Chapter 1

My mating ceremony was scheduled for the following day. Many elders from the royal capital, even the Alpha King himself, would be attending.If they walked in and discovered that the mansion specially approved for our wedding had been turned into a funeral parlor, the scandal would be enormous.Edward’s icy voice came through the phone.“I don’t have time to listen to your nonsense.”I suppressed my anger and tried to reason with him.“Edward, I appreciate you sending people to decorate the wedding mansion, but she has turned the place into a funeral parlor.”“I no longer need her to do any more decorating. Tell her to take her werewolves and leave immediately.”But before I could finish speaking, he hung up on me.I stood there, stunned.Was this really the gentle, well-mannered man my mother had praised as such a good match for me?Monica let out a cold laugh beside me.“Did you hear that? Complaining to him won’t do you any good. Edward can’t even be bothered to deal with you.”“If

"Monica, you're the one in the wrong here, not me. I'll say this one last time. Take your werewolves and get out of my house. Now."Before I could finish, she raised her hand and slapped me several times across the face."You little bitch! Still got a mouth on you, don't you?"I dodged her blows, gritting my teeth as I forced myself not to fight back.It wasn't that I didn't want to lay a hand on her. The problem was that she had an entire squad of werewolf warriors behind her, and everyone gathered outside was on her side.I was already injured. If I fought back now, I'd be the only one getting hurt.I managed to break free from the werewolf warriors restraining me and was just about to grab Monica's hand when a tremendous force suddenly struck me from behind.I was sent flying backward and slammed hard into the cabinet beside the door. My vision went black, and it felt as though my bones were about to shatter.A furious growl rang out beside my ears."Let's see who dares lay a hand o

Chapter 3

Both of them froze.Edward, in particular, looked absolutely livid.I couldn't tell whether he was furious because a female werewolf he'd always looked down on had just humiliated him in front of everyone, or because he'd suddenly realized that if I truly refused to go through with the mating ceremony, his father might actually strip him of his right to inherit the Alpha position.But Monica, standing beside him, had a different reaction.Her eyes lit up, gleaming with greed and ambition."Edward, isn't it even better that she doesn't want to go through with the mating ceremony?" she immediately leaned closer, her voice soft and urgent. "That way, you won't have to bring her home as your wife and embarrass the entire Silvermoon Pack."Seeing Edward hesitate, as though weighing his options, Monica stepped closer and spoke even faster."The former Alpha was obviously just saying those things out of anger. There's no way he'd really refuse to let you inherit the Alpha position just becaus

Edward ordered the werewolf warriors to drag me out of the house.Then, without wasting a moment, he summoned a construction crew and had them pour barrel after barrel of lamp oil around the base of the walls and the supporting beams.He looked down at me with undisguised contempt, his tone dripping with arrogance."Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson. There's nothing in the entire Silvermoon Pack that I can't have. And nobody dares tell me what I can or cannot do.""If I want this house, I'll take it. If I want to burn it down, I can do that just as easily."I glared at him, my voice turning icy."Don't you dare! Edward, you're nothing more than the Alpha of the Silvermoon Pack. Do you really think you can do whatever you want without consequences?"He let out a mocking laugh."Why shouldn't I dare? Do you honestly think threatening me will do any good?""Don't tell me you really don't know this." He tilted his head back, looking down at me with utter arrogance. "Without the Silver

"What?!" The captain of the royal guards roared. "Who the hell would dare do something like this?!"I briefly explained the situation."They said the Silvermoon Pack has powerful backing from the Council of Elders, and that even the Royal City has to give them special treatment.""They also threatened that after burning down the house, I'd be their next target."The captain's fury exploded."The Silvermoon Pack has completely lost its mind! Give them the phone!"Before I could hand it over, Monica snatched it from me, as if eager to take credit for everything."Well, well! So you're the one backing up that bitch Sophia? What? Looking to get yourself killed too?""Yes, I said exactly that! The Silvermoon Pack has the Council of Elders backing us. Our Edward can do whatever he wants, and the Royal City can't do a damn thing about it!"The captain on the other end fell silent for a second, clearly stunned by her outrageous arrogance."Who is this? Put Edward on the phone!""Old man, who t

Monica cried out in terror."Former Alpha, it wasn't me! Edward was the one who told me to do it! I only—""Silence!" the former Alpha roared furiously. "Do you really think calling me 'Former Alpha' means I can pretend none of this ever happened?""Your family died when you were young. Out of consideration for our past ties, I took you into my home and raised you like my own granddaughter. And this is how you repay me?""Do you think I don't know what happened? If you hadn't manipulated and encouraged Edward to stand up for you, would he have treated his own future Luna this way? Would he have done something so outrageous?""I know everything. From beginning to end, you've been the one stirring up trouble. In the end, you were the one who asked Edward to help you burn down the house. You were also the one who snatched the phone and insulted the captain of the royal guards. After everything you've done, how could you possibly expect the Silvermoon Pack to protect you?"Listening to the

The moment I finished speaking, absolute silence fell over the entire estate.The former Alpha's expression darkened. His hand trembled slightly on his cane, but in the end, he couldn't find a single word to persuade me to stay.Edward's expression froze completely, as if he'd just been slapped across the face in front of everyone."Sophia, don't push it too far!" he finally snapped, unable to contain his anger any longer. "I've already swallowed my pride and admitted I was wrong. What more do you want?"I turned my head to look at him, my tone still perfectly calm."You only admitted your mistake because you were afraid of being exiled, not because you were actually sorry.""And I'm refusing to marry you because I've finally seen the kind of person you really are.""I told you. After today, you, the Silvermoon Pack, and I are completely done. There's no going back."Edward was about to say something else when the former Alpha struck him hard across the shin with his cane."Have you no

Chapter 8

Monica collapsed to the ground, screaming through her tears."It wasn't me! It was Edward! He made me do everything! He told me to come here and bully Sophia! He was the one who sent people to pour the lamp oil, and he was the one who told me to set the house on fire! He said nothing would happen to me, even if I did it! I have proof!"She pointed hysterically at Edward, as though she'd just seized the last lifeline available to her.Edward froze.He'd never imagined that Monica would turn on him at a time like this, shifting all the blame onto his shoulders.He'd tried to protect her moments earlier because he'd been certain he would get away with everything himself.But now, he realized he couldn't escape responsibility either.And hearing Monica try to absolve herself by pinning every offense on him sent him into a panic.He roared furiously."Stop slandering me! You were the one who said you couldn't stand the sight of her and wanted to teach her a lesson! I only let you come here
