Chapter 5

Author: Lotus
The whole birthing suite went dead silent.

"You've got the wrong wolves! This is a mistake!" Emily shrieked, jabbing a finger at me. "She's the traitor— Avril!"

James jumped in front of her, pale as death. "I'm the Alpha! You've got no right to arrest me or my pack!"

The elder rocking the full moon crest scoffed. "The Elder Conclave answers to the Luminara Order, not some self-important Alpha. Now, let's hear from the real whistleblower."

Yeah. This wasn't random—they were here because I'd called them.

Every wolf in the room turned to me.

The elder stepped up, helped me off the birthing bed, and handed me a handkerchief.

I wiped the mess off my face, cool as ever. "Thanks, Uncle Daniel. Perfect timing."

He gave me a faint smile—the kind only someone who'd watched you grow up could pull off.

James's face twisted. He hadn't seen the Silverlune Pack connection coming.

"Avril, what did you do?"

I met his eyes, calm and steady. "I told the elders the truth. Emily slept with a Dar

    Five years later — Council Hall, Wolfborne Alliance.I sat just on the High Elder's throne. Alphas from every pack stared up, wide-eyed.First summit as Alpha Female of Silverlune Pack.Since I took over, we reclaimed lost land, reinforced the borders, and pushed past them. Silverlune Pack's voice hit different now—nobody ignored us.When the meeting wrapped, I blew off every banquet invite.My daughter had her combat award ceremony today.No way I was missing that.I was halfway down the corridor when some hunched figure nearly collided with one of my guards."S-Sorry..."That voice. That rasp.I stopped cold.James?He must've caught my scent too—his head jerked up, eyes blown wide."...Avril?"Fresh off Nightmaw exile, no doubt crawling back to beg the council to lift his criminal brand.Whip scars still crossed his skin.He looked twenty years older—wrecked.I hit him with a dead stare. When he stepped forward, I immediately backed off, leaving air between us.He

    After the Alliance Tribunal, I went straight back to the manor to pack.Didn't feel a damn thing.Hardly owned anything—just clothes, Mom's pendant, and a bone whistle.What no one knew? Right after I downed the growth-slowing potion...I blew that whistle.Dad answered. Silverlune Pack's Alpha. Cold as frost.He hadn't forgiven me for walking out. Not even close.But when I pricked my finger and let one drop of blood hit the parchment...The scent—my pup's—hung in the air. Alpha blood. Noble. Sharp.That was all it took.He let me back in.I stepped out the front gate with one small bag, whispers trailing behind me.The Elder Conclave's truth serum hit hard.Emily cracked.She confessed everything.Yeah—she'd conspired with the enemy. More than one.Seduced by pretty faces from the Darkclaw Pack, she giggled her way through their beds while feeding them Ebonfang Pack's patrol routes and weak spots.Drunk on the attention.Daydreaming about them fighting over her, cro

    James locked eyes on the fake bundle, then snapped his gaze to my stomach.His pupils blew wide. Lip twitching. "Where's our pup? What did you do? Did you... Did you get rid of her? No. No, no, no—where is she?!"He clawed at the scraps of our mind link, desperate.Too bad it was basically dust—couldn't feel a damn thing."My pup?" I brushed my belly, calm. "She's right here. Still kicking."Uncle Daniel stepped up, blocking me with his broad frame."Alpha James," he snapped, "you keep calling her your mate—mother of your pup—but you didn't even look at her. Seriously? Anyone with half a brain can see she's still carrying. Six months isn't full term. You couldn't even tell the difference."His voice dropped, sharper. "You never loved her. Should've never let the brightest jewel of Silverlune Pack end up with you."Silence hit hard.I smiled, but it stung.Yeah, I loved him. Once.Loved him enough to ditch my birthright, to dull my claws.I played the good mate—tended to his

    James flinched so hard he almost dropped the bundle.He backpedaled, then straightened up like he hadn't just been caught red-handed. "Avril? You're awake? Emily already had her pup and I—uh—I came to check on ours."Before he could finish, the bundle let out a shriek loud enough to rattle bone.He still wouldn't look at me. Jaw locked, hands shaky, he peeled back the blanket."See? Our pup's adorable!"A mottled-furred pup blinked up at him.Right on cue, James gasped like he deserved an award. "Wh-What is this? Avril! You DARE betray me?!"His roar blew the doors wide open—wolves flooded in.Seconds later, the birthing suite was packed wall to wall.Camilla barreled in first. The second she saw the pup's fur, she lost it."Moon Goddess! You filthy bitch!" she shrieked. "You TAINTED my son's bloodline? James gave up EVERYTHING to be with you—a Silverlune white wolf! Was that not enough? You went and spread your legs for some OUTSIDER?"Her screech dragged even more eyes int

    I took the bowl, sniffed deep. "Huh. Smells like there's... something extra in it."James flinched. Covered fast. "What? That's ridiculous. My mom made it herself. She'd never hurt you."I sneered. "Camilla?"His brow twitched. "What's with that tone?"I blew on the steam, voice flat. "She's always hated that I outshined your bloodline. Said I wasn't soft enough. Let's be real—she'd throw a party if you marked Emily instead."His face went stiff. Yeah, he remembered how his mom really was.Camilla always said Emily was the "real" Luna. Her family died saving James, and she basically grew up in his shadow. That bond? Deep.Even with Emily knocked-up and unclaimed, Camilla still treated her like pack royalty.Guess she assumed whatever was growing in Emily's belly had to be James's.And James knew it.He scrambled for an excuse. "Avril, my mom actually likes you. She's just... not great at showing it. Hasn't she been better since you got pregnant?"I laughed.Better?Making
