Everyone said I was Alpha Damon's whole world.
Beneath his cold exterior, he once wiped out an enemy wolf pack at my word, yet when I was critically wounded by the "Soul-Devouring Curse," he prioritized saving his foster sister Seraphina's moonstone.
The moonstone scorched his palm, but he remained oblivious, clutching the stone tightly from the ruins—it once belonged to Seraphina, the sole anchor for his forbidden feelings for her.
He growled, nearly manic:
"Seraphina, since you left, my world has been devoid of moonlight."
"I've remained faithful to you for three years, at least leave me something to hold onto."
So it turns out my existence was merely a shield for his forbidden love, a tool with the bloodline of a lunar priestess.
I closed my eyes in despair, allowing the curse to consume me.
When I opened eyes again, I was back on the day of the fated mate declaration ceremony with Damon.

The Forsaken Luna's New Dawn

The guard, however, didn't back down, exuding the frigid aura unique to tundra wolves.


"Today's groom is our Lucian Alpha. I saw him at yesterday's rehearsal and there's no way I'd mistake him."


It was like a bucket of ice water poured over his head.


Seeing his reaction, the guard handed him an invitation woven from moonlight grass.


The gold-embossed words "Lucian and Elara's Eternal Mate Ceremony" instantly stung Damon's eyes.


The guard made a gesture of invitation.


"Sir, please proceed to the guest registration area."


"Impossible. Elara loves me so much, how could she bond with someone else?"


He pushed past the guard and barged into the inner chamber.


I was having the Moon Goddess's laurel crown placed on my head by handmaidens when I heard the commotion and turned around.


Damon's anxious and flustered face came into view.
