Luna Selene’s fingers trembled as she cupped Ava’s face, her eyes wide with a mixture of awe and grief.

“You are mine,” she whispered, voice raw. “Ava… you are my daughter. My blood. My child.”

Ava’s lips parted, but no words came. She blinked, as if Selene’s words were smoke, something unreal that could vanish at any moment.

“That’s not possible,” Ava managed, her voice cracking. Her head shook slowly, as though denying the truth would make it disappear.

Alpha Garry stood frozen. His sharp eyes, usually hard as steel, softened as he looked at her—really looked. He reached forward, his voice thick. “No wonder…” He gave a broken laugh. “No wonder I always felt something familiar. That resemblance—your eyes, your chin—I thought it was a trick of the mind. But it wasn’t. You are ours.”

Ava’s chest tightened, her breath shallow. She stared at them both, dumbfounded. She had lived her whole life carrying the weight of lies and whispers, and now these two—these powerful figures—were calling

    Morning light spilled through the tall windows of the dining hall, soft and gold, touching the silverware and the white tablecloths. The air carried the faint scent of honey and fresh bread. It was a quiet breakfast — too quiet for a palace filled with so many people.Ava sat beside Edward, her hands folded neatly on her lap. Across from her were Luna Selene and Alpha Garry, dressed and ready to return to Moonstone Ridge. Servants moved quietly around them, refilling cups, clearing plates, pretending not to feel the tension that hung over the table like smoke.At the head, Luna Antoinette smiled — the kind of smile that never reached her eyes. “I hope you both had a pleasant stay,” she said, her tone polite, almost rehearsed. “It was… lovely having you here.”Alpha Garry nodded. “We appreciate your hospitality.”Antoinette turned her head slightly. “Maids,” she called, “bring out the gifts I had prepared for our guests.”The servants bowed and hurried off.Selene smiled faintly. “You

    Their breathing filled the quiet room—ragged, uneven, still echoing with the rhythm they’d just shared. The sheets clung to their skin, damp and tangled. Lila lay sprawled across Desmond’s chest, her hair sticking to his shoulder, both of them slick with sweat. The air smelled faintly of musk and candle smoke.She tilted her head up, lips brushing his jaw. “You’re… the best,” she whispered, her voice low and breathy. “You’re so damn good. I can’t believe this is what I’ve been missing… all these years I kept saying no.”Desmond smiled faintly, the corner of his mouth lifting as he tucked a loose strand of her hair behind her ear. “Guess you made up for it tonight,” he murmured.She laughed softly—short, warm—but her eyes lingered on his face. For a moment, it was almost tender. Then he cupped her cheek and said quietly, “Lila… I love you. I mean that. I’d like to make you mine.”The laughter faded from her lips. Her gaze flickered, searching his, and then she looked away. “Desmond,” s

    “FLASHBACK”The balcony opened wide to the night, the silver glow of the moon bathing everything in soft light. Luna Selene leaned against the rail, her belly heavy beneath her gown, a bowl of sliced apples and berries in her hands. She picked at them slowly, savoring each bite. Beside her, Alpha Garry sat with his chair angled toward her, his hand resting protectively on her knee.“You’re eating for two now,” he teased softly, watching her pop another piece of fruit into her mouth.She gave him a playful glare. “And whose fault is that?” Her lips curved into a smile as she reached for another slice.His chuckle rumbled low. “When the baby comes, I already know the name.”Selene raised a brow. “We don’t even know if it’s a boy or girl yet. How can you name someone you haven’t met?”“Because it will be a boy,” Garry said firmly, his eyes shining with stubborn certainty. He lifted his gaze to the moon and whispered a quick prayer. “Moon Goddess, bless me with a son to carry my name, my

    “Mother, what are you really doing?” Lila asked, her tone sharp with suspicion. She leaned back in the velvet chair, picking at her nails. “If you didn’t have a plan, then why insist Luna Selene and Alpha Gary spend the night? You could have just let them go.”Antoinette didn’t look at her daughter at first. She stood by the tall window, hands clasped in front of her, her eyes on the courtyard below. “I don’t even know why,” she admitted softly, though her voice carried a certain edge. “But I believe the longer they stay, the closer we’ll get to the truth. Secrets have a way of slipping out when people are kept too close.”Lila rolled her eyes and huffed. “You can’t keep them here forever, Mother. They’ll notice something is off.”“I know,” Antoinette snapped, finally turning. “Having them spend the night was unexpected, even for me. But it works to our advantage.”Lila tilted her head, curiosity sharpening her bratty expression. “So… what now? You can’t just sit here and wait for the

    Ava The morning sun spilled through the tall windows, catching on the gold trim of my chamber walls. I sat before the vanity while two of my maids fussed over the laces at my back, another smoothing the folds of my gown. Their chatter filled the room, the kind that usually made the dressing less tedious. “…and the kitchen’s been buzzing since dawn,” one of them said, fastening the last ribbon. “All for the visitors.” “Visitors?” I asked, raising a brow at her reflection in the mirror. The youngest maid, her hands full of pins, gasped like she’d just given away a secret. “Oh—didn’t you hear, Your Grace? How could you not know?” “Know what?” My voice was steady, though curiosity tugged hard at me. She leaned in a little, whispering though the whole room could hear. “Your parents. Alpha Gary and Luna Celene. They’re visiting the palace today.” I froze, my brush slipping slightly from my hand. “My parents?” The maid with the pins nodded eagerly. “Yes, Your Grace. Word is Luna Antoi
