00:02Again.
00:37A nobody from the slums whose wolf had never awakened.
00:43How could someone that pathetic ever deserve to be the fated mate of the pack's twin alphas?
00:47So for three years I had been hidden away in the Grey Sector, a rundown district packed with crippled and
00:52discarded wolves.
00:53I was his dirty little secret.
00:55The third time ended and Damien finally got off me.
00:58I laid there gasping, my whole body trembling.
01:02All I wanted was to close my eyes and sleep.
01:05Then a pair of hands grabbed my waist again.
01:08Turnover.
01:09It was Damien's voice, but the hands were wrong.
01:12The Khalids were in different places.
01:13The ring he always wore on his left hand was missing.
01:15I was too exhausted.
01:17My brain was mush.
01:18I couldn't think straight.
01:19Four, five.
01:20He was rougher than before.
01:22His fingers dug ug into my waist hard.
01:24I thought they would break through the skin.
01:26Which felt better?
01:28He leaned down to my ear.
01:29His voice dropped to a whisper.
01:31There was something cruel and mocking in his tone that I had never heard from Damien.
01:35Hmm?
01:37Answer me.
01:40Six.
01:41Seven.
01:42My mind was coming apart.
01:44Every release ripped away what little strength I had left.
01:47In the haze I turned my head and reached for his mouth.
01:50I wanted a kiss.
01:51Just one.
01:52My lips found his, but my eyes found him first.
01:55Damien's eyes were gray-blue, cold and still.
01:58The eyes staring down at me were blown wide, bloodshot, with a faint gold sheen of something
02:02savage.
02:03Caspin.
02:03Damien's twin brother.
02:04The one the whole pack called the rabid dog behind his back.
02:07My blood went cold.
02:09The scream stuck in my throat because his hand was already on my neck, his thumb resting right
02:14over my windpipe.
02:16Figured it out?
02:17Caspin grinned at me, wearing the same face as Damien.
02:20Too late, little waste.
02:22A small sound came from the far corner of the room.
02:24A wall lamp clicked on.
02:26Damien was sitting in an armchair, fully dressed.
02:28His shirt sleeves rolled up to his forearms, a glass of whiskey in his hand.
02:32He had been here the entire time.
02:34He had watched his brother take his mate, and he looked bored.
02:37Why?
02:38My voice came out wrecked, unrecognizable.
02:41Damien swirled his glass.
02:42Ice clinked against the amber liquid.
02:45You're my fated mate.
02:46Sure.
02:46But so what?
02:47His tone was flat, his expression blank.
02:50You have no wolf, no family.
02:51You can't even shift into a full wolf form.
02:54What makes you think you deserve the Luna title?
02:56The moon goddess played a sick joke on me.
02:58He took a sip.
02:59Tying a waste of space to me as my fated mate.
03:01So I made the best of it.
03:03Your body calms our ferial episodes.
03:05Your blood works as a pain repressor.
03:07Beyond that, you have zero value.
03:10Caspian climbed off me and wiped his hands on the sheet.
03:13Basically, you're a sedative the two of us share.
03:16You think you actually deserve the mate title?
03:20My hands were shaking.
03:21Shaking so badly I couldn't grip the sheets.
03:24Three years.
03:25Three full years.
03:26I had skipped meals to buy herbs for Damien's pain relief tonic.
03:30I had pricked my own fingers with a sewing meal to feed him my blood for the remedy.
03:35I had told myself that if I was good enough, useful enough, he would eventually claim me in front of
03:41the pack.
03:41My mate.
03:43My alpha.
03:44I had believed I was his future Luna.
03:47Turns out, I was never anything more than a tool he was too ashamed to mention.
03:51Next week, Serena will officially become the pack's Luna.
03:54She's from the Blackwell bloodline.
03:57Pure lineage.
03:58Powerful wolf form.
03:59The entire pack already believes she's my mate.
04:01Damien stood and adjusted his cuffs.
04:03He said it the same way he would read a memo.
04:05I won't correct them.
04:07Serena.
04:08A complete stranger was going to wear the Luna crown that should have been mine.
04:12And I wouldn't even be allowed to sit and watch.
04:15Damien walked to the door and glanced back.
04:18You will attend the ceremony.
04:19His eyes swept over my bruised, marked body.
04:22There was no guilt in his gaze.
04:24No disgust.
04:26Nothing at all.
04:28You'll kneel in the last row of the gallery, with the servants.
04:31You'll bow to the new Luna.
04:33And if you make a scene, or if Serena or anyone else finds out you're my mate.
04:38He didn't finish the sentence.
04:40He didn't need to.
04:42Caspi had cut in.
04:43He bent down and patted my sweat-dripped face.
04:46I'll rip your tongue out myself.
04:50Little waste.
04:51The door closed.
04:53The room went dark.
04:56I curled up on the crumpled sheets.
04:58Every part of me felt crushed.
05:00The tears wouldn't come.
05:01Not because it didn't hurt.
05:03Because it hurt too much.
05:05So much that even crying felt pointless.
05:07I was their fated mate.
05:09I was supposed to be this Pax Luna.
05:11And I couldn't tell a single soul.
05:12I didn't know how long I lay on that bed.
05:15My thighs were still sticky.
05:17The air reeked of two alpha's pheromones mixed together.
05:22So thick it made my stomach turn.
05:25My phone buzzing woke me up.
05:27A message from my neighbor in the gray sector.
05:30Five words.
05:32Nana's is not going to make it.
05:34I jumped off the bed barefoot and ran out the door stepping over the mess on the floor.
05:39The shack in the gray sector smelled of blood.
05:41Heavy, rotten blood.
05:43Nana was curled up on her worn out mat.
05:45Dark blood was seeping from the corners of her mouth.
05:47And her nostrils her body was seizing, jerking and sharp violent spasms.
05:51Nana!
05:52I dropped to my knees beside her scrambling to wipe the blood away.
05:55But it kept coming the pack doctor was already packing up his kit ready to leave.
06:00The wolf spide has reached her bones.
