LOGINThe first rays of morning sunlight had barely begun to stretch across the pack when a terrified scream shattered the peaceful silence.An elderly farmer stumbled backward from his barn, his entire body trembling so violently that the wooden bucket slipped from his fingers and crashed onto the ground, spilling fresh milk across the dirt.“N… no…” he whispered, his lips quivering as he stared ahead.Every animal he owned lay motionless across the field. The sheep that had been healthy the evening before were now scattered across the grass with lifeless eyes staring toward the pale morning sky. The cows rested on their sides without a single breath moving through their bodies, while chickens lay sprawled around the coop, their feathers stained with fresh blood.There wasn’t a single survivor.His breathing grew ragged as he slowly stepped closer, unable to believe what his eyes were seeing. “What… what happened here?”Before he could gather his thoughts, another scream echoed from the ne
The forest had fallen strangely silent.It was not the peaceful silence of dawn before the birds began singing, nor the comforting stillness hunters often found beneath towering trees. This was the kind of silence that settled deep inside the bones and made every instinct scream that something was terribly wrong. Even the wind seemed unwilling to move, leaving the towering branches hanging unnaturally still, as though the entire forest was holding its breath.Beneath the sprawling roots of an ancient oak, Elara lay motionless upon the damp earth. Her torn dress was stained with mud and dried blood from the long, brutal journey that had brought her there. Her once carefully braided hair had come loose, spilling wildly across the ground around her, while the scratches covering her arms and legs stood as painful reminders of the wild animals she had barely escaped before exhaustion finally claimed her.For several long moments, nothing moved.Then…Her fingers twitched.A slow breath esc
Warm rays of the morning sun filtered through the tall windows of the palace infirmary, bathing the quiet room in a soft golden glow that made everything feel peaceful despite the faint, lingering scent of herbs and medicine. Outside, birds chirped happily from the palace gardens, their cheerful songs drifting in on a gentle breeze that stirred the white curtains. Inside, however, Zack’s entire attention remained fixed on the young woman resting in the bed before him.She had regained consciousness the previous evening, but the deep wound across her chest had left her far too weak to move on her own. The healer had ordered complete bed rest for several more days. Although the injury had begun closing after Zack used his blood to strengthen her healing, her body still needed time to recover. Zack, for his part, had stubbornly refused to leave her side for more than a few minutes at a time.The healer had teased him more than once that morning, claiming the poor girl would recover faste
That night, the palace was quieter than it had been in days, yet sleep refused to come to Kai. The events at the Moon Temple replayed endlessly in his mind, each memory striking his heart harder than the one before. He sat silently in the chair beside Selene's bed, his eyes never leaving her peaceful face as the soft glow of the moon spilled through the open window and settled across the room.She had fallen asleep not long after returning from the temple. The emotional burden of the day, coupled with the awakening of her divine power, had exhausted her completely.Kai simply watched her.For the first time, he wasn't looking at her as the quiet maid who had unexpectedly become his mate.He was looking at the woman the Moon Goddess herself had chosen to bless their kingdom.The woman everyone had misunderstood.The woman he had misunderstood the most.A bitter smile crossed his lips as he lowered his head."I really was a fool," he murmured to himself.He remembered every cold word he
The rogue leader remained on his knees, his entire body trembling beneath Selene's unwavering gaze. The arrogance that had filled his face only moments earlier had completely disappeared, replaced by fear so obvious that even the people standing at the back of the courtyard could see it.For several long seconds, he kept his head lowered as though struggling with himself, but the moment his eyes met Selene's glowing silver ones again, he seemed to lose the strength to keep lying.He let out a shaky breath."I lied," he admitted, his voice hoarse enough that the words barely carried across the courtyard.A wave of shocked whispers swept through the crowd.Kai's eyes narrowed as he took a step forward."If you value what remains of your life," he said coldly, "you will tell us everything."The rogue nodded weakly before swallowing hard."It wasn't Lady Selene who helped me escape from the dungeon," he confessed. "It was Lady Elara."The entire courtyard fell silent."It was Lady Elara w
The temple remained wrapped in stunned silence as everyone continued staring at the magnificent silver wolf standing before Luna Astra. No one dared to move or even breathe too loudly, their hearts still struggling to accept what they had just witnessed. Only moments ago, they had believed Selene to be a cursed woman who had brought endless tragedy upon the pack, yet the impossible miracle they had just seen had shattered everything they thought they knew.The High Priestess was the first to recover from her shock.She slowly rose to her feet before turning toward the crowd, her usually gentle face now filled with anger and disappointment."What are you all waiting for?" she demanded, her voice echoing through the temple. "Every single one of you should be on your knees, begging for forgiveness after the way you treated her. How could you lay your hands upon the chosen servant of the Moon Goddess? How could you drag her through the streets like a criminal and even dare to pass judgmen
The full moon hung heavy in the sky, its silver light slicing through the night like a cold blade. Selene wiped the tears from her cheeks with the back of her hand and rose unsteadily to her feet. The wind tugged at her wine-soaked uniform, plastering the damp fabric against her skin and sending shi
The grand ballroom of Silver Moon Palace shimmered like a jewel under dozens of crystal chandeliers. Golden light spilled across the polished marble floors, catching on silk gowns and polished medals. Long tables groaned beneath platters of roasted venison, honeyed fruits, and flowing rivers of spic
The next day dawned bright and clear, but Selene felt nothing but exhaustion. Her eyes were still puffy from crying through the night. The mate bond throbbed painfully in her chest like a fresh wound that refused to close. Yet she dragged herself out of bed and reported for duty like always. She ha
Just as Selene was returning from serving the Alpha and Luna, carrying an empty tray, Kai appeared suddenly from a side path. He grabbed her arm roughly and dragged her into a secluded corner behind a tall hedge, away from prying eyes.Selene gasped in shock, nearly dropping the tray. “P-Prince Kai
