“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.

# Chapter 84 – The Choice of Light (Vanessa's POV)


Pain shoots through my entire body like lightning. Every breath feels like swallowing broken glass. Blood pools beneath me on the cold stone floor of the ancient chamber.


I'm dying. I can feel my life slipping away with each heartbeat.


Damien kneels beside me, his hands pressed against the worst of my wounds. His face is pale with panic. "Stay with me, Vanessa. Just hold on."


Kieran stands over us both, his expression torn between rage and despair. "This is all my fault. I should have been faster. I should have protected you better."


I want to tell them it's not their fault. Want to explain that everything happened exactly as it was supposed to. But speaking hurts too much.


The artifacts pulse around us. Three ancient relics that have been dormant for centuries. Now they glow with increasing intensity, responding to something inside me. Something I'm only just beginning to understand.
