(Lana POV)“You look breathtaking,” Alpha Diego, my newly wedded husband, the love of my life and my fated mate,brushed his hand down my bare arm as he let me into the chamber. “You really do not know how ready I am for you tonight”He murmured, his voice low, smooth and familiar. The words alone curled around my heart, soft and tender and I smiled, letting him guide me past the drapes into the room where candles floated in glass bowls of wine -red petals. Today was a really beautiful and memorable day for me, listening to the pack celebrating the union of Alpha Diego and Luna Lana of Silvercrest. Our own union— was a bliss. I was finally getting attached by marriage to the man who made me feel lucky as an omega. This was what I dreamed of. Peace, belonging, love and I was glad my father took that decision years back. A decision to hand me over to this man right here even though he was skeptical because Diego was a man of no Royal hands.“I can't believe we are finally married. The

(Lana POV)I gasped. Cold air rushed into my lungs and I clutched my chest, dragging in a breath so heavy. I forced my eyes open, scrutinizing my surroundings. I was in a room I didn't recognize. There were velvet curtains, gold framed mirrors and a faint perfume that didn't smell like mine. The room looked too regal, too alive. I pushed myself up on trembling elbows. My body felt wrong, lighter, shorter ... .my hands, slender, uncalloused, were not mine. “What—” My voice caught, it wasn't my voice. It was softer and higher. What was happening? Wasn't I supposed to be dead?My eyes fixed on the mirror beside the bed and in a swift, I rushed towards it, standing before it to find out the cruel truth. The woman staring back had pale hair my, blue icy eyes, wide and terrified. My face, my face was….my breath stilled and I stumbled toward the mirror, touching my reflection like it might shatter and set me free. ‘This isn't me.’But I knew those eyes, I had seen them before — thric

(Lana POV)“M…mate,” he rasped, the word trembling out of him, uncontrollable. Putting a shock across my face and on the crowd. Whispers turned to chaos and every gaze flicked from him to me to Amethyst, poor, trembling, beautiful Amethyst, and smiling moments again like a queen. Now, her pained lips quivered. The horror on her face was almost enough to make me laugh. Almost. “Diego?” She gasped, gripping onto her down. “What …what did you just say?”But his wolf had already taken control — Diego's eyes flared, his voice cold and possessive at that. “Mine.”The word rolled through the ballroom, causing more chaos and gasps among the pack members. For a heartbeat, no one moved and then came the shriek. It shocked through the air, loud and sharp — Amethyst's voice, filled with rage. “You Whore! You just came back today! What have you done?!”She lunged and before I could even react, her jeweled hand struck my cheek aggressively, hard enough to send sparks across my vision. The ro

(Lana POV)He just called me mate? I felt the mate bond again? How?His voice still lingered in the air and refused to fade, deep and resonant enough to make the very bones of the palace. “The king….had a mate?”“It's impossible!” “He's never taken one before.”“Why her?”Murmurs ripped through and chaos started. Why me, indeed. Why sapphire? Ashton's gaze didn't wafer, instead, it pinned me where I stood, commanding, as if the rest of the world ceased to exist. My heart hammered so loud I thought everyone could hear it. This — this change, I didn't think was coming. My lips parted, but no sound came. I was speechless because how could there be words for a force like this?This wasn't the raw, possessive pull Diego's wolf had forced upon me, this was different. Purely different. Ashton's slow steps broke the silence as the crowd parted ways while he passed nobles, guards, even Diego himself, his chest still heaving from the pain of my rejection. He stopped only when he stood

LANAWhat? Did he just call me by my name? By my real name? Did he just call me Lana? How did he know?"Are you alright, Sapphire?" Ashton asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.He called me sapphire... not Lana. I must have misheard."Y—yes. I'm fine," I answered, playing a small smile on my lips.“Luna Sapphire.”Hearing the Lycan King call me that sent a chill down my spine.It was strange. Strange and thrilling in a way I did not want to admit. The name did not belong to me, not truly, yet the way it sounded on his tongue made it feel real… dangerous, even. Like I had stepped into someone else’s destiny and the world had already accepted the lie.But then his next words echoed in my mind again. "Allow your secrets."My heart skipped once, only once. I refused to allow it do a second stumble.I cleared my throat softly and lowered my gaze, folding my hands together the way I remembered Sapphire used to do."I have no secrets, my king,” I said, keeping my voice gentle. “I am only tr

