Semua Bab Werewolf Party- Heiress’s Revenge: Bab 1 - Bab 9

"Vera, what's wrong?""Move — everyone move!"Liam shoved through the crowd, reaching for me with alarm in his eyes.But Rain stepped in front of him, smiling.She glanced down at me with contempt. "Vera, your next role must be a wolfsbane victim, right? No wonder the performance is so convincing. You almost fooled all of us."She held up her phone — my upcoming play's promotional poster.Liam glanced at it. His concern twisted into anger.Rain looked at me on the ground, smug. "But no matter how good you are, you missed one thing — there's no wolfsbane in my soup. If there was, why am I the only one who feels nothing?"The others chimed in immediately."Exactly! I had the soup too — if it was poisoned, why am I fine?""She's just trying to frame Rain!"The amount of wolfsbane in the soup was tiny. Only someone like me — who still carried traces of the old poisoning — would react to it. Everyone else was unaffected.But the burning and the suffocation left me no strength to explain.Li

The boulder sealing the cave entrance exploded inward.My father stormed in with his strongest warriors behind him.The wolves holding me released their grip instantly, stumbling backward in terror.My father's eyes found me — drenched in soup, blood running down my arm, skin white as death. A low snarl ripped from his throat."Who are you? How dare you break into our party!" Rain shrieked.CRACK.My father didn't lift a finger. His Alpha aura alone sent Rain flying into the cave wall.She hit the rock with a scream and crumpled to the ground, her right hand bent at a grotesque angle."My hand!" Rain wailed, clutching her arm. "I'm a healer! Without my hands, I can't channel my healing!"My father's gaze swept over the spilled soup. He inhaled once, and his expression turned lethal. He walked to where Rain lay."A healer — and you couldn't sense the wolfsbane still in her system? You fed her more poison on top of it?"He raised his foot over her remaining good hand. "You don't deserve

"What — what did you just say?" Liam surged forward, but the warriors held him back.Through the wall of bodies, his red-rimmed eyes found mine."Vera, I'm sorry! I didn't know you'd been poisoned. I didn't know who you were. Rain fooled me — that's the only reason I didn't believe she'd put wolfsbane in the soup. If I'd known the truth, I never would have — ""Never would have what?" I cut him off. "Never would have let them force a second bowl of poison down my throat? Never would have watched me crawl toward the exit and done nothing? Never would have walked away while I bled on the floor?"Every sentence landed like a slap. The color drained from his face."Alpha Hale." He turned to my father, his voice barely a rasp. "Please forgive my stupidity. I'll do anything to make it up to Vera. Please — give me the chance."My father's gaze held nothing but contempt."Three years ago, you saved my daughter once. In return, I intervened in secret — raised your pack's reputation, gave you th

A gaunt, twisted figure lunged out. Rain.Her face was a web of hideous scars.The worst was her mouth — her once-beautiful fangs had been nearly all ripped out, leaving only a few blackened, broken stubs jutting from ruined gums."I've been waiting for you, you bitch! Let's go to hell together!"She charged at me, shrieking, a silver dagger raised high — its blade coated in wolfsbane — aimed straight at my throat.I had no time to dodge.A blur of motion — faster than Rain — slammed into her from the side.Rain's broken fangs missed me. Instead, the wolfsbane-coated dagger slashed across the neck of the man who'd thrown himself between us.Liam.He let out a muffled grunt, his body convulsing violently, but he used every ounce of remaining strength to pin the thrashing, snarling Rain against the rocks."You want to die?!" My father and his warriors rushed in.CRACK.Rain didn't even get to scream. The wolves tore her apart in an instant — nothing left but a smear of blood and flesh.I
