Dethroning the Alpha King Who Dumped Me Chapter 03 A Deal for My Pack’s Revival

After returning to my room, I shut the door behind me and pulled out a folded piece of beast- hide parchment from within my clothes.

This was the entry permit to the ancient secret realm of the Fallen Dust Ruins that I had painstakingly secured.

The Fallen Dust Ruins is an ancient secret realm sealed for a thousand years on the werewolf continent, where the ancestors of the ancient wolf clans are buried. Beneath it lie vast amounts of pure wolf power crystals and bloodline inheritances-it is the only opportunity I have right now to strengthen my wolf spirit and revive the Blue Moon Pack.

I unfolded the parchment, and clear writing came into view-the secret realm would open in seven days.

At that time, it would be my chance to strengthen my wolf spirit.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. It was Jack.

I quickly put it away, hid it under the bed, and composed myself,

“Come in.”

Jack pushed the door open, his face full of confusion, “You’re acting strange today. Why have you suddenly gone so cold? What’s wrong?”

I looked at him with undisguised sarcasm, “Isn’t this what you’ve always wanted? A Luna who doesn’t argue, doesn’t get jealous, and doesn’t cause you trouble.”

Jack was instantly left speechless, stumbling over his words, “I…”

“If there’s nothing else, I want to rest.” I turned back to making my bed, unwilling to say another word to him.

“Wait.” Jack stepped forward quickly to stop me, his expression hesitant. “I came to ask you for something. I need to borrow the Blue Moon Pack’s heirloom-the Umbral Jade Crystal.”

The Umbral Jade Crystal is a treasured relic passed down through generations of the Blue Moon Pack. It contains pure ancient wolf power, capable of nourishing the wolf spirit and stabilizing chaotic bloodlines. It is an unparalleled treasure for repairing damaged omega bloodlines-and after the pack’s downfall, it is one of the few precious relics we have left.

I slowly turned around, “Reason.”

“For Saria.” Jack’s tone was earnest and urgent. “She was born with a defective bloodline, and her

wolf spirit has been unstable for years. Now her condition is getting worse-only the Umbral Jade Crystal can stabilize her bloodline. Otherwise, her bloodline will collapse, and she’ll che You know she once saved my life-I can’t abandon her.”

My heart went completely cold inside.

In my previous life, it was the very same excuse. I softened and gave in, lending it to him without reserve-all for just a scrap of his approval.

Yet my thoughtfulness and tolerance only earned me betrayal and slaughter in the end.

Now, I would never again be the fool who humbled herself to please him.

“I can lend it to you,” I said lightly. Just as Jack’s face lit up with joy, I added coldly, “But I want your century-accumulated high-tier wolf essence reserve in exchange.”

Jack’s expression froze instantly.

That reserve was the top-tier source of wolf power he had spent a hundred years collecting-a priceless foundation used to nourish an Alpha’s strength and secure his throne. To exchange it for a temporary loan of the crystal was utterly absurd.

Anger flashed across his eyes, but then he smiled as if he had figured something out. “I get it— you’re jealous. You’re making unreasonable demands and acting cold just to get my attention. You don’t want me to help Saria, right?”

Looking at his self-satisfied expression, I found it laughable.

For now, I wasn’t his match, so I simply went along with his assumption. “Think whatever you want.”

Jack nodded immediately. “Fine. I agree.”

I sneered inwardly. Sure enough, Saria meant far more to him than I ever did.

“Oh, right.” Jack continued, “There’s a werewolf continent ball in two days. You’ll attend with

me.”

I froze for a moment. In my previous life, he never took me to any grand events-each time claiming Saria needed his company and bringing her instead.

“Why ask me to go now?” I asked.

“You are my Luna,” he said as if it were obvious. “Going public with our relationship is the only way to stabilize the clans.”

I was about to refuse when the door was suddenly pushed open.

Saria stood at the entrance, wearing that diamond ring, raising her hand. “Jack, does it look good?”

Jack’s eyes instantly filled with indulgence and admiration. “It’s exquisite-perfect for you.”

Saria smiled sweetly, then looked at me cautiously. “Are you talking about the ball? Luna, are you going too? If it’s because of me that you don’t want to attend, I can choose not to go.”

Every word she spoke was perfectly measured, crafting an image of innocent fragility.

I couldn’t be bothered with her and simply nodded to indicate that I would attend.

I had to admit I was looking forward to this ball.

Because I was about to give them a devastating surprise…
