When the wedding reached the ring exchange, a shocking video suddenly played on the banquet hall’s giant screen—footage of me being kidnapped and humiliated. “You filthy whore, how you dare to dream of becoming my Luna?” “I, Alpha Roderick Padilla, reject you, Adele Franklin, as my mate.” My fate mate—Alpha Roderick—renounced me on the spot and turned to slip the ring onto my bridesmaid Jessica Weaver’s finger instead. Amidst the jeers and scorn of the crowd, I fell from the red carpet. Jessica’s brother, the rogue Alpha Dwayne, silenced the room with a gunshot. Then, holding 999 roses, he dropped to one knee. “Adele Franklin, will you accept me, Dwayne Stokes, as your mate?” The crowd watched, stunned, as I searched his face for answers. Was this pity? Overcome with emotions I couldn’t yet name, I nodded. “Yes I do.”. Three years passed. The day our IVF attempt succeeded. I was finally carrying our pup, the heir he wanted so badly. My heart swelled with excitement as I imagined telling him the news. But fate had one more betrayal to serve me. “Alpha, you really played it smart,” one of his lieutenants said, chuckling. “If you hadn’t leaked Adele’s kidnapping and rape video at the wedding, Miss Jessica wouldn’t have been able to marry into the Blue Moon Pack.” I froze, my hand clutching the doorframe for support. Alpha Dwayne’s reply was chilling. “A pack like Blue Moon, obsessed with honor, would never take a tainted woman as their Luna. The moment Adele was ruined, Jessica had the perfect excuse to take her place.” The lieutenant hesitated. “But Miss Jessica is already the Luna of Blue Moon Pack. Why bother you marrying a used-up woman like Adele?” Alpha Dwayne’s laugh was cold, devoid of any warmth. “Jessica’s afraid of pain,” he said nonchalantly. “Might as well use Adele’s womb to give her a puppy. Once she gives birth to Blue Moon Pack’s next Alpha heir, Jessica’s position as Luna will be even more secure.” The laughter that followed felt like daggers piercing my soul. I stumbled back, my heart shattering into pieces. Every tender moment, every word of affection—it was all a lie. I was nothing more than a pawn in their twisted game. Wiping away my tears, I clenched my fists. I wouldn’t let them win. With trembling hands, I dialed a number I never thought I’d call. A deep, gravelly voice answered. “Rogue Alpha Elliot speaking.” I took a deep breath, steadying my voice. “I have a twenty-billion-dollar deal in my hands,” I said, my tone icy. “You in?”
“Alpha, you’re the smartest. Swapping that woman’s vitamins for abortion pills—she lost six pups in a row, and she still thinks it’s her own fault. She couldn’t conceive and had to go for IVF. If she ever found out that the embryo in the test tube had long been switched to Jessica and Alpha Roderick’s pup, she’d probably die of anger.” “What does her anger have to do with me? Once she gives birth to the pup, I’ll find some excuse to say it died. She’ll just think she wasn’t able to keep it. Being able to pave the way for Jessica’s happiness is her honor.” Alpha Dwayne tossed the lighter onto the table, stood up, and warned the people around him. “Not a single word of today’s conversation leaves this room. I need her to obediently give birth to this pup.” Beta Byron patted his chest with a laugh. “Alpha, don’t worry. That woman is dumb as hell. We call her ‘Luna,’ and she really thinks she’s the Rogue Luna. She brings us food and drinks every day, completely unaware that the guys who raped her ordeal were handpicked by me.” Someone burst into laughter. “Byron, you’re too wicked. Why didn’t you pick me back then? I’d have loved to get a taste…” A fruit knife suddenly flew across the room and stabbed into the floor between the man’s legs. a loud thunk startled everyone. The man who had been joking turned pale with fear. Alpha Dwayne stood there, his cold gaze fixed on the man. “Did I ever say Adele wasn’t my Rogue Luna? Anyone who dares to bring that up again, I’ll make sure you never talk again.” The man blanched, nodding quickly. “Understood, Alpha.” A nervous chuckle