**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 hand halted in the air when I heard Avery's voice.
"Why don't you leave her? She doesn't deserve to be your mate. She's weak and wolf-less.”
My smile disappeared as my heart sank with uncertainty.
"Not now, Avery. I have to go to the conference. We'll talk about it later," Zander's calm voice replied, leaving me shocked.
Mate.
Weak.
Wolf-less.
Then it dawned on me : they were talking about me!
"Why don’t you kill her like you killed her family and pack?" Avery's bored voice came from behind the wide, thick doors.
I gasped and covered my mouth, trying to hold back tears. My eyes stung and everything became blurry.
"Stop! Don't say anything else. I'm late for the conference," Zander growled, sounding frustrated but not denying it.
It couldn't be true.
Goddess, please tell me that it couldn't be true! My mate, responsible for killing my family?! Now, he's plotting my murder with his girlfriend!
My suspicions were confirmed. At first, I only believed Avery was in love with Zander. But now, it's clear Zander also loved her, and they betrayed me behind my back.
The realization hit me like a tidal wave, crashing against the fragile shores of my heart.
I didn't have time to wipe my tears when I heard footsteps nearing the door. I quickly escaped before they sensed me.
Swiftly, I slid away from the door and rushed to my room. Closing the door behind me, I frantically searched for my phone and dialed my father's number.
Each ring felt like an eternity as I impatiently waited for my father to answer, but there was no response. The silence on the other end of the line gnawed at my soul, intensifying the fear gripping my heart.
In hopes of hearing some news, I called my uncle, Jack. He picked up after three rings.
"Uncle, I've been trying to reach Mom and Dad, but no one's picking up the phone," I blurted out, my worry rushing out in a hurry.
"Selena, my dear, it's over. Everything is finished! The pack... our pack... it's gone," Uncle Jack's voice cracked, carrying the same pain I felt.
"Who... who could do that?" I asked, hoping what I heard at Zander’s office was wrong.
"It was him, Selena. It was your mate," Uncle Jack's voice shook with sadness and resentment.
No! No! That's not true!
The ground beneath my feet seemed to crumble away, leaving me suspended in a world of disbelief.
"The Alpha King, Zander Blake. He murdered your family... our pack," Uncle's voice lowered to a somber tone, carrying the weight of an unbearable truth.
I felt like such a fool. Even after hearing it myself, I needed confirmation from my uncle. My already shattered heart splintered into countless pieces, each fragment a testament to the immense loss I had suffered.
My mate hated me so much that he even demolished my whole pack.
I clasped a hand over my mouth, trying to stifle the sobs that threatened to consume me. Tears streamed down my face, mixing with the remnants of shattered dreams as I mourned the devastating loss of my beloved family and the pack members who had once been my kin.
"Uncle," I hesitated, my voice shaking as I wiped my tears with the back of my hand, "I overheard Zander and his girlfriend, Avery, planning to murder me. They've been having an affair and want to get rid of me."
"Oh, Goddess! I always knew he was cruel, but to be so heartless..." Uncle's words trailed off, overwhelmed by deep sorrow for my situation. "Selena, my dear, I beg you to leave immediately and come to me. We'll escape to the South, leaving this treacherous land behind. There, we can start a new life, far away from their reach, where no one will ever find us."
"No, uncle, I can't just run and hide from him," I whispered. "He's my mate, the Alpha King. His power has no limits. I'm sure he'll find me, no matter where I go. And... I... I'm pregnant, carrying his pup," I confessed, glancing anxiously around as if the walls themselves held secrets that could expose my vulnerability.
"What?! You're pregnant?!" My uncle's voice surged with sudden excitement, echoing through the receiver.
I bit my trembling lips and nodded, even though he couldn't see me.
"He... he hates you and will kill your child too," my uncle's voice trembled with concern and desperation. "I'm coming to take you away from him," he advised, and he was right.
If Zander didn’t love me, he wouldn't love our unborn child. It was a truth I couldn't deny, a painful acceptance that stung my heart.
"Uncle, wait for me outside the borders of this pack. I'll join you in a few hours," I replied, wiping my wet cheeks with determined yet shaking hands as I ended the call.

