The Luna Of Nine Lives

Sharing My Wedding Night Bed with Two Others.

Outside, the entire pack erupted into cheers as they welcomed their Alpha home.

A minor attack from the White Wolf Pack had left several of Alpha Kale's Omegas dead. Everyone celebrated his triumphant return to the castle, while I alone knew the truth.

Last night, he hadn't been with the pack at all.

Instead, he had been passionately making love to my adopted sister on the rooftop while the servants busied themselves preparing the victory banquet.

Not a single scratch marked his body. The struggle he had endured last night had not been a battle—it had been pleasure.

Because with my own eyes, I had seen where he had truly gone.

Ellara... the woman my husband loved far more than his own wife.

I drew a slow breath and smoothed the Luna gown draped over my body.

Today was supposed to be the continuation of our wedding celebration.

The reception hadn't even ended when Kale excused himself the night before.

He claimed the northern border had come under attack. As the strongest Alpha, he said he had to lead the battle.

I already knew it was a lie.

He had never gone with the pack.

Even so, as the Luna, I still ordered the entire castle to prepare the grandest welcome for his return.

Today, I was the Luna of the most respected Alpha. I had to preserve my dignity, even though the wolf inside me longed to tear him apart. If an Alpha lost his prestige, the entire pack would be shaken.

My pride could be destroyed, but not the honor of my pack.

I was the Luna of the mighty Iron Fang Pack, a mixed-blood Luna prophesied to possess extraordinary power.

"Lady Yura, Alpha Kale has arrived."

I gave a slight nod.

"Open the gates!"

The massive castle gates swung open.

Kale strode inside with his usual cold expression, greeted by deafening cheers from every direction.

Not a single soul knew...

The man they hailed as a hero had spent the previous night in another woman's bed.

How utterly disgraceful.

I raised my wine glass and smiled flawlessly.

"Welcome home, my husband."

Behind that perfect smile, I buried the raging flames that threatened to consume me from within.

Kale smiled and kissed my forehead.

"Yura, today marks the hundredth anniversary of the Moon Goddess's Diamond Stone Ceremony. As a mixed-blood, you'll finally receive the Moon Goddess's blessing."

"I hope you won't disappoint me. You must obtain that blessing."

"The Moonstone Blessing will only be granted to one mixed-blood Luna. Either I will receive it... or no one else will."

Hearing my confidence, Kale smiled.

"Then claim it. Don't disappoint me."

A faint smile curved my lips.

"Come, Alpha. You should get some rest first."

The sacred ceremony drew every major werewolf pack and their leaders together.

The Red-Eyed Wolf Pack was there, along with my own relatives, all waiting for this historic moment.

With unmistakable pride, my husband, Alpha Kale, stepped forward to address the crowd.

"When my beloved wife, Luna Yura, places her hand upon the Moon Diamond, it will shine crimson. She will receive the Moon Goddess's blessing and awaken the mightiest Fire Wolf bloodline."

Thunderous applause echoed throughout the ceremonial grounds.

This was a sacred ritual held only once every hundred years for the heir of the Red-Eyed mixed-blood lineage. Ours was a bloodline revered by every pack.

I climbed the marble platform where the enormous Moon Diamond stood.

The crystal towered over me, nearly twice my height, its flawless surface shimmering beneath the moonlight.

In my previous life...

The diamond had turned gray.

I slowly raised my trembling hand.

I already knew I couldn't change this part of fate.

No matter what I did, the Moon Diamond would most likely turn gray once again.

My fingertips brushed its brilliant surface.

For a heartbeat, the entire world fell silent.

Then gasps erupted from every direction.

The dazzling crystal rapidly lost its crimson glow, fading into a dull ash-gray as thick black smoke seeped from its core.

"W-What?"

"The Moon Goddess... didn't respond?"

Whispers spread through the crowd.

I remained silent.

Kale stormed toward me, fury burning in his eyes.

"Tell me, Yura! What is the meaning of this?" he roared. "I thought you possessed unparalleled power!"

I met his furious gaze without flinching.

"I told you before," I said calmly. "That power would either belong to me... or to no one."

"Then why didn't you receive it?"

His hand clamped painfully around my wrist.

In my previous life, I had been terrified whenever he looked at me like this.

But not anymore.

"Because..." I shouted, yanking my hand free, "...the time hasn't come yet!"

I turned back toward the massive Moon Diamond.

