All Chapters of The Alpha King's Hidden Luna: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

Ruth's POV"You're nothing but a pathetic omega pretending to be something you're not."The words hit me like physical blows as I stood in the center of the pack hall, my hands trembling at my sides. Langmore towered over me, his dark eyes cold as winter ice. The entire Bloodmoon Pack watched in silence as their Alpha tore me apart with words sharper than claws.Three years. Three years I'd been his Luna, and now he was throwing me away like garbage."I gave you everything," I whispered, my voice barely audible over the pounding of my heart. "I loved you with everything I had."Langmore's lip curled in disgust. "Your love means nothing when you can't give me an heir. The pack needs a future, and you..." He gestured at me like I was something dirty. "You're barren. Useless."Behind him, she stepped forward. Mara. The Beta's daughter, with her perfect blonde hair and her hand resting on her swollen belly. Six months pregnant with my mate's child.The betrayal burned through me like acid

Ruth's POV"You need to eat something."Marcus pushed a plate of toast toward me, but the smell made my stomach turn. Morning sickness had hit hard in the two weeks since Langmore's visit, though I suspected stress made it worse."I can't," I mumbled, pushing the plate away."The pup needs—""Don't," I snapped. "Don't talk to me about what the pup needs. Everyone suddenly thinks they're an expert on my pregnancy."Marcus sighed. "I'm just worried about you. You barely leave your room, you won't see the pack healer, and Dad says you've been refusing visitors.""What visitors?" I asked, though I already knew."Langmore has sent representatives three times. He's also sent gifts—jewelry, flowers, baby clothes.""Send them back.""Ruth—""I said send them back!" I stood up too quickly and immediately regretted it as the room spun. Marcus caught my arm before I could fall."That's it," he said firmly. "You're seeing the healer. Now.""I'm fine—""You're not fine. You're pale, you're not eat

Ruth's POVSix months should have been enough time to forget him.I stood in the nursery, folding tiny clothes for the hundredth time, trying to ignore the ache in my chest. The room was perfect—soft yellows and greens, a beautiful crib my father had handcrafted, shelves full of toys and books.Everything a pup could want. Everything except a father."You're thinking about him again."I turned to find Marcus in the doorway, holding a tray of food."No, I'm not," I lied."Your scent gives you away." He set the tray down. "You always smell like rain when you think of him."I hated that he was right. Even with the bond severed, I couldn't stop thinking about Langmore. Wondering where he was. If he was okay."Any news from Bloodmoon?" I asked, trying to sound casual.Marcus hesitated. "Ruth...""Just tell me.""It's chaos. Thomas tried to claim Alpha, but half the pack rebelled. Mara gave birth last week, and Thomas immediately announced the pup wasn't his. He rejected them both.""What?"
