Chapter 1
By day I was Alpha Simon’s shadow guard, by night I became nothing but his plaything.
His lust was insatiable, leaving me exhausted until dawn every day.
This morning, he suddenly coldly tossed my clothes onto my body. “Don’t come here anymore.”
I carefully knelt on the floor. “Alpha, have I displeased you?”
The man who had just held me in warm embrace now looked down at me, his eyes distant and cold.
“I’m to be mated with Lyra soon.”
“She’s been sheltered all her life and can’t handle any pain. I only let you service me to practice my technique, but that won’t be necessary anymore.”
“You’ve always been obedient. You know what to do.”
I hadn’t even processed the shock of his upcoming mating when his next words struck me like silver to my heart.
My body felt like it had been plunged into ice water, leaving me speechless for a long moment.
Until Simon impatiently repeated: “Do you understand?”
I lowered my head in humiliation, desperately hiding the tears welling in my eyes.
“I understand, Alpha.”
Only then did Simon nod with satisfaction.
I rose with numb limbs, my movements stiff as I prepared to leave, when suddenly he called me back.
“Wait.”
My heart leapt with hope as I looked at him expectantly.

I wanted to hear him say that everything he’d just told me was a lie, that he wasn’t going to mate with another, that I wasn’t just a practice tool for his true mate.
Instead, he propped his chin on his hand, his finger pointing to my abdomen.
“Make sure there are no… complications.”
My smile froze instantly on my face.
For three years I’d maintained this secret relationship with Simon, and after each encounter, he’d remind me to take the wolfsbane tea that prevented pregnancy.
I understood my lowly position–unworthy to bear his pups. For three years, I’d never missed a single
dose.
To spare myself further humiliation, I bowed my head and fled the room.
I rushed back to my quarters, and once the door closed, tears I could no longer control poured out
like a broken dam.
I bit my hand to stifle my sobs.
After ten years as Simon’s shadow guard and three years as his secret sexual plaything, I’d learned
to swallow my tears.
After drying my eyes, I expertly brewed myself a cup of wolfsbane tea.
Only when my fingertips began to burn did I realize I’d scalded all ten fingers in the process.
My relationship with Simon began with an accident.
Three years ago, a Beta’s daughter who had long admired him slipped a full moon enhancer into his drink at a pack gathering. By the time I noticed something was wrong, he had already drank it all.
Simon had always been selective about his partners, and despite being Alpha, he kept no personal
attendants.
Driven mad by the enhancer, he stumbled and pulled me down onto his bed.
I struggled desperately but feared hurting him, ultimately spending that wild night together.

When Simon regained his senses, he assumed I’d taken advantage of him. He kicked me off the bed, his voice colder than ice: “Go to the punishment grounds.”
I dared not disobey his command and endured fifty lashes despite my pain.
When I was carried back to my room, a dark potion already waited on my table.
Having grown up in Simon’s pack, I knew exactly what it was.
Later, he discovered it was the Beta’s daughter who had drugged him that night.
He looked at me with a complicated expression: “Why didn’t you explain what happened at that night?”
Once he’d made up his mind about something, no amount of explanation would help, especially when I harbored my own secret feelings.
Perhaps out of guilt, or perhaps because he’d developed an addiction to my body after that night, we maintained this relationship for exactly three years.
Simon never let me stay overnight. After each serving as his release, I’d drag my exhausted body back to my own quarters alone.
After drinking the tea, I fell into a hazy sleep.
In my dreams, I returned to the great blizzard years ago–the deadliest snowstorm in Silver Ridge history. Snow fell continuously for three months, and countless wolves froze to death, including my
parents.
They had shielded me with their bodies, leaving me barely alive when Simon found me and gave me
shelter.
At that time, his position as Alpha was still unstable, and many sought to challenge him.
After he survived another assassination attempt, I resolved to become a shadow guard, determined to protect him from harm.
The path to becoming a shadow guard was brutal, but I never gave up.
Eventually I succeeded, and he rose to become the powerful, respected Alpha of Silver Ridge Pack.

I knew I wasn’t worthy of him, but I still fell for those rare moments of tenderness he occasionally
showed.
Over the years, Simon blew hot and cold with me sometimes pushing me away, sometimes holding me close and begging me not to leave.
For that half–promise, I stayed loyal year after year.
I had thought I held at least some place in his heart, but now I realized that was just my delusion.
My sleep that night was restless, filled with memories of my years with Simon.
When I woke again, I had made my decision.
If he no longer needed me, then I had nothing left to stay for.
