Semua Bab Buried with No Remains: Bab 1 - Bab 8

Alpha Simon Lloyd's childhood friend, Gracie Green, almost drowned and died. Because I stood by and didn't save her, he decided that I deserved punishment. He tied me up in the bathtub, binding my wrists and ankles.After locking all the doors and windows, he left. Unbeknownst to him, the moment he walked out, the clear water from the faucet slowly turned into silver nitrate.I screamed for help until my voice broke. In desperation, I shifted into my wolf and tore the ropes apart with my claws, but it was useless. I still couldn't get out of the bathroom.All I could do was watch the silver solution spread across my fur and skin. For a werewolf, silver was poison. After I died, my soul drifted out of the bathroom.In the living room, Simon stood in front of the full-length mirror while his assistant, Connor Whyley, held up two suits for him to choose from.The reflection showed a sharp-looking man, his blue eyes scanning the details of each outfit with a focused intensity. His fac

Outside, thunder cracked, and lightning split the sky. My soul cowered in a corner, trembling. I, too, had always been afraid of storms.Once, Simon would hold me, soothe me, and read me stories. Now, the stories he told weren't for me anymore.Late into the night, after Gracie was finally asleep, he left. In the darkness, she opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling, chuckling victoriously. "Oh, Simon… From now on, you belong only to me."My soul froze. Why would she say that? Could she have been the one behind the silver solution that mysteriously appeared in the bathroom?I wanted to stay and hear what she would say next, but the same invisible force yanked me back to Simon's side.In the study, he traced his fingers over our bonding ceremony photo. "The marking ceremony is around the corner, Juliette. Why won't you just give in? When will you grow up and understand accountability?"He sighed deeply, then stood by the window to light a cigarette.I was fuming. Why did he wan

Three days later, Gracie was captured. Simon didn't lock her in the estate. Instead, he took her to the dungeon at the back, the place for punishing traitors.I hovered in the air, watching everything unfold.Gracie was tied to an iron chair, hair disheveled, her carefully applied makeup long since ruined. The moment she saw Simon, her eyes welled with tears. "Simon, why did you take me? I did nothing wrong!"He stayed silent, simply holding up his phone in front of her. The surveillance footage of my last moments played.Gracie's expression shifted from pity to horror, then to frenzy. She screamed, "She deserved it! Why did she get to bond with you, but I don't? I met you first! I should've been your Luna!"Simon put away his phone, his voice eerily calm. "So, that time on the stairs, it was your own doing?""Yeah. What about it?"She laughed in a twisted, bitter manner. "She was such an idiot that she couldn't even defend herself. She deserved to be framed!"He closed his eye

Simon didn't take his last breath. A tree halfway down the cliff had caught him, and the pack ultimately rescued him.Gracie and her ex-husband's family were hunted across the city, finally fleeing deep into the mountains. Still, the pack never forgave traitors who harmed their Alpha.Two weeks later, Gracie and the others were cornered in a cave.I hovered in the air, watching the once-gentle Omega become wild-haired and mad-eyed. Simon stood outside the cave, his voice calm. "Come out, Gracie."There was no movement inside.He waved, and a few werewolves stormed in. Moments later, Gracie was dragged out, struggling and shouting the vilest curses.Simon watched her for a long time. Then, he turned to the pack elders and instructed, "Brand her with the mark of a traitor. Destroy her wolf, exile her from the pack, and never allow her to return."It was a punishment harsher than death.For an Omega like Gracie, losing her wolf meant losing everything. She could never shift again,