06:01He barely glanced at her.
06:03Unless you can get alpha blood for the antidote, she's done.
06:06Alpha blood.
06:08My mate.
06:09My alpha at least in name.
06:11His blood could save her life.
06:12But he wouldn't even acknowledge that I existed.
06:15I closed my eyes and reached for the thin thread of the mate bond between me and Damien.
06:19That bond had worn down to almost nothing after three years of one-hided draining.
06:23But it was still there.
06:24No matter how much he despised me.
06:26A mate bond was the moon goddess Mark.
06:28As long as both of us were alive, it couldn't be broken.
06:31Damien, please.
06:32Just one drop of blood.
06:34Nana is dying.
06:35The link went quiet for two seconds.
06:38Then Serena's sugary voice bled through the mind link.
06:41Damien.
06:42Look at this one.
06:44Don't you think the lease neckline is prettier than the last dress?
06:51And then Damien's voice.
06:54So gentle, I almost didn't recognize it.
06:57They all look beautiful.
07:00You look beautiful in anything, my Luna.
07:02My Luna.
07:03He had never once called me that.
07:05I was his mate.
07:07But that title, those two words, he gave them to a woman who had no faded bond with him at
07:11all.
07:12I screamed through the link.
07:14Damien!
07:15I'm begging you!
07:17Shut up.
07:18That wasn't Darmien.
07:19It was Caspian.
07:20His consciousness slammed into the link with open disgust.
07:23Using the old woman for sympathy again?
07:27Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?
07:29An Alpha's mate living in the Grey Tektor, crying and begging.
07:33If word gets out, how do you think that makes us look?
07:37It's not an excuse.
07:38She's really bleeding out.
07:40Enough, Ivy.
07:41Damien's voice came back.
07:43Colder than the night wind.
07:44Today is Serena's dress fitting.
07:46As the future Luna, every moment of her day matters more than whatever crisis you've invented.
07:52Stop acting crazy.
07:53The link was severed from his end.
07:55The backlash hit me instantly.
07:57Pain exploded inside my skull.
07:59I grabbed my head and collapsed.
08:01My ears ringing so loud I couldn't hear anything else.
08:05By the time I pulled myself off the floor, Nana had stopped seizing.
08:09Her hand was cold.
08:10She was looking at me.
08:11She reached into her shirt with shaking fingers and pulled out an old whistle carved from bone.
08:16She pressed it into my palm.
08:18Then her lips moved.
08:20No sound came out.
08:21Just a shape.
08:22Run.
08:23Her hand dropped.
08:24I held her body as it went stiff.
08:26I couldn't cry.
08:27Not because I didn't want to.
08:29The moment the link had been cut, it felt as though something inside me had been severed too.
08:33My tears along with it.
08:37Outside, the pack loudbeater was playing Serena's recorded message on a loop.
08:41Everyone is welcome to attend my ceremony with Damien.
08:45Next week, I will officially become the pack's Luna.
08:48Luna.
08:50That seat was supposed to be mine.
08:52But I didn't even have the right to fight for it.
08:54Fighting required being acknowledged first, and I was not even allowed to exist.
08:58Some time passed.
08:59The door opened.
09:00Cold air rushed in.
09:02I squinted against it.
09:03A tall figure stood in the doorway, wearing a tattered cloak.
09:07Every nerve in my body went tight.
09:09I shot to my feet and stood in front of Nana's body.
09:12Who are you?
09:13He didn't answer.
09:14He looked at the body on the floor.
09:16Then at me.
09:17Then he walked to the corner, picked up the shovel leaning against the wall.
09:20He lifted Nana's body onto his shoulder and carried her outside.
09:23I think I understood what he was going to do.
09:26He dug a hole in the frozen ground behind the hill, filled it in, set up a plank of wood
09:31as a marker.
09:32Why are you helping me?
09:33I asked.
09:35Six months ago, in the alley behind the market.
09:37You saved my life.
09:39He turned and disappeared Dinto the dark.
09:41I stood in front of the fresh grave, gripping the bone whistle Nana had left me.
09:45The sharp edges of the bone had cut into my palm.
09:48That was when I felt it.
09:49A tiny flutter deep in my belly.
09:51Something stirring in my blood.
09:53Faint and timid.
09:54Nudging against my skin from the inside.
09:56I pressed my dirt-covered hand against my stomach.
09:59Two.
10:00Two faint heartbeats.
10:02I was pregnant.
10:03Carrying my Alpha's children.
10:05Funny, wasn't it?
10:06He refused to claim me as his mate, but he had left his bloodline growing inside me.
10:14In the distance, the main house was blazing with light.
10:18A golden countdown sign for the wedding was glowing on the front porch.
10:23I knew Damienthe and Kasabian would never let these children be born.
10:26A secret mate they treated as a tool found to be carrying their pups.
10:30That wasn't just a scandal that would make the entire pack question Serena's Luna status.
10:35They would kill these babies the same way they had killed every last shred of my dignity without blinking.
10:40I had already lost Nana.
10:43I would not lose them too.
10:45I looked down at the blood-stained bone whistle.
10:48I thought about the cloaked wolf who had just buried Nana for me.
10:52I raised the whistle to my lips and I blew it with everything I had left.
10:58The whistle's sound didn't carry far.
11:01The winter wind swallowed it whole.
11:03Nobody came.
11:05Not that night, at least.
11:07Three days later, the night before the Luna coronation,
11:11two guards dragged me out of my shack in the gray sector
11:18and shoved me into the servants' changing room in the pack's main house.
11:22Put this on.
11:24One of them tossed me a gray linen robe.
11:26Tomorrow you stand in the last row of the gallery, with the servants.
11:29You kneel and bow to our new Luna.
11:31No looking up, no talking, no looking at the Alpha.
11:34I took the rough fabric and said nothing.
11:37What a joke I was this pack's Alpha's fated mate.
11:39The Luna crown should have been on my head.
11:41Instead I would be wearing slave clothes kneeling on the ground
11:44watching a woman with no mate bond sit in my seat.
