Chapter 1

My mother was gravely ill, and as an Omega werewolf, I had no choice but to lower myself and beg my fiancé, Alexander, the heir of the Silver Moon Pack, to help heal her.

I never expected that he would turn around and perform a mating ceremony with Sarah from the Red Mountain Pack.

In my most desperate moment, Lucas, the Alpha of the Black Forest Pack, who had grown up with Sarah, knelt before me and proposed. He promised to use his pack's most precious Moonlight Crystal to save my mother.

Without hesitation, I agreed and hurriedly arranged for the healing ritual to take place on the night of the full moon.

But in the end, she still didn’t survive the night.

Devastated by grief, Alpha Lucas personally handled my mother’s farewell ceremony.

The wedding went on as planned, and I became the Luna of the Black Forest Pack.

Five years later, I accidentally overheard a conversation between Alpha Lucas and the pack’s shaman.

"Alpha Lucas, you concealed the truth from Emma and transferred her mother’s life force to Sarah’s mother. Didn’t you consider what would happen if she ever found out? Would you really risk your very soul for Sarah?"

"If I must gamble, then so be it. I’m willing to do anything for her."

"It was just one life, and I’ve already spent these years compensating and protecting Emma. That should be enough."

Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.

Only then did I realize that my carefully maintained marriage had been a meticulously crafted deception from the start.

The only woman he had ever truly loved was Sarah.

Since that was the case, I chose to let go.
