Not Your Luna Anymore, Alpha Caleb!

Clara’s POVI sat quietly in the bed, watching the doctors and nurses work around me.“Luna, I’ve already informed Alpha of the good news. He should be here soon!” said Dr. Damian, placing the blood pressure cuff on my arm. He looked genuinely happy, but for Caleb, we will see. Just remembering what he said and did here before made bile rise in my throat. But I couldn’t rush. I had no wolf, no strength, no allies. After all those wars, I had become the rogues’ sworn enemy. If I left without a plan, they would hunt me and my puppies down.I needed time—to plan, to take my pups, to leave. I needed a pack that would accept us, a small house, and money. A familiar scent drifted closer. Caleb. My pulse quickened, but I forced panic into my voice. “Damian,” I gasped, fumbling blindly, “Why can’t I see? What’s wrong with my eyes?”Caleb froze in the doorway, that same worried look plastered on his face. He crossed the room quickly and cupped my face with shaking hands.“Clara… my Luna. You

Clara’s POVWhen the door closed behind him, the house finally breathed again. For a second, I could almost breathe too.I’d already decided to leave—betrayal had made the choice for me—but it didn’t make it easier to stand there, watching them touch each other like I didn’t exist. Every touch and every whisper reminded me of the sounds I used to make—the same ones she was making now. How ridiculous.My room even smelled like them.I looked around. Pale wallpaper. Wooden floors. Curtains printed with tiny leaves. Everything here was mine once. Five years ago, it was bright and warm, but now it looked faded and tired, like me.The bed was a mess. Of course it was. My mate’s mistress had been lying right there ten minutes ago.I cannot help but wonder how many times they had done it here, in this bed, on top of the vows we made?My photos on the nightstand were gone too. In their place stood a single frame of Frost and Caleb. They were wearing pack academy uniforms, standing close, and

Clara’s POVWhen I woke up the next morning, Caleb was already gone. I washed up and started doing what I’d been doing for days—walking laps around my room, holding on to the bed and the walls, inch by inch. Caleb kept using “you need rest” as the excuse to keep me away from my children. He kept them hidden downstairs. So I had to get better. Fast.Thank goddess the practice was working. I could almost walk on my own now.Caleb didn’t come back for lunch. He mindlinked me around noon, told me he had a meeting with the ranked members and couldn’t eat with me. But I knew exactly where he was. Frost wasn’t even trying to hide her laugh in the background.I pushed her sharp, sugary voice out of my head and opened my computer. I searched for rental listings in other packs, flipping through page after page, imagining a future far away from this place.Then I called the maids and asked them to find gardeners to remove every single yellow tulip in this pack and replace them with roses—my flo

Clara’s POVCaleb’s hand froze around his phone. He turned his head toward me, and I pretended I didn’t notice a thing.He muttered, voice low and muffled, “We’ll talk later,” and set the phone down.I felt the tension rolling off him like cold air.“Who was it?” I asked.“Beta Logan. Pack business. I’ll deal with it tomorrow.” His voice was low, tired in a way he tried to hide. “Time to sleep.”I nodded and lay back down, closing my eyes. I could feel him next to me, but he stayed stiff. Still. Like he didn’t want to move a single inch.About an hour later, the sheets finally rustled.He sat up slowly, careful, trying not to wake me.I heard him reach for his phone, then footsteps rang. He tiptoed out into the hallway, the door creaking open.He spoke so softly, like he thought no one could hear him. But he forgot I was the strongest Luna wolf, even if I lost contact with Lyra now, I could hear everything.“I’m coming now babe.”The door closed, and I stared into the darkness wide aw

Clara‘s POVFrost’s mask almost shattered. Harper looked at me like she was seeing a different person, then suddenly broke into a wide smile. She was genuinely happy for me. For who I had become.I stepped into the hallway and maintained my voice calm and steady, “I’ll be back soon to resume training the warriors. If you’ve let your claws and fangs dull, I suggest you start working on them now. I can accept weakness, but I won’t accept any laziness.”I paused, then added, “Of course, if you don’t trust me or my wolf, I’ll suggest Alpha Caleb put together a new unit trained by… Maid Frost.”Frost clenched her jaw until her teeth nearly cracked. I didn’t look down on any job or bloodline. I only wanted her to remember what she used to be before she crawled her way on my mate’s bed.I was done wasting my breath on them. I turned and walked into my office.This space was mine. I had designed it, renovated it, built it to be exactly what I needed. And inside one of the wall panels, tucked
