Chapter 1

I agreed so quickly that a flash of shock crossed Felix's eyes."Nova, you..."Before he could finish, Serena was already impatiently tugging at his shirt, pulling him toward the center of the altar.Felix swallowed his questions, instinctively trying to comfort me."Nova, Serena grew up outside the pack and doesn't know the rules. Just play along with her.""I'll explain everything to the Pack Council in a few days. I promise to give you the biggest bonding ceremony later. You're the only mate I acknowledge."But I didn't want to be his Luna anymore.My eyes burned as I watched them stand close together. I turned around and walked away.As soon as I started my car, I called the pack Beta."Send out a notice. Cancel tonight's mating party immediately. Charge all the cancellation fees to my personal account."After handling that, I opened my email and replied to the job offer I had planned to decline.[The contract is signed. I'll arrive on time for the wildlife shoot in the Northern Un

The shout caused the entire estate to erupt into applause. That single voice drew every eye toward us.I pressed my lips together tightly, instinctively looking up at Felix, who was standing a few steps away.But his eyes weren't on me at all. Instead, he looked helplessly at Serena beside him, as if asking for her help.My heart seized violently, feeling like it was being crushed. I blinked hard and looked away.I must have been crazy to expect anything from him. The person who stood with him on the altar today was Serena, not me.Facing the excited gazes of the surrounding wolves, I spoke coldly."Why are you looking at me? I wasn't the one on the altar today. You should be cheering for Serena."The room went dead silent instantly. Everyone in the pack knew exactly how much Felix spoiled his adopted sister.Felix's face darkened."Nova, do you have to be so hostile on an occasion like this?""I already explained that the altar thing was just for fun. She's just my sister. As the futu

I didn't stop walking. Instead, I walked even faster, but he still caught my wrist in a tight grip."Nova, what exactly are you so mad about?"As an Alpha, Felix usually had great control over his emotions. But this time, his eyes burned with real anger.I didn't understand what he meant. Just as I was about to ask, he spoke first."I thought you actually realized you were wrong, but I didn't expect you to be so spiteful.""You know perfectly well that Serena and I are just brother and sister. You and I are the ones who will ultimately have the bonding ceremony. Yet you purposely brought up the altar in front of everyone, and then threw the moonstone back at me. What is that supposed to mean?""Do you have to twist our bond into something dirty just because of your petty jealousy? If you cause the whole pack to gossip about her, how is Serena supposed to survive here?"Every word slammed directly into my chest, making my eyes burn.And here I thought he chased after me to explain why h

Just as I sent it, Serena's voice echoed from a distance. "Felix, the elders are telling you to hurry back."Felix turned around instantly, his feet subconsciously stepping in her direction.After taking two steps, he finally remembered I was still behind him. He froze for a second, then turned back. "Nova, what did you just say to me?"Before I could repeat it, he chuckled, brushing it off dismissively. "Whatever it is, you make the call. You're going to be the Luna anyway."He reached out and pinched my cheek. His movements were rushed, as if he was strapped for time."I know you hate these noisy events, so go back to the Packhouse and wait for me. Mind-link me when you get home. I won't walk you back, okay?"He spoke like it was a discussion, but he had no intention of listening to my answer. As soon as he finished speaking, he strode away without looking back.Watching his back as he jogged toward Serena, a cold numbness settled in my heart.I finally understood that those seemingl

The agent's words made my mind go completely blank. I even thought it was a prank call.I had personally gone to the Pack Council to register the territory of the Starfall Lake Resort. How could the owner suddenly become Serena!Sensing my silence, the agent sighed helplessly and forwarded the digital deed transfer to my email.I clicked open the document. The dense legal clauses made my eyes sting, but I still managed to instantly catch my own familiar signature.My whole body stiffened. I searched through all my memories but couldn't recall when I had ever signed this transfer agreement.It wasn't until my eyes landed on the date that the memory flooded my brain like an explosion.It was the night before Serena's coming-of-age ceremony. Felix had suddenly handed me a thick stack of documents."Nova, these are the applications for tax exemptions and border defense upgrades for the resort. They need your consent as the co-owner. Just sign here for me."I was busy processing a batch of

