10 Chapters

Chapter 1

Before my mating ceremony, I found out my Alpha Damon had thirty Luna candidates. He spent a month with each one, scoring them. Only the highest scorer would become his Luna.And me? His Head Beta, his lover of six years, the woman who gave him everything? I lost to a soft, submissive Omega.The door to my office slammed open.“Elysia!” A sharp voice cut through the silence.I looked up. The Omega, Lydia, strutted in on her high heels.Her cloying perfume was mixed with another scent I knew all too well.Damon’s. The smell of sex.“You didn’t knock,” I said coldly.She ignored me, walking straight to my desk and slamming a small box down.“The Alpha asked me to bring this to you.” Her voice was poisonously sweet, dripping with smug satisfaction. “He said you’ve been working so hard lately.”I stared at the box, not moving.“Aren’t you going to open it?” Lydia leaned forward, letting her scent—a mix of her and Damon—wash over me. “It’s a very pretty necklace. Of course, not as expensiv

The office door was thrown open again.It was Damon.His Alpha presence crashed into the room, thick with rage and a suffocating possessiveness.The very air grew heavy.“What did you do to Lydia?” His voice was low and dangerous.I didn’t look up. I kept working on the files on my desk.“My duty.”“Your duty?” Damon strode to my desk, planting his hands on it. “Your duty is to throw your Beta rank around with a submissive Omega?”I finally looked up at him.The face I once loved now looked like a stranger’s.“She attempted to access the war room. She has no clearance.”“So what?” His eyes flashed with impatience. “She just wanted to help.”“Help?” I stood, meeting his gaze. “An Omega trying to access the pack’s core secrets? Have you lost your mind, Damon?”His expression turned menacing.“How dare you speak to me like that?”“I’m stating a fact,” I said, my voice steady. “As Head Beta, it’s my duty to protect the pack’s secrets from outsiders.”“Outsiders?” Damon sneered. “She’s doci

Late that night, a violent shock ripped through my mind.This wasn't a mind-link. It was an invasion.Instantly, feelings that weren’t mine flooded my body.Hot skin, ragged breaths, and the feeling of being filled…“Feel that, Elysia?” Lydia’s voice echoed in my head, dripping with vicious pleasure. “This is what a real mating feels like. Pure pleasure. Something you could never give him.”I shot up in bed, severing the connection.But the sensations lingered.Damon’s hands, Damon’s kisses, Damon’s body.Sent to me, through her.That bitch.I blocked her from my mind.The next morning, I went straight to the tactical command center to confront Damon.I was going to officially reject him and leave the Blackmoon Pack.I knew he was always there at dawn, planning the pack’s strategy. No exceptions.The main door was shut.I went to a side entrance where a one-way observation crystal was set.Laughter echoed from inside.“Alpha, you were with Lydia again last night. Looks like she’s reall

After Beta left, the tribe was indeed in chaos.“Where did you go, Elysia!”Damon’s voice came through the mind-link.But I was already back in my home pack. I ignored him.Three days later, on the night of the full moon.Adrian stood before the ancient moon altar of the Thundering Peaks Pack, his silver cloak glowing in the moonlight.He was more handsome, more powerful than I remembered.“Are you sure?” he asked softly, his golden eyes full of warmth. “Once we bond, there’s no turning back.”“I’ve never been more sure.”Under the Moon Goddess’s watch, we completed the ancient mating ritual.When Adrian’s mark bit into my neck, a true mate bond, an electric current, shot through me.This was real.No magic. No deception.“You’re finally mine, my Luna,” Adrian whispered, kissing my forehead.Adrian, afraid I’d have second thoughts, had come to my pack to bond with me first. He had to leave for the Southern territories to handle pack business, but I promised I would return with him to t

Chapter 5

Damon’s POVAfter I posted the announcement canceling the ceremony, Lydia threw herself into my arms.“I’ll prove I’m a better Luna for you than she ever was,” she whispered in my ear.I pushed her away and walked to my desk.I still had a list of ten other candidates to get through. But the thought of it just left me cold.The carefully selected she-wolves sent me messages every day, but I never replied.Some nights, after a brutal day of pack business, I’d call Lydia to my chambers.I didn’t know why, but burying myself in her body was the only thing that made me feel like an Alpha anymore.Her soft moans helped me forget the day’s troubles.But the pleasure only lasted until dawn.Because after several months without Elysia, the pack was starting to fall apart.“Alpha, there’s trouble on the border again,” my second-in-command, Beta Marcus, said, walking into my office with a grim look.“What is it?”“The Silverclaw Pack just tore up our trade agreement. They said our leadership is

