The Alpha’s Mate-in-Waiting：Claimed by the Lycan King의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 10

Dylan came in holding a large bouquet of Moonshadow Orchids—rare flowers that symbolized “one true love” in the werewolf world.He was frowning, looking agitated. “Who were you on the phone with?”I looked away, my face a calm mask. “No one. Just an invitation to a party in three days.”Dylan’s expression relaxed; he didn’t question my excuse.His usual gentle smile returned as he tried to press the flowers into my hands. “I picked these for you from deep in the forest. Do you like them?”I stared at the flowers, the irony a bitter taste in my mouth.Hours ago, he had put a Luna necklace on another woman, and now he was here, trying to appease me with flowers symbolizing “one true love.”“Sylvia, I know you have questions.” Dylan set the flowers down and sat beside me, reaching to put his arm around my shoulder. “Just let me explain—”“Explain what?” I reined in my emotions, keeping my voice steady. “Explain why I had to find out you had a Luna by watching a livestream? Or why it wasn’

I sat at my desk and started writing my resignation.A message popped up from Katie in R&D. “Sylvia, I just came from the CEO’s office and heard something… Brace yourself.”“What is it?”“The new Luna asked the Alpha for your ‘Moon-Tear Herb.’ Said the scent helps her sleep.” Katie sent a string of angry emojis. “The Alpha… he told her she could have it.”The phone nearly slipped from my hand.The Moon-Tear Herb was a rare spirit herb I’d spent five years cultivating. It was my life's work.I snatched my resignation letter and stormed into Dylan’s office.Dylan was reviewing a document. He looked up, frowning. “What are you—”Slap.I slammed the letter on his desk.“I’m taking my Moon-Tear Herb,” I said, my voice trembling. “Now.”Dylan put down his pen and leaned back, looking exasperated. “You’re really this angry over a single plant?”He glanced at the letter, dismissing it. “And you’re threatening me with this? Sylvia, you’re just being jealous.”“Jealous?” I let out a bitter laugh

The plane touched down on Samuel’s private airstrip.The moment I stepped off, I saw him: Samuel Blackwood, standing before a pack of towering wolves.Even from dozens of yards away, I could feel the immense power rolling off him—the undeniable aura of the Alpha King.He had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and sharp, chiseled features. His eyes were the color of ink, so deep you could fall into them.I suddenly remembered the rumors.They said he was ruthless, a killer who never blinked. And that he never took a woman to his bed.But the instant he saw me, his gaze softened.Heat crept up my neck, a blush I couldn't explain. I took a deep breath and started walking toward him.But then my legs gave out. I lost my balance and pitched forward.A strong hand caught me, steadying me."Easy there."A deep voice rumbled by my ear, carrying the scent of cedarwood.Samuel’s fingers were wrapped around my arm.The second his skin touched mine, a jolt of pure electricity shot from the point of

(Dylan's POV)BAM!Dylan slammed the file down on the table, a vein throbbing in his temple."This is what you have to show for a week's work? Three failed projects, two canceled client orders, and a seven-point drop in our stock price?!"The boardroom was dead silent.One of his subordinates kept his head down, mumbling, "Alpha, since Sylvia left, the lab has been having... issues. You know her soothing ability had a stabilizing effect on the sensitive equipment and chemical reactions...""Enough!" Dylan cut him off, yanking at his tie. "She's just a Beta. Is this company really going to fall apart without her?"Furious, Dylan dismissed everyone and stood alone before the floor-to-ceiling window.His reflection stared back at him—handsome as ever, but with a wild, exhausted look in his eyes he couldn't hide.He could feel his wolf roaring, his blood boiling.The rage was clawing at him again.Before, whenever this happened, he'd just call Sylvia. She would drop everything and rush ove

The video was from a crystal-clear security camera.In the footage, Lilith glances around the breakroom, and after making sure no one is there, she pulls a small packet from her purse. She dumps the powder into a drink and then chugs it herself.The next clip shows her in a corner, bribing Cindy to plant the remaining drugs at my workstation and to point the finger at me."When did you get this?" I asked, staring at Samuel in shock."For my Queen," Samuel said, placing a kiss on my forehead, "I would do anything."News alerts started popping up one after another:【Lilith Arrested for Fraud and Assault by Poisoning】【North Shore and Black Forest Pack Corporation Stocks Plummet, Council of Elders Calls Emergency Meeting】I let out a long, slow breath.The weight of being falsely accused had been crushing me, and now, it was finally gone."There's one more thing," Samuel said, opening another document. It was an official decree he had issued as Alpha King.【For gross negligence, enabling
