Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Pack's Heroine Don't Need Your Regrets: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

I looked in the mirror and the woman who looked back at me seemed hesitant. The dark blue dress she was wearing hadn't managed to disguise the flesh on her chest and thighs as I would have liked, but I guess there wasn't even enough fabric for that. She seemed… Modest, thankfully. The makeup was perfectly concealing the freckles scattered across her cheeks. And anyone who saw those clothes would know that Alpha Vitale's family wasn't spending on luxuries. Most of our gold had to go to our people and the areas affected by the demon attacks.They were the priority, and it was our duty to demonstrate they were even above the comfort of the Alpha's children.“You look beautiful, darling.” my nanny’s compliment made me smile hesitantly at my reflection in the mirror, calming my heart.“Thanks, Verity.” I shook the skirt, the roughness of the dress causing an itch in my fingers “The fabric might be a little… Well, the seamstresses did a great job, that’s what matters.” I twirled around, a

His words cut so deep that, for a moment, I even felt my breath catch in my throat.Why did he always have to be so merciless? He knew my magic meant so much to me, even though my health had never allowed me to use it as I should. It was something I had inherited from our mother. A bond I had maintained with her even after she was murdered when we were children. I hadn't just been pushing myself in the last few months, ever since Rosalind appeared. My whole life, I trained and tried to squeeze every last drop of magic out of me.And even then it wasn't enough. That was the worst part. I think that's why I never had the strength to respond to Leon the way I should have, when he attacked me like that.I wasn't like Rosalind. My magic didn't flow easily like a river or obey me whenever I needed it. Every spell, every healing session I performed in the capital's temple, however quick, drained my energy far too quickly. I could never help everyone in need. I was forced to watch their hope

I woke up with my head throbbing so hard I almost felt nauseous. My mind was confused, but remnants of a bad dream were disturbing my thoughts. So much so that I needed a moment to figure out if that discomfort was part of the nightmare or if it was real. I tried to breathe deeply, but my ears continued to hurt, bothered by a ringing that lasted longer than I expected, becoming more stable, until it sounded almost like words.“How can you be so lazy even in a situation like this?!” The sound suddenly began to sound like Leon’s voice “Get up before I have to drag you out!”It was painful even to force my eyes open, but I did it anyway. The sunlight stung my retinas, and it took me a moment to make out my brother's face in the doorway of my small tent. Seeing how furious he looked made m

"Rosalind!" I shouted, but it was too late.The interior of the cave was gigantic, the brightness of the entrance giving way to increasingly dense shadows, which became a deep darkness where Rosie disappeared, almost as if she had been swallowed. My heart pounded in my ears and, even with fear chilling my soul, I walked towards her as fast as possible, even though I could barely see anything in front of me.Rosie was probably too flustered, the Goddess's magic telling her she had to act fast. I could understand. I was feeling the same, even if certainly with less intensity than her. However, we couldn't be separated. I couldn't let the saint, our only hope, be attacked by one of those monsters.Fortunately, the deeper I stumbled into the cave, the more moonlight filtered through the cracks in the ceiling, allowing m

“There is no ‘but’!" my brother growled "She is a disgrace to my father and a disgrace to our lineage! She should be the one to resolve this, but, as always, she was nothing but useless! Look at Rosalind, all because of her! Because she is never able to help anyone!” Leon moved and I didn’t even have the strength to whimper in pain when his foot crushed my hand. I just lay there, writhing inside, while he kept talking. “Her life isn’t worth the same as Rosie’s. Let her die knowing she never tried hard enough for her own pack and that took its toll! And may the Goddess have mercy on her corrupted soul.”“Leon…” a pathetic whimper escaped me, a sound that surprised even me, as I struggled to form a complete sentence “I… D-don't…”“Quick! This is going to fall apart any minute! Are you going to keep wasting time with her and end up hurting Rosalind even more?!” he pressed my fiancé, making Sean look at me again.And, despite the sorrow and guilt on his face, the man I thought loved me s
