Ella Brown stood in front of her full-length mirror, a soft smile playing on her lips. The delicate lace of her gown hugged her curves perfectly, the fabric shimmering in the low light of her bedroom. Tomorrow was the day she had dreamed of her entire life. She would be turning eighteen at midnight, finally awakening her wolf and completing the bond with her fiancé, Alpha Kevin Taylor. The thought sent a shiver of excitement down her spine. By tomorrow night, she would be his mate, officially declared Luna of the Silver Moon Pack.

She traced the neckline of the gown with her fingers, imagining Kevin’s hands replacing hers, his lips grazing her skin as he whispered promises of forever. Her body tingled at the thought of him—strong, powerful, and hers.

“Just a few more hours,” she whispered, her cheeks flushing as fantasies of their future swirled in her mind.

Her daydream was interrupted by a muffled sound from the hallway—a low, sultry moan. Ella frowned, her brow furrowing as she strained to listen. She stepped toward the door, the sounds growing clearer. The unmistakable rhythm of two bodies intertwined, the breathless gasps, the wet, intimate noises—it hit her like a slap.

Her heart thundered in her chest. “It can’t be…”

Creeping closer to the door, she pressed her ear against it. Her stomach twisted painfully as she recognized the voice—Kevin’s deep, familiar groans of pleasure. And the woman... no. It couldn’t be her.

With trembling hands, Ella turned the doorknob quietly and slipped into the hallway. She followed the sounds, her steps slow, dread building in her chest. The noises were coming from the guest room—Her hands flew to her mouth as she crouched behind the door, peeking through the crack. Her pulse raced, her mind refusing to believe what her eyes were seeing.

Kevin stood with his back to her, shirtless, his muscular frame flexing as he held a woman tightly against him, his hands gripping her bare waist. His lips trailed down her neck, causing the woman to moan softly, her fingers tangled in his hair.

But it wasn’t just any woman. It was Sandra—her stepsister, the girl she had grown up with, the one she trusted.

Sandra, her body flushed and exposed, was wrapped around Kevin, her hips grinding against his in a way that made Ella feel sick.

“Kevin,” Sandra whispered breathlessly, arching her body against him. “You’re so close... so perfect.”

“I know, baby,” Kevin growled, his hands trailing lower, gripping her harder, as if he couldn’t get enough.

"We shouldn’t be doing this here," Sandra giggled softly, although her tone suggested anything but regret.

Kevin grinned, unbothered. "Ella won’t find out. She’s too busy planning her perfect little party for tomorrow."

Ella’s heart shattered in that moment. Every ounce of joy she’d felt only minutes ago was torn from her. “How could he? With Sandra?”

Tears welled up in her eyes, but anger flared hotter as their moans intensified, completely ignorant of her presence.

Ella’s heart shattered. A white-hot anger surged through her, mixed with the gut-wrenching betrayal. She felt her world tilt on its axis, and before she could stop herself, she pushed the door open with a loud creak.

“What the hell are you doing?!”

Her voice broke through the heated scene in the room, causing Kevin and Sandra to freeze mid-motion. Their bodies hurriedly separated, and Kevin turned around, his eyes widening in shock as he met Ella’s fiery gaze.

“Ella…?” Kevin’s voice faltered, but he quickly recovered, straightening his posture as though he wasn’t just caught cheating in the most humiliating way.

Ella’s chest heaved, her entire body trembling with the force of her emotions. “What... is this?” she demanded, her voice cracking. “With her?”

Sandra had the audacity to clutch a sheet to her chest, trying to cover herself as if shame had finally caught up to her. “Ella, it’s not what it looks like—”

Oh that popular line.

“Oh, spare me that!” Ella spat, her voice sharp enough to cut through the tension in the air. “What exactly is it then, Sandra? Because from where I stand, it looks like you were just about to f**k my fiancé.”

Sandra stepped forward, guilt plastered across her face like a mask she wore so well. “I didn’t mean for this to happen, Ella. It just... did. I’m so sorry.”

Ella scoffed, her hands balling into fists, her nails digging into her palms. “Sorry? You’re sorry? After everything I’ve done for you, you do this to me?”

Kevin’s low, amused chuckle interrupted the conversation, sending a wave of icy shock through Ella. She turned to him, her eyes narrowing as he crossed the room toward her, completely unbothered by the situation.

