《Left for Dead, I Join the Wolves》全部章節：第 1 章 - 第 8 章

The next day, I limped my way to the patrol headquarters to submit my application form. On the way back, my phone buzzed twice with a message from Kael."Lenore, where did you go? Riven was badly shaken up by what happened, so she needs to go back to the pack's estate to recover. Come back quickly. We're about to leave."My tears fell at once.Riven was the apple of our parents' eye, while I was nothing but a miserable outcast left to fend for myself.Only Kael had ever truly been good to me, and our wolves had accepted each other.I was just about to reply when I spotted the Dark Wolf pack's vehicle parked by the roadside not far ahead. The guards were clearing the last of the evacuation route in front of it.Kael stood by the vehicle, glancing at his phone screen again and again.Mom was helping Riven into the car as though she was made of glass, while Dad carefully tucked a cushion behind Riven's back.The driver, Viktor Craven, started the engine. Then, he said to Kael, who

Kael stared at Stellan in disbelief.He grabbed Stellan's arm and said in an urgent and flustered voice, "That's impossible. There's no way Lenore would leave. Take me to the patrol outpost right now."He was about to stride off as he spoke, but Riven immediately stepped forward and gripped his arm tightly."Kael, don't go," she said gently with a face filled with concern. "The town just survived a rogue attack, and everything is still in chaos. It's too dangerous for you to go charging over there. Besides, the she-wolf who left couldn't have been Lenore."You two are about to have your mating ceremony soon. And given how much she values it, how could she possibly run off to the distant and dangerous Southern Border without a word?"Riven's words instantly calmed the panicked Kael down. His tense body slowly relaxed, and he let out a deep breath.He must be thinking that Riven was right, that Stellan must have mistaken someone else for me. After all, ever since we were little, my

My leg had indeed nearly been crippled by the wolfsbane poison.It was Caspian who recognized the severity of my injuries and immediately rushed around, calling in every favor he had to secure a rare and specialized antidote from a neighboring pack.The moment the antidote took effect, the searing pain that had spread through my entire body finally began to fade.Caspian looked at my pale, haggard face and sighed in resignation."You fool, from now on, love yourself. Don't keep hurting yourself for people who aren't worth it."Those simple words struck every chord in my heart at once. All the grievances I had bottled up for years suddenly melted away.I let go of the past completely and made up my mind to leave my old life behind for good.I turned on my phone, which had been silent for a long time, and typed out a brief message to Kael."Kael, I'm calling off our engagement. From now on, let's each go our own way. Don't contact me again."After sending the message, I immediat

My parents froze on the spot, utterly incredulous.In their eyes, there was absolutely no way the bond between Kael and me could be severed just like that, let alone the possibility of me falling for someone else so easily.Seeing their stunned expression, I spoke calmly and openly."The only reason I came back was to see Kael one last time. In a few days, I'll be leaving for another pack to hold the mating ceremony with my mate. I won't be coming back anymore."Dad flew into a rage, his voice rising as he berated me, "How could you leave Alpha Kael? He was gravely injured and bedridden because of you, and now you turn around and find someone else? How can you be so heartless? Doing this will make our family unable to hold our heads up in the entire pack!"I couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. Even at this moment, it was never my pain or my happiness that he cared about. From beginning to end, all that mattered to him was the family's pathetic reputation.I couldn't be bother
