Chapter 1

My father’s gaze locked onto the pack mating contract in my hand.On the line marked Bride, I had written——Amelia Ashford.For a moment he simply stared.Then he lunged forward to snatch it away.I lifted the contract over my head before he could reach it.His expression darkened instantly.“You’re not thinking of backing out, are you?”I shrugged.“Ten million dollars.”He stared at me as if lightning had struck him.“Have you lost your mind?!”I let out a quiet laugh.“A bastard daughter marrying into the Ironcrest Pack… becoming an Alpha’s Luna.”“That kind of opportunity for only ten million dollars.”“Sounds like a bargain to me.”His face turned an ugly.“You’re bargaining with your own father. Have you no shame?”“You’re free to refuse,” I said with a mocking smile.“After all, you’re the father who dumped me in an orphanage for ten years and only brought me home for a political mating alliance.”I pinched the edge of the contract.Then I tore a small slit in the paper.“Three.”

Chapter 2

Gabriel stood in front of us, a line of pack guards behind him.His expression was colder than winter frost.Guilt shot through me like I’d just been caught in the act.And yet—even like this, severe and terrifying—he was still breathtakingly handsome.Exactly my type.Tall. Noble. The kind of man whose mere presence made everyone else in the room fade into the background.Gabriel’s gaze found mine first.Before I could even hide the embarrassment on my face, his eyes drifted downward—To my hand.My fingers were still hooked beneath the young wolf attendant’s chin.In the next second—A low, threatening growl rolled through the room.One of Gabriel’s guards stepped forward, claws half-shifted, pressing them lightly against the attendant’s throat.The message was clear.Move again and you lose your head.Slowly… I withdrew my hand.Under Gabriel’s gaze, the air seemed to freeze solid.He didn’t even speak to me.Instead, he glanced at the unfortunate attendant and said coldly,“Get out！”

Chapter 3

Gabriel’s eyes were filled with disappointment.“You and Amelia are both daughters of the Ashford bloodline,” he said. “Why can’t you learn even half of her discipline and grace?”He let out a slow, weary sigh.“Forget it. Since this is your first mistake tonight, I’ll let it go.”“Go change into this gown. The Ironcrest Pack is hosting an Alliance Gala tonight.”“I’m not going,” I said immediately. “Take Amelia instead. She fits your image of the perfect Luna far better than I ever will.”Gabriel’s brows knitted together.“Abigail, can you show even a little responsibility? The mating contract is with you.”The words pierced me like a needle—sharp, sudden, humiliating.That had been the root of my misery in my previous life.Gabriel marked me because the mating contract demanded it.Because the Ironcrest Pack never breaks its word.Love had nothing to do with it.If Gabriel had been free to choose…He would have chosen Amelia long ago.Fine.This lifetime, I’ll give him exactly what he

Chapter 4

“Honestly, I feel a little sorry for you.My mother stole your mother’s man.And now your mate prefers me too.”“Just like your mother… you’re a loser.”My fists clenched so tightly.Amelia Ashford.You dare insult my mother?But before I could speak—Amelia suddenly staggered backward.She lost her balance and crashed into the champagne tower, glasses shattering across the floor.Chaos erupted instantly.Gabriel pushed through the crowd and caught her.He lifted his head and looked at me.Rage burned in his eyes like wildfire.His voice turned cold enough to freeze blood.“Did you push her?”“Apologize.”…Gabriel.We live in the modern world, not the Dark Ages.Are the surveillance cameras just decorations?You’re accusing me based on instinct?“It wasn’t me,I won’t apologize.” I said calmly.His expression hardened.“You’re hopeless.”Without hesitation he turned to the guards.“Discipline her.Let her reflect outside.”“Until she apologizes.”The pack guards stepped forward immediately.

