Luna's Return: Chasing His Betrayed Luna

At the pack house, Alpha Blaze held a conference for all officials. When it ended, I seized the moment, declaring, “In witness to all elders, I, Luna Avery, want everyone to know that I am breaking Alpha Blaze and I's bond.”

In the end, neither Alpha Blaze nor the elders took it seriously, brushing it off as a fallout from my outburst. Despite my efforts to convince them of the truth, no one believed me, not even Alpha Blaze.

With no one believing me, I had to carry on with my duties as Luna.

Immediately after, Alpha Blaze fell silent, and it dawned on me too late that he had been off the grid for two weeks, handling alliances and disappearing without a trace. However, he still managed to post updates on social media.

Our schedules never meshed, and even after five years together, we hadn't spent time together like we used to.

As Alpha Blaze's presence was somewhere else, Hunter came to inform me, “Didn’t you know that Alpha Blaze is elsewhere only to spend them with Scarlett, not with his alliance?”

Well, I was no longer fazed. It wasn’t the first time Alpha Blaze had centered his attention on Scarlett; it had transpired time and again.

With Alpha Blaze off the radar, I seized the chance to gear up for renouncing the pack and returning to the one I had once forsaken.

Hunter clued me in on the turnover ceremony set for tomorrow and included me on the list. Alpha Blaze had ordered all the pack warriors to tighten security to keep me from slipping away; this was my last option to escape.

With the borders tightly secured to keep me from leaving, I seized the day to quietly blend in with the turnover pack members, posing as one of the Omegas.

I couldn't bear the thought of staying another two months just to see him.

Inside the pack house, the living room appeared dim and deserted, a haunting reminder of my near-death experience just days earlier.

Shrugging it off, I went straight to the room, packing all my belongings from our shared room.

My foot snagged on something as I prepared to step outside with Hunter. Looking down, I saw a ring I'd lost in the fire.

Once gleaming, it was now coated in ash. I slipped it into my pocket and, looking up, was taken aback when I sniffed a familiar scent of him, Alpha Blaze.

When I looked up, Alpha Blaze's presence dashed my plans to leave the pack.

As I took a step back, a ring rolled into view, drawing my attention. Alpha Blaze’s face darkened at the sight of it and me with my belongings. The weight of the past hung heavy in the air.

If memory serves, it was Alpha Blaze's gift to Scarlett, returned after their bond was severed.

For five years, Alpha Blaze saw it as a symbol of disgrace. Yet, each time it came into view, a glimpse of once a perfect bond ignited.

When Scarlett reappeared, Alpha Blaze was eager to rekindle their bond, even with me still by his side. It felt like he aimed to have me, his chosen mate, and Scarlett, his fated one.

Snapping back to reality, I saw Alpha Blaze eyeing the ring and my packed belongings.

His gaze pierced me as he declared, “You can’t escape this pack. I’ve told you before—you belong to Crescent Moon, and you belong to me.”

With his declaration, my hopes were dashed. Not wanting to face sanctions for defying him, I complied with all his orders and mind-link Hunter for abandoning our escape plans.

As usual, the turning-over ceremony unfolded at the pack, with neighboring Alphas present to claim all pack members to send for alliance and send them off.

With Hunter leading the ceremony, he shot me a look that said all our efforts had been in vain. He even suspected someone had tipped off Alpha Blaze, explaining his unexpected return.

After the ceremony, Alpha Blaze dined with three other Alphas and their Lunas, but I opted out.

Over the moon, Scarlett took my place and joined them as Luna.

That same night, my decision to leave him was set in stone.

As the days went by, Alpha Blaze's treatment toward me grew colder, while Scarlett slowly worked some of my duties as Luna. It was as if she was primed to seize my position as Luna.

As a result, I had to slip out of the pack mansion without Alpha Blaze knowing, staying in my newly rented apartment.

When he discovered my departure, he mind-linked me with a commanding tone, “Get back to the pack mansion, now!”

In an instant, I came, and he demanded an explanation for my move.

Evidently, he was the cause, but I was too weary to argue. I just gave him a hint that I was serious about ending our bond.

“Where were you when I needed you most, Alpha Blaze? Like I’ve said before, once you neglected me, I lost all interest in this mateship,” I confessed, calm and composed.

But then again, Alpha Blaze kept laying claim to me. In the end, I packed up and left, unwilling to face him again.

As I looked back on our past and wept, Hunter stepped in to offer comfort.

To soothe my sorrow, he said, “Luna Avery, Alpha Blaze isn’t worth your tears. He harbors many secrets you need to uncover. Once your mateship ends, everything will become clear.”

Though his words were vague, it felt like the Moon Goddess had sent Hunter to aid me.

When I asked what Hunter meant, he revealed, “Alpha Blaze has secrets. One is that he’s only using you for his gain.”
