Astrid's POV

"Are you sure you really want to go to the Moon Guard Pack?" Sten fretted over me. "I know you're doing this for the sake of the pack. Everyone here will forever be in your debt."

I nodded. "I've already made up my mind."

He lowered his head and let out a sigh. "The members of the Moon Guard Pack will be here tonight. The journey to the snowy mountains is long and grueling, so once you leave, there's no turning back. If you've already made up your mind, then today, the two of us—"

Sten was about to have a proper heart-to-heart with me when an urgent message suddenly came from the pack, requiring his presence. He hastily bade me farewell and rushed off to deal with the matter.

…

I was packing my belongings at home when someone suddenly banged on the door. "Astrid, what exactly did you say to Alpha Sten? Why's Maeve on the list to go to the Moon Guard Pack this time?"

I walked over and answered the door. The moment I looked outside, I found Dorian, Kieran, and Ronan standing beside Maeve, much like the way they once stood beside me.

I was a little caught off guard. "Are you saying Maeve is the one going to the Moon Guard Pack this time?"

"Drop the act already! You're the only person in this pack who could convince Sten to handpick someone for the marriage alliance with the Moon Guard Pack. You're his sister, and you've always hated Maeve. Who else could it be if not you?" Dorian shot daggers at me.

"Weren't we supposed to draw lots tonight to decide who goes? How do you already know she's going to the Moon Guard Pack?"

Kieran looked somewhat disappointed in me. "I've never said anything when you threw your immature tantrums, but this time, you've truly gone too far."

"Astrid, hurry up and tell your brother that the whole thing about Maeve going to the Moon Guard Pack is just a joke." Ronan frowned. "If you can't change his mind, I'll make sure you regret this!"

My heart missed a beat. I looked at the three of them as if I had never known them before.

All I could see now were monsters. How could they bear zero resemblance to the companions I grew up with?

I shifted my attention to Maeve. Sensing my gaze, she looked away, her eyes darting around, but it lasted only for a fleeting moment.

I had a pretty good idea of what was going on.

"So what if it was me? I'm my brother's only sister. I'm the most powerful woman in this pack." I smiled. "I want to send the person I hate to a place where she won't be able to survive. So what if you have a problem with me? What can any of you do about it?"

"Astrid…" Dorian's expression darkened. "Even though you're the Alpha's younger sister, he's still the Alpha of the pack. He won't let you get your way."

"In that case, why don't you wait until tonight and see if she's still around?"

The three of them eventually left with Maeve. There was nothing they could do about me.

I took a deep breath and picked up my luggage.

Sten had been watching me from the shadows the entire time. He was observing me.

He'd wanted to see if I could hold my own earlier. If I couldn't, he would've simply denied my request to leave the pack.

I looked at him. "Sten, let the Moon Guard Pack members know that they don't need to come here anymore. I'll meet up with them."

Sten's eyes gradually misted over. "Why are you so set on leaving?"

"Our pack has never been particularly strong when it comes to combat, but the Moon Guard Pack is arguably the strongest pack in terms of military strength. I want to go there and learn from them so that I can help our pack grow stronger in the future."

Sten fell silent for a long while. In the end, he reached out and gently ruffled my hair. "None of that matters to me. All I care about is your safety."

"I know."

Sten saw me off at the station as I boarded the train bound for the pack's border.

After saying goodbye to Sten, I headed off toward the Moon Guard Pack.

A group from the Moon Guard Pack was already waiting for me at the border.

