The next time you mention Evelyn with that filthy mouth of yours, I will rip out your tongue. I don't care what any of you think, but I made a promise to her. I must find her killer, and I will never spare them."
As soon as Eric let go of me, I collapsed to the ground, coughing hard.
"Get ready. We're going to your pack this evening. Make sure you take everything you'll need," he said before shutting the door.
Despite the pain in my neck and the ache in my heart, my mind was forced back to reality. Friday was only two days away—the day of my brother's coronation and the day I was supposed to hand over a hundred million dollars to an unknown person. My heart sank.
Dragging myself up from the floor, I started packing. I couldn't afford to provoke Eric’s wrath again. I pulled down my large suitcase and shoved in my valuables. I needed to sell some of my things and pretend I didn't need them anymore. Thaila would help me find buyers.

"Aster is the only one permitted to call me that," she said. "It’s either Valeria or, well, if I get crowned, you can call me Luna."My mom chuckled, but I was shocked. She was so arrogant and didn’t seem to care who I was. No one had ever spoken to me like that before. She was fearless and unapologetic.Instantly, I admired her. She was my kind of woman—strong, independent, and determined."Sure, Valeria it is—until you get the crown.""Well, Valeria, this is my daughter Linnet—the sunshine of this family. She is married to Alpha Eric.""Nice to meet you, Linnet," Valeria said."Where is your husband?" my father asked."Isn't he supposed to be here?""Eric had an emergency. He’ll be here tomorrow.""Oh, I see. One reason I hate being an Alpha," My Dad muttered."Where is everyone? Darren, Thaila, and our newest Alpha?" I asked jokingly, hoping Valeria would smile, but she didn’t find my words funny. She continued staring at me in that same intimidating manner."Darren and Aster are i

"I appreciate each and every one of you for your support, and I ask for your loyalty to me and my husband, Aster. I know I am not from this pack, but I have taken my time to understand the areas that need attention for our administration to move forward. Trust me—we will handle these issues and much more once we become Alpha and Luna. You have nothing to worry about. We will ensure justice is served, and no one will be oppressed. Thank you once again for your support."There was satisfaction in their eyes followed by clapping ovation. Abigail looked at me with pride and admiration, I felt her hand squeezing mine with a warm smile plastered on her face.After the meeting, she took me around the pack house, introducing me to the people there and showing me the offices. Though she had never been a Luna, she understood pack politics well.I had the advantage of being an Alpha’s daughter. As my father’s only heir, he had allowed me to be involved in pack affairs. Darren and I were supposed

LINNET Valeria knocked on the door, and Phinaline—Evelyn's mother—came out. She was now a shadow of her former self. After what happened to her family, Phinaline had not been attending pack functions or any other events. But this was the coronation of a new Alpha, and she had no choice but to be in attendance. She and her husband had to be there.Valeria introduced herself and asked if we could come in. Phinaline accepted. As always, she was a sweet woman. For a moment, guilt consumed me for what I had done to this family. But I was paying for my sins. I have been paying ever since I killed Evelyn.“Please, sit,” she said.We settled down as Valeria opened the boxes and spoke to her.“Please don’t misunderstand me. You are not a charity case, and you never will be. But see this as a peace offering and a special invitation to the coronation. I don’t blame you if you despise me, but I would be happy if you see me not as an enemy, but as someone who has come to help you find justice for

“Keep the money with you tomorrow and wait for my instructions. Don’t misbehave, don't involve anyone—my eyes are on you.”What? The blackmailer was such a smart brat. What is he planning to do?. He knew that the pack would be extremely busy tomorrow and no one would pay me any attention. Why would he want the money in cash? How will I hand him over the money? How would I know who among the crowd is my blackmailer? Maybe I will watch out for the one that will carry my bag of money. But the blackmailer, will he be stupid enough to take the money in front of everyone?What should I do? I didn’t even have all the money. I had managed to gather thirty million from my account. Where was I supposed to get the remaining seventy million dollars?I had no time. I called my company accountant and instructed him to transfer seventy million dollars into our new project fund. I gave him the account details.Soon, the money appeared in my account. I called my account manager and requested the amou

VALERIATwo days later.Rico, my former boss, and Amanda, his assistant, were doing their best to prepare me. It was my wedding day—the day I would officially become the Luna of the Blood Moon pack.I was dressed in an ivory lace wedding gown. My short, blonde hair had been freshly trimmed, curled, and carefully tucked beneath my veil. I wore simple makeup, just enough to enhance my natural beauty.My skin was flawless, smooth, and free of any blemishes. Despite my slender frame, I looked healthy. My lips were glossy, my complexion radiant, and my straight nose gave me an air of elegance.As I sat there, gazing at my reflection, the memory of Clare, my best friend surface, As she applied my makeup before my supposed wedding to Darren. I didn't looked is stunning that day, but I had still been beautiful in my own way.Thinking of Clare brought tears to my eyes, but I wiped them away before they could fall.Just then, Abigail walked into the room.

