Devlin’s POVFor four years, I gave everything I had to the Red Moon Pack. I ran the welfare programs, visited wounded warriors, sorted out family disputes, and stood right beside Jason whenever he needed me. When families came to the pack house with problems they couldn't solve themselves, I listened and helped them find solutions. The work wasn't always easy, but I took pride in knowing that people could depend on me.Still, most of the pack looked down on me.My wolf never came. Not at eighteen, not during the full moons, not ever. In a pack that only cared about claws and teeth, I was just a wolfless Luna. Some wolves didn't bother hiding their disappointment when I walked into a room, while others greeted me politely before turning away to whisper. They could acknowledge everything I did for the pack and still believe I wasn't good enough to lead them.I put up with the dirty looks because Jason used to tell me none of it mattered. He swore that being wolfless didn't change my w

Devlin's POVFor weeks, Jason had been avoiding me on purpose, using his own words—pack business—as an excuse while Chloe enjoyed every afternoon in the pack house as if it already belonged to her. Every time I entered a room, she somehow appeared, and every time Jason left the house to meet with the council, she was never far behind. Whenever I tried to have a private conversation with my mate, another interruption always seemed to come along.It was beginning to become obvious.I returned to the pack house early on a Thursday morning and stopped in the sitting room when I heard Jason's parents speaking in their usual language down the corridor. I held my breath and strained my ears to hear what they were saying, trying to pick out the words as quickly as they were being spoken."...conseil..." Charles growled grimly. "Annulation..."My heart pounded in my chest as my mind worked furiously to put the pieces together. Conseil—I knew that meant council. Annulation meant annulment.Isabe

Devlin’s POVI woke up the next morning with one decision already made. I wasn't going to spend another day sitting around feeling sorry for myself.That didn't mean I wasn't hurt. I was. My chest still felt heavy whenever I thought about Jason and Chloe, and the council meeting kept replaying in my mind. But sitting in my room crying over people who had already decided what they wanted from me wasn't going to change anything. If they were determined to treat me like I had no say in my own life, I wasn't going to help them by becoming a woman who simply waited for the next blow.So I got dressed and left the house. I spent the morning shopping for toiletries and a few hair products I needed. On my way back, I passed a small boutique and stopped outside. I don't know what made me walk in. Maybe I simply wanted to do something for myself.The attendant brought out several dresses, and I tried on a few without expecting to buy any. Then she brought out an emerald green dress that immedia

Jason’s POVThe Council’s ultimatum sat open on my desk, the deadline circled in red.Before the Solstice.They wanted an heir. They wanted certainty about the bloodline, and they wanted me to act before they decided my hesitation had become a threat to the pack.I had spent months avoiding this conversation. Every time the subject came up, I found another reason to push it aside. Devlin and I had talked about children early in our marriage. She wanted them. I had promised we would have them when the time was right.Then the months passed. We tried. It didn’t happen. Eventually, we stopped talking about it because every failed month left something painful between us. I looked at the document again, thinking about how long I had allowed Devlin to carry that pain alone.A knock sounded at the door.My mother entered without waiting for an answer. Her eyes went straight to the paper on my desk.“They gave you a deadline?”“Yes.”“And what are you going to do?”I closed the document. “Talk

Devlin’s POVThe estate was silent. Not a peaceful stillness, but a strange, heavy quiet that made every tiny sound echo through the halls.I lay awake beside Jason, staring into the dark bedroom while his breathing remained slow and rhythmic. He was completely at peace. I was drowning.My mind kept drifting back to the old Luna records I had combed through earlier that evening. The pack laws were clear. The Council’s authority had limits, and they could not simply dethrone me because they had decided another woman was more suitable. For the first time in years, I had uncovered something solid that belonged to me outside of my title, and it was grounded in truth.My throat eventually grew dry, and I slipped out of bed, pulling my robe tightly around my waist before cracking open the bedroom door.I had barely reached the top of the stairs when hushed voices drifted up from the floor below.“Chloe can't hide the pregnancy much longer,” Isabelle said, her tone sharp with urgency.My han
