The System, hearing Seren’s lament, tried to console her.[Well… at least you’re an overpowered Omega.]Seren snorted. “Yeah, overpowered and overworked. I feel like my brain’s about to fry.”She sighed, dragging herself to the bathroom and took a look at herself on the bathroom mirror. The faint silver sheen still glimmered in her hair, her skin almost luminous. Her reflection looked like someone halfway between divine and wolf, halfway between Selune and chaos.Her lips twisted. “Great. Just great. I’m becoming a walking chandelier.”She splashed her face, bathed quickly, and returned to her room, her movements sluggish but deliberate. Sitting before the vanity, she began applying lotion, muttering, “Father gave me the green light to reject the Luna position, so I’m going to do just that. First, I need to freshen up.”The System pinged.[Confidence detected: 32%. Recommended action: confrontation.][New Quest Available: Reject the Alpha.][Difficulty: Insane.][Reward: +10 Self-Wil

Chapter 9Seren withdrew her gaze from the window and looked towards her father, who was still lost in thought.She let him immerse himself in his silence as she sank into hers.Was she going to leave for the Academy right after the Luna Induction?Honestly, she would rather run away to school than marry that Alpha.Still, fear pricked at her ribs.How was she supposed to purge the Burndels from Crescent Park?Who would even believe her if she told them that the Moon Goddess herself had told her to expel the priestess and Nova?And that the priestess and Nova were mother and daughter?She unconsciously turned to her father and found him watching her with a rare, gentle expression.Seren blinked, pulled from her thoughts, and muttered, “Huh?”Lord Nightwind cleared his throat, suddenly awkward, his eyes darting away.“I’m sorry for how I’ve been pressuring you to get together with the Alpha,” he said. “Like I told you, your mother always believed that you’d do something great. I… inter

The dream began the way most impossible things do — softly.Seren walked through a field of light.It wasn’t grass beneath her feet but liquid silver, rippling with every step, reflecting a sky made entirely of stars. The air shimmered as though reality itself were holding its breath. She couldn’t tell if she was walking or floating, only that everything around her hummed with quiet reverence.Then she saw her.A woman stood at the heart of the field, clothed in the glow of the moon itself. Her hair was spun silver that flowed like water, and upon her brow rested a delicate crown shaped like a crescent. Her eyes—ancient and kind and vast—seemed to hold galaxies within them.Seren froze. Her instincts screamed to kneel, to lower her gaze, but curiosity held her still.The woman smiled. “You don’t have to bow, child. You already bear enough weight upon your shoulders.”Her voice was soft and melodic, yet each word reverberated through the air like a song that had existed long before lan

The silence that followed Kael’s declaration stretched until it became something alive.The wind stirred the fallen autumn leaves, carrying with it the sharp scent of smoke and disbelief. Then, as if released from an enchantment, the crowd began to murmur — first in small, disbelieving whispers, and then in full, fevered voices.“She really—”“—is chosen by him?”“Are both of them insane or blessed?”The pack rippled with confusion. Some wolves dropped to one knee out of instinctive submission; others turned away, muttering prayers to the Moon as though to cleanse their ears of blasphemy.And still, Seren stood there — chin high, the faint metallic taste of defiance lingering on her tongue.Lord Nightwind was the first to move. His boots crunched over pine needles as he approached, his expression torn between awe and naked ambition. When he reached Kael and Seren, he bowed low, though there was nothing humble about it. His bow was a performance — a silent declaration to the watching w

Her shock simmered into fury. She shoved at his chest, not enough to move the wall of muscle and Alpha dominance, but enough to make her point. Her chin lifted, her voice slicing through the tension.“You don’t get to decide that,” she said, her words shaking only because her body still hummed from his kiss. “You don’t get to kiss me out of nowhere and stamp me like property. Alpha or not, there’s something called common courtesy between two people of no prior intimacy.”The silence between them snapped taut.Kael blinked, once, as if he’d just been told the moon was fake. Then his jaw tightened, his nostrils flaring. “Courtesy,” he repeated, as though the word were foreign in his mouth. “You think courtesy has anything to do with a bond?”“Bond?” She scoffed, though her pulse was still out of control. “I didn’t feel some magical thread tying me to your wolf. What I felt was you deciding what’s yours without asking. That’s not fate but arrogance.”[Warning: Hostility toward Alpha may

The suffocating silence stretched.Every wolf bowed beneath Kael’s dominance, the air heavy with his claim. And yet Seren could feel the weight of hundreds of eyes piercing her, branding her not as Luna, not as chosen…But as villainess.Her pulse thundered in her throat. She wanted to disappear, to crawl under the dais and wait until the Moon Goddess turned the whole scene into a bad dream but the System had other plans.Blue text burst across her vision like fireworks.[New Quest: Publicly humiliate the Heroine before dawn.][Reward: +5 Charisma, +5 Reputation as Villainess.][Failure Penalty: None.]Seren’s jaw went slack. You’ve got to be kidding me.The box blinked expectantly, smug as a cat.“Oh, of course,” she muttered under her breath. “Because I haven’t made enough enemies tonight. Let’s add ‘mock a girl who just got her heart ripped out’ to my to-do list.”[Reminder: Villainesses are unforgettable.]Her stomach churned. Across the clearing, Nova was still on her knees, her p
