Chapter 1

Layla's POVFor ten years, the entire pack called Adeline Hill their future Luna. Nobody corrected them.Not even my mate, Alpha Finn Cooper.Even though she found her mate five years ago and left to his pack, everyone still anticipated when she would return to rule beside Finn as his Luna.Today was finally the day she returned, and the excitement radiating through the pack was impossible to miss.Finn signed the documents on his desk one after another without even looking at them. Instead, his eyes remained fixed on the television mounted on the wall, displaying Adeline's convoy almost arriving at the border of Silvercrest Pack.Pack members lined the streets, holding placards and chanting, "WELCOME BACK, LUNA ADELINE!"Finn stood to leave when a throat cleared in the room. His Beta, Derek Hill, Adeline's elder brother, stalked forward. "Alpha, my sister can come visit you later. Luna isn't well. Maybe you should stay with her instead?"Finn's lips curved into a frown. "Adeline is

Chapter 2

Four days passed faster than the wind. Everywhere I turned, pack members were posting pictures with Adeline.Finn had also stayed at the pack house, leaving me alone at his house, where pack members assumed I was a maid.Today was my birthday, and as usual, I knew I would celebrate alone. Being wolfless got me worse treatment than the omegas.I was packing away the laundry when someone knocked on my door."Come in."The door opened, and Beta Derek rushed in, breathing heavily.I jumped up, my heart racing."Is something wrong? Did something happen to Finn?"Derek didn't answer. Instead, he shoved a white dress into my arms."Get dressed, Luna. We'll be late."I frowned. Late for what?Seeing my confused face, Derek said, "I almost forgot. Three weeks ago, Alpha asked me to bring you to the pack square on this day in this dress."My heart jumped.The pack square. And a white dress... What Lunas wear.Today was my birthday. Could it be that even without my wolf appearing, Finn was finall

"Luna! Are you okay?"The panic in his voice made my heart ache."I'm fine," I whispered, stepping back from him.I glanced towards the stage, where Finn was affectionately hugging a visibly shaken Adeline.Without another word, I turned and walked off.I was almost at the house when a hand clasped around mine."I'm sorry," Finn said immediately as I turned."For?" I asked, my voice flat.He sighed and rubbed the back of his neck."I know today is important to you. I even planned to introduce you as my mate before everyone today.""Oh.""I also wanted to come protect you, but Adeline..."I raised a brow."You know she lost her mate. Rogue attacks give her panic attacks. I couldn't leave her side."My heart gave a painful jump."I promise I'll make it up to you."I almost laughed."This time, I promise I'll announce our bond during the New Moon Festival tomorrow."The words should have made me happy.But after today, and after hearing them ninety-nine times, I felt nothing."You promise

Chapter 4

Layla's POVI woke up as soon as the clock struck midnight on the day of the New Moon Festival.The day Finn promised to announce our bond.I folded and placed my last piece of clothing into my duffel bag.“We're actually free!” Alana screamed excitedly in my head.A small smile graced my lips. “Yes, we are. But why are you so happy? Won't you miss your mate?”“Why wouldn't I be happy?” my wolf scoffed. “That Alpha is an idiot. I believe even his wolf is no exception.”Our discussion was cut short by a knock sounding at the door.I opened to see Finn, his face lit up in a bright smile. My chest fluttered, and my feet moved towards him before my brain could catch up.He wrapped his arms around me and sniffed my neck. “You smell... different.”I clenched my fists and wiggled out of his embrace. In a few hours, our mate bond would bedissolved. I'll never feel drawn to him again.“Maybe it's because you're excited about today,” he said, smiling. “You'll finally stand at my side as Luna.”

Chapter 5

Finn's POVThere were only a few minutes left before the opening of the festival when Adeline and I arrived at the grounds.I looked around quickly, my brows furrowed as I didn't see Layla or Derek anywhere around.My plan for today was to pick Layla up myself, but I asked Derek to do so when Adeline informed me some pack members were gossiping about her.Adeline's step slowed down as we approached the crowd of wolves. I turned to her, seeing her head lowered and her eyes filled with tears.I squeezed her hand, making her look at me. “Don't worry. No one will say anything about you while I'm here.”“Thank you, Finny. You always protect me. Without you, I won't survive,” she whispered softly.I smiled back at her, pinching her cheeks.“See how perfect the Alpha and Adeline are? I really hope they're mates,” a pack member said to her friends.As expected, Carl, my wolf, growled.I frowned.“What is wrong with you these days?” I asked him. He always did this whenever someone mentioned Ade

