“I, Alpha Alexander of Black moon Pack, reject Vanessa as my mate and wife. A weak wolfless woman shouldn’t be the Luna of this pack, right? So I chose her sister, Mira, as my fated mate.”

Those were the words that shattered her.

In front of the entire pack, Vanessa was rejected, stripped of her title, and replaced by her own sister while her best friend supported her sister. The man she was forced to marry… the man she grew to love… humiliated her with a smile.

Her sister smirked. Her best friend watched in excitement. They all knew her secret—Vanessa had never shifted. And now, they used it to destroy her.

Thrown out like a traitor, she was banished and left to die in the forest.

But death didn’t come. Alpha Gerald did.

He saved her from rogue wolves. He gave her shelter. But in return, he asked for something she wasn’t ready to give—her truth. Vanessa promised herself never to trust again, but Gerald wasn’t like the others. He didn’t see her as weak. He saw something no one else ever did.

Then his fated mate returned… and Vanessa’s secret was exposed once again.

Broken. Betrayed. She ran—this time, not from fear, but toward answers. Toward power. Toward the truth about who she really was.

She carries the blood of something ancient. And her fate is tied to three Alphas—one who betrayed her, one who saved her, and one who’s yet to come.

They want her loyalty. Her love. Her life.

But she’s no longer the wolfless girl they rejected.

She’s the storm they never saw coming.

I feel like garbage. Complete and total garbage.


Been walking for three days straight. No food. Little bit of water from puddles when I could find it. Clothes are torn up. Boots got holes in them. But none of that matters compared to what's eating me up inside.


The memories came back two nights ago. All of them. Every single thing I did while the Void Wolf had its claws in my brain.


I betrayed her. Vanessa. The only person who ever gave a damn about me. Led her enemies right to her. Almost got her killed. And for what? Because some shadow monster whispered pretty lies in my head.


The ruins are ahead now. Can see the broken towers through the trees. Place looks even worse than last time. More collapsed walls. More dead ground where nothing grows. Like the whole area is sick.


But she's here. I can feel it. That warm presence that always meant safety. Home. The closest thing to family I ever had.
