Chapter 1

It was just a casual outing, so Nancy and I hadn't brought any guards. We never imagined running into someone this brazen.The smiles vanished from our faces.After her mate's death, my mother-in-law Nancy had single-handedly held the Silver Moon Pack together, raising her son Damien from a pup into the pack's fiercest warrior before handing him the Alpha title. As the former Luna, her pride wouldn't let her stoop to arguing with this she-wolf. She simply gave her one cold look."You're an Omega who doesn't even have a wolf. You're not fit to speak in my presence.""Get out of my sight before I get angry."Without sparing the she-wolf another glance, Nancy gently patted my hand."Aria, don't let her ruin our day. Let's keep going. Tonight, I'll make Damien answer for this."The she-wolf trembled with rage as she watched us walk away."You'll regret crossing me!"She glared at our retreating figures and beckoned toward the distance. A shadow materialized before her, voice dripping with

My gaze landed on the diamond ring on her finger. It hit me like a bucket of ice water.Damien had an identical men's ring. Mine was a matching bracelet from the same collection. He'd told me the set only came in a men's ring and a women's bracelet — he kept the ring and gave me the bracelet, a symbol that we'd always be together.I'd been so happy. I wore that bracelet every single day.I never imagined the wolf he truly wanted was someone else.To Damien, both I and that bracelet were just accessories — disposable props he could brush off whenever he pleased.Rage boiled over, and I let out a laugh.My eyes locked onto Vivienne's bare neck, and my voice turned ice-cold."Every wolf in this pack knows the Luna's name is Aria. And I just heard him call you Vivienne...""There's no mark on your neck. You don't even bear his claim, yet you parade around calling yourself his mate. A dirty little secret hiding in the shadows has no business running her mouth in front of me."Vivienne hadn'

I couldn't believe she'd actually done it. Fury surged through me."Are you insane? If anything happens to Nancy, there won't be a hole deep enough for you to hide in!"Vivienne looked at me with casual indifference, her smile widening."Still talking tough? Really?""Kneel and beg, and I'll consider letting you go."Looking at the lynx wounds on Nancy's body, I felt like my heart was being carved open.She'd been seriously injured before. Combined with the wolfsbane, she wouldn't last much longer.I clenched my jaw, my half-kneeling body slowly turning toward Vivienne.I couldn't watch Nancy die. Not like this.But Nancy grabbed my arm. She forced the words out."Aria — don't you dare beg her. I'm not dying today.""When Damien gets here, we'll see if she's still this cocky.""Don't bow to that bitch. She's not worth it."Vivienne's eyes narrowed."Let's find out what breaks first — your pride or my patience.""Cain. Throw them both over the edge."Cain kicked me down the slope. Panic

My eyes went red. I glared up at Vivienne and screamed."You're vile! I'm warning you — she's Damien's mother! The Former Luna of the Silver Moon Pack!""If you let her die, you won't survive the consequences!"Vivienne burst out laughing as if I'd told the joke of the century."You'll really say anything to stay alive. Look at you two — which part of you looks like pack nobility?""If she were really the Former Luna, she'd have guards. You think I'm stupid?""You crossed me today. I'm not letting this go."Nancy was shaking violently now, her lips turning purple.If the poison wasn't neutralized soon, it would be too late.I screamed at the top of my lungs."Someone — anyone! Help!"Cain flinched."Vivienne, that old wolf really looks like she's—"Vivienne cut him off impatiently."You're such an idiot, falling for their act.""That little bit of wolfsbane can't kill her. Let her suffer a while longer — Damien will sort it out when he gets here."At this rate, Nancy had five minutes.

