เข้าสู่ระบบBRIANA brilliant, breathtaking smile radiated on her face, illuminating the entire dreary council room.“Good morning, everyone,” Luna said, her voice smooth, melodic, and completely commanding the attention of every leader present. She walked in with a lethal, predatory grace, entirely ignoring my existence as she approached the table. “Please accept my sincerest apologies for my lateness. There was a slight... delay at my pack's borders.”She glided effortlessly toward the empty seat beside me, the seat Becca had just been thrown out of and sat down with the poise of a true queen.I stared at her, completely paralyzed. My wolf, who had been brooding and silent all along, suddenly stirred, whining in a painful mixture of agony and longing. Looking at her now, sitting beautifully at the head of the table where she belonged, a sickening wave of regret washed over me. I had traded a goddess for a child, and the entire room knew it.Dante didn’t even glance back at me. He completel
BRIANThe grand hall of the Alpha Summit hummed with the low, vibrating energy of the continent's most powerful wolves. Waiters in pressed suits glided through the crowd, and the scent of expensive cologne, cedar, and dominant Alpha auras filled the air. The atmosphere inside the grand council hall was thick with tension, but it wasn't the kind of respect I had anticipated.As the hosting Alpha, I sat at the head of the long mahogany table, but the greetings from the arriving Alphas felt forced and hollow. People nodded at me, but their eyes immediately drifted to Becca, who sat proudly by my side. They shot us weird, deeply disapproving looks before whispering among themselves.By my side, Becca looked stunning in a fitted gown, her hand resting delicately on my forearm. She smiled at a passing Alpha from a neighboring territory, playing the part of a perfect, graceful companion. I should have been proud. I should have felt victorious.Instead, a persistent, dull ache throbbed ri
LUNAThe door swung wider, and Brian stepped into the room. I looked at him, desperately searching the face of my mate for even a shred of the man I used to know. But there was nothing left. His eyes were cold, dead, and entirely detached.“Luna..” Becca sobbed, pointing a trembling finger at me from the floor. “She attacked me.”“Is this true?” he asked, his voice clipping the air like winter frost.A heavy, suffocating weight pressed down on my chest, but I refused to let it bow my spine. I lifted my chin, staring right back at him, my own eyes hardening to ice. “She provoked me, Brian. How could she—”“I don't care what she did,” he roared.The sound ripped from his chest with enough force to vibrate the very walls of the room. The sheer, blinding fury radiating from him overrode every ounce of restraint he possessed.He stepped directly into my space, letting his suffocating Alpha aura flare until the air grew so heavy it felt like breathing glass. He looked down at me, his
BRIAN I was in my office trying to finalize some pack’s documents before heading to the summit, when I heard the frantic footsteps of servants approaching. My head snapped up as one of them burst through the door, her face pale and eyes wide with fear. “Alpha Brian, you need to come quickly. It's the Lunas,” she stammered. My heart pounded as I hurried after her, dread settling in my stomach. When we reached the garment quarters, I saw Becca seated on the floor, with Luna standing over her, looking both shocked and defiant. Rage bubbled up inside me. “What the hell happened here?” I demanded, my voice shaking with anger. “Luna..” Becca said pointing at her. “She attacked me,” I looked at Luna, my once beloved mate, now a source of pain and betrayal. “Is this true?” I asked, my voice cold. Luna lifted up her chin, her eyes hard. “She provoked me Brian, how could she…” “I don't care what she did,” I roared, the sound ripping from my chest with enough force to vibrate the
LUNA The morning of the Alpha Summit dawned under a heavy silence that pressed against my ribs like a warning. Brian had said nothing to me. Not one word about the event, not even a curt dismissal. That silence told me everything I needed to know—he didn’t want me there. Still, I refused to cower in my chambers while another piece of my life was quietly taken from me. “Lisa,” I called softly, my voice weaker than I would have liked. “Go to the garment department and collect the dress I asked them to prepare for the summit. Tell them it’s urgent.” Lisa bowed slightly, her expression carefully neutral. “Yes, Luna.” She left, and I waited, pacing slowly despite the sharp ache still blooming in my lower belly. The faded mate mark on my neck itched beneath the high collar of my robe, a constant reminder of everything I had lost. Nearly thirty minutes passed before Lisa returned, empty-handed. I frowned. “Where’s the dress?” She shifted on her feet, avoiding my eyes. “They
BECCA The sound echoed through the hallway, and Luna stumbled back, her hand flying to her cheek. “Becca!” Brian yelled my name but I ignored him, my gaze locked on the pathetic woman in front of me. “Still don’t know your place, loser?” I spat, stepping closer. “That’s just the tip of the iceberg of what I’ll do if you dare come even an inch closer to Brian ever again. He’s mine now. I carry his mark. You’re nothing but a discarded mate who couldn’t even give him an heir. Stay in your lane before I make sure you’re thrown out of this pack for good.” Luna stumbled back, her hand flying to her reddening cheek. For a split second, shock flashed across her face, but it quickly twisted into pure, blazing anger. Her eyes glowed with her wolf rising to the surface. She wasn’t some weak, broken thing—I knew that much. She lunged forward instantly, her hand raised to strike me back. But Brian moved like lightning, and grabbed her wrist mid-swing, pulling her back firmly against his
