“If he values you so much, why hasn’t he given you the mate mark?” I asked, keeping my voice steady despite the fight. “That’s what this is really about, isn’t

it? A true mate wouldn’t keep you waiting this long. He’s stringing you along with empty promises that have nothing to do with me.”

Ruby broke free with a sudden burst of strength, shoving me hard against a pine tree. The bark tore into my back, but I pushed through the pain and quickly

regained my stance.

“You think I don’t get it?” she snarled, her voice distorted with rage. “I’ve given him two years! Done everything he asked, no matter how humiliating. And you? You just stand there looking innocent, and he’s obsessed! He spotted you as perfect prey from the beginning. He’ll use you and throw you away like

trash!”

Her attacks were wild and undisciplined. When she left an opening, I struck decisively, landing a solid punch to her jaw that sent her staggering backward.

“Let me make sure I understand,” I said, watching her struggle to stay upright. “You’ve stuck around hoping he’d change his, mind? Thinking a mate mark would somehow make you special?” I shook my head. “That’s not how it works. Nobody respects you, and everyone treats your one-sided crush like a joke. Both you and your so-called Alpha are pathetic. And honestly, I still don’t even know who you’re talking about.”

Ruby wiped blood from her mouth and forced herself back to her feet, eyes blazing with hatred.

“Stop the innocent act! You’ve been planning this since you first showed up! I’m nobody’s plaything!” She charged at me again, completely unhinged.

Pure instinct took over. I sidestepped, grabbed her hair, and pushed her forward. Her head struck a protruding rock with a sickening thud, and she crumpled to the ground. Blood pooled rapidly beneath her.

My breath caught in my throat as the reality hit me. A heartbreaking howl cut through the forest – Robert, feeling his mate’s death through their bond. The raw pain in that sound made my chest tighten painfully.

I killed someone.

My wolf kept insisting, She attacked first, you were defending yourself, but it didn’t erase the fact that I’d taken a life. My chest constricted and my vision began to blur at the edges. I forced myself to breathe deeply, fighting to regain control.

“Quite impressive,” came a familiar voice from behind me, though its tone was unrecognizably cold and calculating. I knew Ruby would confront you, but 1 didn’t expect such a… satisfying outcome. You truly are the most suitable Luna candidate I’ve found. Seeing you fight for my attention is quite flattering.”

A chill ran down my spine as I slowly turned around, pieces clicking into place.

Brandon. This seemingly harmless guy was the Rogue Wolf King? The mastermind behind everything? I’d completely misjudged him. Though physically imposing, he’d never struck me as a leader or warrior. But then, people underestimated me for my size too.

I completely understand your desire for me,’ he said, his voice uncomfortably in mate. I’ve noticed how you watch me. That attraction is impossible to

hide.”

‘What are you talking about?” I asked, genuinely confused.

“Your shyness is charming, he smiled, his eyes dark and predatory. “I’ve always own you had a warrior’s soul waiting to be unleashed. I’m honored to be the one who brought it out. You were willing to kill for our special connection.

His narcissism was staggering he actually thought Ruby’s jealousy meant I wasghting over him?

‘You’ve got it all wrong,” I couldn’t hide my disgust. “You’re not the reason for anything I did. I wasn’t even sure who Ruby was talking about until now.”

“No need to play coy anymore,” he chuckled. “You’ve caught my attention. I know you feel my power, and you can’t deny your attraction to me.”

I’m not interested in anyone, especially you.” The moment the words left my mouth, I regretted them. His expression darkened dangerously.

A threatening growl came from the bushes, and a wolf rushed toward us. I jumped aside, ready to shift, but the wolf went straight to Brandon before transforming back to human form – Robert, naked and devastated.

I watched Brandon warily while backing away.

“Why?!” Robert’s voice cracked with grief. “Why did you do this? Did you order he killed? You took her from me, and now she’s dead! You could have given

her back!”

“I didn’t kill her, friend,” Brandon closed his eyes and licked his lips disgustingly. She was quite… entertaining. Always so eager to prove herself. Even after choosing the next Luna, I planned to keep her around for amusement. She never wanted to return to you – she always had a choice.”

His gaze was cold and calculating as he pointed at me. Clearly, my new favorite Here is jealous. She wants me all to herself. So she killed your mate.”

Robert turned toward me, and the friendly guy I knew had vanished. His wolf had taken over, grief overwhelming his human side. He approached menacingly, eyes flashing, still fighting his instincts one last time.
