In the third year of my engagement to Jack, he found himself a pureblooded, sharp-fanged huntress up in the Northern Territory. The night before my birthday, he brought her to me—just to call off the bond. He looked at me, cold and distant. “Bethel and I both live for the thrill of the night hunt. You're just a greenhouse wolf—soft and sheltered. You’ll never get what makes it all so addictive.” I asked, holding back the hurt, “Did it really have to be today?” He chuckled, “Did breaking a bond require a date on the calendar?” I nodded without arguing. But the next month, we ended up in the same Blood Moon Trial up north. What he didn’t know was—I tasted the rush of the hunt, the heat of blood, and got the champion long before he even came of age. Later, on his birthday, I sealed a life bond with another powerful wolf. He looked at me, red-eyed and hoarse, voice barely his, “Did it have to be today?” I smiled back, “Life bonds need good omens. The moon’s just right tonight.”
view moreNathan's security detail removed Jack's family from the ceremony with efficient discretion.I later discovered that the gathering had originally been restricted to allied pack leaders.Nathan had specifically requested his father, the Grand Alpha, to extend invitations to my family to publicly declare our relationship.He confessed that he wanted every wolf in the territories to recognize my importance to him and his pack.I asked teasingly, "Did you actually arrange for Bethel to attend?"He laughed softly, "Bethel claimed to be the future Luna of Jack's pack—how could we deny entry to another pack's potential Luna? The territory guards simply... followed protocol."I understood then that Nathan had allowed this drama to unfold deliberately.That night, I accessed Nathan's private pack memories through our strengthening bond and discovered something unexpected.There was only a single entry from our first meeting—he had captured my scent trail after I'd left the Inter-Pack Council.Hi
"What's happening here?" Jack rushed over and demanded in a hushed tone.His mother glared furiously. "What have you done! Creating such a disgraceful scene at Alpha Nathan's claiming ceremony. How will we ever maintain alliances with his territory!"The embarrassment was overwhelming.But Bethel showed no remorse.She had committed fully to her performance.Just as Jack had described, she was truly bold and uninhibited.Jack grabbed her arm. "Enough! Don't make a spectacle of yourself!"Bethel broke free of his grip and continued her dramatic display.For several uncomfortable minutes, the three of them created an unseemly disturbance.Jack's father, returning from speaking with other alphas, noticed the commotion and hurried to contain the situation.As the family struggled to remove Bethel from the ceremony, Nathan approached.He intercepted their retreat, one hand casually in his pocket, his dominance effortlessly overwhelming Jack's alpha presence.Only then did I fully appreciate
The night after the Blood Moon Trial, I accepted Nathan's formal courtship request.He announced that upon his return from the territory negotiations, he would host a Claiming Ceremony, inviting the leaders of all packs under his protection.My family was naturally included.On the night of the ceremony, I wore traditional alpha-mate regalia and entered the impressive great hall of Nathan's ancestral territory.The Nathan bloodline was indeed an ancient and powerful one.As the final howl song concluded, the formal ceremony began.Under the watchful eyes of every important wolf in the region, Nathan entered the hall.His imposing presence commanded immediate respect, his ceremonial alpha attire emphasizing his powerful build. His controlled yet potent pheromones radiated noble authority.He appeared completely transformed from the warrior I'd met during territory gatherings.After greeting the pack leaders, his silver eyes began searching through the crowd, finally locking onto mine.W
After the victory ceremony, I searched the crowd but couldn't locate Nathan.I activated our private mind-link."Where are you? Did you witness the challenge?"About ten minutes later, he responded."Forgive me, I'm completing territory negotiations with the Southern Packs. Does the victory bouquet please you?"I couldn't help but smile. "More than you know. Thank you.""Anna?"A familiar voice interrupted my thoughts.I turned to see Jack approaching slowly.He said, "I never imagined it was truly you in the arena. I saw a huntress but couldn't scent you through the hunting markers.""I'm sorry for my blindness. I had no idea your wolf was so powerful." His regret seemed genuine. "You learned to fight specifically to impress me, didn't you?""For you? My wolf fought for itself."Jack frowned, confused. "Then why hide your strength?""I didn't. My wolf emerged years ago.""That's impossible. Why wasn't I informed?"He stopped, realization dawning.Yes, he was battling in distant territ
After that day, Jack sent me numerous messages for the first time.Perhaps driven by guilt or attempting to defend Bethel, he contacted me more in those few days than in the past six months."Is the moonstone repaired? I've found an exceptional healer for you. Contact me when convenient.""I was careless about this matter, but don't blame Bethel. Her wolf acted instinctively.""Anna, are you there? I forgot to ask about your silver wound."I blocked all his communications and severed our pack link.Any remaining business between us would be settled in the Blood Moon Trial.A month later, I arrived at the challenge grounds as planned.While preparing, I spotted Bethel from across the ceremonial circle.She was wearing traditional beta hunting dress—provocatively cut red leather, her fur markings emphasized with ritual paint, her confident stance projecting dominance.The area was filled with Jack's pack supporters. They stood and howled enthusiastically: "Victory to Jack! Bethel, your w
