Lyra Everwood grew up thinking she was unremarkable—until the moment her mate, Alpha Damien, discovered the mark on her wrist and branded her as cursed. The pack turned against her, rallying as their Alpha expelled her, rejecting her in order to "shield" them from her alleged ill fate. Left for dead in the Forbidden Lands, Lyra should have met her end. Instead, she was rescued by an ancient society that unveiled the truth: the mark that Damien feared was not a curse—it was the emblem of a lost bloodline, granting her powers surpassing any Luna or Alpha in existence. Years later, a conflict approaches, and Damien’s pack teeters on the edge of annihilation. The only person capable of rescuing them is the mate he rejected. However, Lyra has transformed; she is no longer the fragile girl he left behind—she has come back, more formidable than ever, and she’s not by herself. Will she rescue the mate who betrayed her? Or will she allow his world to crumble?

My name is Isabella Wright. In my fifth year of marriage to the Don of a powerful mafia family, I find out that the protection charm he gave me causes me headaches whenever I bring it with me. I take out the sachet I find in the charm and bring it to Cursley Hospital. The doctor inspects the sachet and tells me that it contains a type of slow-acting poison that doesn't just cause harm to the victim's body but also renders them infertile after a while. I cry and exclaim, "But that's impossible! My husband gave this to me! His name is Vincenzo Cursley. He's also the person who owns this hospital!" The doctor looks at me in confusion. "Miss, I think you need to visit the psychiatrist. I know Mr. Cursley and his wife. They're very close and intimate with each other. Also, Mrs. Cursley just gave birth to a baby boy not too long ago. They're both now in the VIP ward, looking at their baby." Then, the doctor shows me a photo on his phone. Vincenzo was wearing his usual black suit with the Cursley family emblem embroidered on it. He was holding a baby in his arms, and as for the woman standing next to him… I know her. Her name is Claudia Henderson. And Vincenzo has always referred to her as his adoptive sister.

Di bagian timur Kota New York ada dua ahli waris. Satu adalah maniak kecepatan yang mendominasi arena balap, satu lagi adalah aktuaris genius yang mengendalikan arus modal. Keduanya berasal dari keluarga terpandang dan sifat mereka berbeda jauh. Namun, mereka tumbuh bersama sejak kecil dan menjadi satu-satunya sahabat sejati. Mereka pernah berebut perhatian seorang gadis, juga berselisih karena taruhan di arena balap. Namun, saat berusia 15 tahun, mereka sama-sama menggantungkan sebuah lencana tembaga di dada. Itu adalah hasil latihan ukiran tangan dari Mia di kelas kerajinan, dengan sebuah huruf "M" yang tergores di bagian belakang. Saat itu, Mia duduk di bangku paling belakang kelas. Tak seorang pun tahu siapa identitas dia sebenarnya. Namun, kedua laki-laki itu mengenakan lencana tersebut selama 10 tahun penuh. Entah itu saat berdiri di podium juara F1 atau saat mengetukkan palu pada investasi triliunan di bursa, lencana tembaga murahan itu selalu menempel di dada mereka dan tak pernah tergantikan. Sampai akhirnya muncul Ella. Putri kesayangan dari keluarga konglomerat baru. Ella menyulam sebuah emblem kain berhiaskan benang emas dan memberikannya kepada mereka. Kain itu cuma benda biasa yang mirip dengan pernak-pernik murahan yang dijual di pasar loak. Namun, mereka malah sama-sama melepas lencana tembaga itu dan menggantinya dengan kain murahan yang diberikan Ella. Mia tidak mengatakan apa pun. Dia hanya diam-diam menyimpan foto lama mereka yang tercetak di sebuah koran usang. Malam itu juga, dia menelepon ayahnya yang jauh di Sisilia. Nada bicaranya sangat tenang saat berkata, "Papa, aku menerima pernikahan politik ini."

I have been bound to Ryan Hardin for nine years. He is pureblood, the Alpha of Silverfang Pack. And I… I was chosen as nothing more than a “temporary Luna,” a political pawn to steady the pack’s power. In those nine years, he betrayed me countless times. The first time, on my birthday, he announced that the celebration belonged to another she-wolf he had just met. The second time, I brewed medicine for his injuries, only to be accused by the Elders of bewitching the Alpha. He didn’t defend me—instead, he ordered me to be whipped in front of the entire pack. The third time, I was three months pregnant. He stood there, watching as his childhood sweetheart pushed me down the stone steps. I lost our pup that day. Nine years. Three thousand two hundred nights. I endured his indifference, his humiliation, his contempt. Last night, at the Silverfang Pack’s full-moon feast, he openly entwined his hand with a young Omega’s while I sat abandoned at the far end of the Alpha’s table. Every gaze cut into me—wolves whispering, mocking, savoring the spectacle. It was his 200th betrayal. When the feast ended, Ryan didn’t even look at me. His words were sharper than fangs: “Don’t forget, your Luna title is only temporary.” At dawn, he descended the Alpha’s staircase, his voice cold and commanding as if I were a servant: “Prepare the council’s tea. Now.” I met his gaze without flinching, my voice steady, stripped of all submission. “I’m sorry, Alpha. That is no longer my duty.” He seems to forget—we were never bound by a mark. Ours was an agreement, nothing more. And today marks the third-to-last day before that agreement ends. I gathered the Luna emblem, the wedding ring, and our only wedding photo—and burned them all. In three days, I’ll leave this pack. I will return to the secluded Herbal Academy, reclaim my research. And this time, when I walk away, I will never return.