“It’s exactly what you think, Ella.” His voice was casual, as though he were discussing dinner plans. No remorse. “Sandra is my mate.”

Ella blinked, the words striking her like a punch to the gut. “W-What?”

He reached for Sandra, pulling her back into his arms. “I’ve found my Fated mate, Ella,” he said, his tone cold. “And it’s Sandra.”

For a moment, Ella felt as though the world had spun off its axis. Her vision blurred with tears, disbelief gripping her as she stared at the man she thought she knew. “You... you’re joking,” she whispered, her voice barely audible.”We never discussed anything about finding another mate, you already chose me to be your mate and Luna”

Kevin’s expression hardened, his mouth curving into a cruel smirk. “I’ve found my true mate, Ella. And it’s not you—it’s Sandra. She’s the one I’ll be announcing tomorrow as my Luna.”

The blood drained from Ella’s face, her knees weakening as she stared at him in disbelief. This was supposed to be the happiest night of her life, the night before her engagement. How could everything have gone so wrong?

“Kevin...” Her voice was barely a whisper. “You can’t be serious.”

He shrugged, nonchalant. “I am. I was going to tell you tomorrow, but I guess now’s as good a time as any.” His eyes softened as he turned to gaze at Sandra, who was still playing the part of the guilty temptress. “She’s my mate. The bond is undeniable.”

“Undeniable?” Ella laughed bitterly, her heart breaking with each breath. “And what about me? What was I? Just some placeholder until you found your ‘true mate’?”

Sandra, stepped toward her with false remorse, reaching out a hand. “Ella, I swear, I never wanted to hurt you—”

“Don’t touch me!” Ella snapped, jerking away from her. “You’ve already done enough.”

Kevin’s patience thinned as he rolled his shoulders back. “Ella, this is how things are. You’ll meet your true mate eventually, and when you do, you’ll understand.”

Ella’s tears spilled over, but her fury burned hotter. “Understand? You think I’ll ever understand this betrayal?” She shook her head in disbelief. “You were my everything, Kevin. Tomorrow was supposed to be “our” day. You promised me a future.”

“And now it’s hers,” Kevin said coldly, pulling Sandra into his arms once more. “Sandra will be my Luna, not you.”

For a moment, the room was silent, except for the sound of Ella’s heart shattering in her chest.

Her eyes, once filled with hope and love for the man before her, now burned with raw pain and fury. She took a step back, her body trembling from head to toe. “I hope you both rot in hell!”

With those words, she turned on her heel and ran. She didn’t look back as she fled out of the room, down the stairs, and out into the night. The cool air stung her cheeks, mixing with the hot tears that refused to stop falling.

She didn’t know where she was running to, only that she needed to get away. Away from Kevin, from Sandra, from the betrayal that threatened to swallow her whole.

    The dim lighting of the bar flickered, casting shadows over Alpha Derek Kingston of the Moonstone Pack as he downed another shot of whiskey. His tall, imposing frame was hunched over the bar, a scowl fixed on his face as he ignored the brunette who had been shamelessly trying to seduce him for the last half hour. Her hand slid up his arm, her voice dripping with desire, but Derek didn’t even glance her way. His mind was elsewhere, uninterested in the shallow advances of yet another desperate woman. “Get lost! ,” Derek said coldly, his voice a deep growl that sent shivers down her spine. He pushed her hand away roughly, eyes fixed on his drink. “Find someone else.” The woman pouted, but eventually took the hint, walking away with a huff. Derek exhaled sharply, running a hand through his dark, tousled hair. He wasn’t here for this—he was here to escape the relentless responsibilities of being Alpha, even if just for a few hours. The pressure weighed heavily on his broad shoulders, but

    The room seems to shrink as the intensity between Ella and Derek grew,the air thick with a primal need that neither of them could control. Derek's body pressed down on hers,his lips tracing a scorching part along her neck, making her grasp with each kiss,each bite. His hands roamed her skin exploring every curve,every inch of her trembling body as if he couldn't get enough of her. Ella arched her back,her chest brushing against his, her skin on fire from his touch. Her head spun, both from the alcohol and the overwhelming sensation of being so close to him, her true mate. She had never felt anything like this. Every fiber of her body aches for him,needed him,and the bond between them seemed to magnify every sensation,making her more sensitive, more desperate. “Derek…” she whispered,her voice shaky as her fingers dug into his back. Her nails scraped against his skin, pulling a growl from deep within his throat . He looked down at her, his eyes dark and wild from lust, his wolf barely

