To become Marcus's Luna, I hid my identity as Crimson Ridge pack's Alpha heiress and married him. I even begged the pack witch to suppress my bloodline, downgrading my wolf from Alpha to Beta.After I finally got pregnant, Marcus was out shopping with his omega mistress while I was being attacked by rogue wolves and losing our child.Marcus and I both carry Alpha bloodlines. That's why we haven't been able to have children all these years.I've been hiding my true identity from him, so he doesn't know the real reason. But I do.He's taken me to healing centers across every pack territory. We've tried everything. Nothing worked.I finally made the decision to give up my Alpha wolf and become a beta. I secretly returned to Crimson Ridge pack and found the pack's witch. I begged her to weaken my bloodline so I could conceive easier."Your bloodline is your birthright. As the Alpha heiress of our pack, is this really worth it?""Yes. I've thought it through completely. I just want to have

Beta Hayes was practically bouncing with excitement on the other end of the line."Miss Sage, did I hear that right? After six years away, you're really coming home? You're not messing with me, are you?"My hand rested gently on my slightly rounded belly. I smiled bitterly."I'm not messing with you. This time I'm really going back."I hung up and decided to head to the Alpha Council to handle dissolving the mate bond.But on my way there, a group of rogue wolves surrounded me. I recognized them immediately - they were Marcus's enemies. The new treaty had squeezed their resources and territory, and they wanted to use me to get back at him.They knew I was finally pregnant. Their attacks aimed straight for my stomach.But I'd given up my Alpha wolf to conceive. I couldn't fight them off.I immediately curled into a ball, wrapping my arms around my belly. My back was exposed to their claws and fangs. I could feel their talons tearing through my skin, their teeth sinking into bone.I felt

I'd barely hung up when a shadow appeared behind me.Marcus's brow furrowed tight."Where are you going?""Sage, who were you talking to? Who's picking you up at the airport?"Marcus had just come home planning to catch up on sleep, but after overhearing my conversation, he stepped forward with an aggressive interrogation.He knew I had no family in Silver Moon pack.Not even a single friend.For six years in Silver Moon pack, he was all I could depend on.During our six years together, I'd devoted myself completely to helping him strengthen the pack. I'd helped him develop Silver Moon's livestock industry, not only leaving behind the homeland I'd lived in for over twenty years, but sacrificing my entire personal life.And after he'd secured his position as Alpha, I willingly stepped into the background, focusing entirely on bearing his heir.Living for love like this, I truly was pathetic.I smiled. "Nothing important. I've been feeling restless lately, thought I'd take a trip. The we

Marcus came home that evening.He was acting completely out of character today, coming home early and replacing his usual coldness with that familiar smile I remembered.He looked at me painting in the study, a smile playing at his lips as he slowly approached from behind, trying to kiss me.I dodged him again."Sage, why do I feel like you've been avoiding me these past few days?"Then he looked at my stomach. "Has the pup been behaving better lately? I haven't seen you having much morning sickness."Of course there was no morning sickness.Because the pup was long gone. He hadn't even noticed that my belly had flattened.I laughed coldly, then turned and saw a strand of hair on Marcus's shirt. It immediately made me sick. My hair was blonde, but this strand was brown - the same color as his omega secretary's hair.Even though he'd taken off his jacket, I could still smell the cheap perfume that Ivy always wore."Move away from me. I think I'm going to be sick again."I faked morning

"No. No, no, no..."Even the hand gripping the note was trembling violently."This isn't real. She's just angry about last night.""Sage! Stop playing around!"He shouted at the empty house, his voice cracking."Come out! This joke isn't funny at all!""I know I broke our date yesterday. I'm sorry. I'll find a way to make it up to you. Don't lie to me..."But as he kept shouting, his voice grew weaker and weaker.The silence that answered him was deafening.Marcus couldn't help but recall all the time he'd spent with me. My smile when I laughed at his terrible jokes. My voice when I sang while cooking. Even my slightly furrowed brow when I was concentrating on pack business.They all haunted his mind like ghosts now.During this period, he'd been fooling around with Ivy constantly, ignoring my feelings, assuming I'd always stay by his side.He'd taken my loyalty for granted.He never thought I'd actually leave this time."She's just trying to scare me," he whispered. "She'll come back.

