"Luna Eva! Hang in there!"

Before the biting cold could consume me completely, Liam hauled me out of the water.

The universal red antidote coursed down my throat, and the burning fire that had raged through my abdomen vanished instantly.

I had survived. Liam had risked everything to bring me to a hidden safehouse.

I lay there for three days.

The red antidote gradually restored my strength, easing the poison's grip on me.

However, some things were gone forever.

On the fourth day, I opened

  • The Broken Vow   Chapter 10

    The Blood Moon night had finally arrived.Crimson light bathed the land, turning everything into a battlefield of shadows and blood.Damian emerged from his locked room at last. He was a mere skeleton of his former self, his face drained of all color, his steps unsteady.Slowly, he made his way to my home. For the last time, he stood at my door.This time, there were no pleas. He simply called my name, quietly, desperately.I opened the door.The red moonlight fell across his face, revealing every line of regret and despair.A scent of decay clung to him, like a spirit already half-lost to death."Eva," he rasped, voice hoarse, every remaining ounce of strength spent. "The Blood Moon night… has arrived."He reached for my hand.I stepped back.He paid it no mind, lowering himself slowly to one knee.Under the crimson moonlight, he looked up at me, a final flicker of hope burning in his eyes. "You were the destined mate the Moon Goddess showed me."I swore a sacred oath to

    Damian locked himself in his study, never leaving its confines.He had completely abandoned all resistance. Day after day, night after night, he drowned himself in liquor.The once-proud Alpha of the Blackrock pack had become a hollow shell, a drunk staggering through the ruins of his own life.His wolf had grown so weak it could only let out faint, desperate cries.Meanwhile, the Bloodfang pack's army had massed at the borders.War had erupted.The Blackrock pack, leaderless and disoriented, crumbled.Damian was too drunk to command, leaving the army directionless.The Bloodfang pack's forces swept through like a tide, crushing everything in their path.The once-mighty Blackrock pack fell back step by step, teetering on the edge of annihilation. Panic and despair spread like wildfire.The council of elders was powerless, thrown into chaos the likes of which they had never known.Finally, they came to my door.Those same elders who had once sneered at me now kneeled before

    Damian came to my door again, humbling himself with a plea.This time, he wasn't here to see the pup. He was bringing his last and most consequential offering.The door opened, and I stepped out calmly.Hope sparked instantly in Damian's eyes. His voice trembled as he called out, "Eva."His voice was hoarse, rough, and ragged from emotion."I've decided to sever the mate bond with Chloe."The air seemed to freeze.I watched him quietly, my gaze passing through him, lost in the distance beyond."Does this prove my resolve?" Damian's voice carried a childlike mix of innocence and longing. "As long as you return to me, I-I'll do anything."I focused on his eyes, where fire burned with remorse and despair, where hope flickered with desperate pleading.And in my eyes, there was nothing.I sighed and shook my head gently. "I won't forgive you, no matter what you do."My tone sharpened, cold and absolute, like the sharpest icicle of midwinter. "Damian, what you're doing is pointle

    A few months later, I gave birth within the pack's territory. The pup was a healthy little male wolf.Liam and the rest of the pack adored him from the moment he was born.He was my only hope, the strength I would build my future on.I named him Noah Lopez, and his name meant "new beginnings".News of the pup's birth spread quickly through the pack.Only much later did the news reach Damian.When he heard the news, the crystal glass slipped from his hand and shattered on the floor.A violent rush of joy, tangled with regret, struck him all at once.To him, Noah was his only redemption and the last bridge that could reconnect us.Immediately, in the name of the Alpha, he sent an endless procession of gifts.A magnificent gold-trimmed cradle, the softest animal furs, and a dazzling array of jewels and ornaments.The convoy stopped outside my door in grand formation.I didn't go out, and I couldn't even be bothered to look.Everything was returned exactly as it had come, alon

  • The Broken Vow   Chapter 6

    Damian and Chloe's mating ceremony was set a month away.A gilded invitation landed in my hands, addressed to me as Elder Eva, inviting me, in the name of the Alpha, to witness the union with the new Luna.Liam stood behind me, shaking with anger. "Elder Eva? He's insulting you!"I smiled faintly, calm as ever. No ripple of emotion stirred within me. "I'll offer the Alpha and his Luna my blessings."With that, I took a pen and wrote on the acknowledgement card, "I'll be there on time."Seeing my response, Damian felt an inexplicable irritation. It was like throwing a punch and hitting nothing but air—hollow and deeply unsatisfying.On the day of the ceremony, the display of luxury was overwhelming.The castle was draped in rare glowing stones and flowers, its brilliance rivaling daylight.On the dais, Damian stood in black and gold while Chloe blazed beside him in crimson. The stark contrast spoke for itself—the union of two powerful packs, displayed for all to see.I arrived,

When he saw me awake, a flicker of relief crossed his face. "Luna Eva, you—"I cut him off, saying calmly, "The decree to strip me of my Luna title… Bring it here."He froze, then produced a scroll from his arms, his eyes flashing with humiliation and anger.I took it from him, silent and contemplative.Love had died, but my pup still lived within me.For my pup and the surviving members of my pack, I would reclaim everything that was rightfully ours.That
