Chapter 1

My fated mate, Alpha Rylan, slammed on the brakes. His face was a thundercloud. "Get out." We were on a desolate mountain road, miles from anywhere.I stared at him in disbelief. "Rylan, are you insane? We're thirty kilometers from our Black Stone territory, and—""And this is a rival pack's turf?" He cocked a mocking eyebrow. "Then you'd better start running. If you find some trouble, try flashing one of those sweet little smiles. See who bothers to save you."The doors unlocked. He sped off, leaving me in a cloud of dust."You were talking to that beta for too long at the meeting! Rylan's wolf is burning with jealousy, he's going crazy!" Echo's voice echoed in my head, her usual frantic, placating tone."He loves you! Echo insisted. That's why he's losing control! He's shifting right now, tearing through the forest to burn off this jealousy. He just doesn't know how to show it!"The cold mountain wind bit through my thin formal dress. I hugged myself, a lump forming in my throat.Sev

"No! You can't do this!"For the first time, Echo's voice was laced with pure terror."Aveline, are you insane? He's our fated mate! If the soul bond is broken, your own wolf will be destroyed by the backlash!"I calmly hung up, ignoring Echo's roars."Are you listening to me?" Her voice grew more hysterical. "Seven years! Seven years of being bonded! You're going to throw it all away because you're angry?""It's not just anger," I whispered to myself, looking at my burned hand. "It's ninety-nine moments of despair, and one final heartbreak."An hour later, an emissary from the Elders arrived with the ritual documents."Luna, you have thirty days to get your Alpha's seal on this document. Once it's signed, we can schedule the ceremony. If he refuses, the request is void," the young Beta said respectfully, handing me the parchment."Don't sign it! I'm begging you!" Echo howled. "He loves you! He just doesn't know how to show it! He'll change!"I signed my name on the document.For the n

I took a step forward. "That's none of your business."But she just laughed and threw the design on the floor.Her hand snaked to her waist, where a small, silver dagger was hidden."Perhaps it's time for a new one."Before I could react, she dragged the dagger across her own wrist, creating a gash deep enough to show bone.“Are you crazy?!” I rushed her.But she’d been waiting for it. The moment I was in reach, she whipped the vial of green liquid toward my neck.The burning drops splashed against my skin, landing squarely on my mate’s mark.Searing pain, like a hot brand, ripped through my neck. I collapsed, clutching the spot where our bond was being burned away by her poison.Morrigan's eyes glinted with triumph as she admired her work.But in the next second, she dropped the dagger, clutched her bleeding wrist, and let out a piercing scream."Help! Aveline is trying to kill me! "Footsteps thundered up the stairs, and Rylan burst into the room.He saw Morrigan crumpled on the floo

"That's not real!" Echo shrieked in my mind. "It's just a fantasy! He's just trying to tell you that he wants you to be stronger! He's trying to motivate you! The one he truly cherishes is still you!"But I wasn't listening anymore.In front of every powerful wolf in the nation, he had just crucified me—his true, flawed Luna—on a pillar of public shame."Hold on," a discordant voice cut through the stunned silence.Alpha Marcus of the Blood Moon pack stood up. He was Rylan's old rival, and his eyes gleamed with malice."Since Alpha Rylan cherishes this mighty warrior so much, why don't we see her skills for ourselves?" He raised his glass. "I, as Alpha of the Blood Moon pack, issue a challenge of honor to Morrigan!"The hall went silent.Everyone knew Marcus was a veteran Alpha, his power at its peak.This was a death sentence.Morrigan's face went white."This is his chance!" Echo's voice grew excited. "I can hear his thoughts! He's going to refuse! To protect you, his true mate, he's

Chapter 5

The white light of the medical wing stung my eyes again.I tried to sit up, and every bone screamed. The wolfsbane poison still clung to me, choking my healing to a near standstill."You're awake."My heart stopped at the familiar voice.Rylan sat by the bed, his eyes sunken and bloodshot.He looked like he hadn't slept in days.But the moment our eyes met, the concern vanished. The mask of the indifferent Alpha slammed back into place."How are your injuries?" His voice was devoid of warmth."Still alive.""He's been here the whole time!" Echo insisted, her voice frantic. "He never left your side! He's just putting on a front! He can't show weakness, don't you see? It's killing him to act this cold!"I ignored Echo and reached for the glass of water on the nightstand.My elbow knocked a small briefcase off the table.Clatter.It fell to the floor, spilling its contents.A few changes of clothes, some personal items, and... a thick stack of parchment.My severing application.Rylan ben

