The smell of antiseptic and lavender filled the air.Soft light poured through the long white curtains, brushing against Celeste’s face and dragging her slowly back to consciousness. Her eyelids fluttered open, and for a moment, the ceiling above her swayed in and out of focus.Where was she?Her fingers twitched against the cool sheets. Her head felt heavy, and her throat was dry. As she blinked the blurriness away, she realized she was lying in a hospital bed, a proper one, with polished railings, clean linens, and golden sunlight spilling across a marble floor.Definitely not the Blood Moon infirmary.She tried to sit up, wincing as pain shot through her shoulder. Her body ached all over, but at least she was alive. Slowly, the memories returned: the forest, the rogues, the fight, and then… the men who had come to her rescue.Her breath caught. The men!They must have brought her here.Celeste glanced around the unfamiliar room. It was far too luxurious for a typical pack clinic. T

The mate bond wasn’t something that disappeared instantly; it bled, slow and torturous.No! he thought firmly. I can’

The day was slowly getting darker, and the forest was so silent that it made Celeste's skin crawl. She was hungry, thirsty, and tired. But she knew she had to keep going.This was her first time out of the Pack, and now she's worse as a rogue. Celeste thought of what might have happen to her. She had heard many stories of what happened to others in the forest, especially the weak and defenseless ones like her. Celeste’s feet ached, her breath coming in sharp bursts as she stumbled over roots and stones. She had no idea where she was going. She just knew she had to keep moving.A part of her still feels like going back to the Pack to beg them to stay, but no! She couldn’t go back. Not to them. Not after everything. She would rather die here in the wild. After all, there is nothing left for her. Her mate belongs to someone else now.Her gown was torn, her hair tangled with leaves, and her bare feet were bleeding. But she didn’t care. She had just reached a clearing when a low, mocking

“I, Kharl Blackthorn, Alpha of Blood Moon Pack, banish you, Celeste Storm, from this pack,” his voice rang out like a blade slicing through her chest. “I strip you of the title of Luna. You are no longer one of us.”The crowd gasps! Not out of shock but happiness. Many of them have waited for a day like this after all, they hated her. Some lowered their heads, unwilling to meet her gaze. Others smirked at her, especially Lydia, her archenemy standing a few feet away in a flowing crimson dress, looking like the Luna she was about to become.Celeste’s throat tightened, her heart bleeding .She felt her wolf cry out in her head.