The only person at the altar was the Elder, who would bless the marriage. I glanced around him as if expecting someone else to be there.“Didn’t Aster have groomsmen?” I wondered. Like me, he stood alone, with no one by his side.“I’d like us to get started—if you’re ready to pay attention now,” Aster teased, pinching my nose gently. He’d clearly noticed my wandering thoughts.Without waiting for a reply, he signaled to the Elder to begin the ceremony.“Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to be here today at the Blood Moon Pack to bless the union of these two Children of the Moon Goddess. Shall we?” the Elder said, his voice deep and steady.He glanced at Aster, who gave a single nod. Then, he looked at me with a soft smile, and I returned it nervously.“Do you, Valeria…”The Elder paused for a moment, stumbling slightly, and I blushed deeply. I had no last name—or at least, I had hidden it from them.Aster raised an eyebrow in confusion. He’d never asked me about my family, likely o

As Aster lowered his head to kiss me, my eyes caught someone staring. It was Darren. I saw something like anger in his eyes, but instead of dwelling on his frustration, I leaned in and met Aster’s lips, letting him cover mine with his. Aster forgot that we were still in the presence of everyone for a moment and let his tongue dig deeper into my mouth. Savoury every juice within it. It was our first real kiss, because I allowed myself to be completely drawn in it.Under the intense gaze of those two piercing dark blue eyes in front of me, I dug my hands into Aster’s thick brown hair, letting his hands roam freely over my body.The clearing of the Elder’s throat snapped us back to reality. Unfazed by the glare, Aster lowered his head to my neck and whispered softly in my ear,“I will wait until you’re ready.”Tears welled in my eyes, but before they could fall, Aster wiped them away with his thumb, smiling at me, silently promising that he would always be there for me.When I opened my

“Congratulations, my Luna,” Linnet said, kissing me lightly before turning to Aster and doing the same. Despite her composed demeanor, I noticed the sadness lingering in her eyes. She looked fragile, as though she might break at any moment.“Where has my little sister been all this while?” Aster teased, pretending to be annoyed. “Don’t you know you’re supposed to be here, helping your sister-in-law?”“Forgive me, brother. I was a little…” Linnet hesitated, searching for the right words.“Let Linnet be,” I interjected gently. “She had a fever last night and couldn’t sleep. I’m sure that’s why she’s late.” I smiled, hoping to ease her discomfort.“In that case, I forgive you,” Aster said, his expression softening. “Are you feeling better now?”Linnet sighed in relief and cast me a grateful glance. “Yes, I am. I’m just a bit tired and really need to rest.”“It’s okay, Linnet. Go and get some sleep,” I said reassuringly.“Thank you for understanding, my Luna,” Linnet replied, setting down

The next morning, news of what happened to Cornello spread like wildfire. While some supported the Alpha’s actions, others saw it as karma finally catching up with the old fool. However, there were a few who believed Cornello had been wrongly treated—but they could only murmur their thoughts, too afraid to say them out loud.Despite the rumors, I made my way to the pack hospital with Ryder, my assistant, Phinaline, my special advisor, and two of Ryder’s men who also served as my bodyguards.When we arrived, Cornello was alone. His wife had just left the hospital to fetch a few items he would need during his stay.I entered with Phinaline and Ryder. The moment Cornello saw me, he became terrified, begging for mercy.“Please, my Luna, don’t hurt me! I won’t anger you again—just show me mercy!”I chuckled.“Mercy? That’s a word I’ve long forgotten. You dared to slap your Luna. You should be grateful all you lost was your hand. Next time, it won’t end there.”Cornello was speechless. When

Cornello was dumbstruck. When had he slapped me? How?“Please believe me, my Alpha. I didn’t do anything to her! I swear I didn’t slap her!”I cried harder. “Look at my face. Who else could have hit me just now?”Aster’s eyes darkened. He had heard the sound of a slap and I was alone with Cornello. When he looked at my face, he saw the imprint of five fingers on my cheek. His expression turned red with fury.In an instant, Aster grabbed Cornello by the shirt and struck him hard across the face. Cornello staggered backward, but before he could fall, Aster seized him again and landed another punch—this time knocking out two of his teeth.The other council members rushed in and restrained Aster.“You dare lay your filthy hands on my queen?” he roared, his chest heaving with rage. Oscar and Bernard flinched at the sound.Aster tried to wipe my tears, but when he touched my

“And I want my own office. As the Luna of this pack, I have my own special agenda, and I can't wait to start working.”This time, there was no smile on Aster's face. He was neither angry nor happy—just shocked and surprised.ASTERI had never noticed the allure Valeria carried until now. She looked beautiful yet cold, her eyes bottomless—like an immortal fairy who had come to live among mortals. Her light golden hair gleamed, highlighting her ocean-blue orbs. She curled her bright red lips, and my heart twitched."Damn, I'm so lucky to be her husband," I thought to myself.“My Luna will have whatever she wants. She will serve side by side with me. I trust everyone understands this?” I said.The council members nodded in agreement. Lanzo, Bernard, and Oscar—the three council members from the weaker packs—did not object. Not that their opinions mattered much; the real power lay with Cornello, Zanto, and Francis, the three council members from the wealthy and dominant packs.Before I cou

