Everyone believed I was the luckiest woman alive—blessed by the Moon Goddess and cherished by Ryan, the most powerful Alpha.
It wasn't until the eve of our grand bonding ceremony that the truth finally shattered my world.
His relentless pursuit and "devotion" were nothing but a calculated scheme. I was never the love of his life; I was merely a seat-filler, a placeholder meant to be discarded so his true love—my own sister, Lina—could take her rightful place. His "love at first sight" was a ploy; his life-risking sacrifices were merely a performance to win her smile.
While the pack waited to cheer for their "perfect Luna" at the altar, I chose the only path that mattered: I vanished. I left that den of lies and never looked back.
I escaped to a remote, untouched island. There, I built a new life, surrounded by those who would never betray me.
Five years later, the Alpha who once ruled with arrogance has spent every waking moment frantically searching for me.
When he finally knelt at the gates of my sanctuary, begging for a second chance, I didn't open the door. I watched him from behind the barrier, cold and unmoved.
Ryan, you’ve made a mistake. When you had me, you cast me aside like dirt. Now that I’m gone, I am far beyond your reach.
On this island—my island—I don't belong to anyone. I only belong to myself. As for you? Stay out of my life, forever.