  • My Fated Mate Isn't One of Them   Chapter 8

    Astrid's POVThe sky was only just beginning to lighten when Varg told me he needed to step out for a bit. "Where are you going when you don't even know your way around here?" "I'm going to see your brother to take care of some business. Come find me at your brother's place at noon." He didn't elaborate, and I didn't press further. …When morning came, I took my pups to see Sten. He played with them and kept trying to stuff money into their pockets. I scanned the area. "Varg told me this morning that he was coming to see you. Where is he?" "He just went out to take care of something," Sten answered.Varg returned around noon. He carried one of our pups in each arm as he walked through the door and handed me a box. "I heard that those three friends of yours have been getting injured a lot in the last few years. I heard they've been searching for specific medicine to treat external wounds. I know where to find it, so I went and gathered some. Consider it my way of thanki

  • My Fated Mate Isn't One of Them   Chapter 7

    Astrid's POVThree years later, on the way back to the White River Pack, my mate, Varg Lunares, caressed my cheek. "Do you want me to come with you to see your brother?" "No, I'm good. I haven't seen my brother in three years. I'd like to see him on my own first." I smiled. "Wait for me for a little bit. I'll introduce you to Sten tomorrow."He pulled me into his arms, holding me so tightly that it was as if he was afraid I would run away. "I can't go a single day without you. It hurts too much."I nodded and rose on my tiptoes to kiss him. Then I hugged him and laughed. "It's just for today."When I walked back into the pack, a lot of people didn't recognize me. Someone thought I was a stranger. After staring at me for a long while, one of them finally asked uncertainly, "Astrid?"I nodded.Murmurs immediately broke out behind me. "From the looks of it, Astrid's been doing pretty well these past three years." "She seems like a completely different person now. She's becom

  • My Fated Mate Isn't One of Them   Chapter 6

    Third-Person POVDorian ran over to Sten's office, but the door was locked. Someone told him that Sten had gone to the square early that morning. Even though the announcement said no one had to come to the square, it had come too late. The square was brimming with people, all anxiously demanding answers. "Who volunteered?"The young she-wolves huddled together. They looked a little nervous, as if they couldn't believe someone had actually gone to the Moon Guard Pack in their place. With their hands pressed against their chests, they whispered prayers toward the north. Dorian, Kieran, and Ronan elbowed through the sea of bodies, their expressions tense with anxiety. They still couldn't bring themselves to believe it. Their eyes darted around, scanning all the faces in the crowd, but they still couldn't find her. Ronan completely panicked. He staggered. "Have you seen Astrid?" he asked frantically, grabbing the wolf beside him. The wolf was initially perplexed, and the bloods

  • My Fated Mate Isn't One of Them   Chapter 5

    Third-Person POVDorian, Kieran, and Ronan had only taken a few steps when Ronan ground to a halt, tugging at his hair in frustration. "Weren't we a little too harsh on Astrid? What if she's genuinely mad at us?"No one answered him. Dorian stood beside them, the scene from moments ago replaying in his mind on a loop. Astrid had been far too calm. It was nothing like the way she used to be. It was almost as if she had already given up on them. That was far more unsettling than all the arguments they'd had before. Kieran broke the silence. "I think we took things way too far this time. She's completely in the dark, yet we treated her like that... I can't even remember the last time I saw her genuinely smile." Those words pricked at Ronan like a needle. In an instant, he exploded. "This is all your fault! I told you from the very beginning that she's sensitive and spoiled. "What are we going to do if we upset her and she never talks to us again? Both of you just had to make

  • My Fated Mate Isn't One of Them   Chapter 3

    Astrid's POVI was about to reach home when I spotted Kieran outside my front door. "Kieran, what are you doing here?" He smiled at me. "I heard you've been feeling down these past few days, so I came to keep you company."I nodded. "In that case, come in."I led him inside and brewed him a pot of coffee. He took it from me. "Did Dorian and Ronan give you a hard time?""Not really. They have their reasons." I poured myself a cup of coffee."Look at you, all grown up now; you're starting to see things from other people's perspectives. Yet, here I am, still treating you like a pup." His smile was still gentle as usual. "To be honest, there's something I came here to talk to you about." "I'm listening." I had a hunch about what it was. "You're the Alpha's only sister, so you can pretty much have your pick of the pack's warriors. Remember how you used to tell us that none of the three of us were good enough for you and that you were going to find a mate a hundred times better
