The Southern pack led by Alpha Marvin and the White stone pack, led by Richard, the heir of the current Alpha, help each other to find Abby Jezz Urdanzo. In two years of looking, the two didn't give up finding her.
But two years before,
"Stella, where did you come from? I was calling you for two days?" Marie her Aunt said.
"I hired someone to kidnap Abby Jezz Urdanzo, but I didn't kill her. I just had her inject the medicine that has a long sleeping time. They left her in the basement," Stella said. Marie never thought that Stella could do it on her own, without asking for her help.
"Has anyone seen you? or Or someone who knows about your plan?" Marie asked her niece with more concern now.
"Yes, but it's OK. He is a deranged psychopathic person. The southern pack had no hope of finding her. I am the only one who knows where Abby Jezz can be found."
Stella said. She was 18 years old at that time. Her Aunt Marie trusted her. Because Marie knows her very well.
"OK, what's your next plan?"
"To study hard, get the attention of the Alpha, I will be his subordinate. The Luna and I have an agreement. I will be staying by her side for more studies. I will start right after two years. She will do the process first, step by step, so that all of the white stone packs will see the true purpose of what I am. The mate-Luna for the heirs, Richard." Stella said, with a great smile on her face.
"I agree, the current Luna is brilliant. Her mind set can see in her eyes how she manages her duties very well." Marie said.
Marie always supported Stella in many ways. As long as this does not affect her business, losing her money is her great failure. "Money is wealth is equal to life", the money she had from Stella's mother.
While Abby Jezz is not around. Stella did her task in accordance with her plans. The plan is to become a good example to everyone, for her dream to become the Luna of the White Stone Pack.
Five years later, Richard and Stella were officially tagged as boundless mates of the pack. The new leader, of the new generation.
If Stella succeeds, can Abby Jezz's best friend Tagi do anything? Will she avenge her friendship or claim the throne reserved for Abby Jezz?
Follow the story of Stella Ortega, who is now the Luna of the White stone pack, while Tagi proves that Stella is the only one who knew about where Abby Jezz was.

"How are you sweetie? You almost forgot her birthday", Marie said, on the line, talking to Stella. She reminded Stella that today was her mother's birthday.
Stella has no time for other events, since she was chosen for the position as a Luna of the White Stone pack.
"I'm sorry Aunt, yeah I did. How are you doing?" Stella asked.
"Here on the balcony, I am comforting myself while talking to the moon. I hope the goddess hears my prayers." Marie said.
"Prayers for what?" Stella asked.
"A prayer for your health and safety."
"You know, you don't have to worry about me, I have Richard on my side," Stella replied.
"Yeah.. I know.. take care always! I love you.." Marie said. Then she cut her line.
Stella put down her smart phone on the table and walked near to the window. She was staring at the moon and started to talk, as if she was talking to the goddess.
"If she prays for my health and safety, please bless her. She has been in my family since I was a kid," Stella said.
In a few seconds, she heard the door had opened and, even though she hadn't turned around, she knew that Richard was the one who had entered. She could sense that Richard was walking towards her. As if a thorn had been put in Stella's heart. Hearing what Richard tells her.
"She's pregnant,"
Stella stared at him in shock, her face paling. Her destined mate, the love of her life, admitted he had gotten a girl pregnant. If there should be any girl to get pregnant, that should be Stella.
The mate bond made the weight of his words tortuous and her inner wolf howled out in pain. Stella gave everything to Richard, she suffered everything for him. And yet here he was, standing in front of her, telling such excruciating news.
"Why?" Stella whispered, tears brimming in her eyes.
"I don't need to explain myself to you," Richard said sharply.
"You couldn't even fulfill all your duties as my mate, as a Luna. Don't start acting like this is a surprise. The pack needs an Alpha heir. Something you are incapable of, Stella." His words stung, twisting deep into her flesh. They had been officially mated for four years now. But Stella failed to bear him a child. It wasn't as if she hadn't wanted it though.
Four months later, they had officially found out about the mate-bond. Stella would try everything to be with him as much as possible. But he was never interested in her. She could see that clearly. Above all, she was the rightful Luna
Stella also knew about her mistress; Thea. They had known each other since just before they were officially mated and she could plainly see how he doted on his mistress over Stella. But Luna remained hopeful that he would warm to her, once she bore him a child.
Stella went to the doctor a year after failing to conceive. He confirmed her worst fears; she was unable to bear a child. She didn't know what to do, how to keep going. This was the one thing that she had pinned all of her hopes on for her fate to change, for Richard to change. The news of her infertility was kept only within the high ranks of the pack. Fortunately, her Aunt Marie never knew she might have her.
Stella had tried everything to keep Richard's attention despite the news. She lost weight, tried to make herself prettier, and was dedicated to her duties.
The White Stone pack was the most successful pack in the country. Later, the southern pack weakened. The story was about the northern pack trying to invade their place with claims, homes and even claim their power. But they didn't know about the return of Abby Jezz Urdanzo. Stella thought that Abby Jezz had already died in the basement. Because it's already five years now, Abby Jezz was the missing person in the whole southern part. Hence, their Alpha continued to find his mate.
Stella thought if Abby Jezz would die, she would also win. Now her problems are much worse than any woman has. Whenever Richard had lay with her in the past, it had always been cold, clinical, as if he was performing a duty rather than enjoying himself. She knew if Richard could have learned about her infertility, he had stopped coming to her completely.
However, the longer time went on, the colder and more abusive he got. Is this what they call "Karma" for Stella?
"But I love you, Richard," Stella said, her voice barely audible. She couldn't meet his cold green eyes and her legs began to shake. Her wolf was crushed, she could feel her pain in herself. It was suffocating.
"Don't be pathetic," he scoffed.
"You should count yourself lucky I'm not removing you from your Luna position for Thea. The previous Alpha chose you to be Luna, even though they were wrong." Stella flinched at his words.
"However," he continued,
"I need to inform you that I will be making Thea's child my rightful heir. The elderly have deemed this appropriate given the circumstances. They understand how important this baby is for the survival of the pack."
Stella bowed her head to him in submission, tears quietly streaming down her face. She needed to leave, to get away from him, but she was held in place by his presence. Even after everything he had done to her, she still relished him even talking to her.
The bond between Luna and Alpha was strong, and it caused her to still love Richard even now. Even though every part of her wanted to scream at him, to hit him, to claw his eyes out because of hurting her.
"We have a pack meeting tomorrow morning at eight. Don't be late," he said finally before walking out of the pack house. He didn't even glance twice at her as he left.
No apology, no sympathy. Richard would rather see her suffer than give her even an ounce of love or affection. She was a Luna, his Luna, and a queen in the eyes of the pack, but he could not even spare her the decency of a glance. His lack of respect for her was obvious.
