Chapter 1

The bass from the Eclipse Pack’s grand ballroom vibrated straight through the soles of my boots, but inside my chest, there was only a freezing, hollow silence.One week. I had exactly one week until the Blood Moon.In my past life, this was the night I had dressed in crimson satin, waiting like a naive fool for Nyxen to pick me up. Instead, he had left me behind, showing up to his own pre-mating bachelor gala with Aphra on his arm. I had swallowed the humiliation back then, putting on a brave face to defend his honor, convinced by his whispered lies that it was "just politics" and that I was the only she-wolf who truly held his heart.What a joke.I pushed open the heavy oak doors of the ballroom, stepping into the lion's den.The party was in full swing. Alcohol flowed, wolves danced, and right at the center of the VIP lounge sat Nyxen Stormborn. And draped across his lap, looking small and fragile in a pale white dress, was Aphra.Nyxen’s hand was wrapped possessively around her wa

"She’s just trying to save face," one of the she-wolves in the circle whispered loudly. "As if she'd ever give up the chance to be the Luna of the Eclipse Pack.""Exactly," Jaxon chimed in, laughing. "We all know you’ve been trailing after Nyxen since we were kids, Lucy. You'd swallow broken glass before you let another woman have him. Nice try on the reverse psychology, though."Nyxen took another step closer, leaning in so only I could hear him, his breath hot against my ear. "You think your pathetic act would earn my attention?" he whispered, his tone venomous. "You love me so much that you can even die for me, Lucy. You're incapable of walking away from me. Stop embarrassing yourself, accept that Aphra will be by my side, and perform your duties."He pulled back, offering me a patronizing hand, waiting for me to take it and prove to the room that he had me tamed.He wasn't wrong, though. In my previous life, I had believed all his pathetic lies; no one would just because he would o

I shouldn't be so surprised, though. I had encouraged him by delivering anything he demanded within seconds, no matter how many miles I had to run just to get his errands done.He had once asked me to deliver sanitary pads to the luxurious motel once.I walked over to the medical cabinet, pulling out a small, velvet-lined box containing the soft pads.Twenty minutes later, I arrived at the location. The lights inside were dimmed to a soft, warm amber. Through the sheer curtains, I could see two shadows. Nyxen was sitting on the edge of the bed, his shirt unbuttoned, while Aphra sat close to him, her head resting against his shoulder.I walked inside.Aphra gasped, instantly pulling the silk sheets up to her chin, her eyes darting to me in manufactured terror. "Lucy! I—we didn't mean to trouble you. It was an accident—""Quiet, Aphra," Nyxen said gently, rubbing her arm before turning his gaze to me. He didn't look a bit guilty. In fact, his eyes gleamed with a dark, twisted satisfactio

Chapter 4

One question that had been bothering me was whether he knew we were going to bind our souls on Blood Moon. But before I could ask it, he said it himself. “Tomorrow our parents will finalize the arrangements for our mating ceremony. Are you… okay with it?” A genuine smile appeared on my lips as I said, “More than just okay, I’m happy.” ***Later that night, Aphra connected me through a mind link and let me hear the voices of their absurd groans. She said, “Since you didn't deliver the lubricant, Nyxen said he didn't care if I get pregnant with his child; he will take care of me and my baby.” “From this night on, I’m moving to Nyxen's pack, Lucy. Tell your parents to erase my name from their pack’s register. I belong to Nyxen now.”I only smirked at her. The little show she was letting me watch– only to feel jealous of her? We will see who is going to have the last laugh when she finds out the man she is so proud of is only an adopted child while the man I’m going to mate with is th

Chapter 5

Nyxen’s face contorted with rage, his grip tightening on my arm until it bruised. "You should know your limits!"Aphra suddenly stepped out from behind the training shed, letting out a soft, mocking sigh as she placed a comforting hand on Nyxen’s tense forearm."Lucy just wants your attention, Nyxen. Stop wasting your energy on her," she purred, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction.Then, she pulled out her phone and held it up for the surrounding pack members to see. "Look, everyone. This is the new training obstacle I built for my tracking pup. Isn't it clever?"I narrowed my eyes at the screen. The smooth, obsidian stone base and the intricate silver-runed binding leather used to secure the hurdles looked texturally and elementally unique."Where did you get the leather and the runed stone for that?" I asked, my voice dropping to a dangerous whisper."Oh, I found an old crate of ceremonial binding regalia in Nyxen’s pack-house quarters," Aphra replied smugly, tilting her chin up. "I