Chapter 6

After saying my piece, I didn't look at Felix's furrowed brows again. I turned around and walked toward the door.I had barely taken one step when Serena blocked my path."Nova, it's just a resort. I'll give it back to you. Why do you have to make things so hard for Felix?"Her big, round eyes were brimming with tears. She looked so fragile, as if she could be crushed at any moment.But I felt absolutely no sympathy.I looked at her coldly. "Move. When you begged for this land, you didn't care about putting him in a tough spot. Why act so considerate now?"Serena's face drained of color.I knew I had hit a nerve. If she hadn't purposely asked for it, Felix wouldn't have gone out of his way to process the transfer.Her tears spilled over instantly.The next second, my wrist was clamped by a tight grip.I tried to forcefully break free, but Felix violently yanked me aside.An Alpha's furious strength was terrifying. I stumbled backward several steps. My lower back crashed hard into a mas

Chapter 7

The truck's engine roared as it sped away from the territory. In the rearview mirror, the massive Packhouse grew smaller and smaller until it faded into a distant black dot.Heading to the northern wilderness for the storm shoot was full of unknown dangers. But it was the perfect place to bury seven years of pain and mistreatment.And the people left behind probably wouldn't even notice that I was gone.After all, no one right now would care where a powerless future Luna was going. Or who she was going to see.Meanwhile, in the pack hospital, Felix sat under the cold lights of the clinic for a long time. In the end, he couldn't bring himself to hand in the sample. He pushed the door open and walked out without doing it.Serena was waiting at the end of the hallway. The moment she saw him, she threw herself at him. Her fingers tightly gripped his sleeves. But when she saw he didn't have anything, the smile on her face completely froze.Those eyes, always looking so innocent and sad, ins

Chapter 8

When Felix heard those words back then, it felt like claws were tearing at his heart.He spiraled into extreme guilt. He hated himself for being a brother who was completely blind to the pain of her damaged wolf.The truth was, he and Serena weren't biological siblings. They shared no blood ties at all.Serena was six years younger than him. When he pulled her from a pile of bodies, she had barely learned how to walk.Back then, the Pack Seer predicted that Felix carried a curse that would bring doom to his parents. To break the curse, his Alpha parents adopted her from distant relatives at the border. They claimed she would balance his fate.At first, Felix was extremely impatient with this burden. In his eyes, this weak Omega pup would only slow down his hunting.So during their years wandering as rogues, he rarely gave her a nice look. He wouldn't even bother saying a word when tossing her a piece of raw meat.Until one time, he was slashed by a crazed bear shifter during a fight o

Chapter 9

Felix frowned. Thinking it was just a temporary block in their bond, he sent it again.But after trying several times, the other end remained completely silent.That unease surged up again. Frowning, he unlocked his phone and opened his texts with Nova.He sent paragraph after paragraph of explanations and apologies, but he got nothing back. He waited a long time, but the screen never lit up.But Felix actually let out a breath, feeling like he was just being paranoid.Nova was definitely still furious over that ridiculous test at the hospital. That was why she stubbornly cut off the link to ignore him.It wasn't like they hadn't had silent treatments like this before. Why was he panicking for nothing?How was it that as his power over the territory grew, he still turned into an anxious little pup whenever his mate got angry?Good thing he hadn't been blocked yet. He still had a line of communication open, so he knew things couldn't be that bad.Felix remembered a time in the past when

Chapter 10

The words hit like a hammer, and the narrow hallway fell dead silent. It was so quiet that even their heavy breathing could be heard.For a moment, Felix thought he had misheard.What did he mean she was faking it?That diary filled with crazy scribbles, all those out-of-control behaviors over the years. How could she not be sick?In his stunned silence, the look in Arthur's eyes grew more certain. It was the chilling certainty of a doctor who had seen through a lie.He looked straight into Felix's eyes and said again without any hesitation, "She is faking it."This made Felix even more confused. Back then, this very pack doctor had almost confidently said that Serena's inner wolf was damaged.Now, after just one meeting, his story had completely flipped. Felix felt like he had been played for seven years.Arthur lowered his head, his tone carrying a hint of apology. "This also involves my mistake from back then.""If what was written in that diary was truly her real state of mind, the
