The morning sun filtered through the infirmary windows, casting long shadows across the stone floor. I sat on the edge of the examination table, my fingers nervously twisting the thin cloth of my dress. The Head Healer's face was grave as he studied the scroll in his hands, his eyes darting between the parchment and the strange device he'd used to measure my aura. "Tessa Meyer," he said finally, his voice carrying the weight of decades of practice. "I've completed your pre-mating examination." Something in his tone made my heart stutter. I'd expected the usual clearance, the standard blessing before tomorrow's ceremony with Max. Instead, I saw the deep furrows of concern etched into his weathered face. "What's wrong?" I asked, though part of me already knew I didn't want the answer. He set the scroll down carefully, as if it contained something fragile and dangerous. "Your aura readings indicate a condition we call Wolfsbane Rot." The words hung in the air between us, heavy and suffocating.

Chapter 1 of I Left After My Mate Chose My Sister

The morning sun filtered through the infirmary windows, casting long shadows across the stone floor. I sat on the edge of the examination table, my fingers nervously twisting the thin cloth of my dress. The Head Healer's face was grave as he studied the scroll in his hands, his eyes darting between the parchment and the strange device he'd used to measure my aura.

"Tessa Meyer," he said finally, his voice carrying the weight of decades of practice. "I've completed your pre-mating examination."

Something in his tone made my heart stutter. I'd expected the usual clearance, the standard blessing before tomorrow's ceremony with Max. Instead, I saw the deep furrows of concern etched into his weathered face.

"What's wrong?" I asked, though part of me already knew I didn't want the answer.

He set the scroll down carefully, as if it contained something fragile and dangerous. "Your aura readings indicate a condition we call Wolfsbane Rot."

The words hung in the air between us, heavy and suffocating.

"Wolfsbane Rot?" I repeated, the name tasting bitter on my tongue. "What does that mean?"

"It's a degeneration of the wolf spirit." His eyes held genuine regret. "Your wolf is dying, Tessa. And when she goes, she'll take your human form with her."

My breath caught. "Is there a cure?"

He shook his head slowly. "I'm sorry. You have weeks, perhaps months at most."

The room seemed to tilt around me. Tomorrow, I was supposed to mate with Max, become Luna of the Blood River Pack. We were going to have pups and build a life together. Now, I was being told I was dying.

I stumbled out of the infirmary clutching the diagnostic scroll, my legs barely supporting me. The bright morning light felt like a mockery of the darkness spreading inside me.

---

I needed Max. Needed his strength, his reassurance that somehow this would all work out. Even if I couldn't tell him yet about my diagnosis, just being near him would help me find the courage to face whatever came next.

His private Alpha quarters were in the east wing of the Pack House. I'd only been there a handful of times—it was sacred space, reserved for the Alpha and his closest advisors. But today, I didn't care about protocol.

The heavy oak door was slightly ajar. Strange. Max usually locked it when he was inside.

"Max?" I called softly, pushing the door open wider.

The sight before me froze my blood.

Max stood by his desk, his powerful arms wrapped around a woman's waist. My sister's waist.

"—can't explain it, Sasha," he was saying, his voice low and intimate. "The bond with Tessa feels like a duty, but you..." He buried his face in her neck, inhaling deeply. "You're the one I choose."

Sasha's eyes were closed, her face tilted upward in ecstasy. "I've always been yours, Max. Since before the Moon Goddess interfered."

"But tomorrow's the ceremony," he murmured against her skin.

"It doesn't matter," she whispered back. "We have history. Real history. Not some mystical bond that just snapped into place."

I backed away silently, my hand pressed against my mouth to stifle any sound. The diagnostic scroll crumpled in my fist.

"My fragile flower," Max said, his voice carrying the tenderness I'd always dreamed of hearing. "I need to protect you, always."

---

I made it halfway down the hallway before my stomach revolted. I collapsed against the wall, vomiting until there was nothing left but bitter bile.

Dying. Betrayed. All in one morning.

I somehow made it back to my room, locking the door behind me. My hands shook as I pulled out a small travel bag from beneath my bed.

Wolfsbane Rot. A death sentence with no appeal.

And Max—my fated mate, my Alpha, my everything—loved my sister.

I packed mechanically: a change of clothes, what little money I had saved, a small knife for protection. Then I sat at the small desk and pulled out a piece of paper.

*Max,* I wrote, my handwriting unusually steady. *I can't be your Luna. Please don't look for me.*

No explanation. No accusation. No formal rejection that would weaken his Alpha status. Just... goodbye.

I sealed the note and tucked it into my bag. Then I remembered—the scent-masking potion in the pack stores. Hunters used it to mask their trails from prey. It would work just as well for me.

The storage room was empty this time of morning. I slipped inside, found the small vial labeled "Forest Mist," and dropped it into my pocket.

One last look at the room that had been my home for the past month. Tomorrow, Max would wake up and find me gone. He would think I'd abandoned him—the coward's way out.

But the truth was far worse: I was sparing him the pain of watching his mate waste away before his eyes. And I was sparing myself the agony of seeing him with her every day.

I took one deep breath, squared my shoulders, and prepared to disappear.