Chapter 6

The silence that fell over the training grounds was so heavy you could hear the autumn leaves hitting the dirt.Nyxen’s smug smirk froze on his face. His eyes darted from his father to Alieus, then back to me, the color rapidly draining from his cheeks until he looked entirely ghost-white."W-what?" Nyxen stammered, his voice cracking. "Father... what are you talking about? She's my promised mate. She’s supposed to be my Luna!"Alpha Edward stood up, his towering form casting a dark shadow over his adopted son."You fool," Edward growled, his voice vibrating with absolute disgust. "Did you truly believe a high-ranking pack's heiress would bow to your arrogance after the way you've paraded another female around? Lucy exercised her ancestral right to reject you the moment you breached pack conduct. She chose Alieus three days ago—a choice fully backed by her parents, myself, and the Elders."Beside Nyxen, Aphra’s triumphant posture completely collapsed. The phone slipped from her trembli

Chapter 7

Alpha Edward requested my parents and me to stay in their pack’s guest wing till the day of the Blood Moon. He also promised to help his pack's priest prepare another sacred harness for our mating ceremony that is no less sacred than the earlier one.I was more than content with the love and care I had been getting in this life I lacked in my previous life. In my previous life, even after I cried in the ocean, Nyxen remained indifferent and only offered me an iron chain in its place. While in this life, after I chose Alieus, the world seemed to be tilting around me.Later that night, as I stood on the balcony of my guest quarters, the heavy scent of crushed pine and ozone told me I was not alone.I didn't even need to turn around to know who had breached the perimeter guards."You must really have a death wish, Nyxen," I said, keeping my hands resting lightly on the cold stone railing. "Entering the future Luna’s private wing unannounced is grounds for execution.""Shut up, Lucy!"Nyxe

Chapter 8

Nyxen dragged himself up against the cold balustrade, his breath coming in jagged, desperate gasps. Even with Alieus’s towering shadow casting over him, the madness in his eyes hadn't entirely faded. He looked at Alieus, the fear he always had in his eyes gone and replaced by pure fury and jealousy. “You stay out of it, Uncle.” He spat, “Don't flatter yourself too much. Lucy is only mating with you to provoke me. She trails around me like a dog; there is no way she would choose anyone else except me.” He then turned to me, his voice dropping from a growl into a ragged, pathetic plea. "You’re making a mistake, Lucy. You’re confused because you're angry at me. We were supposed to be the future of this pack! Think about everything we planned—the legacy, the throne! My uncle is just taking advantage of your spite. Look at me, Lucy. Tell me you can really just throw us away for him!"I didn't flinch. I didn't step back. I simply looked at him, feeling nothing but a profound, hollow pity f

Chapter 9

The three days following Nyxen’s public breakdown flew by in a blur of swift, decisive justice.In the grand hall of the Pack House, Alpha Edward presided over the council with a cold, unyielding fury. Nyxen—stripped of his future Alpha title, his rank, and his pride—sat bound in heavy silver chains beside Aphra, who quivered with wide, terrified eyes."For the destruction of the sacred Moon-Blessed Harness, treasonous disrespect toward elders, and gross abuse of pack authority," Alpha Edward declared, his voice booming off the vaulted stone ceilings, "Nyxen is sentenced to three months in the deep subterranean dungeons, followed by perpetual labor in the border iron mines."Nyxen gasped, his face draining of all color. "Father—no! You can't do this to me over a few old straps!""I am your Alpha, not your father, from this moment on," Edward growled, refusing to look at him.He sighed, “When I had lost my son, I dared put you in my Luna's lap to console her grieving wolf… I regret doin

Chapter 10

Nyxen’s wild laughter echoed off the ancient pine trees, but as I stood behind Alieus, a cold clarity washed over me. In my previous life, during the early years of our disastrous union, Nyxen had drunkenly boasted about his emergency escape routes—and the shadowy rogue faction he had secretly funded on the pack's northern border as a contingency plan.I knew their leader. I knew their dark magic. And, most importantly, I knew their fatal weakness."Alieus," I whispered, stepping out from behind his shoulder, my voice steady despite the chaos around us. "The mercenary Alpha leading them—that's Malakor. His dark runes aren't powered by rogue magic; they're bound to a blood-pact talisman anchored to the obsidian stone in his chest harness. Destroy the stone, and the contract breaks. The rogues will turn on whoever hired them."Alieus glanced down at me, a dangerous, dark smile breaking across his features. "Are you sure, my sweet wolf?""I'd stake my life on it," I replied coldly, lockin
