Decoded Hearts: The Luna's Reboot
For five years, Nora Ashford wore frumpy cardigans, thick glasses, and kept her head down as Luna of the Crescent Moon Pack. She loved a man who grimaced when she touched him. She raised a daughter who learned to echo Daddy's disdain. She made herself small, plain, forgettable—because her husband, Alpha Killian Ashford, told her a "proper Luna" didn't draw attention.
What Killian didn't know: his mousy, awkward wife was Phantom_N0va, the world's most wanted hacker. The tech ghost that governments couldn't catch. The digital goddess that billionaires paid millions to consult. Nora hid her brilliance behind dowdy clothes and fake stammers because she believed love meant sacrifice.
She believed wrong.
The night she finds Killian in bed with his "pack advisor" Vanessa—the woman who's been slowly poisoning four-year-old Mira against her own mother—Nora's illusions shatter like code crashing. Worse, when Mira walks in and sees them, the little girl doesn't cry for Mommy. She runs to Vanessa.
"Don't be upset, Nora," Vanessa purrs, naked and shameless. "Mira knows who really loves her. A real mother. Not some… charity case Killian was forced to marry."
Killian doesn't even have the decency to look guilty. "You're overreacting. Go back to your room."
That's when Nora stops breaking and starts breaking free.
She vanishes that night—not just from the pack, but from existence itself. Three years of silence. Three years of transformation. Three years of becoming the woman she always was beneath the disguise.
When Nora returns to Silverpine City, no one recognizes her. Gone are the glasses, the shapeless clothes, the timid posture. In their place: a goddess with flowing auburn hair, a body that stops traffic, and the cold confidence of someone who's conquered worlds—digital and otherwise. She's the mystery CEO behind NovaTech, the startup that's disrupting every industry. She's the consultant that alpha billionaires beg to meet.
And she's back for one reason: to reclaim what's hers.
But Killian Ashford has finally woken up. His perfect Vanessa showed her true colors the moment she became Luna—cruel, greedy, abusive. His daughter cries every night for the mother he drove away. His pack is crumbling. His wolf is dying from regret.
When he sees the stunning woman at the tech conference—the one every alpha is circling—his wolf recognizes her scent before his brain does.
That's his mate. His Nora. Impossible.
Too bad for Killian, Nora isn't his anything anymore. She's got a brilliant tech empire, a pack of loyal friends who actually value her, and most importantly—Darius Kane, the billionaire Alpha who's spent two years proving that real men worship queens, not dim them.
Killian wants her back. He needs her back. He'll grovel, fight, destroy anyone in his path.
But Nora Ashford learned the hardest lesson: you can't debug a man who's fundamentally broken. Some code can't be rewritten. Some hearts can't be trusted twice.
The only question left is: can she trust herself to love again?
