Chapter 4
It’s a very important social occasion at this time of year when the wolves throw a grand party that only the Alpha and Luna of each pack can attend,” Lorik stated.
I hit it on the head. “You should probably get Lorcia. She’s going to be your Luna soon.”
Lorik seemed a little annoyed. “We haven’t completely broken MATE ties. My Luna is still you, not Lorcia.”
I shook my head. “I’m not obliged to play ‘Model Alpha and Luna‘ with you anymore, Lorik.”
Lorik, on the other end of the line, was clearly dismayed by my defiance.
I hung up. It was the first time I had ever rejected Lorik. Once upon a time I’d always responded to whatever he said, and I could hear that he was angry at me for refusing, but I felt a sense of excitement and freedom that I’d never felt before.
Maurice came out and gently hugged me. I didn’t know how much he had heard, but he remained sweet and didn’t ask anything, just comforted me.
Do you need help?” he asked.
I shook my head. “No, thank you. You’ve helped me enough.”
I had no money with me when I left the pack. My savings were used to buy a third–anniversary present for Lorik. I was too embarrassed to ask Maurice for a loan.
said goodbye to Maurice and left the piano shop, heading to a jewelry shop with a heavy heart. I intended to sell my wedding ring, the symbol of a promise now shattered. Each step was a battle against hesitation and doubt, memories flooding my mind. Pain and resolve intertwined as I approached the shop, knowing I needed to let go to heal. This act felt like closing a chapter, a necessary step to reclaim my life and move forward.
The jeweler examined the ring with growing admiration.”
This is a truly exquisite piece,” he declared, his voice filled with genuine awe. As he held it other staff gathered around, their eyes widening at its beauty.

Their surprised glances shifted to me, unspoken questions hanging in the air about why I was parting with such a treasure.

The room was charged with a mix of admiration and curiosity, amplifying the bittersweet weight of my decision.
“Are
you sure you want to sell your wedding ring?” one of them asked, repeatedly confirming
I nodded. “Yes, I’m sure.”
I was surprised to find that the ring was far more expensive than I had imagined.
Collecting the money, I realized that Lorik had been very generous with his money.
All the gifts and jewelry he gave me were top of the range and expensive. The only thing he never gave me was love,
With the money, I rented a house near the piano shop, ready to start a new life.
That night, I lay in a strange bed, struggling to sleep. Outside the window was a full moon.
I seemed to feel some kind of call, and suddenly, I felt a pain in
Ah.. Something was awakening.
my abdomen.
As the full moon hung high in the midnight sky, its silvery light casting eerie shadows through my window, a sudden, searing pain erupted in my abdomen, knocking the breath out of me.
I collapsed onto the floor, writhing as if a thousand needles were piercing my veins.
My bones felt like they were shattering and reforming, every fiber of my being caught in a whirlwind of agony and power.
My vision blurred, replaced by flashes of silver and black, and a haunting howl echoed in my ears.
Just when I thought I couldn’t endure it any longer, the pain subsided, replaced by an overwhelming sense of strength and clarity.
In the silence that followed, a soft, soothing voice resonated in my mind. “Hello, Shirley. I’m Lena.”
My eyes snapped open, and through the haze of tears, I saw a reflection in the window: a magnificent black wolf with emerald eyes, staring back at me.
My wolf had awakened, and nothing would ever be the same again.
I couldn’t believe it. “Lena? You’re my wolf?”

Yes,” she said gently. “I’ve been with you all along, but I was poisoned with wolf venom to delay my appearance.
Because you have the direct lineage of the goddess Luna, my appearance was only delayed, not
destroyed.”
“I never knew I was poisoned,” I whispered. “I never knew I had a direct lineage to the Goddess
Luna.”
My family was always very hard on me. I’m the daughter of the Alpha of the Ghostpack, which is only a small to medium–sized pack.
But being the daughter of an Alpha shouldn’t be as shabby as I am. My parents preferred my sister and loathed me, and I never understood why.
They seemed like normal wolves, not special in any way.
The thought of almost losing Lena made me feel scared. But she gently comforted me. “I will always be by your side.
You will become an immensely powerful werewolf, and those who bullied you will regret it.”
Lena’s presence brought me more inspiration than ever before, I couldn’t sleep at all and switched on the lamp to start composing a new tune at my desk.
I was terrified that she would leave me again, like a small child who has just been given a precious toy and fears that this is just a beautiful dream.
Whenever I finished a line of notes, I would call out, ‘Lena, are you still there?‘ She responded with a gentle, ‘Yes, Shirley, I am.‘ It was so reassuring.
As I finished the last note, I began to hum the tune I had just written.
‘Is this the tune that was written for us?‘ Lena said in surprise, ‘It’s very nice, I like this tune a lot.
I had a feeling that the response from this tune was about to be far greater than the last tune for our wedding anniversary.
