"I should have known you were like this, Olivia. You're so... disgusting, I think it's time for us to end," "No, Lucas, no..." Lucas looked at me coldly and said the words that broke my heart, "I, Lucas Mason of Shadowclaw Pack, reject you, Olivia Furlong of Bloodmoon Pack." "You are no longer my Luna," Lucas said, turning and leaving. I looked helplessly at the door, tears blurring my vision. *** My marriage was the outcome of a Pack alliance, and though Lucas and I weren't Fate Mates, our life together was fairly content. However, on the day of our wedding anniversary, I was framed for infidelity, and Lucas was furious to reject me. As I left, bewildered and heartbroken, I unexpectedly ran into my stepsister, revealing her as the mastermind behind it all. She ruthlessly plunged a silver dagger into me and I died in pain. But the story didn't end there. The Moon Goddess granted me a second chance! This time, I won't allow my stepsister's schemes to succeed, nor will I ever let myself get close to Lucas again. Little did I know that this new life would be filled with unexpected twists and turns...
Olivia's POV
"Luna..." My omega maid greeted hesitantly as she knocked on the door. She was standing in the doorway holding a bottle of red wine in her hands and looking down at her feet. "This is... This is a gift prepared by the members of Pack for you and Alpha's wedding anniversary tomorrow..." she stuttered.
"Thank you," I smiled in surprise at the thoughtfulness, but just as I was about to take the wine, her body suddenly trembled, and the wine bottle almost fell from her shaking hands to the ground.
She was anxious and almost crying, "Oh my God! I'm sorry, Luna, I'm sorry, I... " She exclaimed, her face crumpling in an instant as her whole body trembled.
I looked at her worriedly and tried to comfort her, "It's okay, don't be nervous. I really like this gift."
She shrank back and nervously glanced at me, then immediately lowered her head. Her hand holding the wine was shaking even more.
I smiled in what I hoped was a reassuring manner and took the wine. In an effort to comfort this timid omega a little bit, I poured the wine into a glass, drank it all in one gulp, and said with a smile, "Don't be so nervous. The wine is very good. I like it very much. Thank you for your gift."
"Okay, okay, Luna, as long as you like it..." She nodded, carefully glanced at me again, then at the empty wine glass, and hurriedly left.
I continued to prepare for the banquet. Tomorrow is the third anniversary of Lucas and me. I am really looking forward to it.
Lucas and I are in a business alliance...of sorts. We married each other in order to establish an alliance between our two Packs. Unfortunately, we had a misunderstanding on the night of our engagement, and since then, I have always felt Lucas's indifference and deliberate alienation towards me.
But Lucas is still a gentleman, there is no doubt about that. He respects me and occasionally takes good care of me. Although his indifference most of the time hurts me deeply, I can't help but be moved by his occasional thoughtfulness.
I sighed and was about to raise my head but suddenly felt something was wrong.
I felt like the whole world was spinning, and my body was rapidly getting weaker and weaker with each second that passed. My hands and feet became heavier and heavier! I quickly grabbed hold of the table edge for support to prevent myself from falling.
What the hell was going on?!
At this moment, footsteps sounded behind me. I turned my head and saw two unfamiliar werewolves walking in. They were squinting at me with malicious intent, and I felt the danger in the air around them.
"Aria!" I called to my wolf in my mind, ready to transform and fight at any time, but my wolf did not respond to me.
"Aria! Aria, can you hear me!?" I anxiously called her, but I still didn't get a response.
I immediately realized that there was a problem with the wine. Someone might have poisoned it with wolfsbane! The omega wasn't so nervous because she was timid, but because she was panicking and guilty of doing something wrong and afraid of being caught!
I wanted to run away, but the two werewolves grabbed me. They pinned me down on the bed and violently tore off my clothes. I saw their disgusting grins, which made me feel nauseous.
I struggled frantically and shouted for help, but my body refused to obey my commands. I no longer had control over my limbs.
I glared angrily at the two werewolves on me, my fury enveloping me. I really wanted to tear them to pieces, but I couldn't fucking move!
"What are you doing?!" Lucas' voice suddenly came from the door.
Thank god, Lucas is here!
I used all my strength to look at him, sobbing and trying to ask for his help with my eyes.
But the angry Lucas didn't notice. He stood at the door and looked at us, lowering his voice and growling, "What the fuck are you doing, Olivia? Do you have to have sex with another wolf in our room the day before our wedding anniversary?!"