Chapter 6

Layla's POVI observed Finn, my face void of any emotion. Almost all my life, hearing his voice had made my heart flutter.But today, I felt nothing. "You tell me, dear Alpha. What does it look like I'm doing?" I retorted.Finn's jaw clenched. He wiggled his arms out of the grip of his warriors and staggered like a drunken man towards me.He seemed so weak that as soon as he reached me, his legs dropped him to the ground."You're leaving?" Finn rasped.“Obviously. Any problem with that?”A gasp rippled through the group of warriors and pack members who had gathered.Finn dragged himself closer. “No! You can't leave.”"And why not?"Finn blinked twice, as if he couldn't believe I was asking him that."Layla, what do you mean, why not? This is your home!"I shook my head as soon as the words landed. “You're wrong, Alpha. This is your home.”“Layla, don't call me that. It makes me look like a stranger.” Finn's voice shook.My eyes drifted behind him, sweeping through the crowd.“Alpha, h

Chapter 7

I raised a brow."Because she lost her mate, Layla. She lost her mate."“Just like I've lost mine,” I said without skipping a beat.Finn's face paled. “Layla, please... I'm right here. You haven't lost me—”"I have." I cut him off mid-sentence, pointing to my neck, to the place where his mark had once been.“I gave you many chances, Finn. You just chose her over and over again.”Finn's body went completely still. "Layla, I... just... I never chose her. I thought you understood and supported me. When did I choose her over you?"A bitter laugh escaped my throat.“When, Finn? When didn't you choose her?”“You placed your mark where my hair would cover it, would hide it.”Finn shook his head, his eyes glistening.“You told the pack I was only working at your house as a live-in maid.”“No, Layla. It's because—”“You missed all my birthdays in five years, each time because something happened to her.”“Layla,” Finn whispered, shaking his head.“You protected her while your wolfless mate stood

Chapter 8

All eyes turned toward the source of the deep voice, mine included.Gasps rippled through the crowd as almost every wolf present openly admired the tall man striding confidently out of the thick, dark forest.His piercing blue eyes calmly swept over everyone before landing on me. Without hesitation, he walked straight toward me."It's nice to see you again, Miss Layla," he said, stopping an arm's length away.I frowned. Again?“We met a few days ago,” he muttered with a calm smile, as if he had read my thoughts.My brows squinted as I searched his face, letting out a gasp as the memory crashed into me.He was the rogue. The terrifying rogue who had stared at me during the attack on my birthday.My eyes widened, and I took two steps back.Even if I had a wolf now, there was no way my tiny Alana could take on someone half his size.His throat vibrated with a deep chuckle."Easy there, my lady. I'm not going to hurt you."I scoffed. “You almost tore me to pieces days ago.”He gave a cheek

Chapter 9

Mates? Didn't Adeline say her mate died in a rogue attack?Adeline's eyes lit up. "You're really alive, Tristan. I still have my mate."A low scoff escaped his throat. His gaze moved from Adeline to Finn, then back to her.Adeline stood frozen in place for a few minutes, then, as though finally waking from a dream, she leapt forward."Tristan!"She extended her arms for a hug, but before she could touch him, Tristan stepped sideways.Her arms wrapped around the empty air. She stumbled, almost reaching the floor.“Don't make a fool of yourself, Adeline. I didn't come here for you."Adeline shook her head, her eyes glistening with unshed tears."W-what do you mean, Tristan?" she muttered.Tristan's face remained blank."Stop pretending. I'm just a rogue now, Adeline," he said mockingly. "No power, no wealth, no title."His lips curled into a sarcastic smile."We both know you can't survive with a nobody like me as your mate."I frowned, my mind racing to make sense of what was going on.

Chapter 10

The laughter of women and the screams of excited pups filled the air as we sat around the bonfire.Four months. That's how long I had been a part of Tristan's pack, which, just like he said, was home.The men had gone hunting while the women took time decorating the pack grounds for the pack's celebration.Suddenly, a couple of black SUVs pulled into the driveway of the pack house.A smirk tugged at my lips. Finally. Just as Tristan and I predicted.I remained seated, adjusting the collar of a little boy's suit while the atmosphere around me shifted.The entire courtyard fell silent, all eyes turning to the intruder."Layla..."Finn's voice was hoarse, as though he had cried until his throat gave out. Nothing like the calm, confident alpha I had left behind."Layla... please look at me."I rolled my eyes and turned. The moment my eyes landed on him, they widened in shock.Finn looked.... different.His always clean hair hung in messy strands across his face. His eyes were sunken, shado