11:49The door locked behind me I crouched on the floor.
11:52One hand pressed against my belly without thinking three days in those two heartbeats.
11:57Had grown a little stronger, tiny stubborn.
12:00Pushing outward the door swung open.
12:02Not a guard, Serena.
12:04She wore an ivory velvet robe, her hair loose, her feet in satin slippers.
12:09Two personal attendants trailed behind her.
12:13So you're Ivy.
12:14She tilted her head and looked me over.
12:16The wolf-less waist from the gray sector?
12:19She sniffed the air and wrinkled her nose.
12:22You smell disgusting.
12:24I have no idea why Damien even knows someone that pathetic.
12:27Her eyes narrowed, studying me.
12:30I kept my head down.
12:32I didn't dare speak.
12:34If she found out I was Damien's real mate, Casserbyn had promised to rip my tongue out.
12:40Serena didn't push further.
12:42Her gaze dropped to my neck, where Nana's bone whistle hung on a cord.
12:48That's interesting.
12:50She reached out without warning and ripped the cord off my neck.
12:54Give it back!
12:56I jumped to my feet and grabbed for it.
12:59The slap knocked me back to the ground.
13:01Serena shook out her hand, then held the whistle up and studied it.
13:05She smiled.
13:06Do you know Dead Man's Valley?
13:08That ravine behind the hill?
13:10The one full of bones?
13:12I'm going there tomorrow morning for a purification ritual before the coronation.
13:18She spun the whistle between her fingers.
13:23I'll toss this filthy thing down there for you.
13:27Consider it the future Luna cleaning up the trash.
13:31Tonight, you stay on your knees right here.
13:34You don't get up until I say so.
13:35She turned and walked out.
13:38I stayed kneeling on the cold stone floor.
13:41Blood trickled from the corner of my mouth.
13:43The next morning, I ran to Dead Man's Valley.
13:46It was a deep ravine cut into the far side of the hill.
13:48The rock walls on both sides were streaked with old dried blood.
13:51I dug through the rubble at the mouth of the valley,
13:54tearing through loose stones and broken bones.
13:56My fingers were sliced open.
13:57Blood dripped onto the rocks.
13:59I knew you'd come.
14:01Caspian's voice came from behind me, amused, entertained.
14:04Before I could turn around, something cold wrapped around my ankle.
14:06A silver-laced chain.
14:07The second the silver touched my skin white,
14:09smoke hissed up from the contact point.
14:12The burning pain hit me so hard it felt as though someone had pressed a red,
14:16hot iron against my bones.
14:17I screamed and collapsed.
14:19Caspian gripped the other end of the chain,
14:21and dragged me across the rough stone.
14:23Ground 10-15 feet, maybe more the skin on my back.
14:26My arms and my shins shredded against the rocks.
14:29K-silver dust ground into the open wounds.
14:32The pain was so intense I couldn't breathe,
14:34but I kept both hands over my stomach.
14:36I didn't let go once Damien was standing nearby.
14:39He was dressed for the coronation black suit white shirt.
14:42Without a single wrinkle his mate was being dragged in front of him torn apart by silver chains.
14:47And his face showed nothing he could have been watching.
14:50A stray mutt on the roadside.
14:52Ivy.
14:53He spoke his tone was flat official.
14:55From this moment, I formally sever the mate bond between us.
14:59You don't deserve to be my mate.
15:01You don't deserve to be this Pax Luna.
15:03You never did.
15:23Damien's voice came from above me.
15:25Low.
15:26Horsky.
15:27Burning with the heat of an alpha in rut.
15:29I had lost count by now.
15:31Three times?
15:32Maybe?
15:33His arms were braced on either side of my head.
15:36Veins bulging at his temples.
15:38Every thrust hitting me with a force that felt more punishment than pleasure.
15:43I didn't dare make a sound.
15:45The patrol guards outside would hear.
15:47The entire pack would know that the wolf-less, worthless Omega was being used as a painkiller by their alpha.
15:53Nobody knew I was Damien's fated mate.
15:56Or rather, he refused to let anyone know.
15:58A nobody from the slums whose wolf had never awakened.
16:01How could someone that pathetic ever deserve to be the fated mate of the pack's twin alphas?
16:06So for three years, I had been hidden away in the Grey Sector, a rundown district packed with crippled and
16:11discarded wolves.
16:12I was his dirty little secret.
16:14The third time ended and Damien finally got off me.
16:17I laid there gasping, my whole body trembling.
16:21All I wanted was to close my eyes and sleep.
16:23Then a pair of hands grabbed my waist again.
16:27Turnover.
16:28It was Damien's voice.
16:29But the hands were wrong.
16:30The Khalids were in different places.
16:32The ring he always wore on his left hand was missing.
16:34I was too exhausted.
16:36My brain was mush.
16:37I couldn't think straight.
16:38Four, five.
16:39He was rougher than before.
16:41His fingers dug ug into my waist hard.
16:43I thought they would break through the skin.
16:45Which felt better?
16:46He leaned down to my ear.
16:48His voice dropped to a whisper.
16:50There was something cruel and mocking in his tone that I had never heard from Damien.
16:54Hmm?
16:56Answer me.
16:59Six.
17:00Seven.
17:01My mind was coming apart.
17:02Every release ripped away what little strength I had left.
17:06In the haze, I turned my head and reached for his mouth.
17:08I wanted a kiss.
17:10Just one.
17:11My lips found his, but my eyes found him first.
17:14Damien's eyes were gray-blue, cold and still.
17:16The eyes staring down at me were blown wide, bloodshot, with a faint gold sheen of something
17:20savage.
17:21Caspin, Damien's twin brother, the one the whole pack called the rabid dog behind his
17:26back.
17:26My blood went cold.
17:28The scream stuck in my throat because his hand was already on my neck, his thumb resting
17:33right over my windpipe.
17:34Figured it out?
17:35Caspin grinned at me, wearing the same face as Damien.
17:39Too late, little waste.
17:40A small sound came from the far corner of the room.
17:43A wall lamp clicked on.
