I was dismembered and thrown into an abandoned warehouse.Before my consciousness faded away, I used the last bit of my strength to send a message via mind link to Timothy Russell, the Alpha heir that I had loved for six years."Timothy, I'm in so much pain..."The next second, a cold mental barrier crashed down between us, cutting off all communication.That was his response to me.I knew I had been too presumptuous. I had disturbed him while he was at an auction helping his foster sister, Rochell Lucas.The moment my heart stopped beating, Timothy, who was helping Rochell put on a bracelet, felt his chest cave in.While everyone watched, the future Alpha knelt on the ground as countless bone-deep wounds appeared across his body out of nowhere.He convulsed in agony, screaming my name.Only then did everyone notice a glowing blood pact mark appearing on his tongue.I remembered.Once upon a time, he swore an oath to the moon. "If I ever betray Leah, every bit of suffering she has endu

Timothy could not utter a single word in the face of Chad’s questioning.What could he say? That he had personally disconnected my mind-link? That while I was crying in agony in some dark corner, he was standing in a brightly-lit auction hall, smiling and buying a bracelet for Rochell?The anger in Chad's eyes almost leaped out when he looked at Timothy.He had actually prepared for the worst before coming here.The stench of blood in that abandoned warehouse and the terrifying claw marks imprinted on the concrete floor had nearly caused his heart to stop beating.However, he refused to believe that his silly sister, the girl who had trained herself to the point of exhaustion countless times to catch up with Timothy, was gone.He needed to overturn the maddening idea in his mind."Speak up!" Chad's voice trembled with extreme agitation."Chad, calm down!" Rochell stepped in front of Timothy again, her face covered in tears. "I know you're worried about Leah. Everyone is worried

"The amputated limbs were retrieved from the lower end of the river near the border. It had been in the water for so long that not a single piece of intact flesh could be found. The only thing that could be identified was the initials that she tattooed on her left wrist for you."Chad pulled out a photograph of the tattoo and shoved it in Timothy's face.The letters, which had been soaked white by the water and had blurry edges, were like a red-hot branding iron, searing through Timothy's pupils.'Dead? Leah's... dead? Impossible! She's just throwing a tantrum. She just ran away with another wolf. How could she possibly die?' Timothy wondered."Nonsense!" Timothy forcefully threw the photo away, ignoring the pain in his chest and struggling to sit up."She can't be dead! You guys must be mistaken!""Mistaken?" Chad scoffed. "Timothy, are you still deceiving yourself? Didn't you confidently claim earlier that she betrayed her mate and ran off with another werewolf? Then why was sh

The pack office was in complete chaos.Timothy was rushed back to the treatment room immediately.This time, he firmly refused Rochell's company.Lying in bed, he was covered with gauze soaked in medicine. The large, red, swollen blisters with flaked skin decorating his body were exactly the same as the silver burns described in the autopsy report.He finally had to confront the absurd yet very real truth.All the intense pain he was experiencing was a perfect match for the torture I had endured before my death.The memories he had deliberately ignored now flooded his mind. I had told him I was secretly investigating the disturbances at the territory border. I had warned him that the pack's defense was weak and that Rogues had infiltrated.How did he reply at that time?"Leah, put aside your self-righteous hero fantasies and just stay at home. Territory defense is the warriors’ job. You can't even maintain your wolf form properly. Don't cause any trouble for me."His arrogance

"No! Timothy, you can't say that about me!"Rochell clung to Timothy's legs, completely hysterical. "What did I do wrong? I just wanted to be your mate! It was Leah! She was the one who hogged you! She deserves to be torn apart! I've been with you for so many years! Why does your wolf choose her the moment she shows up? I finally made you hate her and got you back. I can't lose you again! I'm jealous of her. I hate her! I want her dead!"All her composure and restraint had vanished, leaving only the ugliest possessiveness.Timothy looked at the deranged female werewolf at his feet, his eyes filled only with endless loathing. He kicked her away with such force that the blood from his old wound seeped through the bandage again. "Don't touch me with your filthy hands."His voice was so calm that it was terrifying. "Rochell, the elders will punish you with the harshest pack laws for the crimes you've committed, but I'll make you wish you were dead before your punishment even starts. Ev
