MasukLarissa has always lived in the shadow of her stunning, graceful, and brilliant sister, Brittany. The one destined to become the future Luna of the Starlight Pack. But everything changed the day Brittany tragically died. The entire pack, including their once-loving family and the Alpha, turned their backs on Larissa, blaming her for the tragedy she never meant to cause. Even the Moon Goddess seemed to curse her, choosing her to take Brittany’s place as the Alpha’s mate. Larissa thought her fate might finally change, but she was wrong. The Alpha agreed to marry her not out of love, but to make her life a living hell. Larissa was treated more like a prisoner than his wife—unmarked and unloved. Still, she clung to hope. She swallowed her pride, devoted herself to him, and tried to become the Luna her pack expected. But that fragile hope was shattered when the Alpha returned from a trip with the woman he truly loved, his chosen Luna. To Larissa’s horror, it was Brittany. Alive. Staggered by betrayal and humiliation, Larissa gathered the last of her strength and revealed the truth: she was carrying the Alpha’s child. His response was merciless. He cast her out of the pack, declared her a rogue, and left her to fend for herself in a cruel and dangerous world. Just when death seemed her only escape, a mysterious man appeared.
Lihat lebih banyakFive years passed quietly—so quietly that sometimes I wondered if fate was preparing to strike again. But it didn’t. Not once. After the punishment I gave Keala and my sister, Brittany, life settled into a peace I had never imagined I could have. My days were filled with duties as Queen, meetings, decisions, and the constant noise of children running through the corridors. Kael, my fiery little wolf, was already five. And my twins—Axel and Abby—were three, loud, clingy, adorable, and absolutely unstoppable.Veldrin was just as busy, ruling a kingdom that finally knew what it meant to breathe without fear. No threats. No rebellions. No shadows lurking at our borders. Just peace. A kind of peace I once thought was a myth.And today was the day I’d waited for through all those quiet years.We were flying to the West District. For the first time since becoming Queen, I was returning to Starlight Pack, my pack town, my childhood home, the place I once ran away from.“Are you that happ
After leaving my father’s chamber, I thought we would return to Kael. My mind was already drifting toward the thought of holding him, smelling his soft baby scent, and pretending—just for a moment—that the world was peaceful.But Veldrin didn’t teleport.He stopped at the end of the hallway, shoulders squared, gaze fixed ahead. His expression was calm, controlled, but his eyes burned with the kind of cold anger that warned me something was wrong.“Rissa,” he said quietly, “there’s something you need to handle.”My heart stuttered. “Something?” I echoed, confused.His fingers brushed mine, warm and steady, as if grounding me.“Yes. Something only you can do.”A chill rolled through me. “What is it?”He didn’t answer right away. Instead, he turned toward me slowly, cupping my waist with familiar confidence.“I need you to punish someone.”'Punish...' The word surprised me. My frown deepened. “Punish who?”Still, no answer.Just a soft exhale and a small, unreadable smile.“Come. You’
The days after the attack felt strangely quiet. As if the palace itself tried to erase what happened. Servants and guards moved normally again, though occasionally their eyes darted toward shadows as if expecting Pepper or the dark witch to suddenly show up again.Life attempted to return to normal. Most of my days were spent between my son, Kael, and the overwhelming duties placed upon me as Queen. I was still adjusting to that title. Queen of Crescentia. Queen of several packs. Queen of a kingdom I barely understood a few months ago. Meanwhile, Veldrin had become even busier. I barely saw him, except in the mornings before sunrise or late at night when both of us were too exhausted to talk. Every hour, he spent either in his office, in war council meetings, or out investigating unrest in distant territories.Whispers traveled faster than arrows in the palace. And through them, I learned what was happening... Thane’s betrayal in the West District clean-up; the remaining traitors
When consciousness returned, it did not arrive gently. My body felt stiff and heavy, like stone. My eyelids resisted opening, weighted by exhaustion. I tried again, slower this time. Light hit me immediately, sharp enough to make me wince. Sunlight streamed through the curtains in warm beams, far too cheerful for how my body felt.I groaned and shut my eyes again, breathing slowly until the harsh brightness felt tolerable. When I finally opened them fully, the world sharpened into focus.And I froze.Someone was lying beside me.Not just someone.“Veldrin?” My voice came out hoarse, barely a whisper. I pushed myself up so fast. The blanket tangled around me. My heart races. “When did you get back?”His back was to me, hair slightly messy, one arm outstretched across the bed as if reaching for something that was no longer there. My sudden movement must have stirred him, because he inhaled sharply and rolled to face me.His eyes opened slowly. When they landed on me, they widened