    Ella slowly opened her eyes, the soft morning light filtering through the curtains and bathing the room in a golden glow. Her body ached all over, every muscle tingling with the memory of last night’s passionate encounter. She turned her head to glance at the man beside her—Alpha Derek. She had heard so much about him from her ex-fiancé, Kevin, and had briefly met him once at a pack event. Amidst the haze of alcohol, she’d still recognized him. The surprise of finding him to be her mate left her feeling a mix of elation and disbelief. “Thank you, Moon Goddess,” she whispered to herself, a smile creeping across her lips as she recalled the intensity of their connection. It felt unreal, as if she were living in a dream where everything had shifted overnight. Just then, her phone rang, jolting her back to reality. She groaned as she answered, her stepmother’s frantic voice bursting through the speaker. “Ella! Where are you? You need to get to the engagement hall—now!” Ella’s heart

    Ella ran into her room, unable to control her tears, her heart racing. She couldn't escape the flood of notifications on her phone,each one more hurtful than the last, as she watched her name everywhere on social media. The screens glared back at her, filled with cruel comments branding her a "slut," openly disregarding her as she faced betrayal from those she once trusted. The media carried how she was openly disregarded by two Alphas. She dropped her phone on the bed, the notification sound echoing in the silence as she collapsed into the sheets, sobbing deeply. As the engagement party came to a close, the noise of laughter and celebration faded into a haunting memory. Suddenly, the door burst open, and in walked Sandra and her mother, Christine, fury etched across their faces. They marched toward Ella, ready to unleash their anger. “How can you sleep after disgracing our family?” Sandra shouted, her voice dripping with disdain as she yanked Ella's hair, forcing her to look up.

    Ella sat on the examination table in the clinic, her fingers nervously drumming against the cold metal. Her mind raced with thoughts, her heart beating faster than ever. She didn’t want to be here, yet she needed confirmation for what her body had been trying to tell her. The room felt suffocating as the doctor’s eyes flicked between the monitor and her face. The faint sound of the ultrasound machine beeped in the background. “Congratulations,” the doctor said, his voice cutting through her cloud of thoughts, “you’re having a baby.” Ella’s world seemed to stop at that moment. Her vision blurred as she stared at the screen, unable to process the words. Her fingers clenched the edge of the bed, her stomach twisting in knots. “A baby?” Her mind raced back to that night, the heat, the passion. Alpha Derek. “Oh no, this is not supposed to happen.” She whispered under her breath, her hand resting instinctively on her flat belly. Panic surged through her veins as flashes of that steamy nigh

    Five years later, a devastating plague swept across the werewolf world, decimating packs at an alarming rate. Pack doctors scrambled to find a cure, but despite their efforts, many werewolves succumbed to the mysterious illness. Panic grew as the packs suffered heavy losses, and desperation hung thick in the air. Yet, amidst the chaos,the northern territory stood out as an exception. Northern Wolf Hospital. Within the hospital’s sterile white walls, a doctor moved from bed to bed, tending to the afflicted wolves with a precision and calmness that seemed otherworldly. Dressed in full medical gear with a nose mask covering her face and a head wrap concealing her hair, only her sharp, focused eyes were visible. She moved with efficiency, her presence offering a beacon of hope in an otherwise bleak situation. "Nurse, hand me the next file," Doctor South instructed, her voice muffled by the mask. The nurse, holding a clipboard, approached hesitantly. “Doctor South, this is the tenth req

    Ella sat in her car at the parking lot outside her home, lost in thought as she stared at her reflection in the rearview mirror. Her wolf, Lila, stirred inside her. "Derek is still our mate," Lila whispered, her tone a mixture of hurt and hope. "He didn’t accept our rejection.” Ella closed her eyes, feeling the familiar stab of grief. Memories from the past came flooding back, and her voice trembled as she responded, "If Derek had accepted me as his Luna… our pup would still be alive." Her words were soaked with bitterness, the pain of her loss still fresh, even after all these years. Lila whimpered softly inside Ella's mind, sharing in the sorrow. "But he didn’t, Ella. Maybe there’s still a reason why we haven’t fully severed that bond.” Ella shook her head, refusing to listen to her wolf. "No, Lila. It's too late. There’s nothing left between us but ashes.” Back at the hospital, Alpha Derek paced the hallway, his mind in turmoil after his unexpected encounter with Ella. His assi

