I am Kael's soulmate, yet I willingly become the cover for his affair with his childhood sweetheart.
"Tonight, I'll be bringing Lyra back to the den. You'd better stay in your cottage and not show up."
With my soul weakened, I can't get away fast enough. I catch them entering the depths of the den in a tight embrace. The ward's door barely close before their breaths begin to intertwine.
My thought is simple: to love an alpha is to accept everything about him.
I'm under Kael's spell. Since I can't fully possess his heart, I'm willing to bear even the hollow title of Luna.
But when the enemy wolf pack suddenly attacks, I watch with my own eyes as Kael leaps to Lyra's side, using his alpha strength to protect her as they flee.
Meanwhile, I'm torn apart by the enemy alpha's claws, my soul dispersing under the moonlight.
I regret it now. No love, no matter how deep, is worth more than one's own life.
The Moon Goddess takes pity on me. I'm given new life, determined to give up on Kael.
But now, he's the one with regrets.

The soul trauma's aftermath has left me weak and vulnerable.
It was the same in my past life. I slept for a day and a night in my cottage, and my alpha Kael didn't even send a single telepathic message to check on me.
As if I were a disposable existence.
I never expected to open my eyes and find myself back at this point in time.
Perhaps the Moon Goddess took pity on me and granted me this chance at rebirth.
The terror of being torn apart by evil wolves hasn't yet faded. I can feel the feeble lunar energy within me, my fingertips trembling.
Just like in my past life, Kael sent a telepathic message moments ago.
"I'm bringing Lyra back to the alpha den tonight. You'd better stay in your cottage and not show up."
If I remember correctly, Lyra had been back with the pack for less than three days.
Kael couldn't contain himself, actually bringing her directly to the alpha's exclusive den.
In my past life, I was too weak to avoid it and could only listen from my cottage as their essences mingled.
Perhaps thinking the den's barrier could block everything, they didn't even bother to stifle their panting. Their energy fluctuations were utterly uninhibited.“Lyra, my moonlight, won't you call me your alpha? Come on, be a good girl..."
To this day, I still remember how Kael, cold and unyielding in front of me, shared his passion with Lyra in that deep, husky voice.
But this time, I won't make the same mistake again.
In my past life, when they were having their secret tryst in the den, Kael's mother, Elder Elara, who is highly respected in the pack, somehow got wind of it and stormed over there.
At that critical moment, it was me who, with my weakened soul, went to smooth things over.
"Carlisle, you need to keep a close eye on Kael. Though Lyra grew up with him, her bloodline isn't pure. She's not worthy of an alpha. You absolutely can't let them do anything that would tarnish the pack's reputation."
Because the pull towards Kael still lingered deep in my soul, even though I knew he was hiding naked and entangled with Lyra in the den, I could only muster my strength to placate Elder Elara and persuade her to leave.
But this time...
If Kael has the guts to bring her back, he should be prepared to face Elara's wrath.
I'm not going to be his cover anymore. Despite my soul still feeling uneasy, I gritted my teeth and got up, preparing to leave this place of trouble.
Based on my experience from my past life, Kael and Lyra wouldn't arrive at the den for another twenty minutes.
I hurriedly tidied up a bit, then followed the path I remembered to the Granny Wolf's herbal cottage in the neutral territory.
My soul was indeed severely damaged, so it made sense to go and recuperate.
As for the alpha den, I'd leave that for the two of them to mess around in.
After all, I didn't have a habit of peeping on others' intimate moments.
After I set out, my bestie Melody sent me a mental message.
"How's your soul? My mother gathered some soul-calming herbs, I can bring you some!"
In my past life, I immediately refused her because I was focused on Kael.
But this time, I decided not to act.
After all, just having Elara catch them in the act wouldn't be exciting enough, would it?
By the time everything was arranged, I was already lying on the animal skin rug in the wolf mother-in-law's cottage, soaking up the nourishing essence of moonlight.
