I was once the cherished daughter of the Green family, the revered Luna of the Waterfall Pack, living a blissful life with my husband, Andre. But then, Tina appeared, shattering the serenity of my life. It turned out she was the biological daughter of the Greens, and to make matters worse, she was Andre's destined mate. Andre claimed he loved me. Yet he yanked the ruby-studded Luna crown right out of my grasp and offered it to Tina. Did he think I was a fool? What would the pack think of me now? A cast-off Luna, abandoned by her Alpha? Love was nowhere to be found. In my darkest hour, a rival pack launched a sudden attack. At that crucial moment, Andre, who swore he loved me, chose to protect his beloved Tina and left me behind. Was this what he called love? My heart turned to dust. Shattered and heartbroken, I threw myself into the fray, fighting recklessly. I was gravely wounded and captured. Midway through, I was captured by the Lightning Pack. It was there that I encountered the formidable Alpha, Odin. I only sought to ally with Odin to quell the rebellion. But he insisted I become his Luna.

Dying in the gutter, Susan watched her protegé Julie flash a wedding video on a diamond-encrusted phone.  Her ex-fiancé David kissed  his  bride beneath castle spires—both decked in fortunes *she’d* paid for. The same girl Susan had starved to educate.  “*Pathetic,*” Julie giggled through her silk mask, nudging Susan’s emaciated body with a designer heel. “Should’ve died faster. We needed your trust fund *last month.*” Blood bubbled at Susan’s lips. Eight years of sacrifice. Stolen money. Stolen love. Stolen life.  This wasn’t betrayal.   *This was murder.*
