*Selena*"Why would I marry your daughter?" I heard a deep, sexy voice emanating from my father's office."If you meet her, you will like her. She is pretty and has been training to be a good and perfect Luna. She would be a perfect wife and mate. She is a very calm and obedient girl," my father's voice pleaded, and I couldn't help but wince at his words.Which daughter was he talking about? My younger sister, Anne, was only fifteen – he couldn't possibly be considering marrying her off already, right? The acceptable minimum age for werewolf marriages was sixteen. So, it dawned on me that they must be talking about me, as I had turned eighteen just last month."Still, Alpha Albert, I don't buy your words. Why would I marry a wolfless girl just to make this filthy alliance with your pack?" The same deep, husky voice responded with arrogance.Alliance?!Curiosity gnawed at me as I tried to decipher the situation. Who was this man who seemed so dismissive of my father's offer, yet held su
*Selena*He took me on a romantic candlelight dinner date. He had the entire restaurant exclusively booked for us. He gently held my hand, his lips pressing softly against the back of my palm, sending shivers down my spine. My body ignited with a new, electrifying sensation, leaving me breathless and longing for more. With a courteous gesture, he guided me to our table and pulled out a chair, displaying chivalry and grace. We sat in silence as the waiters served our meal."Why do you want to marry me?" I asked timidly, observing him eat his meal with an effortless grace as if doing a favor on food. "Because you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen," he replied, his tone cool and matter-of-fact as if discussing such matters was a mundane routine for him.I nodded subtly."Umm... What about your wolf? Will he accept me?" I shot another question."Lyon has already accepted you. You don't need to worry," he assured me, his focus still on his meal, as though the subject didn't wa
*Selena***One year later.**"Congratulations, Luna! You're pregnant!" The doctor's words kept ringing in my mind, filling me with joy as I made my way to my mate, the Alpha King's office, to tell him the good news.After many tries, I was finally going to have my Alpha's pup. Zander and I had wanted a baby for so long since we had mated. But every time I got pregnant, it ended sadly with heartbreaking miscarriages, losing my precious pups.This time, when I realized I had missed my periods, I decided to keep it to myself. I didn't want Zander to go through the pain and disappointment of another loss.I kept my pregnancy hidden from everyone, waiting for the right time. It wasn't until three months had passed that I went for a check-up, hoping for good news. When the doctor confirmed that the baby was growing healthy and strong, tears of happiness flowed from my eyes. I couldn't contain my joy, rushing to share this incredible news with my mate.I was going to knock on the door, but my
*Selena*A grand conference had descended upon the Moonglow pack, nestled in the heart of the North. Known far and wide as the largest and most prestigious pack, it stood under the rule of none other than the Alpha King himself, Zander Blake. Alphas from every corner of the world converged upon this sacred ground, drawn by the significance of the gathering. And at the helm of it all, leading the congregation, was the formidable figure of Alpha King Zander Blake.I wiped away my tears, summoning the strength to compose myself. Taking a deep breath, I hurried towards the conference hall. The pain of betrayal made it challenging to drag my weary body forward. Tears persisted, blurring my vision and momentarily blinding me. Nonetheless, I fought against them, pushing them back."Luna Queen, I'm sorry, but you can't enter. The conference has already begun, and I've been instructed not to let anyone in," the guard pleaded, attempting to prevent me from entering. However, as the Luna Queen,
*Selena* **Three years later** "Mom, look at this game! I really want it," Austin exclaimed, excitement radiating from his young face as he proudly displayed the coveted game. However, my heart sank as I glanced at the price tag. We were already struggling to make ends meet, and splurging on such luxuries was far beyond our means. "Oh, sweetheart, this game seems more suitable for older children. Let's find something else that's perfect for your age," I quickly improvised, attempting to shield him from the harsh reality of our financial limitations. Deep down, guilt gnawed at my conscience. As a mother, I felt like I had failed in providing for my son. I worked multiple part-time jobs, often barely earning enough to cover our basic necessities, let alone indulgences. The burden of my shortcomings weighed heavily upon me, especially considering Austin's status as a young prince, blessed with alpha blood. It pained me that he had to endure a life of poverty due to my inadequacies.
*Selena*Everything was still fresh in my memory, haunting me even as I attempted to forget. From the day I married until the moment I escaped my cruel husband, the memories were etched into my mind like deep scars. Despite my efforts to move on, painful recollections threatened to consume me. But above all, I had a greater purpose – to ensure my son, Austin, did not suffer due to the burning fire of revenge within me. As much as I longed for retribution against my ex-mate, Alpha King Zander Blake, I refused to put Austin's well-being at risk.But the truth was, taking down the Alpha King was no easy task. It required a foolproof plan and abundant resources to challenge the mightiest, most merciless, and seemingly invincible ruler. The rumors of his heartlessness were undoubtedly true, and I feared he wouldn't even hesitate to kill his own son if it served his pride and ambitions.I struggled to calm the tumultuous emotions swirling within me, feeling like a storm was about to engulf m
*Selena*My heart pounded loudly in my chest throughout the entire taxi ride, and as soon as we pulled up in front of the pack house, panic gripped me. The thought of seeing that devil again sent shivers down my spine. I never thought I had to face my ex-mate ever again. Stepping out of the taxi, I cautiously observed my surroundings. Everything looked the same, as if time had stood still since the day I left.Without wasting any time, I headed straight to the bank to inquire about my loan."Hello! How may I assist you?" a lady at the customer assistance desk greeted me with a humble smile."Umm... Hello! I have some queries," I said hesitantly."Yes, please tell me. I will try my best to help you," the lady replied softly."I want to know the status of my education loan. I thought it was paid off, but lately, I learned that some amount is still pending," I inquired, my voice revealing my vulnerability."Can I know your name and account details, please?" the lady asked politely.I hes
*Selena*I saw a woman with an angry expression striding toward us. She wore a knee-length black skirt and a suit jacket, and she seemed unfamiliar to me. Her presence exuded authority, and it was evident that she held a position of power."Please, get up. Please!" I gently held the shoulders of the omegas, pleading with them. "Thank you so much for your love, but I am not your Luna anymore," I smiled meekly, touched by their loyalty."Let's get back to work before we get into trouble. The matron is coming," I informed them, keeping a watchful eye on the approaching figure."What's going on here, you lazy asses? Listen to me carefully. If dinner is not ready on time, you will all face the consequences," the lady threatened, her tone stern and imposing."We are sorry. We are returning to work quickly," I replied on behalf of the omegas, urging them to follow me back to their tasks."You!" The woman pointed at me, summoning my attention."Me?!" I questioned, gesturing to myself with a c
