Alle Kapitel von Three Wish Stones Turned My Alpha Against Me: Kapitel 1 – Kapitel 9

Allie's POVI was zipping up the empty garment bag in the dressing room when the door swung open. I caught my mate Ryan Blackwood's reflection in the mirror. He seemed relieved to see that I had changed out of my gown—the one meant for our marking ceremony.Ryan walked over and habitually reached out to put an arm around my waist. "I knew you'd understand, Allie."I moved slightly to the side, avoiding his touch.Ryan's hand hung in midair, his body tensing briefly. He spoke in a gentler tone, as though he were explaining a pack affair that had nothing to do with me. "I promised Bella I'd do this. I made the vow before the Moon Goddess, so I have to fulfill it. It's just a marking ceremony, Allie."It had been three years, and aside from being known as the Luna of the Hawthorne pack, I possessed nothing that truly belonged to an Alpha's mate.Ryan was in grave danger during a battle back then; his wolf had weakened to the point that he was barely clinging to life. His childhood f

It was already late at night when I returned to the apartment. I sat on the living room carpet and began packing my things into a box.Just then, the doorknob turned, and Bella walked in wearing a new pair of slippers. Ryan came in after her, his tie askew and his face marked with lingering exhaustion. "What are you packing at this hour, Allie?"I nonchalantly closed it as he approached to see what was in it. "What is she doing here?""Bella is just here for the night," Ryan replied as he sat down on the couch and pulled off his tie. He then waited for me to bring him a glass of water and massage his shoulders, just like I always did."Allie, the witch says I have to sleep next to the one who 'marked' me at the ceremony for one night to completely escape the calamity," Bella explained as she stood at the master bedroom doorway, tilting her head slightly. "Is it alright if Ryan and I sleep in the master bedroom tonight, Allie?"Ryan snapped, "That's enough, Bella!"Bella's eyes in

Third-Person POVRyan instantly realized that it was Allie's handwriting—every precise stroke matching the script she had engraved on the inside of the Moonmark Rings back at the forge. "I have a Moonvow Stone, too, Ryan."Ryan's eyes widened in surprise. "Kai gave it to me one winter, before I ever met you. He said that if I ever found myself trapped somewhere with no way out, I could use it to ask the Moon Goddess to show me the path I wanted to take. He said he'd get me when the time came. "I'm going to follow my own path now, Ryan."She hadn't signed it with her usual "Your beloved Allie." Instead, she had only written "Allie".Ryan let out a low, guttural growl and crumpled the paper into a ball, only to frantically smooth it out again, afraid that leaving even one more crease in it would make everything real.Ryan's phone suddenly buzzed. He received an official notification from the courthouse. "The mate bond between Ryan Blackwood, the Alpha of the Hawthorne pack, and

Six months later, the Moonstone Guild finally held its new artisan exhibition. Although my booth was in the innermost section, it was surrounded by so many people that there was hardly any room to move.I designed the "Moonless" collection without using the typical silver or any materials that were harmful to werewolves. I worked only with moonstone and tungsten steel, setting the strength of the pack and the light of the moon into rings and brooches.Kai stood at the edge of the crowd with a drink in his hand, a faint smile playing on his lips. He then said to the judge beside him, "I told you six months ago that she'd make it, but you just wouldn't believe me."The judge nodded and said, "You can really feel the soul in her work."Just then, an elderly artisan stopped nearby, pointing directly at the brooch in my display cabinet. "That design is practically identical to Mr. Morrow's final piece from 30 years ago! This exhibition is for original creations, not for copies!"A hush

In the blink of an eye, two years had passed. Moonless Atelier had carved out a formidable reputation, rising to become the premier independent artisan studio around.In my first year of business, I had saved enough to purchase the property outright. I now owned the place completely and no longer had to worry about being constrained.Kai returned from an overseas exhibition and handed me a gold-embossed invitation. "You've got a seat reserved for you at next month's Inter-pack Artisan Expo. You'll be one of the guests of honor."I kept my head down as I took the invitation and slipped it under my sketches. I then continued to polish the ring setting in my hands. "Got it. I'll be there."Kai chuckled and took a seat across from me, watching intently as I worked on the piece.I had taken in two new apprentices at the studio—one a werewolf and the other human—who had to treat me respectfully as their mentor. I passed on everything I'd learned at the studio years ago, while giving the
