“Woo hoo! We really hit the jackpot on this one.”

“Yeah, seems to… some real fancy princess. We could make thousands off… pawning these pieces.”

“Quiet you dumb fucks! Do not wake her up. I’d rather… as easy and fast… possible.”

My eyes burned as I tried to open them but failed. I could hear voices around me. I felt something graze my wrist and tried to bat it away but I could barely move. The ground felt wet and cold and hard under me. The ground? Why was I on the ground? My head hurt like crazy, and I felt sore all over. What the hell was wrong with me?

I focused what little strength i had on trying to open my eyes, and after straining for some seconds, it worked. I slowly opened my eyes, grimacing as my head ached. The first thing I saw were trees above me. Trees… was I outside? Why would I be outside? It seemed like it was the early hours of the morning.

“Shhh.”

I gasped when I heard that. That’s right… the voices had woken me up. Voices… voices meant people. Was I laying outsid

  • Alpha’s Betrayal: The rejected Luna’s Secret   CHAPTER 28

    A week later, I stood in front of the mirror as Anna adjusted the silver-lined shoulder cape draped over my ceremonial dress. It was the same one Catherine had worn during her own Luna crowning— It was a beautiful deep red dress with silver jewels adorning it.“You look like a Queen,” Anna whispered.I didn’t feel like one.When I finally stepped out and saw the great hall bathed in silver light, lined with wolves from all corners of the territory, my breath caught. Sebastian stood already at the center of the circle, dressed in ceremonial black. He turned slowly as I approached, and for a moment, everything fell away— every wound and every betrayal.The air between us sparked.My wolf surged inside me, tail high, wnd whimpering with hope.‘He’s still ours,’ she whispered again.And I hated how much I wanted to believe her.I forced myself to stay focused and the silence in the hall felt almost like a living thing.It crawled down the back of my neck and made the hairs on my arms ris

    The drive back felt longer than it should have. Maybe it was the weight in my chest, or the way the air shifted the closer we got to Silverback territory. I could feel the pull of the pack bond again— a low hum beneath my skin, like the land itself remembered me.And the mate bond… the severed bond was making my chest start to hurt again the closer I got to Sebastian.I kept my eyes on my hands. My fingers rested protectively over my bump as the babies stirred softly inside me. My children… they were the only thing that mattered now.Catherine sat next to me in silence. She didn’t press. I was grateful for that. I didn’t think I could speak without something breaking loose in my throat.When we passed the outer gates, the guards looked stunned. Their eyes flickered between me and Catherine like they couldn’t believe I was really here.One of them bowed deeply. “Welcome home, Luna.”My stomach clenched at the word.Home.Was it still that?I said nothing as Catherine thanked them.The

    CHAPTER 26I hadn’t slept since Sebastian left. I laid in the room I had grown up in, staring at the ceiling, counting the cracks that spread from the wooden beams like veins. My childhood bed felt too small now, like it couldn’t contain the weight of everything pressing down on my chest — the grief, confusion, anger, and above all, exhaustion.The wind howled softly through the old maple tree just outside the window. The room smelled faintly of old lilac and rosemary— my mother’s favorite potpourri— and it grounded me, even though my heart was still a battlefield.My hands instinctively curled over my swollen stomach, where my babies stirred quietly. Their presence was the only calm in the chaos, a pulsing reminder of why I was even here. Why I hadn’t gone back with Sebastian.I was so deep in thought and the knock on the door was so soft I almost thought I imagined it.“Alora?” came a voice, familiar and gentle, yet lined with tension. “May I come in?”I froze. That voice… It was C

    Sebastian straightened up, trying to maintain his composure. "I’m here to take you home, Alora. It’s been long enough. The babies… they need to be in a stable environment. You haven’t even been to your checkups in a while."“Oh, so now you care about that?” I crossed my arms, glaring at Sebastian. "I’m not going anywhere with you. I’ve told you already. I’m staying here."My father looked between the two of us, his eyes narrowing. "What is this nonsense, Alora? Why are you refusing to go home?""I’m staying here because I want to, Dad. I need space. And if you also don’t want me here, then all you have to do is say the word. Sebastian has been nothing but trouble since he’s come into our lives. And why are you taking his side all of a sudden? Aren’t you supposed to be mad at him?"My father sighed. “I’m only thinking of what’s best for you, Alora. And that means putting our differences aside if that’s what it’ll take.”Sebastian's face tightened. "I came here to check on my wife and

    "Get me the seedlings for the daisies, I tilled the soil for them yesterday.""Alright ma'am.""And don't take too long Anna, I'd like to be done with this so I can go up and wash myself. I smell like a farmer." I said and Anna chuckled slowly as I walked into the house to go get me the seedlings I needed for my garden.Not long, I heard some rustling behind me and I smiled, she really didn't waste much time."That was fast." I laughed lightly as I turned to tease her but as I saw who it was my smile dropped.The man from hell, Sebastian."Hi." he greeted as he strutted towards me, hands in his pockets."Hi." All the excitement I was sharing with Anna was suddenly gone and had vanished into thin air, my tone was clipped and my reply as curt as possible."You look busy." he said as he approached me."I am busy." I replied him and tried to stand up from the floor, an action my small baby bump was preventing me from doing easily.Sebastian set out his hand for me to take as an anchor in

    I sat with Anna in my room later that day. I brought out the potion and showed it to her.She gasped and collected it from my hands. “You found it.”“I did…” I smiled softly. “You don’t look happy about it though. Why is that?”I smiled at how observant Anna was. “I know that it’s what I wanted. But now that I have it, I’m not so sure anymore.”Anna nodded in understanding. “You love him.”“I do…” I said, my voice breaking. I sniffled and wiped a stray tear to stop it from falling. “And anyway, I couldn’t use it even if I wanted to. It would affect the babies. I have to make a choice.”“You’re not going to…”“Of course not.” I replied, knowing exactly what she was hinting at. “I’ll keep it safe. At least until the babies are here. And then I’ll figure out what to do then.”Anna nodded. “Okay.”I stood up from the bed and hid the potion in one of my bottom drawers. It would be safe there. Anna left and I was left alone again with my thoughts. I had never been so unsure all my life. I
