《The Alpha's Exiled Mate》全部章節：第 1 章 - 第 10 章

ARIAI could only stand there and watch as my partner marked another woman—and there was nothing I could do.But let me take you back to how it all started. Just an hour earlier, everything had felt like a dream coming true.***"Now, everyone, prepare to mark your mate."The Elder's voice booms across the ceremonial grounds, and my heart leaps into my throat. I watch Declan Cross, the Alpha's son, weaving through the crowd of unmated wolves. His dark hair catches the moonlight, and those storm-gray eyes scan the faces around him.Is he looking for me?My wolf, Kelly, stirs with anticipation. He's coming. I can feel it.I smooth down my dress—a simple cream-colored thing I bought with money saved from working double shifts at the pack clinic. It's not fancy, but it's mine. It's clean. It's respectable.Declan and I have been together for three years. Three years of stolen moments, whispered promises, and careful touches. We've never marked each other, never made it official, but he to

DECLAN"Summon all wolves. Every pack member is to be recalled. This is urgent."I don't look up from the documents spread across my desk as I issue the command. My Beta, Antony, shifts his weight—a tell that he wants to ask questions. He knows better."All of them, Alpha?" he ventures anyway."Did I stutter?""No, Alpha. I'll send word immediately."Finally, I glance up. Antony stands rigid, his expression carefully neutral. Good. I'm not in the mood for debates or suggestions. My parents are dying, and I need the best healer in the werewolf world to save them. Dr. W is a ghost—no face, no scent, no pack affiliation. Finding someone who doesn't want to be found requires casting the widest net possible."I want every wolf back. No exceptions."Antony nods and turns to leave, but the door swings open before he reaches it.Celeste glides in wearing a dress that probably cost more than most pack members make in a month. Her dark hair is swept over one shoulder, and she's wearing that smi

DECLANThree days later, I stand outside the sickroom with my arms crossed, staring at the closed door. Antony shifts his weight beside me, and I can tell from his expression that the news isn't good."Still nothing from Dr. W?" I ask."No, Alpha. We've sent multiple letters. All confirmed delivered. But there's been no response."I'm not surprised. Dr. W doesn't answer to anyone—not even Alphas. That's part of what makes her so damn elusive."Send another letter," I say. "Make it more earnest this time. Increase the offer significantly. Make it clear we're serious.""Yes, Alpha." Antony pulls out his phone to make notes.I glance at the sickroom door again, then back at him. Almost as an afterthought, I ask, "So Aria Sinclair should be on her way back by now. Where is she?"Antony's fingers pause over his phone screen. He hesitates, just for a second, but I notice."She... hasn't replied either, Alpha."I blink. "What?""We've sent the recall notice multiple times. All confirmed deli

DECLANI stare at Antony like he's lost his mind."The orphan? Aria, the girl I banished six years ago... is Dr. W?"Antony nods slowly, his expression carefully neutral. "The scouts confirmed it twice, Alpha. Same address. Same location."I shake my head. "That's impossible. There has to be a mistake.""I thought the same thing," Antony admits. "But the surveillance team triple-checked. Every letter we've sent to Dr. W has been delivered to Aria Sinclair's residence. Every single one."My wolf stirs uneasily, torn between excitement and confusion.It can't be her. The quiet girl who worked at the pack clinic, who studied basic herbs in the orphanage—

DECLANThe woman in the mask takes a step back, her entire body going rigid. Even without seeing her face, I can read the panic in her posture—the way her shoulders draw up, the sudden tension in her hands.She’s afraid.But of what?“Alpha,” Antony says again, his voice ringing with excitement. “I found it! She must be—”He’s staring at his tablet, then at the masked woman, his eyes bright with realization.“Dr. W!” Antony practically shouts, his face splitting into a huge grin. “Please don’t hide your identity! You must be the great, mysterious Dr. W!”The words hang in the air.