No, no, I didn't! Lucas, it's not like that!' I screamed in my mind.
I wanted to explain to him, to ask for his help, but I didn't have the strength to sit up or speak. I could only helplessly watch Lucas' expression change from anger to disappointment to indifference, and I couldn't do a damn thing about it.
"I should have known you were like this, Olivia. I knew it when we got engaged. You're so promiscuous that it makes me sick. I think it's time for us to end this alliance."
No, Lucas, no...
Lucas looked at me coldly and said the words that broke my heart: "I, Lucas Mason of Shadowclaw Pack, officially reject you, Olivia Furlong of Bloodmoon Pack."
"You are no longer my Luna and no longer the Shadowclaw Pack's Luna," Lucas said, turning and leaving.
I looked helplessly at the door, tears blurring my vision.
Lucas left without once looking back over his shoulder. I closed my eyes, feeling a sadness I had never felt before as tears streamed down my cheeks.
As soon as he had left the two werewolves pulled me up roughly and took me through the pack house and out into the forest. Not a single person tried to stop them on the way and the thought that no one wanted to help broke me in two. Had I really been that bad of a Luna? They pulled to a stop in a clearing before throwing me on the ground.
At this moment, footsteps sounded beside me. I struggled to lift my head and saw a familiar figure - Emily, my step-sister who always framed me! Of course it was her!
Look at you, Olivia, she laughed. "You're lying on the ground like a stupid rat, all dirty. How pathetic."
I still couldn't move, I could only stare at her helplessly.
She kicked me in the stomach, and I trembled in pain. But she looked very happy at the moment, "The wine with the special additions tastes good, right, Olivia? That was specially prepared just for you. You're really stupid though, you know... being trapped by the same trick twice."
I was stunned, looking at her wide-eyed. Twice? Does that mean the accident at the engagement banquet was also--
"That's right," It was almost as if Emily saw through my thoughts. She squatted down with a silver knife against my neck. "It was me who put the aphrodisiac at the engagement banquet before, and it was also put in the wine, just like this time. That's why I said you were stupid, Olivia."
She used the knife that she held in her hand to cut large and small wounds on my body. Blood quickly oozed out and dripped onto the grass. "How does it feel to be misunderstood by your own husband? Oh, sorry, I forgot, he's not your husband anymore, Olivia." she said with a smirk.
Suddenly, she seemed to become excited and began acting a little crazy, shouting loudly with glee, "He's about to become my husband! I will make him fall in love with me and he'll fall so madly and deeply, that he'll never even think of you!"
I was trembling with pain, but still weakly looking at her. A mocking smile appeared on my face as I mouthed, "Becoming Luna can't change the fact that you are a lowly Omega bitch like your mother Sophia, who only relies on dirty, underhanded methods to gain what little power she can, Emily."
Her face changed into an expression of outrage and, as the realization of what I had mouthed sank in, her face twisted into an ugly expression filled with anger.
With a scream of fury she plunged the dagger downwards and it tore through my flesh, graating against the bone as she screamed wildly, "You slut! What did you say about me?! Say it again?! What did you say?!!"
She was like a possessed woman, stabbing and piercing my soft skin with the biting metal blade over and over and over again. She stabbed my shoulder, arm, and calf with the knife. It cut my neck, tore my cheek and penetrated my lung. I could feel the ground growing wet beneath me as a large amount of blood gushed out of my wounds and stained the ground red.
Pain instantly spread throughout my body and I convulsed in pain. The wound on my chest made it impossible for me to breathe and tears streamed down my cheeks. But the pain didn't make me afraid. On the contrary, it aroused my anger. I roared furiously in my heart, staring at her with red eyes. The anger and hatred that boiled inside of me almost making me lose my mind.
Damn it! If there is a chance, I will definitely kill her! Definitely--!
But the severe pain quickly took away all my senses. Gradually, as my life ebbed away, the sound of her voice faded, my vision faded and the excruciating pain faded to nothing.
I closed my eyes and felt everything around me drifting away from me.
"I, Alpha Miller, hereby reject you, Isla Higgins, as my mate and Luna of the Pembroke pack," he said with a smirk as his beta pinned me against the wall. My heart shattered into a thousand pieces, and I felt a physical ache in my body as pain penetrated through me. “There is no competition here.” Mora, the girl who had made my life hell since childhood, wrapped herself around my fated mate, and he pulled her into his chest, kissing her with passion and lust. I glared at her in frustration and wished I could punch her fake image. Isla decides to leave the pack after the humiliating rejection and the betrayal. Five years later, she returns to her old pack after her mother falls ill. As she comes to terms with the past and becomes a respected warrior in the Eclipse Moon Pack, secrets and lies are revealed.

