Chapter 1 The end of blind trust

VALENTINAThe mood around the pack's court is extremely tense. With doubtful gazes and smug faces bore into me like salt in my fresh wounds, I, Luna Valentina Rodriguez, sat in the middle of the questionnaire of the council.“Luna Valentina, do you have anything to say in your defence?” The stern voice of the council minister resonated in the grand hall, drawing my lowered eyes toward him."There's nothing for her to say. I, Alpha of the Shadow Crust pack, have decided already.” My husband, Atlas, said firmly. “She's here for the formalities only.”I looked up at him. Tears brimmed in my eyes as I felt a wave of warmth within my pierced heart. Even after everything, he still chose me.“But Alpha, you must realize that she is no longer a worthy Luna after—”"Enough, Minister," Atlas's voice boomed in the court hall, silencing the place like a graveyard. “Valentina is my mate and wife. She may not be in a condition to perform as a proper Luna now, but we must not forget her selfless con

Chapter 2 Realising her worth

VALENTINAThe woman standing before me looked terrifying. Her once beautiful face, now disfigured, bore a scar that marred the left side of her cheek. Her long lashes were burned during the attack.She looks horrible.A single tear traced a path down her ruined cheek. Everything in her life had been lost, thrusting her into the pain of hell.Her pearly ivory eyes scrutinised deep within my soul, reminding me of my losses that carved each of my cells with remorse and ache, screaming of my defeat and evoking memories of the past.I had left my father's protection and entrapped myself in Atlas's deadly web.I wish I could turn the time, then I would have never left my home and perhaps—perhaps accepted my father's stubborn decision of arranged marriage.For two years, there wasn't a day that passed when I didn't reach for my phone to call my father, yet dropped the idea. I was angry with him, but after losing almost everything, I felt that maybe I was wrong not to have listened to him.Bu

Chapter 3 Her rebound

VALENTINAAn anguished howl echoed, piercing the air in the room. The searing pain tore through the quiet atmosphere as I stared at the disgusting man in disdain—it was his howl of a broken bond.He had let go of his son. Kneeling on the ground, his eyes shot up at me in anger and disbelief.“Wha-at the fuck is wrong with you?” He emitted a guttural growl. His bloodshot eyes glared at me.My fists clenched, my nails digging into my soft flesh. With a tight, throbbing heart, I felt the twist of the shattered bond within me.The bond I swore to cherish for a lifetime, I broke today. The pain was intense, but it could not be compared to the anguish of betrayal.I swallowed the burning ache in my soul. My lips twitched at his suffering. "Karma," I murmured. "I rejected you, Atlas Darwin This is where your manipulation ends.”Atlas stood up; since my wolf spirit dissipated, the weakness of rejection didn't linger long."But why would you do that? Who gave you the right to reject me?" His t

Chapter 4 Home, sweet home

** The city, pack, and kingdom's names used here are the author's invention and have no connection with reality. **————————VALENTINA“Drinks, ma'am?” The polite voice of the air hostess caught my attention.“No, thanks.” I shook my head at her, flashing a smile that hid beneath my black mask.The air hostess politely approached the other passengers with a nod. I sighed and gazed out the small window of the aeroplane.I am returning to my home, the place where I truly belong…Except for the white clouds in the bright daylight, I could see nothing. It is basically pointless to look out. So, pulling down the cover, I carefully picked up the magazine I had taken from the airport.The new Ohio actress has been in the news lately. She's trending on all news channels and in magazines. However, the second I turned the page, I discovered a different face—a man with devilish charm.He is Andres Donovan, the Supreme regent of all wolves—he's the Lycan King.This magazine recently published an

Chapter 5 A bad feeling

VALENTINAUncle Samuel visibly froze. His gray eyes darted to me as his lips quivered at the sudden realization… “Val?” he whispered in a daze.A droplet of tears slipped down my cheek as my eyelashes shivered at the recognition. "Uncle..." I murmured again.“I-is it you, Val?” He hurriedly stepped toward me as the guards moved aside, confusedly.“Ye-es uncle,” My voice shivered. "It's me, your Val." My uncle recognized me!“You've finally returned.” His cold gray gaze softened with his usual affection, which somewhat calmed my troubled heart. At least, I am still alive in my uncle's affections.Perhaps I still have a chance.Uncle Samuel embraced me warmly and tightly, offering much comfort. This acceptance matters to me greatly.Uncle Sam isn't just the most promising beta of the Ebbon Moon Clan, he's also my father's best friend of twenty-five years. My father considers him more of a brother than a friend."You've changed a lot in two years, little berry," he said, and the endearme

