Chapter 1

I lay alone in the hospital bed, a ripping pain in my gut.The doctor’s words echoed in my head: “I’m sorry, we lost the pup. But you're stable now. You’re young, Miss Isadora. You’ll have other chances.”I had no tears left to cry.My tiny, two-month-old pup was gone, without me ever getting the chance to meet them.A nurse asked me, “Should I call any family?”Family?Did she mean Bruce? The man who was tangled up with another woman while I was fighting for my life?Just then, my phone rang. It was the Luna of the Silvermoon Pack—my birth mother.She was even more thrilled and decisive than I’d expected. “Of course, sweetie. If it wasn't for Seraphina's mother—that venomous Omega who switched her own pup with you at birth—we never would have lost all these years! I’ll make them pay.”“In one week, I’ll hold a grand ceremony for your return. The entire North American werewolf community will know you are the true Silvermoon heiress.”“As for the alliance, Julian, the Alpha heir of the

A complicated look flickered in Bruce’s deep eyes.He stroked the back of my hand, soothing me like he always did. “Isadora, I can explain.”“Explain what?”He was silent for a few seconds, then said slowly, “Marking Seraphina was just to secure an alliance with the Silvermoon Pack. You know our pack needs stronger allies.”I watched him, waiting for him to spin the rest of his lies.“Seraphina is just an ex from eight years ago. We haven’t spoken since. There are no feelings involved.” His hand tightened on mine, his gaze as earnest as a master actor’s. “I’m only getting close to her to meet the Silvermoon Alpha at her birthday party in a week.”Her birthday party in a week. My return ceremony.“That’s right,” Bruce’s voice was a low, mesmerizing hum. “Once I have the Silvermoon Alpha’s support, I’ll break it off with her and have her mark removed. Isadora, you are my fated mate. Nothing will ever change that.”He kissed my forehead. “Just bear with me for seven more days. Just seven.

Before I could answer, the office door opened again.Seraphina glided in, walking straight to Bruce’s side and leaning affectionately against his arm.She was wearing a light purple dress, a silk scarf artfully draped to half-conceal the mating mark on her neck. She looked fragile and lovely.“Sorry to interrupt, Bruce,” she said with a sweet smile. “I brought breakfast for everyone.”Bruce’s expression softened instantly. He wrapped an arm around her waist. “Are you feeling better?”“Much better. With you by my side, I’m not afraid of anything,” Seraphina murmured, pressing against him.I watched them, a familiar sting piercing my heart.Just then, the other core pack members started trickling in. Bruce looked around the room and cleared his throat.“Since everyone is here, I have an official announcement.” His arm tightened, pulling Seraphina closer. “Seraphina will soon be my Luna.”The room erupted in applause and congratulations.“Congratulations, Alpha!”“An Alpha and a true Alph

The moment Bruce saw the letter, he snapped, “What do you think you’re doing, Isadora?” He slammed the letter on the desk, his voice filled with an Alpha’s authority. “Do you think quitting is a game?”Seraphina stood beside him, gently rubbing his back. “Bruce, don’t be upset. Maybe Isadora is just going through something.”She turned to me, a flash of triumph in her eyes, though her expression was kind. “Isadora, are you in some kind of trouble? You can talk to us about it.”Her words made me sick.She was standing there playing the part of the perfect mate, as if she were already the true Luna of this pack.“My decision is final,” I said evenly. “It’s all explained in the letter.”My response only seemed to make Bruce angrier.He stood up, towering over me.“Isadora, I made you Beta out of pity. Don’t forget your place.” His voice was ice. “Without me, where would a wolf who doesn’t even know her own parents be?”His words stabbed me like a knife.My hands began to shake, but I forc

Faced with Seraphina’s accusation, I tried to explain. “I didn’t do it on purpose. The dress didn’t fit—”But whispers were already spreading around the shop.“Oh my god, she ripped the gown on purpose!”“Do you know how much that costs? How could she ever pay for it?”“That’s just evil, ruining the future Luna’s gown…”Trapped under their accusing glares, I felt helpless.Just then, Bruce rushed over. He saw Seraphina standing there with tears in her eyes and me in the torn gown, and his face turned to thunder.“What happened?” he demanded, immediately going to Seraphina and pulling her into his arms.“Bruce…” Seraphina sobbed. “I just asked Isadora to try on the gown for me to see how it looked, but she… she ripped it on purpose.”I opened my mouth to defend myself, but Bruce whirled on me.His eyes were burning with rage. Without asking a single question, he slapped me hard across the face.Crack!The sharp sound echoed in the silent shop.My cheek stung, a fiery pain spreading acro

