All Chapters of The Moonlight of Betrayal: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

My family was attacked by rogue wolves when we entered their territory. My wolf was gravely injured, and in the end, I was the one who saved everyone.As I collapsed, exhausted, no one came to me—they all ran to my adopted sister, Fiona, fussing over a few shallow scratches.By the time pack members carried me to the infirmary, the healer delivered the cruel news: my wolf had been struck by a silver dagger, and the one-month-old pup in my womb wouldn’t survive.Yet my mate, Luke, had given the only life-saving treatment to Fiona.With no other choice, I refused the healer’s remedies and numbed my wolf’s pain with crude herbs—knowing it would only buy us three days before death.In those last days, I let everything go.I gave Fiona all my possessions and insurance money while my parents smiled in approval. I signed the bond-severing agreement Luke slid across the table without a second thought. Luke was satisfied, believing I was considerate.Kane, my brother, nodded his head when I to

"Emma…" Luke's voice was uncharacteristically hesitant."You’re really giving everything to Fiona? Your companies… even your insurance?"His confusion caught me off guard.This was my mate who had always insisted Fiona deserved more—who had never once questioned her lies. Now, of all times, he hesitates?Then Father shattered the silence, his voice dripping with approval."Emma, finally, you’re being the sister you should have been all along! If only you’d shown this kindness sooner. It’s a relief to see you’re no longer so… selfish."Kane’s lips curled into a smile—one he hadn’t wasted on me in years."Yes, Emma. Family should take care of each other. I’m glad you’ve finally learned that."Their joy should have gutted me. But all I felt was a hollow ache.Not for the wealth I’d lost—but for the answer to a question I already knew.Would they even care when the truth came out?Then the blood came.A slow, warm trickle from my nose stained my clothes crimson."Emma?!" Mother’s voice was

Fiona lounged on her infirmary bed, half-watching a soap opera, when the door exploded inward. Her blood turned to ice.David - the man who'd abandoned her at birth - stood framed in the doorway, his familiar sneer twisting features she'd tried so hard to forget."What do you want?" Her voice dripped venom, but her fingers dug into the sheets.His laugh scraped like nails on stone. "Still playing the victim? If I hadn't dumped you at Shadow Pack, you'd never have conned your way into this rich family.""Five million. Transferred by Friday." She launched upright, monitors beeping wildly. "After twenty-six years, now you remember you have a daughter?"David settled into the visitor's chair like a king claiming his throne."I know about the forged signatures. The stolen jewelry. That little incident with the maid's pregnancy." His smile turned feral. "Pay me, or everyone learns how you really became the 'favored daughter.'"Fiona’s wolf was frightened to tremble as her pulse spiked. "

Mom stared blankly at the infirmary wall, only jerking back to reality when her mate shouted her name for the third time. "What's wrong with you?" Dad asked in a hurry, his voice cracking. Mom blinked as if fighting off a trance. "Did you get through to Emma yet?" Dad's face twisted. "Still fucking switched off for two whole days!" He ground his temples with calloused fingers. "You know she'd never—" Mom's nails drew crescent moons in her palms. The scene burned behind her eyelids: Emma signing the transfer documents, shoving Jim into Fiona's arms... then disappearing into thin air. Then she totally disappeared.Their little she-wolf never stayed out overnight before. Never let a call go unanswered. No, their Emma must meet some problems.Panic clawed up mom’s throat as her wolf whimpered in her chest—a primal dread she couldn’t outrun. Kane’s forehead glistened with sweat, his body shaking like a leaf in a storm.Somewhere deep in his bones, he knew: his sister

Luke had been drowning himself in wine at home ever since he learned of my death. Jim, too, was overwhelmed with grief when his father broke the news. He had no idea how to console Luke, who was consumed by regret and sorrow. In his drunken rage, Luke slammed and shattered everything in sight. Jim was also eaten alive by guilt—haunted by the harsh words he’d said to me before I collapsed. Tears welled up in his eyes as the crushing reality set in: he would never see me again. Then—the phone rang, shattering the silence. Luke ignored it, gripping the bottle tighter. Nothing could pull him away from the alcohol—his only escape from a world that had taken me from him. By the tenth ring, his patience snapped. Before he could even speak, a cold voice cut through: "Is it Luke, Emma’s mate?" At the sound of my name, he sobered instantly. The voice remained icy. "This is Alice, Emma’s lawyer. Bring your documents and come see me immediately. And gather her family—Kane, Fiona,
