Todos los capítulos de They Chose the Wrong Man: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 10

After graduation, I spent a year apprenticing under my mentor in the neutral lands, where there were no packs, no laws, and no one to protect me.My sister, Evelina Duskbane, the Lycan Chairwoman, nearly lost her mind over it. She was terrified I would fall for some Rogue and recklessly form a mate bond.So before I could decide anything for myself, she approved an arranged match for me.Seris Thornhart, the only daughter of Alpha Alaric Thornhart of Frostfang, the strongest pack in Northmere. Beautiful, dangerous, and legendary.Then Evelina ordered me home for the mating ceremony, leaving me no choice but to visit the finest ceremonial motor house in the city and select a wedding car worthy of the occasion.The moment I stepped inside, my eyes went straight to a silver wedding car with a black crest worked into the bodywork. Just as I reached for the reservation tag beside it, a lazy male voice cut in."I like the one he's chosen. I'll take it. Hand it over."Before I could react, th

I had heard from Evelina that Alpha Alaric Thornhart had paid a steep price just to secure this arrangement. If he ever learned his daughter had ruined it with her own hands, the fallout ought to be worth watching.That thought steadied me enough that I stopped wasting energy on the fools around me. I turned to leave, but Dorian refused to let it end there.Emboldened by Seris's open protection, he grabbed my arm."Don't think about walking away, thief. You took the ceremonial wedding car I wanted and shoved me. I'm not done with you."I turned back. "Then what exactly do you want?"He mistook calm for weakness and lunged for my throat."I'll break the hand you used to touch that car," he snarled. "Then let's see how you still stand in Frostfang's procession."I caught his wrist and drove a punch into his ribs, forcing him back.His face twisted. "You—"I shoved him away. "Satisfied?"He staggered back and immediately hid behind Seris, outrage replacing arrogance."Lady Seris, you have

I was no saint. After what Dorian had done to me, I had no intention of letting him walk away untouched.Evelina glanced at me. "Do it, Caelan. Let them understand that no one in our family is bullied."My eyes stayed on Dorian.I bent down, picked up the heavy steel tool he had used on my hand, and walked toward him.He went rigid at once. "If you touch me, Lady Seris will never forgive you—"I did not waste time arguing.I grabbed his wrist, forced his hand onto the floor, and brought the tool down across his knuckles.His scream tore through the room."My hand!"I leaned down, close enough for only him to hear."Didn't you say you wanted to make sure I could never stand in Frostfang's wedding procession?" I asked quietly. "Then you should have expected the same in return."His face turned white. He tried to pull away, but the Gamma warrior holding him only forced him lower.I picked up the file for the ceremonial wedding car and held it in front of him. Then I looked down at him and

A week later, I finished recovering at the Moon Goddess Temple and returned to Frostfang.By then, nearly every werewolf in the country had heard the story of Frostfang's heiress making the worst mistake possible. She had offended the beloved brother of the Lycan Chairwoman, the highest authority in the werewolf world.For days, every pack had been watching in silence, afraid of taking the wrong side.Evelina and I were temporarily working out of Frostfang's council hall, which had, for all intents and purposes, become the country's temporary center of power.That afternoon, I was sitting by the window with a book in hand when a Gamma warrior entered and bowed."Lycan Chairwoman, Mr. Ashford, the Alphas of Crimson Hollow and Nightfang request an audience."I glanced at Evelina. She sat at the head of the hall with her eyes closed, looking completely at ease. Without opening them, she said lazily, "Let them in."Soon, two imposing figures stepped inside, followed by attendants carrying

Evelina and I were having coffee in Frostfang's council hall. The air was thick with tension. Off to one side, Alpha Alaric Thornhart stood motionless, rigid as stone.Time dragged until footsteps broke the silence.Two Gamma warriors entered, dragging in what was left of Seris and Dorian.For a moment, something like pain crossed Alaric's face when he saw his daughter. It vanished almost at once, replaced by fear and cold fury.He did not move to help her.Instead, he strode forward, seized Seris by the back of the neck, and forced her down in front of me."You disgrace," he said through clenched teeth. "Apologize."Before Seris could speak, Alaric drove a hard punch into her face. Then another. Blood spilled from her mouth and dripped onto the floor."Do it," he barked. "Apologize to Mr. Ashford."Seris was too broken to resist. Whatever pride had once held her upright had already been beaten out of her in Silver Cell. She could only kneel there and endure it.When Alaric finally sto
