Why Did Noah Call Elle Shelly

I was Alpha Damon’s Head Beta. For six years, I had been his partner in bed and his second-in-command. When he announced our mating ceremony, the entire pack celebrated. My dream was finally within reach. But then, outside his private trophy room, I heard him bragging about his “Luna trials.” And just like that, I learned the truth. I wasn’t his one and only. I was one of thirty candidates. He’d spent a month with each of us, grading our bodies, our submission, our performance. My score? Lower than an Omega’s. Lower than Lydia’s. “Fucking Lydia was incredible,” he boasted. “I could barely pull myself away. Then I look at Elysia—so stiff, so in control—and I’m just… bored.” Ice flooded my veins. My body went numb. Six years of devotion. Countless nights tangled in his sheets. It all meant less than a cheap thrill and a wolf who knew how to kneel. My heartbreak hardened into ice. I sent a message to an Alpha who had wanted me long ago. “Adrian, you once said your offer to mate was a standing one. Does it still stand? Damon and I are over now.”

Note: This is a single-volume epic featuring four interconnected stories that converge into one final, inevitable conclusion. Ersa Soltharic thought she could stay hidden and live a quiet life, but fate had other plans. Chosen as a candidate for the Second Calling, she must compete against three other women to become the Alpha’s Luna. The trials test her strength, mind, and heart, but the greatest shock comes when she discovers that the Alpha she’s fighting for is actually her destined mate. Worse, the Alpha is a natural predator whose practiced charm blinded Ersa, rendering his true nature entirely incomprehensible to her.

My mate Derek, Alpha of the SilverCrest Pack, secretly marked me two years ago. But he still hasn't held our mating ceremony to publicly announce my position. I've been working as his "assistant," helping him manage pack affairs all this time. Every time Derek cheats with his childhood sweetheart, Vivian, he promises to finally hold our mating ceremony. Two years. Ten promised ceremonies. Ten broken promises. The first time, he said Vivian's dog had died. "I can't hold a celebration while she's grieving," he told me, his eyes not quite meeting mine. "It wouldn't be right." The second time, Vivian had a stomach ache. He left the ceremony venue minutes before it was supposed to start, rushing off to cook soup for his precious childhood friend. After that, each scheduled mating ceremony fell through because his childhood sweetheart always had some kind of emergency. I've cried. I've screamed. I've begged. Derek always gives me the same answer: "Viv and I are just friends. You're my true mate. Taking care of pack members is your responsibility too. Don't be so jealous." After the tenth canceled ceremony, I finally gave up. I slid the mate bond dissolution papers across his desk. "The Alpha Council has approved our request to break the mate bond," I said, my voice steadier than I expected. "You and I are no longer connected." That’s when the powerful Alpha went crazy...

Pada hari yang telah dijanjikan untuk mencoba gaun pengantin bersama pemimpin mafia yang telah berpacaran denganku selama tujuh tahun, Raul Ghazali, aku membawa laporan pemeriksaan kehamilan dengan perasaan bahagia dan bergegas menuju butik pengantin. Namun, aku tanpa sengaja mendengar percakapannya dengan orang kepercayaannya. "Kemarin aku mendaftarkan pernikahan dengan Joanne hanyalah langkah darurat. Kakakku tewas dalam baku tembak antar-geng, dan dia mengandung satu-satunya anak dari Keluarga Ghazali. Kalau aku nggak memberinya status, dia dan anak itu nggak akan bisa bertahan hidup di Keluarga Ghazali." "Semua orang akan menindas mereka." Dia menjepit cerutu di antara jemarinya, suaranya dingin dan keras, tetapi terselip sedikit ketidakberdayaan. "Selain status, aku nggak bisa kasih Rivela apa pun. Tapi yang lain, aku bisa memberikan semuanya, cintaku, uangku. Hal ini sama sekali nggak boleh ketahuan sama dia." Aku menggenggam erat kertas hasil pemeriksaan kehamilan itu, hatiku seketika mati rasa. Aku meminta sahabatku membantuku mendaftarkan identitas baru, memastikan Raul tidak akan pernah bisa menemukanku lagi, lalu menghilang dari dunianya. Karena dia tak mampu memberiku dan anakku sebuah keluarga yang utuh, maka hubungan yang tercampur antara tanggung jawab dan kebohongan ini lebih baik diputuskan sampai di sini.

For our college graduation trip, I spent a whole week glued to various travel apps, finally snagging a half-price couples' train package. I was just about to share the good news with my boyfriend and call it a night when his message came through. "Anna's going through a breakup. She needs to get away and clear her head. We're gonna use those tickets." "See if you can grab yourself another single ticket. It's not that much anyway - like five or six hundred bucks." For a moment, I was speechless. Before he received the scholarship my dad’s pack had specifically established for him, five or six hundred dollars used to be his entire monthly allowance. After a moment of silence, I picked up my phone: “Dad, prepare a private jet for me. I want to take a trip alone before graduation.”

“I've sacrificed so much for our sake, to get this duplicitous act from my husband and my foster sister!” My heart clenched at the sight of their naked bodies.  I lacked words to say, My heart felt crushed under the weight of their sinful act!

I managed to say, without minding the tension coming from his voice.
