Chapter 4

Author: Jessie Z
"Liliana? Liliana!"

I woke to the sound of Emory's trembling voice. He was sitting by my bed, his eyes bloodshot as if he hadn't slept all night.

"How are you?" he asked, his voice shaking. "The Pack Healer said you're extremely weak. What's going on?"

It was the first time in years I had seen him so worried about me. I didn't answer, just looked at him in silence.

He immediately started diagnosing me himself. "It must be because you're always so paranoid and stressed. That's why you're so weak. I've already arranged for the high priest to give you a full examination. You need to get rid of this awful temper."

"Alpha!" One of Ophelia's guards rushed in. "Miss Ophelia is coughing up blood!"

Emory's face went pale. He shot to his feet, ready to leave. He glanced at my ashen face and hesitated.

"Go," I said, pressing the call button by the bed. "Ophelia needs you more. A nurse can take care of me."

My quiet calm seemed to throw him off, leaving his prepared excuses to die on his tongue. He gave me one last, deep look, then strode out of the room.

A middle-aged she-wolf nurse came in shortly after. "Luna, your condition is critical. You'll need a family member with you for the follow-up treatments," she said, flipping through my chart. "Where is the Alpha?"

"I don't have a husband," I said quietly. "Just arrange a caregiver for me."

I knew how this went. Emory was busy with Ophelia. He had no time for me. The nurse looked startled but nodded.

I didn't expect to see Emory again so soon. He kicked the door open and stormed in, his eyes blazing with fury.

"Liliana!" he roared. "I was so wrong about you! I never knew you were vicious enough to want Ophelia dead!"

"I didn't," I said, meeting his gaze without flinching.

"Still lying!" he snarled, grabbing my shoulders. "If you hadn't pushed her—"

"The pack house has security cameras," I cut him off, ignoring the pain in my shoulders. "You can check the footage."

Emory faltered for a second, a flicker of doubt in his eyes. Just then, Leo ran in, his little face flushed with anger.

"Mommy's lying!" he shouted, pointing at me. "I saw her! She grabbed Auntie Ophelia's hand and made her fall on purpose!"

His words sealed my fate.

"You venomous bitch!" Emory yanked me out of bed. The IV line ripped from my arm, and blood streamed down my hand as tubes clattered to the floor. "Get on your knees outside Ophelia's house and repent!"

Seeing the blood and my crumpled state, Leo grabbed his father's sleeve, a flash of panic in his eyes. "Daddy..."

But in the end, he said nothing more.

  • Your Luna’s Final Goodbye   Chapter 20

    On the night of our seventh-anniversary gala, the entire Riverwood estate was aglow with lights, the driveway lined with luxury cars.I wore a custom-made starlight gown Caleb had designed for me. With his arm around me, I felt like I was living in a fairytale.“I’m going to greet my parents at the gate. I’ll be right back,” Caleb said, kissing my forehead.“Okay. I’ll wait for you here.”After he left, I stood near the entrance, accepting the congratulations and compliments of our guests with a smile.That’s when I saw him. A small figure standing in the shadows under a dim streetlight.It was Leo.He was just standing there, staring at me with a look of such pitiful longing.I hesitated, then sighed and walked over. I told myself I couldn’t just leave a small child out here alone.I knelt down. “What are you doing out here? Where’s your father?”Leo looked up, his eyes swimming with tears and guilt. “Mommy… I’m so sorry…”“What?”Before I could react, I felt a sharp prick in my neck.

