All Chapters of The Jilted Luna : Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

“What are you doing here?!”Carlisle’s voice cut through the room like a blade. It was low, cold, and filled with enough fury to make the air itself feel heavier.Sylas stood frozen in the middle of the room.For the first time in years, the usually composed Beta had absolutely no idea what to do. His mind went blank as he stared at his Alpha, desperately searching for something, anything, that could make this situation less painfully awkward.Of all the things he had imagined finding when he entered Carlisle’s room, this had never crossed his mind.Seriously… why today of all days?Without missing a beat, Sylas decided the safest option was to pretend he hadn’t seen or heard a thing.Werewolves certainly had stronger instincts and far healthier appetites than humans, especially after finding their mates. That was simply part of their nature. Still, not every werewolf spent their life chasing pleasure.Many chose to wait.Sylas was one of them.At twenty-six, he still hadn’t met his f

As for Carlisle, he had already been pushed to the edge politically.The council had all but isolated him, so one more mistake meant very little now, as long as Victoria wasn’t involved. It wasn’t the smartest decision. It went against everything he had planned. He still wanted to build enough power to protect Victoria if the Alpha King ever came looking for her.But that was a problem for another day.Right now, he was still the Alpha of the Red Moon Pack.And no Alpha would allow someone to openly challenge his authority inside his own territory.Raquel understood that better than anyone.She had survived this long because she knew when to push and when to step back. The moment she realized she wouldn’t win this confrontation, she gave in with remarkable grace. She rose from the Luna’s seat without protest, her gentle smile never leaving her face. To everyone watching, she looked less like a defeated woman and more like someone making a generous compromise.Only Raquel knew she was

Normally, magic bags like these were almost impossible to obtain.Only traveling merchants who traded between different races carried them, and their prices were so outrageous that most Alphas never even considered buying one. Even after Carlisle negotiated trade agreements with the dwarves and secured a generous discount, a single magic bag still cost about as much as an entire year’s grain supply for an average pack.Fortunately, money was one thing Carlisle no longer lacked.Years ago, he had looked beyond the werewolf kingdom and established trade with both the dwarves and the elves. Those agreements had brought rare goods into the Red Moon Pack, and the profits from selling them had transformed the pack’s economy. Despite being pushed aside politically by the Alpha King, the Red Moon Pack had quietly become one of the richest territories in the kingdom.Under normal circumstances, an Alpha summoned to the Royal Palace received notice at least a month in advance. That gave every p

That was why, after Carlisle’s father saved her life, Victoria devoted herself to the Red Moon Pack.She had nothing left to give except herself.The former Alpha had sacrificed his life to protect her, and that debt weighed on her heart every single day. When the elders revealed his final wish and told her that he wanted her to become Carlisle’s chosen mate and help him grow into a worthy Alpha, she accepted without hesitation.To Victoria, it wasn’t a marriage.It was repayment.It was the only way she knew how to honor the man who had given her a second chance to live.Then everything she believed about herself was turned upside down.She learned that she had never been born wolfless.She learned that she wasn’t an abandoned orphan.She learned that she was the lost princess of the werewolf kingdom.Most importantly…She learned that she had a wolf.Aurora.A magnificent white wolf said to bear the image of the Moon Goddess herself.That truth changed everything.The hopelessness s

Most of the men in the patrol squad stood well over six feet tall. Even the women were usually between five foot seven and five foot nine, which was perfectly normal for she-wolves.Victoria, however, barely reached five foot six.For a human man, her height wasn’t unusual.For someone assigned to one of the kingdom’s most dangerous patrol units, it certainly caught people’s attention.One of the warriors grinned as he wandered over.Without the slightest hesitation, he threw an arm across Victoria’s shoulders as if they had known each other for years.“What are you?” he joked. “Half dwarf?”His tone was playful rather than insulting.Victoria could tell he wasn’t trying to offend her.Human men weren’t uncommon inside the palace. Archmage Jayden was human, and several of his disciples were as well. Most human men were only a little shorter than werewolves, so nobody found Victoria’s appearance particularly strange.What puzzled them was something else.Why would a human be assigned t
