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