I was only fifteen when everything changed.
The moon was full that night, the Silvermoon Pack in chaos.
"Run, Ali! Run!"
My father's scream pierced through the night, but I couldn't move.
The Delta was already here. Too close.
"Sweet, sweet Ali... You'll learn to love me, eventually."
His foul hands brushed against my cheek. The scent of him... suffocating.
I was just a member of Silvermoon Pack. My worth? Only in my beauty, my body.
Born into a world where wolves like me were meant to be slaves. He made sure I knew it.
"Your parents' blood will be on your hands, little one. They died protecting you."
Those words hit harder than anything.
But I couldn't stop him. I couldn't stop the nightmare.
Not until...
The door slammed open.
I heard the heavy footsteps before I saw him. Alpha Adam.
"You're too late, Adam! You can't save her. She's mine!"
The Delta's voice was mocking, cruel.
But Adam's eyes-bright, fierce-never left mine.
"No one owns her, Delta."
Before I could react, Adam moved like lightning.
The blade gleamed as he slashed across the Delta's throat, ending him in a single, brutal stroke.
"You're free now, Ali. You're mine."
Alpha Adam's voice was steady, commanding. He stepped closer.
"You will be my Luna."
Outside, the pack members murmured in awe.
"Lucky girl!"
"She's the Luna now!"
The winter of my second year with Alpha Adam felt like a lifetime ago.
But that night...
Everything shattered.
Alpha Andrew stood over Adam's lifeless body, his dark eyes gleaming in the moonlight. His pack had obliterated Rivermoon, leaving nothing but destruction. And there I was, trembling.
"Please... don't kill me," I begged, falling to my knees.
Alpha Andrew's gaze was cold, assessing. "Such beauty... but I'm more curious about the prophecy. Is it true?"
I could barely breathe. "Alpha Adam... After he married me, he destroyed two packs in a year. Took their lands, their riches. No one dared challenge him."
A smirk played on Alpha Andrew's lips. "I see. A woman of power, then."
He reached out, tilting my chin up to meet his gaze. "You'll be mine now. And we'll see if this prophecy truly makes you my strength."
It didn't take long. I became Luna again, not through love, but through fate's cruel hand.
The Blackthorn Pack became my new cage.
And what terrified me more than the chains that bound me...
Was the truth.
Every Alpha I had ever belonged to...
Was destined to fall.
