Several months earlier, three southern packs had simultaneously reported an unusually severe drought.

When investigators arrived, they discovered that the region’s largest freshwater lake had nearly disappeared.

The surrounding land hadn’t received meaningful rainfall for almost eight months.

Livestock were dying.

Fields were withering.

Harvests were collapsing.

Without immediate intervention, several territories would have struggled to survive the coming winter.

The report reached the Alpha Ki

  • The Jilted Luna    Chapter 153

    The Alpha King and Queen exchanged another quiet glance.Both of them found it surprising.Most werewolf pups behaved much like ordinary human children.They cried easily.Loud noises startled them.The sight of blood frightened them.Violence frightened them even more.That had been one of the reasons they hesitated to let the twins watch today’s spar.Instead, the boys had enjoyed every moment.As long as Victoria was safe, nothing else seemed to matter.The change from a few months ago was almost unbelievable.Back then, Kyle had begged every day to watch Victoria train.He didn’t understand what sparring involved.He simply wanted to spend time with his mother.When the guards kept refusing, he cried until he was nearly out of breath.Eventually, someone gave in and brought both boys to the training grounds.Unfortunately, they arrived at the worst possible moment.The first thing they saw was one of Diane’s guards throwing Victoria hard onto the ground.Nearby, Diane stood with h

    A soft whine escaped Ophelia’s throat.Another followed, then another, growing louder as it echoed across the training grounds. Beneath Victoria, the massive wolf struggled helplessly while Victoria remained firmly planted on top of her. Her fist rose and fell with calm, practiced precision, every punch landing in exactly the same spot. Each impact sent another jolt through Ophelia’s body.Then Victoria drove one final punch downward.A sharp crack echoed through the arena.The strength left Ophelia’s body all at once. Her enormous wolf went limp and crashed onto the marble floor with a heavy thud. She twitched once before falling completely still, her eyes closing as unconsciousness claimed her almost immediately.Only then did Victoria stop.She slowly pulled her hand back, flexing her fingers as the force of the repeated strikes left them trembling ever so slightly.Her breathing remained even, and there wasn’t the slightest trace of panic on her face.She wasn’t worried about Ophe

  • The Jilted Luna    Chapter 151

    Ophelia had unknowingly underestimated her.She assumed Victoria had spent years without meaningful training.Reality couldn’t have been more different.Victoria had no intention of taking advantage of that misunderstanding out of pride.Nor was she retaliating because of the strange feeling Ophelia’s earlier words had left behind.There was only one reason she refused to ease up.Werewolves healed quickly and pain faded but broken confidence did not.If Ophelia developed the habit of lowering her guard against an opponent…One day she might not survive the mistake.On the sidelines, Aiden and Kyle sat comfortably on their grandparents’ laps.Both boys leaned so far forward that the Queen eventually had to steady them before they tumbled onto the ground.“Hehehe…”Kyle tried covering his mouth as laughter escaped anyway.“Brother…”“Auntie didn’t know Mommy was this strong.”He pointed excitedly toward the arena.“She thought Mommy would be easy to beat.”His eyes sparkled with mischi

    For some reason, Ophelia’s words lingered in Victoria’s mind.“You can attack first… I’ll match your pace.”The offer itself sounded considerate.Perfectly polite.Perfectly reasonable.Yet something about it left an odd feeling she couldn’t quite explain.Was she imagining things?Or had there been another meaning hidden beneath those gentle words?Did Ophelia truly mean to accommodate her…Or was she quietly suggesting that Victoria had fallen behind after so many years away from proper training?That she was no longer someone worth taking seriously?Victoria’s brows drew together for only a moment before she quietly dismissed the thought.No.She was probably overthinking it.Ever since returning home, she had caught herself second-guessing harmless comments more often than she liked.Perhaps the insecurity came from everything she had endured.Perhaps it was simply difficult to trust her own judgment again.Across the arena, Ophelia stood with effortless elegance.Every movement w

    “Take your time, Cousin." “Just let me know when you’re ready.”Victoria returned the smile before letting her gaze wander across the arena. The place felt strangely familiar. Almost comforting. Her attention soon drifted toward the twins. Both boys had already wandered toward one of the weapon racks. Tiny hands stretched toward polished sword hilts with unmistakable curiosity. Before either of them managed to touch one, the Queen called out. “Boys.” Her voice carried enough authority to stop them instantly. “Don’t touch those.” “They’re sharp.” “You’ll hurt yourselves.” She patted the empty space beside her. “Come sit with Grandma.” “We’ll watch your mother instead.” The words struck something deep inside Victoria. Without warning… A forgotten memory surfaced. It unfolded so clearly that it almost felt real. She wasn’t standing inside the arena anymore. She was watching a little girl run laughing across these very same training grounds. The child’s long golden

    Whenever Victoria presented one of her plans, the atmosphere around the negotiating table would quietly change.The Alphas who had entered those meetings expecting to deal with nothing more than an inexperienced young Luna would gradually fall silent. One after another, they found themselves listening instead of speaking.Her proposals were practical.Every trade route served a purpose.Every agreement strengthened another weakness within the Red Moon Pack.She never asked for charity, nor did she beg for favorable treatment. Instead, she offered opportunities both sides could benefit from, making it difficult to refuse without hurting their own interests.By the end of each negotiation, even the most skeptical Alpha usually agreed to open trade with her.The terms were nowhere near as generous as the ones the Red Moon Pack had enjoyed under the former Alpha.Still…It was enough.Enough to keep the pack alive.Enough to stop its economy from collapsing.Enough to buy Carlisle the tim

    Tori’s POV I immersed myself in my work, hoping it would help numb the pain slowly consuming my heart. As night descended, no one reached out to me or even sent a mindlink, leaving me feeling utterly isolated, as if I had been cut off from everyone. But I pushed those thoughts aside and focused o

  • The Jilted Luna    Chapter 3: Something I owe...

    Tori’s POV It was as though they were making no effort to hide their actions, openly flaunting their connection in front of everyone, intentionally deepening my hurt. The mockery in their voices was unmistakable, and it stung sharply in the silence that followed. Carlisle's subordinates seemed

    Tori’s POV Hearing it straight from his mouth, I felt my world crash down, but I couldn't even let out a whimper as pain consumed my body. After being away from each other for a long time, our mate bond was weaker, but even then, I could still feel the pain in my heart as a lone tear fell from my

    Tori’s POV "Luna! Luna Victoria! We've just received a report from the frontlines. The war is over!!!"
