Then, the force of the rejection sent me tumbling from the altar, accompanied by the Moon Goddess’s punishment.
I lay on the ground, howling in agony, my trembling arm outstretched but lacking the strength to grasp anything.
Eventually, I closed my eyes, quietly awaiting death.
The punishment of dissolving our mate bond was relentless, and by the time the pain subsided, I had fallen into unconsciousness.
When I finally opened my eyes again, I found myself back in a familiar room, every ounce of strength drained from my body.

I knew my time was running out.
Servants set food and water before me.
But I had no interest in it.
“Force–feed her. Don’t let
her die.”
Alpha Lawrence’s voice was impatient.
At his command, they rushed forward, tearing off my clothes, prying my mouth open, and shoving food into it against my will.
I had no strength to resist.
Just then, Alpha Lawrence suddenly grabbed my arm, his gaze fixed on my chest, his voice filled with disbelief.
“Why? Why do you have that birthmark?” His

face darkened.
I wanted to speak, but blood continued to pour from the corner of my mouth, and my vision began to blur.
“Emma! I won’t let you die! Emma! Don’t…” Alpha Lawrence’s frantic voice called out, shaking my body.
Before I lost consciousness completely, I looked at him one last time.
“My puppy brother, why do you hate me so much?”
who betrayed his oath would swallow a thousand needles.
Alpha Lawrence, I will never forgive you…
After my death, perhaps due to the weight

of my resentment, Instead of travelling to heaven, my soul became a spirit state to follow Alpha Lawrence.
The surgery failed, and as the doctor announced my death, the world seemed to collapse.
“No, it’s impossible. You’re lying! This can’t be real!”
Alpha Lawrence staggered backward, his face pale with disbelief. Then, with desperation etched into every movement, he stumbled toward my lifeless body.
He ripped the white cloth from my face, his hands trembling as he obsessively wiped at the crescent–shaped birthmark on my chest over and over again.
“You’re lying to me, aren’t you? This has to

be fake. Please, it has to be fake…”
At that moment, Beta Andre approached him cautiously, his voice grave.
“Alpha Lawrence, we’ve located the orphanage director. They confirmed it–Luna Emma’s birthmark is the one you’ve been searching for. Diana’s… Diana’s mark is fake.”
Alpha Lawrence froze, the truth crashing down on him like a tidal wave. His
expression shattered into pure agony. Without another word, he bolted from the room, his steps unsteady as he rushed toward the Packhouse.
When he burst into his office, Diana was there, trying on a wedding dress.
“Lawrence!” she gasped, startled by his sudden appearance.

But he wasn’t listening. His hands trembled with fury as he lunged forward, tearing at the fabric of her gown until the fraudulent birthmark was exposed.
“Who are you?!” he snarled, his voice filled with rage and heartbreak. “You’re not the girl from the orphanage. You’re not my savior!”
“Lawrence, what are you talking about? I’m the one who saved you!” Diana’s voice quivered, disbelief flickering in her eyes as she backed away.
“My savior was Emma,” he growled, his hand wrapping around her throat with an iron grip. “Why did you lie to me? Why did you take her place?”
The mask Diana had worn for so long finally cracked. Her features twisted with contempt,

and she spat venomously, “Because I hated Emma! She was nothing but a lowly wolfless orphan. How could someone like her deserve to be the Luna of the Shadow Pack?”
Her admission only deepened Lawrence’s anguish, but Diana wasn’t done.
“And you!” she sneered. “Don’t you dare pretend you’re some tragic hero. You betrayed Emma first. You’re the one who broke her heart!”
Lawrence’s grip loosened, his mind reeling. “You tricked me… If it weren’t for you, Emma and I-”
Diana laughed, bitter and mocking.
“You’re delusional. Emma lost your pup because of you, didn’t she? You orchestrated that, didn’t you? You didn’t want a wolfless

child–another disgrace to your precious Pack. You looked down on her, grew tired of her, and used me as an excuse.”
Her words cut like a blade, and in her final act of defiance, she spat in his face.
The truth was unbearable. Rage and despair consumed Lawrence, his voice trembling with deadly resolve.
“I’ll make you feel the pain Emma endured.”
Diana’s defiance faltered, and fear crept into her eyes. “No! You can’t do this to me. Our Packs are allied! My father, Alpha Dracula, will never forgive you!”
“Then the Ambersy Pack can join you in death,” Lawrence snarled, dragging her to the same dark basement where I had once been confined.

From that day forward, Lawrence abandoned all duties as Alpha. He became a madman, consumed by grief and guilt. Each night, he tormented Diana in the shadows of the Packhouse. And when he wasn’t punishing her, he stared at the pristine wedding gown tucked away in his office, his whispered regrets echoing into the silence.
“If only I had seen her birthmark sooner…”
But he would never understand that love requires no proof.
When Diana died, her body bore the same wounds as mine.
When the Werewolf Council arrived to investigate, they found Lawrence standing over her lifeless form, his eyes void of humanity.

As the council approached, he raised a silver dagger and drove it into his own heart.
The scene was a nightmare, and even the most hardened officials were left speechless.
I watched as they carried his body to the ambulance, his life slipping away with every second.
“Emma… Is that you? Have you come to take me home?”
His hand reached toward the air as though trying to grasp something unseen.
But I didn’t want to see him–not in this life, not in the next.
My form wavered, dissolving into the wind

as the flatline of the monitor echoed in the sterile room.
So, Alpha Lawrence, even in death, we will never meet again.
Not in the next life.
Not in the life after that.
Never as your mate.
