BOOK ONE: Chapter 0001

•CATHERINE•I watched with pride at the decoration of the pack’s gathering hall. The royal blue drapes, the white lilies, and the delicate embroidery on the tablecloths were exactly how Leo would have wanted it: elegant with royal embroidery.Beside me was Lila, my right-hand maid, and she smiled at the work we had done since morning. The pack’s anniversary celebration was in an hour, and I wanted to ensure that it met Leo’s expectations.“Alpha Leo would love the setting, Luna. He will be impressed with the wonderful work you’ve done,” she complimented me as if I had done the work alone.“Oh, Lila,” I chuckled as we cleared the materials that were left. “You also deserve credit for what we’ve done. You’re the one who thought of the blue curtains. I doubt it would’ve looked this elegant and royal if it weren’t for you.”“Thank you, Luna.” She bowed her head even though I had told her a million times that there was no need for her to do that.We walked out of the pack’s gathering hall

•CATHERINE•Leo flashed a proud smile as he gestured toward the woman standing beside him. “This is Mary Whitlock, Cat. She’s the genius behind the Omega Academy.” He introduced her after his speech. “Our warriors wouldn’t be half as skilled if it weren’t for her. I’m planning to announce her as one of us tonight. Once she’s linked to the pack, she’ll be able to communicate with everyone.”I blinked. “Wait, I thought we could only accept new wolves through marriage or if they were rogues. Are we bending that rule for Miss Whitlock?” I tried to control my tone, but the emotional connection I felt between them caused my stomach to sink.The whispers behind me stung worse than any claw.“Poor Luna.”“She still doesn’t see it.”“She’s just a title now.”The whispers slid through the room like smoke. I didn’t need to hear the words to know what they were saying. Pity. Disbelief.I kept my chin high. A Luna doesn’t crumble in front of her pack.Leo’s voice cut through my thoughts. “Our warr

•CATHERINE•“Hey, baby,” I greeted Brian with a quick kiss on the cheek. Usually, he’d light up the second he saw me, but today, nothing. He didn’t even flinch, just stared at the TV with a grin plastered on his face.“Did you have breakfast?” I asked.He nodded without looking at me, eyes glued to whatever was on the screen. It felt off because Brian always ran to me in the mornings, but maybe he was just upset because I’d slept late.“Who made you breakfast, sweetheart? I thought you’d wait for Mommy, like we always do.”“Mary already made me breakfast. I’m full.” He glanced at me once before turning back to the TV.My heart dropped. The words shouldn’t have stung, any kind she-wolf could cook for the pack. But hearing her name in my son’s mouth sent a flicker of unease through me.Before I could stop myself, I marched to the guest room, the one Leo had given her. Her door was slightly open when I strode inside and slammed the door behind me so she’d be aware of my presence.She was

Chapter 0004

•CATHERINE• The night after Leo told me he loved another woman, sleep never came. I lay awake listening to the house settle and wondered how long I had been living beside a stranger. Every memory felt rewritten now: his late nights, the distant smiles, the silences that stretched too long. I had called them stress, duty, and exhaustion. But maybe they’d all been signs of goodbye. By morning, I told myself I’d face the day as Luna — not as the wife he discarded. Brian needed me to be steady. I didn’t expect the first thing I’d hear to be my son’s voice saying— “I want Mary to read my favorite story before getting up.” I froze. “Brian—” I sat down beside him on the bed, trying to keep my voice steady. “Sweetheart, I’ve read you stories since you were a baby. You wanted no one else to do it, not even your father. What has changed?” Brian was six now, and I had raised him since he was a newborn, pouring everything I had into loving him like he was my blood. From the moment I first

Chapter 0005

•LEO•“Hmm. Yes, ah...” Mary’s moans were music to my ears, and I thrust faster inside her as I felt my release approaching. I exploded inside her, releasing every drop into her.She wrapped her legs tightly around my waist and rolled her eyes to the back of her head before she released me from her grip.“Ah... fuck.” I slowly pulled out and collapsed next to her on the bed, trying to catch my breath. We had been making love since morning, and I enjoyed every second I spent inside her.After a little while, she nestled her head on my chest and giggled. “I can’t believe we can be together now with no one standing in our way. I had grown tired of waiting for a chance for us to be together, and now that will happen. Once Catherine signs the divorce papers, we will be free to get married and be a family together with our son.”My heart broke a little when I remembered the look on Catherine’s face when I told her about the divorce and Mary being Brian’s biological mother.But I got rid of
