The Fake Luna Reborn: Burning in the Hell She Stole from Me
Fuzzy Melissa · Completed · 7.8k Words
Introduction
Ten years later, on the eve of my coronation as Luna, Delphine, driven mad by jealousy, infiltrated the temple and set it ablaze with black fire.
She clutched my throat and dragged me into death with her, all because she believed I had stolen the life that should have been hers.
She thought I had received all the Moon Goddess's favor.
She never knew that remaining in the wealthy Golden Moon territory had been nothing but a living nightmare.
Our mother, desperate to replenish the family treasury she had squandered, locked me in a dungeon and drained my blood for ten years—
She treated me like a living blood bank, planning to hand me over to a six-hundred-year-old vampire lord as payment for her debts.
So when the black fire consumed us, all I felt as I looked into Delphine's face twisted by jealousy was absolute relief.
When I opened my eyes again, we had both returned to the Blood Moon Choosing Ceremony at the age of eighteen.
This time, before the Elders' Council could even announce the contracts, Delphine lunged madly toward our mother on the throne.
Seeing the greed and ecstasy she could barely contain in her eyes, I said nothing. I simply turned and walked toward my father, who stood in the corner of the hall, leaning on an iron crutch.
She thought she had finally seized a crown.
She had no idea that she had willingly thrown herself into a bottomless abyss filled with her own blood.
Chapter 1
In my previous life, I was the heir adored by the entire Golden Moon Pack. My sister, Delphine, was cast out with our disgraced father, left to struggle for survival in the frozen wastelands of the North.
Ten years later, on the eve of my coronation as Luna, Delphine, driven mad by jealousy, infiltrated the temple and set it ablaze with black fire.
She clutched my throat and dragged me into death with her, all because she believed I had stolen the life that should have been hers.
She thought I had received all the Moon Goddess's favor.
She never knew that remaining in the wealthy Golden Moon territory had been nothing but a living nightmare.
Our mother, desperate to replenish the family treasury she had squandered, locked me in a dungeon and drained my blood for ten years—
She treated me like a living blood bank, planning to hand me over to a six-hundred-year-old vampire lord as payment for her debts.
So when the black fire consumed us, all I felt as I looked into Delphine's face twisted by jealousy was absolute relief.
When I opened my eyes again, we had both returned to the Blood Moon Choosing Ceremony at the age of eighteen.
This time, before the Elders' Council could even announce the contracts, Delphine lunged madly toward our mother on the throne.
Seeing the greed and ecstasy she could barely contain in her eyes, I said nothing. I simply turned and walked toward my father, who stood in the corner of the hall, leaning on an iron crutch.
She thought she had finally seized a crown.
She had no idea that she had willingly thrown herself into a bottomless abyss filled with her own daughter's blood.
"I swear my loyalty to the Luna! I will never leave the Golden Moon territory!"
The sharp cry echoed through the council hall.
Delphine clutched the silk robe of her mother, Morgana, so tightly that her nails nearly dug through the fabric. Her chest heaved violently as she glared at me with bloodshot eyes, her face filled with the smug delight of someone certain of victory.
Spread across the black obsidian table lay the newly signed Bloodline Severance Scroll.
Morgana watched it all with cold indifference. The lofty Luna sat upon her throne, absentmindedly turning the Moonstone around her neck as though she were inspecting a commodity that had arrived at just the right moment.
"Since Delphine has sworn her loyalty of her own accord," Morgana said without a trace of warmth, "grant her the Golden Moon Wolf Mark."
"As for Thessaly…"
Without even lifting her eyelids, Morgana casually tossed the silver dagger onto the cold stone floor.
The blade scraped out a shrill metallic shriek before coming to rest at a man's feet.
"Halvard, she's yours."
The verdict was delivered with the casualness of someone taking out the trash.
"The Golden Moon Pack's silver mines, territory, and army all belong to me. You, disgraced Alpha, don't even think about taking a single coin with you."
In the corner of the hall, the man leaning on his crutch suddenly trembled.
Halvard wore tattered animal hide and nervously rubbed his heavily callused palms together. The immense humiliation made the eyes of the legless man instantly redden.
"Morgana…" He struggled to suppress the tremor in his voice. "Thessaly will undergo her full-moon awakening next month. There is no Moon Temple in the frozen wasteland. She's an unshifted pup. If she follows me there… she'll die in a blizzard."
"That is your problem."
Morgana cut him off coldly, naked disgust flashing in her eyes.
"If I hadn't been blind back then, why would I have chosen a worthless man like you who can't even shift into his wolf form when enemies attack? The contract is severed. Take your burden and get out of my territory."
The surrounding noble elders snickered.
Delphine walked toward me like a victor. She leaned close to my ear, her voice soft and venomous.
"Thessaly, in our last life, you became Luna and enjoyed all the glory and luxury. This time, it's your turn to wait for death in that miserable shack. The Luna's throne of the North is mine."
Looking at the greed twisting her face, I could only sneer inwardly.
So she had been reborn too.
She thought I had lived a dazzling life in my previous life.
She didn't know that beneath those magnificent robes were countless needle marks left from having my blood drained.
She also didn't know that the useless father everyone had trampled beneath their feet carried the blood of an ancient Wolf King within him—
And that the girl trapped in the dungeon in our previous life had carved every ancient vampire potion formula into her mind simply to stay alive.
I ignored Delphine.
I walked straight past her to Halvard and took his trembling, rough hand in mine.
"Father, I'm going with you."
I looked at him, my voice steady.
Halvard's entire body shook. He stared at me in disbelief.
"Thessaly… If you follow me, you'll starve to death."
His voice was broken.
"I'm not afraid."
I gave him a small smile.
Then, amid the deathly silence of the hall, I bent down, picked up the silver dagger, and decisively sliced open my palm.
Hot blood dripped onto the parchment.
The Blood Oath roared to life.
"I, Thessaly, willingly renounce the Golden Moon Wolf Mark."
I looked directly at my cold-hearted mother on the throne and drove the dagger deep into the obsidian table.
"From this moment forward, the Golden Moon Clan and I are dead to each other."

GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
He was wrong.
Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.
Then he met me.
What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.
So I disappeared.
I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.
Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.
But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.
Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.
Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.
It's inside his own family.
Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.
Then someone comes for the people I love.
Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.
It's about whether he can keep me alive.
Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.
Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.
Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.
Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.
Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.
We were both wrong.
Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.
They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.
Pete Leadsilver lost me once.
This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.
Bonds at War: The Virgin is Mine
Perhaps then they would stop controlling my every move. Maybe my brothers would stop resenting me. Perhaps I wouldn’t feel so invisible anymore.

Heartbroken and humiliated, I left everything behind and went to Elite alone.

There’s the mate who shattered my heart and swears he’ll win me back.

And the cold, possessive Alpha who watches from the shadows—and would destroy anyone who dares to take me from him.
But in a place where love is a battlefield and lust is a weapon... falling in love might be the most dangerous thing I ever do.
Welcome to Elite Order Academy—where every desire has a price, and my body is the ultimate trophy.
Love's Deadly Equation
I was sent to her.
To watch her. To protect her. And, when the order comes… to kill her.
My name is Keegan Caffery. I’m the Carter Mafia’s best hitman. I don’t miss. I don’t fail.
At least, I didn’t use to.
I don’t know what it is about her that got to me first—her mouth, her mind, or the way she looks at me like I’m not what she should fear.
I’ve had a gun to her head since I walked into her life.
She knows it.
And she still doesn’t run.
She just watches me back like she’s studying a problem she refuses to call impossible.
She’s the one variable I can’t control.
And God help me… I don’t want to.
I have an order. I have loyalty. I have a trigger.
But every time I imagine it—
I can’t stand it.
Her or me. That’s the math.
It’s a deadly equation I don’t want to solve.
⬥ Maisie ⬥
I’m not ordinary. I stopped pretending long ago.
My name is Maisie Seo. IQ 145. Clinical genius.
Which sounds impressive until you realize what it actually means: I don’t fit anywhere people expect me to.
I see patterns everywhere. Outcomes before they happen. People like equations I’ve already solved.
It gets lonely in a world you’ve already figured out.
So I dull myself down. Smoke the edges off. Pretend, badly, to be the kind of normal that lets people stay.
Then he walked in.
I knew what he was immediately. Dangerous. Intentional. Wrong in all the right ways.
I should be afraid of him.
I keep waiting for that to kick in.
Instead, I’m fascinated.
Because for the first time in my life… I’ve found something I can’t solve.
He is my deadly equation.

His.
He doesn't know he's writing to her, either.
By the time they find out, it's too late to stop what's already happening. Far too dangerous for anyone to find out.
