"Sebastian, help me..." I gasped, blood pooling beneath me after the brutal rogue ambush. But my mate didn’t look at my fatal wounds. instead, he rushed to Vivian, who had conveniently "fainted" from her heart condition again.

"She needs me, Chloe. You're strong enough to wait," he said, turning his back on his dying Luna to carry his childhood sweetheart to safety.

That was the night my love finally died.

For three years, I endured the humiliation of the Crimson Moon Pack, watching him choose her over our sacred bond. No more. I severed our connection and vanished, guarding two secrets that would destroy him: I am carrying his twin heirs, and I am the "Moonlight Savior"—the legendary healer he has been desperately hunting to save his pack.

Now that the truth is out, the arrogant Alpha is on his knees. He corners me, his voice trembling with a regret that shakes the very walls. "You are still my Luna," he growls, begging for a second chance.

I look at the man who left me to bleed out and smile coldly. "I don't need your protection anymore, Sebastian. And I certainly don't want you."