My bravado faltered for a moment, and I silently cursed the heavens. Goddess, save me. His alpha aura was suffocating, intense, and powerful enough to crush the small shred of resolve I was clinging to.I instinctively averted my gaze, stepping back in a desperate attempt to escape his presence and catch a breath. But it was impossible. The room felt smaller, the air thick with his intoxicating scent—the same scent that still had the unnerving ability to send my heart spiraling into chaos.“You signed the contract,” his sharp voice cut through the tension like a blade, snapping me out of the haze he always seemed to create.I blinked, gathering my wits. “I signed the contract this morning, yes. But I can still refuse to work, penalty be damned!” I shot back defiantly. Honestly, I didn’t care about the

The clock bell rang, drawing my attention to the time.It was the moment the security guards were about to switch shifts, and that was my opening. With my laptop in hand, I moved through the hallways quietly, keeping an eye on the clock. I had a mere fifteen-minute window, but for someone with my skills, it was more than enough. Hacking into their security system would be as easy as snapping my fingers.The packhouse was mostly quiet at this hour. Most people had already retreated to their rooms for the night. The usual guard patrols were absent from the hallways, giving me the perfect chance. I moved silently, stepping into shadows and ducking whenever I heard footsteps coming my way. My destination:

I didn't stop there for a moment after that. Running off, I stopped only after reaching my room.Shit! How could he come so early?

*Avery*Eden stood before me, trembling with fear as she murmured, “I’m sorry, Luna. I failed to perform the task you assigned to me.” Her voice quavered, and I could see the guilt etched on her face. My anger boiled over. The first part of my plan had failed spectacularly, and I hadn't anticipated Zander intervening to save his ex-mate. This only fueled my thirst for revenge, making me more determined than ever.“Don’t worry,” I said, my voice cold and unyielding. “But remember, this should never happen again. I want that little whore to suffer before she dies in misery. I’ll make sure she’s ensnared in a crime so grave that the Alpha King himself will be forced to execute her. Only then will I find peace.” My eyes narrowed as I imagined the cruel end I planned for Selena. She dared to steal my love and would pay dearly for her audacity.“Of course, Luna,” Eden said, her tone dripping with flattery. “You are invincible and the most clever. No one can outwit you.

I gasped, my breath hitching in shock. My eyes darted to Zander, but he remained eerily calm, unaffected by the demon’s taunts.“If you had just accepted my terms, I wouldn’t have had to go this far,” the demon sneered. “I wouldn’t have had to destroy your people, enslave your shadows, and turn everything in my favor. Now, you’re all nothing but my slaves for the rest of your pathetic lives.” His eyes darkened with cruel delight as he added, “And the Ancient Wolf will be mine.”Then, his gaze snapped to me, and his filthy grin widened. “The only thing that remains the same,” he spat, “is that Selena still dies.”“You can dream, demon,” Zander said with a soft, knowing smile before turning to face me. His eyes held a mixture of determination and sorrow, making my heart clench.“This is the only way to stop him, mate,” he whispered, his voice laced with finality. “Always remember, I love you.”Confusion twisted inside me. “What are you—”Before I could finish my sentence, Zander’s voice

“She’s a traitor too!” the man who looked exactly like Zander shouted.Before I could even process what was happening, Maddox stepped forward, flanked by two guards.“You’re under our custody,” they declared, raising their weapons at me.Shock crashed over me like a tidal wave. Maddox? Betraying Zander? But before I could react, they shoved me toward Zander. I didn’t resist—I wanted to be close to him.“What’s going on, Zander?” I demanded, my voice laced with confusion and fear.“Oh, Selena… why did you come here?” he groaned, his voice thick with anguish, his face filled with helplessness.“Well, well,” the imposter drawled, finally catching my full attention.The Dark Alpha.I narrowed my eyes at him, my stomach twisting in disgust.

Four months had passed, and the world had gradually settled back into its natural rhythm. The catastrophe had been averted, and peace now stretched across the realms, restoring balance to the universe.I remained in the Lunar Realm with Zander and Austin, embracing the destiny that had been chosen for me. Austin had now remembered everything as the spell was broken and he now thrived under the love and attention he received as the prince of the Lunar Realm. The people had accepted Zander as my mate and husband, granting him the same respect they showed me.Despite his responsibilities as Alpha King, Zander traveled between his pack and the Lunar Realm daily. I had voiced my concerns, telling him it was risky to shift between realms so frequently, but he had only smiled and said, "For me, it's just like commuting to work."I couldn’t deny how much I cherished his presence, so I let him make the choice.On days when he had to stay in his pack longer, I accompanied him, ensuring that our

As my heart sank, the lava began to recede, shrinking its perimeter and retreating on its own. The ominous red moons grew smaller, drifting farther away with each passing second. The sacrifice had worked—the prophecy was fulfilled.“Let’s go from here,” the Moon Goddess said, her grip tightening around my hand.“What will happen to the Dark Realm?” God Pyrrhos asked.“The Almighty will assign it to another deity, appointing a new god of destruction,” Goddess Sylvara informed, and the Moon Goddess nodded in agreement.With that, we left the Dark Realm, but my eyes lingered on the spot where my mother had made the ultimate sacrifice to save the universe.I found myself back in the Lunar Realm. The sky had now returned to normal, and the three red moons were nowhere to be seen.“Selena,” the Moon Goddess said, her voice gentle yet firm. “I now entrust you with the Lunar Realm. It is yours to protect and nurture.”“But Goddess, how will I do it alone without the High Priestess?” I asked,