Chapter 6

Elysia’s POVFour months later.I gently stroked my round belly, feeling the powerful life growing inside me.The life inside me was pure Alpha. I could feel its power humming in my blood.“The Moon-Essence Herb is at the auction today,” Adrian whispered in my ear. “It’s very good for a pup’s soul development.”“Really?” My eyes lit up. “Then we have to get it.”The herb was incredibly rare, said to grow only in the deep mountains on a full moon, and it was known to strengthen an Alpha pup’s soul.The Crystal Auction House was in a neutral zone, a place where packs traded rare goods.When we arrived, the auction had already started.“I need to handle something urgent,” Adrian said, frowning at an incoming call. “You go on in. I’ll be right back.”I nodded and walked into the auction hall alone.The Moon-Essence Herb was last, so I waited patiently.Just then, a familiar voice came from behind me.“Elysia?”I turned to see Lydia on Damon’s arm.Damon looked worn out, with dark circles u

Chapter 7

Elysia’s POVDamon looked like he’d been struck by lightning.“Impossible,” he stammered. “You two… when…”“Four months ago,” I answered calmly. “Right after I returned to my home pack.”The blood drained from his face, leaving it a ghastly white. His eyes burned with a wild, cornered fury.“You… how could you…”“How could I what?” I raised an eyebrow. “Find a new mate so quickly? Or forget you so quickly?”“Six years!” he roared. “We had six years of history, and you threw it all away for him?”“Six years,” I corrected him. “Built on a lie. A magical deception from the very beginning.”Whispers erupted around the auction hall. The other packs had heard us.“A Soul-link spell?”“An Alpha cast a spell on his own Head Beta?”“Gods, a six-year charade…”Damon heard the chatter, and his face grew even darker.“Elysia, you can’t say these things here!”“Why not?” my voice rose. “Afraid people will see you for who you really are?”“That’s not true!” he denied frantically. “My feelings were r

Chapter 8

Elysia’s POVEveryone in the auction hall turned to stare at Lydia.Seeing she had everyone’s attention, she grew bolder.“It’s her fault!” she shrieked, her finger trembling as she pointed at me. “She’s the reason we lost the quarry! She leaked our bottom line to the Silverclaws—on purpose!”A wave of gasps went through the room.Losing the Moonstone territory was a massive blow for any pack.“Lydia, shut up!” Damon’s face was dark as he tried to silence her.“Why should I?” she shrieked back. “She needs to take responsibility for what she did! During the negotiations, she deliberately revealed our strategy, giving the Silverclaw Pack the upper hand!”“Enough!” Damon roared.But Lydia couldn’t stop.“You did it for revenge! Because he chose me over you! So she made sure the Blackmoon Pack would suffer! And now that she’s found a new Alpha, she thinks she can just walk away?”Her voice grew higher and more frantic.“No way! She cost you so much. She has to pay it back!”I let her finis

Chapter 9

Elysia’s POVThree months later.My belly was a heavy, perfect sphere. Our pup was due in a month.Adrian took care of my every need, even holding my arm when I walked.“A message from your friend,” he said, handing me a comm crystal.It was Maya, my friend from the Blackmoon Pack.“Elysia, you have to see this,” her voice was buzzing with gossip. “It’s about your ex.”An image appeared on the crystal.It was the Blackmoon Pack’s great hall.Damon sat at the head of the table, surrounded by a few of his men, empty bottles everywhere.“Finally free!” one of them cheered. “No one telling us when to hold meetings or when to train!”“Yeah!” another agreed. “Elysia was a damn control freak. Always breathing down our necks about patrols, training schedules... even who we were sleeping with.”“That’s how she-wolves are,” a third man slurred. “Always think they’re right about everything.”The image of Damon raised his glass.“To a new beginning!” he said, his voice drunk. “To a life with no on

Chapter 10

Elysia’s POVOne month later.A video clip spread through the werewolf world.“Blackmoon Alpha Damon Blackmoon was found passed out drunk in the snow last night, muttering to himself, ‘I’ve lost Elysia for good’…”I turned off the news and held my baby closer.My son.Adrian’s son.A pure-blooded Alpha, so powerful that every wolf in the pack could feel his presence.“He’ll be the strongest Alpha,” Adrian whispered, kissing my forehead. “Just as strong as his mother.”Knock, knock, knock—A knock at the door interrupted our peaceful moment.“Luna, you have a visitor,” the maid’s voice was nervous.The door swung open, and Lydia swept in.She was just as pregnant as I, draped in a gown so lavish it was absurd for a casual visit, and clutching a certificate like a trophy.“Congratulations, Elysia,” her voice was sickeningly sweet. “A mother at last.”I glanced at her belly.Eight months along.“What do you want?”“Business, of course,” she held up the certificate. “I wanted you to see th