Not long after, the doorbell rang.Amelia stood outside.Her face was pale, wrapped in several layers of bandages.“Alpha…I was worried about Abigail. Even though she hurt me tonight, I can’t bring myself to resent her.” she said weakly.She lowered her eyes.“I came to take her home.”Wrapped in a blanket, I walked into the living room.I was still wearing Gabriel’s shirt.When Amelia saw that, a flicker of jealousy flashed across her eyes.My gaze turned icy.I leaned closer and whispered into her ear.“Amelia… if you keep pretending to be the innocent victim, I’ll personally request the mating contract be dissolved.”Her voice died instantly.Fear flashed across her eyes.Before she could respond, Gabriel pulled me away, anger blazing across his face.“You’re bullying your sister again!Amelia is being generous. She didn’t blame you. She even came to bring you home.”“And this is how you treat her?”Amelia stepped forward and gently tugged at Gabriel’s sleeve.“It’s alright,” she said

Chapter 6

Gabriel POVThis was the grandest marking ceremony the Northern Territories had seen in decades.And it was mine.Everything followed the oldest traditions of wolfkind. Beneath the soaring dome of the Moon Goddess Temple, crystal-inlaid glass caught the sunlight and scattered it across the hall like shards of moonlight. Nearly every Alpha and noble bloodline from the North had gathered here, their low conversations filled with admiration and respect.They were talking about me.Gabriel Steele.Alpha of the Ironcrest Pack.And the woman I was about to mark.My Luna.I stood at the end of the temple aisle, my gaze fixed on the veiled bride waiting for me. Layers of white silk and lace concealed her figure, leaving only a quiet silhouette beneath the veil.And for the first time in days, I felt… relieved.At least she hadn’t insisted on showing up to the ceremony in one of those ridiculous outfits she loved so much—short skirts, leather boots, anything that would drive the elders of the p

Chapter 7

My Beta burst into the Moon Temple like a storm.He shoved past the gathered wolves and rushed straight toward me, breathing hard.“Alpha… our scouts spotted Miss Abigail at the airport. She boarded a flight. They even managed to take a picture.”My heart slammed against my ribs.I snatched the phone from his hand.The image on the screen was grainy, taken from a distance—but I didn’t need clarity.A woman stood at the boarding gate with a suitcase, a cap pulled low over her face and a mask hiding half her features.I recognized her instantly.Abigail.My hand tightened so violently the phone cracked in my grip. The next second I hurled it against the marble floor. Metal shattered across the stone.My wolf roared inside my chest.The entire temple fell silent.No wolf dared speak.I lifted my head slowly, my voice low—like thunder gathering before a storm.“Seal the Northern Territories.”The words hung in the air like a command carved in stone.“Close every pack border.”“Notify all a

Chapter 8

I ran out of the tower barefoot.The marble steps of the Ironcrest command tower were icy under my feet as I stormed down them, my jaw clenched so hard it hurt. I hadn’t slept all night. Exhaustion, fury, and something far worse burned behind my eyes, leaving them bloodshot.My car was already waiting outside, engine running.The private jet at Ironcrest Airfield had been ordered to prepare for immediate departure.The moment I slid into the back seat, someone stepped directly in front of the car.The driver slammed the brakes.Amelia.She wasn’t quietly crying this time. She looked desperate—hair disheveled, dress wrinkled, eyes swollen from days without sleep.She stood in the headlights like someone awaiting judgment.“Alpha… please.”Her voice trembled.“Please stop punishing the Ashford family. The pack has already taken our land rights and trade routes. My father can barely leave the house anymore.”She stepped closer to the car.“I know you’re angry. But Abigail left on her own.

Chapter 9

“I’m Gabriel Steele,” I said hoarsely. “Alpha of the Ironcrest Pack… and your fiancé.”My voice sounded like broken glass.“I found you.”Her name caught in my throat.“Abigail.”“I finally found you.”The words that followed were nothing like the commands I had spent my life giving as an Alpha.They sounded closer to a prayer.“Come home with me.”She frowned slightly, blinking as she studied my face like I was a stranger.“Alpha?” she said politely. “Hello… but I’m afraid we don’t know each other.”For a moment I couldn’t move.I had imagined this reunion a thousand different ways.None of them looked like this.My wolf roared inside my chest.“I could smell her.”“The same scent burned into my instincts.It was Abigail.”“She had to be pretending. She was angry. She wanted me to suffer first.Apologize.”My wolf snarled in my mind.Fix it. Now.“I know you’re angry with me,” I said quickly. “And you have every right to be. I’m sorry.”The music thundered around us, bass shaking the gr
