Liena POV I knew the moon Moon Goddess worked in silence. She did not speak through dreams or send clear signs the way the old stories claimed. She simply came to fight for me without anyone noticing until the damage was already done. Helena had spent years weaving her web. She had used my name, my position, and the quiet trust people placed in me. She had stood beside the man I once called husband and helped him build their real life while I carried the weight of the fake one alone. Kael had smiled in public and spoken soft words when it suited him. He had acted like a perfect mate while he secured a better future for himself, for Helena, and for the son they shared. They thought I would never see it. They thought the Goddess would stay quiet. I sat in the hospital bed and felt the truth settle in my chest. Even though the miscarriage had ripped something from me, it had also stripped away the last of the lies. The Goddess had not taken the child out of cruelty. She had tak

Liena POV Days passed in that hospital room, and the air between Kael and Lucian grew heavier with every hour. Kael hated having the Supreme Alpha there. He never said it straight out at first, but his expression soured every time Lucian entered with food or stood near the bed. His shoulders stayed tight. It almost came to another fight one afternoon. Kael had just finished telling me how much better he would take care of me once I’m home when Lucian walked in carrying water and flowers. Kael stood up fast. “I told you this is family business,” Kael said, voice low and sharp. “You don’t need to keep showing up.” Lucian set the bottle down without looking at him. His face stayed flat. “You have a problem with that? Maybe you shouldn’t have been such an irresponsible husband.” Kael took a step closer. “She’s my mate. I decide what’s best.” The power that always rolled off Lucian did not rise or fall. He simply stood there, hands loose, eyes cold and empty. “You will not stop me

Liena POV We got home later that evening with Luna Elena. She had no choice but to leave Ethan with my grandfather. The boy had cried hard and refused to come, clinging to the old man until Luna Elena finally backed off. She looked tired and sad the whole drive back. When we walked into the pack house, she went straight to the sitting room. I stood near the doorway and watched her. She is pacing back and forth across the room, her steps restless. Alpha Ronan and Kael were already there. Kael sat in the armchair by the window, his face blank, focused on his pc. His mother stopped in front of them. “He would not come with us,” she said, her voice tight. “That little boy looked me in the eye and said no. He wants to stay with the old man. I tried. I told him he would have a real home here, food, a warm bed, people who care. He still cried and shook his head. I could not force him.” Alpha Ronan spoke in a calm tone. “Be easy, Elena. He is just a boy. Just a few years old. With time he

Liena POV “Liena stop this madness.” Said Kael as his hand closed around my wrist the second the front doors shut behind us as he pulled me inside, away from the media. The noise of the reporters still pressed against the glass walls and I could see they were not leaving anytime soon and inside the house, the air felt filled with tension. He pulled me straight through the front hall and into the sitting room without saying a word. His grip was firm and steady. Maya stayed near the doorway. Alpha Marcus and Luna Elena followed us in and closed the doors behind them. The soft click of the latch sounded louder than it should have. Kael let go of my arm once we were fully inside and turned to face me. His face stayed blank, angry too. His eyes stayed flat. The bond between us, the one that used to pulse under my skin, felt silent and cold. “The news is not real, Liena.” he said. His voice came out even and empty of feeling. “Those photos were taken out of context. Someone dug up

Kael POV In fury, I picked up the nearest vase and threw it against the wall. It shattered into a hundred pieces across the floor, and still the anger in my chest did not let up. My mother flinched at the sound, and my father's jaw tightened, but neither of them said anything about the mess. They only kept talking, kept trying to smooth things over the way they always did. "Kael, calm yourself," my father said, his voice low, controlled, the voice of an alpha used to being obeyed. "Breaking things will not fix this, ass hole!" "Talk to Liena when she is calm," my mother added. "Give her time. She will come around. She always does." The more they said it, the worse the pressure in my skull became. They did not understand. They could not understand, because they did not know the truth. They thought this was a marriage worth saving out of love, out of loyalty, out of the bond every pack expected between an alpha and his Luna. They had no idea that none of it had ever been real, n
