No Longer Your Luna
Lena Cole is an omega with nothing, no rank, no family name, no money. Just a sick mother, a leaking cottage at the edge of pack territory, and twelve silver coins a day from scrubbing pots in the pack's kitchen.
On the night of the Moon Ceremony, the bond reveals itself. Lena feels it. Damien Stone feels it too. She sees it in his eyes, one unguarded moment before he looks away, crosses the ceremony ground, and announces another woman as his Luna in front of the entire pack.
What Lena doesn't know is that the Moon Goddess never chose Victoria Hale.
The light was bought. The ceremony was corrupted. And Alpha Marcus Stone paid for every bit of it because he did the same thing thirty years ago to his own mate. An omega he loved. A woman he sent away. A woman who died alone.
Now his son is following the exact same path.
Lena leaves quietly. No tears. No drama. Just a letter, a bag, and a decision made at dawn.
Five years later she comes back to Blackridge.
Not as the kitchen girl who scrubbed pots for twelve silver coins in the pack's kitchen but as the woman who owns every inch of land his pack is built on.
He wants her back. She wants him to feel every single thing he made her feel.
She left as nobody.
She's coming back as his worst mistake.

Chapter: Chapter Ten— The PlanLena's Pov"Oh yes, oh God, yes—"Maya's moans came through the thin wall at two in the morning.I pulled the pillow over my head but it didn't help. The couch was right next to her bedroom. I could hear everything. The bed creaking, the man's grunts. Maya's performance, because it was a performance, I had learned that much in three weeks.By the time they finished I was wide awake.I had arrived in Portland three weeks ago with a backpack and few dollars. I had been walking the streets looking for shelter when Maya found me outside a coffee shop.She was coming out dressed for work and took one look at me and said, "You need a place to sleep?"I nodded."I know a spot," she said. "No rent. Just don't ask questions and don't get in the way."That spot was her couch.The first week was the worst.On day three a man came home with Maya. He was drunk and loud and he didn't care that I was on the couch five feet away.By the time he left I had seen more than I wanted to see.On day five a

Chapter: Chapter Nine: The LunaDamien's PovThe wedding suit fit perfectly.I stood in front of the mirror and looked at a man I didn't recognize. Dark tailored jacket. Silver cufflinks. Hair styled the way Victoria preferred. Everything was in place. Everything was exact.Everything felt hollow."You look good," Klein said from the doorway.I didn't respond. I just buttoned the jacket and kept my face composed.Two weeks. It had been two weeks since Lena walked out of the dining room. Two weeks since I had stood in my office and told myself the plan would work. That she would hate me. That the bond would fade. That eventually I would stop feeling like there was a missing piece in my chest.The bond hadn't faded.It was screaming."Damien," Klein said. He stepped closer. "We should talk about—""We shouldn't," I said. "Today is the ceremony. Klein's expression shifted but he said nothing.The ceremony grounds blazed with lantern light.Three hundred wolves had gathered in formal dress. The Elder council stood to t

Chapter: Chapter Eight— No Longer WeakLena's PovI stared at myself in the mirror.My eyes were steady. not a trace of what had happened in that dining room showing on my face. That was the thing about being invisible for so long — you learned how to keep everything locked inside where nobody could see it.I had walked out of that room with my spine straight and my face composed. I had kept it that way all the way home through the dark corridors of the pack house. Past the kitchen where Cook was finishing service. Past the servants' quarters. Out through the side door without looking back.I wasn't going to fall apart now.I sat on the edge of my bed and changed into an old sweater and jeans from three years ago. I moved with purpose. Deliberately. This wasn't panic. This was a decision I had made the moment Damien's voice cut across that dining room.That was when I knew.I was done.I packed my backpack with steady hands. Two changes of clothes. The notebook with all my calculations, two years of mapping every coin, eve

Chapter: The CalculationDamien's POV "That was unnecessary." Klein didn't wait for me to close the office door. He was already there, arms crossed, expression dark in a way I had never quite seen before. "What was unnecessary?" I said, moving to the desk. "What you said to her. To Lena." He stepped closer. "You didn't have to support Victoria like that. You could have said nothing." "Victoria was right—" "Victoria was cruel," Klein cut in. "And you know it. The girl was just standing there doing her job and Victoria humiliated her in front of all of us." He paused. "And you made it worse." I poured myself a drink. Whiskey. Too early for it but the day was already becoming one of those days where I needed it. "Klein—" "Don't," he said. "Don't tell me you had to do it. Don't tell me it was necessary. I know you. I know what you're doing." He waited until I looked at him. "You're trying to kill the bond." The glass stopped halfway to my mouth. "By making her hate you," he continued. "By showing her e

Chapter: The Luna's AssessmentLena's POV The formal dining room was quiet except for the soft clink of silverware. Just three of them tonight. Damien at the head of the table. Victoria beside him in a dress that probably cost more than everything I owned combined. Klein across from them, looking uncomfortable in the way Betas do when they're watching something they can't stop. I had been serving them for the past twenty minutes. Water. Wine. Small plates that Cook had spent all morning preparing. The kind of work that required me to be present and invisible at the same time. I was very good at being invisible. Until Victoria decided I wasn't. "More wine," she said, not looking at me. Just holding out her glass like I was furniture that could move. I came around the table with the bottle. Poured carefully. Steady hand. No spills. "Actually," Victoria said, turning to look at me for the first time. Her smile was sharp. "On second thought, send someone else. Someone who doesn't smell like the kitchen when the

Chapter: What the walls heardLena's Pov"Did you hear what happened before the ceremony last night?"I didn't look up from the pot I was scrubbing. The two women had come in from the cold store five minutes ago and hadn't stopped talking since. I didn't know their names. They didn't know mine.That was the thing about being invisible. People said everything around you.I had always considered it one of the few perks of the job. Free information."What do you mean before?" the second one said."I was delivering linens to the preparation rooms." The first one lowered her voice. Not low enough. "I heard the Beta talking to the Alpha outside the door.""About what?""The light." A pause. "It was arranged. Old Alpha Marcus paid Elder Mara's assistant to fix it on Victoria."The second one gasped. "You're serious.""Dead serious. The Moon Goddess didn't choose her. Someone chose her for her."My hands slowed in the water."Lena," Kira said."I heard," I told her."Klein kept saying the Alpha already had a fated mate,"
