Back then, to form an alliance with the Moon-shadow Pack, Asher had indeed been incredibly attentive to me.

He brought the plumpest prey, drove away beasts encroaching on our territory, and even when the Moon-shadow Pack faced a small beast tide, he ignored the Silver-pine elders' objections and personally led a team to support us.

Many times, I tried to stop thinking of Lucas's name. I thought I could finally bury that distant first love for good.

Maybe I should cherish this second chance, for my pack, and for myself. If I missed this, perhaps I really would end up alone in the Moon-shadow Pack.

But I never felt that deep, soul-stirring connection with Asher, this hot-headed young Alpha.

My Moon-shadow Pack needed allies, but what I truly longed for was a real mate.

The serious kind, with mating as the goal.

So one day, when he appeared at the edge of our territory with prey again, I asked him:

"Alpha Asher, are you truly seeking an alliance with my Moon-shadow Pack, or just trying to

    "From now on, when you see her, be respectful, keep your distance. Otherwise, I don't mind showing the Silver-pine Pack what true Alpha rage looks like."Asher's eyes were bloodshot. He glared at Lucas, teeth clenched, for a full minute.Suddenly, he clutched his head with both hands and started wailing like an injured pup again.Should I try to comfort him a bit? I twitched my lips, really not knowing what to say.So I looked at Lucas for help. "Him…""What do we do?"Without a word, Lucas grabbed one of Asher's hind legs and started dragging him out of the cabin."My Luna and I just mated at the Moon Vow Stone this morning. We're in the middle of our honeymoon. What are you doing hanging around here like an eyesore? Get lost!""Go home, send your guests away, and try to squash that ridiculous scandal of yours. Explain things to your father and elders, and tell them I'll personally 'visit' the Silver-pine Pack in a few days to discuss a new 'alliance.'"Asher's crying grew more pathet

    I trusted him.A young Alpha who, despite not being a good climber, had risked his life multiple times to scale the snowy peaks for me, to pick the once-a-century Moon-shadow Flower.He used the petals of those Moon-shadow Flowers to soak in spring water, to heal my wounds, saying it was a protective gift for me.He deserved my complete trust.I knew he was from the Blackstone Pack, a powerful Alpha family.But I didn't know how deeply entrenched his family's power was, or how unyielding his mother's will.Until one day, while hunting alone, I was taken by several elite Blackstone warriors into a heavily guarded cave.Inside sat an imposing older she-wolf – Lucas's mother, the former Luna of the Blackstone Pack.After making her point, she gestured for her subordinates to push forward a pile of precious furs and rare herbs.I was so ashamed, I didn't even have the courage to look up at her, but I wouldn't take these things.So I gently shook my head.I heard a faint, mocking scoff from

    The two Alphas' gazes clashed violently in mid-air, and Lucas's face grew even colder, more serious.I spoke from behind him, my voice firm, "Asher, I agreed to your proposal the night before the ceremony, but that doesn't mean I still agree to mate with you today.""I'm sorry. Between us, it was over when you made that decision last night. I won't marry you."Hearing my decisive words, Asher's gaze shifted from me to Lucas, and he squeezed out, word by word, from between his teeth:"Did you… did you mark her last night?"Lucas replied coolly, with a hint of a challenge, "What do you think?"Before I could react, Asher threw a punch.Lucas stumbled, a trickle of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth."You dare touch my Luna! I'll kill you, you Blackstone mutt—"Lucas shielded me, steadied himself, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes, and swung his own fist at Asher's face without hesitation.Asher flew backward, crashing into the weapons rack in the corner.Lucas turned and pulled a

    Before the Moon Vow Stone, the ancient ritual proceeded quickly and solemnly, led by Lucas.He pulled a moonstone insignia, unique to the Moon-shadow Pack, from my leather pouch.That’s what he’d been looking for before we left. Checking if my token was still there.We were the only pair mating at the Moon Vow Stone today.Neither of us had slept, and exhaustion rimmed our eyes.But in the light of the Moon Vow Stone, our figures merged, our faces beaming with an unstoppable joy and satisfaction.We were mating willingly, absolutely, without a doubt.Lucas sliced his palm with a sharp claw, smearing his blood on the Moon Vow Stone, then gripped my hand tightly, guiding me to do the same.Our blood mixed on the ancient stone, glowing faintly.His deep, powerful vow echoed through the woods, reaching the Moon Goddess's ears."I, Lucas Blackstone, vow here to take Ella Moon-shadow as my only mate, my Luna. For all my life, as the Moon Goddess is my witness!"He turned to me, his eyes fill

    A passionate kiss landed on my lips.He pulled me up. "Ella, come with me somewhere.""Where to?""You'll see when we get there."I shook my head and flopped back onto the fur-covered bed. "No, some other day. I'm too tired, my bones feel like jelly…"His tone was firm, leaving no room for argument. "No, today. Right now!"The Alpha command vibrated through me again."If you can't move, that's fine. I'll carry you, or I'll give you a piggyback."As he spoke, he gently started fastening my underwear, his hot palms caressing me as he slipped another garment over my head.But I had no interest in any of this.We… we'd been at it all night…"Lucas… don't get dressed yet.""At least… at least let me wash up…"He seemed impatient, his intense possessiveness almost swallowing me whole."It's fine, they won't smell it. We'll wash when we get back. We don't need any of this old stuff; I'll buy you new things."And just like that, after a wild night tangled in the moonlight, disheveled and cover
