Chapter 1

For seven years, Kade, the pack's Commander, and I were mates who hated each other.He hated me for forcing the mating bond on him. It caused the woman he loved to be married off to the North, only to die a brutal death.That was until the night our territory fell, and he took a fatal silver bullet for me. Through the flames, his dying words were that he never wanted to be my mate in the next life.When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day the alliance bride was chosen.This time, I stepped forward and became that alliance bride."You want to go North in her place?"My father stared at me like I was joking.Out of all his daughters, I was the only one who never hid my dislike for Ruby.People in the pack always said that if Ruby tripped on the stairs, I would only step aside so she could fall harder.Going North to that bloodthirsty pack and becoming a brutal Alpha's political toy should've been out of the question for me.My father leaned back in his chair. "Just a few days a

Early the next morning, I'd just changed into casual clothes and was about to leave my room. The moment I opened the door, Kade shoved me back onto the bed."Why do you have to be so cruel?" He pinned me down, his hot breath against my ear. "Are you really going to send Ruby North to die?"His hands dug into my shoulders, squeezing until my vision blurred with pain.A maid rushed in, panicked, but he only shot her a glare."Get out."She froze for a second, then ran away like she was fleeing for her life.His breath hit my collarbone, heavy with alcohol.He was clearly hungover."Can't you stand to see her happy?" he growled. "Is this what you want?""Kade. Let me go." I gritted my teeth and pushed against his chest.Instead, his fingers dug deeper. They almost sank into my flesh."Is this who you really are?" he sneered."Jealous. Cold-blooded. Willing to sacrifice your own sister to get what you want?"He pressed down harder, his chest crushing mine. I couldn't push him off at all. H

I attended my last pack banquet in the Southern territory.When I stepped into the banquet hall, the low sound of a cello, flickering lights, and suppressed sobbing were already echoing inside.Ruby stood among the women from the high-ranking families. Her eyes were red. Her voice trembled just enough to be pitiful without losing her composure.She clutched a tissue, like it was the only thing keeping her standing."So in two days, Ruby's being sent off to that Northern pack," a woman sighed, loud enough for the whole room to hear."Poor thing," another whispered in agreement."And that high-and-mighty Alpha's daughter does nothing. She just stands by and watches. All she cares about is getting into Kade's bed.""At least Ruby knows how to look at the big picture," someone added. "Sacrificing herself like this for the peace of the entire pack."Ruby's shoulders shook.Through the gaps in her fingers, her eyes revealed something else entirely. It was a fleeting look of smugness and mali

Kade stood frozen outside my bedroom door for a day and a night, but I never opened it for him.The night before the alliance departure, the dim hallway lights cast his tall shadow under the door crack. It was long, straight, and motionless.Finally, his deep, hoarse voice broke the dead silence."Cora," he said at last.His voice was very low, showing extreme restraint. For a man making a decision against his own heart, this calmness was cruel."You win. Tomorrow, I'll marry you as the Alpha arranged. I'll mark you, and make you my mate."I sat on the carpet with my back against the cold door, saying nothing."I'll spend my life making up for pulling a weapon on you," he continued.He spoke each word clearly, as if reciting a warrior's oath he'd lived by since childhood."I swear to the Moon Goddess. Not as your mate, but as a warrior."There was a moment of silence outside the door."I'll protect you just as I would fight to the death for this territory," he finally said in a low voi

When the scent hit him, Kade felt sick.It was a face he was all too familiar with, but it wasn't the one he was expecting.Ruby crashed into his arms, her fingers clutching his shirt like she would fall if she let go."Why... why is it you?" His voice was ragged.Before he even finished speaking, a chilling thought hit him.Ruby lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him. Her voice was soft and light, carrying panic, and a hint of something she couldn't hide."I... I don't know," she sobbed."The alliance agreement was suddenly changed yesterday. They said... Cora was sent to the Northern pack in my place."The entire room spun in his vision."What did you say?"Kade gripped her shoulders. His grip bruised her skin."If she went North, then the woman who crossed the border alone this morning...""It was Cora." Ruby looked up. She couldn't hide the triumph in her eyes as she weakly grabbed his tie."Kade, she willingly gave up the mating bond! She went to Father and chose this herself

