Chapter 1

I lost our pup trying to save my fated mate, Alpha Austen. But he gave his adoptive sister, Seraphina, all the credit. He decided I was weak, unfit to be his Luna.Later, he let her poison me. Stood by and watched as my wolf spirit shattered.I died in agony. The last thing I heard was Austen, holding Seraphina in his arms."She brought this on herself," he whispered to her. "You were more than good to her. It's not your fault.""No!"I shot up, gasping, awakened from the nightmare. The room was familiar, yet strange.This was the pack's main house, where I lived when I was still Luna.I stumbled to the vanity, my own reflection staring back. My cheeks were healthy, flushed with life. No trace of the poison that had rotted me from the inside out.I was... reborn.Back to a time before my wolf had shattered, right after Seraphina had poisoned me for the first time.A sharp cramp twisted in my gut. I felt the tiny life inside me.This was before I lost my first pup.The memory of Austen'

Chapter 2

Perhaps because I hadn't shown any hostility tonight, Austen decided to move Seraphina into the main house even earlier than before."Seraphina is moving in. She just severed her bond with her ex-mate and her wolf is unstable. She needs to be looked after."Austen stood at the bedroom door. Behind him, Seraphina clutched her suitcase, a sweet smile on her face.In my last life, I fought him on it. Hard. We had a huge fight. He accused me of not caring about his pack members, of being unworthy to be his Luna.This time, with only thirty days left, I didn't care anymore."Of course," I said, closing my book with a relaxed tone. "The main house is huge. It'll be nice to have more company."Austen froze.He blinked, as if unsure of what he'd just heard."You... you agree?""Naturally." I stood up and walked over to Seraphina. "Welcome, Seraphina. I'll have the maids prepare the best room for you."Seraphina's smile faltered for a second. She clearly hadn't expected me to be so cooperative.

Morning sunlight streamed through the curtains. When I woke up, the other side of the bed was empty."Luna, you're awake." A maid knocked gently before entering. "Should I prepare breakfast?""Where's Austen?" I asked, though I already knew the answer.The maid looked a little awkward. "The Alpha spent the night at Moonlit Cliff with Miss Seraphina. He said he was calming her down. He only came back at dawn and is now in his study, buried in pack business."Moonlit Cliff.The place Austen had once promised to share only with me."Evelyn, this is our pack's sacred ground. Only the Alpha and Luna can feel the moonlight here on a full moon," a young Austen had said, holding my hand at the cliff's edge. "No one in the pack will ever disturb us.""Really?" I had smiled, leaning against his chest."I swear. Moonlit Cliff belongs only to us."Only to us.Now, he had taken another woman there."Thank you for telling me," I said to the maid, my voice so calm it surprised even me. "No breakfast

The next morning, Austen appeared at the door of my new room.He wore a formal black suit, his expression grim."Get ready. We're going to see my father."I put down my healing notes. "The old Alpha's condition has worsened?""The doctors say he might not make it through the month," he said, his voice hoarse. "He wants to see you."I nodded and got up to change.The old Alpha was the kindest elder in the pack to me. I wouldn't disappoint him."Evelyn," he called out, his eyes a storm of complex emotions. "I promise, Sera won't bother us. Today is just for us."A promise.The word sounded so ridiculous coming from him now."Fine," I replied curtly.An hour later, our car was heading toward the pack's sanatorium.Throughout the drive, Austen kept glancing at me, as if he wanted to say something but never did.I leaned against the window, watching the scenery fly by, feeling surprisingly calm.The sanatorium was an old, elegant building surrounded by a dense forest.The old Alpha's room w

Austen snatched the necklace from my hand."Lower your head, Sera," Austen said softly.Seraphina obediently lowered her head, revealing her long, pale neck.His hands were steady as he held the necklace, his focus absolute. In the fading light, he looked like a priest performing a sacred ritual.His eyes saw only her.That focused gaze, those careful movements, that gentle expression…It was exactly how he had looked when he’d placed the bonding necklace on me at our ceremony.The moonstone glowed against her skin. She looked like a real Luna, elegant and captivating."So beautiful!" the onlookers gasped."Seraphina is a natural-born Luna!""That necklace looks like it was made for her!""She deserves that title more than anyone!"Every compliment was a knife in my heart.Seraphina, surrounded by her fawning entourage, had a triumphant gleam in her eyes.She stroked the necklace, basking in the attention.Then, her eyes met mine.A look of fake panic crossed her face, as if she'd forg