17:45Damien was sitting in an armchair, fully dressed.
17:47His shirt sleeves rolled up to his forearms, a glass of whiskey in his hand.
17:51He had been here the entire time.
17:53He had watched his brother take his mate, and he looked bored.
17:56Why?
17:57My voice came out wrecked, unrecognizable.
18:00Damien swirled his glass.
18:01Ice clinked against the amber liquid.
18:03You're my fated mate, sure, but so what?
18:06His tone was flat, his expression blank.
18:08You have no wolf, no family.
18:10You can't even shift into a full wolf form.
18:12What makes you think you deserve the Luna title?
18:14The moon goddess played a sick joke on me.
18:16He took a sip.
18:17Tying a waste of space to me as my fated mate.
18:20So I made the best of it.
18:21Your body calms our ferial episodes.
18:24Your blood works as a pain repressor.
18:26Beyond that, you have zero value.
18:29Caspin climbed off me and wiped his hands on the sheet.
18:32Basically, you're a sedative the two of us share.
18:34You think you actually deserve the mate title?
18:38My hands were shaking.
18:40Shaking so badly, I couldn't grip the sheets.
18:43Three years.
18:44Three full years.
18:45I had skipped meals to buy herbs for Damien's pain relief tonic.
18:49I had pricked my own fingers with a sewing meal to feed him my blood for the remedy.
18:54I had told myself that if I was good enough, useful enough, he would eventually claim me in front of
18:59the pack.
19:00My mate.
19:01My alpha.
19:02I had believed I was his future Luna.
19:06Turns out, I was never anything more than a tool he was too ashamed to mention.
19:10Next week, Serena will officially become the pack's Luna.
19:13She's from the Blackwell bloodline.
19:15Pure lineage.
19:16Powerful wolf form.
19:18The entire pack already believes she's my mate.
19:20Damien stood and adjusted his cuffs.
19:22He said it the same way he would read a memo.
19:24I won't correct them.
19:25Serena.
19:27A complete stranger was going to wear the Luna crown that should have been mine, and I wouldn't even be
19:32allowed to sit and watch.
19:34Damien walked to the door and glanced back.
19:36You will attend the ceremony.
19:38His eyes swept over my bruised, marked body.
19:41There was no guilt in his gaze.
19:43No disgust.
19:45Nothing at all.
19:46You'll kneel in the last row of the gallery, with the servants.
19:50You'll bow to the new Luna.
19:51And if you make a scene, or if Serena or anyone else finds out you're my mate.
19:57He didn't finish the sentence.
19:59He didn't need to.
20:01Caspi had cut in.
20:02He bent down and patted my sweat-dripped face.
20:05I'll rip your tongue out myself.
20:08Little waste.
20:10The door closed.
20:11The room went dark.
20:15I curled up on the crumpled sheets.
20:17Every part of me felt crushed.
20:19The tears wouldn't come.
20:20Not because it didn't hurt.
20:22Because it hurt too much.
20:23So much that even crying felt pointless.
20:26I was their fated mate.
20:27I was supposed to be this Pax Luna.
20:29And I couldn't tell a single soul.
20:31I didn't know how long I lay on that bed.
20:34My thighs were still sticky.
20:37The air reeked of two alphas pheromones mixed together.
20:41So thick it made my stomach turn.
20:44My phone buzzing woke me up.
20:46A message from my neighbor in the gray sector.
20:49Five words.
20:50Nana's is not going to make it.
20:53I jumped off the bed barefoot and ran out the door stepping over the mess on the floor.
20:57The shack in the gray sector smelled of blood.
21:00Heavy, rotten blood.
21:01Nana was curled up on her worn out mat.
21:04Dark blood was seeping from the corners of her mouth.
21:06And her nostrils her body was seizing.
21:08Jerking and sharp violent spasms.
21:10Nana!
21:11I dropped to my knees beside her scrambling to wipe the blood away.
21:14But it kept coming.
21:15The pack doctor was already packing up his kit ready to leave.
21:19The wolf spide has reached her bones.
21:20He barely glanced at her.
21:22Unless you can get alpha blood for the antidote, she's done.
21:25Alpha blood.
21:27My mate.
21:28My alpha, at least in name.
21:30His blood could save her life.
21:31But he wouldn't even acknowledge that I existed.
21:34I closed my eyes and reached for the thin thread of the mate bond between me and Damien.
21:38That bond had worn down to almost nothing after three years of one-heighted draining.
21:42But it was still there.
21:43No matter how much he despised me, a mate bond was the moon goddess Mark.
21:47As long as both of us were alive, it couldn't be broken.
21:49Damien, please.
21:51Just one drop of blood.
21:52Nana is dying.
21:54The link went quiet for two seconds.
21:56Then Serena's sugary voice bled through the mind link.
22:00Damien, look at this one.
22:03Don't you think the least neckline is prettier than the last dress?
22:10And then Damien's voice.
22:13So gentle, I almost didn't recognize it.
22:16They all look beautiful.
22:19You look beautiful in anything, my Luna.
22:21My Luna.
22:22He had never once called me that.
22:24I was his mate.
22:26But that title, those two words, he gave them to a woman who had no fated bond with him at
22:30all.
22:30I screamed through the link.
22:32Damien!
22:34I'm begging you!
22:36Shut up.
22:37That wasn't Damien.
22:38It was Caspian.
22:39His consciousness slammed into the link with open disgust.
22:41Using the old woman for sympathy again?
22:46Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?
22:48An alpha's mate living in the grey tech tour, crying and begging.
22:52If word gets out, how do you think that makes us look?
22:55It's not an excuse.
22:57She's really bleeding out.
22:59Enough, Ivy.
23:00Damien's voice came back.
23:01Colder than the night wind.
23:03Today is Serena's dress fitting.
23:05As the future Luna, every moment of her day matters more than whatever crisis you've invented.
23:10Stop acting crazy.
23:12The link was severed from his end.
23:14The backlash hit me instantly.
23:16Pain exploded inside my skull.
23:18I grabbed my head and collapsed.