  • Your Luna’s Final Goodbye   Chapter 19

    Liliana’s POVThat weekend, I took Lily shopping at the biggest mall in the pack’s central plaza. I wanted to buy new outfits for her and Caleb for the upcoming anniversary party.“Mommy, I want that bunny!” Lily squealed, pointing at an adorable stuffed animal in a shop window.I smiled and nodded, leading her toward the store.By now, my memories as Aurora had completely taken over. But sometimes, when I looked at Lily, a strange thought would flicker through my mind. It felt like I had another child, a boy who didn't like me, who even hated me.But the thought would vanish as quickly as it came.Suddenly, I felt a pair of intense eyes on me.I turned instinctively and saw a haggard-looking man holding a little boy’s hand, both staring at me from a distance. The grief in their eyes was unsettling.Confused and wary, I watched as the man approached, forcing a weak smile.“Hello. I’m Emory, Alpha of the Blackwood pack. This is my son, Leo. We’re here for the Riverwood pack’s celebratio

    Emory’s POVMeanwhile, in the Blackwood pack’s hospital, the air was thick with tension.“Useless! Absolutely useless!”Emory’s father stood over his hospital bed, pointing a finger at his son, who had just been cleared from critical condition.“Trying to kill yourself over some cheating whore! Do you have any dignity as an Alpha? You’ve shamed the entire Blackwood name!”His mother was dabbing at her eyes, though her words were just as sharp. “You can’t just go hurting yourself! Who will lead the pack? Are you trying to kill us with worry?”On the bed, Emory’s face was ashen, his chest wrapped in thick bandages. The pack healers said he had been inches from death.But there was no relief on his face, only a dead, empty calm.Losing Liliana and his own brush with death had shown him what a fool he had been.He had loved her from the moment he saw her, but his pride, his stupid ego, had made him push her away again and again.He had killed her.He could never forgive himself. And he wou

    A week had passed since I woke up.I could feel my body growing stronger every day, my energy returning with a rush.But Caleb seemed to have grown accustomed to taking care of my every need.He had cancelled almost all of his work to stay by my side.He would feed me the bitter medicine himself, gently massage my legs when they ached, and hold me from behind when he found me staring out the window, whispering stories of our past into my ear.“This is your favorite strawberry cake. I had it brought from your favorite bakery.”“Lily drew a picture for you today. It’s of us at the beach.”Sometimes, his insecurity would show. The first thing he did every morning was check my temperature, and he would kiss me until I was breathless, as if to confirm I was real. I knew he was afraid my memories were jumbled, that I might have forgotten my love for him, so I let him.And Lily was my sweet little shadow. The first thing she did after school was run to my room and chatter away about her day,

    “Aurora…”The moment I said his name, tears streamed down Caleb’s face.This was the Alpha of the Riverwood pack, a man feared and respected in the world of business, now crying like a child.He pulled me into a fierce hug, holding me like a priceless treasure he’d finally gotten back, yet he was so careful, so gentle, as if afraid he might break me.“Thank the Goddess… thank you… you’re finally back…”As I felt the frantic beat of his heart against my chest, the fragmented memories of my life as Aurora began to click into place.I was Aurora, the beloved princess of the Silver Moon pack.My life had been a fairytale, the envy of every wolf.Years ago, at a festival, I had seen Caleb—then the leader of a small, unremarkable pack—and had fallen for him instantly. I was overjoyed when I discovered he was my fated mate.I had gone straight to my father and said, “I’m going to marry him.”Everyone thought it was just a princess’s whim. Many mocked Caleb, saying he was just using me to clim

    Ophelia thrashed in the air, her face turning from red to a deep purple as she kicked wildly.Just as her eyes were rolling back into her head, Emory let go.She collapsed to the floor like a puppet with its strings cut, gasping and coughing violently.“I’ve changed my mind. I’m not going to kill you,” Emory said, looking down at her as if she were dirt. “Death is too easy for you.”“Guards!”A dozen heavily armed Blackwood guards stormed into the room.“Cut her tendons. Cripple her wolf. Throw her in the Pit of Vipers,” Emory ordered, his voice devoid of all emotion. “I want her to feel every second of her agony, unable to even die.”Ophelia’s eyes widened in terror. “No! Emory, you can’t do this to me!”The guards dragged her away, her screams echoing through the hall.Silence fell once more.Leo looked at his father and whimpered, “Daddy…”Emory turned, his heart shattering at the sight of his son’s tear-streaked face.He knelt, wanting to wipe the tears away, but his hand froze mid