broke the tension. “Alpha, I don’t think you’re completely indifferent to her. That woman loves you to death. Aren’t you afraid she’ll leave if she finds out the truth one day?” Alpha Dwayne scoffed indifferently. “Worst case scenario, I’ll just give her another pup through IVF. I’ll take care of her for a lifetime. A filthy, love-blind fool—just a few sweet words, and she’ll come crawling back to me like a dog.” The room erupted into laughter again. At that moment, standing in the doorway, I felt my world shatter. My chest ached, my knees wobbled, and the weight of betrayal pressed down on me like a mountain. Before I could think, before the tears welling in my eyes could spill over, I turned and bolted down the stairs. The packhouse was alive with the usual noise—wolves chatting, laughing, and going about their business. None of them noticed me as I stumbled into the Bar counter, grabbed the nearest bottle of liquor, and poured myself a glass. The first gulp burned like fire, scorching my throat and numbing my senses. Tears streamed uncontrollably down my face. I clutched my chest, my mind replaying the soul-crushing words I had just overheard. A week before my wedding, I was kidnapped， Raped, and abused which lasted a whole day and night. Alpha Roderick, my fiancé, held my hand afterward, “My Adele,I’ll still marry you, We’re fate mate.” But, Lies. All of it. On our wedding day, as I stood there in my wedding dress, holding on to hope, the world crumbled beneath me. The screen lit up, and there it was—my humiliation, my torture, playing out in front of hundreds of eyes. “You filthy whore,” Alpha Roderick’s voice boomed over the speakers, “How dare you dream of becoming my Luna?” “I, Alpha Roderick Padilla, reject you, Adele Franklin, as my mate.” Yet, that wasn’t enough.He turned and walked to my side, taking the hand of my best friend—my bridesmaid, Jessica. Leading her to the center of the stage, he declared, “Only Jessica Weaver is worthy of being the Luna of our Blue Moon Pack.” Gasps filled the room. Whispers turned to laughter. I was branded, judged, and abandoned all at once. But before I could collapse under the weight of it all, the doors slammed open, and in strode Alpha Dwayne Stokes, the notorious Rogue Alpha. He didn’t waste a second. One shot shattered the screen, silencing the room. Then, he strode up to me, pulled me into his arms, and shielded me from the scorn. The room fell into silence, broken only by Alpha Dwayne’s commanding voice. “Does anyone else have something to say?” No one dared to speak. Then, he lifted the massive bouquet of 999 roses from his shoulder and held them out to me. Dropping to one knee, he looked up, his golden eyes unwavering. “Adele Franklin, will you accept me, Dwayne Stokes, as your mate?” What was I supposed to say? My heart was shattered, my pride crushed. Yet his presence was the only anchor I had left. I nodded. “Yes I do.” Yet now, I learned that everything he had done was just to pave the way for Jessica. Alpha Dwayne’s voice was as warm and deceitful as ever, cutting through my thoughts. “Who dared to make my Luna cry?” he roared, pulling me into his arms. “I’ll blow their heads off.” The room fell into a deathly silence. Alpha Dwayne pulled a silver dagger from his belt and pressed it into my trembling hand. His sharp gaze swept across the room. “Adele, you are my Rogue Luna. If you don’t like anyone here, use this dagger and kill them. They won’t fight back. I will always support you.” He cast a glance at the gathered men. They trembled like leaves in the wind, yet none dared to move. In Mississippi, Alpha Dwayne ruled one of the two largest rogue dens. No one dared to cross him. As I gripped the dagger and stepped toward Beta Byron, I halted. His eyes widened in fear, his face drained of color. His words— ‘I personally chose the men who raped her.’ —echoed in my ears like an unrelenting curse. My chest heaved violently, my vision turned red. Just as the dagger was about to pierce Beta Byron’s heart— A strong hand clamped around mine, stopping me cold.
