Semua Bab After My Death, The Alpha Started to Love Me: Bab 1 - Bab 8

"Where's Catherine? Why hasn't she come to find me since getting out?""Isn't she the best at playing the victim for sympathy? Why isn’t she begging for sympathy this time? Has she actually learned her lesson?"Leo's subordinate paled, choosing his words with care:"Alpha... the Luna, she... she doesn't seem to have come out yet."A flicker of worry surfaced in Leo's wolf eyes, but it vanished in an instant, replaced by cold indifference:"Catherine's has quite the backbone, doesn’t she? Then let her stay in there and reflect some more!"His subordinate hesitated before speaking:"But there hasn't been any sound from the Luna's water dungeon for days, and there's a terrible stench coming from it. Would you... like to take a look?"Leo waved it off:"What's the panic? Catherine's just playing the victim, trying to make me go soft and let her out.""Relax—she's the strongest swimmer in the pack. This little punishment is nothing to her. Besides, after being locked up this long, a bit of

I stared at them, and Leo's words struck me as nothing but a cruel joke.That day, it was Sophia who had invited me to the beach. She pulled out photos of her and Leo together and taunted me:"What good is being Luna? The Alpha's body and heart were never yours. Every night after you fall asleep, he comes to be with me."Before I could respond, she screamed and stumbled backward, falling into the sea.By the time Leo arrived with his men to pull her out, she was soaked through, coughing violently in his arms:"I only wanted the Luna to take better care of you. I never imagined she would push me... Alpha, I'm sure she didn't mean it."Leo cradled her like a treasure he had nearly lost.And I stood outside the crowd, watching Sophia's lies with cold detachment, utterly unmoved.After all, with a werewolf's constitution, even the weakest Omega could swim laps in the ocean.Sophia had only been in the water for two minutes and swallowed one mouthful.But when Leo seized my hair and dragged

The instant he saw clearly, every drop of color drained from Leo's face.His gaze locked on the water's surface, his voice thick with disbelief:"Who put this... this thing in here? Where's Catherine?"His breathing turned ragged, chest heaving."Go! Find Catherine! Does she think she can fool me with a fake corpse and escape her punishment? I'm not an idiot! Find her now!"I laughed until tears streamed down my face.My body was right there. Where exactly did he expect to find a living Catherine?"Alpha... the Luna, she... she truly is dead. The body has already begun to decompose."Leo erupted with fury."You're lying! You're all helping Catherine deceive me! You really think throwing a rotting dummy in there will make me believe she's dead? Keep dreaming!"He snarled at his subordinate through gritted teeth:"Go! Deploy every tracker and warrior in the pack. Turn the entire planet inside out if you have to—find Catherine's trail!"At the same time, perhaps sensing the deathly void o

One day, as Leo was handling pack affairs as usual, a subordinate pushed open the door with trembling hands.He presented a shard of porcelain retrieved from a crack in the water dungeon's iron cage.The fragment still bore traces of pale green wolfsbane residue, its acrid smell unmistakable.Even a werewolf could easily identify it as a lethal poison capable of dissolving internal organs."Alpha, we found this at the bottom of the cage while cleaning the dungeon... The wolf guards also reported that on the fourth night, they were ordered away from the dungeon by Sophia—claiming it was your command. When they returned, they saw her hurrying away from the dungeon entrance."The words struck like a thunderbolt.Leo's wolf eyes contracted sharply. Every detail he had been too blind to see came flooding back at once.Sophia was afraid of water—yet she had chosen a stormy beach to meet with me.I was the strongest swimmer in the pack—yet I had died in the water dungeon within mere days.The