The Moon Goddess can see my destiny.

Perhaps revealing my true power now would be far too dangerous... especially if Kale were to discover it.

I let out a quiet breath before turning away.

"The ceremony is over," I announced. "Everyone may leave."

The crowd immediately burst into whispers.

Embarrassment darkened Kale's face.

In front of every Alpha and every pack, his proud declaration had become nothing more than a humiliation.

For the first time, he looked as though he regretted marrying me.

---

That night...

It should have been my wedding night.

Yet Kale never came.

In my previous life, I had spent the entire night alone, unable to remember what had happened after sunset.

Then the memory surfaced.

"Ellara brought me a tonic that night..."

A soft knock sounded at my chamber door.

Right on time.

"Good evening, Sister."

Ellara entered with a warm smile, carrying a silver tray filled with fruit and a steaming herbal tonic.

I stared at her expressionlessly.

"Tonight is your first night as husband and wife," she said sweetly. "I prepared this fertility tonic myself. It will help you conceive an heir."

My breathing faltered.

Even so, I forced a gentle smile onto my face.

"Please, Sister... drink it."

I accepted the cup and walked toward the balcony.

Ellara watched every step I took, the corners of her lips lifting with satisfaction.

"Thank you, Ellara," I said softly. "You're always so thoughtful."

She smiled while peeling a piece of fruit for me.

The instant her attention wandered...

I poured the tonic over the balcony railing.

Then I lifted the empty cup to my lips and pretended to finish every last drop.

"It's a little bitter," I remarked.

Ellara chuckled.

"I added a few mint leaves."

"I see."

I nodded calmly before returning to my seat.

"Thank you."

She smiled with obvious relief.

"Then I'll leave you to rest."

I nodded, watching her disappear beyond the door.

In my previous life, everything after drinking that tonic had become a blur.

I had awakened the next morning with a splitting headache and no memory of the night before.

I lay back on the bed and closed my eyes, pretending to fall asleep.

Moments later, footsteps approached once again.

Two people entered the room.

Ellara...

And Kale.

"Ellara, come here," Kale whispered. "Yura is asleep."

"Don't worry, my Alpha," Ellara replied with a soft laugh. "She won't wake up."

My eyes slowly opened.

But I remained perfectly still.

So it was true...

She had drugged my drink.

"I slipped something into her drink she’ll stay asleep,

" Ellara said. Kale laughed upon hearing this.

"You’re so clever, Ellara. It just so happens I’m sick of looking at her how dare she humiliate me in front of the whole pack.

" Ellara chuckled. I could only lie there silently, listening. Thud.

I was startled as they both flopped onto the bed—right where I was still lying.

"Mmm..." Ellara moaned as I heard the sound of a kiss.

"Ah... baby." I could feel their movements through the shifting mattress.

"Mmmh... oh, yeah." They were making love... Ellara stripped off her clothes and tossed them onto my body. Kale pulled Ellara’s body close, making her gasp. I could hear him licking something.

I clutched the bedsheets, my eyes welling up with tears. I couldn't get up

I didn't want them to know I was awake.

"Ah, ah... baby, I’m going crazy," Ellara cried out as he buried his face between her thighs.

I could sense Kale’s raw intensity as he hungrily devoured her. Kale squeezed her breasts, and Ellara screamed.

"Yours are so beautiful..." he said. "Didn't you say you liked *her* breasts, too?" Kale turned my body over, and I instinctively squeezed my eyes shut. "Look at him? He looks disgusting. If it weren't for that prophecy! I never would have married him. Turns out, he's just a loser who embarrasses me." Ellara chuckled again... she tossed a sheer piece of lingerie onto my face, allowing me to open my eyes—no longer needing to feign sleep.

Now, I could see them clearly through the sheer fabric. Kale unzipped his trousers, revealing his massive member. Ellara was eager to devour my husband's manhood. I could only watch their lovemaking with a heavy, aching heart.

"Oh... Ellara, you're so skilled." The woman took my husband's large member into her mouth. Once satisfied, Kale laid Ellara down, climbed over her, and thrust his member between her thighs. Ellara moaned in pleasure.

"Ah... my love. I hate the thought of you sharing this with her!" she murmured.

"This belongs to you, darling..." Kale continued to thrust into Ellara while kneading and devouring her breasts.

They kissed and held each other warmly. Their union looked incredibly pleasurable. They were doing it right before my eyes.
