Lahat ng Kabanata ng Marked, Mated, and Missing: I Vanished With His Pup: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

I said, "I'm heading over to the Royal Healing Center in the werewolf kingdom for further training next month, Mr. Grey. This is my resignation letter."Thomas Grey, the director of the healing center, looked at me in surprise. "Why so sudden?"I gave the explanation I had prepared in advance. "My mate is in the werewolf kingdom. I plan to bring my pup there so we can reunite as a family."At the mention of my mate, Mr. Grey nodded meaningfully and approved my resignation.I recalled how I was stopped in my tracks by the hushed whispers inside as I passed by the preparation room yesterday."Chief Healer Evan said the mark suppressant has to be ready by today. Don't forget to increase the dosage.""Harper's been taking it for six years now. Her tolerance must have increased."I was surprised. When had I ever taken something like that?"But Harper's really pitiful. She isn't aware she's been drugged all this while. She had always thought something was wrong with her body for not

The next day, I returned to the healing center to hand over the rest of my work.Evan came to find me on his own and handed me an exquisite gift box wrapped in animal hide. "I forgot to give Toby his birthday present yesterday."Surprised, I took the gift box and opened it. Inside was a lifelike wooden carving of a wolf.Toby was terrified of fierce and snarling wolves form like that.When Toby was four years old, Evan took him to the edge of the Forbidden Forest to practice hunting. Halfway through, Evan ran into a few werewolf colleagues he knew.In order to hide their relationship, he let go of Toby's hand, causing him to get lost in the forest.By the time Toby was found, he was curled up in a hollow tree, trembling fearfully after encountering a huge Rogue.Since then, the form of a fierce adult wolf had become his worst nightmare.And now, the one responsible for his trauma was even giving him such a figure as a birthday gift.I couldn't tell whether I felt more anger or

At the same time, while Evan was enjoying time alone with Selena, a sharp pain suddenly struck his chest.It was late at night in the bedroom when the sharp spasm gripped his heart.Evan was certain it was the backlash from a rejected mate bond. But what he couldn't believe was that I had actually done it.He muttered, "Harper, how dare you—"Just then, Evan's WolfNet lit up. A partially visible notification popped up. "Healing Center Staff Transfer: Regarding the apothecary room…"A bad feeling suddenly settled in his chest when he saw those words.He was about to open it when Selena walked in. She was dressed in a revealing silk nightgown, with a cloying floral scent clinging to her."Here's the report on the batch of herbs you asked for, Chief Healer Evan," she said.Selena placed the parchment on the desk, then moved behind Evan with practiced ease. She wrapped her arms around his neck, her fingertips brushing lightly along the side of his face.In the past, their chemistr

To keep Selena from senselessly causing more trouble, Evan avoided joining any more conversations with other healers for the rest of the exchange dinner.Even when healers from other packs came over to chat, he only offered brief, polite replies.For the rest of the evening, Evan sat alone on a couch in the corner, downing glass after glass of hard liquor.When the dinner finally ended, he bid his goodbyes to the host and quickly fled.…The liquor was starting to hit hard by the time Evan got home.Pressing a hand to his forehead, he pushed the door open with unsteady steps. "Get me some water, Harper."His words fell into silence.Evan lifted his head and looked at the dark hall, only to realize that Toby and I had already left yesterday.He turned on the glowstone lamp on the wall and walked into the kitchen, pulling out a hangover tonic from the fridge.As Evan closed the door, he suddenly realized that the fridge was covered in pieces of drawings he hadn't noticed before

That day was Toby's first day at the Royal Pup Academy in the werewolf kingdom. I woke up early to help him pack his schoolbag.Although we had only arrived at the kingdom two days ago, I'd been planning this for a long time.Half a year ago, I'd already contacted an old apothecary friend who had transferred here. I got his help to find me a suitable place to live and an academy for Toby.I wanted to prepare for the day I would dissolve my mate bond.Initially, I hadn't planned to come this soon. But as an apothecary, I had a habit of preparing an antidote in advance for everything.Looking back now, this habit of mine had saved me from becoming completely lost when the time came.It was also thanks to Evan, who still had a shred of conscience and was never stingy with money or resources after the marking.Because of that, I'd saved enough to gain a foothold in the incredibly expensive werewolf kingdom.After watching Toby board the academy carriage, I pulled my coat tighter an
