Elsa’s POV
The morning air in the training hall felt heavy, thick with whispers that vanished the moment I stepped inside. My Luna classes were supposed to start early, but even before the instructor arrived, I could feel the weight of curious eyes and hushed voices surrounding me like an invisible fog.
They weren’t whispering about my lessons.
They were whispering about her.
“Did you hear? The mistress is expecting the Alpha’s child.”
“Poor Luna… what a pity, she’s already losing her place.”
Every word pierced through me no matter how much I tried to ignore them. My heart felt tight, but I straightened my shoulders, refusing to let anyone see how deeply it hurt. I was the Luna. No matter what the rumors said, no one could take that from me—unless I let them.
