Story Description: The Forgotten Luna For three years, Evelyn lived as a ghost within the walls of the Silvercrest Pack. As the unmated, human-born wife of Alpha Julian, she was meant to be protected; instead, she was systematically erased. While Julian led his pack with ruthless efficiency, Evelyn was relegated to the shadows, her presence ignored by the warriors and mocked by the high-ranking wolves. She was the "accidental Luna"—a title spoken only in whispers, a placeholder until Julian’s true fated mate finally emerged. The fragile peace of her quiet endurance shatters when Julian’s true mate, a powerful and ambitious high-born werewolf named Cynthia, returns to the territory. Expected to step down quietly and accept her exile, Evelyn decides she is done playing the victim. She vanishes into the night before the pack can formally cast her out, leaving behind a blank ring and a pack dynamic thrown into sudden, unexpected chaos. But a human surviving alone in a world governed by apex predators cannot remain hidden for long. When Evelyn’s path crosses with a rogue faction that isn't quite what it seems, she discovers secrets about her own lineage that rewrite the laws of the wolf kingdom. Meanwhile, back at Silvercrest, Julian finds that breaking a bond—even an artificial one—leaves a wound that refuses to heal, especially when he realizes the human he forgot was the only anchor keeping his inner beast sane.
