Todos los capítulos de After He Left Me to Freeze, I Rejected Him as My Mate: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 10

"You and Lyra planned this, didn't you? You agreed to make it sound worse than it is?"Theodore's expression darkened. He could not stand being challenged by a doctor."Lyra, stop pretending. Every time this happens, you sleep it off and wake up fine."Hearing him say my name took me back to the day they hid my emergency medication in an ice bucket.When the attack hit, I collapsed and struggled on the floor for more than ten minutes.Theodore stood over me with Eliana in his arms."Answer me, Lyra! Which do you love more: me or your own life?"I told him we were mates and that I loved him, but I wanted to live, too.He left the decision to Eliana."Ana, sweetheart, you decide."That day, I knelt at Eliana's feet for five minutes.She made me swear that whenever she needed Theodore, I would never get in the way.I clenched my teeth and never gave in.Only after I was admitted did Theodore take my hand and apologize. "I'm sorry, Lyra! I misjudged how far to take it. I promise there won'

At ten o'clock sharp, I still had not arrived.The Beta came rushing in, visibly rattled. "Alpha, the Luna has canceled the ceremony. The banquet will proceed as planned, and you're covering the cost."At that, Theodore sat straight up out of the coffin in his suit.A splinter had torn his cuff, leaving him looking both ridiculous and undignified.Rowena Pierce, Westridge's former Luna, stormed into the venue and ripped down the memorial portrait.She planted herself beside the coffin and demanded, "Tell me what you've done to Lyra this time!"Eliana sat up in Theodore's arms."Luna Rowena... it was only a pre-wedding test, only a joke. Lyra loves Theodore so much, she would never take it to heart."Rowena ignored her and turned on her son instead. "Then why is Lyra still not here? Beta Grayson said she went to the hospital!"Theodore climbed out of the coffin, his expression icy."She's always been frail. A cold breeze is too much for her. Now she's canceled the ceremony and humiliate

My father found the ward empty and tracked my phone straight to me.He ran into the funeral home just in time to see Theodore holding Eliana.He rushed over and lifted me up.My lips were purple, and my body temperature had plummeted.The staff hurried to shut off the refrigeration unit."Ms. Vale told us to keep it cold. She had us turn the unit on.""We had no idea she had cold agglutinin disease."The remote was still in Eliana's hand.Tears sprang to Eliana's eyes. "We were only playing a game. I had no idea the Luna's condition could be this serious."Theodore stepped in front of her. "Call an ambulance first. Blaming her won't help."My father drove his fist into Theodore's face."So you do remember how to call an ambulance?"When the ambulance arrived, Theodore was about to climb in.Eliana called after him from behind, "Alpha Theodore, I can't breathe properly."His step faltered.When Theodore was eighteen, someone poisoned him with wolfsbane. Eliana tricked Rowena out of a he

Before the operating room doors closed, the police were questioning Eliana."Do the records of the first eleven games still exist?"Eliana laughed once. "They do."She looked past the officer, at Theodore. "And I am not the one who started this game. He is."Theodore sat outside the operating room until daybreak.Before the police took Eliana into custody, she gave Theodore a cloud-storage login. "You always thought I was the one who put you up to all of it. Take a good look. Whose plan was this, really?"Eleven videos, hundreds of messages, and the planning lists for every game were all stored on the drive.The first game really had been simple.He had only hidden my heat packs to see whether I would come to him for warmth.In the video, by the time I found him, my face was drained white, and my lips and hands were already numb.He laughed softly and folded his arms around me. "See? It takes trouble for you to understand how much I mean to you."For the second game, he deliberately lo

Three days later, everyone involved received a formal demand letter.The pack erupted.Some said they had only watched for fun.Others begged me through tears to go easy on them and not ruin their lives.I watched without sympathy.I gave them the same indifference they had shown when I begged them to open the freezer.They repented only because they feared the judgment ahead.Eliana's parents arrived at the ward with their arms full of gifts.Eliana's mother dropped to her knees as soon as she entered. "Lyra, Eliana is young and impulsive. You're alive. Don't ruin her life over one misunderstanding."I looked at Mr. Hale. "Escort her out."Eliana's mother dragged herself on her knees to my bedside. "You're alive. Why are you trying to kill her?"My father gave a humorless laugh. "My daughter survived because help arrived in time. And you have the nerve to use that as an excuse to clear your daughter?"Eliana's father's face darkened."Lyra, don't take this too far."Mr. Hale stepped f
