The Luna He Betrayed Became the Queen He Lost

Again, I woke up in a bed in the treatment center.

“Awake now?” Lucius’s low voice came from my side. “How did you get brought back by ambulance? So eager to catch my notice that you wouldn’t even walk back yourself?”

I chuckled at the man who once vowed to the Moon Goddess to guard me forever. “Wisteria shoved me down the stairs. My leg broke again. I don’t even have a wolf spirit, how could I return by myself?”

Lucius’s face turned tight, and he seemed more hesitant when he looked at me.

“About what happened this time, just let it go. As Luna, you should also learn to be more open-minded later on.”

“Wisteria is pregnant with my child, and she also saved your father’s life. Can’t you even accept her?”

I shut my eyes, no longer wanting to keep arguing.

At that moment, I suddenly realized something.

The way he now looked at Wisteria, full of light, was exactly how he used to look at me five years ago.

I had no wolf, and Wisteria looked weak and helpless. Both of us could meet his need of “wanting women to rely on him.”

From the start to the end, what he loved was the she-wolf who could satisfy his need to protect, not me as a person.

The day I left the hospital was also my birthday, and Lucius arranged a banquet for me in the pack hall.

During the banquet, Wisteria entered elegantly in a pure white gown, like a soft white bloom, while purposely showing the necklace around her neck.

“Happy birthday, Luna.” She carried the present box in both hands, her smile bright and charming.

I quietly accepted the present, not even caring to open it.

When the music for dancing started, Wisteria shyly pulled on Lucius’s sleeve. “I have never been to this kind of dance… Alpha, will you guide me?”

Lucius turned to me. “Rosalie, it’s fine if we skip this once. Next year at this time, I will be with you…”

“No need.”

Lucius frowned and gave me a look that said, "You are throwing a fit again," then took Wisteria's hand and walked onto the dance floor.

Fine. Even then, he still did not understand that I had already chosen to leave.

All night long, Wisteria held onto Lucius and would not step away, at one moment asking him to feed her by hand, then asking him to ease the pup bothering her belly.

And I, the main one, was left forgotten in a corner.

Whispers from the guests nearby reached me from every direction.

“The Luna without a wolf, in the end, cannot beat the new lover who can have pups.”

“This child holds both healer and Alpha blood; a mother’s place rises with the child. I believe Luna’s role will soon be taken.”

I did not want to keep watching this poor show, so I left in silence with a blank expression.

As soon as I sat in the car and told the driver to go, Wisteria suddenly ran in front of it.

She looked at me, then tapped on my window in panic. “Luna, today is your birthday. Don’t be mad, I will return Alpha to you now…”

Wisteria cried softly, her frail body moving unsteadily in the night.

“Luna, do not be this way. I simply love Lucius too much. I do not want to hurt you…”

While she talked, she curved her lips at me, showing a cold, mocking smile that only I saw.

Then, without warning, she let go of the hand on the car door and fell straight backward.

Almost at the same time, Lucius, in wolf form, rushed forward from behind.

He saw Wisteria falling in front of my car wheel, and my car had started to move.

To him, I, this jealous mate, was trying to take the life of his cub and his loved one.

Lucius released a wolf howl that rang through the night, his big wolf body hitting hard against the side of the car.

Under the strength of the angry Alpha, the car rolled over roughly!

Heavy pain covered my awareness in a moment, blood moved from my forehead into my eyes, and my vision became completely red.

Those guests spoke the truth.

The Luna without a wolf, in the end, could not defeat the new lover who could give birth to his pups.
