Serve Me Cake, Set Me Free のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 9

On my fifteenth birthday, I begged my mom to teach me how to make a cream cake from scratch.We only had cream at home. No flour. So we went out to buy some.When we came back, we didn't walk into a birthday surprise.We walked in on my father pressing a strange she-wolf down onto the dining table.Cream was smeared all over her bare body.That night ended with my parents signing the Mating Dissolution Agreement.From that day on, cake became my nightmare, a taboo I could never touch.The night I mated with Alpha Kaelen of the Shadow Pack, amidst the pain and pleasure of his marking bite, I whispered in his ear."Honey, if you ever want to end our mating, just bring me a cake."He frowned, his eyes burning with possessiveness, and kissed the words away."Don't talk nonsense, Seraphina. You are my fated mate. How could I ever let you go?"Later, on his birthday, his intern secretary Elena ordered a three-tier luxury cake.Kaelen went into a rage, throwing both the cake and the intern ou

I didn't care.A dull ache spread through my chest, making it hard to breathe for a second.But I realized I was getting used to this suffocation, and it didn't even slow my steps.In our seven years of marriage, he had broken countless vows. Why care about one last missed appointment?As long as he signed the dissolution papers, he could watch the moon on a Ferris wheel with anyone he wanted.After the concert, I walked home alone along the street.Passing the old district, I stopped.The cheap meat pie shop where Kaelen and I used to eat every day to save a dollar had turned into a boutique bakery.Things change, and people change.Even the beautiful memories of us relying on each other for survival had been obliterated by the flow of time.I returned to the cold house at 1 AM.The living room lights were blazing.Kaelen was frowning, fiddling with his phone.When he saw me enter, his frown vanished, replaced by anger as he stormed toward me."What is wrong with you? You didn't answe

Why choose the Sacred Moon church for a wedding?Years ago, while studying the ancient scrolls of the Goddess, I read a specific verse."What the Moon joins, let no wolf separate."The church has always upheld the sanctity of the bond: one life, one heart, one mate.When I first mated with Kaelen, we had nothing.No rings, no white dress, no dowry, not even the blessing of our families.I still remember what my mother said back then."If he really loved you, Seraphina, he would show some respect. What is this mating without a ceremony?"Young and headstrong, I immediately retorted."It's normal for us to be broke right after leaving the Academy.""Kaelen treats me well. He is ambitious. We won't end up like you and Dad!"My father's betrayal and my mother's subsequent broken bond were thorns in both our hearts.On the plane, I wondered countless times why Kaelen and I ended up exactly like them.Maybe my mother was right.When Kaelen had nothing, he chose the girl who asked for nothing

In truth, I hadn't taken anything from the house.Everything there was more or less tainted with the scent of Kaelen and Elena.The thought of those things made me nauseous; I didn't want to touch them.Kaelen called out tentatively."Seraphina, are you home?""Seraphina?"Kaelen searched for me inside and outside the house.Then he frantically called his Beta assistant to track my location.The moment he hung up the phone, he turned on the living room lights.The gems on the wedding dress sparkled under the light.Kaelen's gaze was drawn to it.When he saw this dress, he had thought I would look beautiful in it.Before he could admire it, Kaelen noticed the Mating Dissolution Agreement.Because it involved many assets, the agreement was thick, mostly concerning my patents.I chose to leave with nothing, asking only that I could use my own inventions without paying royalties to his pack.I didn't want a penny.For Kaelen, this agreement was entirely to his benefit.I couldn't even thin

I couldn't break free, so I was dragged by him.Silas stepped forward in two strides and grabbed the hand Kaelen was using to tightly grip me, his voice fierce."She told you to let go. Didn't you hear her?"Silas's grip tightened relentlessly.After a stalemate, Kaelen finally let go.His hand was bruised purple from Silas's grip.Silas was truly strong."I tore up the agreement. I do not agree to the dissolution.""I've already submitted the digital copies to the Alpha Council and the Court. You signed it. It doesn't matter if you agree now; the agreement is just a copy for each party."Kaelen poked his tongue against the inside of his cheek and sneered."Seraphina, you say leave and you leave? Ten years of feelings, you say give up and you give up? And the pack? Who will manage the potions? That was our dream!"Kaelen was really adept at moral kidnapping.I took a deep breath and met his eyes."Ten years of feelings... was it me who gave up? No, it was you who found another woman, y
