For three years, I had played the part of the perfect Luna, hoping my devotion to my husband, Arthur, would one day be returned. On our anniversary, I discovered that beautiful, glowing gem was meant for Victoria—his stepsister and first love. In a single moment, my world, and our marriage, was revealed as a lie. That same day, I discovered I was carrying his child. A secret that felt more like a shackle than a blessing.

"If she was always the one, why did you mark me?" I finally asked, my voice hollow. His silence was the only answer I needed. But the truth was far more twisted. His grandfather, Elder William, revealed a dark history of a murdered mother and a calculated sacrifice that could shatter the entire Moonstone pack.

Just as I resolved to leave, Nathan Snowfang, a ghost from my academy days, returned. His arrival ignited a possessive fire in Arthur, the same man who still catered to Victoria's every whim. Suddenly, he saw the wife he had taken for granted.

Now I face a choice: do I stay and fight for a love that has only brought me pain, or do I escape and forge my own path?
