"You're my mate?" I felt nervous when Xander spoke those words. His emerald eyes locked into mine, and he ran his fingers through his blond hair - I knew right away, that I was rejected.
"There is no way that we could be mates. You are my sister's boyfriend-" I whispered, bracing myself for his potential rejection.
"Ex-boyfriend, we don't have any connection anymore. She's not my mate, but you are," He corrected me as he crooked a smile.
I gaze into his eyes. "So?"
"I, Xander Blaze Havoc, the Alpha King of the Blue Moon Pack, hereby accept you, Solaine Blake, as my mate and as the Luna of my Pack."
Solaine Blake, initially surprised to find herself mated to Xander Blaze Havoc, the Alpha King of the Blue Moon Pack, finds acceptance from him despite her fears of rejection. 
Their mate bond, however, is short-lived; it shatters when Solaine's sister Selene returns and takes her place as Luna, leaving Solaine heartbroken and marginalized within the pack.
"Tomorrow. Selene will replace your position. I want you to make things right while it's early."
Unknown to Xander, Solaine is carrying his child, a fact overshadowed by Selene's mistreatment. 
The situation complicates further with the arrival of Xander's attractive, younger stepbrother, Axel Zephyr Havoc, who shows a keen interest in Solaine. 
Despite his changed feelings, Xander can't help but feel jealous seeing Solaine and Axel together...

The Replaced Luna

　　That was about as shocking as a feather gently brushing against my skin. I can already envision them treating me like a lowly maid, expecting me to cater to their every whim. I stride purposefully, leaving them behind in my wake. I can't bear to witness their passionate embrace while my own existence crumbles into despair.


　　I step into my humble abode, the familiar scent of home enveloping me. With purposeful determination, I begin the task of carefully gathering and organizing my belongings, each item holding a story of its own.


　　"Where are you off to?" Axel's voice trembled with anticipation as he asked.


　　"I'm going to make my daring escape," I declared, my heart pounding as I meticulously prepared for the audacious plan ahead.


　　"Wow, no shit," he exclaimed. "You simply cannot do it at this very moment," he added, his voice tinged with a hint of finality.


　　I swiftly pivoted my body, fixing my gaze upon him. "Why?" I asked with curiosity.