“Adele, the doctor said your IVF was successful. You shouldn’t see blood—it might scare the pup.” He coaxed me gently, his eyes full of concern without a hint of pretense. I almost wanted to applaud his impeccable acting. Sensing my off mood, Alpha Dwayne noticed the wine glass in front of me. He squeezed my palm and asked cautiously, “Adele, how long have you been here? Why didn’t you come upstairs to find me?” His tone was laced with careful probing. I lowered my eyes and said indifferently, “You men were discussing business upstairs, with all that smoke and heat. I don’t like it.” Relief washed over his face. He stroked my hair as if I were some fragile porcelain doll, then gestured to the maid. “Bring Luna some hangover tea.” The maid nodded and disappeared for a moment, returning with a steaming cup. The moment she placed the tray on the table— crack! My entire world slowed. Thud. Thud. In an instant, the maid’s head separated from her body. Her wide, unblinking eyes rolled across the floor, stopping at my feet with a dull sound that made my ears ring. The metallic scent of blood filled the air. Warm droplets splattered across my face. Then, like a puppet with its strings cut, the maid collapsed, lifeless. For a moment, I couldn’t even comprehend what had just happened. Alpha Dwayne pulled a handkerchief from his suit pocket and carefully wiped the blood from my face. My stomach twisted violently. One of his hands remained in its wolf form, claws dripping with fresh blood. The casual gentleness in his movements sent chills down my spine. He lifted the cup to my lips. “Drink.” My hands trembled so hard that I couldn’t even hold the cup. He tilted it slightly, letting the warm liquid slip down my throat. I swallowed mechanically. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Beta Byron signal for the body to be removed. Two enforcers dragged the maid’s body and head away, leaving two long streak of blood across the floor. I barely managed to whisper, “why…” “If she couldn’t even stop my Luna from drinking while pregnant,” he said, his tone disturbingly calm, “then she was harming my pup. She didn’t deserve to live.” I stared into his cruel, merciless eyes. My stomach churned violently.Alpha Dwayne gently caressed my face. “It’s all my fault for letting you suffer so much. Now that we finally have a pup, you must not touch alcohol anymore.” “This pup must be born healthy, no matter what. Understand?” I took several deep breaths before forcing a weak smile. “Okay.” But my heart was freezing over. In three years of marriage, I had been pregnant six times—each one ending in miscarriage for no reason. After so many, it became habitual. Six months ago, the doctor declared that I could never conceive again. Alpha Dwayne had held me tenderly, saying he didn’t care if we had children as long as I was happy and healthy. I had never stopped blaming myself for not being able to give him a child. Desperate, I chose the painful path of IVF. My stomach was riddled with needle marks, my body stuffed with hormone pills. I endured all that suffering—only to realize it was all for Jessica’s sake. Just because she said she was afraid of pain, I was forced to give up my right to be a mother and reduced to a breeding machine. “What’s wrong? You look pale. Are you feeling unwell? I’ll call the doctor right away.” “I’m fine, just a little morning sickness.” Alpha Dwayne’s eyes turned red with distress. He gently stroked my face. “Adele, you’ve suffered. I just wish I could bear it for you. Our wedding was rushed, so I ordered your favorite wedding gown to be flown in. Before your belly grows, I’ll take you to try it on tomorrow.” I stared at him—such deep, affectionate eyes. How many times had he fooled me like this? If he knew I had no intention of giving birth to this child, I would probably end up just like that maid. I curled my lips slightly. “I’ll rest in my room. You guys talk.” As soon as I entered the bedroom, I rushed to the bathroom, vomiting until my stomach twisted into knots. Tears streamed down my face. The physical pain was nothing compared to the agony in my heart. It took me a long time to recover. When I walked out, I noticed Alpha Dwayne’s phone left on the coffee table. As if possessed, I picked it up and entered Jessica’s birthday as the password. It unlocked instantly. The wallpaper was a photo of Jessica leaning against his shoulder, smiling brightly. I scrolled through the gallery. Over 1,000 photos. In every single one, Jessica was there. Each documenting a different phase of her life. The name’s on the folders: “My beloved.” In their chat history, I found that Alpha Dwayne had once risked his life to hijack the Alpha King’s Luna crown overnight. I suddenly recalled that day—he and his rogue wolf pack had been surrounded by the Alpha King’s army. It was only because I gave up my mother’s only keepsake, a priceless ancestral ruby necklace, that I managed to get him back. And the reason? Jessica had casually mentioned wanting to feel like an Alpha Luna on her 23th birthday. Tears dripped onto the screen, my heart wrenching in pain. Not because of years of deception. But because I had sacrificed the only thing my mother left me—for a devil who had ruined my life. Through my blurred vision, I noticed something on Jessica’s right shoulder—a crescent moon birthmark. My eyes widened in shock. I had the exact same birthmark on the same spot. I remembered when I first met Jessica—she didn’t have it. It was only after I told her a story about rescuing a rogue covered in blood while volunteering as a doctor in the rogue den that she started to distance herself from me. Not long after, she became Alpha Dwayne’s adopted sister. Alpha Dwayne had once said Jessica had saved his life. But Jessica was selfish and cowardly. She would never step foot in a war-torn rogue den—she despised and ridiculed them. My cold fingertips curled into my palm as a ridiculous yet horrifying thought took shape in my mind. So that’s how it is… I collapsed onto the floor, laughing and crying at the same time.