23:20My ears ringing so loud I couldn't hear anything else.
23:23By the time I pulled myself off the floor, Nana had stopped seizing.
23:27Her hand was cold.
23:29She was looking at me.
23:30She reached into her shirt with shaking fingers and pulled out an old whistle carved from bone.
23:35She pressed it into my palm.
23:37Then her lips moved.
23:38No sound came out.
23:40Just a shape.
23:41Run.
23:42Her hand dropped.
23:43I held her body as it went stiff.
23:45I couldn't cry.
23:46Not because I didn't want to.
23:47The moment the link had been cut, it felt as though something inside me had been severed too.
23:52My tears along with it.
23:56Outside, the pack loudbeater was playing Serena's recorded message on a loop.
24:00Everyone is welcome to attend my ceremony with Damien.
24:04Next week, I will officially become the pack's Luna.
24:07Luna.
24:08That seat was supposed to be mine, but I didn't even have the right to fight for it.
24:13Fighting required being acknowledged first, and I was not even allowed to exist.
24:17Some time passed.
24:18The door opened.
24:19Cold air rushed in.
24:21I squinted against it.
24:22A tall figure stood in the doorway, wearing a tattered cloak.
24:26Every nerve in my body went tight.
24:28I shot to my feet and stood in front of Nana's body.
24:31Who are you?
24:32He didn't answer.
24:33He looked at the body on the floor.
24:34Then at me.
24:35Then he walked to the corner, picked up the shovel leaning against the wall.
24:39He lifted Nana's body onto his shoulder and carried her outside.
24:42I think I understood what he was going to do.
24:44He dug a hole in the frozen ground behind the hill, filled it in, set up a plank of
24:49wood as a marker.
24:51Why are you helping me?
24:52I asked.
24:54Six months ago, in the alley behind the market, you saved my life.
24:57He turned and disappeared into the dark.
25:00I stood in front of the fresh grave, gripping the bone whistle Nana had left me.
25:04The sharp edges of the bone had cut into my palm.
25:06That was when I felt it.
25:08A tiny flutter deep in my belly.
25:10Something stirring in my blood.
25:12Faint and timid.
25:13Nudging against my skin from the inside.
25:15I pressed my dirt-covered hand against my stomach.
25:18Two.
25:19Two faint heartbeats.
25:20I was pregnant.
25:22Carrying my Alpha's children.
25:24Funny, wasn't it?
25:25He refused to claim me as his mate, but he had left his bloodline growing inside me.
25:33In the distance, the main house was blazing with light.
25:37A golden countdown sign for the wedding was glowing on the front porch.
25:41I knew Damienthe and Cassibian would never let these children be born.
25:45A secret mate they treated as a tool found to be carrying their pups.
25:49That wasn't just a scandal that would make the entire pack question Serena's Luna status.
25:53They would kill these babies the same way they had killed every last shred of my dignity.
25:58Without blinking.
25:59I had already lost Nana.
26:02I would not lose them too.
26:03I looked down at the blood-stained bone whistle.
26:07I thought about the cloaked wolf who had just buried Nana for me.
26:10I raised the whistle to my lips and I blew it with everything I had left.
26:17The whistle's sound didn't carry far.
26:20The winter wind swallowed it whole.
26:22Nobody came.
26:23Not that night, at least.
26:26Three days later, the night before the Luna coronation,
26:30two guards dragged me out of my shack in the Grey Sector
26:37and shoved me into the servants' changing room in the pack's main house.
26:41Put this on.
26:42One of them tossed me a grey linen robe.
26:45Tomorrow you stand in the last row of the gallery, with the servants.
26:48You kneel and bow to our new Luna.
26:50No looking up, no talking, no looking at the Alpha.
26:53I took the rough fabric and said nothing.
26:55What a joke I was this Pax Alpha's fated mate.
26:58The Luna crown should have been on my head.
27:00Instead I would be wearing slave clothes,
27:02kneeling on the ground watching a woman with no mate bond sit in my seat.
27:07The door locked behind me, I crouched on the floor.
27:11One hand pressed against my belly without thinking three days in those two heartbeats.
27:16Had grown a little stronger, tiny stubborn.
27:18Pushing outward, the door swung open.
27:21Not a guard, Serena.
27:22She wore an ivory velvet robe, her hair loose, her feet in satin slippers.
27:28Two personal attendants trailed behind her.
27:31So you're Ivy.
27:33She tilted her head and looked me over.
27:35The wolf-less waist from the Grey Sector?
27:38She sniffed the air and wrinkled her nose.
27:40You smell disgusting.
27:42I have no idea why Damien even knows someone that pathetic.
27:46Her eyes narrowed, studying me.
27:49I kept my head down.
27:51I didn't dare speak.
27:53If she found out I was Damien's real mate,
27:56Casserbyn had promised to rip my tongue out.
27:59Serena didn't push further.
28:01Her gaze dropped to my neck,
28:03where Nana's bone whistle hung on a cord.
28:06That's interesting.
28:09She reached out without warning and ripped the cord off my neck.
28:13Give it back!
28:15I jumped to my feet and grabbed for it.
28:17The slap knocked me back to the ground.
28:20Serena shook out her hand,
28:21then held the whistle up and studied it.
28:23She smiled.
28:24Do you know Dead Man's Valley?
28:26That ravine behind the hill?
28:28The one full of bones?
28:31I'm going there tomorrow morning for a purification ritual,
28:35before the coronation.
28:37She spun the whistle between her fingers.
28:42I'll toss this filthy thing down there for you.
28:46Consider it the future Luna cleaning up the trash.
28:49Tonight, you stay on your knees right here.
28:52You don't get up until I say so.
28:54She turned and walked out.
28:57I stayed kneeling on the cold stone floor.
29:00Blood trickled from the corner of my mouth.
29:02The next morning, I ran to Dead Man's Valley.
29:04It was a deep ravine cut into the far side of the hill.
29:07The rock walls on both sides were streaked with old dried blood.
