“What do you mean you don't want her to be trained as a Luna, she is the Luna of this pack and should be trained as one.” I could hear that voice I heard last night saying to someone as I stood up from the floor that I had slept.

I spent my first day as a new wife and Luna sleeping on a cold floor because I knew that comfort wasn't for me and I couldn't get it.

“My father arranged our union, I have no interest in her and never will.” He declared so harshly that I felt my chest break more into pieces.

Can there ever be a time that I will have rest? That I will be at peace, and he doesn't keep breaking my heart this way?

Standing from the floor I walked to the bed and stripped off my dress as I walked to the bathroom and made sure to clean myself up nicely.

I looked at the scar on my face and ran my hand through it. There was no way I could carry that scar outside, so I had to call her to come cover them up.

After she was done with the makeover and covering my scar, I walked out of my room to the living room to see Williams standing there with his Beta who smiled at me, but Williams's face was still filled with the annoyance that came when he looked at me.

“You are awake? I hope you slept well?” His beta asked and I nodded as I walked to a chair and settled down.

My stomach grumbled loudly, and I looked at the two of them and Williams was looking at me like he wanted to shred me into pieces.

“You need to start your Luna training today, I am not about.....”

“She is no Luna of mine and that is final, can't you listen to me, Andrew.” He shouted at him and Andrew kept quiet immediately as he bowed to him and then he walked towards me.

My shoulder jerked with unshed tears, the ones that I knew I should never allow to come out.

“Don't worry about it, he will warm up to you,” Andrew said as he came to me and sat beside me.

I wiped the tears that were about to fall and gave him a soft smile.

“Why does he hate me so much? I have done nothing to him, absolutely nothing.” I would rather not keep crying about that, but I felt so hurt, and it pained me all over again.

“He has someone he wants to marry and make his Luna even though the moon goddess gave him someone else, he will come around.” He comforted me as his hand dropped to mine that was on the table.

A low growl made our eyes turn to the door, and it was none other than Williams, his eyes were hooked on the hand that was dropped to me, and they were shining with something I had never seen before.

Andrew withdrew the hand and backed out before he came back and sat where he was before.

He never looked at me again until the both of them walked out of the house together, and the coldness that came from being alone came back in full force.

** *

It was mid-afternoon and I stood in front of the television as I looked at the show that was in front of me when the door opened and someone came in.

It was the girl from last night.

My chest tightened as she walked to the place where I was sitting.

“If it's not the unloved foolish Luna, who else would it be.” She smirked at me as she dropped on the chair beside me.

I did not utter a word nor did I look at her either.

This must have pissed her off as she stood up and came to my front.

She raised my face and made sure that I was looking directly into her eyes.

“When I am talking to you, look me straight in the eyes because I will be your Luna very soon and will command you as I want.”

I did not respond to her and kept my face straight when I felt her hand run straight across my face as she smacked me right there.

“What?......”

“Don't you ever in your worthless life look at me that way again, I am talking to you and you dare blink? Do you know who I am?” Her eyes are filled not only with disgust but with hatred shining red to it.

I was about to say something when the door opened and Andrew and William came into the house.

“Baby.” She ran to him and held his chest as she began muttering things to him.

“How dare you, bitch?" He uttered with the most disgusted voice he could mutter.

He walked to me and without allowing me to open my mouth he smacked me right across my face as I screamed.

“Williams what the hell?” Andrew ran to where I sat, shocked by his actions and by the pain that I felt burning right to my skin.

“She doesn't do that to her, never should she.” He said in anguish as tears burned my eyes sharply.

Andrew knelt in front of me as he looked at the mark that their hands had caused on my face.

“Are you alright?” He asked me as his hands were on my face looking at the mark that was there.

“Yes, it's nothing.” I tried to look away, but he jerked my face back in place as he kept looking at their hands on my face.

Someone cleared his voice and when we didn't turn around he growled with so much anger in there and Andrew's hand didn't fall off my face as he kept watching for the scar.

We were both startled when Williams walked to where we were, he jerked off Andrew's hand from my face.

“Don't you ever, ever in your life touch my mate like that, don't you ever.” He growled with jealousy burning so hot in his eyes. And that was the first time I could ever see such a look in his eyes.

