Chapter 1

This was year five of my mission to win over Serena, and tonight she'd left me alone at the office again, working late into the night.Everything around me was pitch dark. Not a single soul on the streets at this hour.I was flat broke. Walking home from the office would take at least two hours, and I couldn’t shift into wolf form in the city. After a moment's hesitation, I pulled out my phone and called Serena.The phone barely rang twice before she hung up.I sighed. Of course. When had she ever cared? I'd just walk home.The silence was suffocating. The darkness felt like it was hiding something dangerous. When I first transmigrated into this world, I'd heard constant reports of rogue wolves attacking people on the streets. They said rogues were savage — they'd tear you apart without a second thought. If I ran into one on the way home...The thought made me walk faster.My phone suddenly rang, nearly scaring me out of my skin. I answered, and Adrian's smug voice poured through the

Serena stared. "What did you just say?""I'd like an advance on next month's salary. I'm completely broke."Her face darkened instantly. "I knew it. You've been clinging to me this whole time for my money and my power."She barked at the driver to stop the car. "A man like you — I'd never be interested. Not in this lifetime."She slammed the door and stormed off.The Moon Goddess screamed inside my head. "What are you doing?! That was the perfect chance — how could you just ask for money?!"If she had a physical body, she'd be strangling me right now.I glanced at the near-zero balance on my phone. "I can barely stay alive. What am I supposed to do — skip the money and starve?"Now it was just me and Adrian in the car. The silence was glacial.He was the one who finally broke it. "Where do you live? I'll take you home."I hesitated. "Can you find me a cheap hotel? I'm broke. My landlady kicked me out. I'm basically homeless."Adrian's grip tightened on the steering wheel. "Seriously? T

After leaving the pack, I quickly settled into a position at Adrian's pack.On my very first day, he set up a private office for me and personally showed me how to handle the paperwork.Slowly, I realized he wasn't at all what the Moon Goddess had described — some reckless, debauched Alpha. He was deeply invested in his pack's affairs, handling almost everything himself.I actually admired him.During this time, I didn't hear from Serena once. It was as if she truly didn't care.Until one day.Serena's Beta came to Adrian's pack to discuss a partnership. Just as I was about to present the project proposal, he pointed at me and shouted."Wait — isn't that Ethan? No wonder he hasn't been around Serena lately. He traded up to Adrian."His voice echoed through the conference room. Everyone turned and started whispering.Adrian's expression turned cold. He fixed the Beta with a hard stare. "He's my employee now. Show some respect."The Beta didn't care. He sneered. "Employee? No wonder the

The partnership collapsed, so Serena came to negotiate in person.She watched me handle the work with ease, and something in her expression shifted.For the first time, she approached me voluntarily. "If you come back, I'll pretend none of this happened."This was a perfect opportunity. Even the Moon Goddess was urging me to say yes.But I took half a step back. That was my answer.Serena's smile froze. The cold, haughty mask slid right back into place. "Fine. Don't say I didn't give you a chance."If she couldn't have a partnership, then Adrian's pack was her biggest threat. The moment she returned, she launched an attack on his territory.War swept through the borderlands. When Adrian got word, he didn't hesitate — he brought me to the front lines.The fighting was fiercer than I'd imagined. Adrian came back wounded nearly every time.I handled logistics, and every night I sat with him, bandaging his injuries until well past midnight.Exhaustion was etched into every line of his face

Chapter 5

I didn't know how long I was unconscious. Sometimes I'd catch the faint sound of someone crying.When I finally opened my eyes, the hospital ceiling stared back at me. Adrian was slumped over the edge of my bed, asleep. He clearly hadn't rested in days — the dark circles under his eyes were brutal.It was the first time I'd ever seen him this close. Three months of war had left him covered in scars. A mark ran along his left eye — not deep, not shallow — impossible to miss.I caught myself staring, and something I couldn't name swelled up from somewhere deep inside.He must've sensed me moving, because his eyes snapped open. The moment he saw I was awake, he let out a long, shaky breath of relief — and then fury climbed straight onto his face.Every ounce of worry he'd been holding back came pouring out. "Are you an idiot?! You just threw yourself at a blade — do you have a death wish? That silver knife was two millimeters from your heart! Two! A fraction more and you'd be dead!"The m

It didn't stop there. At the office, I avoided Adrian for days.I even worked late on purpose so I wouldn't run into him after hours.He could never find a chance to talk to me. Gradually, we drifted apart. Even when we crossed paths, it was nothing more than a quick greeting.It tore me apart inside, but this distance was for the best. For both of us.Then one rainy night shattered everything.I'd just gotten off work. It was pouring. I'd forgotten my umbrella and was pulling up a ride-hailing app when a black car rolled to a stop in front of me.Adrian lowered the window. "Get in. I'll drive you home."He'd clocked out hours ago. Why was he here?For one fleeting, self-indulgent moment, I let myself believe he'd been waiting for me. Then I killed the thought.I needed to keep my distance. Getting in his car would undo everything."That's okay, Alpha. I'll grab a cab."That must've been the last straw. He flung the car door open, stepped into the downpour without caring, and marched s

Chapter 4

I moved back into Adrian's house. He still made me breakfast every morning, still drove me to and from work.What changed was that we'd steal kisses when no one was looking, and pour out everything we felt in the quiet of the night.We had a sweet stretch of time together.One day, the Moon Goddess's voice returned. "Congratulations — not only did you complete the mission, but you found your true love."I remembered how I'd cursed her every day when I first arrived in this world. Now, I was actually grateful. Without her, I never would've met Adrian.But something had always nagged at me. "Why did I succeed? Serena obviously never liked me."The Moon Goddess laughed mischievously. "I said you had to win over an Alpha. I never said which one. I just assumed Serena would be the easier target.""Didn't expect you to go and win over Adrian instead."So it really was that simple.Well, at least the ending was a good one. I smiled. "Thank you.""Don't mention it. I'm the goddess of werewolf

Chapter 8

Everything seemed to be going well. We'd been together in secret, never publicly.I thought we could go on like this forever. But I'd forgotten — a love kept hidden would always be just a beautiful dream.Adrian had never taken a Luna, and the pack Elders were growing anxious. No Luna meant no heir. No heir meant no future for the Alpha bloodline.They compiled profiles of every unmated female Alpha and every Alpha's daughter, pushing them at Adrian, hoping he'd pick a suitable she-wolf.He rejected them all. He even said he'd never enter an arranged union — not in this lifetime.Days passed. The Elders grew more desperate.They tried everything to persuade him. Eventually, they came to me."Ethan, you're closest to the Alpha. Can't you talk some sense into him? He can't go on like this.""He's right — without an heir, what happens to the pack?"My heart screamed no. But my head knew this was his duty as Alpha.I couldn't sacrifice an entire pack for my own selfish feelings."I'll talk
