The Broken Luna Unbound: Goodbye to My Alpha’s Seven-Year Deception Novel

Chapter 1 When I regained consciousness , the pain between my legs was excruciating .

The harsh scent of wolfsbane and silver infused antiseptic assaulted my heightened senses .

With trembling hands , I reached beneath the hospital blanket .

My belly was flat .

Empty .

My pup our pup was gone .

My wolf howled in anguish within me but I couldnt even find the strength to echo her cry .

Only tears flowed uncontrollably down my cheeks .

As a pup , I nearly drowned in the moonlit river during a pack hunt .

The hypothermia amaged my wolfs connection to the moon my body temperature never fully recovered , my transformations became erratic and painful during the full moons , and pack healers .

warned that this unstable shifting might prevent me from ever carrying a pup to term .

The moonlight that should strengthen our kind now seemed to weaken my wolf instead .

But Thorne adored pups .

After our mating ceremony , I began the ancient fertility rituals .

For years , I never missed a session with the pack healer , choking down bitter herbs and undergoing painful treatments that made even my wolf whimper .

No matter how busy he was with pack duties , Thorne always accompanied me to the healers den .

My mate shouldnt face this alone , hed growl protectively .

When the silver tipped needles pierced my skin during the treatments , hed bare his fangs at the healer , demanding they be gentler .

On nights when the herbs made me too sick to eat , hed wrap his warm body around mine , his tears hot against my neck as our wolves grieved together .

Well stop , hed whisper , his voice rough with emotion .

No more treatments .

I just need you .

But I persevered , dreaming of the day wed welcome our own little pup into the pack .

The night I deepfirmed my pregnancy , Thorne who never touched wolfsbane wine drank deeply in celebration .

He held me close , his usual stoic Alpha demeanor replaced by joyful , almost puppy like laughter .

I thought our packs future had never looked brighter .

Our small family would finally be complete .

Chapter 2 My eyes burned as I gazed at Thorne , slumped beside my hospital bed .

Even in rest , his alpha presence was unmistakable the sharp , noble features of both his human and wolf forms evident in his face .

At just 35 , hed become one of the youngest Alpha leaders of a major pack in the Northern Territories , his exceptional ability to bridge the gap between wolf and human worlds making him legendary among our kind .

Our life together had been simple but sweet , filled with the quiet joy of mate bonds , until Silvana joined our pack .

She was different a rare pure blooded Arctic wolf shifter .

Thorne praised her strength , her unique abilities , her potential to strengthen our bloodline .

During pack gatherings and hunt ceremonies , he spoke of her often , his eyes shining with an admiration Id never seen before .

I told myself it was just pack politics after all , pure blooded Arctic wolves were rare and valuable to any pack .

Even when my wolf bristled with unease , I suppressed her instincts .

He was our Alpha , and pack loyalty ran deeper than personal feelings .

Last night , Thorne returned home , his usual powerful aura dimmed with exhaustion .

He held me close , his wolfs distress bleeding through their shared bond .

Before I could offer comfort , he spoke : My Luna , we need to wait for our pup .

My heart froze .

Wed just seen the pack healer , who confirmed our pup was strong , their tiny wolf spirit already flickering within me .

His arms tightened around me as he explained : Silvana has silver sickness .

She wont survive the next moon cycle .

Her son , Hunter … she fears for his future .

I knew of Hunter a rare throwback to the ancient bloodlines .

Despite my grief for Silvana , I offered : We can raise both pups together , as pack .

She wont accept that , his voice roughened with emotion .

She fears her son will be treated as lesser than our blood pup .

He nuzzled my neck , a wolfs gesture of comfort : Once Hunter finds his mate and ntinues the bloodline , we can have our pups .

Your body will be stronger then .

recoiled , my wolf howling in protest .

This is our pup our blood ! How could you choose .

anothers child over our own ? Thornes eyes flashed alpha gold , his voice turning to ice : The pup hasnt formed its wolf spirit yet .

It has no pack rights .

Then Ill leave the pack ! I snarled .

Ill raise our pup alone ! But I never got the chance .

He used his Alpha command something hed sworn never to do to me and everything went dark .

When I woke , our pup was gone .
