I was born as the true mate ordained by the Moon Goddess with the power to heal Alphas through mating.
To cure the severe leg injuries of Damian, the Alpha of the Moonlight Wolf Pack, I mated with him every night.
When Damian learned I possessed the rare blessing of the Moon Goddess, he treated the stone statue of the "Moon Soul Wolf" - the physical manifestation of my soul - as a priceless treasure.
He not only built a hundred-acre Moon Goddess Garden for it, but also invited ancient wolf sages to guard it day and night.
Three years later, simply because his childhood sweetheart Lilith had a nightmare one night.
He ordered the Moon Soul Wolf statue to be smashed, attempting to "purify" the pack and dispel the so-called "curse" for Lilith.
I desperately protected the statue, kneeling at his feet with tears blurring my vision.
"Damian, the Moon Soul Wolf is the physical projection of my soul! If destroyed, my wolf spirit will dissipate with it!"
I begged, "Your wounds aren’t fully healed yet. If I die, the Moon Goddess will withdraw her protection from you too!"
But he remained coldly indifferent, his lips curling into a mocking smile as he waved his hand to completely shatter the statue, its fragments scattered before me."You used this lie of the Moon Goddess' companion to bind me for three whole years. Not exposing you was already my greatest mercy!"
"It's just a worthless rock. If it can bring Lilith peace, then it's worth it. At worst, I'll find you a new moonstone to carve!"
That night, my entire body felt as if it had been pierced by thousands of arrows. My wolf spirit was gradually disintegrating.
I dragged my broken body, crawling all night to reach the treehouse of Elara, the oldest and wisest in the wolf pack.
When I stood before her, my eyes were already a mix of blood and tears.
"A hundred years ago, the ancestors of the Moonshade Pack swore allegiance to the Moon Goddess, and She in turn blessed you with a century of peace."
"Now that the Moon Spirit Wolf has been destroyed, and my soul will soon dissipate, I fear I no longer have the strength to protect you, your leader!"

The Alpha's Fatal Choice

After everything settled down, Damian remained frozen in place.


He didn't want to admit that everything I said was true, yet he couldn't explain what was happening before his eyes.


For some reason, his chest felt hollow, filled with an indescribable emptiness.


Seeing his dazed expression, Lilith pretended to be concerned and linked her arm with his.


"Damian, have you been bewitched by her illusions again? If she hates seeing me here, I'll leave right now. I'll do anything as long as she comes back!"


She wiped away non-existent tears, expecting Damian to comfort her as he usually did.


But Damian just turned his head mechanically, looking at her with a blank expression.


The next moment, a sharp pain shot through his legs.


He could no longer support himself and fell heavily to his knees.


"My legs... why can't I stand up? Lilith, didn't you say you had herbs that saved me? Surely you can heal my legs again, right?"


He stared intently at Lilith, his gaze frightfully cold.
