Rejected By My Fated Mate, I Became His Luna

At eight months pregnant, I was sent by my mate to the territory of Rowan Marshall, the infamous Alpha of the Marshall Pack.

It was because Rowan had specifically asked for me.

"The Alpha Marshall is known for his ruthlessness. If our Luna goes there, she might not return alive," the pack members whispered among themselves.

But Theo, my mate, paid no attention.

He calmly brought back his chosen mate, Liliana, who had been hidden in the outskirts of the city.

With a cold expression, he said, "Don’t blame me for being heartless. It’s the Alpha’s command. No one dares to defy him."

He even promised Liliana a legitimate place in our pack right in front of me.

I didn’t cry or protest. I obediently got into the car.

Because in my past life, I had threatened to take my own life, and Theo had sent Liliana, who was also pregnant, in my place.

Within half a month, Liliana was tortured to death.

Theo bided his time until the day I gave birth, when he brutally killed our child right before my eyes.

I desperately tried to stop him, but he used his claws to tear through my heart.

He said, "This is what you owe Liliana."

But this time, I would let him have his way with Liliana.

==============================

"Have you heard? The Alpha Marshall specifically demanded that our Alpha send his mate to serve him in exchange for helping our pack out of this crisis."

"That Alpha Marshall is notorious for his brutality. No woman who enters his territory ever comes out alive. This is a tragedy."

"Indeed. Our Alpha agreed yesterday. In three days, he’ll send our Luna there. Poor Luna, she’s been so kind to us, and she’s pregnant. It’s a cruel fate…"

The window was open, and the whispers of the pack members drifted in clearly.

Sylvie, my loyal Omega servant, had cried her eyes red.

"My Luna, why don’t you beg our Alpha? You’ve been so close. He wouldn’t dare send you to such a hellish place!"

"Silly girl, begging won’t change anything," I replied calmly, my gaze distant. "He’ll do it anyway."

The whole pack was abuzz with gossip.

Theo and I were once seen as a perfect match, deeply in love.

In my past life, when Rowan’s demand reached our pack, Theo, though shocked, agreed for the sake of resolving the pack’s crisis.

It was I who knelt before him, threatening to take my own life.

Theo then sent Liliana in my place to Rowan’s territory.

But within half a month, Liliana was tortured to death.

Theo had her body quietly buried.

He told me to focus on my pregnancy.

But on the day I gave birth, Theo brutally killed our child before my eyes.

Then he tore through my heart with his claws.

That was when I realized it had all been an act. He was madly in love with his chosen mate.

Yesterday, when Rowan’s messenger specifically demanded me, Theo agreed without hesitation.

That was when I knew Theo had also been reborn.

So this time, he would do everything to protect Liliana and send me away.

"Alpha is back!"

The familiar sound of footsteps echoed outside, followed by Theo’s cold and emotionless voice.

"Where’s my mate? Bring her out to meet Liliana."

The pack was in shock.

Sylvie rushed to me in a panic. "My Luna, the Alpha has brought a woman back. She’s…"

"She’s pregnant," I finished for her.

Sylvie stared at me in disbelief. "My Luna, how did you know?"

In my past life, Theo, coveting my family’s wealth, hadn’t sent me to Rowan’s territory directly.

He put on a show of being a devoted mate, swearing with tears in his eyes that he loved me more than anything.

To keep me, he brought Liliana, who had been hidden in the outskirts, into our pack.

"Iris, this is a servant I bought. She’s pregnant, just like you. Rowan hasn’t seen you. He won’t know the difference."

He played a game of deception, sending Liliana to Rowan’s territory while pleading with Rowan to spare my life.

But in the end, Liliana was still tortured to death.

It wasn’t until my dying moment that Theo told me the child Liliana carried was his.

Thinking of this, I shook my head with a faint smile.

"Sylvie, you’re calling me 'my Luna' now. That woman outside is Theo’s new chosen mate."

"Go pack our things. In three days, we’ll leave this place for good."

As soon as I finished speaking, Theo kicked the door open and stormed in.

"Iris Young, you’ve got quite the attitude. Even the servants can’t get you to move. What, do you think you’re already the Alpha Marshall’s woman and I can’t order you around anymore?"

I ignored him, but Liliana, trailing behind him, quickly knelt down.

She put on a pitiful expression, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Alpha, please don’t be angry. My Luna comes from the wealthy Young Pack. It’s only natural she looks down on an orphan like me."

"I should have come to pay my respects to the Luna. It’s not proper for the Luna to come out to greet me."
