Chapter 1

Callum stared at the dress as the flames consumed it.Without a thought for his own safety, he tore off his black cloak and beat out the fire.Then, with his eyes bloodshot, he seized my wrist in front of the entire pack and dragged me behind the Moon Goddess Tree.“What the heck is this supposed to mean, Charlotte? Is this some kind of game to you?”The elder presiding over the festival hurriedly ordered the crowd to disperse.I looked at Callum in silence.He stood so close that I could smell Isabella’s white-rose perfume lingering on him.Suddenly, I remembered the rogue attack in the border woods nine years ago.Callum had shifted into a black wolf and thrown himself between me and the rogue, tearing out its throat before it could kill me.What neither of us knew was that the rogue’s claws had been coated in silver poison. Callum saved my life that night, but the poison had already seeped into my wolf soul.He had not yet inherited the Alpha title then. Covered in blood, he had hel

?“It’s always the same. She can’t live without me.”Gamma nodded. “Of course. How could Charlotte ever bring herself to leave you? The whole pack knows she waited eight years to become your Luna.”He wasn’t wrong about what everyone believed.They all remembered that I had waited eight years. No one remembered that the waiting had never been one-sided.Callum had been the first to take my hand, and every year, he had been the one asking me to keep believing in him.But there would be no next time.I gave a bitter smile and quickened my pace as I left Moon Goddess Square.The next day, Callum brought Isabella to the pack infirmary.My colleagues watched me with concern while I calmly handed my resignation to the head healer.She stared at me in surprise.“Charlotte, you’re the best healer we have. Why would you leave so suddenly?”“Is this because the Alpha stood you up at the festival again?”I pressed my lips together wearily.Everyone seemed to think that every choice I made—whether

?I spent the rest of the day handing over my work.Near dusk, the Gamma came into my treatment room and placed two tickets to the Moonlight Theater on my desk.“You know the Alpha. He isn’t good at apologizing, and sometimes he acts without thinking, but he does care about you.”“You’ve wanted to see The Moon Goddess’s Daughter for ages. The moment he heard it was being performed, he reserved the best seats.”“Nine tonight, outside the Moonlight Theater. Please be there, Charlotte.”I studied the tickets thoughtfully.I knew they were Callum’s way of extending an olive branch, and I understood that the show was his attempt to make amends.I had no intention of going until the Gamma told me Callum also wanted to discuss our Marking Ceremony.There were things that needed to be said face-to-face.At nine, I arrived outside the Moonlight Theater.Callum appeared in a long black coat.But he was not alone. Isabella was right behind him.When he saw me looking at her, he immediately explai

?The moment Callum saw me, he strode forward and pulled me into his arms.“The show ended hours ago. Where have you been? Why didn’t you come home? Didn’t you realize I’d be worried?”“And don’t read anything into what you saw on TV. Isabella and I were only handling the attack on the Silver Ridge envoys. There’s nothing between us.”It took me a moment to remember what footage he meant.“It’s fine. I’m used to it.”My indifference seemed to remind him of everything he had done over the years. For once, guilt flickered across his face.Then he held out a black velvet box.Inside was a ring set with a large moonstone.I went still.I had dreamed of this moment more times than I could count.I had imagined Callum sliding a ring onto my finger and finally giving our nine years together the promise they deserved.But now, the sight of it stirred nothing in me.I placed it casually on the table.Callum’s expression changed. Frowning, he followed me inside.“You really have changed, Charlot

Chapter 5

Callum's POVIsabella stood before me in a silver-white gown, wearing the moonstone ring I had given Charlotte. The smile on her face froze.“Callum, it’s me. Aren’t you happy to see me?”I ignored her and looked past her, searching the crowd for Charlotte.She wasn’t there.The Moon Goddess Tree was surrounded by pack members, but the Omega I had stood up eight years in a row was nowhere to be seen.Isabella lowered her voice. “Callum, the entire pack is watching. Please don’t humiliate me in front of everyone.”I stared at the moonstone ring on her finger as the sense of foreboding inside me grew stronger.“Why are you wearing that ring?”“Charlotte gave it to me.”Isabella seemed to regain her confidence. She lifted her hand to show me the ring.“She finally realized that the one who isn’t loved is the one who doesn’t belong. She even gave me her place beneath the Moon Goddess Tree tonight.”“You have to admit, she can be surprisingly sensible sometimes...”An inexplicable fury rose

