Chapter 1

I’d been Alpha Dylan’s mate-in-waiting for six years. He kept delaying our official bonding ceremony, always saying, “The time isn’t right.” The moment he announced another she-wolf as his Luna was the moment I was done.“Just like that… yes, Sylvia. You’re so beautiful.”Dylan’s hot breath ghosted across my neck, his sweat soaking into the sheets.I closed my eyes, feeling his thrusts, harder and more desperate than ever before.Exhausted, he rolled over to lie beside me, his fingers tracing lazy patterns down my spine. “There’s a surprise for you tonight.”My heart seized.Today was our sixth anniversary.Six long years of devotion and waiting.I instinctively touched the back of my neck, where his temporary mark rested. Incomplete.Tonight was his Alpha ceremony. Maybe, I prayed, tonight he would finally complete the bond.“What surprise?” I asked, my eyes wide with hope.Dylan just smiled mysteriously and pressed a kiss to my forehead. “You’ll see.”He glanced at the time. “I have

Chapter 2

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’

Chapter 3

The next morning, I stood outside Dylan’s lycan biotech company.I had helped him build this company from nothing.I had a natural calming ability and a keen sense of smell. My talent allowed me to create scents that could soothe a wolf's restless spirit. My products were the lifeblood of this company and the foundation of Dylan’s power in the pack.Now that I was leaving him, I had no intention of working for him.As I walked in, I could hear my colleagues buzzing.“Did you see the fireworks for the new Luna? I saw them from the suburbs! The whole sky was filled with silver moon patterns. So romantic!”“I know! I watched the livestream. The fireworks spelled out ‘Lilith, my moon.’ The Alpha’s never done anything so public. This must be the real deal.”I clenched my fists.In six years, he’d never done anything so public for me.“And did you see the new Luna’s Instagram? She posted a silhouette of the Alpha kissing her forehead: ‘In my darkest days, you are my light.’ I almost cried!”

Chapter 4

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

Chapter 5

Every eye in the room turned to me.My stomach clenched. “I just got a glass of water!”“Search her things!” Dylan stood up, his eyes dangerously cold. “Now!”Two security guards stormed into my cubicle and roughly started dumping out my box.Books, notebooks… everything scattered across the floor.Dylan strode over, his boot landing right on the picture frame. Glass shattered, and his heel ground our smiling faces into the debris.I just watched in silence.“Found it!” one of the guards yelled, holding up a small plastic bag.It was a clear, sealed baggie filled with white powder.I stared at it in shock. It wasn't mine.“That’s not mine—”“Not yours?” Dylan marched over and snatched the bag. “Then why was it in your box?!”“I don’t know! Someone framed me!”“Framed you?” Lilith’s weak voice called out. Supported by a secretary, she struggled to her feet, her pale face streaked with tears. She looked so pitiful. “Sylvia, I know… I know you have feelings for Dylan, and that’s why you h

Chapter 6

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

Chapter 7

"I know you've been hurt," he said, his voice a low murmur, the kind you’d use to soothe a frightened animal. "So I won't mark you. Not until you're ready."I stared at him, stunned."What?""The mating mark," Samuel said, sitting up straight, his expression serious. "I know you just escaped a bad situation. I'm not going to use the Mate Spark to force you into anything.""You can take all the time you need. A month, a year, a decade... I'll wait."A wave of bitterness washed over me.I thought of my six years with Dylan.I used to beg him for a proper mark, but he always had an excuse. "The company is just starting out, it's not the right time." "Let me secure my position as Alpha first." "Just a little longer, it's almost time..."And now, this rumored tyrant, the Alpha King himself, was telling me gently:You can follow your heart."Why?" I heard myself ask, my voice hoarse. "You're... you're the Alpha King. You could just...""Because you deserve to be respected," Samuel cut me off

Chapter 8

(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

Chapter 9

(Sylvia's POV)Samuel told me he had a surprise for me first thing in the morning.He led me to the back of the estate, where we stood before a massive greenhouse."Do you like it?" Samuel asked, his eyes filled with a mixture of hope and nervousness."What is it?" I asked."Your laboratory," he said, taking my hand. "Come on, I'll show you."The glass greenhouse was even more magnificent on the inside.Beneath the transparent dome, an entire wall was filled with spices and plants.But what drew my eye was the herb sitting in the very center: a single, perfect stalk of Moontear Herb.My eyes widened in disbelief. "Oh my god..."Samuel wrapped his arms around me from behind. "I know how much your creations mean to you. I wasn't about to let them fall into someone else's hands.""These were all flown in from around the world. Roses from Bulgaria, lavender from Provence, sandalwood from India... I had my people gather every material I thought you might possibly need."He turned me to face

Chapter 10

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
