"And what if I say no?" Lane asked, her voice dangerously calm as she looked at Ethan. "Will you kill me, Alpha?"

"No," Ethan said immediately, shaking his head. "I already told you, Lane, I am going to have my elite guards protect you. Even though our mate bond has been dissolved, that promise still stands. I am not a monster. In fact, I will even let you keep your parents' old den on the Silvermoon territory. You can live there safely under my protection, and no one will ever disturb you. S

  • The First Luna    Chapter 99

    Third-person POVMaris rushed back to the Blackwood Pack and locked herself in her bedroom.All the way home, the whispers and side-eyes from others felt like claws scratching at her back.Just thinking about Lane, that damn bitch, hatred and jealousy burning inside her! Lane was being worshipped by soldiers, protected by generals, and even Kaelen had raised a glass to her at the feast. And she, the Luna of the Blackwood Pack, could only go home like a crippled wolf.She bared her teeth and let out a low, muffled growl.Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and she caught the scent of a nervous Omega."She wants me to see her?"Maris heard the message and dug her sharp nails into the stone armrest. "Tell her I'm 'feeling unwell.'"The Omega servant's voice shook. "But, Mrs. Blackwood said you must come. She has questions—""Get out!" Maris roared.She heard a gasp and the sound of the servant running away in a panic.The room went quiet again. Maris slowly walked to the mirror.Th

  • The First Luna    Chapter 98

    Third-person POVThe general who came back from victory got a big celebration party, as usual.The party was held at the Royal Court.Ethan was invited. Maris didn't show up.Normally, Maris would've made a scene. But this time, she left quietly without saying a word.Lane glanced at her back for a second, then looked away and followed the others into the Royal Court.The banquet was actually pretty boring. It was just people giving compliments.Most of the talk was about Kaelen, and the rest was about Lane.People praised her for inheriting her dad's blood and claws. They called her "the new blood moon rising over the Kingdom."After a few drinks, the vice minister from the Department of Military Affairs—wine-flushed—swirled his glass and smiled at Ethan. "So, seeing your ex-Alpha she-wolf shining so bright ... do you regret it?"People laughed. Ethan suddenly looked up.His eyes went past the crowd and locked onto Lane.His lips moved, but then he kept his mouth shut—he didn't dare

    Lane's POVTwelve massive drums pounded a primal rhythm, every beat shaking our chests, stirring the wolf in our blood.The pace picked up, like a pack running under the moon. Claws tore frozen ground, breath became a storm.Priests began chanting.It was an ancient wolf war song. The lyrics were long lost, leaving only deep, echoing syllables that spiraled between drums and horns—as if unseen wolf spirits gathered above, howling.Kaelen stopped three steps from the city gate.He lifted the soul plaque, showing Kain's carved wolf silhouette and name to the gate, Alpha King, and the capital they had sworn to defend.Then he stepped forward.With the soul plaques guiding us, carrying the honored dead as our vanguard, we moved into the gate, steady and deliberate.The crowd went silent, broken only by stifled sobs and rugged breathing.Many werewolves—both commoners and nobles—narrowed their eyes into sharp slits, instincts flaring with raw emotion.As we passed under the archway, we dro

    Maris's POV"Why should I bear your pain? Going to the sanctum was your choice. I had nothing to do with it."Ethan tried to pull his hand away.I gritted my teeth."You're my mate. You promised you'd always protect me. Have you forgotten?""I already took the whipping for you. My back still aches. Isn't that enough?""Ah... It hurts like hell... Ethan, are you seriously just going to watch me die? If you share even half of it, I can survive these five years! Ethan, help me, please!"The silence stretched.Ethan stared at me for a long beat, then said slowly, "Maris, I'm your mate. I promise I won't leave you. But...""You should think of me, too.""You're already in this state, and you can't earn any more merit. But I can't stop. I still have to fight for the pack.""If I endure this every full moon, Alpha King won't assign me anymore.""Ironclaw Pack only has me left to hold the line. My cousin can't handle it. Sharon hasn't awakened her wolf spirit yet. I'm the only one keeping the

    Lane's POV "Ugh—ah! Moon Goddess... Please... Make it stop!"A sharp scream ripped across the camp, turning into wild howls.It was Maris!That was the cost of staying under the protection of the Stillmoon Sanctum.Every full moon, the Moon Goddess Sacrificial Mark that shielded her would bring terrible, unbearable pain.The patrol outside stopped walking."Is that General Duffy?" a young soldier whispered. "That scream sounds worse than Rogues with broken legs.""She asked for it." The older soldier snorted in the dark. "She ignored orders, acted alone, and got captured.During the siege, she even messed up the formation of the armored war wolves. If Military Officer Woods hadn't reacted quickly, we wouldn't have taken the wall.""She tried so hard to grab the credit and ended up like this. Serves her right.""At least General Blackwood took the punishment for her.""Fifty lashes to the bone," a third voice said coldly. "But that was just a show in front of his own men. None of us f

    Lane's POV:"Prince Vance..."My throat felt tight.I stared at him and at those half-finished wolf carvings. For once, I didn't know what to say.In the sacred grove of the Silvermoon Pack, there were memorial crests for my father and brothers. But whenever I returned, I couldn't bring myself to look at them for long.If I avoided looking, it felt like they were just away on a long march and hadn't come back yet—not names cut into cold stone.I took a slow breath, trying to calm the ache in my chest. When my eyes moved, I saw a small charm resting on the velvet near Kaelen's hand. It looked strangely familiar."What's that?"It was an old leather charm, braided and worn. In the middle was a small, polished slice of hemlock wood. The edges were smooth from years of handling. Faint scratch marks covered the surface, copying the Silvermoon Pack's guardian totem, but the lines were stiff and uneven, like they were carved by someone young."Just something from a long time ago."His gaze
