10 Chapters

Chapter 1

My Alpha husband, Ryder, has always hated the sound of a crying pup.But recently, he started caring for my adopted sister's newborn pup, staying by its side in the nursery every night until dawn.Every time Ryder left our bedroom for the nursery, an inexplicable stabbing pain would pierce through my chest.This agony would last all night until dawn when he returned.I had finally reached my breaking point. At the Full Moon Festival, I announced in front of the entire pack that I was rejecting our mate bond.The pack's mind-link erupted with whispers that the battle had damaged my mind.A golden light ignited in Ryder's eyes as he stared at me in disbelief."Because I was too busy to check on you when you were injured, you're rejecting our bond over a six month old pup?"I didn't meet his eyes. Instead, my gaze lingered on the faint lipstick mark smudged inside his collar.My voice trembled, yet it did not waver."Since you love her pup so much, once our bond is severed, you can openl

Ryder's face went as white as a sheet, and he stumbled back a few steps."No, that's impossible! How could the love between us just disappear?"He shook his head frantically, his Alpha dominance flared, uncontrolled in his distress.It was only now that I realized what a truly gifted actor Ryder was.Just like now, as he suddenly lunged to wrap his arms around me from behind. "Don't go, Ember. You can't leave. I'll do right by you, I'll be twice as good to you!""Give me one more chance to prove it. I swear in the name of the Moon Goddess, I'll be a good mate to you again. Please, I'm begging you, don't abandon me."Ryder's Beta also rushed up to block my path. "Luna, the Alpha has done so much for you. You shouldn't hurt him like this. You should be the one to apologize!""The Alpha has been by your side for so many years, how can you be so cruel? Have you forgotten your passion on full moon nights?""You've spent a whole decade building this sacred bond. Have you forgotten all of tha

"If this evidence is genuine, tomorrow's trial will change everything for our pack."The Great Elder took the crystal, looking at me with a solemn expression."I have to remind you, once the Elder Council's trial begins, there is no turning back.""Are you sure you're prepared to face the consequences?"I nodded without hesitation. "I'm prepared for everything."By the time I left the council hall, night had fallen, and only a few scattered lights flickered in the pack territory.After returning to my residence, I packed a few necessities and left the pack.I had intended to stay in a hotel in the human city, but I discovered that all the pack resources I was entitled to as Luna had been frozen by Ryder.The werewolf clerk at the bank looked at me cautiously. "Luna, the Alpha ordered a suspension of all your financial privileges last night.""He said it was to protect the pack's assets and prevent you from making any impulsive decisions."My heart clenched tightly. So Ryder's revenge h

I forced myself to maintain a composed exterior even as my heart fractured. At last, a single sentence escaped my lips:"Then I'll see you at the Elder Council."Without another word, I arranged for the pack's urgent affairs to be handled and then focused all my energy on preparing for this trial that would decide my fate.Our conflict spread like wildfire through the entire North American werewolf community via the mind-link. The situation was far more serious than I had imagined.I became the treacherous Luna despised by all werewolves, while Ryder successfully crafted the perfect image of a victimized Alpha.One rumor claimed I had undergone multiple abortions to destroy the Alpha's bloodline for the sake of a rogue lover, even embezzling pack resources to fund my betrayal.Others claimed I had suffered brain damage during the fight against the invading rogues, and my inner wolf had lost control, leading to my insane actions.Waves of malicious mental energy swept over me like a bli

"My first piece of evidence." I slid a crystal across the table. "It contains the howls of my wolf on every night you claimed I was 'imagining things.' A wolf's pain, as the Elders know, cannot be faked." The Great Elder activated the crystal, and immediately the hall filled with the sound of a wolf's heartbroken cries.Raw, primal sounds of betrayal and anguish made every werewolf in the room shudder with recognition.But Ryder immediately protested, "These are all fake! She's forcing her wolf to make these sounds to manipulate everyone!"I ignored him, gestured to the second piece of evidence, the Truth Crystal, shimmering with magical light before the Elder Council.The werewolves looking on were still buzzing from Ryder's accusation, their derision echoing through the mind-link once more."She's just making things up now. If the howls were forced, this is probably fake too.""Her fate is sealed, but she's still putting up a pointless struggle..."The hall buzzed with chatter, the