The excited voices outside faded away.An invisible fist clamped around my heart, squeezing the air from my lungs. The pain spread from my chest through my entire body.Seraphina was pregnant?With Austen’s child?Two hours later, Austen finally returned.He looked flustered, but he was trying to hide it behind a mask of nonchalance."Evelyn, about Sera's pregnancy, I need to explain."I put down my book and looked at him."The baby isn't mine," he said, walking toward me, his tone certain. "It has to be her ex's. She just broke her bond with her previous mate, right? The timing fits perfectly."He said it so casually, as if it were a minor inconvenience."So?" I asked calmly."So, you don't need to worry." He sat beside me, trying to pull me into a hug. "There's nothing wrong between us. You're overthinking this."Overthinking?I looked at his matter-of-fact expression, and a wave of sadness washed over me.Did he really think a few simple words would put me at ease?Did he think I wa

Chapter 7

When I opened my eyes again, I was staring at an unfamiliar ceiling.The room smelled of herbs, nothing like the pack's infirmary."You're awake."A gentle male voice came from beside the bed.I struggled to turn my head and saw a young, blond-haired man sitting in a chair, his eyes filled with concern."Who...?" My voice was a dry whisper."Liam Grey. Senior Healer of the Neutral Healers' Alliance." He handed me a glass of water. "The Alliance sent me to investigate a surge of forbidden magic, and I found you."I took the water, my hand still shaking."How long was I out?""Ten days." Liam's expression was grave. "You were hit by a high-level curse. Your spirit wolf almost shattered completely."Ten days."My baby..." I whispered, my hand flying to my stomach."Still there," Liam said, gently placing his hand over mine. "The heartbeat is very weak, but it's alive."Just then, a sharp pain shot through my chest."Ah!""It's the Moon-Eclipse Potion," Liam’s voice was tight with alarm. "

Chapter 8

Austen's POVThe emptiness left by the broken bond made it hard to breathe.I scrambled up from the floor with only one thought in my head: find her. Find her, no matter the cost."Get the flyer ready!" I roared into my communicator. "Contact all border patrols! Lock down every exit!""Austen, you need to calm down..." Seraphina tried to grab my arm."Calm down?" I shook her hand off, my voice a low growl. "My mate is gone! She wasn't throwing a tantrum. She was escaping."The terror of being completely abandoned was driving me mad.How could she do it? How could she sever a mate bond?How much willpower did that take?And... how long had she been planning this?"Impossible..." I muttered. "She loved me. There's no way she planned to leave me..."Just as I was about to storm out, Seraphina suddenly doubled over in pain."Ah... it hurts..." She clutched her stomach, her face pale."Sera? What's wrong?""My stomach... it hurts so much..." She grabbed my sleeve weakly. "Am I... am I going

Chapter 9

Austen's POVI stormed to Seraphina's room and threw the door open, my Alpha's aura flooding the space with pressure.Seraphina was propped up in bed, looking pale and weak.When she saw me, a sweet smile spread across her face."Austen, you came to see me? I'm feeling much better, you don't have to worry..."I slammed the notebook down in front of her.It fell open, the vicious words stark on the page.Her smile froze."What. Is. This?" Each word was a low growl, a promise of violence."I... I don't know what you're talking about..." she stammered, trying to deny it."Soul-Eater! Spirit-Shatter! Kiss of Death!" I spat out the names of the forbidden poisons. "These were the 'restorative tonics' you were giving Evelyn?"Her face turned sheet-white."Sera, tell me this isn't true," I loomed over her. "Tell me you didn't hurt Evelyn.""I..." she bit her lip, tears welling up. "I never meant to hurt her...""Never meant to hurt her?" I grabbed her by the shoulders. "Then what were these po

Chapter 10

Evelyn's POVAfter the mate bond broke, my only worry was for my pup.I followed Liam to the Sacred Mountain in the neutral lands, the headquarters of the Healers' Alliance.Even though my membership was confirmed, my current rank wasn't high enough to enter the Shadowmire Swamp."Are you sure about this, Evelyn?" Liam asked, his eyes shadowed with worry. "The Triple Trial… it has broken senior healers.""I have to pass," my voice was firm. "It's the only way to become a core member and get access to the swamp."For my child, I would endure anything.In the Trial Hall, five elders sat on a high dais, the most respected figures in the Alliance."Evelyn White," the lead elder's voice was solemn. "Are you certain you wish to undertake the Triple Trial?""I am.""First, the Trial of Knowledge."A thick, ancient tome was placed before me."In one hour, you must recite chapters seven through ten of the Compendium of Ancient Herbs and explain the antidotes for any three poisons within."I ope
