All Chapters of Abandoned Luna: I Vanished from My Alpha: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

Those incriminating photos were a merciless bolt of lightning, shattering the perfect mate bond Ian Stormfang and I had pretended to have for five years.My wolf howled inside me, yet I had no choice but to bear the crippling pain alone.He had severed our mind link long ago.Even now, he was likely with his Omega, basking in the presence of her youth.At the edge of the Shadowmoon pack's territory, in a valley overgrown with wolfsbane, the faint glow of a cigarette flickered once before it died."Three times the market rate," the rogue said. "You're in too much of a hurry. Besides, no one wants to be on the receiving end of the Shadowmoon pack Alpha's rage."I pulled out two gold bars without hesitation."Deal. Within three days, I expect the new identity and the car to be ready."The scar-faced rogue nodded, but he didn't take the gold right away. Instead, he fixed me with a hard stare."Lena, I have to be blunt. Once you leave, you can't come sneaking back. None of the pack

The pain dragged me under, and by the time I opened my eyes again, it was already noon the next day.I dragged my incredibly weak body back toward the estate, for I couldn't let Ian find out that I was planning to leave before the scheduled day arrived.The following evening, despite the pain in my body, I took the initiative to host a family dinner at the estate.Ian looked a little surprised, but he'd never turn down anything that made him look good.He sat at the head of the table, loudly sharing his grand ideas and visions for border security and the pack's future with everyone.All the while, his hand rested over mine.I felt several pairs of eyes constantly drifting toward me. Some showed respect or envy, while others held a faint sense of pity and amusement."To our great Alpha and our beautiful Luna, and to the eternal glory of the Shadowmoon pack. Cheers," one of the elders shouted, and everyone joined in for a toast.I raised my glass with everyone else and drank, tho

Those words struck me like a bolt of lightning.A metallic taste welled up in my throat, and I coughed up a mouthful of blood onto the ground before I could stop it. I shoved Landon aside and stumbled toward the spot where the guard had found the body, desperate to see for myself.I needed to know what else Lena had done behind my back.The guards formed a tight circle around the charred body curled in the corner."Move!" I roared, shoving past the guards in my way.The body was curled into a fetal position against the wall, burned beyond recognition, but I could still tell that it had belonged to a she-wolf.My heart seized."Lena…"I reached toward the body with a trembling hand, but before I could touch it, I froze.No, this couldn't be her. Lena wouldn't just stay in the estate and burn to death. She was smarter than that.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm down so I could use our mate bond to track her. But it was useless. I felt absolutely nothi

Ian's POVThe wind had been howling for three full days.I stood before the massive floor-to-ceiling window in the pack's council hall, staring out at the horizon. The most beautiful pastures that once belonged to us were now marked with the banners of the Clawrift pack.Another winter had passed, and another piece of our territory had changed hands.Ever since Lena left, ever since that godforsaken bond was completely severed, a relentless agony had tortured me day and night.The pack healer told me that this was the curse one had to endure for betraying the destined mate who was chosen by the Moon Goddess.There was no cure unless she was willing to accept me again.But where was my Lena?"Alpha Ian…"Landon's voice came from behind me, cautious as always.That day, beneath that caution, there was a hint of hesitation.I knew that even he was afraid we wouldn't be able to hold onto the last stretch of territory our pack had left.I didn't turn around.
