All Chapters of Alpha's Single-Mother Luna: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Sylvie’s POVThe name "Black Gold Group" rippled through Ray's mansion like a poisoned wave, turning the already tense atmosphere toxic. Pack members drew closer together instinctively, as if the mere mention of the organization might summon its shadows into their midst."The Black Gold Group?" Someone whispered, horror evident in their voice. "The same ones who destroyed the Red Moon Pack last spring?""And the Silver Creek Pack before that," another added. "They never leave survivors...""Except they did," I said, my voice cutting through the fearful murmurs. "Once. Seventeen years ago." My hands clenched into fists so tight my nails bit into my palms. "When they destroyed the Moonlight Pack."The memories I'd suppressed for so long came rushing back: the sudden financial collapse, the mysterious accidents, the strategic "mistakes" that had left our pack vulnerable. And finally, that night – the night everything burned."The Black Gold Group doesn't just destroy packs," I continued,

Sylvie’s POV Just as the tension between Marcus and Ray reached its peak, another commotion erupted at the mansion's entrance. A group of rough-looking werewolves burst in, led by a face I hadn't seen in seventeen years but had haunted my nightmares – James Blackthorn, my father's former Beta who'd been exiled from Moonlight Pack."Well, well," James's voice dripped with malice, "if it isn't our cursed Luna Wolf, living the high life in Eastridge Pack." His scarred face twisted into a cruel smile. "Did you think we wouldn't find you, Selena?"The new arrival sent fresh waves of shock through the already stunned crowd. Pack members pressed against the walls, trying to distance themselves from the growing conflict at the center of the room."James Blackthorn," I acknowledged, keeping my voice steady despite the way my heart hammered against my ribs. "Still bitter about your exile, I see."His eyes flashed dangerously. "Exile? Is that what you call it? Your father stripped me of my rank

Sylvie’s POV Carter Wood's entire demeanor transformed as James Blackthorn's rogues filled the mansion. Gone was the nervous, cornered Beta – in his place stood a man drunk on the taste of imminent victory. His chest puffed out as he moved to stand beside James, finally ready to reveal the full scope of his ambitions."I have to admit," Carter announced, his voice carrying an edge of smug satisfaction, "finding you wasn't easy, Selena Hall. Even with Black Gold Group's resources, you covered your tracks well." His lips curved into a cruel smile. "But the moment you stepped into my territory, I knew. A lone wolf with your qualifications, taking such keen interest in our old financial records? It was too perfect.""Your territory?" Ray's voice was deadly quiet. "Last I checked, Carter, you were Beta of my pack.""A temporary position," Carter waved his hand dismissively. "One I've endured while waiting for the right moment. Do you have any idea how frustrating it's been, watching you r

Sylvie’s POV The tension in Ray's mansion had reached a breaking point. Even with several of James's followers now standing with me, the air crackled with imminent violence. James himself had taken on the desperate look of a cornered animal – and those were always the most dangerous."You think revealing my past changes anything?" James snarled, his composure finally shattering completely. "At least I never abandoned my responsibilities to the pack! Unlike our precious Luna Wolf, who ran when we needed her most!"The accusation hit harder than I wanted to admit. For seventeen years, I'd carried the guilt of surviving when so many others hadn't."You want to talk about abandonment?" James continued, sensing he'd struck a nerve. "Tell them, Selena! Tell them how you rejected the Moon Goddess's blessed mate bond! How you spat on our most sacred traditions!"He turned to address both his remaining followers and Ray's pack members. "A Luna Wolf's primary duty is to strengthen her pack thr

Sylvie’s POVThe tension in Ray's mansion reached a fever pitch after Carter's threat – but instead of the anger or fear everyone expected, Ray threw his head back and laughed. The sound was so unexpected, so genuinely amused, that even I found myself staring at him in confusion."Oh, Carter," Ray said, wiping tears of mirth from his eyes, "you really should have paid more attention during all those strategy meetings."He clapped his hands sharply, and suddenly the mansion's doors burst open. A dozen wolves I'd never seen before moved with military precision, surrounding the corrupt executives before anyone could react. Their coordination and timing spoke of careful planning and long preparation."What is this?" Carter's face had gone from triumphant to ashen in seconds. "You can't—these are pack members! You have no right—""Actually," Ray's smile turned predatory, "every single one of these 'executives' signed away their pack rights the moment they accepted Black Gold Group's bribes