Chapter 6

Ryder shot to his feet, shouting in a trembling voice, "Esteemed Elders, think about it. Even a Truth Crystal can be altered!"The furious voices in the hall quieted slightly as some pack members began to whisper."The Alpha has a point. Magical items can be tampered with.""Could the Luna have really forged the evidence?"I let out a cold laugh and pulled a scroll shimmering with silver light from my satchel.It was a certificate confirming that this Truth Crystal had been divinely blessed by the ancient witch of the Full Moon Forest, guaranteeing its absolute authenticity under the law of the Moon Goddess.The Great Elder took the certificate, examined it carefully, and nodded. "This guarantee is authentic. The recordings in this crystal cannot be altered."Ryder's Beta supporters immediately tried to win sympathy for him. "If the Luna wasn't always so busy with pack politics and neglecting the Alpha, how could he have made such a mistake?""What Alpha doesn't want to spend time with

Chapter 7

The Great Elder solemnly took the golden scroll, and the light of the Moon Goddess instantly illuminated the entire council hall."This is a paternity test report witnessed by the Moon Goddess herself. No werewolf can question its authenticity."He unrolled the scroll and announced in a loud voice, "The analysis confirms the blood relationship between the pup and Alpha Ryder is that of father and son.""The result is one hundred percent accurate, witnessed by the Moon Goddess herself."The hall instantly erupted with a thunderous roar of fury.Every werewolf was furiously cursing Ryder and Lyra in the mind-link."Liar! A complete and utter liar!""He made us wrong the Luna for so long!""A beast like that doesn't deserve to be our Alpha!"Ryder broke. He collapsed to the floor.He couldn't believe the result. He had never imagined his elaborate scheme would end like this."How could this be? How did you know the truth all along?"The Great Elder rose with great authority, his voice th

Chapter 8

Unable to contact any of Ryder's blood relatives, the physician had no choice but to mind-link me, his former Luna, to handle the situation.Looking at him lying bloody and mangled in the medical bay, I felt nothing. Not a shred of pity. I turned to leave.He weakly pulled out a communication crystal, trying to contact Lyra, but he couldn't get through.He cried out in despair, his pained howls echoing through the medical bay like those of a dying lone wolf.I didn't ask where he had wandered on the pack borders these past days, because he and I were no longer connected in any way.The mind-link was filled with accusations and curses against him. Having lost his Alpha title, Ryder was facing unprecedented scorn from the werewolf community."Shameless betrayer! Serves him right! He had a Luna and still slept with her adopted sister. Scum like that deserves to be torn to shreds!""A lone wolf who taints the bloodline should be exiled to his death! He had such a good Luna and still chose

"If she wants to see me, she has to see Ryder first and confess everything to him.""Including her true identity and her real reasons for getting close to Ryder."I agreed to my adopted sister Lyra's request to see me, but I had already sensed that she had never truly loved Ryder.My investigation had shown that Lyra had already been marked and bonded to another lone wolf. I just wanted to see the despair on Ryder's face when he learned the truth.I brought Lyra to his medical room. When Ryder saw her, his wolf eyes instantly lit up with a golden glow.He wiped away his bloody tears and struggled from the bed, lunging toward Lyra. He grabbed her wrist with a trembling hand and said with deep affection."Lyra, you finally came to see me. I knew you wouldn't abandon me.""I know you must still love me. We can run away from here together, become lone wolves. I swear I'll protect you and the child..."I realized then that the truth was far crueler than I had imagined. Now that Ryder had

Chapter 10

Later, I heard that Ryder's howls could often be heard in the wilderness. He couldn't believe he had fallen so low.He searched everywhere for a pack that would take him in, only to find that no pack would even grant him the lowest Omega status.Ryder's crime of betraying his mate and defiling his bloodline was so heinous that he had become a disgrace to the entire werewolf world.By the time he finally realized this, it was too late. He had lost everything.As a lone wolf, Ryder howled in anguish every full moon. He truly had nothing now.He had lost his Alpha status and had to endure the suffering of having no pack to protect him.I felt no sympathy for him. This was his just deserts.With his body broken and his status gone, his mind grew more and more unstable.Meanwhile, my pack, under the leadership of the new Alpha, Liam, was growing more prosperous and powerful, and new alliances brought in abundant resources.When Ryder heard the news of my improving life, he dragged his pathe
