My eyes found her in the sea of people who had gathered in front of us. The entire Blood Moon pack was here. Gathered on the auspicious full moon night to witness the announcement of the new alpha.

Their alpha.

And there she was. Standing as one among the people. She should have been here. Beside me. Like she always did. But today, I did not have the courage to call her here. She smiled at me softly, assuring me with her eyes. Her eyes shone with a sense of pride that made my heart swell and clench my gut. I swallowed. I couldn’t bear to look at her. Yet I continued to keep looking at her as I didn’t know where else to look.

My father rose from his chair after the announcer announced his name.

“Thank you all for joining us. I am extremely grateful to all of you for staying by our side, putting your faith in us and trusting us to be your Alpha and Luna.” He looked at my mom who was seated in a chair beside the one assigned to my dad. She smiled at him. 

My heart flipped. All my life I wished for love for myself. And I had it too. But now….I don’t know.

“With the same promise and determination, I now announce to you the new Alpha and the protector of this pack, Alpha Cassius Knight." Cheers erupted around me as people threw flowers and garlands towards me. I stood up from my chair and walked towards the place where my dad was standing.

My eyes roamed around the happy, waving, cheery mass of people before it rested back in the place it belonged. Locked with hers. 

She smiled, chuckling, wiping her cheeks.

Of course she would be crying with joy. After all, only she knew the hard work I put in to come to this stage. To be worthy of this title. Being the firstborn son of the Alpha meant that the throne was destined to be mine, but another member from the pack challenged my strength and ability. I had to prove myself before I could be the Alpha. I lifted my hand and waved back at the crowd that erupted even louder. Happiness filled my mind at the sight.

This is what I wanted. This is what I had strived so hard for. This was where I belonged. Being the Alpha of my pack.

“Luna.”

“Luna”

“Luna”

The crowd began chanting ‘Luna’ asking me to announce my Luna. My fated partner. My mate. The one who would stand beside me and help me complete my oath.

Taking a deep breath I began. “Thank you everyone for gathering here. As dad said, we are always grateful for the faith and trust you have put in us. And I promise to cherish and respect the love and kindness you have always given us. And with that I swear in as your new Alpha.” Cheers erupted again.

“And as your Alpha, I now introduce you to your new Luna. I now introduce you to Eloise Lockwood, daughter of Dashiell Lockwood, the Beta of the Silver Deity pack.” My eyes automatically found hers even though I tried my best to avoid her gaze.

They were lifeless. As if all the life had been sucked out like a vampire sucks out blood. People cheered celebrating this new beginning but everything inside me was sucked away with the betrayal that hung to her face. I hadn’t chosen her. My Luna, my love and my mate. Instead I chose someone else. Not just anybody, her stepsister. The same vile woman who had hurt my mate on multiple occasions.

As Eloise placed her palm on my bicep, I snapped out of my thoughts and turned to look at her. She smiled at me, victoriously, as if hinting that I had made the right choice. I nodded and removed her palm from my arm, hating the way her skin felt against mine. I hated the ick it gave me. It lacked the warmth Sienna gave me.

My eyes went back to her, but she was nowhere to be found. I wanted to apologize. Apologise for putting her through this. She had to know why I did this. 

The high priest called us for our blood oath, where we swear in as the Alpha and Luna of the pack, sealing our fate until death parts us. It also symbolizes a marriage in the werewolf community.

‘I shall shower you with so much love that you shall never feel left out.’ My own words echo in my head as I close my eyes for the ritual.

Shutting them out, I force my eyes open and slice my palm with the sacrificial knife. Eloise does the same and we join our palms together, letting our blood mix and drip into the water basin below. 

“With the blessings and the power from the Moon Goddess, may you be ever successful and together forever.” The high priest blessed us, sprinkling the holy water on us.

Forever?

‘I was, I am and I will always be yours. Forever.’ That was what I had told her. Not once, not twice but every single time she questioned herself and us.

And now, I was never hers.

I could never be.

With that thought I left the chamber with Eloise and joined the pack for celebrating tonight.

I tried my best in searching for her. She has to be here. As I moved through the crowd of people, Eloise already lost somewhere behind, I headed to the packhouse, where I felt I could find her.

She shall forgive me when she hears my apology.

Little did I know that that would not be true.

