I held the paper in my hands, my lips trembling as I read each word. No matter how hard I tried to convince myself that this was a dream and I would soon wake up to reality, the words before me on the test sheet didn’t disappear.
And neither did my mate’s prescence fade away. He was standing there, expressionless as usual as he waited for a reply from me.
What did he want me to say?
“She’s three months gone, and I’ve already had a meeting with the elders not too long ago. They’ll only accept Diana as my second Luna and the mother of my child if you agree with the terms and conditions of her living here as mine.”
I stared at him blankly, my jaw lowered to the floor. To think my mate couldn’t stoop down low any further, to think my best friend Diana would actually comfort me whenever Lucian hit me or abused me, but stab me right in the back by actually having an affair with my mate, to think he was actually trying to persuade me into agreeing to make Diana his Luna?
I knew right from the moment Lucian realized I was his mate, he had hated me onwards. We were best friends, and I was aware that he loved Diana, but when we ended up as mates, it was like I was the third wheel who had come into their relationship.
It wasn’t my fault that the moon goddess had intended for us to be fated together. I didn’t even love Lucian, I saw him as a friend.
But as time went, the mate pull grew stronger and I found myself falling Inlove with him. But he never for once reciprocated my feelings, only treating me as trash, hitting me, sometimes locking me up in a room without food for days when he got mad at the little things I did.
I was basically treated like a slave in my own home, in my own pack, and the respect I was supposed to earn as Luna dissipated into thin air. The Omegas treated Diana more respectably than they treat me.
I had ignored the fact that he suddenly wanted Diana living with us, even though I found it suspicious. I couldn’t bear to hate Diana. She was just so sweet, loveable, caring, and respects my relationship with Lucian despite the fact that they were lovers before.
But now, it was like the scales had fallen off my eyes and I could see. I could see how Diana how deceived me into believing she had good intentions when she came here. I was at the second floor of the mansion where guests stayed, but Diana got the top floor with the Alpha. I was so stupid to have brushed it off. I was stupid to have ever trusted Diana. I was foolish to have even fallen in love with Lucian when I knew he didn’t love me.
After we discovered we were mates, for the sake of the ritual, we did mate to complete the bonding, but he did not mark me.
A few times after that we mated, but for almost three years now, he hadn’t even touched me or glanced my way even when I wore skimpy, sultry clothes to get his attention.
And now, he had called me in this evening and flung some papers in my face- which happened to be Diana’s pregnancy reports.
My best friend had been fucking my mate behind my back for almost six months, maybe a year even, who knows when their affair began, and he wanted me to give my consent to the elders to let her be Luna so that she would bear his mark.
So that her child would take over as Alpha and I would be cast aside and forgotten?
I may have bore Lucian’s insults, contempt and burning hate towards me all these years, I may have tolerated shit from the Omegas and his Beta, and I may have been played stupid by Diana…
I slapped down the papers on the table and got up, tears brimming in my eyes.
…but I will never let him have that satisfaction of watching me break down and cry before him again like the pathetic Luna he thought I was. I will no longer be taken advantage of anymore.
“Fuck you Lucian..” with a shaky voice, I whispered, quickly wiping the edge of my eyes before the tears could roll down my cheeks.
I turn away to leave, and I roll my eyes when I realized he was closely behind me, and before I could run upstairs to my room, he grabbed me by the wrists and pushed me back against the wall so that my back roughly connected with it, sending pain shooting up my body.
I wince, and bite down on my lower lip as I met with his eyes which glared down furiously into mine, his cerulean blue eyes, icy and cold.
Yet, as I gulp, forcing myself not to waver and glance down in fear like usual, I couldn’t help the shivers running down my spine. I felt desire and anger all at once, and frustratingly desire was winning. I was mad at him, but the fucking mate bond just had to distract my feelings each time, and all I could think of was him between my legs as he gave me a really good fuck, but that wasn’t going to even happen, so I better push that thought at the back of my mind, trying to conceal it, suppressing my hussey of a wolf as she yearned to mate with his wolf.
I just hoped he couldn’t smell my arousal, but his cold eyes boring into mine said otherwise.
Sometimes I wondered if he even felt the mate bond, the mate pull… Did he really hate me that much that for a second he never felt anything for me?