Betrayed by My Alpha Mate
The bass from the karaoke bar pulsed through my chest like a second heartbeat, each thump making my temples throb. I watched Lucca laughing with his pack brothers, his arm slung casually over Delta Marcus's shoulder as they belted out some terrible rendition of an old pack anthem. The crowd was a sea of familiar faces from Silvermoon, all here to celebrate our territory's founding anniversary. I'd been smiling for two hours straight, playing the perfect Luna-to-be, but the noise was finally winning. 'I need some air,' I murmured to Mira, who nodded with understanding before turning back to her own conversation. The cool night air hit my face like a blessing as I slipped through the bar's side door. Silvermoon territory at night was beautiful—the trees rustled gently, and moonlight painted everything in silver and shadow. I took a deep breath, letting Selene, my wolf, stretch contentedly within me. For just a moment, I could pretend I was alone with the night sky. Then I heard Lucca's voice.

Just like the evening breeze leaves no trace
Just like the evening breeze leaves no trace
Chapter 1 It was their seventh wedding anniversary. Carolyn found the divorce agreement in Roger’s nightstand. The pages were covered in scribbles and corrections, as if he’d agonized over them for years. *"If, during the marriage, I fall in love with another person, I voluntarily relinquish all assets and leave with nothing. Asset details as follows…"* His first impulse had been to walk away empty-handed. But the asset section told a different story—a mess of revisions. First, he’d crossed out the property he intended to give her. Then, the fifty million earmarked for her was scratched out and replaced with five hundred thousand. Finally, as if in penance, he had written a single line. *"Better to have Carolyn leave with nothing. No choice, Catherine is pregnant."* … Carolyn sank onto the bed, disbelief washing over her. On the agreement, Roger’s signature was clean and decisive, without a hint of hesitation. And the document had been drafted seven years ago—the very year they married. That year, Roger had been willing to give up everything for her. Yet every year after, he had crossed out another piece of their shared life. Now, seven years later, the one leaving with nothing would be her. Her phone buzzed abruptly. A message from Roger. *"Urgent business. Won't be back."* She called, only to find his phone already switched off. Another notification flashed—a screenshot from a friend. Catherine, the student she sponsored, had posted on social media. *"Wow, got praised! To commemorate my first period without a leak, the big boss said we should celebrate properly!"* In a nine-photo collage, Roger gazed at her, eyes crinkling with affection as he fastened a dazzling gemstone necklace around her neck. The post was tagged at a couples-themed hotel. Carolyn’s breath caught. He couldn’t remember seven years of marriage, of weathering storms together—but he could find the energy to celebrate Catherine’s… leak-free period. And that pendant… she’d seen it at an auction just last week. It was her mother’s lost heirloom. She’d been ready to bid when her bank card was frozen. She’d asked Roger why. A long time later, he finally texted back, telling her not to waste money on such impractical things. Clutching her bidding paddle, she’d sat helplessly in the auction hall. In the end, she resolved to sell one of her own designs to raise the funds. But someone on the phone swooped in with an unbeatable offer and took it. For weeks afterward, Carolyn hated herself—hated that she couldn’t protect her mother’s last keepsake. She never imagined the one who snatched it away was Roger. He knew exactly how much that pendant meant to her. Yet he gave it to Catherine. Even on their seventh anniversary, Roger had lied about being busy with work, while wining and dining the girl she’d sponsored. The anniversary gift he left her was a divorce agreement demanding she leave with nothing. Seven years of marriage. Seven years of infidelity. And Carolyn had known nothing. She’d even introduced the other woman to him herself. Catherine was the impoverished student Carolyn sponsored. The first time Catherine came to their home to give thanks, Roger found her intrusive and disliked her on sight. *"That girl has no manners. Tracked mud all over my cashmere rug."* *"If her grades aren’t up to par, cut the sponsorship."* Back then, Carolyn had teased him, saying not to be jealous—it was good the girl had a grateful heart. She never once suspected Roger and Catherine. For seven years, everyone in their circle believed Roger never played around. That he loved only Carolyn. But by their next meeting, Catherine had become Roger’s personal assistant. Roger explained, *"The girl’s had it tough. You’ve sponsored her for years. Giving her a job is just helping you out."* Carolyn had laughed it off. Now, hands trembling, she opened Catherine’s social media feed. Catherine had always hidden her posts from Carolyn. Now, she seemed desperate to flaunt everything. While Carolyn drank until her stomach bled to secure a deal for Roger, Catherine was using Roger’s card to buy her first Louis Vuitton. While Carolyn changed bedpans for Roger’s bedridden grandmother, Roger was taking Catherine to a perfume atelier for a blending class—calling it a business trip. Catherine had even complained online. *"Your wife is such a pampered princess. Can't handle the tiniest thing without you running back. Can she not live without a man?"* And Roger had replied beneath it. *"If she were half as independent as you, I’d have an easier life."* But that day… Carolyn’s mother had lost her battle with cancer. She’d cried until her heart felt shredded, scrambling to handle the arrangements. All the while, Roger kept checking his phone impatiently, eager to leave. Not for work, she realized now—but because he was desperate to get back to Catherine.
