solo leveling shadows

In a world where loyalty and lineage dictate worth, Luna Poppy Hopkins faces an unimaginable betrayal. After losing her home, her title, and the love of her mate for failing to produce a male heir, she escapes into the shadows, determined to protect her unborn daughter. Five years of pain and humiliation haunt her, especially as her ex-mate, Alpha Seamus, keeps their bond alive through torment. Driven by a desperate thirst for revenge and the encouragement of her cunning ex-Gamma, Poppy steps into the fold of Luna's Law—a powerful directive that grants her the chance to confront Seamus and challenge him before the council for his transgressions. But the law demands more than mere justice; it calls for a duel, a fierce battle where Poppy must reclaim her title, respect, and inheritance rights against the very man who shattered her world. To tip the scales in her favor, Poppy trains rigorously under the watchful gaze of the alluring and enigmatic Lycan Prince Logan. As their bond deepens, so do the complexities of desire and loyalty, intertwining their fates in ways she never expected. Amidst a tumultuous landscape of action, deception, and emotions, Poppy discovers her true strength. As she rises from the ashes of her past, with fierce determination and a formidable ally by her side, she prepares to reclaim not only her rightful place but also her freedom. Can she conquer her past and enforce Luna's Law, or will the chains of betrayal bind her forever?

The scent of pine and damp earth clung to the air as the full moon created long shadows across the Ancient Clearing. Tonight, was supposed to be our marking ceremony, a sacred ritual binding Alpha Anderson and his chosen Luna before the eyes of the Frostmoon Pack. “My heart,” his gaze locked on Leah, who stood under the moonlight “has always belonged to another. My first love, the one whose spirit has been weakened by the venom of wolfsbane, is my Luna.” He drew Leah closer, his hand possessively circling her waist. Under the watchful gaze of the moon, he smiled. “Our traditions are clear,” he continued, “Only the woman who stands with me at this altar, witnessed by all, shall be my Luna. Though I had always thought that Irene was my mate which I mistakenly marked a time ago. But thanks to the goddess for making me see clearly before it was too late.” They exchanged vows beneath the trees, witnessed by the werewolves and the Moon Goddess. The silver crowns were placed, the ceremonial kiss sealed their bond. I stood hidden in the shadows of the surrounding forest. For twelve years, from the moment my wolf recognized his at eighteen until my thirtieth moon cycle, my love for Anderson had never changed. But his heart, it was clear, belonged to Leah. If that was the truth, then I would release him. He had never truly seen me, never truly cared. Yet, the act of my departure seemed to unravel him in ways I couldn’t understand.

She, the neglected daughter of her family, has spent her life in the shadows, overshadowed by her perfect sister. Her family’s indifference fuels her determination to escape, and a chance contract marriage becomes her way out. Neither family cares about their opinion; this marriage is simply a means to an end. In a dimly lit room, the disabled CEO glares at her, "What do you want from me, woman?" She crouches beside him, her gaze focused on his injured legs. "Do you know your legs can be healed?"
