10 Chapters

Chapter 1

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

When I pushed open the door to Caden’s house, I almost thought I was in the wrong place.The clean scent I knew so well—a mix of herbs and his own cedarwood—was gone, suffocated by the sickly sweet scent of an Omega. It was so thick it was nauseating.I pushed open the door to what used to be my room and froze.My shelves of potions and herbs were gone. In their place stood a wall of ornate closets, filled with Vanessa's dresses and jewelry."You're here."Caden's lazy voice came from behind me.He was wearing a black silk robe, his hair damp. A fresh, sharp bite mark stood out on his neck. A claim mark. Vanessa's."My herbs and my equipment?""Tossed them," he said casually. "She said she didn't like the smell.""Where?"Caden gestured toward the backyard with his chin. "Next to the burn pit. You can deal with it yourself."I followed him to the corner where junk was piled up.All my belongings were tossed on the ground like trash.My custom-made crystal mortar and pestle were shatter

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

Chapter 4

The moment Liam finished speaking, Vanessa shrieked in fury."Caden, if you're going to protect her like this, then I'm leaving!"Caden’s eyes widened. Ignoring what Liam had just said, he grabbed Vanessa and held her tight."Baby, don't,"His cold gaze cut into me like a knife. "Aria, if there's a next time, you can crawl back to your own pack! It won't matter even if Asher himself comes begging!"The burn on my arm was so painful I broke out in a cold sweat, but my voice was unnervingly calm. "Don't worry. There won't be."Caden seemed surprised by my answer, freezing for a second.He didn’t say anything else, just swept Vanessa up into his arms."Let's go. To the infirmary."His eyes scanned the red, blistering skin on my arm, and his brow tightened."You're coming too."Worried the burn might get infected, I followed silently.As I sat in the back seat, my phone vibrated. It was a text from Caden.[Aria, I was a little worked up back there.][I'll make it up to you later.]I glance

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

Caden’s POVThe next morning, Vanessa was still fast asleep when I woke up.Her arm was draped across my chest, her breathing even and quiet.I used to love this.Now, it was just irritating.I walked to the window for some air, but the view of the garden made me freeze.The field of pure white moonflowers was gone. In its place were vibrant red roses.Vanessa woke up and wrapped her arms around me from behind, purring, “I had the gardener replace all those moonflowers with roses! Roses are so much more romantic. Those other flowers were so boring.”But I remembered Aria, her eyes sparkling when she begged me to let her design that part of the garden. She’d told me moonflowers had a calming effect, that they would be good for me.I had refused to let her touch my private spaces, but after her relentless pleading, I finally let her have the garden.Now it was gone.I gently removed Vanessa’s arms. “I have to take care of some pack business.”“I’ll come with you,” she said, getting up im

Chapter 7

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

Chapter 8

Aria’s POVAfter Caden was dragged out by Ethan’s men, the ceremony continued.The moment I said the words “I do,” I felt a pull from the depths of my soul.It was the fated mate bond, the one I had suppressed for four long years.It sang with joy, celebrating that I had finally chosen my true destiny.After the ceremony, I knew I would face endless questions and whispers, but Ethan stood firmly by my side, calmly handling every awkward moment."Everyone has a past," he told the curious guests, his tone gentle but firm. "I care about our future, not hers."Those simple words shut down anyone looking for gossip.Looking at his strong profile, I felt my heart begin to beat a little faster.But when we were back in our quarters, I still felt I owed him an apology.“I’m so sorry about what happened today. I’m sorry I embarrassed you.”Ethan shook his head, a warm smile on his face. “You didn’t embarrass me, Aria. The only one who was embarrassed was the Alpha who disrespected both the cere

Chapter 9

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

Chapter 10

Aria’s POVBack in our room, I gently touched Ethan’s arm.“You heard all of that?”“Yes.”“Are you upset that I talked to him for so long?”He smiled. “No. It’s good that you got your closure. I know you would never do anything to cross a line.”Unlike Caden’s constant possessiveness and aggression, Ethan was like a warm spring sun, always gentle.A warmth bloomed in my chest again. I thanked him in a small voice.“Thank you, my Alpha.”“What?” Ethan’s body went rigid.I glanced away, too shy to look at him. “I said, thank you, my Alpha.”He hadn't misheard. This wasn’t a dream.Ethan’s voice trembled. “Can you say it again?”“Oh, you’re so annoying. My Alpha, My Alpha, My Alpha…” I teased him. “There, is that enough?”His face turned bright red. He was so flustered he couldn’t form a sentence, looking more like a shy teenage wolf than a powerful Alpha as he practically fled into the room ahead of me.…Over the next six months, my feelings for Ethan deepened with each passing day.On
