I stared at the two pink lines on the pregnancy test, my hands trembling so violently I nearly dropped it into the marble sink. The bathroom of our Alpha suite suddenly felt too small, the air too thick, as if the walls themselves were holding their breath with me. Pregnant. I was carrying Reid's pup. Our heir. A laugh bubbled up from my chest, half-sob, half-euphoria. My free hand pressed against my still-flat stomach, and I swore I could feel something there—a warmth, a promise, a future. Five years. Five years of standing beside Reid as he built the Ironclaw Pack from nothing, of enduring whispered doubts about whether the prestigious Alpha's daughter had made a terrible mistake mating a former rogue. Five years of watching shadows cross his face whenever Karina's name was mentioned, of pretending I didn't notice how his jaw tightened at the memory of his "chosen mate." But this—this changed everything.

My mother and I had spent years treating the Luna’s chronic headaches, and in gratitude, Luna Dayana Vasquez bestowed upon me the Luna’s insignia—a rare honor—and offered to arrange my mating. Without hesitation, I chose the fifth Lycan Prince, Rhys Mason. The pack was abuzz with whispers of disbelief. After all, it was no secret that I had adored the ninth Lycan Prince, Karson Mason, for sixteen years, even declaring that I would never mate anyone but him. In my past life, Luna Dayana had indeed arranged my mating with Karson. But on the night of our mark ceremony, he had humiliated me in front of the entire pack, accusing me of tearing him apart from my adopted sister, Tallulah Powell, and leaving me alone in the mating chamber. For three years, he refused to let me near him. When Luna Dayana learned of this, she sent Tallulah to a distant territory. Karson believed I had conspired to separate them out of jealousy, and in retaliation, he forced me to drink a concoction that left me barren. He filled our home with other she-wolves, binding me outside his room to witness his infidelity.

There is one thing you should know about me - I am a wolf without fur or any special abilities. An outcast in my pack. My mate rejected me for my sister. But by some twist of fate, I am now married to Alpha King Conry. I know, I know - I've survived a lot. But will I be petty and seek revenge? Hell yeah, I will. Quietly don't judge me. You know you hate your ex too.

The grand hall of the Silvermoon pack house glittered with silver and blue decorations, a celebration meant to honor me—Luna Victoria Sterling—on my thirty-fifth birthday. Yet as I stood in the shadows at the edge of the gathering, I felt more like a ghost than a guest of honor. Marcus, my mate and Alpha, commanded the center of the room with his powerful presence. His voice boomed across the hall as he addressed our pack members. "Today, we celebrate not just a birthday, but the continued strength of the Silvermoon Pack!" Marcus's chest puffed out, his hand resting on his hip in that familiar pose of authority. "Our dominance in the Western territories is unmatched, our warriors undefeated!" Not once did he mention my name or my contributions as his Luna. *He's forgotten this is supposed to be about you,* Sarah, my wolf, whispered in my mind. I could feel her restlessness, her hackles rising as she paced the corners of my consciousness. *It's fine,* I responded silently, though we both knew it wasn't. Fourteen years of marriage, and I had grown accustomed to being overlooked despite my rare healing abilities that had saved countless pack members and strengthened our position among neighboring territories.

The evening air carried the sweet scent of moonflowers as I hurried through the pack grounds, my heart light with anticipation. Tonight marked our tenth mating anniversary, and I'd spent the entire day overseeing preparations for the Feast of the Moon celebration. The pack members had shooed me away early, insisting they could handle the final arrangements without their Luna's supervision. "Go surprise your Alpha," Beta Sarah had urged with a knowing smile. "Ten years deserves something special." I clutched the small wrapped package in my hand—a hand-carved wooden frame containing a sketch I'd made of Ryan and me from our marking ceremony. My artistic talents were something I rarely shared with anyone but him. *He's going to love it,* I thought, touching the Luna necklace at my throat, tracing its intricate moon pattern—a nervous habit I'd developed over the years. As I approached our private quarters in the pack house, a sharp, unsettling sensation rippled through my chest. My wolf, Lyra, suddenly howled within me, her silver presence agitated and restless. *Something's wrong,* she whimpered, clawing at my consciousness.

