Alpha Begged Heiress Luna Back
To train myself for the role ahead, I hid the truth — that I was the only daughter of an Alpha King.
In my first year at the Dark Moon Pack, I fell for Leo, the Alpha's youngest son, the moment I laid eyes on him.
Three years of love. The cold, brutal man spoiled me rotten.
Yet he never once agreed to a marking ceremony with me.
I later found out why — his pack didn't think I was good enough.
After all, the Dark Moon Pack was the most powerful in the Northern Territories, and in their eyes, I was just a nameless rogue from some lesser pack.
With the whispers about the gap between our ranks growing louder, I decided to tell him the truth about my bloodline.
But then Leo started disappearing. Day after day.
After his ninety-ninth night away, I saw a photo on his childhood sweetheart's Ins Story — a Christmas tree decked out in sex toys.
The caption read: "Leo promised me — on the night of our marking ceremony, we're going to try every single one."
Before I could even process it, my phone buzzed again.
A DM. From the same woman.
"Do you have any idea how much Leo needs me? Every year on your birthday, every anniversary — he waits until you fall asleep, then comes to spend the night with me."
"A high-born wolf like me is the only one worthy of being his mate. You're nothing but the third wheel between an Alpha and his Luna."
I stared at the words on the screen, my thumb frozen in midair.
Should I be furious? Should I fall apart?
Nothing. I felt nothing. Just a hollow space where my heart used to be.
Fine. This tainted love, this man — I was done with all of it.
I closed my eyes and reached out through the mind-link to my father, the Alpha King. "Dad, I agree to come home and take the throne."
