside him with a fist, leaving a huge crack.“That Hunter… how dare he bully my daughter? I won’t rest until I flatten his pack!”Mom hurriedly placed a hand on his arm. “The child is here. Don’t vent your anger in front of her.”Dad nodded immediately.It hit me then just how many people had worried for me because of my recklessness. The young, headstrong me had long since been shaped and worn by life, but looking back, I realized the ones who truly loved me had always been right behind me.“Dad, Mom, I’m sorry. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have been so reckless.”Dad didn’t scold me, though. He s
