The Hidden Luna

Lira has spent her entire life at the bottom of the pack hierarchy. Found abandoned near the borders of the Silver Crest Pack as a child, she grew up as an omega-unwanted, unseen, and constantly reminded that she doesn't belong. At nineteen, she still hasn't shifted into a wolf, making her the weakest member of a world where strength is everything. To the pack, she is nothing. Just the girl who cleans the floors. Just the omega everyone forgets. But what no one knows is that Lira carries a secret buried deep within her soul. A secret even she doesn't remember. Years ago, the Moon Goddess blessed a child with extraordinary power-power so rare and dangerous that it had to be sealed away to keep her safe. Hidden among wolves who would never suspect the truth, that child grew up believing she was ordinary. Until fate finally catches up with her. Alpha Kael of the powerful Nightfall Pack has waited years for his fated mate. Strong, respected, and feared across the territories, he refuses to claim any Luna except the one chosen for him by the Moon Goddess. But when he finally finds her during the Full Moon Gathering, the bond shocks everyone. Because his mate... Is the weak omega no one wants. As enemies begin to stir and secrets from the past slowly unravel, Lira will discover that the power sleeping inside her was never meant to stay hidden forever. And when the truth awakens, the omega they once mocked may become something far more dangerous- A Luna blessed by the moon itself.

The walk back to the Silver Crest packhouse felt very different from the one earlier that day.

Lira stayed close beside Kael as they moved through the forest path. Her mind was still spinning from everything that had happened.

Her wolf.

The shift.

Alpha Darius.

And the strange way he had looked at her.

Like she was something valuable.

Or dangerous.

Neither thought made her comfortable.

"You're quiet," Kael said as they walked.

Lira glanced up at him.

"I'm thinking."

"That can be dangerous."

Despite everything, she gave a small smile.

"I'm serious."

"So am I," he replied calmly.

She sighed.

"That man... Alpha Darius."

"Yes."

"He said the other packs would come for me."

Kael didn't answer immediately.

That silence made her nervous.

"You think he's right, don't you?" she asked.

Kael finally looked at her.

"Yes."

The honesty surprised her.

"But they won't succeed," he added quickly.

"You're very confident."

"I'm an Alpha," he said simply.

"Confidence is part of the job."

Lira tried to laugh, but the uneasy feeling inside her chest remained.

Because deep down...

Her wolf was still restless.

Back at the packhouse, the atmosphere had shifted again.

Word had already spread about Lira's shift.

And not just any shift.

A silver wolf.

Several wolves whispered when they saw her walking beside Kael.

"Did you see her earlier?"

"They said her fur glowed."

"That's impossible."

Lira lowered her head slightly.

She hated being the center of attention.

Kael noticed.

"Ignore them."

"I'm trying."

They stepped into the main hall where several pack members had gathered.

Silver Crest's Alpha stood near the center of the room.

His sharp eyes immediately landed on Lira.

"I heard something interesting happened in the forest."

Kael nodded.

"She shifted."

The room fell silent again.

The Alpha looked at Lira.

"Is that true?"

Lira nodded slowly.

"Yes Alpha"

His gaze studied her carefully.

"And?"

Lira hesitated.

Then she said quietly,

"My wolf is... different."

Murmurs spread across the room.

Clara stood near the back wall, watching everything with burning eyes.

Different.

Of course she was different.

Everything about this situation was wrong.

An omega Luna.

A glowing wolf.

Now whispers of prophecy were starting to spread among the warriors.

Clara's fists clenched.

She refused to let that girl take everything.

Later that night, when the packhouse finally quieted again, Clara slipped out through the back entrance.

The moon hung high in the sky.

The forest was dark.

But she walked confidently through the trees as if she knew exactly where she was going.

And she did.

A shadow moved ahead.

Alpha Darius stepped out from behind a tree.

"Right on time," he said with a grin.

Clara folded her arms.

"I shouldn't even be here."

"Yet you came."

She glared at him.

"I want her gone."

Darius chuckled.

"That was obvious."

Clara stepped closer.

"You said other packs would come for her."

"They will."

"But I want her gone before that happens."

Darius studied her carefully.

"And what exactly are you offering me in return?"

Clara's voice dropped.

"Information."

Darius raised an eyebrow.

"Go on."

"She's leaving soon."

"With Kael."

"Yes."

Darius smiled slowly.

"That's very helpful."

Clara leaned closer.

"Nightfall territory is large. Dangerous."

Her voice lowered to a whisper.

"Accidents happen in the forest."

Darius's smile widened.

"Oh, Clara..."

"You're far more interesting than I thought."

She stepped back.

"Just make sure she never becomes Luna."

Darius nodded once.

"I'll take care of it."

Clara turned and disappeared back into the forest.

Darius watched her go, amusement dancing in his eyes.

"Humans," he muttered.

Then he looked toward the distant packhouse.

His gaze darkened.

"The Omega Luna."

He had been searching for power like hers for years.

