The Stolen Mate and the Moon Goddess’s Trial Chapter 01

The Stolen Mate and the Moon Goddess’s Trial Chapter 01 My Sister Stole My Mate
My younger sister, Quinn, was cursed by a demon. Once a week, she had to sleep with my husband, Asher. If she failed to do so, the demon would erase her existence.
To save Quinn’s life, my family turned against me.
Dad growled, “Lila! If you’re really selfish enough to stop Asher helping Quinn, then get out of the Black Rock Pack!”
Mom said, “Your sister spent years suffering alone after she disappeared. She finally came home. After everything she went through, how can you refuse to do her a favor and watch her die?”
Even Asher, my usually quiet and reserved warrior husband, tried to persuade me.
He said, “Lila, we’re family. Helping her is the right thing to do.
“Don’t worry. I won’t let her be pregnant with my child.”
His hand brushed against my cheek as if he were comforting a child who had lost control of her emotions.
Quinn stood nearby with tears in her eyes.
She said, “If you really can’t accept it, then forget it. Anyway, this family can’t be without you.”
The fear of death made her tremble uncontrollably.
Everyone looked at me as if I were the cruel one.
“Lila, I really want to tear open your chest and see if you even have a heart.”
“Black Rock Pack doesn’t need a cold-hearted b*stard like you!”
“Lila, Quinn only just came of age. How can you stand there and watch her die?”
I stood alone in the darkness, my heart twisting with pain, yet I had no choice but to give in.
“Fine,” I said flatly.
That night, Quinn went into bed with my husband.
Quinn pleaded, “Lila, it’s my first time. I don’t really know what to do. Can you be my instructor?”
Therefore, I stood there and witnessed the whole process.
My entire family waited outside the bedroom, waiting to see whether Quinn would survive.
Asher’s breathing grew heavier. He held Quinn beneath him. One hand rested on her waist, but his movements were more restrained than I had expected.
Quinn’s body was tense. A small, frightened sound escaped her lips. “Is this okay?
“Should I need to do more?” she asked.
I nodded through my tears, my neck so stiff that I could barely move it.
Asher closed his eyes and pushed in inch by inch.
When he reached the deepest point, he suddenly paused, fighting the bond that connected him to me, and continued enjoying sex.
The room was painfully full of their groans.
Nearly an hour later, it was finally over.
Quinn collapsed on the bed, weak and tired.
Asher wiped the sweat from his forehead, his steps heavy as he got out of bed.
The scent of another woman still clung to him. However, the moment he looked at me, a faint trace of apology flashed through his eyes. He said, “I’ll take a shower.”
Quinn pulled the blanket around herself, leaned against the headboard, and suggested, “Why don’t we go together? Don’t keep them waiting too long.”
“What?” Asher looked startled, but his arms moved before his mind could stop them and pulled Quinn closer.
Seeing Asher’s shocked expression, Quinn immediately looked toward me and explained, “Lila, don’t be mad, please. Asher and I are doing this only because of the demon’s curse.”
The anger inside me had reached its limit, but I forced myself to remain calm.
A wounded wolf knew that to attack before the right moment was unwise.
“Be quick. It’s time for dinner,” Mom urged outside.
Hearing that, Asher simply picked Quinn up and carried her away.
Expressionless, I closed the door, but my stomach twisted violently at that moment.
A wave of nausea rushed through me. My body rejected what my eyes had witnessed.
The dinner table was silent.
I sat across from my parents, pretending the sounds of their having sex coming from the bathroom didn’t exist.
Through the blurred glass, I could still make out two figures tangled together.
Before I could say anything, Mom said with a gentle smile, “Lila, it’s Quinn’s first time. This is normal for her to be pleased.
“Just wait a little longer.”
I took a deep breath. The knife in my hand bent from the force of my grip.
Then, I let out a furious roar. “Asher is my mate!
“If Asher wants Quinn so badly, then just let them be together.
“I want to end my mate bond with Asher!”
The moment those words left my mouth, Dad became furious. He slammed his palm against the table so hard that the dishes rattled.
“Enough! I am the Alpha of Black Rock Pack! You don’t get to decide the fate of this pack!
“Besides, have you even thought about what you’re saying? Your sister is the one who will suffer if this gets out. You’ll ruin the reputation of the Black Rock Pack!”
Is there any reputation left to protect? How absurd!
His words almost made me laugh, but the next minute, my cheek burned with pain.
Mom had slapped me hard across the face.
She snapped, “How dare you talk to your dad that way?
“You truly let me down.”
I stared at Mom, unable to believe what had just happened. Then, the sound of running water in the bathroom stopped abruptly.
This was the first time she had ever hit me.
Tonight, she did it for Quinn, my sister who stole my mate, instead of my father.
The bathroom door opened. Asher stepped out behind Quinn, his hand supporting her toward the table.
Asher said, “Dad, Mom, please calm down. Lila didn’t mean to disrespect you.”
“That’s right. Lila isn’t someone who gets jealous easily,” Quinn echoed.
I lifted my eyes to Asher. My heart felt like it had been torn apart piece by piece.
I could still see Asher’s love for me in his eyes.
However, I could not figure out why he refused to stay by my side when I was most alone and helpless.
