All Chapters of My Mate Favored His Assistant : Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

The dim yellow lights in the healer's den were painfully bright.By the time the healer finished treating my fractured arm and other injuries, it was already late at night.I, Eleanor Davidson, sat leaning against a chair while receiving an IV drip. Every breath sent another wave of pain through my arm as the broken bones pulled at the nerves and the wounds throbbed.Before long, blood had seeped through the bandages. As they were being changed, my gaze drifted toward the end of the hallway.Lucas Davidson hurried past. He was carrying a thermos.I thought he would at least stop to check on me, but he walked straight into Caroline Norden's ward.Caroline had only sprained her ankle, yet Lucas had given her the only available private ward and even laid a soft blanket across her bed.Meanwhile, I could only sit alone on a cold chair in the hallway.When Lucas came out, he was carrying a thick blanket. He stepped over, draped it around my shoulders, and unscrewed the thermos befor

Before leaving, I attended the pack assembly despite my injuries.It was the final duty I had to fulfill as Luna, and I wanted to see it through properly.During the meeting, Lucas praised Caroline for her initial contributions to the pack. Her name was even listed ahead of mine.Sitting below the stage, I gripped my prepared speech until the paper was creased.What Lucas was reading aloud as Caroline's achievements were clearly my own work. He had merely repackaged them and presented them as her contributions.He had combined the competitions and projects Caroline had participated in during college with my work, instantly turning her into the pack's rising star.Applause thundered through the conference hall. The movement strained the wound in my arm, making the pain even worse.Someone stood up to question Caroline's achievements. It was one of my project collaborators.Lucas smiled calmly and gestured for me to speak. "Caroline has been working alongside the Luna. She knows

The room was completely silent.Lucas lay sprawled on the cold floor. The faint glow of his phone illuminated his pale face.The dozens of messages he had sent had not reached me.[Message failed to send. Message failed to send.]Refusing to believe it, Lucas sent another one. The result was exactly the same.He kept muttering to himself. "How is this possible?"Suppressing the pain in his chest, he clutched the bracelet tightly. Its tiny diamonds dug into his palm.Suddenly, he recalled the day of our marking ceremony three years ago. He had lovingly pulled me into his arms, and we'd held each other close.But now, he was the one who had pushed me away with his own hands.He had been the one who ignored me, injured and helpless in the snow, and gave Caroline the only stretcher.He had been the one who casually stripped me of my accomplishments and handed them to Caroline.He had also been the one who forced me to compromise in front of the enforcement team, demanding that I

The atmosphere in the pack council hall was stifling.Lucas sat in the Alpha's seat with a stern expression.Members of the enforcement team were restraining a struggling Caroline. Her usually gentle face was now filled with terror.She could only look at Lucas pitifully while pleading for help. "Lucas, what's going on? Tell them to let me go!"The enforcement team captain presented the newly uncovered evidence. "Alpha, our investigation revealed that Caroline won a skiing championship while studying abroad."We therefore have reason to believe that the incident at the ski resort wasn't an accident. It was intentional."Caroline continued to deny it. "No! It was an accident! Why would I deliberately crash into you and Eleanor?"She looked at Lucas with tears in her eyes.The captain snorted. "Why are you still lying? If we hadn't found the Luna lying in the snow in time, she would have frozen to death!"Realizing her excuses weren't working, Caroline burst into tears. "Lucas,

A year later, a massive werewolf war broke out in the northern territory. I led a team of healers from the healer's den to assist with the rescue efforts.A colleague updated me on the situation. "Eleanor, all the injured werewolves have been taken care of and settled. The critically wounded patient has been taken to the operating room. We're waiting for you."After changing into scrubs, I stepped into the operating room, only to stop dead in my tracks.The once proud and powerful Lucas now looked like a broken puppet.He was emaciated, and his body was covered in wounds. Half of his chest had been torn open by claws. His injuries were severe.The surgery lasted twelve hours. Every incision required the utmost care.I wasn't simply saving his life. It felt more like bringing my past to a final close.Three years ago, the injured Eleanor who had cried in the snow was now using those same hands to pull Lucas back from the brink of death.After stitching the final wound, I neatly
