Semua Bab I Was His Luna, Until He Chose Her Pup Over Ours: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Sebastian hadn't come home all night. I only saw him the next morning, on Roxanne's social media. In the photo, he was celebrating with her and her family. Everyone's faces were glowing with happiness. Roxanne stood at the center, while Sebastian looked at her with tenderness. The caption read, "A successful prenatal checkup today!"The words struck me as ironic. It was as if the pup in her womb were the healthy one. It turned out that Sebastian's idea of accompanying Roxanne to her prenatal checkup included celebrating with her entire family. I was his fated mate, carrying his pup. Yet, I was left alone in an empty house. At that thought, I let out a bitter, hoarse laugh that didn't even sound human. …Following the instructions sent by Donovan, I trudged toward the bank's hidden vault. My hands shook as I slid the heavy key into the lock. The vault gave a faint shudder, then slowly opened. Inside lay a delicate crystal vial filled with a pale, dreamlike purple liq

Only five days remained before I would leave Sebastian. That day, I formally tendered my resignation to the pack's council of elders, asking to step down as Luna. Around the long table, the elders stared at me in disbelief. "Luna Olivia, why so sudden?" one asked, his voice heavy with regret. "You were born with the gift to communicate with the Moon Goddess. You're an irreplaceable guide for this pack."I lowered my head slightly. "The curse has drained my soul energy, and I can no longer hear the Moon Goddess's guidance clearly. I refuse to be a Luna in name only, a figurehead who drags down the pack."I spoke calmly, but every word carried resolve.The elders exchanged uneasy glances. In the end, all they could do was sigh and approve my request. When I stepped out of the council chamber, I took a deep breath. Then, I headed home. …The moment I opened the door, laughter rang out from the living room. Sebastian and Roxanne were on the couch. She recounted the amusing

Sebastian couldn't believe his ears. I was dead. He hadn't even begun to process the sudden, crushing news when the doors to the delivery room burst open again. Another healer rushed out. His face was pale, and his voice trembled as he said, "Alpha Sebastian… Luna Olivia's pup didn't make it either. It was stillborn."The two devastating pieces of news hit him like a punch to the gut, and he staggered backward."That's impossible!"His eyes burned red, like a beast provoked. He barreled past everyone and charged into the delivery room. Right away, the metallic tang of blood enveloped Sebastian, making it hard to breathe. I lay lifeless on the bed. My face was ghostly pale, with dark shadows under my closed eyes. Beside me, a small tray held a tiny body wrapped in white cloth. It was the pup he had never even seen. "Olivia!" he screamed as he rushed forward. His hands trembled as he reached for my face, only to freeze in midair. Then, Sebastian spun around, his Alpha pr

Five years later, in the Temple of the Moon, I guided Noah through his daily soul energy training in the enchanted forest behind the hill. "Mommy, I heard the willow tree singing. It said it loved today's sunlight. And among the highest branches, a little bluebird is sleeping," Noah said with his eyes closed, a trace of pride in his voice.I opened my eyes, smiling as I stroked his head. "Your senses are sharp. Remember this feeling. This is how you speak to all living things, and how you hear the Moon Goddess's whispers."Five years had been enough to change me completely. I was no longer the Luna who had humbled herself for love. Under the protection of the Temple's magical wards, the blood magic curse that had plagued me was cleansed. My soul energy had not only fully recovered but grown stronger than ever. Over the years, I had occasionally taken requests from other packs. I consulted the Moon Goddess to provide guidance, helping them avoid disasters and cure plagues. Eve

Sebastian led the way, guiding me to a quiet room that had long been prepared. As soon as the door closed, shutting us off from the world outside, he could no longer maintain his Alpha's authority.At such close range, my scent was unmistakable. He almost knew for certain that beneath the veil was the woman he had longed for over the past five years. "Olivia, is that you?" Sebastian asked, his voice trembling. He stepped forward to grab me but froze abruptly. Pain and regret brimmed in his eyes as he said, "It really is you! You're alive! I've missed you so much!"His words tumbled out as he began to apologize, trying to explain everything that had happened five years ago. "I'm sorry, Olivia. I was wrong. Back then, all I wanted was to save Roxanne. I never meant to hurt you. I assumed you'd understand because you were so kind. I never imagined things would turn out this way. "Not a single day has passed in these five years without regret. When you left, our mate bond was s