"Alpha heiress, Silver Moon pack's people have tracked the flight information and arrived at our territory."The crystal champagne flute in my hand paused halfway to my lips.During my welcome ceremony, I was having a pleasant conversation with former business partners when Beta Hayes whispered his report in my ear.His voice was low and urgent, but there was an underlying satisfaction in his tone."They've been asking questions at the airport, showing your photo around. Apparently Marcus himself is leading the search party."I laughed softly, the sound carrying just enough edge to make the nearby pack members glance our way with concern."It doesn't matter. This is our territory. If I don't want to be found, they'll never locate me in this lifetime."I took a deliberate sip of champagne, savoring both the taste and the moment.Hayes smiled too, his eyes gleaming with predatory amusement."Exactly. This is our domain. He won't be able to dig up any information related to you."He leane

"From now on, I'll be Silver Moon pack's Luna. I arranged all those paparazzi myself. Even if he regrets it, it's too late. Sage, I've endured this for years - if you hadn't met Marcus first, what chance would you have had?"I read through all this calmly and couldn't help but laugh.The sound made Cameron look up in concern."Are you alright, Alpha heiress?""I'm perfect," I said, still chuckling.I was about to reply to Ivy's messages when I discovered she'd already blocked me."Typical omega behavior," I muttered. "Strike and run."Only fragile omegas need to survive on male love. I was beyond caring now.Even if Marcus appeared before me right now, he'd have to bow and beg me to spare him a chance at survival, let alone some little omega.Not getting to insult her back left me feeling unsatisfied.I called Hayes over immediately."Yes, Alpha heiress?""Stop supporting Silver Moon pack's business dealings. All of them."Hayes's smile turned predatory."The livestock contracts?""Can

The words hit Ivy like physical blows.All of her joy was instantly crushed.During their three-year secret affair, Marcus had never spoken so harshly to her.He'd always been so gentle, so loving.He'd always given her whatever she wanted, buying her beautiful jewelry and cooking for her personally.She remembered all those times curled up in Marcus's arms, listening to his sweet words."You're so much more beautiful than her.""She's boring and old-fashioned.""When this is all over, you'll be my Luna."He would even abandon Sage at home to spend time with her.Though she was an omega, she had special privileges with Marcus.She didn't call him Alpha - she called him by his name.He'd always respond tenderly, making her feel special and chosen.But now that she'd finally made it to the top and was about to marry him, why had Marcus completely changed?Did he despise her now that he'd gotten what he wanted?"You said you loved me," she whispered, tears streaming down her face."Love?"

His voice came out as barely a whisper. Color drained from his face as if he'd seen a ghost.His eyes immediately reddened, and I could see his wolf struggling for control beneath the surface."Sage, how are you here? I've been looking for you everywhere!"The raw desperation in his voice made everyone in the room uncomfortable. This wasn't the composed Alpha they'd expected to meet.Beta Grant's smile widened as he looked between Marcus and me, completely misreading the situation."I had no idea you and our Alpha were old acquaintances! This is wonderful news."He clapped Marcus on the shoulder, oblivious to how Marcus flinched at the contact."Why did you go through all this trouble? If you know our Alpha personally, why come to me for help? Isn't that unnecessary?"Marcus stared at me like I was an apparition that might disappear if he blinked."Alpha?" he repeated numbly.His voice cracked as he spoke. "You... you're Crimson Ridge pack's Alpha?"The pieces were finally falling into

Marcus's breathing became labored as the truth crashed over him like a tidal wave. I could see the exact moment he understood the full scope of what he'd lost. Not just me, not just our pup, but his entire empire.His face went through several stages - confusion, realization, then absolute devastation."You mean... all those contracts... the livestock deals...""Were mine," I finished calmly. "Every single one."I looked at Beta Hayes, who was watching the scene with growing amusement and satisfaction.He smiled and said, "Not excessive at all! You're being far too kind, Alpha."Hayes crossed his arms, clearly enjoying Marcus's horror."Did you really think Silver Moon pack had that kind of influence on its own?"But Ivy hadn't grasped the situation yet. She was still caught up in her own superiority complex.She sneered, her face full of provocation and mockery."Sage, you're pathetic. You used to throw your weight around because of Marcus. What do you have left to boast about here?"
