Chapter 1: Rejection . "I choose Cassandra Lancaster as my Luna," Lucas stated firmly, his eyes never leaving hers.My heart stopped, and I could feel the tears pooling in my eyes. "Lucas...please," I whispered, hoping against hope that he would change his mind.We have been best friends since we were children. Despite me having had a crush on Lucas for years.But he didn't change his mind, and my world came crashing down around me. "I'm sorry, but my decision is final," he said, turning away from me.I stumbled back, the pain too much to bear. "But...we had something..." I choked out, my voice barely audible.The day before , we had a one night stand, after he became the alpha of the pack ,he took my virginity , and I thought that meant something to him.Lucas looked at me, his eyes softening just a fraction. "It was a mistake, a momentary lapse of judgment. I never meant for it to get this far," he said, his tone gentle but firm.I felt like I was suffocating. "So, that's it? You'r

Chapter 3Lilian POV: I tore it open, unfolding the letter with trembling hands."Dear Lilian,I hope this letter finds you well. I apologize for my abrupt departure earlier. It was not my intention to upset you further.I realize that seeing me must have brought up painful memories and emotions. I want you to know that I never meant to hurt you all those years ago.

Chapter 5:Lilian POV.As I opened my eyes again, I found myself chained to a bed in a small room. I tried to scream, but a cloth was stuffed in my mouth. I looked around, taking in my surroundings with horror. The walls were bare and white, and there was only a small window high up on the right side of the room. The only furniture was the bed I was chained to and a chair in the corner. Tears fell from my eyes as I realized I had no idea where I was or who had taken me.Suddenly, the door opened and Lucas entered the room. He saw I woke up and came over to me. I glared at him, my eyes full of anger."What the hell is going on?" I demand, my anger rising. "You quidnapped me?" I asked as soon as the cloth was removed from my mouth. "What kind of sick joke is this?""Please calm down, Lilian," Lucas said, his voice filled with concern."How can I calm down when I'm handcuffed and kidnapped?" I snapped "I had no other choice." He said. "I had to do it," Lucas explained, his voice pleadin

Chapter 7Lilian POV."You seem a little tense," she noted.I forced a smile. "I'm just nervous about the results."She raised an eyebrow. "What results?""The medical exams," I replied quickly. "I've been experiencing some symptoms, and I just got the results back.""Well, good luck with that," she said and walked away.I let out a sigh of relief, grateful that I had narrowly dodged the truth, I had narrowly avoided getting caught. But the stakes were high, and I had a mission to carry out. I can't let my guard down.Later, I retrieved the test results and examined them closely. "Damn it," I muttered. "Nothing conclusive."The examinations had given nothing concreteI couldn't see clearly what was wrong with Eli-Dad, and I knew I couldn't let my guard down. My job depended on it.I needed to leave, but I couldn't bear the thought of going without seeing my children. I went back to our house, but it was empty, and my heart sank. I knew Damien, my fiancé, had taken the move forward with

Chapter 9:Lilian POV."By my moon goddess! That's incredible!" I exclaimed shocked by her revelation."I can't believe it," I said, feeling stunned. "It's true. And now she's a rogue," Selena said, shaking her head. "I guess people never really change," I said, feeling a sudden sadness. "No, they don't," Selena said, looking thoughtful. "I can't believe it," I said, feeling surprised. "And she's been living on the outskirts of the pack ever since," Selena said, her eyes flashing with anger. "That's karma for her ," I said, feeling a sense of justice. "I just wanted you to know that I've moved on from that toxic friendship, and I hope we can start fresh," Selena said, looking at me hopefully. "I appreciate that, Selena," I said, feeling touched. "And I hope we can become good friends."We both fell silent then, lost in our own thoughts.
