This scene, I had already witnessed in my previous life.

Twelve years ago, his brother Ryan, the former Alpha, had his heart pierced by a silver arrow during the Blood Valley battle against the Rogue wolves.

On his deathbed, he entrusted his mate Sarah and their two children to Garrett.

After losing our Alpha, our Silver Claw Pack endured the most difficult time in our history.

From that day forward, our two families lived together in the abandoned low-ranking den.

At first, when Garrett returned from his monthly hunts, he would divide the money and fresh game equally between us.

Though life was tight, our two families coexisted harmoniously.

I always respected that Ryan had died for the pack, and whenever I hunted food myself, I would share much of it with Sarah and her children.

Until five years ago, when Garrett received recognition from the pack council and officially succeeded as Alpha of the Silver Claw Pack, allowing him to move his family into Moonhaven Sanctuary.

At the time, he discussed with me that it was too dangerous for Sarah, an Omega without fighting abilities, to remain in the low-ranking territory, especially as she was the former Luna and targeted by Rogue wolves.

Unlike me, she didn't possess strong combat skills, so he thought to take her away first.

After Garrett settled the pack affairs and once Sarah's family was stable there, he would bring me and our cubs over.

I agreed to this plan.

I never expected that along with Sarah would go all of Garrett's money and hunting prizes.

Every month, Garrett would send me letters saying he missed me, loved me, missed our cubs, but he never sent any allowance or supplies back.

I mentioned this issue in my letters to him.

He acted as if he hadn't seen it, offering no response, only repeatedly cautioning that he had just inherited the position of Pack Alpha. He had to lead by example, facing countless dangers, and Garrett wouldn't allow us to seek him out.

In my previous life, I thought he was busy defending the pack and had no extra energy, so after bringing it up twice, I didn't want to trouble him further.

I was confused by Garrett's excuses, believing that as Luna I absolutely couldn't create problems for the Alpha.

Garrett was the pack Alpha, a great warrior, and each of his decisions was for the glory of the Pack. I couldn't interfere with Alpha's military and political duties over personal matters.

My children's education also prioritized their father's responsibility as Alpha.

When Rogue wolves invaded and resources became scarce, I would rather hunt at the pack's outer perimeter than sell the engagement ring he gave me when he marked me.

Because of my stubbornness, my two cubs froze to death, starved to death, and eventually even their bodies were devoured by Rogue wolves.

And Garrett's first words upon returning were that he wanted to break our bond. He said Sarah had been helpful in the camp handling pack affairs, contributing greatly to the pack.

Also, letting her leave Moonhaven Sanctuary would be too dangerous; she needed the Luna status to protect herself and her cubs.
