The maids moved gracefully around the dining table, serving the meal with silent precision. The air was thick with unspoken tension. Once the last dish was served, the maids withdrew quietly.

The only sounds that remained were the soft clinking of utensils and the crackling of the hearth until Ethan cut into his steak, took a slow bite, and then sipped his wine before finally breaking the silence.

“Sephy, this is Arielle Mooncrest, a new member of the Shadow Fang Pack.”

“Oh, how fascinating,” Seraphina murmured, lips curling into a mocking smile. “The famed outcast of the Moon Titan Pack…the Luna who was cast aside by her own pack.”

Arielle’s fork froze mid-air. The words stung, but she didn’t let them see it. Before she could speak, Ethan’s voice cut through the air, sharp and commanding.

“You will not speak that way, Seraphina.”

For a moment, Seraphina's smile faltered. Ethan’s tone softened a bit as he turned to Arielle. “Arielle, this is Luna Seraphina of the Stormclaw Pack. Her f

    Drusilla led Arielle into the mansion in silence.The grand halls of Blackthorn Estate glowed with warm lights, but Arielle felt none of it.They had almost reached the foot of the staircase when low voices drifted from the corridor ahead.Two maids stood near the banister, their heads bent close together, unaware or uncaring that they were not alone.“So it’s true,” one whispered with thinly veiled delight. “Alpha Arnold will marry Lady Aurora tomorrow night.”The other scoffed softly. “As he should. The pack needs a real Luna, not that disgrace.”Arielle’s steps faltered.“She brought shame on Moon Titan,” the first maid continued. “Betrayed her own pack and thought she’d get away with it.”The second laughed under her breath. “No wonder they cast her out like trash. A Luna who couldn’t even keep her place.”The words struck like stones.Arielle froze at the base of the stairs, her breath catching painfully in her throat. Her fingers curled slowly at her sides as heat burned behind

    Ethan stood in front of them, His expression was unreadable, but his eyes lingered on Arielle, steady and unreadable.For a moment, silence stretched between them, broken only by the rustle of the wind.Then his voice came, low and calm.“Drusilla,” he said, not taking his eyes off Arielle, “that’s enough for today. Take Lady Arielle to her chambers. She needs to rest.”Drusilla bowed quickly. “Y–Yes, Alpha.”Arielle hesitated, her heart thudding in her chest, wanting to speak but unsure what to say. Ethan gave no further word.Drusilla gently tugged at Arielle’s sleeve. “My lady…”With one last glance toward him, Arielle turned and followed Drusilla through the lit path back toward the mansion.****“Alpha Xander, the pack grows restless, we need to stabilize them.” Celeste spoke, her voice smooth but firm. Atnold must make Aurora his Luna immediately. Arnold leaned forward, his tone respectful but laced with urgency.“Mom is right, Dad. The pack needs a stable Alpha and a Luna. We

    Arielle woke up to the soothing scents of burning wood and leather. The aroma was unfamiliar, too masculine to belong to her chamber. She knew it was not her chamber, because she couldn't perceive the familiar notes of floral and lavender that usually clung to her sheets.She lay on a vast bed of soft brown silk sheets. The faint glow of fire danced across the walls.Beside her sat an elderly woman with silver hair braided over one shoulder, eyes glowing faintly blue— Maera, Shadow Fang’s chief healer. Across the room, Leo stood near the window, arms folded, his expression unreadable but watchful.Maera smiled gently. “Glad to see you awake, my dear.”Arielle’s voice came out hoarse. “What… happened? Where am I?”“You’re safe,” Maera replied, adjusting the blanket. “The Alpha brought you here after the bond was severed. You collapsed because your wolf’s energy became unstable, a side effect of a broken mate bond.”Arielle frowned, memories crashing back. “Arnold…” she whispered.Ma

    “Did I just hear it wrong?” one of the visiting Alphas muttered, his voice cutting through the stunned silence.“Arielle… rejecting Arnold?” The Alpha of Stormclaw Pack gasped.“Oh, Moon Goddess…” whispered a third.“This is insane!” someone else exclaimed from the crowd.Alpha Xander rose abruptly from his seat, his eyes wide. “Arielle, what are you doing?”Arielle didn’t answer.Luna Celeste scoffed loudly. “I knew this girl would always turn out to be a conniving wretch!”“Celeste, that’s enough,” Xander warned, his voice low.Arnold’s composure cracked. “Arielle, do you have any idea what you’re saying?”“I know,” Arielle replied, her tone calm but cold. “And I understand it better than ever.”Gasps rippled through the room as she raised her voice.“I, Arielle Mooncrest, Luna of Moon Titan Pack, reject Alpha Arnold Ashford.”Arnold’s eyes widened. “Arielle, you’re out of your mind! The Moon Goddess brought us together—why are you rejecting our bond now?”Arielle tilted her head sl

    “Who’s there?” Aurora demanded again, eyes darting to the door. Arnold frowned, listening for a second, then he waved a dismissive hand. “It’s nothing. Probably just the maid.” Aurora wasn’t convinced. Her eyes narrowed. “I’m sure it’s something, Arnold. What if someone was watching?” He sighed, exasperated. “You worry too much.” “Just check,” she insisted, voice sharp with irritation. With a reluctant growl, Arnold got up and swung the door open. At that exact moment, Miran, one of the maids, walked past pushing her cleaning cart. Arnold exhaled through his nose and muttered, “See? It's just the maid doing her rounds. I told you it was nothing.” Aurora rolled her eyes but forced a tight smile. “Just making sure.” Arielle hid behind the pillar and pressed a trembling hand to her mouth, her heart pounding. As soon as Arnold shut the door, she turned and disappeared down the corridor. Arnold exhaled slowly, his gaze dark. Then his lips curved, matching her smile. “Where
