Semua Bab The Unwanted Mate: Bab 1 - Bab 10

The moment the cell door swung open, damp, freezing air rushed in.Rae pulled her designer coat close and stepped down the stairs in her heels. Nine whole days without a single ray of sunlight in the pack cell, yet her face was dead calm. She looked like she had just checked out of a hotel.A custom black stretch Cadillac was idling by the curb.The window rolled down, revealing Colton's sharp, rugged face."Get in," he rasped, his dark eyes locked on her, fists tight around the steering wheel. "Still so stubborn. It's cold and damp in there, and you haven't even recovered. Why are you acting tough?"Rae silently got into the back seat. Once, a bit of hidden care behind his tough act would have made her heart flutter. Now, her wolf was completely dead inside, giving zero response."My phone was off because Tessa had a panic attack during the full moon," Colton frowned, his voice full of casual arrogance as she stayed quiet. "She needed my pheromones to calm down. Rae, you're a mature L

Rae didn't even give them a second look. She hung her soaked coat on the rack."The guest rooms are empty. Pick whichever one you want," her voice was dead flat. She walked straight past them toward the stairs.Colton froze, spoon mid-air. A flash of pain hit his eyes.He shot up from the couch and rushed up the steps, blocking her path. "Rae, it's pouring outside. Tessa just came to check on my cat here. Do you have to be so cold to me?""I'm just helping you host your guest," Rae stepped sideways to dodge his touch. "I'm going to the study to pack some private files. Help yourselves."Colton glared at her, fists clenched tight. Her calm face felt like a series of invisible slaps, sending him into a panic. But he forced his anger down, turning around to head to the third-floor command center to handle pack business.Rae entered the study and started gathering audit files and equity documents."This room is mine from now on."Tessa leaned against the doorway, holding her million-dollar

"Rae, are you out of your mind?! Checking yourself out before you're healed?!"The hospital door flew open, and Colton burst in holding a huge bouquet of white roses, his eyes filled with panic and rage.Rae didn't even glance at the flowers. She casually buttoned her designer coat with a dead calm face. "I'm not crazy. The doctor cleared me. Plus, I have things to do.""What could be more important than your health?!" Colton strode forward, reaching out to grab her shoulders, his voice laced with raw anxiety. "If it's about visiting your mother's grave... I cleared my entire schedule today. I'm coming with you!"In four years, this was the first time he ever offered to accompany her to the suburban cemetery.Rae looked up, her cold eyes fixing on his frantic face. "Suit yourself."After a fast drive, the car pulled up outside the quiet cemetery on the outskirts of town.A light rain drizzled from the sky. Colton opened a black umbrella, carefully holding it over Rae's head, terrified

At two in the morning, a sharp ringtone shattered the dead silence."Luna! Please come to the private hospital right away!" The assistant's frantic voice was on the verge of tears. "The Alpha's rut hit early and triggered his mania! His wounds aren't even stitched up yet, and his wild pheromones are wrecking the entire room! Only your pheromones can calm him down!"Hearing the faint beastly roars and crashing glass over the line, Rae leaned back against the headboard without even blinking."I'm weak, and my inner wolf is in pain. I can't take the shock of wild pheromones." Rae's voice was as calm as discussing the weather. "Get him a heavy sedative. Don't call me again."She hung up and shut off her phone in one smooth motion.Early the next morning.The front door slammed open with a deafening bang.Colton stood there, his face deathly pale, radiating a freezing aura of unspent rage. He glared at Rae sitting on the couch drinking coffee, his eyes filled with total shock and fury."Rae

"Cut the bullshit, Tessa!"Inside the hospital VIP room, Colton's roar nearly shattered the glass."I watched the deck security footage! You grabbed her first! Tell me what the hell happened out there!"Tessa flinched back under the covers, her eyes instantly brimming with tears. She squeezed her bruised wrist, playing the victim."Colton! You actually believe her over me?!" Tessa cried hysterically. "Rae is completely insane! She's still mad that you bought me that apartment last month! She dragged me down! She wanted both of us to drown! I pushed her to defend myself! She knew you were watching! She did it on purpose just to ruin me!"Colton stared at her, feeling like he was seeing this woman for the first time.Wolves hated water. On top of that, Rae almost drowned as a child. She was terrified of it. That was why he made sure their wedding was nowhere near the ocean. He knew that. Tessa knew that too.His golden wolf eyes filled with blood. His violent Alpha aura exploded through