29:10I dug through the rubble at the mouth of the valley,
29:12tearing through loose stones and broken bones.
29:14My fingers were sliced open.
29:16Blood dripped onto the rocks.
29:17I knew you'd come.
29:19Caspian's voice came from behind me,
29:21amused, entertained.
29:22Before I could turn around,
29:23something cold wrapped around my ankle.
29:25A silver-laced chain.
29:26The second the silver touched my skin white,
29:28smoke hissed up from the contact point.
29:30The burning pain hit me so hard
29:32it felt as though someone had pressed a red,
29:34hot iron against my bones.
29:36I screamed and collapsed.
29:38Caspian gripped the other end of the chain
29:40and dragged me across the rough stone.
29:42Ground 10-15 feet,
29:43maybe more the skin on my back.
29:45My arms and my shins shredded against the rocks.
29:48K-silver dust ground into the open wounds.
29:51The pain was so intense I couldn't breathe,
29:53but I kept both hands over my stomach.
29:55I didn't let go once Damien was standing nearby.
29:58He was dressed for the coronation black suit,
30:00white shirt,
30:01without a single wrinkle his mate
30:02was being dragged in front of him
30:04torn apart by silver chains.
30:06And his face showed nothing
30:07he could have been watching,
30:08a stray mutt on the roadside.
30:11Ivy.
30:11He spoke his tone was flat official.
30:14From this moment,
30:15I formally sever the mate bond between us.
30:18You don't deserve to be my mate.
30:20You don't deserve to be this Pax Luna.
30:22You never did.
30:41Damien's voice came from above me.
30:44Low.
30:45Horsky.
30:45Burning with the heat of an alpha in rut.
30:48I had lost count by now.
30:50Three times?
30:51Maybe?
30:52His arms were braced on either side of my head,
30:55veins bulging at his temples.
30:56Every thrust hitting me with a force
30:59that felt more punishment than pleasure.
31:01I didn't dare make a sound.
31:03The patrol guards outside would hear.
31:06The entire pack would know
31:07that the wolfless, worthless Omega
31:09was being used as a painkiller by their alpha.
31:12Nobody knew I was Damien's fated mate.
31:14Or rather,
31:15he refused to let anyone know.
31:17A nobody from the slums
31:18whose wolf had never awakened.
31:20How could someone that pathetic
31:21ever deserve to be the fated mate
31:23of the pack's twin alphas?
31:24So for three years,
31:26I had been hidden away in the Grey Sector,
31:27a run-down district
31:28packed with crippled and discarded wolves.
31:30I was his dirty little secret.
31:32The third time ended
31:33and Damien finally got off me.
31:36I laid there gasping,
31:37my whole body trembling.
31:39All I wanted was to close my eyes and sleep.
31:42Then a pair of hands grabbed my waist again.
31:46Turn over.
31:47It was Damien's voice.
31:48But the hands were wrong.
31:49The Khalids were in different places.
31:51The ring he always wore on his left hand
31:52was missing.
31:53I was too exhausted.
31:54My brain was mush.
31:55I couldn't think straight.
31:56Four, five.
31:58He was rougher than before.
31:59His fingers dug ug into my waist hard.
32:02I thought they would break through the skin.
32:04Which felt better?
32:05He leaned down to my ear.
32:07His voice dropped to a whisper.
32:09There was something cruel and mocking in his tone
32:11that I had never heard from Damien.
32:13Hmm?
32:14Answer me.
32:18Six, seven.
32:19My mind was coming apart.
32:21Every release ripped away
32:23what little strength I had left.
32:24In the haze,
32:25I turned my head and reached for his mouth.
32:27I wanted a kiss.
32:29Just one.
32:30My lips found his,
32:31but my eyes found him first.
32:33Damien's eyes were gray-blue,
32:34cold and still.
32:35The eyes staring down at me
32:36were blown wide,
32:37bloodshot,
32:38with a faint gold sheen
32:39of something savage.
32:40Caspen,
32:41Damien's twin brother,
32:42the one the whole pack
32:43called the rabid dog behind his back.
32:45My blood went cold.
32:47The scream stuck in my throat
32:48because his hand was already on my neck,
32:51his thumb resting right over my windpipe.
32:53Figured it out?
32:54Caspen grinned at me,
32:56wearing the same face as Damien.
32:57Too late, little waste.
32:59A small sound came from the far corner of the room.
33:02A wall lamp clicked on.
33:03Damien was sitting in an armchair,
33:05fully dressed,
33:06his shirt sleeves rolled up to his forearms,
33:08a glass of whiskey in his hand.
33:10He had been here the entire time.
33:11He had watched his brother take his mate,
33:13and he looked bored.
33:15Why?
33:15My voice came out wrecked,
33:18unrecognizable.
33:18Damien swirled his glass.
33:20Ice clinked against the amber liquid.
33:22You're my fated mate,
33:23sure,
33:24but so what?
33:25His tone was flat,
33:26his expression blank.
33:27You have no wolf,
33:28no family.
33:29You can't even shift into a full wolf form.
33:31What makes you think you deserve the Luna title?
33:33The moon goddess played a sick joke on me.
33:35He took a sip,
33:36tying a waste of space to me as my fated mate.
33:39So I made the best of it.
33:40Your body calms our ferial episodes.
33:43Your blood works as a pain repressor.
33:45Beyond that,
33:46you have zero value.
33:48Caspin climbed off me and wiped his hands on the sheet.
33:51Basically,
33:51you're a sedative the two of us share.
33:53You think you actually deserve the mate title?
33:57My hands were shaking,
33:59shaking so badly I couldn't grip the sheets.
34:01Three years,
34:03three full years,
34:04I had skipped meals to buy herbs for Damien's pain relief tonic.
34:08I had pricked my own fingers with a sewing meal
34:10to feed him my blood for the remedy.
34:12I had told myself that if I was good enough,
34:15useful enough,
34:16he would eventually claim me in front of the pack.
34:19My mate.
34:20My alpha.
34:21I had believed I was his future Luna.
