After my Alpha mate broke my heart, my daughter and I chose cash over love. Even on a full moon, my daughter happily let him walk out the door."It's okay, Daddy. Just pay up. It's a full moon today, so that’s triple."The moment Mia said those innocent words, the guilt on Gideon's face vanished. His brows locked together, and his heavy Alpha aura flooded the room, raw and uncontrolled."Cora!" he snapped, standing up. "How the hell are you raising this child?!"I immediately pulled Mia behind me, shielding her from his crushing pressure."What else should I do? Teach her to beg for your love?" I said calmly. "Better she learns now, instead of being left with nothing, like me."Gideon went rigid. He instinctively looked at the mark on my neck. I felt a sharp, violent tug in my chest from our Mate bond. He was speechless, a vein throbbing on his forehead.Right then, his phone broke the dead silence.He answered, and Toby's voice rang out. "Uncle Gideon! You promised to take me hunting

Transfer Memo: [Rent for The Luna's Sanctuary]My hands shook so badly I almost dropped my phone.That was the sanctuary guarded by generations of Lunas. It held the wolf relics my mother cherished most. It was my only spiritual home.I drove like a maniac to the Sanctuary.Before I even got out of the car, I saw Gideon ordering workers to shatter the century-old wooden doors, carved with our pack's most sacred totems."Stop!" I lunged forward like a madwoman. I spread my arms wide, blocking the steps.The Mark on the back of my neck started bleeding from sheer anger and despair.Gideon pushed Vivian behind him. Seeing my bleeding neck, seeing me willing to tear our soul bond apart rather than submit, his pupils shrank. His mate instinct made him take a step forward. His voice carried a trace of panic. "Cora, your mark...""Didn't you say anything is for rent if the price is right?" He forced himself to stop, using coldness to hide his pity. "I already paid. Vivian needs a sacred pl

The sterile room was completely trashed. Expensive medical monitors lay smashed on the floor.A glaring trail of blood dragged from the operating table out into the cold hallway. It made my stomach churn."Where are they?!" Gideon’s eyes were bloodshot. He grabbed the lead surgeon by the collar. "Where is my daughter?!"The doctor trembled, his voice breaking into a sob. "Alpha, it was Vivian... She used your token and gave a strict order in your name! She forced all the doctors to go check young Toby for allergies. She didn't even leave an anesthesiologist behind... We missed the golden window. The pup’s heart gave out! We lost her!"Smash!Gideon slammed the doctor against the wall. Veins pulsed on his forehead."Find them! Tear this black market apart!" he roared like a mad beast.He remembered Cora’s desperate, tearful begging in the video. A giant fist crushed his heart.In his chest, the mate bond that used to connect their souls was dead silent.Cora had severed it.The agony of

Hearing the doctor's words, I let out a bitter laugh.Back in the alley, I told him, "You don't deserve Mia anymore." I never imagined it would become a literal truth.In my daughter's subconscious mind, Gideon the father was completely dead and buried."This is for the best." I looked at my pup with gentle eyes. "A dead hero father is much better than a living, hypocritical traitor."To avoid triggering Mia, I took her far away from that painful continent as soon as she recovered.We settled down in a neutral snowy town up north.No major Pack ruled here. The endless frozen forests were a paradise for free wolves.With the massive rent money Gideon paid me to appease Vivian, plus the cash from selling the relic hall and properties he signed over, I bought a log cabin with a yard and a nice SUV.Life finally found its peace.I took on high-paying jobs restoring ancient wolf relics and bone carvings. Not only did I get back to the work I loved, but I also made a name for myself in the i

I gladly accepted my daughter's pack profits.Back in the snowy town, Mia showed amazing talent for totem carving.Maybe it was her way of making up for her smashed bone collection, but she had a natural gift for this ancient art.I put everything into training her and promoting her on Pack Net.When she was thirteen, Mia hosted a solo bone-carving exhibition in Illusion Moon City. It was a massive hit.Her breathtaking wolf totems shocked the whole supernatural world.At seventeen, her pieces were selling for astronomical prices at top-tier underground interspecies auctions.I took her back to our old homeland and opened an Ancient Wolf Totem Museum.One day, while checking the museum's security cameras, Mia pointed at a blurry figure on the screen."Mommy, look at him," she frowned. "He's always the first to arrive and the last to leave. But he never asks for autographs or talks to anyone."I squinted, and my heart gave a hard thump.It was Gideon.The camera was fuzzy, but I recogni
