In honor of my mother’s last wish, I concealed my true identity and married Alpha Xavier, the son of my father’s closest friend. Ours wasn’t a storybook romance at first, but through our union, I grew to love him deeply. On the night of our wedding, as we pledged ourselves to each other, war erupted. My new husband—the fierce and honorable Alpha—was called to the front lines, leaving me behind with one promise: to wait. He swore that when he returned, he’d spend every day of his life by my side, that I was his only love. While he fought, I dedicated myself to the pack, stepping into the role of Luna with every ounce of strength and loyalty I had. I protected them, nurtured them, and in time, I earned their love and respect. I became their Luna in heart and in spirit. A year later, Xavier returned, victorious. But he didn’t come back alone. By his side was Bianca, a warrior celebrated across the realm, a woman with scars that tell stories of triumph on the battlefield. Xavier declared her his true mate, already bound to her through the sacred mark. She stood as my equal, sharing the title of Luna. But Bianca is no quiet partner. She sees herself as more than a “housewife” and makes it clear she’d rather be on the battlefield than tied to pack life. Xavier, reveling in his victory, has even traded his war victories with the Alpha King for what he calls the “Luna Duet,” a shared rule with me and Bianca. But I won’t be cast aside or overshadowed. If he wants two Lunas, may the best Luna win.
View MoreKATRINA I had barely set foot inside my room when I suddenly heard footsteps thundering down the hall. I didn't need anyone to tell me who it was… I already knew it was Xavier coming. The door swung open violently, and he stormed in, his expression spoke of hatred and anger. And for the first time in days, I didn't look scared at how furious he looked."You went to see Alpha King, didn’t you?” He growled, pointing his first finger at me. "You begged him to cancel Bianca’s Luna ceremony, didn’t you?" I remained silent, watching him. There was an odd satisfaction I felt seeing him grow frustrated with my silence, it was a reaction he has never seen from me before. Perhaps he’s grown too used to my fear, my apologies, my shame. But I’ve none of those left to give him. Not now.“Are you deaf?” he barked. “You’re not a mindless animal, Katrina. I'm talking to a human being. So I need you to answer my question. Did you beg the Alpha King to cancel Bianca's Luna ceremony with me?”I looked
KATRINA Xavier’s mother lay on her chaise, her hand pressed dramatically to her forehead, as if my action had somehow wounded her in the deepest possible way.“How dare you disobey and hurt your Alpha for an omega!” She yelled, casting an awful glance my way before letting out a deep, dramatic sigh and slumping back. Her eyes were halfway closed before her legs buckled slightly. “Oh! The nerve of this… this girl!” She cursed.“Get Pack Doctor Ashton over here!” Xavier ordered sharply, barely glancing at me as he summoned the only physician in the pack who would bend to Blackwood’s authority and reputation. Doctor Ashton was known to serve only those of highest status and reputation. Anyone order than the royals, he had no business with them. Xavier calling for his attention was, however, as much about his influence as it was about his mother’s health.But I stepped in calmly. My voice was low, almost soft. “Mother, it would be best if you got some rest.” I looked directly at her, fe
KATRINA I stood in the middle of the room, staring at Xavier as he lounged back on his chair. Bianca sat beside him, her hands slightly on his, their fingers interlocked in a way that made my stomach churn, reminding me that I was no longer a part of Xavier’s life–at least, not in the way I had once been.“I’m not interested in being a surrogate for the two of you,” I said firmly. The thought of carrying their child, of being reduced to some kind of vessel, sickened me. “This mated bond, this so-called marriage, I want it over. I want out.”Xavier’s lips curled into a shameless grin, the kind that made me want to slap it off his face. More like he was speaking to a child who didn’t understand the rules. He had always been arrogant, but now, it was as if he didn’t even see me anymore. He saw me not as an equal, not even as a former lover, but as an obstacle to control. Something to use.I don’t know if I should cry, or just laugh it off his face. He spoke as if I should be grateful fo
KATRINATHE walls of the packhouse had never felt cold like today. I stood at the entrance, my fingers trembled as I gripped the doorframe, and my heart sank even further with every laugh that echoed out from the inside. His laugh. Their laugh.I swallowed hard.It wasn’t just about the heaviness in my chest, it was more of the obvious change that has swept through my home in a blink of an eye. My home, where I had run this pack for a year in Xavier’s absence felt foreign, as though I no longer belonged.Steeling myself, I pushed the door open, stepping into the living room. There they were–Xavier, sitting comfortably, so comfortably beside his mother, with his hand wrapped around hers. Bianca’s. The woman who shouldn’t be here. The woman who shouldn’t be his.Xavier’s mother was the first to notice me, then a smile played across her face. The same smile that used to comfort me, but this time, it felt empty. “Oh, Katrina,” she greeted, her voice too sweet. “We were just talking about
KATRINAI felt my wolf stir within me, “Katrina,” the soft murmur of her voice reached me before I could even catch my breath. “Xavier's close. I can feel his wolf getting closer to us. They’re back.”I closed my eyes, letting a faint smile play on my lips as I sniffed in the cold air of the morning. I was relieved and scared at the same time. Not the feeling of fear, but an uneasy feeling that kept building in my chest.It's been twelve long months since the night of our wedding. The night he held me in his arms, promising a lifetime together, only to leave shortly after for the war that tore us apart. It did break my heart, but what could I do? What could I say?I stood there, watching the only man who mattered a lot to me leave. Now, after a year of waiting and wondering if he'd return, he was finally coming home. “Do you think…” I paused, not even knowing how to voice it. “Do you think anything will be the same?” I asked my wolf, but her sudden silence felt more awkward than the u