LanaI had never imagined I would step into the King’s Estate.When I was younger, my father used to tell me stories about it. He would sit beside the fire, his voice was usually low and filled with wonder, describing the place that stood just outside the city. He said it was larger than any palace, older than most kingdoms, and guarded like sacred ground. According to him, only councilors and high nobles were ever invited inside. Even powerful Alphas rarely crossed its gates unless when necessary.Back then, I had listened with wide eyes, never once thinking I would see it myself.Yet now I was on my way there but not as a guest or as a noblewoman but as the Luna.The thought sent a quiet thrill through me. Power like this was not a small thing. Standing beside the Lycan King would give me influence, protection, and reach. With that kind of strength behind me, crushing Diego and Amethyst would be an interesting walk in yhe park. Still… revenge was a dish best served slowly and cold.

LanaFabricated? Did he just say that?The word rang in my ears as I stared at the councillor who had spoken, disbelief was rising fast inside me. How could a man of rank ask such a thing? His tone was NOT curious. It was accusing and it was insulting as well.How could anyone fabricate a mate bond?I wanted to speak. I wanted to question him sharply and demand sense from his foolish mouth. But I stopped myself.I was not Lana anymore, I was supposed Sapphire. Sapphire wouldn't speak at all since she was was quiet and gentle. Sapphire wouldn't even think to challenge powerful men in council chambers.So I stayed silent.Beside me, Ashton turned his head slowly toward the speaker. “Explain,” he ordered.That single word carried weight. The room seemed to tighten around it.The councillor straightened in his seat before replying. “Your Majesty, I meant no offense. It is only… unusual. You have lived for thirty one without a mate. Then suddenly, you find one and it didn’t even happen dur

LanaMy heart skipped, but my face stayed calm.“I… I took a few lessons in my former pack.”I didn’t know too much about my new identity, only that Sapphire wasn't much liked. But still, surely it was plausible for me to be trained?He held my gaze a moment longer, then nodded slowly.I lowered my eyes, reminding myself to be careful. From now on, I will be more discreet.By the time the training ended, my arms ached badly and my breathing had grown heavy, but I refused to show it in front of Ashton.Weakness wasn't something he needed to see from me.He was standing a few steps away from me and watching silently. It was almost as if he could sense my thoughts.“Enough for today,” he said at last.Relief brushed through me, though I kept my posture straight."Are you sure? Are you tired of getting beaten by me already?" I joked with a smirk plastered on my face.I expected him to laugh, but he didn't."You're a big dreamer, Luna Sapphire," he said, his face straight and stiff. He stu

LanaThe maid’s retreating figure vanished beyond the corridor that led to the hallway.I kept my face straight and soft until she was completely gone from sight. Only then did my gaze sharpen. I needed to follow her to see where she'll go next. There might be other spies like her in the estate.“Luna, are you okay? You look a bit lost,” one of the noblewomen prompted sweetly.I turned back to them, letting my lashes lower modestly. Timing mattered. If I left too abruptly, they would get suspicious. If I lingered too long, the spy might slip away beyond reach.“Yes. I'm fine,"I replied softly, “I was only thinking and hoping to grow into someone worthy of this title.”A few of them smiled approvingly. Another reached forward and touched my sleeve lightly.“You are already worthy, Luna.”I inclined my head politely, though inwardly I counted my breaths.One.Two.Three.Enough time.“I hope you will excuse me,” I said gently. “This morning vibe has made me slightly dizzy. I think I nee

LanaI strolled back inside and fell on the bed thinking about Ashton's words."You must be ruthless."At first, I told myself he was wrong. Ruthless was never who I was. I had always been gentle, patient and peaceful. I grew up in a pack where disputes were solved with discussion, not claws. My father ruled with calm strength, not fear. I was raised to believe kindness was power.But things had changed.After Father died, that same pack began to look at me differently. The respect faded and the whispers started. They called me weak. They even called me soft. Some didn’t even bother whispering. They said it to my face.It was pathetic.I married Diego because I thought becoming his Luna would silence them. I thought power beside him would make them respect me again.Instead, he killed me.The memory still sat cold in my chest.Maybe Ashton was right.Maybe kindness alone couldn't keep a person alive.Maybe ruthlessness wasn't cruelty. Maybe it was just survival.That thought stayed wi
