Selene thought she had found true love when Alpha Leo claimed her as his Luna—until he coldly rejected her, leaving her heartbroken and pregnant. Five years later, Selene returns as a skilled doctor to save his pack from a deadly disease, only to face the man who destroyed her… and a shocking truth: their bond was never really broken.
Now, with enemies closing in and their daughter’s hidden power awakening, Selene must decide—can she trust Leo again, or will his past betrayal destroy them for good? The pack’s survival hangs in the balance… and so does her heart.
Chapter 1: The Shattered Bond
“You’re two weeks pregnant, Luna Selene.”
The words hit me like a bolt of lightning. My hands trembled as I pressed them against my stomach, tears blurring my vision. Pregnant. After three long years of waiting, of enduring whispers behind my back, of praying to the Moon Goddess for this miracle—it was finally happening.
A shaky smile touched my lips. Leo will be so happy.
But as I left the pack clinic, my excitement dimmed. Leo wasn’t answering my calls. Again.
I pushed the worry aside. Maybe he was in a meeting. Maybe his phone died.
So I did what I always did—I cooked his favorite meal, set the table, and waited.
And waited.
And waited.
Hours passed. The food grew cold. The candles burned out. My eyelids grew heavy, and before I knew it, I had fallen asleep on the couch.
A loud slam jolted me awake.
The door crashed open, and the scent of whiskey and anger filled the air. Leo stood in the doorway, his golden eyes blazing with fury.
“Leo?” I whispered, my voice trembling.
His lip curled in disgust. “You tricked me.”
My heart stopped. “W-What?”
“I want a divorce.”
The words were a knife to my chest. I staggered back, my knees buckling. “Why? What did I do?”
He didn’t answer. He just stared at me like I was something vile, something worthless.
Desperate, I dropped to my knees, my hands clutching his shirt. “Please, Leo, talk to me! I don’t understand!”
His voice was ice. “You were never my true mate. You were just a placeholder.”
The world spun. Placeholder?
Then, like a drowning woman gasping for air, I blurted out the one thing I thought could save us. “I’m pregnant!”
For a second, I saw it—a flicker of shock in his eyes. But then his expression hardened.
“Get rid of it.”
The words shattered me.
“No!” I sobbed. “This is your child! Our heir!”
His next words were worse than a death sentence.
“I, Alpha Leo Knight, reject you, Selene Grace, as my mate and Luna. You are no longer welcome in my pack.”
CRACK.
The bond between us snapped like a bone breaking. Agony ripped through me, my wolf howling in despair. I collapsed, my body convulsing as the pain tore me apart.
Through the haze of tears, I saw him turn away.
“Leo… please…” I choked out.
But he didn’t look back.
The last thing I felt before darkness swallowed me was the cold floor beneath my cheek—and the crushing weight of betrayal.