At three in the morning, a frantic mind-link message jolted me from my light sleep."Luna, you need to get to the Silver Moon Club, third floor! The Alpha's in trouble!" The frantic thoughts belonged to Leo, Rylan's Beta."What is it?""He's been poisoned! Moon-frenzy! It's bad, Luna. Only you can help him!"Moon-frenzy.My blood ran cold.It was a dangerous poison that made an Alpha wolf lose all reason, leaving only the most primal urge to mate.If he didn't bond with his fated mate to channel that violent energy, he could suffer permanent soul damage, or his power could surge and literally tear him apart.I grabbed my coat and bolted out the door.The Silver Moon Club was an exclusive place for high-ranking wolves. I'd never been.I sprinted up to the third floor. The hallway was dead silent.Leo was standing at the far end. When he saw me, a flicker of guilt—or was it fear?—flashed in his eyes before he looked away."Where is he?" I demanded."Room 306," he said, pointing to a half

Chapter 7

The moment I learned the truth, something inside me died for good.So, my seven years of devotion, my ninety-nine moments of tolerance, were nothing more than a game of possession to him, something that needed constant "stimulation" to keep it "alight."How pathetic. I had actually considered postponing my departure.Back at the manor, I erased the last traces of my existence.Bank accounts were emptied and closed.My assets within the pack were transferred through secret channels.I contacted my only friend, Mia. A lone wolf, a mysterious figure who moved between packs. I asked her for a way out—a route to the human world.It was a sanctuary. A place our kind didn't go.A place for my own dreams, free from pack politics."Are you sure about this?" Mia's voice came over the link. "You're really just walking away from it all? From being the Luna?""I'm sure," my voice was flat."Alright. The docks at the Black Forest, tomorrow night."The next day, the day the Elders were set to announc

Chapter 8

A triumphant, vicious smirk flashed across Morrigan's face.She raised her hand high and, with all her strength, slapped me across the face.CRACK!The sound was sharp and clear.The force sent me stumbling back, the taste of blood filling my mouth.The slap echoed in the sudden, deafening silence in my head. For the first time in seven years, I was alone in my own mind.Echo was gone. The voice that had been my constant companion for seven years, my tormentor and my only comfort, had simply... vanished.As if this final, public humiliation had severed something deep inside me.I could hear the wind, Morrigan's triumphant panting, and the sudden, ragged sound of Rylan's breathing."Is that enough?" I lifted my head calmly and looked at Rylan. "May I go now?"Rylan's mouth opened, but no words came out.He just stood there, looking at me with an expression I couldn't decipher—a storm of pain, regret, and something else.I didn't wait for his answer. I turned and walked away.This time,

Chapter 9

Rylan's POVAgony.A soul-shattering agony ripped through me. It felt like my very soul was being torn in two.I shot up from the bed, cold sweat soaking my back.This was… the backlash. The bond had been severed.“Aveline?”I instinctively looked for her, but I was in a strange bed. An unfamiliar room.A deeper panic set in as I felt it—something vital being ripped from my world, torn out by the roots. Just then, the bedroom door opened. A figure walked out.It wasn't Aveline.It was Morrigan.She was wearing my shirt. “Rylan, you’re finally awake,” she cooed. “You were so drunk last night. I took care of you.”Last night?The memories flooded back.It was our Mating Anniversary. I stormed out, furious that she’d done nothing to mark it.I got wasted at a bar. Morrigan brought me home.I let her slap Aveline… and then… then Aveline left.I reached for our mind-link, for the bond that had connected us for seven years.Nothing.Just a dead, suffocating void.“Get out,” I growled, my vo

Chapter 10

Rylan's POVYou wanted to see me care, Aveline?Fine. I'll give you a show.The next day, I issued an Alpha command that shocked the entire Blackrock pack.I promoted a young Omega healer. Lyra.“From this day on, Lyra will assume the role of Luna. She will assist me in all pack matters,” I announced at the pack assembly.I could see the shocked and disapproving looks from the elders. I didn’t care.Did you see that, Aveline?You’re not irreplaceable.If you don’t come back, someone else will take your place.I started taking Lyra everywhere.To the annual inspection of our northern vassal packs, I made her wear the ceremonial gown. Aveline’s gown. The one embroidered with the golden crescent moon. I made her stand by my side as the other packs bowed.I made sure the news spread through the Alliance channels.I thought, surely, Aveline would see it. She’d go mad with jealousy and storm back here to confront me.But there was nothing.A week passed. My world was still dead silent.For