Chapter 6

Callum's POVI searched every room in the house.Charlotte’s medicines were gone. So were the healing notes she had spent years compiling and the photograph of us beside the bed, taken nine years ago.She had left nothing behind for me.My Gamma arrived soon afterward, breathless in the doorway.“Alpha, we found out what happened. Charlotte resigned from the infirmary yesterday afternoon. This evening, she boarded a train and left Blackstone territory.”The news exploded inside my head like thunder.I whipped around. “Where did she go?”“She got off at the border station. No one has seen her since.”I tightened my grip on the moonstone ring until its sharp edge bit into my palm.“Send every patrol team to the border. Find her.”“Search every station, inn, and infirmary near our territory. Leave nothing unchecked.”The Gamma hurried away to carry out my orders.I was about to follow when one of the pack members responsible for cleaning Moon Goddess Square rushed toward me.He handed me

Chapter 7

Charlotte's POVAfter the train stopped at the border, I changed routes twice before finally reaching the house my mother had left me.The laurel tree in the yard was much taller than I remembered.When I pushed open the wooden door, dust drifted slowly through the sunlight. Everything inside looked exactly as it had when my mother left.The pain was too severe for me to sleep.I injected myself with a dose of painkillers. Not long after I lay down, hurried footsteps sounded outside.Maya pushed open the door and stared at me with red-rimmed eyes.“Why didn’t you tell me sooner, Charlotte?”Leaning against the headboard, I managed a faint smile.“What difference would it have made? You would only have started crying a few months earlier.”Maya bit her lip, but the tears fell anyway.We had met at the healing academy. After graduation, she joined another pack. We rarely saw each other over the years, but we never lost touch.She moved into the cottage without another word, cleaning the

Chapter 8

Callum's POVI searched the borderlands for Charlotte for three full days.The patrol teams combed every nearby town, but there was no trace of her.Only after I found the registration record from when Charlotte had fled to the Blackstone Pack ten years ago did I remember the cottage her mother had left behind in Laurel Town.I gathered every medicine that might ease the effects of silver poisoning and traveled through the night.All the way there, I kept telling myself she would be fine.I had stood Charlotte up eight years in a row.She loved me so much. How could she bear to die and leave me behind?As long as I reached her, as long as I told her the Marking Ceremony was ready, she would come home with me and receive treatment.At daybreak, I finally saw the cottage.But a bundle of white laurel branches hung outside the gate—a sign used only when a member of the pack had died.I froze. The medicine case slipped from my hand and struck the ground.Glass shattered, and the medicines

Chapter 9

Callum's POVCharlotte’s farewell ceremony was held the next day.Maya refused to let me come close. I could only follow the procession from a distance and watch as they buried her beneath the laurel tree.Her gravestone bore only her name. There was no mention of the Blackstone Pack. No mention of me.It was as if our nine years together had never existed.Once everyone had left, I approached the grave and placed the moonstone ring beside her photograph.“I’m here, Charlotte.”“I didn’t break my promise this time. Please open your eyes and look at me.”No one answered.The wind stirred the laurel tree, and a fallen leaf landed on my shoulder.I sat before her grave all night, memories of our life together flashing endlessly through my mind.I remembered her waking for the first time and asking my name with a pale face.I remembered her wearing a festival gown for the first time and nervously asking whether she looked beautiful.I remembered her standing under the Moon Goddess Tree for

Chapter 10

Charlotte's POVAfter I died, my spirit left my body and drifted above the cottage.I watched Maya sort through my belongings. I also watched Callum kneel outside the gate and call my name again and again.He arrived only two hours after my death.This time, he had almost managed not to be late.But almost was still too late.After the farewell ceremony, my spirit began to fade.A silver light appeared behind the laurel tree, and I saw my mother standing within it, smiling as she reached out to me.I was about to go to her when a dark force suddenly wrapped around my body and dragged me into endless darkness.When I opened my eyes again, I saw Callum.He knelt in the center of a black magic circle, blood pouring from his palm while the moonstone ring floated before him.The moment he saw me, he reached out with bloodshot eyes.“Charlotte, come back.”“I’ll marry you immediately. I’ll make you Luna of the Blackstone Pack, and no one will ever laugh at you again.”I quickly recovered fro
