Chapter 4

Penulis: Anna
I had no energy left to fight.

My body was a hollow shell, every bone aching with a fatigue so heavy it felt like lead in my lungs. Even breathing felt like a task I couldn't finish.

Carter’s hand shot out, fist bunching in the front of my soaked, mud-caked shirt. He hauled me off the floor until we were eye-to-eye, his face contorting into a mask of pure malice. He let out a jagged, cold laugh.

"Selene. You forced my hand." He leaned in, his breath hot against my cheek. "I was going to end this after a few nights. But now? I want you to choke on every bit of this."

He dropped me like trash and turned back to Chloe. "Chloe. Come here. For tomorrow’s public ceremony—I want you standing beside me as my Luna."

Chloe let out a shrill, triumphant scream, throwing herself against his chest. "Really? Then I want Selene there. I want her front row. Five years ago, I had to watch from the shadows while she and Jake bonded. Now, she can watch me take her crown."

"Done," Carter rasped, his eyes never leaving mine. "She’ll stand there and watch me sink my teeth into your neck."

I couldn't breathe. I looked at the man who had spent a year "healing" me, searching for a trace of the Alpha I thought I loved. There was nothing left but a stranger. I tried to scream, but my throat was a desert. I could only shake my head, mud and tears blurring my vision.

A sharp, cruel smile cut across Carter's face. "Does it hurt, Selene? Does it feel like your heart is being ripped out of your chest?" He leaned down, his voice a lethal whisper. "Good. Because five years ago, while you were in Jake’s bed, that’s exactly how I felt."

The truth hit me harder than his rejection. Carter never loved me. This wasn't a romance; it was a long-game execution. He had pulled me back from the brink of suicide just to ensure I was alive to feel the humiliation he’d nursed for half a decade. Every tear I shed was a sacrifice to his ego.

I slowly raised a trembling hand and pressed it over my heart. I forced my lips to pull back into a jagged, broken ghost of a smile.

"No," I whispered. "Carter... I don't feel anything. I just think you're disgusting."

That was the breaking point.

He shoved Chloe aside, crossing the distance in three predatory strides. He grabbed me by the hair, his knuckles white, and began dragging me toward the stairs. I fought, my nails raking bloody furrows into his forearms, but an Omega against an Alpha in a blackout rage is no contest.

He hauled me to the third floor, past our shared bedroom, and stopped at the heavy oak door of the guest room. He kicked it open and threw me inside. I scrambled up, lunging for the handle, my voice finally breaking through.

"Let me out! Carter, let me out!"

The lock clicked with finality.

"You think I'm disgusting?" Carter’s voice came through the wood, cold and flat. "Tonight, Selene, I’m going to make sure you hear exactly what 'disgusting' sounds like."

Then, his command echoed through the house: "Chloe. Get upstairs. The master bedroom. Now."

I stood there in the dark, paralyzed, as the first sounds drifted through the thin walls.

  • The Omega Luna's Perfect Revenge   Chapter 10

    The next day, I "remembered" that the man I loved craved his food scorching hot, laced with ghost peppers and chili. By that evening, the Alpha who couldn't handle a hint of spice was admitted to the Pack clinic with acute gastritis.Late that night, I stood over Carter’s hospital bed. His fever had spiked so high he’d slipped into unconsciousness. My face was a mask of indifference.It hit me then. I’d felt a flicker of satisfaction watching him suffer—sharp, brutal, and fleeting. But then, it was gone. I was empty where something vital should have been.I didn't understand it until Carter began to mumble in his delirium, his cracked lips straining to whisper my name. In that moment, the pain, the hatred, and the love all went flat.Carter had used another woman to punish me for my past, and it had worked—it destroyed me because I had actually loved him. But what was I doing now? I was using his love for me as leverage, running the exact same play he had.I sat by his bed until dawn.

