The Luna Doesn't Wait

I was sent as a child to be fostered by the Starstone Pack, and I was entangled with the two Alphas, Rowan and Cedric, for a full twenty years. They once made me the most dazzling moon of the entire pack, the envy of every she-wolf. But when I asked for a mate ceremony and for a pup of my own, one said pack affairs were more important, and the other said intimacy didn't mean forever. Then, at my adulthood feast, they publicly bestowed the Luna Crown and Luna Ring upon Flora—the woman who had stolen my room, worn my gowns, and taken my identity. To please her, they forced me to drink potent spirits that harmed my body, causing gastric bleeding and sending my wolf spirit into turmoil once more. I finally understood that twenty years of waiting would never earn me a firm choice. The day I was discharged from the hospital, I agreed to my mother's wish and registered a mate bond with Asher, heir to the Oak Pack. But only after I truly left did Rowan and Cedric come chasing after me like mad. They realised they had personally lost the only one willing to wait for them, and they watched with their own eyes as I donned the Oak Pack's Luna Crown and carried my new mate's pup. Meanwhile, the truth of Flora and her mother's theft of pack treasures was exposed, their Luna symbols were revoked, and they were finally brought to justice by the pack tribunal.
