Chapter 1

"Who are you?" Alpha Kael Bennett asked, shoving me away with a cold gaze. Maya Walsh stood behind him. Her fingers curled possessively around his arm, and her gaze was dripping with malice. "Kael doesn't remember you anymore, Lila. Why are you still hanging around him?""Kael, look at me. It's me, Lila Miller!" I said, my voice shaking as I tried to awaken his memories. "Our marking ceremony is in three days!"Kael frowned and took a step back in disgust. "A marking ceremony? I've never made any promise like that. Maya, get her out of here. I don't need strangers disturbing my recovery.""A stranger?"I could feel my heart tearing apart. "You said you would mark me!""That's enough!" Kael roared, his Alpha presence crashing down on me. "I don't know you. If you keep harassing me, I'll deal with you according to pack law."Maya smiled smugly as she shoved me toward the door. "Did you hear that? Kael only has eyes for me now."I stumbled out the door.The wolfsbane had destroy

When I got home, I went straight to the liquor cabinet, grabbed a bottle, and drank straight from it.The burning liquid scorched my throat, but it couldn't drown out the agony in my chest.Kael used to forbid me from drinking. He always said my stomach couldn't handle it. But now, he couldn't remember anything.In my haze, I saw a familiar figure standing at the doorway.I thought it was a hallucination, so I lunged forward and wrapped my arms around it. "Kael! You're back! You remembered me, didn't you?"The body in my arms was solid.I snapped my head up as hope flooded my eyes.The next second, a brutal force shoved me to the floor.Maya stood beside Kael, and she looked down at me with open mockery. "Don't you have any shame, Lila? Kael is mine now. This place is mine, too."Kael's gaze turned icy as the warmth vanished from them without a trace."Why are you still here?" he snapped. "Pack your things and get out. Now!""This is my home too!" I scrambled to my feet and

When I woke up again, I was in a ward bed.My best friend, Sofia Hendricks, sat beside me. Her face was pale."Lila, you're finally awake," she said, pulling me into a tight hug. Her tears soaked my shoulder. "You had a fever and were out for almost a full day."I stared blankly at the ceiling. All I could see was Talon being dragged away.Just then, my phone buzzed. Maya had sent me a video.The footage was shaky and horrific. Talon was locked up in a metal cage. He leaned against the bars while looking very scared, his body trembling the whole time.The cage was then pushed toward the wolf territory. A few ferocious wolves quickly surrounded the cage. That was when the cage's door got opened roughly.Talon's howls of pain filled the ward immediately. In the end, he got torn into pieces by the wolves.I clapped a hand over my mouth and started retching without warning. Tears mixed with vomit as my body folded in on itself."What's wrong?"Sofia rushed to hold me steady. When

I looked at Kael with tears streaming down my face. "You promised you'd protect me forever! But now you've destroyed everything we had for Maya!""That's enough, Lila!" Kael growled impatiently, a frown forming between his eyebrows. "I've already told you that I don't remember you. If you keep this up, don't blame me if I get rough!"Sofia's fury had boiled over by this point. She raised her hand and slapped Kael hard across the face. "That was for Lila, you ungrateful bastard!""Don't touch him!" Maya screamed as she lunged forward, shoving both Sofia and me.I was caught off guard, so I crashed to the floor. My lower back slammed into the edge of the table.Pain exploded through me as my vision went blurry. I instinctively reached downward and felt warm liquid spread beneath me.Sofia dropped to her knees beside me. Panic was written all over her face. "Lila! Talk to me. Are you okay?"Kael's breath caught in his throat as he stared at the blood pooling beneath me. A flicker o

Kael's roar rattled my eardrums as his bloodshot eyes locked onto me. His Alpha presence pressed down on me like a boulder, crushing the air from my lungs.I had just lost a pup and had my uterus removed. I was so weak that I could barely lift my hand. Yet, I still had to endure his baseless accusations."I didn't do anything to her. Get a grip, Kael," I bit out."Get a grip?" he asked. He wrapped his hand around my throat. His fingers dug in with bone-crushing force. "If it wasn't you, who else would hurt her? You're jealous. You hate her for replacing you, so you hid her away as a form of revenge. Isn't that right?""I didn't!" I screamed with everything I had left. Tears steamed down my face with rage and humiliation. "She's the one who hurt me. She hurt Talon. She destroyed my home. Are you blind? Can't you see who she really is?""Shut up!"He released me without warning. I collapsed to the floor and started coughing violently.Kael towered above me. There wasn't an oun

