Chapter 1

Today is the Full Moon Ceremony, all members of the Wigner pack, along with the elders, have come to our mansion to celebrate together.

But I wasn’t invited, even as Leon’s Luna.

I was in the storage room with a report from the midwife in my hand.

I was pregnant with three pups.

This was supposed to be a surprise for Leon, until I heard Leon talking with his friend Demon just now.

Demon asked, “Are you sure you won’t let your Luna join this party?”

“My Luna is just a party bomber, she’ll only ruin tonight’s atmosphere.”

“I heard Lisa is back. What do you think she’ll do when she finds out you married her twin sister? But I wonder, between the twins, which one do you prefer?” Demon laughed.

“Carla is just a substitute for Lisa, you know. She will even die for me. But she’s useless, I’ll leave her soon.”

Even the money for his party came out of my pocket.

I brought in over $20 million in profits each year with my wolfsbane antidote formula.

I was the one kept this company running, and still, I wasn’t even invited to his party.

He was thinking about how to get rid of me.

I covered my mouth to stop myself from sobbing.

I pulled myself together five minutes later and left this party. I could feel that three strong heartbeats in my belly.

“My pups, mommy is sorry. I have to leave your father-wolf…”

My Luna’s Coronation Ceremony was only 5 days away.

By that time, I would have already taken my triplets away and leave him forever.

---

I was supposed to be formally introduced as Leon’s the Luna in 5 days.

He had been holding off on this for so long and it wasn’t until last month that he finally agreed to hold the ceremony for me.

I had waited for this day for ages, to become his official Luna.

But now, I finally understand why he had put it off for so long.

He still hadn’t gotten over Lisa.

Then I drove my Maserati all the way to the private dock. I wrote a letter on parchment, a note of farewell, and held a bottle of wolfsbane in my hand.

I placed a hand on my belly. I knew there were three pups growing inside me. I haven’t told anyone yet.

I had meant to tell Leon. But I didn’t expect him to care about them anymore.

I took my small yacht out to the middle of the sea. The air was cold.

Not a single boat was in sight.

My tears streamed down my cheeks and quickly soaked the fabric over my belly. I stared at it, and whispered, “My poor little ones… what should I do?”

In that moment, I suddenly felt three tiny lives move within my belly.

Impossible as it seemed, it was as if I could feel their wolf paws gently comforting me from the inside, reminding me they were always there, always with me.

I opened my eyes and my hand trembled.

The bottle of wolfsbane to slipped and fell to the floor.

What was I doing? I couldn’t die.

I wasn’t alone anymore. I had to live, for these pups.

By the time I returned to our mansion, it was nearly midnight.

Leon’s Bentley was parked in the garage, so I knew he was back from the party.

I wiped my eyes and walked inside.

“Carla, why are you back so late? Where were you?” Leon asked. He stepped toward me with what seemed like genuine concern for me.

“I thought you had come home early to prepare my midnight snack. Haven’t you made it yet?”

I looked at him and said, “Didn’t you already eat at the party?”

He was a bit shocked. “Oh, right. Also, Lisa’s back in town.”

Lisa.

My twin sister.

She had always been our parents’ pride, their favorite pup.

I, on the other hand, had always been seen as a useless Omega. Our family had a bloodline of Warriors, but I was the only Omega, a “shame to the bloodline” as my parents used to whisper behind my back.

They had refused to pay for me to attend the any good academy, then secretly sent me to a “werewolf orphanage”.

It was actually a boarding school full of pups that no one wanted.

They never contacted me again for years.

“Carla?” Leon’s voice pulled me back. “Did you hear me?”

“Yes,” I said.

“Lisa has invited us to her party. She is working as a researcher at the Werewolf Academy now. She is so kind, trying to fix your relationship with your family. Why can’t you be more like her?”

I said nothing.

What’s the point?

“Are you going to the party or not?”

I nodded. “I’ll go.”

Leon looked satisfied with my answer. He leaned in to kiss me.

I turned my head and his lips fell on my cheek.

I already felt sick. I pushed him away and said, “I’m tired. I’m going to bed.”

Leon was known as the strongest Hunter in the pack, a true Alpha leader. He was also known as the founder of our healing business.

I have been his Luna for three years.

Gradually, we grew apart. I always hoped that carrying his three pups might change his attitude toward me.

But all of this is meaningless. He meant nothing to me.

I looked at the invitations posted in the pack announcement. I was excited about it.

I had even set a reminder on my phone to mark that important day, the day I would become his official Luna.

Until today, the reminder became a countdown to the day I would be done with Leon.

I would leave him, taking the triplets with me.

As I turned to leave, Leon wrapped his arms around me from behind. His chest pressed against my back. I felt a warm and familiar scent.

“Don’t be so selfish! Everyone around you loves you, but you’re always so self-centered. You need to change… be more like Lisa.”