After an intimate moment, Alpha Cyrus held me close, his voice low and steady. “You’ve been with me for three years; it’s time to let you go.” I stiffened, my heart skipping a beat. He continued, “Find someone new to replace you when you have the time.” The words settled heavily in the air, and I knew immediately who he had in mind—Romina Thompson, the newly promoted Delta in our pack. She fit his ideal mate better than I ever could. I disentangled myself from him, not crying or causing a scene, and simply replied, “Yes, Alpha.” --- When Alpha Cyrus spoke of setting me free, I felt an odd sense of calm, as if I’d been expecting this moment for a while. Noticing my lack of reaction, his brow furrowed slightly, and his tone turned cooler. “Find someone new to replace you when you have the time.” My mind instantly went to Romina, the vibrant young Delta who had recently caught his eye. She reminded me of myself when I first joined the pack—full of energy and ambition. With that thought, I started to get up, but his hand shot out, gripping my arm. “What are you doing?” he asked, his voice sharp.

My life has been a tempest of shattered dreams. Once, I dared to imagine a perfect world: Alpha Sean's hands tangled in my hair, our daughter Ellie's laughter a melody, sunlight spilling through our cabin like liquid gold. But reality struck like a lightning bolt. Sean's indifference turned to ice; Claire's scheming slithered into our lives like a venomous snake. Then came the unthinkable-Ellie's light snuffed out by Claire's cruelty, her last breath a whisper I'll hear until I die. That day, the naive she-wolf died with her dream to see her father. Through it all, Ellie's smile haunts me, to burn the world down if I must, to make them pay. For her. Always for her.

It was the Mating Ceremony, the most important day for our pack, but for me, it felt like walking to the gallows. I stood on the velvet carpet, waiting for Jacob, the Alpha heir, to claim me. Suddenly, my younger sister Bella threw herself at the Elder's feet, screaming that she and Jacob were in love. Jacob didn't deny it. He looked at me with cold calculation, announced he chose her, and publicly broke our engagement. In my previous life, this betrayal broke me. I had fought to marry him, only to become a "defective incubator" locked in a room. I remembered the bruises that never healed and the fire that eventually killed me. While I burned to death, Jacob only cared about saving Bella. Now, standing in the same spot, the crowd mocked me as "damaged goods." My father sneered, pointing to the back of the room where the "lesser" clans stood, telling me to pick a rat or a snake if I wanted to stay in the Pack House. They thought they were ruining me. They didn't realize they were handing me the key to my freedom. I turned away from the smirking wolves and walked toward the darkest corner of the room. There sat Draco, the Serpent King, a man everyone feared and despised. He was the only one who had tried to smash through the burning beams to save me in my past life. I stopped in front of him, ignored the gasps of the crowd, and extended my hand. "I choose you."

My mother, Adley Simmons, was once revered as a blessed healer by the Moon Goddess, the Luna of the Rivera Pack, and the cherished mate of Alpha Derrick Rivera. My uncle, Beta Zen Cruz, had sworn to protect her as his own sister. Yet, when she was captured by rogue werewolves during a pack gathering, neither of them lifted a finger to save her. Instead, they stood by, watching as she was brought to the auction block, her healing abilities twisted into a grotesque spectacle. I sent frantic mind links to my father and uncle, pleading for them to intervene, but they blocked my messages without a second thought. Instead, they escorted Zaria Morales, the rogue they had taken in, to the center of the gathering, treating her like a queen. “You mentioned your scent was weakening,” my father said to Zaria, his voice dripping with false affection. “I found the perfect remedy for you—this healer’s essence. They say she’s blessed by the Moon Goddess herself. We’ll extract her power and make it yours.” Zaria’s eyes gleamed with malice.

Betrayal shatters a fated bond when a powerful Alpha chooses to save his mistress over his own mate. Left to perish in agony, the discarded lunar bride unexpectedly survives the ultimate rejection. Driven by the scars of his cold indifference, she rises from the ashes of her former life. Now, she seeks justice against the man who traded her soul for another's touch, turning her tragic end into a fierce journey of reclamation and revenge.

I stared at the pregnancy test in my trembling hands, the two pink lines blurring through my tears. After months of trying, it had finally happened. I was carrying the Alpha heir. My hand instinctively moved to my still-flat stomach, cradling the tiny life growing inside me. Our pup. Kian's and mine. "We're going to be parents," I whispered to my wolf, Aria, who purred with contentment inside me. I couldn't wait to see Kian's face when I told him. His eyes would light up with that rare smile he reserved only for me—his Luna, his mate, the woman he'd chosen above all others. "He'll be so happy," I murmured, hurrying to change into the silver dress he'd bought me last month.