“You will concede to my decision, Alana.”
“And if I don’t?” I snap back, finally loosing control of my emotions and growling back at him.
The cold night air cut through my skin as I stepped out of the manor, my heart pounding so loudly I thought it might burst from my chest. I hadn’t packed much—just enough to survive, just enough to get away. Sky had tried to stop me, his voice pleading, but my mind was made up. It had to be. I couldn’t live like this anymore, in the suffocating shadow of his family’s disdain, in the constant fear of what tomorrow might bring. I glanced back at the towering structure behind me, its grandeur now a symbol of everything I couldn’t have, everything that wasn’t meant for someone like me. No matter how much Sky said he cared, no matter how many times he promised things would change, the truth was simple: I would never fit in here. His family had made sure of that. Especially Selene. Her words echoed in my mind, the venom in her voice stinging as sharply as it had when she first spoke them. “You don’t belong.” And the worst part? She was right. I didn’t. I never had. I wrapped my arms a

The night was cold, the kind of crisp chill that clung to your skin and made everything feel sharper, more real. I could feel it sinking into my bones as I hurried down the hallway toward Hayley’s room. Something was wrong—no, I knew something had been wrong for a long time, but tonight it felt like a ticking bomb ready to go off. Hayley had been distant, almost invisible in her attempts to avoid me. I couldn’t blame her, not after the way my family had treated her, after the tension I’d created by not telling her the truth about Veronica. I’d been trying to find the right moment to talk to her, to fix everything, but it seemed like the more I tried, the further she slipped away. And now, I had a sinking feeling that she was about to run. The thought made my chest tighten with panic. I couldn’t let her leave. Not like this. Not without talking things through. When I reached her door, I paused, my hand hovering over the handle. Part of me wanted to burst in and stop her from whateve
The moonlight streamed through the window, casting long shadows across the floor. I stared out at the dark woods, the towering trees swaying slightly in the breeze. The night was still, too quiet for my liking, but it was also my only chance. My heart raced in my chest, each beat a reminder of the urgency I felt deep within. I couldn’t stay here anymore. I had to get out.I hadn’t seen Sky since the confrontation in the hallway. Every time he approached me, I found a way to slip away. It had become a game of avoidance, but now it was more than that—it was survival. His family was suffocating me. His mother’s cold, judgmental stares, and Selene’s sharp words, like daggers every time they spoke. It was clear that they didn’t want me here, and the longer I stayed, the more vulnerable I felt. Sitting on the edge of the bed, I fidgeted with the edge of the worn blanket, my mind spinning with thoughts of how to escape this suffocating prison disguised as a mansion. I had nowhere to go, no
I leaned against the cold marble countertop in the kitchen, staring at the dark liquid swirling in my mug. The rich aroma of coffee filled the air, but I couldn’t bring myself to take a sip. The house was too quiet, except for the occasional ticking of the antique clock in the hallway, reminding me of how much time had passed since I’d been avoiding this conversation. I knew what was coming. Hell, I’d known for days now that my family wouldn’t let it go. My engagement to Veronica was supposed to be the glue that kept everything together—the perfect arrangement that would keep the bloodlines pure, keep the legacy intact, and keep my mother happy. But my heart had gone in a completely different direction. Footsteps echoed down the hall, the kind that could only belong to my mother. Her heels clicked sharply on the polished wood floors, each step a reminder of her unwavering authority in this house. I straightened, setting my coffee mug down just as she and Selene entered the room. M
The mansion, once a place of uncertain promise, had slowly begun to feel like a cage. Each day, I fought to find a sense of belonging within its grand but cold walls, but my interactions with the other residents and the underlying tensions made it feel more like a gilded prison. I had tried to stay out of everyone’s way, focusing on the small joys of daily life, but the strain was palpable.That evening, I decided to take a walk in the garden. It had become my sanctuary, a place where I could find some semblance of peace amidst the chaos of my new life. The garden was expansive, with manicured hedges and flower beds arranged in elaborate patterns. As I strolled along the path, the scent of blooming roses and freshly cut grass filled the air, providing a temporary reprieve from the stress that had been mounting.The sun was beginning to set, casting a warm golden glow over the landscape. I paused near a stone bench, taking in the tranquility of the moment. The rustling leaves and chirp
