When Ashley was kidnapped and called for help from her mate, all she got was a simple "Contact later" from him. Left to fend for herself, she barely escaped, but lost her wolf. While she was on the brink of death, her mate, Jace was spending time with his childhood sweetheart, Carina. Heartbroken, Ashley decided to break up with him and reject their mate bond, but Jace refused and instead proposed to her. Just when Ashley finally decided to marry Jace, she uncovered the painful truth—she was never his first choice. She was merely a stand-in for Carina, used to protect her. Forced to become Luna to shield her from harm, Ashley went through with the mating ceremony. But on that day, Alphas from multiple packs stepped forward, claiming that Ashley was their mate, demanding to take her away. Whose Luna is she?

AshleyLike an iron cage, the Mating Ceremony loomed over me, its grandeur only emphasizing my impending fate and doom. The entire pack had gathered, elders and warriors alike, along with visiting wolves from other packs. The air buzzed with an anxious energy, a stark contrast to the suffocating dread rising in my chest like a wave.Inside the dressing chamber where I waited to be called upon, I fastened the intricate waist chain around my ceremonial gown, the weight of my expensive cloak pressing on my shoulders. Outside, four high-ranking warriors stood guard. Four. As if I were a high-value prisoner rather than a former warrior stripped of my wolf and status.Carina stormed in, her expression twisted with malice. Her gaze flickered over my attire, and jealousy darkened her eyes. She dressed so much like me that at first glance, it was hard to tell who the real Luna was."Do you feel proud of yourself?” she sneered, stepping closer. "Better not get too overconfident, because I'll m

Ashley I couldn't get away from the door fast enough, before I was grabbed and dragged into the hall. With a single jab to my back, I was forced to my knees before the Elders, Jace and the prisoner. I tried to fight it off but I wasn’t strong enough. Elder Joseph was quick to speak. “Kill her. We can’t risk this getting out. Keeping her around at this point is more of a risk.” He got up from his seat and came over to me. His cold eyes watched me like a hawk, assessing my every move. I was completely helpless—my limbs bound, my mouth gagged. He knelt down and pressed his hands into my throat, with the clear intent of ending my life. Panic surged within me as I struggled for breath. My eyes started to roll back into my head and the edges of my vision started to darken. All I could think about was how Jace, who I had trusted, was watching while I was getting strangled to death. “I agree. She’s just an orphan. She’s already served her purpose,” another elder chimed. “Getting rid of

Ashley The joy of Jace's earlier proposal felt like nothing but a cruel joke. "What about my arm?" My voice trembled, but I refused to back down. "This happened because I was trying to stop her from getting hurt.” Jace’s gaze flickered to the blood pooling at my feet. For a moment, he hesitated. Then, releasing Carina, he rushed to my side. His hands cradled my injured arm with a gentleness that made my chest tighten. "I’m . . . sorry, my dear." His voice softened, full of regret. "I’m just so used to worrying about Carina. I didn't mean to lash out at you." Carina shot me a glare of pure resentment before storming out. But Jace didn’t chase after her—he was waiting for my response. Once, his apology would have reassured me. But now, I was just tired. Tired of being an afterthought. Tired of always being overlooked and neglected. "I know you and Carina have nothing going on, but you needed to hear the things she said to me before you got here." I met his gaze, searching for an

Ashley I repeated my words without hesitation. "I want us to break up. Please. Reject me." My voice trembled, and sounded raw even to my own ears. The pain in my heart was pouring out of me like a flood.Jace's expression darkened. His jaw tightened, fingers twitching at his sides like he was holding himself from doing something dangerous. "No." His voice was low, a growl laced with finality. "Don’t even think about it." The Alpha Command slammed into me like invisible chains, locking my body in place. I couldn't even get a full breath out because of how heavy the words were. "I already told the elders about our mate bonding ceremony and have prepared to invite all the neighboring packs. Soon, you'll be the pack’s Luna. No one else can take that place." His voice left no room for argument. His grip on my wrists tightened, his warmth searing against my skin."I know I wasn’t enough before, I know I haven't always been here, where I belong," he murmured, almost desperate. "Bu

Ashley The day everything changed for the worse started like any other morning. As the strongest warrior of the Moonlit Silver Pack, I led my team through the northwest border, with my muscles tense and my senses sharp. I was doing all of this not because I wanted to, but because even if Jace and I weren’t officially mates yet, I had already stepped into the role of Luna. Also because, deep down, I did it for him. Always for him. My team and I pushed through the woods, but in a flash, they were gone. So quickly that I didn't even notice when all I could sense around me was the quiet, eerie air of the forest. My heart pounded in my chest as I spun around, looking for them. But all I could find were more trees, grass and earth. No bodies. No faces. A tree branch crunched nearby, and I frantically turned to the source of the noise, ready to fight if the situation required it. But what I saw instead turned my blood ice cold. Five—no—six Rogues emerged from the trees, their grins
