Chapter 1

My brother Kael is the Alpha of Blackthorn Pack.

He treats me like a precious treasure,

and specifically asked his best friend, Cain, the Alpha of Hale Pack, to look after me.

On the night of my 18th birthday, when I first completed my wolf transformation and lost control,

Cain and I had a passionate one-night stand, and from then on, I became his secret lover.

For an entire year, I stayed by his side through every vulnerable period, gave up a top European medical program for him.

I always thought he loved me.

Until I went to the tennis court to get my brother's racket,

and caught him and his fated mate Lila having sex in the locker room.

"Zara is just a tool for releasing desire. Now that you're back, she's useless."

Through the crack in the door, his casual words to comfort Lila were like a poisoned silver blade, stabbing deep into my heart.

At the welcome party the next day, he publicly humiliated me for his true love.

I smiled, deleted all his contact information, then called my brother and finalized my trip to Europe.

Since you don't love me, I'll set you free.