  • The Omega Luna's Perfect Revenge   Chapter 9

    Carter panicked, his hands trembling with a sudden, restless energy. He had no idea where the ring was.When we’d gone to pick it up, I’d clutched that velvet box against my chest as if it were a holy relic. Then he had shoved me out of the car, and the box had vanished into the mud along with me.I watched the realization fracture his expression. Then, I let the madness take over. I threw a fit, hurling everything within reach at him and screaming at the top of my lungs until the hospital staff stopped to stare."If you can lose the ring that was supposed to be our future, you never loved me!" I shrieked. "I want to break the Bond. I want to Reject you right now!"Carter was cornered. He dropped to both knees beside my hospital bed, his pride in tatters. "It was my fault. I’ll have a new one made—one I’ll guard with my life. Please, Selene, just trust me."I made him work for it. It took hours of him begging on his knees and signing over several of his most lucrative Pack holdings int

  • The Omega Luna's Perfect Revenge   Chapter 8

    Carter had made the ultimate mistake. He went to her; he took her to bed.Afterward, he returned home, carefully bringing a blueberry tart—the sweet treat the Pack doctor said would help a body heal. He sat there and watched me eat it, smiling and completely oblivious. Within him, a bitter resentment festered. Why should he be the one to suffer while I sat there happy, blissfully unaware of the truth?So, on that storm-lashed night, Carter laid it all bare. He threw me out of the car and into the freezing mud.The SUV screeched to a halt, snapping Carter out of the memory. He had no time for remorse now. He kicked the door open, sprinted into the clinic, and carried me directly into the trauma bay. The betrayal, the petty revenge—Carter realized now that they were the most catastrophic choices of his life. Had he known the price of his vengeance would be losing me, he would have swallowed every drop of his pain in silence.The thought sent a fresh wave of agony through his chest as he

  • The Omega Luna's Perfect Revenge   Chapter 7

    On the way to the clinic, Carter held me in a death grip.His body was a wall of tension as memories fractured in his mind. He remembered the first time he saw me—at the training grounds. He’d taken a brutal hit during a spar and was losing blood fast. I was the one who knelt in the dirt, pulling healing herbs from my kit and pressing them into the wound.Carter hadn’t known back then that I was already with Jake. He’d gotten a taste of my scent and decided right then that he was coming for me. By the time he learned the truth, Jake and I had already shared our first Mark.The night of my bonding ceremony with Jake, Carter spent the hours howling at the moon. He’d shifted and tracked our convoy from the shadows the entire way. When Jake finally carried me across the threshold, Carter couldn't bear to watch. He turned and vanished into the rain.That night, half-conscious and drowning in whiskey, he dreamed. In his sleep, he was the Alpha marking my neck. He was the one holding me. When

    Carter was too slow.The instant he lunged, my shirt slipped through his desperate fingers like water. I hit the ground with a sickening thud.In Carter’s hand: a clump of wet mud. The same mud he had shoved me into hours ago.He stood on the balcony, paralyzed for several heartbeat-seconds, before the silence shattered."Selene!"He howled, a raw, primal sound of agony. He didn't stop for shoes or a shirt; he bolted barefoot out of the room, throwing himself down the stairs. The distance from the third floor to the garden usually took fifteen seconds. For Carter, it was an eternity.He hit the rain-soaked grass and collapsed to his knees. His hand trembled violently as he reached for my face. A faint, shallow breath ghosted across his fingertips.I was alive."What are you standing there for? Get the Pack doctor! Call an ambulance!" Carter spun around, screaming at Chloe, who had appeared in the doorway. His eyes were completely bloodshot, wild with a terror I had never seen.The rain

    The sounds started seconds later.The rhythmic thud of the headboard. The screech of the bed frame dragging across the hardwood. Every grunt, every gasp, filtering through the wall with agonizing clarity.Chloe’s voice rose, sharp and taunting. "Carter, you’re incredible. Locking Selene in the next room just so she has to listen? You’re so cruel.""Shut up," Carter’s voice rumbled, thick with exertion. "Spread your legs. I’ll show you exactly how cruel I can be."I pressed my hands over my ears until my knuckles turned white, but it was useless. Every sound found its way into my skull, cold spreading from my feet until the pain folded me onto the floor. My mind tried to retreat to the moonlight, to Carter’s wide shoulders, to the tender way he used to look at me—but the scraping of that bed frame buried every beautiful memory in filth.I reached into my pocket and fumbled for the white prescription bottle. The pills that kept my mind from fracturing. I shook a handful into my palm and
