Chapter 1

Right after I submitted my application to dissolve my mate bond with Tobias Grafton, the pack healer, William Beaumont, called me."Luna, your body has already been worn down by silver poisoning. If you don't start treatment immediately, your life will be in danger. Are you sure you're not coming to the infirmary?"I was quiet for a moment before answering honestly, "I'm dissolving my mate bond with Alpha Tobias. I'll be leaving the Moonshadow pack soon, so I won't be staying for treatment."William sighed and offered a few words of sympathy before continuing, "We obtained a stalk of aurelune grass a few days ago. The antidote will be ready in two days. I've already reserved a dose for you. Are you sure you don't want to stay and wait?"A flicker of hope stirred in my chest.Aurelune grass was exceedingly rare. If I left the Moonshadow pack, there was no way I'd ever get my hands on the antidote on my own. I'd already resigned myself to dying, but if there was even a small chance

The moment I agreed, Nicholas didn't hesitate to ditch me and grab Whitney's hand, pulling her toward the kitchen."Aunt Whitney, come make a cake with me! I want moon nectar flavor! You're the best! Every time I ask Mommy to make it, she has to wear those animal-skin gloves, and the cake ends up full of fur!"I stood silently in the corner, watching it all unfold. Suddenly, I realized that Nicholas' words no longer had the power to hurt me.I was allergic to moon nectar. Even touching it would make my entire body break out in rashes.But Nicholas loved that cake.Every year on his birthday, he insisted I make it myself.He didn't like it when I wore gloves, so I forced myself to make it barehanded. But when he saw how red and swollen my hands were, he didn't take a single bite.Once, I overheard him telling Tobias, "Daddy, can we get a different mommy who can make moon nectar cake? Mommy is too weak."His rejection crushed me back then. I felt like I had failed him, so I tried

My mind went blank. Ignoring the dizziness, I propped myself upright, my breathing uneven."Tobias, I'm already in the terminal stage of silver poisoning. If I don't take the antidote, I'll hemorrhage and die."His expression stiffened.Before he could respond, Nicholas suddenly burst into the room, his face contorted with anger. "Mommy, you hurt Aunt Whitney, and now you want to take her antidote too?"He began to cry, tears of indignation rolling down his cheeks as he turned to Tobias. "Mommy was fine before, and now she suddenly says she's poisoned… You always tell me kids shouldn't lie, so why is Mommy lying?"I leaned weakly against the bed."I'm not lying… Nicholas, I got injured by silver while trying to save you two years ago. You remember that, don't you?""That was just a tiny injury. You could've just dealt with it. You always bring it up, and I'm sick of hearing it!"The cruel, careless words ripped from his mouth, each cutting deeply.Tobias' face darkened, and fo

The moment I hemorrhaged, the silver surged through me and killed my wolf almost instantly.It didn't even have time to cry out before it vanished from my body.With my wolf gone, my body began to break down piece by piece. It happened so fast that I couldn't even react.A cold force pierced straight through my heart, and my heartbeat flatlined in an instant. I lay there quietly on the floor, while my soul drifted upward.When I looked down, I could still see my own corpse, my face twisted in agony from the way I'd died.All my emotions seemed to disappear as I died. Looking at my own body, I even found myself wondering how long it would take before someone discovered it.If Tobias saw my body, how would he react?The thought had barely formed when my soul suddenly appeared beside him.At that moment, he was standing at Whitney's bedside, his expression gentle as he personally handed her both the antidote and the healing potion.Whitney drank them with a frown and pouted. "It'

