I’m the Alpha Female Now Chapter 08
The Darkmoon pack was making preparations for the coronation ceremony, and a brand-new chapter of my life was about to begin.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, the Silverfang pack presented a far more miserable picture.
The lives of Jacob and his patrol team had long plummeted into an abyss.
Having lost all combat strength, Jacob and every guard who consumed the potion were reduced to useless invalids.
The once proud and accomplished elite patrol team ultimately became the laughingstock of the entire pack.
Unwilling to feed freeloaders, the Alpha officially stripped them of their ranks and banished them from the territory.
Having lost their titles and glory, they were left with absolutely nothing.
The once-arrogant captain was now reduced to a pitiful state.
Left with no other options, Jacob could only swallow his pride and lead the team in forming a low-level mercenary group to take on hired jobs.
Without decent employment, they drifted from place to place, taking on strenuous manual labor that everyone else turned up their noses at just to scrape together a meal. They lived a desperate, pathetic existence.
Day after day of grueling labor steadily chipped away at their spirits.
Whenever they remembered their past glory and looked at their current downfall, endless regret would overwhelm them.
Every single one of them knew that their current tragic fate was entirely of their own making.
Not long after, they secured a temporary job at the Darkmoon Pack, handling outer perimeter security for the Alpha coronation ceremony.
The job paid pennies and came with chaotic tasks, yet it was the best opportunity these desperate men could grasp.
The group rushed to the Darkmoon pack, battered and travel-worn.
The moment they stepped into the territory, the overwhelming grandeur that greeted them made their already humbled selves feel even more insignificant.
On the day of the ceremony, thousands of pack members gathered in the main square, waiting for the proceedings to begin.
When I stepped up to the high throne clad in regal royal robes, the entire crowd went dead silent before erupting into a tidal wave of thunderous cheers.
I stood tall and dignified, my composed demeanor exuding a commanding presence.
Hidden amidst the massive crowd, Jacob and the guards looked up and froze, unable to believe their own eyes.
They could never have imagined that I was the incoming Alpha Female of the Darkmoon pack.
In their memory, I was always gentle and accommodating, bending over backward for Jacob and revolving my entire world around him.
Yet the shewolf standing high above on that stage was a ruler far beyond their reach.
The guards were both shocked and ecstatic. They frantically nudged the paralyzed Jacob. “Captain! It’s Wendy! I can’t believe she has such a noble status. Go apologize to her! She used to love you so much. If she’s willing to forgive us and help, we can finally escape this miserable life!”
Spurred on by the team’s relentless urging, a tiny spark of hope ignited deep in Jacob’s eyes.
As he looked up at me standing in the midst of glory, endless regret and unwillingness surged within his heart
Jacob took a deep breath, straightened his tattered clothes, and prepared to push through the crowd to beg for my forgiveness.
Just as he was about to step forward, Dad walked calmly to the center of the square. His powerful voice echoed across the entire venue.
“Today, my beloved daughter, Wendy Conner, officially ascends the throne as the Alpha Female of the Darkmoon pack! Furthermore, Wendy has signed a mate bond with Alpha Jason Arnold of the Crimson pack!
“Their wedding will mark the beginning of an alliance between our two packs, allowing us to stand united and build a glorious future together!”
The moment his words landed, deafening cheers erupted across the square.
A tall, sharp-featured werewolf stepped to my side, gently wrapping a protective arm around me. His eyes overflowed with adoration.
We stood shoulder-to-shoulder on the throne, perfectly matched in strength, status, and power.
The pack members below couldn’t help whispering among themselves in awe.
“Standing together, they truly look like a match made in heaven!”
“Jason is so lucky to secure a mate bond with Alpha Wendy.”
“With two powerful packs joining forces, our pack will only grow stronger from here on out.”
The scene shattered every last bit of wishful thinking and delusion in Jacob’s heart.
He stood frozen in the crowd. His entire body went numb as sharp pangs of agony ripped through his chest.
Every word of praise and blessing felt like a blade piercing his soul.
Jacob finally realized that he no longer had a single chance.
The Wendy who used to give him 99 chances to mate with her had long been thrown away by his own hands.
Now, I was the supreme ruler of the Darkmoon pack, respected by all and surrounded by endless glory, with the finest mate to walk beside me.
We were already worlds apart.
Beside him, the guards fell completely silent. Not a single person dared to mention winning me back or begging for mercy ever again.
As the ceremony concluded, the crowd slowly dispersed.
Jacob kept his head lowered the entire time, unable to even look up at the stage. He left the Darkmoon pack with the rest of his team in absolute desolation.
For the rest of my life, my path would be paved with brilliance and infinite glory.
Meanwhile, Jacob would spend the rest of his days trapped at the bottom of society, consumed by endless regret and paying the ultimate price for his foolishness and failure to cherish what he once had.
