After Ten - Year Contracted Luna Expires, the Alpha Is Overcome With Heartbreak.

The year of the great famine was a time of unrelenting despair.

My mother, the light of my life, was on the brink of death.

In a moment of sheer desperation, I was approached by Alpha Daniel's mother.

She offered me a deal.

"Become Luna for ten years, and your mother will be saved," .

I agreed, not knowing the true extent of the sacrifice I was about to make.

It was only later that I discovered the real reason behind her offer. I was a mere substitute.

I resembled Snow, the woman Alpha Daniel had loved with a passion that burned bright and fierce. But Snow had betrayed him, running off with another man and bearing his child.

And so, I was brought in, a stand - in,. The day of my wedding was a farce. The grand hall was filled with the laughter and chatter of the pack.

From that moment on, our marriage was a living nightmare.

Over the next ten years, he took concubine after concubine, filling the castle with the sounds of their laughter and their whispers.

And when the day of my child's birth arrived I lay in the birthing chamber, screaming in agony, while Alpha Daniel was in the arms of another woman, lost in a world of pleasure.

Despite my best efforts, I could not save my child.

And when my contract with Sara finally expired, I did not hesitate. I gathered my mother, who had miraculously survived the famine, and we left that place of pain and suffering behind.

It was only later that Alpha Daniel discovered the truth. He learned of Snow's betrayal, of the lies that had been told.

But by then, it was too late.
