The Alpha's Secret Mate：I'm Someone Else's Luna Now의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 10

I am the daughter of a high-ranking Alpha, yet I willingly spent four years as Caden's secret. I thought he would eventually claim me publicly, but the day his first love returned, I realized I was nothing more than a warm body for his needs.So, I agreed to the marriage alliance with the Silvercrest Pack. I was going to be another Alpha's Luna.The sheets were a mess, the air thick with the smell of sex and sweat.Caden’s fingers were still tracing my waist, his hot breath ghosting the skin behind my ear. His deep Alpha voice was a seductive rumble. "Again..."I was about to turn and wrap my arms around him when his phone rang."Vanessa?" The lust vanished from his voice, replaced by an urgent tension the moment he answered.He rolled off the bed, not even bothering to get fully dressed. "You're at the airport? Don't move. I'm coming to get you right now."I sat up, clutching the sheets to my chest, and watched him scramble for his clothes.In four years, I had never seen him so flust

Once the application is submitted, it takes three days to be formally released from a pack. Today was my last day in Nightshade."Aria, the Alpha wants you to bring a calming draught to his office.""Understood." My last task for Caden, I thought.When I pushed open the door to the Alpha's office, I saw Vanessa sitting on Caden's lap, pressed tightly against his chest.Caden was gently massaging her temples, his Alpha pheromones soothing the Omega in his arms."Still hurting?" he asked softly, his voice laced with tender concern."A little better," Vanessa cooed, leaning into his embrace. "It's all your fault. You were too rough last night."I stood frozen in the doorway, the tray in my hands nearly slipping.How many times in the last four years had my own energy been drained from treating his wounds or researching potions to fight enemy packs? How many times had I been curled up in a chair in pain, only for him to toss me a cold, "Go rest. Don't delay the important work."And now he

Caden’s POV“A Luna ceremony?”Asher’s words on the phone froze me in place.Aria… becoming someone else’s Luna?“Asher, what Luna ceremony?” My voice trembled, and I couldn't stop it.“Don’t fucking play dumb with me!” Asher roared, his patience shot. “My sister’s union with Alpha Ethan of the Silvercrest Pack! It’s in two days, at the Moon Altar!”“He’s her fated mate, guided to her by the Moon Goddess…”My head was spinning. I couldn’t make out the rest of what Asher was saying. I don’t even remember hanging up the phone.The Silvercrest Pack? A pack as strong as mine?And a fated mate?The hand holding my phone was shaking.Aria was really going to be another Alpha’s Luna.“Caden? What’s wrong?” Vanessa looked at me with concern. “You look awful.”I looked at her, but all I could see was Aria’s face.The first time I saw her flashed in my mind, suddenly crystal clear.It was four years ago. Asher had brought her to my territory.She stood behind him, with delicate features and a pu

Aria’s POVOn the Moon Altar of the Silvercrest Pack, moonlight streamed through the massive crystal dome, bathing Ethan and me in its glow.I wore a silver-white gown that shimmered like liquid moonlight, and in my hands, I held a bouquet of Moonpetal flowers, picked by Ethan himself from deep within the forest at dawn.The Alphas and important members from all the major packs were seated below, including my parents and Asher. Every face was smiling, full of blessings.The Elder began to speak, his ancient words echoing across the altar. “Aria Rossi, before the eyes of the Moon Goddess, do you willingly take Ethan Moretti as your mate, your Alpha, and become his Luna, to protect this pack together, through good times and bad, for all your days?”I looked into Ethan’s gentle eyes and was about to speak.BOOM!The heavy doors were suddenly thrown open with tremendous force.The deafening crash made everyone turn in shock.Caden stumbled into the hall, having broken through the guards.H

Aria’s POVThree days after the Luna Ceremony, as was tradition, Ethan and I returned to my home pack for a celebratory dinner.My parents adored Ethan.My brother, Asher, was more direct. "If you ever hurt my sister, I'll be the first one to come for you."Ethan didn’t flinch at the threat. Instead, he gave a solemn nod.After the banquet, I was getting some fresh air in the garden when I felt a searing gaze fixed on me.It was Caden.He looked like hell. The bruises on his face hadn’t fully healed, and he looked even worse than he did at the ceremony.“Caden, what do you want?” I stopped, keeping my distance. He stood at the bottom of the steps, while I stood at the top, looking down at him.“If I said I was wrong, that I truly regret everything, could we start over?” His voice was pleading. “I’ll make our relationship public. I’ll give you the grandest ceremony. Anything, if you’ll just come back.”I stared at him, shocked.“Caden, I am someone else’s Luna.” I held up my hand, showi
