Ethan's POV

"Alpha, the media is all here."

My Beta stood at my office door, schedule in hand.

I looked up, out past the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The pack territory was a sea of ribbons and flowers. Today was the day we would announce the new Luna.

"The media?" I frowned. "When did I say anything about inviting the media?"

My Beta wouldn't meet my eyes. "Lilith's orders, Alpha. She said an event this grand deserved a world stage."

A headache started pounding behind my eyes.

"What else did she decide?"

"Also... representatives from all the vassal packs are here. The Silver Moons, the Darkfangs..." he said carefully. "This is ten times the size of what we planned."

Dammit.

This was never the plan.

All I wanted was to handle this quietly. Give Leo a name. Get Seraphina back.

But Lilith, she'd turned it into a goddamn circus.

"Alpha?" my Beta asked. "Should I try to downsize?"

"Forget it." I waved him off. "It's already done."

Just then, the office door swung open.

    Seraphina's POVEthan stood there, stunned, staring at my trembling daughter.He reached out a hand but didn't dare come closer."Lydia..." his voice was broken. "Daddy didn't mean to...""She is not your daughter," I said, handing Lydia to Julian. "She is just a pup you tried to kill."Julian gently picked Lydia up, stroking her back."It's okay, little princess," he murmured. "The bad man can't hurt you."I stood up and walked toward Ethan.He looked at me with a flicker of hope, thinking I was about to forgive him.The sharp crack of my palm against his cheek echoed in the stunned silence. He stumbled, a red handprint blooming on his pale skin."That," I hissed, my voice shaking with a rage so cold it burned, "was for Marcus."He clutched his face, staring at me in disbelief."Sera...""And this one," I slapped him again, "is for Lydia."He stumbled back, a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth."There is nothing left between us, Ethan. Nothing but a graveyard," my voice was f

    Seraphina's POVI turned. At the edge of the square stood a familiar figure.Ethan.He was a wraith in a suit too large for his skeletal frame. His haunted eyes were bloodshot pits of obsession, fixed only on me. The powerful Alpha I once knew was gone, replaced by this... ghost."Sera..." he walked toward me, his voice trembling. "Please, don't do this."Julian immediately stepped in front of me, blocking his path."Ethan Blackwood," Julian's voice was ice. "You are not invited.""I'm not here for you." Ethan's eyes were locked on me, ignoring Julian completely. "Sera, I have to talk to you.""We have nothing to talk about," my voice was flat."Yes, we do!" He suddenly fell to his knees. "I know I was wrong! I know it was all my fault!"The guests began to whisper, but my face remained a mask."Sera, please!" He scrambled toward me on his knees, a fallen king begging in the dirt. "It was a lie! All of it! I never stopped loving you! Not for a second!""Get up," my voice was flat, devo

    Seraphina's POVThree months later.I stood in the rose garden of Julian's estate, watching Lydia chase butterflies.She was laughing, the fear gone from her face."Mommy, look!" She ran over, holding up a red rose. "Daddy Julian said this is for you."Daddy Julian.She called him that so naturally now."Thank you, sweetie." I took the rose. "Go find your dad. I have some work to do.""Okay!" She skipped away.I went back to the study and opened my laptop.A smile, sharp and cold as a shard of ice, touched my lips.I sent a single mind-link to the elders of my bloodline: Sell. Everything.Ten minutes later, I got a reply: As you wish, Luna.Julian was helping, too. His business network spanned the globe.Ethan's empire was crumbling, piece by piece.Just like he had once destroyed my family."What are you busy with?" Julian asked, walking in."Watching a show." I turned the screen to him. "Blackwood Enterprises dropped another 15% today.""They won't last much longer," Julian said, sit

    Seraphina's POV"Mommy!"A small figure darted out from behind a door and threw herself into my arms.Lydia.My daughter.She was alive."I'm so sorry, my sweet girl," I sobbed, rocking her fragile body in my arms. "Mommy is so sorry. I should have protected you.""Don't cry, Mommy." She wiped my tears with her small hands. "I'm okay.""But we're together now," she said with a pup's innocence. "Uncle Julian said we'll be safe from now on."Uncle Julian?I looked up and saw Julian leaning against the doorframe, a gentle smile on his face."She's not hurt?" I asked."Just some scrapes and bruises," Julian said, walking over and crouching beside us. "A werewolf's healing is strong. She recovered well.""Thank you," I looked at him. "If it wasn't for you...""Don't thank me," he said, stroking Lydia's hair. "It's what I should have done."Lydia seemed so comfortable with Julian, not scared at all.As if he had always been her father."Uncle Julian bought me lots of toys!" Lydia said excite

    Ethan's POV"Hahaha..." A wild laugh burst from my lips. "Lilith, you know what?"She stared at me, her eyes wide, as if I were a madman."You know nothing," I laughed, a broken, jagged sound. "You're a creature of ambition. You could never understand the pull of a fated soul. It's a fire in the blood. A law of nature.""What?""You don't know the feeling," I kept laughing. "That indescribable connection when two fated souls truly bond.""You're insane...""Insane? Maybe." I wiped away a tear. "But I know Seraphina will forgive me.""What?" Lilith couldn't believe it."Because it's true love," my smile turned gentle. "Not the shallow possessiveness you understand.""You killed her pup!" Lilith shrieked. "You pushed her daughter off a cliff with your own hands! How could she ever forgive you?""She will," I said, the certainty in my voice absolute. "Because the Goddess bound our souls long before we were born. She doesn't have a choice. I am her choice.""Hahahaha..." Lilith burst into

    Ethan's POV"Take her down," I ordered again.The guards moved in, grabbing Lilith by the arms."No! Ethan!" She fought them with all her might. "The baby in my belly is innocent!""Innocent?" I scoffed. "So was Marcus.""That's different! This is your blood!"I stopped and turned to look at her."Lilith, let me make one thing clear.""What truth?""There is only one woman in this world worthy of carrying my heir," my voice was deathly calm. "Only one woman worthy of the title Luna. And it was never you.""But I'm already pregnant...""So what?" I waved my hand. "Take her away."The guards dragged her toward the basement."Ethan!" Her screams echoed down the hall. "You'll regret this!"The door to the pure silver cell slammed shut.I stood in front of the monitor, watching.Lilith pounded on the silver walls, her palms quickly burning."Let me out!" she cried. "I'm going to die in here!"Pure silver is poison to a werewolf.Prolonged contact leads to organ failure.Especially for a pre
