From Slave to Queen, Yet Never His Luna

Three years ago, I was the princess everyone admired in Silver Ridge Pack.Alpha Marcus and Luna Evelyn called me “The Moon’s Chosen.”Crown Prince Liam was my brother—he guarded me like his own life.Alpha Cole Braun, king of the wolf pack and a war hero drenched in glory, was my fiancé.Everyone said I was destined to become Cole’s Luna.Until one blood-awakening ritual shattered everything.I wasn’t my parents’ child; I didn’t even carry the Silver Ridge’s blood.The real “princess” was Lily.That day, they switched sides without hesitation.My mother smiled as she embraced Lily.My brother looked on coldly and pushed me off the Punishment Tower with his own hands.Cole stood at Lily’s side and told me I should “know my place.”They watched clearly as I was sentenced, exiled, and thrown into the Blood Wash Grounds.For three years, no one came for me.I went from a future Luna to the lowest omega cleaner, a slave.In the wind and snow, I washed blood, stripped flesh from bone, and handled the carcasses of beasts.I lived like a wolf who should never have existed.Until three years later—they came back.Alpha Marcus knelt before me, his voice trembling.“Come home with us… please?”Liam knelt through the night.“Nina, I regret it. Forgive your brother…”Cole came straight from the battle field, soaked in blood, his eyes red and wet.“Look at me. Just pity me one more time, will you?”I said nothing.Because my heart had already died during those three years.Later, another Alpha stood at my side.I was the only one in his eyes.I smiled.Those people I used to know only dared to watch from afar.They didn’t even dare to come close.
