Chapter 1

The Werewolf Hunting Contest's venue was packed. Werewolves talked over one another.I stood backstage and looked at the podium through a narrow gap in the curtain.Lily Ashford was holding the golden trophy with a wide smile on her face."Now let's invite the champion to give a speech!" the host exclaimed before handing her the microphone.Lily's eyes glistened slightly. "Thank you, judges, for recognizing my efforts. I've worked so hard for this hunt."I clenched my fists.Worked hard?I was the one who went hunting every night and trained in combat. She merely slipped wolfsbane into my drink and left me too weak to compete."Florence?" I didn't know when Lily had come off the stage. She was already standing in front of me with a smile."Florence, you're here too! Did you come to congratulate me?" She waved the trophy in her hand. "Oh, what a pity. Edmund's been too busy keeping me company. He doesn't have time to entertain you."Edmund Brock stepped out from behind her. Wh

I was their biological daughter, while Lily was the one they had adopted.But in my parents' eyes, it always seemed like Lily was the real daughter.I looked down in disappointment. "I'll do it."Everyone in the living room froze.The smile on Lily's face stiffened for a moment. It then turned sarcastic. "Florence, are you sure? Have you really thought it through? That man is a lunatic. On a full moon night, he could bite you and kill you."I met her gaze. "Wouldn't that be exactly what you wanted? Aren't you pleased?"Lily bit her lip and said nothing.Mary grabbed my hand. "Florence, think carefully.""I have." I pulled away. "But I have one condition.""What is it?""Lily has to publicly admit that she sabotaged me during the hunting contest. She needs to apologize to me.""Have you lost your mind?" Ben slammed his fists against the table. "You're trying to ruin your sister!""Sister?"I laughed. "When she gave me wolfsbane, did she consider the fact that I was her sist

Late at night, a maid knocked on my door and brought in a box."Miss, something else arrived from Norfolk Pack."I took it and opened the lid. I froze.Inside was a 60-carat pink diamond, the grand finale piece from the last auction. I had watched it being sold for 7.2 million to a mysterious buyer.Back then, I wondered who could afford something like that.I never expected the buyer to be Leon.There was also a card inside the box. Only one sentence was written on it.[In three days, I will come to take you with me.]The handwriting was bold and forceful. It carried an unquestionable authority.I held the card in my hand, and a strange feeling filled me.It wasn't fear or disgust. It was something more like curiosity.He was rumored to be a brutal, ugly, and crazy werewolf who bit others on a full moon night. I wonder what he'd be like.The next day, I went to a jewelry store to pick out a return gift.Leon had a black wolf. People said his eyes were dark emerald.So I

Three days later, I put on the custom-made wedding gown sent from the northern territory. I was slightly dazed by all the gifts in the house.The $7.2 million pink diamond was only the beginning. After that came property deeds, stock transfers, and rare medicinal herbs.The gifts were worth at least hundreds of millions in total.My parents stood at the doorway and looked at me with mixed emotions."Florence," Mary said hesitantly as she walked over. "About Lily apologizing, can you just drop it?""No." I didn't even turn around."Can't you do it for me? Don't make her apologize in public. Let her apologize to you privately."I turned around and looked directly at her."Mom, where is the gift you prepared for me?"She froze."When a shewolf from the pack gets married, her parents always prepare a gift for her. That's been a pack tradition for a thousand years."I met her eyes. "Where is the gift you prepared for me?"She opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.I laughed.

I froze for a moment.Leon wasn't like what I imagined.I imagined him to be a rough-looking savage, but he wasn't.He was tall, had broad shoulders, and had on a black formal suit. His dark hair was neatly combed back, revealing a chiselled jawline and sharp cheekbones.His features were striking. His nose-bridge was tall, and his eye sockets made those dark emerald eyes seem even deeper.There was a scar across his face that ran from his left eyebrow down to his cheekbone, but it wasn't ugly. If anything, it gave him a sharper, more dangerous edge.He looked at me deeply."Florence," he said in a deep and husky voice."Leon," I replied.Edmund spoke in disbelief. "Y-You're–"Leon ignored him completely and instead lowered his gaze to look at me. He was smiling."Florence, I've come to bring you home."He then looked up at Edmund. The warmth in his gaze disappeared instantly."So you're Edmund, huh? I hear you wanted my mate to become your mistress."Edmund's face turned