And now fate had practically delivered it to him.

He smiled.

Kael thought he had won.

But the real game had only just begun.

Back inside the packhouse, Lira sat near the window of her small room.

The moonlight spilled across the floor.

Her wolf stirred inside her again.

Something feels wrong.

Lira frowned.

"What do you mean?"

Danger is coming.

Lira stood slowly.

A strange unease filled her chest.

As if something important had just shifted in the world around her.

And somewhere deep in the forest...

Two red eyes opened in the darkness.

Watching.

Waiting.

Because the hunt for the Hidden Luna...

Had officially begun.

I removed an intern from an award nomination for stealing my dead sister's research. My husband, Craig, was furious. He chose to defend her, not me. His rage turned violent. He destroyed my life's work-a cure for Alzheimer's-then shoved me so hard I miscarried our child. He called me "dramatic" as I bled on the floor. Then he locked me in our home, a prisoner, forcing me to sign over my patents to his mistress, the woman who drove my sister to suicide. He thought he had broken me, that I was his to control. But when he tried to humiliate me in the most depraved way imaginable, I saw my chance. I threw myself from a second-story window. As I lay broken on the ground, watching him rush to his mistress's side, I made a vow. My revenge was just beginning.

After My Man Matched Answers with His Mistress

I only picked up his phone to set an alarm. It was almost midnight. Kolson was in the shower, and I could hear the water running through the wall of our apartment — the one we'd shared for three years on Capitol Hill, the one with the crooked kitchen shelf he kept promising to fix. My phone was dead on the nightstand, charger cord too short to reach the bed. His was right there, face down on the comforter. I typed in his passcode. Same one he'd used since college — his mom's birthday. The screen opened to a text thread. Not mine. The name at the top said Azalea with a small red flower emoji beside it.

He Stripped Off His Ring So I Stripped Him of Everything

I funded the company. I funded the truck, the gear, the deposit on the lot. Ryan got the handshake and the title. For two years I let him have the spotlight because that's what marriage was supposed to be. Then I slipped away from the campfire to find him, and stopped outside an RV with a busted screen door. I didn't see them first. I heard them. A laugh I didn't recognize, in a voice I did—Dana, the girl from his college stories, back for one weekend and apparently more. He didn't know I was standing there. He didn't know my grandmother left the business in a trust with my name on every line. He didn't know I'd already hit record. By morning Ryan thought we'd "talk it through." He didn't realize the talking was over the second I walked back to our trailer and started making calls. The accounts. The lease. The lawyer who happens to be my cousin. So go ahead, Ryan. Beg. Tell me she meant nothing. Tell me two years counts for something. I'll be the one holding the pen—and I've already decided where you sign. This time the begging is his job.

Her Heartbeat in His Chest

It was the fifth anniversary of my death, coinciding with the day Estrella Cole, Skyler Thomas's childhood friend, had her leukemia relapse. He finally remembered me because I was the only compatible bone marrow donor. "Izabella Bryant, you have one day to get to the hospital and donate your bone marrow." "Don't forget, this is what you owe Estrella!" "If you're late and something happens to her, don't blame me for cutting off your mother's medical funds." On the other end of the line, my mother, her hair as white as snow, listened quietly. After a long pause, she finally replied: "Izabella passed away five years ago, on the very day she donated her heart to you." Five years later, Skyler Thomas walked into my mother's hospital room again. She lay on the bed, pain etched across her face, and struggled to ask, "Skyler, why can't you just leave us in peace?" Skyler looked down at her with contempt. "Leave you in peace? Izabella did this to Estrella. How could I just let it go?" "I told you, as soon as Izabella donates bone marrow to Estrella, we can move on." "Is Izabella really so selfish, willing to watch Estrella suffer?" My mother's eyes widened, her voice hoarse and pained: "I've already told you over the phone!" "Izabella passed away! Five years ago!" Skyler frowned and slapped my mother across the face. "Enough!

MY HIDDEN IDENTITY OF BETRAYAL AND REVENGE

9.4

I used to believe love meant enduring. Staying. Shrinking myself so someone else could grow. I told myself it was worth it-hiding who I was, working jobs I never had to work, pretending my life was smaller than it was. I loved him. I thought that was enough. It wasn't. He chose her. My best friend looked me in the eyes and took everything I had built with him. And I remember standing there, wondering how I could feel so empty when my heart was still beating. For a long time, I blamed myself. For trusting too much. For giving too much. For not being enough. But I'm tired of carrying guilt that was never mine. I am not broken. I was betrayed. And there's a difference. I'm going back-not to beg, not to explain-but to take back the parts of myself I abandoned. My name. My power. My voice. They don't know who I really am, and that might be the only advantage I have left. Then he appears-calm, powerful, watching me like he sees the cracks I try to hide. And suddenly, revenge doesn't feel as simple as it used to. Neither does healing. This is my second chance. Not to love recklessly... but to choose myself, even if it changes everything.
