ASHER

“Because I love her.”

I had said those words to Grace because I didn't want her to keep pressing me about Isabel. I didn't love Isabel—not yet. I barely knew her.

But Grace didn't need to know that.

What mattered was that Isabel was now my wife and future Luna, and I wouldn't allow anyone in my household to humiliate her simply because she had no wolf.

It took some time to convince Grace to keep quiet about Isabel having no scent, but eventually, she agreed.

    ISABELI held my stomach as I stood up, but something warm suddenly ran down my legs. I looked down and saw blood, and my heart dropped. I quickly rushed toward the hall where the Fireclaw healer was staying.When I entered the hall, I looked around and saw the warriors and delegation sitting inside. “Can I have a word with you?” I asked the healer. She stood up immediately, and we moved to a quiet corner away from everyone.Her eyes widened when she saw the blood on my dress. “What happened?” she asked, looking at me with worry. I stayed quiet for a moment before answering.“I fell,” I said. I didn't tell her who had pushed me. The healer moved closer and looked at my stomach.“How did you fall?” she asked. “Do you feel any pain?” Her eyes remained on my stomach as she waited for my answer.“No, but please check if the pup is okay,” I said. I held my breath as she took my wrist. She closed her eyes and stayed still for a few seconds.“The pup is okay,” she finally said, letting out a

    ISABELThe following morning, the Rivercrest gates came into view as our chariots moved along the winding road. Fireclaw warriors rode on both sides of mine, while a small delegation followed behind us under the orders Asher had given before he left. I touched the pendant beneath my clothes and remembered his warning to keep it with me.The moment we reached the gates, several Rivercrest guards stepped forward. One of them hurried toward the pack house while the others stood aside to let our procession pass. “Your Luna has arrived,” I heard one of them announce.I climbed down from the chariot and looked toward the pack house. My eyes moved over the familiar stone walls, but instead of feeling like I had returned home, my stomach tightened at the memories waiting inside. I adjusted my cloak and followed the Fireclaw warriors toward the entrance.At the top of the pack house, Vivian stood beside our parents. Her expression changed the moment she saw me, and her eyes dropped toward my s

    ASHERI remained in the throne room after Isabel finished her prayer, my eyes fixed on her. She had just prayed for my safety, asking the Moon Goddess to bring me back to her and our child. I looked at her stomach before meeting her eyes again.“Isabel,” I called.She looked at me.I reached into the small pouch attached to my belt and pulled out a small black stone hanging from a silver chain. “Take this with you when you leave for Rivercrest tomorrow.”She stepped closer and examined it. “What does it do?”“It is a protection charm,” I replied. “If you are in serious danger, the stone will become hot, and I will feel it through your mark.”Her fingers closed around it. “So you will know if something happens to me?”“Yes.” I nodded. “But you must keep it around your neck.”She placed the chain around her neck and tucked the stone beneath her clothes. “I will.”I watched her for a moment. She was carrying my pup, yet she had never awakened her wolf, and I had marked her despite knowin

    ISABEL“Like me?” I asked, fear showing through my voice.“My Luna,” an omega interrupted, lowering her head. “Alpha said it is time.”I pushed myself to my feet, my legs aching as I stepped away from the healer’s shrine. My hand settled over my stomach as I imagined Asher’s face if our child was born wolfless. The thought made my chest tighten, and I quickly pushed it away.When we reached the ritual grounds, I found Asher waiting for me. He wore a white ceremonial robe that reached his ankles, the silver embroidery catching the blue moonlight. Around him, the pack members knelt in silence as I approached.I slowed when I saw how many eyes were watching me. Some wolves stared at my stomach while others kept their heads bowed, waiting for the ritual to begin. The blue moon hung above us, bathing the entire clearing in an eerie light.The healer stepped forward and knelt before the altar. She raised one hand toward me, motioning for me to come closer. I walked toward her and placed bot

    ISABEL“A pup,” I whispered, my eyes widening as I placed a hand over my stomach. Luna Dowagar smiled at her son, her face lighting up with excitement. “Congratulations, Alpha.”Asher simply smiled, and his mother turned her attention back to me. “I hope it is a son, an heir who will possess both Rivercrest and Fireclaw powers,” she said. Her eyes moved down to my stomach, and I suddenly felt nervous.“May the Moon Goddess be praised,” she continued. “A ritual will be performed soon.” She paused before looking at me. “Do you want your parents to be informed about it?”I shifted uncomfortably on the bed. “Not yet, Luna Dowagar.”She smiled gently. “It is okay.” She reached for her cloak before turning toward the door. “I guess you should do that yourself.”When Luna Dowagar and the physician left the infirmary, I was left alone with Asher. I stared at him, waiting for him to say something about the pup, but he remained quiet.“What if he doesn't have powers?” I finally asked. “What if

    VIVIAN"Make sure she remains wolfless."Those were my last words to Diane's mother before I walked away from the shrine. I clenched my fists as the memory from three years ago rushed back.It was our seventeenth birthday. I had sneaked into the forbidden magic shrine at the farthest end of Rivercrest Pack to ask about my wolf.The sorceress told me my wolf was stable. Then she said the words that turned my blood cold."Your sister carries the strongest wolf."I stared at her. Isabel? Isabel who had never shifted in seventeen years? Who couldn't even summon water?I demanded to hear more about my twin sister's fate."Isabel is the wolf who will unite all packs," Diane's mother said. "The Moon Goddess is waiting for the right time. On her twentieth birthday, she will be mated to the heir of...""Enough!" I cut her off. I stepped closer until my breath hit her face. "Look at me. I want you to suppress Isabel's wolf."Her eyes widened."If you refuse, I will tell my father you built this
