Festival Tanabata

I never thought a dance could bring me disaster Tonight, at the annual Moon Goddess Festival, my brother, the heir of the Silver Moon pack, Aiden, and I performed a dance together. We won a lot of applause. Aiden made me the star of the festival. Unexpectedly, after the dance, Aiden's mate came with a group of sorority members to bully me. "How dare you flirt with Aiden? Omega! "Break her legs!" “No!No!No! I am Aiden’s sister!” I tried to explain, but they gagged me. I struggled desperately, but it only provoked an even more brutal beating. "If she's so horny, strip her naked and throw her into the boys' restroom," Bella said, standing nearby with her arms crossed. Tears of despair streamed down my face. Just then, Aiden arrived. "I'll make every one of you pay for this!" he roared.

My mate, Nolan, is the Alpha heir. He promised to return before the Moon Goddess Festival. We were supposed to have our mating ceremony. I promised him the Heart of the Pack. My parents’ legacy. It's the key to controlling our elite warriors—the Dire Wolves. It was to be my mating gift to him. But he came back with a rogue bitch draped all over him. A she-wolf with wild, hungry eyes. I waited for him at the festival, ready for our prayer. Instead, I watched him with her. Skylar. They were by the bonfire, nipping and teasing each other like no one else existed. I told him his behavior was improper for an heir. He laughed in my face. “Old-blood nobles are so boring. Not raw and real like Skylar.” He thinks getting the Heart of the Pack gives him the Dire Wolves. He has no idea. The Dire Wolves answer to my bloodline. Without me, the Heart of the Pack is just a rock.

But as her daughters’ school project awakens their curiosity about their family roots, Channary's carefully guarded walls begin to crumble.

Pada hari Festival Kue Bulan, akhirnya Deryl Luson setuju untuk menemaniku liburan. Namun ketika aku bangun di hotel, dia sudah menghilang. Setelah mencarinya seharian, aku melihat cinta pertamanya mengunggah sebuah postingan di Instagram. Di foto itu, dia dan Deryl sedang makan bersama orang tuanya. [Berkumpul bersama orang tua di malam kebersamaan, aku nggak akan didesak untuk mencari pacar lagi.] Di lehernya, dia memakai syal yang dibuatkan oleh ibuku sebelum meninggal. Aku meninggalkan komentar. [Jangan pakai barangku untuk menggoda suamiku. Lepaskan syal itu, kuberikan suamiku padamu.] Tak lama kemudian, cinta pertama suamiku mengunggah postingan baru. Syal itu sudah hancur berkeping-keping dan dibuang ke kandang anjing, dia menambahkan kutipan. [Sampah seperti ini, anjing pun nggak sudi memakainya.] Deryl menyukai postingan itu.