I didn't know how much time had passed before I felt someone gently touching me.The pain was still intense, but the biting sensation on my body was gone.I forced my eyes open and saw an unfamiliar face."Are you okay?" The voice was soft and full of concern.I tried to speak, but all I could let out was a weak groan.He immediately pulled out some herbs from his backpack and carefully pressed them against my wounds. "Don't be afraid. I'm the Alpha of the Wolfshawdow pack. My name is Ethan Howell. I was passing through and saw you being attacked by Rogues, so I saved you."He slowly helped me up. "Your injuries are severe. We need to get you back for treatment as soon as possible. If we don't, your life could be in danger."He supported me as we stepped out of Lone Wolf Valley.He kept giving me strength restoration potions along the way back and speaking to me in a calm, steady voice. I leaned against him, feeling a warmth I hadn't felt in a long time. Tears slid down my fa

Kael's expression grew darker by the minute. He secretly sent subordinates to look into Maya's whereabouts, and at last, the truth came to light.Maya had never been kidnapped. She had staged the entire thing herself.She had colluded with a group of Rogues and pretended that I had abducted her. Her goal was to make Kael despise me completely and have me eliminated.After that, she hid in a remote cave, waiting for Kael to rescue her so she could naturally become his mate.The truth was like a sharp dagger plunging straight into Kael's heart.He recalled how weak I had looked in the infirmary. He remembered the despair in my eyes when he drove me out of the pack. He finally remembered every moment we had shared.The lingering effects of the wolfsbane poison finally vanished under the shock of the truth. All of his memories came rushing back."Ah!" Kael let out a howl of agony. The overwhelming pressure of an Alpha exploded outward, sweeping across the entire pack.His eyes burn

Chapter 8

Three months later, Kael finally received news about me.Someone reported seeing a she-wolf in the Wolfshadow pack who looked very much like me.Kael rushed there without stopping for even a moment.When he stormed into the camp and saw that familiar figure, tears instantly fell from his eyes."Lila!" he called my name, his voice trembling.I heard his scream and turned around. When I saw him, my eyes became filled with confusion and unfamiliarity. "Who are you?" I asked.Those three words hit him like a hammer.He hurried toward me and reached out to grab my hand, but Ethan stepped in front of me.He shielded me behind him and looked at Kael with wary vigilance. "Who are you?""I'm Kael. I'm her Alpha!" Kael said urgently. "Lila, don't you remember me? We promised to hold our marking ceremony. We decorated our home together. We raised Talon together—"I frowned as I tried to recall something, but my mind was completely blank. "Kael? I don't remember you. I don't remember a

Chapter 9

Kael didn't leave the Wolfshadow pack.Instead, he built a crude wooden cabin on the outskirts of the territory, but close enough so he could catch a glimpse of me day and night.The pack eyed him with suspicion. Every time he tried to approach me, warriors blocked his path. Still, he refused to leave.Before dawn, Kael would slip into the flower fields I often visited.He remembered my love for lilies. Back then, he had planted a whole field of them outside our future home. The lilies in the field had withered by now. When no one was around, he loosened the soil, watered the ground, and carefully trimmed away dead branches.Sweat soaked through his clothes. In that moment, all of an Alpha's pride was gone. What remained was devotion.Sometimes, I would run into him in the flower field.Every time I'd spot that unfamiliar figure from a distance, I'd instinctively move behind Ethan.Ethan would gently take my hand and whisper, "Don't worry. I'm here."Then, he would firmly bu

Ethan shouted and rushed forward, frantically digging at the fallen rocks.He finally pulled Kael free, who seemed like he was barely clinging to his life. His body was soaked in blood.Kael was still clutching the herb. He presented it to Ethan and muttered, "Take it… Bring it to Lila… Tell her… I'm sorry…"Ethan took the herb. He was filled with conflicted emotions as he looked at Kael's weakened state.He nodded. "I will. Hold on. We'll get you back for treatment right away."Kael shook his head. His gaze, filled with longing and regret, drifted toward where the Wolfshadow pack was. There was still so much he wanted to say, and so much he wanted to make up for. But he knew he no longer had the chance to.Ethan brought both the herb and the gravely injured Kael back to the Wolfshadow pack.The healers immediately began emergency treatment, but Kael's injuries were far too severe. His condition worsened by the second.After I woke up and learned that Kael had been critically i
