Regina’s life changes in an instant when she meets Waldo, the powerful alpha of a notorious pack. Their connection is instant, as if fate itself had brought them together. Waldo is struck by how much Regina resembles his first love—a woman he lost to destiny. But as their bond grows stronger, Waldo uncovers a truth that shakes him to the core: Regina is the Luna the Moon Goddess has destined for him.
Yet, their love is tested by Waldo’s fierce nature and the constant interference from his pack. As misunderstandings pile up, Regina is forced to leave, heartbroken and alone. Years pass, and Waldo rises to power, but no matter how much he tries to move on, he can’t forget the woman who stole his heart.
Now, with the pack under his control, Waldo returns, determined to claim Regina once more. But despite the burning desire to make her his, he fears the pain he could bring her. In a heartbreaking decision, he rejects her... and her wolf.

Moon Goddess' Call: After Rejection

Regina tightened her grip on the fork, her fingers turning white with tension. She bit her lip lightly, her gaze locked onto the man sitting across from her, eyes burning with defiance.

"I can agree to stay here for a month… to be your mate…" She paused, as if summoning every ounce of strength to force out the next words. "But I need to work… I… I really need the money."

Her voice faltered toward the end, tinged with quiet despair. She should be breaking down, hiding away somewhere to cry her heart out. She shouldn't be giving in. But damn it all, she had no choice. Reality was merciless, and she had no grounds to be sentimental.

Waldo remained impassive, his expression unreadable. He didn't even spare her a glance, continuing his meal at an unhurried pace. His movements were refined yet exuded an air of dark allure, his indifference laced with an underlying sense of danger.