    WILLIAMSAt first, I thought I misheard the sound.Told myself it was nothing, just my mind playing tricks on me.But I wasn’t wrong.The moment I heard that desperate shout, I knew what it meant.My father had returned to me… dead.A pain I never wanted to feel settled deep in my chest. As his only son and the future Alpha, I was supposed to be strong. I was meant to lead, to be unwavering until the funeral rites were completed. Through it all, I wasn’t supposed to shed a single tear.I watched the strongest man I had ever known laid to rest.Seeing him in his wolf form, I knew, he and Kevin, his wolf, had fought until the very last breath.Every warrior who had gone out with him had been slaughtered, their heads sent back to us as a warning.I told myself I couldn’t afford to let that shake me.But I was lying.The sight alone had left me dismayed, my mind spiraling.With the funeral over, the next step was inevitable, my ascension as Alpha.This was what I had been trained for my w

    Death.That’s what it signified. A mighty death had taken place.The dark clouds that loomed over the pack meant only one thing.I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, fear tightening in my chest. My black eyes were wide with panic as I pushed forward. Around me, the pack was in chaos—whispers turning to frantic questions, uncertainty filling the air. But deep down, we all knew the truth.The Alpha was gone.The weight of the realization stopped me in my tracks. My heart pounded against my ribs, the sheer magnitude of it crushing.“You have to stop running, Princess Elodie.”Jessica’s voice came from behind me, breathless from chasing after me.“I don’t think your husband will want you out here like this. We have to go back inside, please.” She pleaded softly, concern etched into her voice.For a moment, I just stood there, the grief pressing down on me like an unbearable weight.Even Zoe, who always had something to say, was silent. The fear of the unknown coiled tight in my stomac

    The pack had been eerily quiet since the Alpha left. It felt as if the entire territory had turned into a graveyard overnight. No one spoke loudly, no one laughed, and the air was thick with tension. Fear lingered in every corner, creeping into our bones as we waited for news.The worst part was not knowing what would happen next.“I don’t know why we’re all so scared,” Jessica said one morning as we stood in the kitchen. She tried to sound reassuring, but the tightness in her voice betrayed her worry. “He’ll be back before we know it.”I wanted to believe her.But the silence stretched on, and the weight of uncertainty pressed down harder.I focused on preparing breakfast, my hands moving methodically as I chopped and stirred. I wasn’t cooking for myself.I was cooking for Liam.Before anyone could judge me, I had my reasons. He had barely spoken in two days since his father left. I knew he was planning something, probably his escape, but for now, he stayed. For now, he was still her

    We rushed into the head office where my father, his beta, and the council sat around a large wooden table, deep in discussion. The heavy atmosphere in the room pressed down on me the moment Andrew and I stepped inside.I forced myself to calm my racing heart as I took in the serious expressions around me. My father’s sharp eyes found mine immediately.“What is the matter?” I asked through the mind link, my tone firm.He exhaled, rubbing his temples before speaking aloud for everyone to hear. “You both need to sit down for this.”That alone made my pulse quicken. A sudden meeting like this only meant one thing, trouble.Andrew and I moved to the empty seats opposite my father. I kept my posture straight, my expression unreadable, though unease churned in my stomach.“The representatives from the New Haven pack have returned our peace offerings. Every gift, every proposal, sent back without a word.”Silence followed his statement. The weight of what it meant sank in fast. If they reject

    WILLIAMS“She liked it so much. You should have seen the way her whole face lit up the moment she saw the gesture,” Drew said as soon as we met up to walk to the combat field together.I nodded, keeping my face straight and my gaze fixed ahead.I shouldn’t care. My mind shouldn’t be filled with thoughts of how her face looked when she saw the field that was now hers. But deep down, I wanted to know.“Why didn’t you just give her the gift yourself? Trust me, she would have appreciated it more if it had come from you.” Drew’s words were casual, but they struck something inside me.I thought back to the field nights we had shared, the constant worry gnawing at me whenever she was there. It was dangerous, too dangerous for her. That was why I made this decision, why I went ahead and did it without thinking about that part of me that wanted nothing to do with her.But this past week, I had learned too much about her to ignore. She was kind, soft-hearted, and gentle in the way she interacte

    I woke up with the excitement of last night still buzzing through my body. I tried to hold back my smile, but it was impossible.Zoe was happy, and that meant I was happy too. That was all that mattered.“What’s got you smiling so early in the morning?” Jessica’s voice filled the room as she walked in, her own smile just as radiant.She was the only person I felt comfortable seeing me without makeup, without the mask I usually wore. Through her eyes, I could see the beauty my face held, even when I struggled to see it myself.“Let’s just say I slept well.” I winked at her, earning a laugh as she moved toward my dresser, sifting through my clothes. It looked like she had decided she would be picking my outfit for the day.“Oh, I almost forgot,” she added casually. “Williams stopped me on the way here. He said he wants to have breakfast with you.”My heart skipped a beat. I tried to keep my expression neutral, but the excitement that surged through me was hard to suppress.“What? Why?”