God Pyrrhos swung his hands aggressively, and the men performing the ritual were hurled through the air, crashing into the far corners of the field.The moment their chanting ceased, I felt Arena surge back into me, our bond reforging like an unbreakable chain. She howled in my mind, her fury mirroring my own.Kaelvor snarled, his hands emanating thick black smoke, ready to strike. “What are you all doing in my realm?” he growled, his voice laced with venom.“I should never have trusted you, Kaelvor,” my mother seethed, her body trembling with fury as she stepped toward me. She knelt, helping me to my feet, her warmth grounding me amidst the chaos.Kaelvor let out a mocking laugh, his crimson eyes gleaming with amusement. “And yet, you were fool enough to do so.”“My mother is no fool!” I roared, my voice ringing through the open field.She wasn’t a fool—she was a mother willing to defy fate itself to save her daughter from prophecy.“But you are foolish enough to believe you could co

"No!" I screamed, my voice raw with agony. The pain of being torn from Arena was unbearable, searing through me like fire, both physically and emotionally. My soul felt as if it were being ripped apart. Breathing heavily, I fell to my knees as my vision blurred."Stop this right now!" I yelled, struggling against the invisible force holding me in place. But the chanting only grew louder, their dark ritual continuing without pause.Kaelvor watched with eerie detachment, his expression almost bored. "Just a few more minutes, Selena," he said carelessly, as if my suffering was nothing more than an inconvenience. "Then you’ll be free from this pain."That evil god!"You... you will regret this, Kaelvor," I snarled, my voice hoarse from screaming. Arena whimpered in my mind, her pain echoing mine.Kaelvor let out a low, amused chuckle. "Ah? And who will make me regret it?" His golden eyes gleamed with cruel delight. "You?" He shook his head, lips curling into a wicked grin. "Your world wil
The Alpha's Ex-Mate Deceit
God Kaelvor took me to the Dark Realm with him, and the journey itself was an experience beyond imagination. His realm-traveling ship was unlike anything I had ever seen—crafted from gleaming obsidian and etched with silver runes that pulsed with a faint, rhythmic glow. The air inside was thick with power, a hum of energy that sent shivers down my spine.As we entered the dark realm, I braced myself for an endless void, for a world without light. But instead, we were greeted by a strange sight—there was illumination here, a soft glow from the swirling skies above that bathed the land in hues of violet and deep red. The terrain was rich with bizarre, otherworldly flora that seemed to thrive in the strange light. It wasn’t a barren wasteland, as I’d imagined, but a place that seemed... too alive.The people who walked the cobblestone streets looked anything but normal. They moved with mechanical precision, eyes fixed forward, faces cold and emotionless, as though bound by some unseen fo

"King Jasper," I murmured, keeping my gaze steady. "What are you going to do with the golden trident?" I asked, trying to read his expression.His face remained unreadable, but his grip on the trident tightened. "This weapon holds immense power," he said. "It can also possess whoever wields it, turning them into its slave. Keeping it in my possession would be too dangerous."I frowned. "Then what do you plan to do?""I can’t just leave it behind for another power-hungry monster to find," Jasper continued. "So I’ve decided to destroy it, rendering it useless. That way, its power will be absorbed back into the universe, never to be claimed again."Hearing his decision, I finally felt at ease. It reassured me that Jasper truly wanted peace among shifters and the entire paranormal world.Jasper placed the trident on the ground and instructed, “Take a few steps back.” We did as he said.He then chanted something in a hushed voice before raising his staff.

I looked around, my gaze sweeping over Alpha Albert, Cassandra, and Oliver. They stood beside Damon, their expressions unreadable—but not surprised. So Selena was right. They had been waiting for us to split up, hoping to take advantage and defeat us separately.I let out a low chuckle, my eyes locking onto Damon. “I also didn’t expect you to be hiding like a coward,” I taunted, a smirk curling at my lips. “The great ancient Warlock King—turns out he’s nothing but a weakling.”Damon’s eyes flared with fury as he slammed his golden trident against the cave floor, the impact sending a faint tremor through the ground. “Shut up!” he snarled. “I’m not a coward! I was waiting for the right moment.”“Whatever!” I snorted, my gaze flicking to his so-called army. “Yet here I am, alone, standing right in front of you in your own little domain—and you still need your pathetic lackeys to face me.”“We’ll see who’s pathetic,” Damon sneered, lifting his trident, ready to strike. But when I didn’t m
