Chapter 3
That time in my life was probably the happiest I’d ever been.
For a while, I truly believed Alpha Jackson would love me wholeheartedly–that he was mine and mine alone.
But everything changed when his childhood friend, Yvonne Harper, reappeared.
No one expected her to return to Silver Claw Pack, let alone that she’d follow in Alpha Jackson’s footsteps, enrolling at Silver Claw Pack’s No. 1 University and becoming his so–called “junior.”
Even when I was with Alpha Jackson, Yvonne was always there–hovering in the background, delicate as a porcelain doll, yet

somehow unshakable..
She’d call out to him in her syrupy, singsong voice, playfully repeating, “Senior Jackson~” over and over again like a spell meant to ensnare him.
It grated on my nerves.
Jackson, to his credit, frowned the first time she did it and asked, “Why did you come here too?”
Yvonne tilted her head, her gaze flickering toward me before a slow, knowing smile curled on her lips.
“I’m used to having you take care of me, she said, her voice dripping with mock innocence. “Without you, I just can’t manage.”

Her words slithered through the air, deliberate, weighted, like she knew exactly what she was doing.
The sunlight caught her perfectly as she spoke, highlighting her delicate features, her silky hair catching the breeze like she had been born straight out of a werewolf romance novel.
Then, she added with a smirk, “From now on, I’ll be counting on you… Jackson… brother.”
I swore my wolf growled.
Yvonne wasn’t just issuing a challenge. No, this was something more.
This was a declaration.
When Yvonne said she needed care, she meant it in the most literal sense. Born with

congenital heart disease, she had always been fragile. Her family spoiled her endlessly, treating her like a treasured jewel.
So, of course, the news that Alpha Jackson and Yvonne would be attending the same university delighted her parents.
They even called him personally to ask that he look after her.
Jackson hesitated before glancing at me, something unreadable in his expression.
Then, into the phone, he said quietly, “Auntie, I have a girlfriend.”
He hadn’t put the call on speaker, so I couldn’t hear what was said on the other
end. But I felt the shift in him the moment it ended.

Alpha Jackson was uncharacteristically silent for a long time after that.
And I knew.
I knew.
That moment marked a turning point.
After that, Alpha Jackson was no longer mine alone.
I replayed Yvonne’s words in my mind, the way she had said “counting on you” with that barely concealed smirk.
She hadn’t been joking.
She wasn’t testing the waters.
She had made up her mind.

Yvonne Harper had returned to take what she believed was hers.