My birth brought death to my mother, and my father grew to hate me for it, leaving me vulnerable to the abuse of my stepmother and stepsister. My mere appearance served as a constant reminder to my stepmother of the woman my father once loved the most - my mother. Consumed by jealousy, she relentlessly sought to destroy my life, but will she succeed? "Sign this contract, become my Luna, and after the contract term ends, you will receive generous rewards and freedom." "What do I need to do during the contract? Sleep with you?" "You just need to play the role of my Luna. We will only pretend to be a couple in public, and there's no need for marking each other," "It seems arrogance is indeed a common trait among every Alpha," "What?" "Alpha Logan, what makes you think I would readily accept your proposal?" I continued, my voice now laced with a mix of anger and defiance. "Just because I'm a wolf-less unwanted daughter? Or do you think you're so noble and handsome that I should be grateful and accept your offer for a large sum of money?" "I didn't mean it like that," he stumbled. I once thought the man who saved me was just an insignificant nobody, but little did I know he was the most ruthless Alpha on the entire continent, responsible for killing his own Mate. What stunned me was that he wanted me to become his Luna?!
"I, Gabriel Foster of the Nightfall Pack, hereby announce that my fated mate Raine will be joining our pack. I hope that everyone will treat both Raine and Luna Elena with equal respect in the future." My husband Gabriel had announced in front of all of our pack members on our third wedding anniversary that he had found his fated mate. I stared blankly at the two figures cuddled up in the center of the hall as a wave of numbness washed over me and I listened to all of the members of the pack congratulating them wholeheartedly. Gabriel's so-called Fated Mate, Raine, feigning innocence and vulnerability, handed me a glass of wine. But that glass of wine took my life! Yet, the Moon Goddess decided my story wasn't over. She granted me a second chance. This time, I am determined to peel back the mask of that bitch and make Gabriel experience a regret so profound it will be his living torment!
I yearned to be acknowledged as a deserving Luna, even though the entire pack never addressed me as such. Nevertheless, I persevered, striving for their respect. Within each pack, leaders must earn the pack's allegiance rather than coerce it. Hence, I continued to push myself beyond the limits I had never before explored. Yet, despite my relentless efforts, I was deceived and betrayed. My so-called mate, Brett, and my supposed best friend, Jennifer, shattered my trust. We grew up without parents, but I cared for Jennifer as a sister would. Nevertheless, she plunged a metaphorical knife into my back. Now and future, never again will I allow anyone to exploit my vulnerability, I will reclaim my standing.
"Mason, I want to cut all ties with you. No marriage and no bond. We're done," "You want a rejection?" "I know that you have never loved me, Mason... It would be better that we were both free to pursue our own interests." "Freedom? Willow, freedom is a privilege that only good and innocent people have the luxury of. You are neither of those things so what makes you think that I should let you go free?" He sneered. "What do you mean?" I said as my brows creased in confusion. "Isn't it fucking obvious?" Mason mocked as he cracked his knuckles in his hands, "Your parent's hands are stained with the blood of my parents, you don't deserve to be free whilst you atone for their sins?" *** Throughout my year of marriage, I have constantly suffered from the pain of Mate Bond. My mate would sleep with various she-wolves but never spare me a glance. He would allow his lovers to mock and insult me, his wife, his Luna, and he did it all just to inflict pain on me. I couldn't bear it any longer, so I asked to end the relationship, but he refused. Just when I felt pain and confusion, a powerful Lycan King appeared...
My heart shattered the second I walked into that bar and saw my boyfriend of three years making out with who I thought was my best friend. My boyfriend, the one who had just talked to me about getting married to me a few nights ago. In a night of heartbreak and alcohol, I bowed to forget about him. But fate threw me a curve ball when I woke up in bed with the person I least expected... Dad's partner and the same man that I had lost my virginity to when I was younger, Daniel Halloway. To make matters worse, we were married, and he refuses to annul our marriage. "I'll give you a divorce, but only after our contract is over. After that, you're free to go." he corners me back to the wall making me feel like a small prey, waiting to be devoured by its hunter. "But until then... You're mine, and I will do with you as I so damn well please," he whispers in my ear, sending shivers up my spine.