For a split second, the room remained silent before murmurs began to spread."Do you have any problems with that?" Aster asked, his voice chilling. His eyes darkened as he stared at Cornello with such intensity that the man was forced to look away."Hmm, not that I have an issue with your decision," Zanto, one of the council members I had asked Ryder to investigate, said. "But Darius can no longer hold any office in this pack because of what happened in the past."Zanto was the one who had laughed the hardest when Cornello called me a lunatic after I reported the atrocities the Shadow Moons committed against my pack to the council. He had sneered, claiming lunacy ran in my bloodline. Watching him speak now, I was reminded of that laughter, and I couldn't wait to return the favor when his downfall came.Before Zanto could finish, his companion Francis stood up."We can't allow this! Darius' family has no right to hold such a position of power in thi

The other lady, who seemed interested in the gossip, was uncomfortable to listen due to the environment they were in. She turned to Eunice and pointed at the items she had chosen, and booked appointments for her makeup. After paying, she hurried out of the store before her companion could say anything more terrible.I smiled. Linnet was behaving strangely and it got the people talking. It's only a matter of time before I sent her to the psychiatrist.I returned home late in the evening, and Aster was waiting for me. As soon as I walked in, he pulled me into his arms."You look tired," he said."I'm exhausted," I replied.After the pack women left, a flood of customers arrived, all needing their hair and makeup done. Then, I had to attend a business meeting with a representative from Great Stars Entertainment for a contract signing. They wanted me to be the costume designer for their upcoming movie. It was one of the largest and most successful entertainment companies in the country

"This is amazing! How did you get this?" I asked my face filled with smiles."I prepared these documents with your lawyer a few days ago. I knew Cornello would try something stupid during the coronation, so I watched him. I followed him to Shadow-Moon’s backyard, where he tried to force Linnet into an affair. I stepped in just in time, stopped them, and made them sign away their shares.""This is very impressive, Ryder. I will reward you handsomely."Ryder’s face darkened. "I don’t need any rewards from you. I have plenty of money. All I want is to see the Shadow-Moons crushed to the ground and their lives in misery. I’m doing this for my parents. Once this job is done, I’m going back to Texas."I was left speechless, so I did the only thing I could think of—I hugged him and whispered, "Thank you."My phone rang, making me pull away from Ryder. I picked up the device and saw Aster’s name flash

VALERIAAs I stepped out of my room the next morning, I met Linnet, dressed impeccably as always. Her beautiful face looked pale, and she seemed weak—far too innocent and humble, something that had never been in her nature before."Linnet, how are you doing today?" I asked as I approached her.She smiled weakly. "Better than last night. Thanks for helping me.""It's nothing. I'm glad I could help.""It seems you're going somewhere?" she asked."I'm going to my studio. I have some work to do."Linnet looked at me in surprise. "Aren't you supposed to be on your honeymoon?"I chuckled. "Those things aren't for me. Besides, Aster is okay with it. If you don't mind, I have to get going.""Hmm, please, can I come along with you? I feel bored and need some fresh air."I looked at Linnet, wishing I could squeeze her little neck. How could she even think of coming close to me? I didn't know what this woman was up to, but I wouldn't let her get any closer."I'm sorry, Linnet, maybe some other t

VALERIAI watched as Linnet fell back asleep, I smiled at myself. She had no idea what I have been feeding her with and it has started taking impact and soon, she will be ruined forever.I glanced at Aster, who seemed surprised by how quickly her fever had dropped.“Thank you for helping Linnet” he said. Aster still finds it difficult to call her sister.“It’s nothing. Beside she’s my sister-in-law now,” I replied.Aster took my hand, and we quietly left the room. Unfortunately, apart from our private living room and gym , Linnet’s room was the only other room on the same floor with ours and we are the only ones who came for her rescue."What about her husband?" I asked Aster as we headed towards our apartment."The bastard wasn't even here to take care of his wife, that's why I hate being an Alpha" he said, and frowned."Hope you won't abandon me like that in the future?" Aster stopped and stared at me seriously then squeezing my hands he said."I will never abandon you Val. You wil

LINNETAfter I watched the masked man stride away the same way he had come, my whole body burned up, as though I had been thrown into a fire. My legs weakened beneath me, barely able to hold me up. Gradually, the night darkened, and a chilling wind began to blow, carrying with it a strange and frightening noise that sent shivers down my spine. Then, suddenly, I heard a terrifying, whispery sound accompanied by a gentle breeze.“Linnet,” someone called my name from behind. I jolted in fear and turned around, only to see a woman clothed in white long gown, which flowed down her feet, covering every inch of her toes. Her disheveled hair framed her face, and blood dripping from her eyes like tears. I have never seen anything like that since I was born.I froze in terror. My breath hitched, and my heart pounded wildly as I recognized her—Evelyn. Even though I was a wolf, I had never believed in ghosts. But there she was, Evelyn’s ghost, standing before me in the darkness, staring at me