The metallic scent of blood still clung to my hands as I stumbled through the pre-dawn darkness toward the healing chambers. Three warriors had arrived at my door near midnight, their bodies mangled from a border skirmish with rogues. Marcus Thompson's men, seeking sanctuary and emergency treatment that only I could provide. My wolf, Luna, stirred restlessly within me as we approached the familiar stone building. Something felt wrong. The usual warmth that emanated from our sacred space was absent, replaced by an oppressive chill that made my skin crawl. "We saved them all," I whispered to myself, flexing fingers that ached from hours of channeling healing energy. The youngest warrior had been barely breathing when they'd carried him in, his chest torn open by rogue claws. Now he would live to see his mate again. But as I pushed open the heavy wooden door, pride in my work evaporated like morning mist.

Taylor Medina and I shared a lifetime of love. After my death, he removed his crown and knelt before the Lycan King, pleading only for a Luna's title to honor me. When I opened my eyes again, I was back at fifteen. Taylor came to my pack to propose. Priceless gifts, hundreds of businesses. But it was my sister, Louise Bennett, he sought to mate. Taylor, fearing I might cause trouble, looked weary. "Eden," he said, his voice soft but firm, "I loved Louise all my life, so I can only mate with her. But I’ll treat you like a sister and care for you forever." I sighed lightly, turning away without hesitation. Fine.

The powerful rumble of my motorcycle vibrated through my body as I pulled into the Moonstone Hotel's courtyard, the sleek black-and-silver machine gleaming under the morning sun. Behind me, Leo's small arms tightened around my waist, his excited giggles warming my heart even through the leather of my courier jacket. "Mom, that was awesome!" he exclaimed as I cut the engine. "Can we go faster next time?" I laughed, helping my five-year-old son dismount before swinging my leg over the bike. "Any faster and Alexander would have my head, little prince." Leo's eyes—so much like his father's—sparkled with mischief. "Dad says you're the fastest rider in the pack!" "And that's our little secret," I winked, adjusting the leather satchel containing the alliance documents Alexander had entrusted me to deliver. Today was "bring your pup to pack duties" day, and Leo had been bouncing with excitement all morning at the prospect of accompanying me. I straightened my courier outfit—practical black pants and a fitted jacket with the Royal Lycan Court insignia subtly embroidered on the sleeve. It wasn't the flowing gowns I typically wore at court, but I'd always preferred function over flash for actual work. As we approached the hotel entrance, I noticed the uniformed attendants exchanging glances.

Cristian Mason, the Alpha of the Shadow Fang Pack, was chosen by Lycan King Rayden Moore to save Lottie Johnston, a rogue from the Red River Pack. But it was me, Noemi Howell, healer of the Silver Moon Pack, who caught his heart the moment we met. Every time his feelings for me deepened, he was struck by a punishing surge of the Moon Goddess’s wrath. On our wedding night, after enduring eighty-one such surges, he was left weakened and battered, yet he still whispered, “Noemi, the Moon Goddess may want me to forsake you, but I’ll risk everything to make you my Luna.” Later, when rogues attacked the Shadow Fang territory, I was captured and thrown into the pack dungeon, where ninety-nine silver spikes were driven into my body. In my despair, I remembered he had once taught me how to sharpen my mind link. But what I heard through it shattered me. “Cristian, how could you let Noemi endure this torture in the dungeon? Isn’t she your mate?” Cristian’s voice was icy. “This punishment was meant for Lottie. To save her, I had no choice but to let Noemi take her place.” “Besides, Noemi’s a healer.

The infirmary of the Blue Moon Pack received a young she-wolf with a ruptured ovarian cyst. She met my gaze and adjusted her neckline, exposing the faint scent of rosemary clinging to her skin—a scent that was unmistakably Rhys’s. My stomach churned, but I forced myself to remain composed. As the pack’s Healer, I couldn’t let personal feelings interfere with my duty. "Healer Cruz," she began, her voice dripping with false sweetness, "how often do you and your mate spend time together?" Her words struck like a blow, but I refused to let it show. My wolf stirred within me, a low growl forming in the back of my mind, but I silenced her. Not here. Not now. --- When Lana Griffin walked into the infirmary, her presence was impossible to ignore. She was beautiful, her golden hair cascading over her shoulders, her figure lithe yet curvaceous—the kind of she-wolf who turned heads wherever she went.