34:24Turns out,
34:25I was never anything more than a tool
34:27he was too ashamed to mention.
34:29Next week,
34:30Serena will officially become the pack's Luna.
34:32She's from the Blackwell bloodline.
34:34Pure lineage.
34:35Powerful wolf form.
34:36The entire pack already believes she's my mate.
34:39Damien stood and adjusted his cuffs.
34:41He said it the same way he would read a memo.
34:43I won't correct them.
34:44Serena.
34:45A complete stranger was going to wear the Luna crown
34:48that should have been mine,
34:50and I wouldn't even be allowed to sit and watch.
34:53Damien walked to the door and glanced back.
34:55You will attend the ceremony.
34:57His eyes swept over my bruised, marked body.
35:00There was no guilt in his gaze.
35:01No disgust.
35:03Nothing at all.
35:05You'll kneel in the last row of the gallery,
35:07with the servants.
35:08You'll bow to the new Luna.
35:10And if you make a scene,
35:12or if Serena or anyone else finds out you're my mate...
35:15He didn't finish the sentence.
35:17He didn't need to.
35:19Caspi had cut in.
35:21He bent down and patted my sweat-dripped face.
35:24I'll rip your tongue out myself.
35:27Little waste.
35:28The door closed.
35:30The room went dark.
35:33I curled up on the crumpled sheets.
35:36Every part of me felt crushed.
35:38The tears wouldn't come.
35:39Not because it didn't hurt.
35:41Because it hurt too much.
35:42So much that even crying felt pointless.
35:44I was their fated mate.
35:46I was supposed to be this Pax Luna.
35:48And I couldn't tell a single soul.
35:50I didn't know how long I lay on that bed.
35:53My thighs were still sticky.
35:55The air reeked of two alpha's pheromones mixed together.
35:59So thick it made my stomach turn.
36:03My phone buzzing woke me up.
36:05A message from my neighbor in the gray sector.
36:07Five words.
36:09Nana's is not going to make it.
36:11I jumped off the bed barefoot and ran out the door,
36:14stepping over the mess on the floor.
36:16The shack in the gray sector smelled of blood.
36:19Heavy, rotten blood.
36:20Nana was curled up on her worn-out mat.
36:22Dark blood was seeping from the corners of her mouth.
36:25And her nostrils, her body was seizing,
36:27jerking and sharp violent spasms.
36:29Nana!
36:29I dropped to my knees beside her,
36:31scrambling to wipe the blood away.
36:33But it kept coming.
36:34The pack doctor was already packing up his kit,
36:36ready to leave.
36:37The wolfspide has reached her bones.
36:39He barely glanced at her.
36:41Unless you can get alpha blood for the antidote,
36:43she's done.
36:44Alpha blood.
36:45My mate.
36:47My alpha, at least in name.
36:48His blood could save her life.
36:50But he wouldn't even acknowledge that I existed.
36:52I closed my eyes and reached for the thin thread of the mate bond between me and Damien.
36:57That bond had worn down to almost nothing after three years of one-hided draining.
37:00But it was still there, no matter how much he despised me.
37:03A mate bond was the moon goddess Mark.
37:06As long as both of us were alive, it couldn't be broken.
37:08Damien, please.
37:09Just one drop of blood.
37:11Nana is dying.
37:13The link went quiet for two seconds.
37:15Then Serena's sugary voice bled through the mind link.
37:18Damien, look at this one.
37:21Don't you think the lease neckline is prettier than the last dress?
37:28And then Damien's voice.
37:31So gentle, I almost didn't recognize it.
37:35They all look beautiful.
37:37You look beautiful in anything, my Luna.
37:40My Luna.
37:41He had never once called me that.
37:43I was his mate.
37:44But that title, those two words, he gave them to a woman who had no fated bond with him at
37:49all.
37:49I screamed through the link.
37:51Damien!
37:53I'm begging you!
37:55Shut up.
37:56That wasn't Damien.
37:57It was Caspian.
37:57His consciousness slammed into the link with open disgust.
38:01Using the old woman for sympathy again?
38:04Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?
38:06An alpha's mate living in the grey tech tour, crying and begging.
38:11If word gets out, how do you think that makes us look?
38:14It's not an excuse.
38:16She's really bleeding out.
38:17Enough, Ivy.
38:19Damien's voice came back.
38:20Colder than the night wind.
38:22Today is Serena's dress fitting.
38:24As the future Luna, every moment of her day matters more than whatever crisis you've invented.
38:29Stop acting crazy.
38:30The link was severed from his end.
38:33The backlash hit me instantly.
38:35Pain exploded inside my skull.
38:37I grabbed my head and collapsed.
38:39My ears ringing so loud I couldn't hear anything else.
38:42By the time I pulled myself off the floor, Nana had stopped seizing.
38:46Her hand was cold.
38:48She was looking at me.
38:49She reached into her shirt with shaking fingers and pulled out an old whistle carved from bone.
38:54She pressed it into my palm.
38:56Then her lips moved.
38:57No sound came out.
38:58Just a shape.
39:00Run.
39:00Her hand dropped.
39:02I held her body as it went stiff.
39:03I couldn't cry.
39:04Not because I didn't want to.
39:06The moment the link had been cut, it felt as though something inside me had been severed too.
39:11My tears along with it.
39:14Outside, the pack loudbeater was playing Serena's recorded message on a loop.
39:19Everyone is welcome to attend my ceremony with Damien.
39:23Next week, I will officially become the pack's Luna.
39:26Luna.
39:27That seat was supposed to be mine.
39:29But I didn't even have the right to fight for it.
39:31Fighting required being acknowledged first, and I was not even allowed to exist.
39:36Some time passed.
39:37The door opened.
39:38Cold air rushed in.
39:39I squinted against it.
39:41A tall figure stood in the doorway, wearing a tattered cloak.
39:44Every nerve in my body went tight.
39:46I shot to my feet and stood in front of Nana's body.
39:50Who are you?
39:50He didn't answer.
39:51He looked at the body on the floor.
39:53Then at me.
