เข้าสู่ระบบFinally, it was morning again…A bright new day at the Mooncrest Pack.For Damien Blackthorn, he was getting all he wanted…Alpha of Nightwing pack and now Alpha of Mooncrest Pack…and plus he had an heir coming, and that will strengthen his bloodline.But still..there was a wildcard there…Serena. With her, it made everything feel so hard.For Sandy, hers wasn’t so complicated…she had one single goal. Tear the Nightwing pack from the inside out and the first step in that was simple…Taking out Serena..permanently.And Serena. Well, hers could be summarized in one word..a mess. Losing her chance at being Alpha, and then losing her father..followed up by her being forcefully bonded to Damien Blacktorn who did nothing but hurt her.This only has the ingredients for chaos…Sandy had been awake long before dawn. In fact, she spent all night scheming more than sleeping.Now she stood in front of the kitchen, sleeves slightly rolled, her movements slow and deliberate as she arranged the plates
Today was another day in this torture of a pack for Serena…The elders swore to make her life a living hell, and to be fair, that was exactly what they were doing.Now she was walking through the long hallways.Servants moved around her carefully, their heads bowed, their voices hushed. Some stole glances and others really didn’t even try to hide it.That’s her.The Alpha’s daughter.The one who got expelled.The one who’s about to be Luna.Luna.The word made her stomach turn.That was the title she had been trying her whole life to outrun, and yet, it had found a way back to her.Maybe, the elder has always been right. Women…just weren’t meant for the Alpha title.One of the maids stopped in front of a large set of carved doors and pushed them open.“Your quarters, my lady.”Serena didn’t respond or acknowledge her.She stepped inside.The doors closed behind her softly.And just like that…It felt real.This wasn’t a discussion anymore.It wasn’t a threat.It was really happening.
The moment they announced, a heavy and deafening silence followed.For a full minute, Serena did not move or think…The elders' words were still ringing in her ears. Take the former Alpha’s daughter as your Luna.Her…Who else was there to offer?A flicker of laughter broke through the stillness.Then another.And just like that, the room came back to life.Whispers spread like wildfire.“She should be honored…”“It secures her position…”“She’s lucky he’s even willing—”Lucky.That word hit harder than anything else.Lucky. That was what she was now. Just a lucky person that she was born by an Alpha…Maybe they were right…“Maybe she forced the elders to do this…”“Maybe it was her plan all along to remain in charge ..."“She’s so selfish…”The whispers continued, each one hitting hard.Her breathing began to quicken, the panic stirring up.“I… I just…” “I can’t…”Serena muttered under breath, then she turned and walked out.Later now, Serena had finally gotten a grip of herself. No
Damien was going to be their Alpha…No, no, not that. He was going to be her Alpha!!But for a second, just one second…Serena let herself forget how everything ended between them.The grief and the humiliation. The most shameful day of her life.All of it faded…Because Damien was standing in front of her.Her heart betrayed her first.It began pounding loudly in her chest.Too many memories rushed in at once.The forest at and the gauntlet, where he found out about her secret…That was the day she truly felt something for him. Maybe not enough, but she truly saw him as a good person and not an egotistic Alpha like the others.Her breath caught.Maybe…Maybe he didn’t come for the pack.Maybe he didn’t come to take anything from her.Maybe everything that happened at the academy—everything that broke between them—wasn’t the end.Maybe—The thought barely had time to take shape—Before it was destroyed.The carriage door opened again.A woman stepped out.And just like that…Everything
Today was the day…The day Serena had prayed against, she spent so much effort trying to avoid it since she returned.And despite it all, the day still came. The day that she buries her father and rest his soul.The air in the pack was still and heavy.It was as if the world itself had paused to acknowledge what Mooncrest had lost.Their Alpha…Serena stood at the center of the yard, with other pack members gathered behind her..She was at the front, where she didn’t want to be.Where she had no choice but to stand.Her fingers curled tightly at her sides, nails biting into her palms as she stared ahead at the raised stone platform.Her father lay there.He is gone now.A low murmur rippled through the gathered pack members behind her, but Serena barely heard it. Their presence blurred into nothing. Their faces meant nothing.All she could see… was him.A priest stepped forward and then he began reciting the ancient rites of passage.Words Serena had heard before.“…the Alpha returns
“It’s your father…”“He’s dying…”Dying? No,no,no:..For a moment those words didn’t register in her mind.Serena just stood there, staring at the maid like she hadn’t heard her properly.Then it truly hit her at full force Her chest tightened immediately.Then she moved.Her legs carried her quickly across the yard.Her boots slammed against stone and dirt alike as she cut through corridors, brushing past servants who barely had time to step out of her way.Her thoughts came in fragments.No…Not yet.He still has time…he couldn’t just die and leave her like that.She pushed harder as her breathing became heavier.By the time she reached the doors to his chamber, they were already open.Too many people were inside.Their voices, movements all laced with panic and urgency.Serena slowed for half a second at the threshold.As she took it in…And everything inside her dropped.The room was chaotic.Healers crowded around the bed, their hands and bodies moving quickly.“Hold him—”“More