"Stefan! Where is Luna Cordelia?"Tobias' voice rang out sharply, though there was a trace of unease beneath it.His butler, Stefan Goddard, hurried over, his tone flustered. "Alpha, Luna hasn't returned these past few days you were away. Wasn't she admitted to the infirmary? Two days ago, the pack healer burst into the mansion and took her away. She was unconscious at the time, and she looked seriously ill."Tobias' expression shifted, and even Nicholas looked unsettled.Whitney stepped forward immediately, her voice heavily laced with insinuation as she addressed Stefan. "That can't be right. When she chased me with a dagger, I couldn't even get away from her, and she still managed to hurt me."How did she suddenly collapse right after I was hospitalized? Isn't that a little too much of a coincidence?"Her words landed exactly where she wanted them to.Tobias' face darkened, and Nicholas said with certainty, "Mommy even took me out to buy barbecue ribs. She's definitely not si

On Whitney's first day in the mansion, she put on a flawless performance.She was gentle, hardworking, and always smiling as she played with Nicholas. She even took the initiative to cook for them.Tobias' restless mood eased slightly, while Nicholas stuck to her side like an excited little puppy.However, Whitney clearly wasn't good at handling raw meat, and the food she made didn't quite meet their expectations.After taking a bite, Nicholas frowned and said without thinking, "This doesn't taste like Mommy's cooking."He noticed Whitney's wounded expression, and a wave of regret washed over him immediately as he backpedaled to comfort her."It's okay… I mean, I don't really like Mommy's cooking either."He forced the half-cooked meat into his mouth and chewed quickly, trying to prove that he liked it.That night, Nicholas was rushed to the pack infirmary when his blood went out of control."How could you feed him something with frostsilver vine? Don't you know he's allergic

Tobias froze. "What did you just say? That's impossible. Cordelia has always been healthy. How could she possibly be in the terminal stage of silver poisoning? How much money did she pay you to help her spin such an outrageous lie?"The panic in his chest pushed him to say things without thinking.William was enraged. "Alpha, even if I'm punished for this, I won't lie against my conscience. The pack infirmary didn't have the means to treat it, so her condition deteriorated until it reached the terminal stage. "She fought so hard just to hold on until that antidote was finally ready, and you took away her only chance to survive. How could you do that?"His words cut deep, leaving Tobias gasping for air. "Is that really true? No… that can't be. If it were, why didn't she tell me…"He trailed off abruptly.He recalled how strongly I had refused when he asked for that antidote. I told him that I would die without it, but what did he do in response?He didn't believe me. He even all

"You're saying Cordelia dissolved our mate bond? How is that even possible?"Tobias looked like he was on the verge of losing it. He had sent Matthew to track me down, and this was the answer he got."It's true, Alpha. Luna Cordelia filed for dissolution of your mate bond half a month ago. The day she went missing was the same day the mate bond officially ended."Matthew sounded frustrated. He had gone to great lengths to try to find any trace of me and had come up empty. He had even nearly been stripped of his position over it.Now that he finally had something concrete, it seemed Tobias was far from satisfied with it."That's impossible. Cordelia loves me. There's no way she would leave me!"Tobias simply couldn't come to terms with such a crushing reality. "Find her. I don't care where she is. Bring her back!"He needed to hear it from me himself. He needed to know why I could be so ruthless as to walk away like that.Battered and defeated, Tobias returned to the mansion.T

Chapter 9

When Tobias woke up in the pack infirmary, Matthew was right by his bedside. "Alpha, you're finally awake."Tobias stared at him for a moment before asking, "What did you use to calm me down?"At the very last moment, he had thought he caught my scent.Matthew told him that it was something I had prepared ahead of time, an item carrying my scent. Our wolves had chosen each other, and only my scent could calm him whenever he lost control."Cordelia…"Tobias' voice was laced with agony.He finally learned of my death from Matthew.Without the antidote, I had died of silver poisoning when I hemorrhaged.Whitney had people dump my body in a dark forest. It took Matthew a long time to recover what remained of me and bury me.Tobias looked like he was about to lose it.He couldn't accept that he and Nicholas had a hand in causing my death, so he placed all the blame on Whitney.If she hadn't taken my antidote, I wouldn't have died.When he ordered people to drive Whitney out of t