39:54Then he walked to the corner, picked up the shovel leaning against the wall.
39:57He lifted Nana's body onto his shoulder and carried her outside.
40:01I think I understood what he was going to do.
40:03He dug a hole in the frozen ground behind the hill, filled it in, set up a plank of wood
40:08as a marker.
40:09Why are you helping me?
40:11I asked.
40:12Six months ago, in the alley behind the market, you saved my life.
40:16He turned and disappeared into the dark.
40:18I stood in front of the fresh grave, gripping the bone whistle Nana had left me.
40:23The sharp edges of the bone had cut into my palm.
40:25That was when I felt it.
40:27A tiny flutter deep in my belly.
40:29Something stirring in my blood.
40:31Faint and timid.
40:32Nudging against my skin from the inside.
40:34I pressed my dirt-covered hand against my stomach.
40:37Two.
40:37Two faint heartbeats.
40:39I was pregnant.
40:41Carrying my Alpha's children.
40:43Funny, wasn't it?
40:44He refused to claim me as his mate.
40:46But he had left his bloodline growing inside me.
40:51In the distance, the main house was blazing with light.
40:56A golden countdown sign for the wedding was glowing on the front porch.
41:00I knew Damienthe and Kasabian would never let these children be born.
41:04A secret mate they treated as a tool found to be carrying their pups.
41:08That wasn't just a scandal that would make the entire pack question Serena's Luna status.
41:12They would kill these babies the same way they had killed every last shred of my dignity without blinking.
41:18I had already lost Nana.
41:20I would not lose them too.
41:22I looked down at the blood-stained bone whistle.
41:26I thought about the cloaked wolf who had just buried Nana for me.
41:29I raised the whistle to my lips and I blew it with everything I had left.
41:36The whistle's sound didn't carry far.
41:38The winter wind swallowed it whole.
41:41Nobody came.
41:42Not that night, at least.
41:44Three days later, the night before the Luna coronation,
41:48two guards dragged me out of my shack in the Grey Sector
41:55and shoved me into the servants' changing room in the pack's main house.
41:59Put this on.
42:01One of them tossed me a grey linen robe.
42:04Tomorrow you stand in the last row of the gallery, with the servants.
42:07You kneel and bow to our new Luna.
42:09No looking up, no talking, no looking at the Alpha.
42:12I took the rough fabric and said nothing.
42:14What a joke I was this pack's Alpha's fated mate.
42:17The Luna crown should have been on my head.
42:18Instead I would be wearing slave clothes kneeling on the ground
42:21watching a woman with no mate bond sit in my seat.
42:26The door locked behind me I crouched on the floor.
42:29One hand pressed against my belly without thinking three days in those two heartbeats.
42:34Had grown a little stronger tiny stubborn.
42:37Pushing outward the door swung open.
42:39Not a guard Serena.
42:41She wore an ivory velvet robe, her hair loose, her feet in satin slippers.
42:46Two personal attendants trailed behind her.
42:50So you're Ivy.
42:52She tilted her head and looked me over.
42:54The wolf-less waist from the grey sector?
42:56She sniffed the air and wrinkled her nose.
42:59You smell disgusting.
43:01I have no idea why Damien even knows someone that pathetic.
43:05Her eyes narrowed, studying me.
43:08I kept my head down.
43:09I didn't dare speak.
43:12If she found out I was Damien's real mate, Casserbyn had promised to rip my tongue out.
43:18Serena didn't push further.
43:19Her gaze dropped to my neck, where Nana's bone whistle hung on a cord.
43:25That's interesting.
43:28She reached out without warning and ripped the cord off my neck.
43:32Give it back!
43:33I jumped to my feet and grabbed for it.
43:36The slap knocked me back to the ground.
43:39Serena shook out her hand, then held the whistle up and studied it.
43:42She smiled.
43:43Do you know Dead Man's Valley?
43:45That ravine behind the hill?
43:47The one full of bones?
43:50I'm going there tomorrow morning for a purification ritual before the coronation.
43:56She spun the whistle between her fingers.
44:01I'll toss this filthy thing down there for you.
44:05Consider it the future Luna cleaning up the trash.
44:08Tonight, you stay on your knees right here.
44:11You don't get up until I say so.
44:13She turned and walked out.
44:15I stayed kneeling on the cold stone floor.
44:18Blood trickled from the corner of my mouth.
44:21The next morning, I ran to Dead Man's Valley.
44:23It was a deep ravine cut into the far side of the hill.
44:26The rock walls on both sides were streaked with old, dried blood.
44:29I dug through the rubble at the mouth of the valley,
44:31tearing through loose stones and broken bones.
44:33My fingers were sliced open.
44:35Blood dripped onto the rocks.
44:36I knew you'd come.
44:38Caspian's voice came from behind me, amused, entertained.
44:41Before I could turn around, something cold wrapped around my ankle.
44:44A silver-laced chain.
44:45The second the silver touched my skin white, smoke hissed up from the contact point.
44:49The burning pain hit me so hard it felt as though someone had pressed a red,
44:53hot iron against my bones I screamed and collapsed.
44:56Caspian gripped the other end of the chain, and dragged me across the rough stone.
45:00Ground 10-15 feet, maybe more the skin on my back.
45:04My arms and my shins shredded against the rocks.
45:07K-silver dust ground into the open wounds.
45:09The pain was so intense I couldn't breathe, but I kept both hands over my stomach.
45:14I didn't let go once Damien was standing nearby.
45:17He was dressed for the coronation black suit white shirt.
45:19Without a single wrinkle his mate was being dragged in front of him torn apart by silver chains.
45:24And his face showed nothing he could have been watching.
45:27A stray mutt on the roadside.
45:30Ivy.
45:30He spoke his tone was flat official.
45:33From this moment, I formally sever the mate bond between us.
45:37You don't deserve to be my mate.
45:39You don't deserve to be this Pax Luna.
45:41You never did.
45:49I or alguien's have to be side of the lake.
45:55He's very old.
45:55I was surprised.
45:55You don't deserve to be the f1000 feet.
