My Alpha Chose Her—So I Chose Revenge

To stop the Shadowmoon Wolves and the Black Wolves from slaughtering each other, I voluntarily mated with Kael, heir to the Black Wolves and a boy I had raised by my side. I loved him for ten years. I believed that once we completed the bond, the hatred between our clans would finally end. After the ceremony, he held me in his arms for three days and nights, refusing to let go. Years later, Kael personally led the Black Wolf warriors into my territory and destroyed my home. My father, mother, and brothers all died in that war. Then Kael leaned close to my ear and asked coldly, "Erin, you didn't really think that becoming my mate would make me forget that the Shadowmoon Wolves killed my parents, did you?" In that moment, I finally understood. Kael believed my parents ordered the murder of his parents. What he didn't know was that the woman who had truly killed them and started the war later became his Luna. After the war ended, Kael became the Alpha of both packs. He made Selena his Luna, but locked me in an abandoned dungeon, forcing me to repay a blood debt that had never belonged to my family. Every time I tried to end my life, he ordered his men to dig up the grave of one of my relatives. "You are not allowed to die without my permission." So I stopped fighting. I stopped explaining. Nothing mattered anymore. Ten years ago, to save him, I had swallowed a nest of bloodworms. Now, they had reached my heart. In three days, I would die.