I ignored the silver wound on my hand and searched through ancient pack lore for ways to repair the moonstone.In desperation, I sent a request through the territory mind-link."Does anyone know a pack healer who can restore a broken moonstone amulet? The reward will be substantial."Minutes later, I received a private response.It was Nathan again.He sent me coordinates: "Go to the Ancient Grove, I've already contacted the Stone Keeper for you."Without hesitation, my wolf guided me straight to the location.The Stone Keeper, an ancient beta with white fur, spent half a moon cycle restoring my moonstone to near perfection.When I asked about payment, the keeper said Nathan had already provided a rare alpha blood offering.I settled my wolf and realized Nathan had assisted me significantly without explanation. I immediately sent him a tribute offering through the pack messenger.He declined: "Your strength is payment enough."But my wolf remained unsettled by this debt."Thank you so
What does he mean it disappeared?That was the only thing my mother left me. I would track it through every territory if necessary.Bethel ignored the tension between Jack and me. She was standing to pour herself more ceremonial wine.But when she leaned forward, she revealed what hung around her neck.It was my mother's moonstone amulet!"Wait!"I called out to her and pointed at her neck. "That moonstone you're wearing is mine."Every wolf fell silent and turned to watch.Bethel looked at Jack, not panicked or concerned. "Jack, Anna claims this is hers, but how can she prove it?"Jack hesitated, clearly uncomfortable.He had never truly valued our bond, so he likely hadn't examined the token carefully.But I remembered every detail. "The stone has a crescent moon carving that glows blue under the full moon. The chain is woven silver with three knots symbolizing pack loyalty. There's a tiny chip on the bottom edge from when my mother fought the rogue alpha who attacked our territory."
While waiting for Jack's beta to deliver my moonstone, the pack regained their previous excitement.Jack was right, Bethel was indeed bold and fierce. She dominated the gathering with her animated stories and aggressive omega energy.Someone asked: "Bethel, I heard that your wolf transformation is incredibly powerful during the hunt? Tell us about it!"She became more animated at the question.While I was quietly sipping herbal wolf's tea, she had already boasted about her wolf form and fighting prowess, as if she had single-handedly won the Northern Territory Hunting Campaign."Do you know? My wolf is one of the strongest betas ever seen. Not only can I shift completely in seconds, but I can also hold my form longer than most alphas. During the hunting, I fought alongside the most elite hunters."Bethel looked at Jack with suggestive pheromones. He was also gazing at her with clear alpha attraction.She sighed with fake regret, "It's unfortunate that defeating the Red Moon pack's top
Before I had time to process Nathan's words, I was overwhelmed by the pack's collective whispers.Almost everyone in our territory was saying that I had been rejected by Jack.My father's alpha growl shook our den in the morning, and even my step-mother released mocking pheromones and called me a failed omega.I found it ironic. Somehow, the omega who was betrayed became the one who should feel shame.Later, many wolves began to send me private thoughts."I heard that Jack found a new Luna? Hahahaha, I really don't know how to comfort a rejected omega.""You haven't wasted the past few years. At least you've learned how to serve the pack alphas, right, Anna?""In fact, alphas are just stubborn. If you display proper omega submission, maybe he will reconsider you as a secondary mate. If that doesn't work, you can release distress pheromones or threaten to challenge the moon-run."I blocked them all from my mind-link, one by one.Now I just want to recover my mother's moonstone.I put th
When Jack came to see me, I hadn't seen him for almost half a year.He served as a hunter in the Northern Territory Hunting Campaign for three years, but he didn't send any howl messages when he returned to his pack.A few days ago, I received a moon crystal sent from my old pack.When I activated it with my omega energy, the first thing I heard was a burst of laughter."Hahaha, Jack, you are really something. Not only did you earn the top-level hunting badge from the Northern Wastes, but you also claimed our most hottest huntress from the pack! Bethel, tell me, how does Jack's wolf form treat you during the full moon?"A seductive omega voice replied: "Need I say? Of course, his alpha dominance is unmatched!"A howl of approval followed, so loud it nearly pierced my sensitive wolf ears.I turned down the volume of the crystal and continued listening."Jack, what are you going to do with your mate-bonded omega, Anna? I heard that you've been moon-promised for three years. Aren't your p...
