When the Moonmark Was Switched
In Nightfang Pack, an Alpha heir can only claim the woman he loves if he draws the Moonmark.
For six straight years, Seth drew a blank lot.
This year, I overheard him speaking to his Beta.
“Alpha, are you really going to switch the Moonmark for a blank lot again?”
“Aren’t you afraid Layla will learn the truth and leave you? She may seem gentle, but she’s strong-willed deep down. If she truly decides to go, no one can hold her back.”
Seth’s voice was calm and certain.
“She has no family and no friends. If she leaves me, where could she possibly go?”
“Ian’s father died saving me. His last wish was for me to stay by her side for six years. When this year ends, I’ll give Layla the grand mating ceremony she deserves.”
The last shred of hope in my heart shattered the moment I heard those words.
What he never knew was that if he failed to claim me this year, I would not be the one abandoned.
I would return to my true pack.
Take back the name and throne I had hidden for him.
Seth, as the heir to the Starmoon Pack, I was never someone who needed your protection.
