Episode 6_The Hidden Truth
494 Words
Lila couldn’t stop thinking about Morris’s words.
Your wolf is trying to wake up.
It didn’t make sense.
Every werewolf awakened their wolf during adolescence.
But Lila never had.
The pack always treated her differently because of it.
Weak.
Incomplete.
Broken.
Yet around Morris… strange things kept happening.
The sparks.
The warmth.
The growing pull she couldn’t explain.
And somehow—
It all felt more real than anything she had ever felt with Kael.
The next morning, Lila headed toward the healing center carrying herbs for the omega healers.
But halfway there, voices stopped her.
She recognized them immediately.
Kael.
And the High Priest.
Hidden behind a stone wall, Lila froze as their conversation continued.
“This situation is becoming dangerous,” the priest whispered nervously.
Kael’s voice sounded cold. “Then fix it.”
“I warned you years ago. If the Alpha King discovers the truth—”
“He won’t.”
Lila frowned slightly.
Truth?
The priest lowered his voice further.
“The fake mate bond should never have lasted this long.”
Lila’s entire body went still.
Fake… mate bond?
Kael’s expression darkened dangerously.
“You said she would believe it completely.”
“She did,” the priest replied quickly. “But the Moon Goddess keeps resisting the lie.”
Lila’s heart nearly stopped beating.
No.
No, she had heard wrong.
The priest continued nervously.
“Once the Alpha King gets too close to her, the real bond may awaken fully.”
Kael suddenly grabbed the priest harshly by the collar.
“Then make sure it doesn’t.”
Fear flashed across the priest’s face.
“She is his true mate, Alpha Kael. Fate cannot be hidden forever.”
Lila staggered backward silently, her chest tightening painfully.
Everything around her blurred.
Fake mate bond.
True mate.
Alpha King.
The world she believed in shattered within seconds.
Kael was never her mate.
All those years…
All the humiliation…
All the rejection…
It had all been built on a lie.
Tears filled her eyes instantly.
But this time, they weren’t tears of heartbreak.
They were tears of anger.
Before she could stop herself, her foot accidentally snapped a branch beneath her.
The sound echoed loudly.
Kael’s head turned instantly.
“Who’s there?”
Panic hit her immediately.
Lila ran.
Fast.
Her heart pounded violently as footsteps followed behind her.
“Lila!”
Kael’s voice.
But she didn’t stop.
Not after what she just heard.
Not after realizing the truth.
Everything hurt.
Her chest.
Her pride.
Her wasted years.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her sharply into the shadows behind the training grounds.
Lila gasped softly—
Then froze.
Morris.
He quickly pressed a finger gently against her lips.
“Quiet.”
Moments later, Kael’s footsteps rushed past them without noticing.
Lila’s breathing shook uncontrollably.
Morris looked down at her carefully.
Then his expression changed immediately.
Because tears were silently falling down her face.
And somehow…
He already knew exactly why.