"Enough!" Edmund yelled and kicked Lily to the ground.She fell to the floor. The drug hadn't fully worn off yet, and she was still mumbling. "Edmund, why are you hitting me? Aren't I the one you love most? I just pretended to be pitiful and you believed me."Edmund trembled with rage. He crouched down and grabbed her by the throat. "You wretch! You lied to me for three years!"Only then did Lily come to her senses. When she saw Edmund's bloodshot eyes, she screamed in terror. "Edmund! No! It's the drugs! It's the drugs that made me say those things! You have to believe me!"Edmund slapped her hard across the face.My parents ran down the stairs as well.Mary grabbed Lily by the hair and started slapping her repeatedly. "You ungrateful little snake! We raised you for three years, and you tried to kill us!"Lily screamed and struggled. Her hair was a mess, and her face was swollen with slap marks. She looked miserable.I stood there and watched the farce unfold. I didn't feel an

Leon held a grand marking ceremony for me.The location was the ancestral land of his pack, Silver Moon Valley.The entire valley had been decorated into a sea of silver and white. Moonstones and fireflies were everywhere. It looked like something straight out of a fairy tale.Since I was allergic to pollen, there wasn't a single real flower at the venue. Every flower was handmade.There were roses, lilies, and daisies.Each one looked vivid and lifelike. If you leaned closer, you could even see the delicate patterns on the petals.I stood in the dressing room and stared out the window at the sea of flowers. I became momentarily lost in thought.How did he know I was allergic to pollen?The question lingered for only a few seconds before a knock on the door interrupted my thoughts."Luna Florence, the ceremony is about to begin."I took a deep breath and pushed the door open.The red carpet stretched from the entrance of the valley all the way to the altar. Guests filled the

Leon stopped loosening his tie for a moment.He turned to look at me with a smile."Do you want the truth or a lie?""The truth."He walked over and stopped in front of me. He lowered his gaze to my face. Those dark emerald eyes reflected my face."Seven years ago, you went to Silver Moon Valley to gather herbs. At the foot of the mountain, you saved an injured black wolf."I froze.'Seven years ago. Silver Moon Valley. A black wolf.'The memory suddenly came rushing back.That was the first year after I became Edmund's fiancee. I was desperate to prove my worth, so I hunted relentlessly.One time, at the foot of the mountain, I found an injured black wolf. It was covered in blood and barely breathing. Its eyes could hardly stay open.At the time, I thought it was just an ordinary wolf. I used my own medicine to treat its wounds and fed it herbs.I stayed with it for three days until it was finally out of danger.Later, I had to hurry home, so I left some food behind befor

The truth was, Leon really was a little crazy.Afterward, I lay sprawled across the bed. My entire body was sore. He wrapped an arm around me from behind, and his fingers gently traced along my arm."What are you thinking about?" he asked.I turned and shot him an annoyed glare. "I'm wondering who started those ridiculous rumors about you."He chuckled softly and pulled me closer."I did."I froze."What?"His chin rested in the hollow of my shoulder. His tone was casual. "My parents were pushing me nonstop to find a mate, so I figured I'd spread a few rumors. I told people I went insane on full moon nights and bit people. I said a witch cursed me, and that I'd kill my own mate.""Did they stop pressuring you then?""They pressured me even harder." He laughed. "But the more outrageous the rumors became, the fewer shewolves wanted to become my mate. That meant I could keep protecting you."I fell silent.It had been seven years.He had protected me for seven years."What

Chapter 10

Edmund still hadn't given up.Every single day after that, he showed up at the gates of the manor right on time.Sometimes he brought flowers, and other times gifts. Sometimes, he simply knelt there without saying a word.Eventually, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I went out to see him.The moment he saw me step outside, his entire face lit up. He staggered to his feet."Florence!"He ran forward and grabbed my hand. "Florence, you finally came to see me!"I pulled away. "What do you want?"He quickly withdrew his hand."Florence, look!" he said eagerly. "I've already dissolved the mate bond with Lily! We can be together again!"I froze.When I didn't say anything, he must have thought I was wavering. He quickly dug into his coat and pulled out a small ring.It was the one I had thrown into the trash."Florence, this is the ring you threw away. I found it!" He exclaimed with tears in his eyes."Please forgive me, okay? I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you–"
