My Sister Couldn’t Tame Her Alpha? Fine. I’ll Do It! Chapter 02

A woman stood by the gate, fingers pinching her nose, leaning into the guy next to her like I carried the plague or something.

I glanced at the man she was pressed against. Tall. Built. Good-looking face, but cold as hell.

That’s him. The Wintermaw Alpha. The guy who wasted forty years of my sister’s life.

I hopped off the hood, grabbed my duffel, and walked straight past that Omega like she didn’t exist.

“Wintermaw.” I stopped in front of him and held out the contract. “Thera Nightveil. From the east. Take a look, sign it, then tell me where the bathroom is. I’ve been driving three days straight. Smell worse than a tire.”

He took the contract. Didn’t say a word. Eyes moved from the paper to my face.

Still nothing.

Behind me, the Omega’s voice trembled. “Corvax… is she always this rude?”

I didn’t turn around. “Sweetheart, I haven’t even started yet.”

I slung my bag over my shoulder and headed for the gate. Follow or don’t. If he didn’t, I’d find the bathroom myself.

Ten seconds later, footsteps behind me. I glanced back—Corvax carrying my second bag, face blank, not a word.

Fine. A walking wall. No wonder Avelina suffocated for forty years.

That Omega played the victim 24/7, and this guy played mute. My sister was too proud to live like that.

But I’m not Avelina. I don’t hold it in. Someone pisses me off, I blow up right then and there.

Can’t blow up? I throw hands.

The contract had been filed before I even arrived. Wintermaw’s old man set it all up ahead of time.

Two days later, we had a ceremony.

His parents were long gone. My side was still pissed—nobody showed. Everyone there was a wolf I didn’t know. But they still hung lights and roasted a whole deer.

Looked decent enough.

“I really envy Thera.”

A voice drifted over from the crowd. Soft. Shaky. Perfectly timed.

“Family contract, and just like that, she became Corvax’s Luna. So lucky.” The voice paused. “Not like me…”

The laughter stopped. Everyone shut up. Every person in the room turned—first to her, then to me.

Auriel stood there, face buried in her hands, shoulders trembling. Textbook heartbroken.

Last time, this exact act destroyed Avelina. Crying, performing, making everyone think my sister stole what should’ve been hers.

Not this time.

Before I could think twice, I was already moving. I stepped right up, grabbed Corvax by the collar, and kissed him hard.

Then I pulled back just a little—and sank my teeth straight into the side of his neck.

The whole place went dead silent.

Everyone stared at me. An outsider she-wolf who just marked the strongest Alpha in the north without asking.

I let go, licked the blood off my lips, and turned to look at Auriel. She stood frozen, tears still on her face, mouth hanging open.

“Marks aren’t something someone gives you.” I tapped the fresh bite on Corvax’s neck. “You take them yourself. I just did.”

I leaned into Corvax, rested one hand on his chest, and smiled at her real sweet.

“Cry all you want, babe. But crying over someone else’s man at their engagement party? At least bring a tissue.”

Corvax’s face stayed blank. But his ears turned red.

The crowd exploded into whispers. I didn’t care. Let them talk. They all saw me bite him. That’s all that mattered.

Auriel wiped her eyes, took a deep breath, and looked at Corvax. Those eyes were huge and wet, like a startled deer.

“I’m truly happy for you.” She clasped her hands together. “It’s just… tomorrow’s the anniversary. My parents’. And my birthday. The day we go together every year.” She swallowed. “I already got everything ready. If… if your mate doesn’t want you to go, you don’t have to. I can go alone.”

Every eye in the room landed on me again.

Corvax’s jaw tightened. “I’ll be there.”

The hand I had on his waist slowly curled into a fist. I took a step back, pivoted on my heel—

Then I threw him.
