บททั้งหมดของ Alpha Begged Heiress Luna Back: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 9

I closed my eyes and awakened the wolf that had been sleeping deep inside me.That power had been sealed away for three years. When I came to the Northern Territories, my father had warned me — never reveal the scent of the Blood Shadow Pack, or the whole point of the training would be lost.Three years ago, I'd come north alone to prepare for inheriting my father's position as Alpha King.The moment I set foot on Dark Moon territory, a pack of roaming rogues cornered me deep in the forest.Silver-tipped arrows screamed through the air. My wolf form was still too unstable to fight back.That was when Leo appeared.He tore through six rogues single-handedly, standing before me drenched in blood, his face hard. "What pack are you from? Why are you out here alone?"That was the first time I saw him. Savage. Fierce. But with eyes that were somehow clean.Later, when he found out my wolf form wasn't stable yet, he went out of his way every full moon to find rare moongrass and leave it by my

When I woke up, I was lying in bed at the estate, my shoulder bandaged and throbbing faintly.Leo sat at the bedside, eyes bloodshot, face heavy with guilt."I'm sorry. Selena's always been fragile. It happened so fast — I was afraid she wouldn't make it, so I went to her first."He reached out to touch my face. I turned away."Please don't be mad at me. Hit me, yell at me — anything. Just don't shut me out."I stared at the ceiling and said nothing.What was there to say?Every last feeling I had died the moment he threw himself at Selena.The hollow place in my chest didn't ache anymore. It was just... empty. Like someone had scooped something out, and wind was pouring through the gap.When I still didn't speak, Leo panicked. He leaned in close. "Our three-year anniversary is in three days. I'll take you somewhere — anywhere you want. Just name the place."I was quiet for a moment. Then: "The Southern Territories.""The Southern Territories?" He blinked. "That's really far.""Yeah."

Meanwhile, Leo had just finished the marking ceremony.After the pack members dispersed, he stood alone in the altar square when an inexplicable wave of unease hit his chest.Like something had been ripped out of him.He reached for his phone on instinct and dialed my number."Sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service..."He frowned and tried again."Sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service..."The mechanical voice repeated over and over.The expression on Leo's face froze, inch by inch.He suddenly remembered something, turned, and ran toward the estate.The moment he pushed open the door, he stopped dead.Empty.The closet was empty. The vanity was empty. A layer of burnt ash sat in the fireplace.There was no trace of me left anywhere in the estate.Even the roses had been ripped out by the roots. The garden was nothing but rows of upturned soil.He stumbled into the living room. His eyes landed on the table.The ring sat there, perfectly still.Leo picked it up

Before I could speak, a deep voice came from behind me."Hands off."I turned.An Alpha stepped out of the crowd of guests.Tall, dressed in a dark gray military-style overcoat, the Rift Valley Pack crest pinned at his collar. Two fully armed warriors followed in lockstep behind him.Cain.He didn't spare Leo a single glance. His gaze went straight to Selena.Selena was still blocking my path, oblivious to what was happening behind her.Cain gave the faintest lift of his chin.His two warriors stepped forward and locked onto Selena's arms, dragging her aside without effort."What are you doing? Let go of me!" Selena thrashed and shrieked.Leo's face twisted.He broke free from the wolf guards and rushed at Cain. "Who the hell are you? What gives you the right to touch her?"Cain finally looked at him. His gaze was about as interested as if he were studying a roadside weed.No answer.Leo felt the sting of being ignored. A vein pulsed in his neck. "I'm the Alpha's son of the Dark Moon P

The next time I saw Leo was more than half a year later.By then, the Dark Moon Pack was already in freefall.My father hadn't moved against them directly. He'd simply revoked every trade route and resource-sharing agreement the Blood Shadow Pack had extended to the north.Without Blood Shadow's support, the Dark Moon Pack's standing in the Northern Territories collapsed. Smaller neighboring packs wasted no time chipping away at their borders.The pack blamed everything on Leo.He was the one who'd provoked the Alpha King. He'd marked the wrong person, then driven her to her death. He'd dragged the entire pack into ruin.The Elder Council voted to strip Leo of his status as heir.His father — the Dark Moon Alpha — reportedly sat through the council session without saying a word. In the end, he pressed his seal on the resolution.Leo didn't fight it.My mating ceremony with Cain was set for the next full moon.The union of the Blood Shadow Pack and the Rift Valley Pack was the biggest e
