Novel & Cerita Alpha's Regret: The Luna Is Secret Heiress

Dominus Serenity. I could still hear the incantation. The formal gathering, the whole clan assembled, Raina in the front with a coronation dress on because everyone — including her — already knew how this was going to end. It was supposed to be Raina that would be chosen as Luna. Everyone agreed on that because she was the Alpha's childhood sweetheart who was prepared for that event and nobody in that room had any reason to think otherwise. I was only there to serve drinks. 'The moon goddess has spoken. And so, she has decreed that Alpha Lucien's chosen Luna is… her.'

"No one's going to use you… or hunt you… or decide what you are before I do." That was the Alpha speaking. But underneath it — something else. Something softer. I sat back again, eyes still locked on her. "Just wake up…"

“The First Alpha didn’t have one heir.” The statement landed like a stone dropped into still water. “What?” Ronan nodded slowly. “I found fragments years ago. Incomplete documents and contradictory accounts.” He looked toward Selina. “At the time, I assumed they were errors.” “And now?” Ronan exhaled. “Now I think they were erased.” The unease in the courtyard deepened. “What was erased?” Lyra asked. “The existence of a second heir.” The idea sounded impossible.Yet after everything they had witnessed, impossible no longer carried the weight it once had.

"It means Tricia is not your Luna… …she is the Alpha."

Age might have softened her appearance, but nobody in that room was foolish enough to forget who she used to be. “Your return raises many questions, Miss Chiara,” one of the elders finally spoke. He was a massive bald man with a thick beard and a voice like gravel. “What exactly is your intention in returning to the pack?” I expected that question. “You all know I am still legally married to Alpha Lorenzo,” I answered calmly, refusing to let my voice shake. “That alone makes me the rightful Luna of Nero Luna despite everything that happened between us.” “That means nothing,” a female council member interrupted sharply. Her faded blonde hair framed a face twisted with judgment. “You abandoned

“You used to beg for it.” “That was before my nephew became king,” she answered. “Before I had to watch him throw away the throne for a cursed bitch who manipulates him. Before I had to clean up the mess you helped make.” His eyes darkened. “You think I wanted this? Liora was supposed to be the next Luna. Pure blood. Obedient. Controllable. Not this… abomination.” Elena yanked her wrist free and shoved him back a step.

one said. “May he grow strong,” another added stiffly. But their gazes betrayed their unease. They had expected a strong cry, a fierce first howl. Instead, the child had whimpered. Weak. Fragile. Celina’s smile never faltered. She held her baby high enough for all to see, her voice steady and commanding. “He may be small now, but he is Kael’s blood, Alpha blood. He will grow into his strength, and when he does, he will take his rightful place. I am Luna. He is heir. And none will dare to stand against us.”

I knelt and proclaimed, “Great Alpha, I bring you good news.” “Speak,” the Alpha commanded. “I know who the true Luna is. She was once my father’s concubine, but now she stands as a Luna. She is the key you seek.” “Why do you bring this news, and what do you offer?” the Alpha queried. “I seek to be second in command of your army when I deliver her to you. I want your witch to empower me greatly, to become feared and unknown.” “The witch by my side makes us unstoppable.” “You wish to deliver the Luna?” the Alpha asked again.

“I didn’t come back for politics, Lucian. I came back for you. This child is just… proof of what was always between us. A bond we could never sever.” Lucian kissed her then, not with desperation this time, but with deep, reverent love. His hand remained splayed protectively across her abdomen as though he could already feel the tiny life within. When their lips parted, he rested his forehead against hers, his eyes fierce with promise. “You’ll be my Luna. Not tomorrow, not someday—now. Before the moon turns, the Highlands will know their Alpha has a mate, and that she carries his heir.” Rayne’s heart swelled, tears spilling again. “Are you sure? So soon?”

"The lowly Alpha, who was the hidden Luna's partner, died tragically at the competition. His neck was tw—" "I don't need to know the details of his death." He lifted his eyes to look at me. "The hidden Luna is pregnant, Alpha." A line formed in between my brows upon hearing what he said. I must have heard him wrong. "Come again???" He didn't utter a word, but I already knew what it meant. He's serious. How come I did not hear about this important news? I swear in my grave. I'm sure that that baby is mine. Nikita and I have a child.