Chapter 6

I returned to the home we had shared for eight years and started to pack.Every piece of clothing in the closet, every book on the shelves, every piece of jewelry on the vanity… I threw it all in the trash.On the nightstand was a photo of us.It was from the Full Moon Festival five years ago. Bruce was smiling, kissing my forehead, while I leaned against his chest, my eyes full of happiness.Now I knew that happiness was just a lie.I ripped the photo in half and threw it away.It took me only an hour to erase eight years of my life.Late that night, as I was getting ready for bed, I heard a key in the lock.Bruce was back. He reeked of cheap whiskey and Seraphina's signature jasmine perfume, a nauseating mix that clung to the air.He stumbled towards me, looking for comfort like he always did. “Isadora… my head hurts…”I pushed him away coldly. “Stay away from me.”Bruce froze, surprised by my rejection. For the past eight years, no matter when he came home or in what state, I had al

The Silver Moon Pack’s estate was even grander than I’d imagined.When the private jet touched down on the airstrip, my mother, Luna Celeste, was already waiting for me.Tears welled in her eyes the moment she saw me."Welcome home, my daughter," she whispered, her hand gently caressing my cheek.For the next three days, my mother personally coached me on high-society etiquette.As the heir to the Silver Moon Pack, I had to learn from scratch how to carry myself with the grace of a high-born she-wolf."Shoulders back, Isadora. You are the Alpha's only daughter. You carry an innate authority.""Hold your knife and fork like this… your movements must be elegant.""When you speak with other Alphas, your gaze must be steady, your voice strong. You are not an accessory to anyone."Surprisingly, I was a fast learner.It was as if the etiquette was coded into my DNA, dormant for eight years while I’d learned to keep my head down."Very good, Isadora," my mother said with a satisfied nod. "You

Facing this blatant accusation, I stared at them coldly. "On what grounds? You have no right to search me.""Grounds?" one of the she-wolves sneered. "Someone of your breeding sees a necklace that valuable? It’d be stranger if you didn't steal it.""Exactly! You're just jealous of Seraphina!" another girl added sharply.The live stream comments were even more vicious:"She has the face of a thief.""Pat her down!"Seraphina furrowed her brow for the camera, looking conflicted. "Please, everyone, that's too cruel to Isadora."She paused, a cunning glint in her eyes, before looking at me with a pleading expression. "Isadora, to keep this from getting ugly, just give the necklace back. We can pretend this never happened."Her words sealed my guilt in everyone's eyes.I took a deep breath, refusing to get dragged down to their level. I pulled out my phone. "If you're so sure, then let's check the security footage."Just then, rushed footsteps came from outside.Bruce stormed in and grabbed

Chapter 9

Stunned by the blow, Bruce clutched his stinging cheek, his face a picture of disbelief.A dead silence had fallen over the gala. Even the live stream comments had frozen.My mother rushed to my side, her eyes full of pain as she checked my back. "Are you hurt? Did that pillar injure you?"Then, she scanned the room, her voice so cold it sent a shiver down everyone's spine. "What do you think you're doing, surrounding my daughter?"Seraphina and her friends exchanged confused glances, all assuming my mother was talking about Seraphina.Bruce thought so too. He bowed respectfully. "My apologies, Luna. I’ll have this thief removed at once so she doesn’t disrupt Seraphina’s birthday.""Thief?" My mother’s voice grew even colder. "Who are you calling a thief?"Bruce pointed at me, his face a mask of self-righteousness. "Luna, the evidence is clear. This woman stole Seraphina's Moon Goddess necklace and was caught red-handed."Seraphina took her cue and stepped forward, looking pitiful. "Mo

Chapter 10

(Bruce's Perspective)Bruce sat on a sofa in the main hall, his wine glass empty, though he hadn't noticed.His friends sat around him, the mood heavy and tense."Bruce, don't you think the Luna's reaction was… weird?" one of them whispered. "Why would she defend that Isadora girl?""Yeah, and the way she looked at Seraphina was so cold. Not like a mother looking at her daughter at all," another added.Bruce's brow was deeply furrowed as he replayed the scene in his mind."Maybe it was just because Isadora got hurt. The Luna wouldn't want to see anyone bullied at her gala," Bruce tried to reason, but even to his own ears, the explanation sounded weak.Just then, footsteps approached from the direction of the lounge.Seraphina stormed over, her face a mask of fury."Seraphina, what's wrong?" Bruce asked, immediately getting to his feet."I went to find Mom so we could walk out for the ceremony together, and…" Seraphina said through gritted teeth, "the guards stopped me! They wouldn't le
