Lahat ng Kabanata ng This Time, I Let My Alpha Burn: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

Corbin looked at me with disdain, his voice dripping with loathing."You should be glad you're free, Ayla. What can the Laurel Pack even offer a powerful Alpha besides ancient marriage pacts? You're just a weak parasite, living on the faded glory of your ancestors."Murmurs spread through the guests.It was true. The Laurel Pack’s power had been declining for a decade, while the Black Moon Pack was more prosperous than ever."Corbin’s right!" Faye beside him let out a laugh. She put on an innocent act, leaned close to me, and sniffed lightly. "But I'm curious. The legends say Laurel women have a powerful Luna aura, so why don't I feel any pressure from Ayla at all?""Ayla, I know you’re desperate to cling to the future Alpha, but you really ought to know your place, don’t you think?"Looking at the two of them standing there arrogantly, I curled my lips slightly.In my past life, I was too meek, always trying to please everyone."Maybe the legends are exaggerated," someone snickered

The toxin gradually took effect, and my body began to twitch involuntarily.Corbin pressed his lips together and said coldly, “Enough. Stop pouring it.”Liam let me go. I collapsed onto the sofa, coughing uncontrollably.The burn of the silver vodka seared a path from my throat to my stomach. Every breath was like swallowing fire."This is just a small lesson," Corbin said, looming over me, his voice freezing cold. "If you ever dare to hurt Faye again, it won't be this easy."People were pointing and whispering. Some looked pleased, others offered fake sympathy."Serves her right. She's a vicious one.""Alpha Corbin handled that perfectly. That's how you deal with a woman like her."I ignored them and stumbled toward the restroom.Once inside a stall, I collapsed over the toilet and retched violently.Silvery liquid and stomach acid came up, each heave sending waves of agony through me.After recovering a little, a raging fury burned uncontrollably in my chest.In my last life, the cu

"I found it! I found it!" Faye held up her phone, her voice shaking with excitement. "An alternative! We don't need Ayla's song!"Logan and Elena immediately crowded around her."What is it?" Logan demanded.Faye scrolled frantically, a crazed light in her eyes. "I found a blood shaman on the shadow net. He says he can use an ancient ritual to find a distant relative with a trace of the goddess's bloodline—""And then?" Elena pressed."And use their life force to forge a temporary echo of the power!" Faye's cheeks were flushed. "As long as we find a she-wolf willing to sacrifice herself, we can stabilize Corbin!"Corbin stopped growling. A flicker of reason seemed to return."Really?" He stared intently at Faye's phone."It's true! The shaman said he's done it successfully many times!"Logan and Elena looked at each other, a spark of hope igniting in their eyes.I laughed to myself.I’d heard of this barbaric method in my past life.It worked, for a time. But the cost was an innocent s

We knew nothing of Corbin’s drama, nor did we care.At that moment, I was with Finn in the warm ocean breeze, choosing the next stop for our honeymoon.He was flipping through a leather-bound manual with ancient nautical charts, but his eyes kept wandering over to me.I couldn't help but laugh. "You're not even looking at these, are you?"Finn glanced at the sky. The moon was high. He smirked. "The night is young."I knew exactly what he meant. "Then… I'll go take a bath."He nodded, a flash of light in his eyes, like a wolf king waiting for the hunt.After we had both bathed, he dried my long hair for me, his movements gentle and meticulous, as if handling a priceless treasure.Soon, he swept me into his arms and gently laid me on the soft, massive bed.Finn stroked the mark on my neck. "Our bond… it feels even stronger."I closed my eyes, feeling the energy surging through my veins.The power of the Moon Goddess's blood was fully awakening.I could feel every one of Finn's emotions,
