I'm lying here, my body burning from within as the wolfsbane spreads through my veins. Meanwhile, my Alpha mate, Ryan, is giving the antidote I discovered to his childhood sweetheart, Vivian.With what little strength remains, I beg him to spare just a portion of the cure—enough to keep me alive for a few more days while I search for another remedy.Ryan doesn't even glance my way. He snarls, "I can't believe you're faking illness when Vivian is fighting for her life! Control your jealousy before I lose all respect for you!"Under his command, I'm confined to my quarters to "contemplate my sins."In the end, the wolfsbane consumes me completely. When Ryan discovers what he's done, he digs my grave with his own hands, howling with regret that comes too late.

### Chapter 1: Chapter-1

Ryan lay on the ground for a long time, moonlight washing over his handsome face.Suddenly, I remembered we had once lain together like this by the lake on our first date.That night, the moon had been even brighter. Ryan had intertwined his fingers with mine, turned to face me, and asked, "Tiana, will you be my Luna?"I had believed he loved me. But it had only taken three years for that love to dissolve. His feelings were far too fleeting.Ryan's fingers twitched, and I knew he was recalling the same moment. Then, he reached out with his claws and scraped away the words on my tombstone, carving new ones in their place."Ryan and his mate, Tiana, rest here together."His claws tore open against the rough stone, blood dripping from his fingers, but he ignored the pain. Slowly, he lay down in the grave he had just excavated.A satisfied smile crossed his lips as he injected himself with a lethal dose of wolfsbane. His pupils contracted sharply, his breathing grew labored, and his body c

Ryan remained in this pitiful state for many weeks, until he began leaving the house frequently, returning only after several hours.My spectral form had weakened so much that I could no longer withstand direct sunlight. During daylight hours, I couldn't follow him. So I waited until one night when he woke from a nightmare and slipped out.He made his way to Shadow Ridge Pack's cemetery.One tombstone bore my name, with an inscription that read, "Tiana Ravenwood, Luna of Shadow Ridge Pack's Alpha, Leo, rests here in peace."So this was what Ryan had been searching for. The result wasn't what he wanted. His rage peaked, while I felt only bitterness.Leo and I had never truly been mates. We both knew we couldn't be together, so we had carefully guarded our feelings.Then I met Ryan, and whatever affection I held for Leo completely faded.If I had wronged anyone in my life, it was Leo. He had always treated me with unconditional kindness, yet I had never returned it equally.Standing befo

Vivian barely made it beyond pack borders before encountering the rogue werewolves who had been waiting for her. Ryan had placed a bounty on them, and they were badly injured.Seeking revenge, they tore her apart. Her screams echoed for a long time.When I heard the news, I felt little satisfaction.I knew that all the cruel things she had done were merely her way of displaying Ryan's love for her. But he didn't truly love either of us. He only loved himself.He barely acknowledged Vivian's death and didn't even mention arranging a burial. He was too consumed with discovering where my body had gone.But I was already dead. Even if he found me, what difference would it make?He finally remembered the corpse Leo had carried that day. He sent messengers to inquire where I had been buried. While waiting for a response, he paced anxiously.Leo couldn't care less about Ryan's desperation. He deliberately prolonged his answer until Ryan was ready to confront him personally before finally send

The healer's assistant was still somewhat afraid of Ryan. After speaking those words, he quickly departed.Ryan remained rooted to the spot, too stunned to even react to the assistant's disrespect.Perhaps he suddenly recalled the mind link I had desperately initiated, begging him for help. Perhaps he remembered the familiar scars on my lifeless body that day.Was he feeling sorrow? Disbelief? Regret?Who knew?A long time passed before he finally bolted from the infirmary. But his destination was Vivian's residence.I was wrong again. I thought he would at least feel guilty, but even my death couldn't make him forget about Vivian for a single moment.Her door was slightly ajar, and clear voices carried from inside."I already gave you what you wanted! Stop bothering me! I'll call the enforcers!"Hearing distress in her tone, Ryan instinctively moved to rush in and protect her. But the next words froze him in place."Who doesn't know that everything you've given us was just scraps you

Vivian spoke softly, "Can't we leave the past behind and start anew? Ryan, I don't mind that you took a Luna before me, just as I hope you won't hold it against me that I once left you."We both know this was never betrayal—we love each other. We were always meant to be together."She always knew exactly how to win Ryan over.In comparison, no matter how carefully I chose my words to calm his anger, he never paid attention. It was clear where his heart truly resided.Yet, I had clung to the rare moments of tenderness he'd shown me, only to finally see his true nature when I was already dead.He had saved all his kindness and warmth for Vivian. That explained why he was always so cruel to me.The pain in my heart had long since gone numb.Whatever. Vivian could say whatever she wanted about me, and Ryan could hate me all he wanted. I no longer cared."This isn't the time to discuss this," Ryan said, gently pushing her away. "You should rest."He left without noticing the flash of resent

After a month of recovery in the infirmary, it was Ryan who came to escort Vivian home.Vivian's friends and family crowded the room, their eyes widening with excitement the moment Ryan arrived."It's the Alpha of Silver Moon Pack!""He must truly care for Vivian to arrive so early.""When will she become his Luna? I can't wait!"Vivian blushed while telling them to stop. Then she glanced at Ryan and whispered, "Ryan already has a Luna. Don't say such things, or she'll be upset with me again."A pack member scoffed. "Vivian, you're too kind. If she hadn't interfered, you would've been our Luna long ago. Ryan loves you most. She's the intruder."She's been targeting you since day one. Why hasn't she given up? She's petty and unfit to be Luna!"Listening to them, I felt nothing but hollow disbelief.It was Ryan who found me first, recognizing our mate bond immediately. He was the one who requested to mark me, who pleaded with me to be his Luna.If I made a mistake, it was loving Ryan.An

Ryan returned with the medicine just in time to see my stepbrother Leo Ravenwood, in his massive black wolf form, charging toward him.Leo nearly knocked him over. Ryan stumbled back and cursed.But Leo couldn't hear anything anymore. He stood before my corpse, his amber eyes filled with tears. He r