Chapter 6 Best friend

VALENTINAThe healer put down my report on the table and nodded solemnly. “Yes, there is a chance. Your wolf is not dead yet”A tight knot formed in my throat. Renewed hope surged within me as I glanced at my father and uncle. They also looked hopeful."Then why can't we sense her wolf?" Papa asked. "Why isn't she responding?”"Although she isn't dead, she's deeply injured, which has faded her existence and disconnected them. You can also consider it a comatose state," the doctor explained. "But rest assured, with treatment and proper training, the bond could be reestablished. It will take time, patience, and determination.”The wave of relief washed over me, and tightly held tears finally spilt from my eyes. I covered my face and cried again. After so long, I am shedding happy tears.I felt my father's warmth. His hug and tenderness made me cry harder. "Hey, baby, you'll be fine. I've got you," Papa whispered in my ear and caressed me gently.I felt so safe and secure, which Atlas co

Chapter 7 I will make them pay...

VALENTINA“Fine?” Audrey's eyes filled with disbelief. “After everything that bastard did to you, how can you sit so calmly, Val? You should take revenge!” she suggested strongly. Her eyes blazed with venomous fury and felt capable of burning anything.I shook my head, hugging my knees closely. "No, Rey, not at the moment, at least," I murmured. "I don't want to do anything with him—not even for a second.”"So you're letting him go just like that after he broke you like this?” Audrey sounded disappointed and frustrated.“I never said that.” I looked up at her, my stance serious and determined. “Atlas will pay for what he did; it’s just not now.”"At the moment, I only want to focus on myself and my loved ones. I want to concentrate on reconnecting with my inner self. Trying for revenge now will only cause problems; besides, I can't directly prove anything against him. So, a clean break is the best outcome for now," I explained word by word.Rey stayed silent for some time, and then, m

Chapter 8 Unexpected collision

VALENTINAAudrey and I went out. She took me to the new chicken shops. I liked them, but the taste of Z&Z is the best. Though I desired to go to Z&Z, I didn't want to make Rey uncomfortable. I must find out what's going on.She also showed me the new park in the pack, and it looked fun. We visited the parlour for a spa also, I cut my hair short just like before and to enhance it more I got some highlights as well. This new look of mine gave me more confidence and added meaning to my new beginning.Then, Rey took me to the biggest mall in our city, located in our pack. The mall was the same, just a bit renovated.“Oh wow,” I gasped at the new lounge of sundresses. They are my favourites since Grimaker is a more humid city. “Let's buy some!” I excitedly wanted to go there, but Rey dragged me in the opposite direction."No, let's go there!" She pointed at the gown boutique. "This is the new one from the best designer, Sasha! I've always wanted to go there, but I never had a chance. Let's

Chapter 9 The new threats

VALENTINAI have many questions, yet I hesitate, seeing Rey's devastated situation. She had stopped crying after those girls left, and I paid for both our gowns. Now we are walking toward the jewelry store.I glanced at Audrey. She was unusually quiet and looked haggard, which heightened my guilt and remorse.What the bloody hell happened in this peaceful pack after I left?After a while, I could no longer deny the tension and made her sit on a bench near a food court, looking at her intently. “After that, you must tell me what is going on in this pack,” I asked sternly, making my words bear the ‘I won’t take no for an answer’ vibe.“How dare those girls disrespect the Alpha's daughter, and worse, bullied?” A fit of anger spread within me as I recalled the scene. Those fucking useless bitchs.Audrey lowered her head; her eyes dimmed as she spoke: “Two years ago, after you left, Alpha fell silent. He stopped going out much and somewhat shut himself in. A year passed like that until, a

Chapter 10 This is the price...

VALENTINA“Alpha, what brings you here?” Carmella spoke sweetly, lifting her head with a sweet, sultry smile.I was surprised by the sudden, swift change in her tone of voice.My father looked around, then his gaze settled on me. Our eyes met, and a chilling sensation in his eyes made my heart sink. I suddenly felt anxious for some reason.“Leave them.” His icy tone reverberated through the store, and the guards promptly released Rey and me.“What's going on here?” He inquired, his eyes scanning me up and down before turning to Carmella. “Who are you throwing to the dungeon?”Carmella sent me a distasteful look before stepping forward, “Oh Alpha, you don't need to bother about such silly matters. These girls were trying to steal.”Papa gave her a sturdy look before turning to me. “And what did she steal?”“Alpha, you don't need to bother—” She tried to interrupt, but Papa's cold glance paused her.“What did she steal?” He stretched his words calmly. Even if no one knows, I know he is
