The cold hard floor bit into Eleanor's skin, making her battered body shiver. But neither the cold nor the bruises on her body were enough to make her admit a crime she hadn't committed.Thomas, her husband, could keep her locked up for however long, but she would not budge until she revealed Mia's deception.If only Thomas would listen to her side of the story. They had been together for many years and married for three. How could he believe Mia when she accused Eleanor of killing his unborn child?Didn't he know her at all? If he did, he would know she was not capable of such evil. Was he so blind to his lover's schemes that he would be willing to treat her, who had been by his side since they were teens, like this?Eleanor had thought that he would be on her side. That he would try to at least look into the matter. But the moment Mia accused her of causing her miscarriage, he and everyone else in the pack believed she was guilty.They accused her of being jealous of Mia, who had bee
The next day, Eleanor was brought to the square to face trial. Everybody bayed for her blood."What a wicked Luna, to kill the pack's only heir. It was nobody's fault that she hadn't been able to fulfil her responsibility as the pack's Luna! She should have been grateful that the Alpha kept her around even after finding his true mate!"Eleanor watched numbly as the very people she had lived with all her life, the same people she had served wholeheartedly, threw all sorts of insults at her.Why did they all so easily believe Mia's accusations? Not even one of them gave her the benefit of the doubt. Was everything she had done for the pack so far not enough to earn her that at least? Just because Mia got pregnant, everyone in the pack chose to believe her!Eleanor felt as if her throat had been cut off, robbing her of her breath.Since she became Luna, she had put all her energy into making the pack stronger. She often worked late into the night, doing her best.She knew her inability to
When Eleanor came to, she was in a void that seemed like an endless canvas of white. Was this what heaven looked like?She looked down at herself. She was barefoot, wearing a white dress. She touched her chest. There was no wound. No pain.She looked around. There was nothing but white. Where was she?"Eleanor."She turned around, shocked by the sudden voice. There was a woman standing in front of her. There had been no one there a few moments ago.The woman was tall, with curly golden hair that fell past her shoulders and to the small of her back. She was the most beautiful woman Eleanor had ever seen. She seemed to radiate brilliance, and Eleanor had to squint as she looked at her.Was she an angel? Was she here to lead her to the afterlife?"Who are you?" Eleanor questioned."Selene, the Moon Goddess."Eleanor blinked. She had to be dreaming. Or she had to have died and... Right. She was dead. She was truly dead. "The Moon Goddess?" she whispered.The deity who was responsible for w
Thomas's face creased in confusion. He hadn't expected Eleanor to say no to his suggestion. She had never resisted him before and always supported his decisions unconditionally. What was wrong?He let go of Mia and approached his Luna. He took her hands and noted how she looked at him with stubborn eyes, as if nothing he could say would change her mind."Ella," he called her softly by the nickname he used with her, "I know you might think she'll take your position as Luna, but that will never happen. You are my Luna, the only she-wolf I want by my side. You don't have to be worried about that."Eleanor lowered her gaze. The way he sounded and the way he looked at her, no one would imagine that he would eventually betray her in the most cruel way.Anger, disappointment, sadness - a mix of emotions swept over her, making her nose tingle and eyes ache with unshed tears. But she gritted her teeth, telling herself she couldn't let them go this time!"Come on, Eleanor," he coaxed. "We've gro
"Harper, are you there?" Once outside, Eleanor called out for her wolf."Harper?" Eleanor called again."Yes... I'm here." Finally, Harper responded on the third call."It hasn't been easy, Eleanor, we both know what we've been through," Harper said sadly."Fortunately, the Moon Goddess has pitied our experiences and given us a chance to rewrite our lives..." Eleanor continued, picking up the conversation."But..." Harper hesitated, and Eleanor sensed something was wrong. "Harper, what's wrong?""Ah..." Harper sighed and finally said, "Thomas's betrayal has weakened me. I can't guarantee that I'll be able to appear whenever you need me. Worse still, after we break the bond with Thomas, we must find our true mate, or I will fade away forever."What?! This was shocking news. Finding a mate was a difficult task, and she hadn't found one in her previous life. "So we must speed up the process of reclaiming our pack," Eleanor said, her pace quickening. She needed to clear her head. As they e
The Darkfall PackThe Darkfall Pack was the most powerful pack in the northern region. No other pack had ever survived a confrontation with them, thanks to their formidable Alpha Henry. As a cold and domineering Alpha, only those who wished for death dared to cross his path. He trained his warriors rigorously, treating every training session as a real battle. He reminded his warriors not to have any false hopes in any war. He also gave she-wolves equal opportunities for training. Although physically, she-wolves might not be as strong as males, they possessed unparalleled judgment and focus that males lacked. With enough desire, they could defeat male wolves of the same rank.His bold approach had made his pack increasingly formidable.At the moment, the training grounds resounded with the huffing and puffing of punches, like the thundering of thousands of horses. The warriors' feet were soaked with sweat.Beta Ethan stood alongside Alpha Henry, both satisfied with the training results.
Eleanor looked at her phone in frustration. Alpha Henry had hung up on her!It pissed her off, but she wasn't surprised. After all, his reputation as cold and without compassion was not just hearsay.Her shoulders slumped. Without Alpha Henry's support, her chances of victory would be halved! She was about to dial Ethan's number again, but then she saw the text message from him."Alpha Henry will attend the Alpha meeting. I'll arrange for you to meet. Beta Ethan."Eleanor's eyes brightened. She needed to think carefully about what she would do to convince Alpha Henry to support her once they met. But before that, she needed to prepare a perfect outfit. Who could resist the tears of a sexy woman?As she dialed Sophia's number, Sophia's shed sad tears. She knew Eleanor was a strong woman who was accustomed to protecting others, which made her hesitant to call Eleanor. Sophia couldn't resist cursing Thomas again. "That heartless brute, he's destined to hit a brick wall."Eleanor smiled an
Eleanor was in her room preparing to go to bed when the door opened without a knock. Thomas walked into the room, his expression showing that he was about to start a fight.Eleanor stood from her seat at the vanity and faced him. "What do you want?"He had not shown up in their bedroom since that day he announced he would be taking Mia to the party."What's wrong with you?" he asked, giving her a disgusted look. "Why can't you just leave Mia alone? Why do you insist on causing trouble for her?"Eleanor crossed her arms over her chest and paced. So it was about what happened at the store. Of course, the rogue had gone crying to her mate and now he was here to scold her."What do you mean? What have I done?"Thomas moved to stand in her way. "Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. Mia ran into you at the store today, and you humiliated her in front of everybody."Eleanor arched an eyebrow. "I gave her the dress I'd chosen for myself because she liked it so much. How does t
