"Why should I ask her permission when I am the Luna here?! You all show no respect and freely talk about your mistress behind her back. If I don't punish you today, you will only get bolder."
"Luna, you come from Eastwood—the enemy of the Northwind Pack. Your pack has killed several members of our family. Even though you married our Alpha and became Luna, it doesn't mean we have to bow down to you! Even if Alpha Lyord accepted you for the sake of peace, we will never accept you as Luna!" The servant revealed her hatred on her face, just like the other servants. They grew increasingly open about their hatred and dislike for me. Was it because Rachel was pregnant, and they thought I would be ousted? No, as long as the peace alliance between Eastwood and Northwind Pack existed, I couldn't be removed, especially with a child of Lyord in my womb. Lyord wouldn't dare oust me or hurt me for fear of my father, King Lycan Casius. "Your pack has also killed several members of my family. Do you think you're the only ones capable of showing hatred?" I replied coldly. The servants frowned. "I will forgive your disrespect today. If you dare to continue to disrespect me, trust me, I will make Lyord throw you into slavery at the Northwind West Camp." "Sorry to interrupt, Luna, but you are summoned to the elder council meeting." A voice suddenly came from behind. I turned around and saw two tall figures, Yasen and Seth, Lyord's closest aides. Seth Calvert, Rachel's older brother, smirked cruelly and slyly at me, sending a lousy omen throughout my body. A feeling of anxiety enveloped my heart as if something was wrong. In the three years of my marriage, I had never been allowed to interfere in the Northwind pack's affairs and had never been summoned to face the pack elders as if my presence were merely an additional shadow in that pack. What could be the reason they summoned me? "Why did the pack elders call for me? Lyord is not here." I tried to stay calm. "Don't worry, Luna. The Alpha is also waiting for you in the council meeting hall and has ordered us to bring you." Seth's voice was heavy and cold, lacking any hospitality. I was stunned. "Bring me?" They didn't answer me. Without further ado, Yasen and Seth grabbed my arm roughly and mercilessly as if I were a prisoner committing a severe crime. The corner of my eye caught the excitement of the servants watching me being captured. "What are you trying to do?! Let me go." I struggled, trying to break free, but their strength was far more significant. They dragged me through the garden toward a large, old building at the end of the yard—the Pack elders' meeting room. "We've brought her," Seth announced in a dismissive tone as he threw me into the center of the hall. I winced in pain as I looked around at the five elder members of the pack in their fifties seated at the round table, staring at me with the most disdainful gazes. In the intricately carved high chair sat Lyord, resting his chin on his arm. "Lyord… what is the meaning of this? Why are you treating me like this?" I couldn't take my eyes off the man who sat in the high chair with the demeanor of a king. This time, Rachel was not by his side for her secretary duties. I recalled the servants' words about Rachel being taken to the pack hospital and the possibility of her being pregnant, which stirred a sour feeling in my heart and pierced my chest like a dagger. "Lyord, why aren't you saying anything?" I asked, trying to stand and not allow my dignity to be lowered. "Stay on your knees, you bitch!" Seth, who stood behind me, kicked the back of my knee and made me fall back down. Pain immediately shot through my knee joint, and I couldn't hold back my scream of agony. The man in front of me didn't change his expression; his face looked highly bored, as if he didn't see his wife being assaulted before his eyes. Disappointment and pain stabbed my heart as I looked at that cold man. "Seth, watch your tone. Nia is still our Luna," scolded one of the elders on the right with a flat tone. "What Luna? She'll be thrown out soon," Seth sneered, his voice dripping with mockery. Thrown out? My eyes widened as I looked at Lyord and the surrounding elders. "Are you really planning to remove me from my position as Luna? Do you want to sever the peace alliance with Eastwood?!" My voice rose, filled with confusion and disbelief. "If you don't consider me as Luna, do you also forget my father, the Lycan King of Eastwood?! You are the ones who begged for the peace alliance with Eastwood! Lyord, why aren't you saying anything?" An elderly elder, Quil Calvert, Rachel's grandfather, spoke mockingly. "Nia Schafer, your father is dead, and your uncle, John, the Lycan King of Eastwood, is currently declaring a severance of the peace alliance with us and attacking our mines in the West! He wants to steal our precious mines and has killed several pack members in the West! Killing you isn't enough to compensate for the lives of our pack members!"Nia pov The voice echoed through the hall like thunder, striking me, sending a cold chill that froze my entire body. My hands trembled, and tears began to gather in my eyes.My Father… murdered?The noise around me abruptly faded, as if time had stopped. I saw the image of a large man with warm brown eyes and a booming laugh, stroking my hair affectionately as I proudly showed him my school test scores."My daughter is the smartest in our pack! My Nia is the best. The daughter of the strongest Lycan King in the world, hahaha!"I still remember three years ago, the resigned look on my Dad's face, his hair seeming to turn white overnight, making him look ten years older because I had threatened to end my life if he didn’t let me marry Alpha Lyord."Since he's your destined mate, I will give you my blessing to marry him. You must protect yourself; don't let anyone harm you, not even Alpha Lyord. Remember, you are the daughter of the Lycan King—no one is allowed to hurt you."This can't
I stared blankly, overwhelmed by too much information for my mind to process, leaving me dizzy.“That’s enough, Seth. Let’s go,” Yasen pulled the irritated Seth out of my room and closed the door. They would likely stand guard outside, ensuring I couldn’t escape.I lay down, curling up and hugging my knees. My world had collapsed. It was as if the ground beneath me had shattered into pieces, dragging me into a dark, bottomless abyss. The air felt thin, suffocating, as though a heavy weight pressed down on my chest. I covered my mouth, stifling my sobs so they wouldn’t be heard outside. Tears poured down my cheeks, hot and salty, flowing endlessly.“Dad…” my voice caught, heavy with a deep longing.In this world, only my Dad had valued and loved me when everyone else scorned me for being a hybrid—the daughter of a Lycan King without a wolf or powerful magic like my mother’s. My Dad had never resented me, even though my birth caused my mother’s death.Now, he had left me in this world,

Chapter 02:Nia : "Nia Schafer! You'd better shut your mouth!" Lyord's voice turned icy, his expression dark as he stood up to raise his hand to slap me. "You… you slapped me?" I was stunned, tears streaming down my face. Even though we had been married for three years without love and only for the alliance between the two packs, Lyord had never been cruel or violent toward me despite me being the daughter of his enemy. I still remember our first meeting, which left an impression in my mind during a fierce argument for the first time in a century of hostility as the Eastwood and Northwind Packs met to end the feud and fighting that had killed many warriors from both sides. My father, King Lycan Cassius, would not give up his beloved daughter for a marriage alliance to the son of his enemy, Alpha Lyord. But I was the one who pushed my father to accept the alliance because I had fallen in love with Alpha Lyord. Lyord sat back down in his chair with an indifferent attitude. "Nia, y