She turned to follow Felix inside, leaving Derek and his assistant stunned. They trailed after her, their expressions betraying their disbelief.Inside, Derek's gaze shifted around the room, landing on a portrait of Ella and Alpha Moore. In the image, Moore’s arms were wrapped possessively around Ella as they both smiled contentedly. An uncontrollable surge of jealousy bubbled up inside Derek as he watched Ella take a seat beside Moore, her hand resting on his lap while Moore draped an arm across her shoulders protectively.“I’m Alpha Moore,” Moore spoke first, his voice laced with subtle amusement. “I believe you’ve already met my Luna, Dr. South. Please, have a seat.”Derek, his hands buried in his pockets, stood defiantly as he glared at him, the jealousy bubbling beneath his cool facade. "I’m simply surprised to see that a She-

    The moon shone brightly casting an ethereal glow on Ella and Valen as they stood at the Manor's front yard admiring the night.Ella stood facing the moon and rubbing her now visible baby bump, a peaceful smile gracing her face. Valen stood behind her, his strong arms wrapped around her waist pulling her snugly against himself.Ella leaned into him, feeling the warmth of his embrace. Her bright, beautiful smile deepened as she chuckled softly."Can't believe you're scared of being a father," she teased, her voice laced with amusement.“It's not a crime to be scared,” Valen murmured against her ear, his breath warm and teasing. “I'm just speaking my mind. And besides I have never been a father before.”His lips brushed against her exposed neck, his voice turning huskier.Ella stretched her neck, giving him more room to nibble on them as she smirked. “You will definitely make a great father Valen.”A low growl rumbled from Valen’s chest as his fangs gently grazed the marked spot on her n

    Sebastian had managed to fight through the warriors on him, leaving Scottie injured and some others dead. One look at the war and she could tell they were evening out on the battlefield. There was only one thing to do now. Something inside Ella snapped. She turned, her murderous gaze locking onto Sebastian's. He growled, as if beckoning her. With a deafening roar, she transformed into Lila, but this time Lila moved with a blinding light enveloped around her massive form. She had tripled in size. She possessed the speed of an ancient vampire and the strength of a powerful warrior Alpha. Nothing like anyone had ever seen. Even Sebastian was momentarily taken aback at her transformation. Her eyes were of two colors—crimson and Silver. She launched herself at Sebastian. The ground shook in her wake. Her claws glowed and her wild Lila had the force of the Moon Goddess herself surging through her. Warriors gave way in fear as she approached. Sebastian

    The battle erupted in a blur of fangs, claws, silver, and wooden daggers. Sebastian tore through warriors, his monstrous strength overwhelming both vampires and werewolves. A vampire leaped at him but he crushed his skull in one swipe. A werewolf lunged at him but Sebastian ripped out his throat without hesitation. Valen and Derek fought side by side, cutting through anyone coming closer to the Manor, where Ella was tirelessly healing those being brought back with injuries. Despite their efforts, It was obvious to the two men that they were losing. But in war, no one says it’s over until the very end so they fought on. Ella looked up from where she was, the scene before her was pure terror, there was blood everywhere, the air was thick with death. Ella’s heart tightened as she saw warriors falling. She heard movement beside her, she held onto the dagger by her side, a part of Scottie’s war gear. It was Sandra. “Oh! You think healing can help you in this case?” Sand

    Maxwell strode through the gates of the manor with a practiced ease, despite his expression being unreadable, there was no way to mask the gait in his walk. He envisioned the death and destruction of all the mutts involved and when they were done with Valen and Derek, even Alpha Kevin and his own mutts would be annihilated. He trusted Sebastian not to maintain any alliance against the vampires. Immediately he stepped into the manor, Alpha Kael and Dorian approached him. “We need you,” Kael said, his voice firm. “We need the exact coordinates you found Ella. We’re planning a search for Sebastian’s whereabouts.” Maxwell kept his expression neutral but within him, he smiled. The fool suspects nothing, he thought. “Of course,” he said smoothly. He followed them deeper into the war room, already planning to lead them astray. His plan was simple—give them false coordinates, and send them chasing ghosts while preparations for the war raged on, unnoticed. But the moment