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Luna   64. CASSIUS

    The doctor finally stepped out of the room, and I stood up immediately, my heart lodged somewhere in my throat. The past hour had stretched longer than any battle I had ever fought. Waiting outside that room, listening to the muffled sounds of Selena crying and Sienna whispering to her, had been a different kind of torture—one where there was nothing to fight, nothing to fix, nothing to command.“Cassius,” the doctor said calmly, though there was gentleness in her voice that eased something inside me. “She is unharmed. No fractures. Just a severe sprain and bruising. She will need rest and observation for the next few hours, but she will recover.”Unharmed.The word echoed in my mind like a blessing.My shoulders sagged slightly before I rea

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Luna   63. CASSIUS

    The scream tore through the park like a blade.For a fraction of a second, everything slowed. The laughter around us faded, the movement of children blurred into the background, and all I could see was Selena’s small body slipping from the wooden beam. Her foot missed the edge, her balance gone, and then she was falling.My body moved before my mind caught up.I didn’t remember standing. I didn’t remember crossing the distance between the bench and the beam. One moment I was sitting beside Sienna, and the next I was running, my heart slamming violently against my ribs as fear surged through me like wildfire.Selena hit the ground hard.The sound of impact echoed louder in my ears than it probably was. She let out another cry, sharp and broken, her small hands clutching at the ground as panic took over her tiny frame.“S-Selena!” Kane’s voice cracked beside her, trembling with fear.Sienna didn’t move.That was what frightened me more than anything else.She stood frozen near the bench

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Luna   62. CASSIUS

    It was Sienna’s day off, and I had learned to recognize those days without asking. Over the past few weeks, her routine had become familiar to me, not because she shared it, but because I watched carefully enough to understand it. On working days, she moved with quiet urgency, her attention split between files, responsibilities, and the children. But today was different. The morning had stretched slowly, gently, without the usual rush, and now we sat together on a wooden bench at the edge of the park while Kane and Selena played in the open field before us.This was the first time she had allowed me to sit beside her like this, without visible irritation or distance tightening her shoulders. It was not forgiveness. It was not acceptance. It was simply permission. And strangely, that small permission felt heavier than anything else she had given me so far.The park buzzed with quiet life. Children laughed loudly as they ran in uneven circles, chasing each other ac

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Luna   61. SIENNA

    It had been three weeks since Cassius arrived in North Hollow, three weeks since my life began shifting in ways I had not planned and certainly had not prepared for. At first, every day had felt tense, like walking on unfamiliar ground, expecting it to crack beneath my feet at any moment. But slowly, something strange had begun happening—not calm, not acceptance, but a kind of reluctant adjustment that settled into the edges of my routine whether I wanted it or not.Cassius had not crossed the boundaries I set. Not once. That alone had surprised me more than I cared to admit. I had expected him to push, to test the limits, to find ways around the rules the way powerful men usually did when told no. But he hadn’t. Instead, he moved around the edges of our lives like someone who understood that even the smallest misstep could cost him everything. I had seen him leave early some mornings, dressed in formal clothes that reminded me too much of the Alpha he had become, heading back to his

    I had expected resistance.Not shouting, not anger, but at least hesitation. Cassius had always been stubborn in his own quiet way, especially when he believed something mattered. Back then, he had stood firm in his choices even when they hurt me. Even when they tore us apart. That memory had stayed with me for years, shaping how I saw him, how I prepared myself for every conversation that involved him.So when he agreed to my rules without protest, without even a flicker of irritation crossing his face, it unsettled me more than if he had argued.I stood there watching him carefully, searching his expression for something—anything—that suggested reluctance. Pride, anger, frustration. Anything that would make sense to the man I once knew.But there was none.Only acceptance.Not the forced kind. Not the kind that waits for the right moment to push back. It looked… deliberate. Like he had already decided that this was the path he would walk, no matter how humiliating or difficult it be

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Luna   59. CASSIUS

    I had not expected her to apologize.After everything she had said, after the way her voice had trembled with years of anger and fear, I had prepared myself for silence… or worse, for her to walk away and leave me kneeling there like a man who had finally been stripped of everything he once believed defined him.But instead, she stood there, breathing hard, her shoulders still tense, her eyes still swollen from crying. The silence between us stretched long enough for me to feel every second settle into my bones. My knees ached slightly from remaining on the floor, but I did not move. I did not dare.Then she spoke.“I shouldn’t have said that like that.” Her voice was quieter now. Not soft, not gentle, but steadier than before. Controlled. For a moment, I wasn’t sure I had heard her correctly.I lifted my head slowly, meeting her gaze. There was no warmth in her eyes, but there was something else there now—something heavier than anger. Restraint. “I meant what I said,” she continued,

    Cassius was at the door exactly on time. Not a minute early. Not a minute late.When I opened it, he stood there with that careful composure he had been wearing lately — restrained, almost deliberate in every movement. In one hand he held a bottle of wine. In the other, a small pack of fresh juice

    Just when I thought I had finally made peace with my future, Cassius stood at my doorway. For a second, I thought my mind was playing tricks on me. That the universe had decided I hadn’t suffered enough and wanted to test how steady I truly was.But no. He was real. Leaning against the side of my e