Chapter 6

Kade's POVThe icy Northern highway blurred under my tires. Every mile of frozen earth crushed my last shred of hope.I had seen this ending once.In the memories haunting my mind, Ruby was the one who went North. She'd been shaking all over and crying her eyes out, clinging to everyone who came to see her off like a drowning woman.She sent one plea for help. Then, silence.Just a year later, news of her death reached the packhouse: the Northern alliance bride committed suicide. The entire pack simply lowered the flag to half-mast in mourning for a single day.Back then, I constantly brainwashed myself, saying this was an unavoidable political sacrifice. I told myself I had fulfilled my duty as a warrior.But I was completely wrong.This time, the person sitting in that car was her.It was the woman who crossed the border alone without shedding a single tear, uttering a single curse, or looking back even once.That was exactly what scared me to death.Piercing sirens tore through the

Chapter 7

Cora's POVI had already given up the thought that anyone would come save me.Maybe in this hellhole, holding onto hope was the deadliest weakness.The Northern compound quickly taught me how to survive here. Keeping my mouth shut was far safer than fighting back.But keeping quiet didn't mean letting them walk all over me.Just on the evening of the fourth day, the Northern maid assigned to me approached with a food tray, a vicious sneer hanging on her lips.She deliberately tilted her wrist. Before I could dodge, the scalding coffee cup smashed directly onto my arm.Boiling coffee laced with wolfsbane splashed over me. It burned my wound, corroding my flesh."Oh, how clumsy of me." The maid looked down at me, her eyes full of mockery. "Why is the precious Southern princess so delicate? Can't even handle a little hot coffee?"The tainted blood soaked through the cuffs of my light-colored sweater, drying into a glaring dark red.No one apologized to me, and I didn't expect these animal

For a moment, the garage fell into a deathly silence. The cold draft blew open my torn sleeve, exposing the more hideous wolfsbane burn marks underneath.If he crossed the border today just to fulfill his ridiculous warrior duty, then let him open his eyes wide and see exactly what his so-called duty had cost me."Who did this?" Kade stared at the black, festering wound on my arm. Murderous intent boiled in his eyes.He reached out, trembling, wanting to touch the scar."Don't touch me!" I pulled my hand back like I was burned. I scoffed and took a step back, putting distance between us."You came all the way to this hellhole," I said coldly, ignoring the pain in his eyes. "Ruby must be worried sick all alone at home."At the sound of that name, his cold, hard jawline tightened to the extreme."She doesn't know I'm here. I have absolutely nothing to do with her!"Bullshit. Of course she couldn't know. Otherwise she would have turned the world upside down.I nodded perfunctorily, acting

I didn't forcefully shake him off. Instead, I voluntarily stepped half a pace closer. Meeting his burning breath, I gently pried open the fingers locked on my wrist one by one.His rough, large hands trembled under my fingertips."You do care," I said softly against his chest. "Kade, you actually care more than anyone."The Northern guards around us all gripped their guns tighter and stared at us. The cold garage fell into silence.I looked up into his bloodshot eyes and continued, "You taught me this yourself.""A true warrior doesn't just protect one life. Sometimes, the most painful choice is the right one."He clenched his back teeth. The muscles in his jaw tightened, and I even thought he would crush his teeth in the next second."Don't use words I said in the past to shut me up.""I'm not," I said, meeting his gaze calmly. "I'm just giving you back your own lesson.""Since neither of us can escape this mess, let's not run. Only by uprooting these animals entirely can we truly sur

Chapter 10

Far away from the Northern packhouse, there was a patch of land worn down by wind and stone. We made our home there.This home didn't belong to any pack, nor did it belong to any battle. There were no guns hung on the walls.We left our heavy titles at the door.There were only two survivors who, after experiencing life-and-death desperation, ultimately and firmly chose each other.After carrying the weight of the world for everyone else, he pinned me against the bedroom door. With his forehead resting against mine, his breathing was hot and ragged.Kade swore to the Moon Goddess that he would protect me with his life, just as he would fight to the death to defend the Southern territory.And in the end, guarding me and guarding his entire world had long merged into one.In the harsh winter when the North returned to peace, I gave birth to his pup.The night of the delivery was long and cold. Outside the window, snow fell in large flakes.As dawn broke, Kade stood rigid by the fireplace