    Kael had followed Maxwell closely after his angry exit and deadline for finding Ella. No matter how great he was as a tracker, it wasn’t possible that he would find her as quickly as he said he would.Unless… He already knew where she was. He had followed Maxwell closely moving through the shadows like a ghost, Maxwell was fast but he was versed in stealth. Finally he had seen what he needed to see and now he had to speak to Derek. “I have something you’d need to hear,” Kael whispered urgently.He took Derek aside to explain what he had seen to him. “Okay. What is it?” Derek asked sharply, his mate was unconscious inside and there was an impending attack.According to Valen, Ella had been having nightmares about this war revealed to her by the Moon goddess and now it's finally coming to pass. He wasn’t thinking about being subtle or calm at this point. Kael inhaled. “After Maxwell left, I followed him and I think he knew where Ella was all along. I couldn't match his speed but h

    Maxwell’s grip tightened around Ella’s unconscious human form as he moved effortlessly through the forest. The night air smelt of pine but he couldn’t enjoy the smell because of the werewolf stench in his nose. He hated them, the annoying mutts were everywhere now, walking freely in their territory, their putrid odor made his stomach turn. If it were up to him, every single one of them would be dead by now, especially her. But he couldn’t risk it, he had to deliver her to Valen himself as his task and promise but soon enough he wouldn’t be taking orders from a mutt lover like Valen. He’d never thought he’d see the day when a vampire as powerful as Lord Valen would willingly align himself with werewolves but here he was. One thing was certain, betraying your own kind comes with a death wish no matter how powerful you were. Maxwell scoffed, wasn’t it an irony that Valen had foolishly aligned with the werewolves and now a similar alignment will be what would end him? As he was los

    “You're just what I need. Your blood holds the key to unlocking the secrets of immortality.”Sebastian smirked as he stared at the weakened and unconscious body of Valen's mate—Ella. He would destroy everything that Valen holds dear, starting from his mate. It's quite unfortunate he couldn't kill her yet, but he would use her to show to Valen what it meant to be hurt.He didn’t want to underestimate her powers. Though she was surrounded with silver, he still made sure she wasn't fed so she would be too weak to resist what he intended to do.Murmurs and whispers of why Valen hadn't arrived yet, despite his mate being captured, were already spreading amongst his allies and he knew he needed to act fast before their impatience ruins his plans.He watched as Ella slowly regained consciousness.“Finally you're awake” Sebastian chuckled dryly.Ella slowly opened her eyes, her vision blurry at first, she shook her head to regain some clarity. A sharp throbbing pain in her wrist had pulled he

    A heavy silence immediately filled the room after Alpha Kael's outburst.Derek's eyes narrowed slightly as looks at Maxwell, waiting for his reaction. He knew Kael had struck a nerve.Maxwell didn't disappoint, but one thing he didn't know was that Alpha Kael wasn't just an ordinary werewolf or a ‘mutt’ as he just called them.His fingers twitched, his sharp fangs peeking out as his eyes darkened. The anger in his gaze was unmistakable. Then, without warning, he charged at Kael, his speed as fast as lightening but dark.He aimed for Kael's throat, but Kael had seen so many battles to be caught off guard. Before Maxwell could strike, Kael twisted his body slightly and slammed his elbow into Maxwell’s side. The force sent the vampire stumbling back, his cloak fluttering as he steadied himself.Maxwell's eyes widened in shock. His jaw tightened. He was fast—faster than some vampires, faster than most creatures. But speed meant nothing if your enemy could predict your moves.Kael smirked

    Valen stomped into his office, slamming the door heavily behind him. Dorian was lucky enough not to be hit by the door as he followed behind Valen.“Useless!” Valen muttered, rubbing his hands against his hair and jaw.Dorian stood at a safe distance trembling slightly. He was doing it again, releasing that powerful aura that brings people to their knees.Clearly Valen was so mad, he has unleashed this aura just twice. This was only the second time Valen had ever let his emotions slip so much that his power surged uncontrollably—the first time was when Ella came into his life and now that she had disappeared.Dorian could see from his clenched fist that he was fighting so hard to control it. His crimson eyes were now a darker shade of red.“Did she just vanish into thin air? Are you trying to tell me there are no leads? No clues?” Valen asked, his voice filled with rage.Dorian stood speechless, he swallowed hard, his throat dry. He had no answer that wouldn't further enrage Valen. He