The two wolves embraced shamelessly. Vivienne's voice transformed, all softness and warmth."Damien~ Those two she-wolves were so mean to me. She even hit me!""You have to stand up for me~ Banish them from the pack!"Damien tenderly caressed her face, his eyes flashing red."Someone actually dared to do this? Don't worry — I'll deal with them.""Poor thing. I've already arranged to take you to the annual Royal Alpha Summit. We'll be together every day."It felt like my bones were filled with broken glass, each movement driving the shards deeper. I could barely breathe.The wolf who'd held me in his arms just last night, whispering sweet nothings — here he was, flirting with another wolf right in front of me.A wolf's love. How cheap.Vivienne nestled into Damien's arms and pointed at me, triumph blazing in her eyes."That's the one. Her mother helped her too.""Good thing I knocked the old wolf out with wolfsbane, or they would've beaten me to death!""Banish them from the Silver Moon

Chapter 6

Damien pulled Vivienne behind him, his brow furrowed."Aria, she just got the wrong wolves. She didn't mean to hurt you or Mom.""I'll have someone take her away now. Put in a good word for her with Mom. Let it go."My heart had gone completely numb. Even hearing such blatant favoritism didn't sting anymore.I let out a cold laugh."Your mother nearly died because of her, and you want me to cover for her?"Vivienne shrugged."It wasn't on purpose. Besides, it's your fault for not telling me who you really were.""I think you did it deliberately — you scheming bitch. No wonder Damien doesn't love you!"I almost laughed.I was done engaging. My voice was flat."You claim you didn't know who we were? There are surveillance cameras all over that area. Want to pull the footage and see whether I told you or not?""Assaulting the Luna. Attempted murder of the Former Luna. Save your excuses for the Elder Council, Vivienne."I raised my hand. Guards moved in.Damien waved them off, his expressi

Chapter 7

Damien had been gone for an hour. I figured he should be on his way back, so I dialed his number.A coy, triumphant voice answered."Aria. You already know Damien's here with me. Why are you still calling?"I kept my voice flat."Tell Damien his mother wants him back. Now."Nancy recognized Vivienne's voice and took the phone from me, switching it to speaker.Vivienne's voice filled the hospital room."Come back? He just went downstairs to grab food. We've been having such a lovely time — I've already gone through all the condoms I bought.""He's in no rush to leave, if you catch my drift."Nancy's face darkened. I spoke sharply."Tell Damien his mother is ordering him to come back!"Rustling came through the phone. Vivienne's voice dripped with satisfaction."Let's ask him, shall we?""Damien~ Your Luna's calling. She wants you back."Damien, apparently thinking the call had ended, answered carelessly."Ignore her. I checked with the doctor — Mom won't wake up for another hour. Plenty

Chapter 8

The words had barely left her mouth when guards dragged Vivienne in."Let go of me! Who gave you the authority to treat me like this?"The guards turned to Nancy respectfully."We've brought her as you ordered.""When we arrived, she was packing her bags — trying to run."Panic flashed in Vivienne's eyes. She looked to Damien."Damien, you said you were taking me to the summit. That's why I was packing!""I would never leave you!"Damien glared at the guards."Who authorized this? Release her. Now."Nancy raised an eyebrow."Let her go."The moment they released her, Vivienne threw herself into Damien's arms, tears glistening."Damien, you scared me."She glanced at Nancy in the hospital bed and stuck out her tongue."Sorry about that. I didn't know you were Damien's mother. But you seem fine to me."Nancy's voice was steel."Whether I'm fine isn't for you to decide. The Elder Council will determine whether your actions were accidental — or attempted murder."Damien stepped in front of

Chapter 9

Lucian was everything Nancy had seen in him — brave, sharp, principled. A born Alpha.Nancy told me she'd once considered nominating him for the position years ago, but he'd left the pack at eighteen to forge his own path.He must have known her intentions and hadn't wanted to put her in an awkward position.Now, having learned what Damien had done, he'd answered Nancy's call and come home to lead.Damien couldn't fathom that his mother would truly abandon her only son — giving everything she had to an adopted child with no blood ties.Letting him take the Alpha title that was supposed to be Damien's.He'd forgotten how his own mother had died. He'd forgotten the deepest wound Nancy carried.He had done exactly what his grandfather did — driving one more blade into her already bleeding heart.Damien knelt before Nancy, begging her forgiveness, swearing he'd change.But she no longer believed him.She handed over every last pack responsibility and left to travel the world alone.With no