Deep within the palace, there was no soul unaware of the Seventh Prince Jason's devotion to the maid Nova. Once, he had solemnly vowed that if he ever became Crown Prince, she would be his principal consort. On the very day he first gained an audience with the Emperor, his foremost request was for permission to marry her. Though he knew full well the contempt he’d endured due to his own mother’s lowly origins as a maid, he stubbornly insisted on wedding a palace maid anyway—throwing the imperial court into an uproar. In those days, his eyes held only her. Yet, on the day he was officially named Crown Prince, he returned with a woman from another world: Kimberly. Spouting strange ideas about “equality for all,” she effortlessly won the adoration of every servant in the Crown Prince’s Palace. On her very first day, she took it upon herself to gather all the gold, silver, jewelry, and even the love tokens Jason had given Nova over the years—and distributed everything to the servants. “Since we all live under the same roof,” she declared, “we’re one family. We should share the wealth!” Nova’s eyes stung with furious tears. And Jason, standing beside her, turned a blind eye. Back when they could barely keep food on the table, he had forbidden her from selling even a single keepsake. Now, he let Kimberly give them all away. When Nova looked at him, her eyes brimming, he merely said calmly, “Kimberly has a point. This is how we win loyalty. As the future mistress here, you should lead by example.” Later, when assassins struck, Nova threw herself in front of Jason, taking a fatal arrow meant for his heart. In the chaos, a guard was also gravely wounded protecting his master. With only one life-saving pill left, Kimberly spoke up. “Isn’t a guard’s life a life too? Without this pill, his arm is ruined forever. But Miss Nova’s injury is too severe. Even if she takes it, she might not survive.” She gently took Jason’s hand, her voice soft and persuasive. “You understand, don’t you? Which choice truly wins hearts?” So Nova watched, helpless, as the pill that had nearly reached her lips was taken back by Jason. Tears streamed silently down her face as he met her gaze, cold and indifferent. “Kimberly is right. Public favor is everything—and so easily lost. You know better than anyone how hard this road has been for me. Today, whether you live or die is in fate’s hands.” With that, he turned and left with Kimberly. From a distance, his tender murmur reached her: “You are always so clever, Kimberly, easing my burdens at the most critical moment.” Watching their retreating figures, the pain in Nova’s chest became unbearable. More agonizing than the arrow wound was the gradual chilling of her heart. Her whole body grew cold, trembling, as she felt life slipping away. In her delirium, she remembered the days before Kimberly appeared. Back then, Jason was a discarded son whom everyone could bully. His mother’s lowly status as a maid meant he was overlooked by the Emperor and humiliated even by other palace servants. It was Nova who stole food to pull him back from death’s door when he lay dying. On her deathbed, his mother had personally entrusted him to Nova’s care. She taught him how to conduct himself before the Emperor, how to win imperial favor, how to survive in a palace that devoured the weak. So when he knelt before the throne to ask for her hand, she was terrified. “Have you lost your mind? You’ve finally earned the Emperor’s notice—now you want to throw it all away?” But he gazed at her, gentle yet intense. “I know the cost. But I promised I would marry you, Nova. If I become Crown Prince, you will be my Crown Princess. If I become Emperor, you *will* be my Empress.” “For now, I can only ask you to bear the shame of being my concubine.” That day, the Emperor’s wrath was terrible. Jason was beaten until his flesh was torn and bloody. Once again, he fell out of favor—yet he never showed a hint of regret. Ultimately, he proved his worth and regained the Emperor’s approval, earning a single concession: “Youthful folly. If in six months you still insist on this, I will permit it.” Before that half-year had passed, Jason brought Kimberly back to the Crown Prince’s Palace. The first time that woman laid eyes on Nova, she looked her up and down with an undisguised, appraising stare—one that felt deeply unsettling. “So you’re Jason’s concubine?” Her tone was flippant, a slight smile on her lips. “I heard you’ve pinned your entire existence on a man.”
