They attacked as one, coordinating with the precision of trained killers. I managed to dodge the first two, landing a solid kick that sent one stumbling back. But there were too many, and despite my Luna strength, I was already emotionally and physically drained from the day's events.A set of claws
Sylvia’s POVLucas carried me to the car, gently tucking the blanket around me, and I curled up in the backseat. Lucas's car purred quietly as he drove us back to the pack house."Is it worth it?" Lucas asked softly as he drove us back to the pack house, his knuckles white on the steering wheel. "St
"I have every right," Lucas's voice carried a weight that made even Astrid step back. "When I find a Luna being betrayed by her own mate, left to die while he coddles his mistress-""She's not my mistress!" Raven snarled, still struggling futilely against Lucas's hold."No?" Lucas pressed harder, ma
Sylvia’s POV"Tell me the truth. Otherwise, you don't want to go to the king's dinner."When Raven spoke, the room fell silent. This was the first time I realized that silence could be so deafening. I stood there, still feeling the sting of some of the trauma, while Raven's eyes burned with doubt an

Astrid’s POVThe mirror reflected everything I'd worked so hard to achieve. My burgundy gown whispered wealth and power, its intricate beading catching the light like drops of blood. I'd chosen it carefully - not just for its beauty, but for what it represented. This wasn't just a dress; it was armo
"Say no more," I smiled warmly, though inwardly I savored another small victory. "I would be honored to help. Why don't you come by tomorrow and we can discuss your vision?""See how she takes care of the pack?" Martha's voice carried just loudly enough to be heard by those nearby. "A true Luna in a
(Sylvia's POV)The morning air was crisp as I stepped out of the prison, my hand clutching my phone like a lifeline. Tommy's recorded threats were safely stored, ready to expose Astrid's schemes."Soon you'll be the one in prison," Tommy's arrogant voice played from my phone as I reviewed the record
(Sylvia's POV)The next morning,"Luna," Gamma Oliver's voice was tight with urgency as he burst into my office. "We've traced the mysterious $500,000 transfer. It went to Tommy's prison account, though it was carefully disguised through several shell companies."I looked up from the stack of financi
(Sylvia's POV)"Well, Sylvia, Astrid already knows she was wrong." Raven defended Astrid."Knowing it was wrong? A light and airy "I'm sorry," and that's her knowing she was wrong? " I was enraged. The air was filled with a tense atmosphere. At this moment, Beta-Marcus hurried over, the snow under h
(Sylvia's POV)The winter morning was eerily peaceful as I walked through the snow-covered pack. Each step crunched beneath my feet, creating a rhythm that helped calm my racing thoughts."Luna Sylvia!" Gamma Oliver jogged up to me, his expression tense. "The auction house just confirmed - everythin
"You see the problem," I said grimly. "And she had the audacity to position herself as the rightful Luna, spending the funds that were meant for families, warriors, young pups. She did this while claiming she cared for the pack."Oliver's lips pressed into a thin, furious line. "Luna, on my honor, I
