The Alpha's Cruel Game
The shewolves in Shadow Pack all said I was lucky. Alpha Erwin Keller had doted on me alone for eight years.
However, the same werewolf who swore he would only ever want to be with me gave me two 'gifts' the day I brought him home to meet my mom, Katie Spencer, to discuss our marking ceremony.
The first gift was tying Katie to a chair and having his Beta rip her clothes apart right in front of me.
The second gift was deliberately opening the door and letting my dad, Felix Spencer, who had already lost his wolf spirit, run outside.
There was pouring rain outside. Felix ran to the edge of a cliff and fell over.
Katie was still tied to the chair. She watched Felix die right in front of her.
She snapped the ropes like a mad wolf and jumped off the cliff to die with Felix.
In a single night, I lost both my parents.
I kneeled in a pool of blood and asked Erwin why he did all this.
He pinched my chin and sneered. "Lara, did you really think I loved you? I came for revenge!"
It turned out that during the territorial war ten years ago, his dad died saving mine, and his mom took her own life afterward.
Erwin spent eight years carefully weaving a lie of love. It was all so I could experience what it felt like to lose my entire family.
Later, Erwin kept me trapped by his side and tortured me. I tried to kill myself 99 times. He saved me all 99 times.
He said we would torture each other until we grew old.
What he didn't know was that ten years ago, when his wolf spirit was completely destroyed and he was barely alive, I was the one who begged an Alpha from another pack to place a curse on me so that he could live.
In return, I only had eight years left to live.
Now, I was seven days away from my own impending doom!
