The Contracted Luna

Fiona was never Blake’s destined mate. Five years ago, after Alpha Blake of the Bloodfang Pack was shattered by the rejection of his true mate, Jessica, Fiona accepted a contract arranged by the pack elders. As repayment for the protection Bloodfang once gave her, she became Blake’s contractual Luna—his caretaker, his stabilizer, his public mate, and the quiet shadow who kept his world from falling apart. For five years, Fiona gave everything the agreement required. She managed his home, soothed his temper, protected his dignity, and stood beside him while his heart remained chained to another woman. Everyone believed she loved him hopelessly. Blake believed it most of all. But Fiona never forgot the truth. Their bond was only a contract. When Jessica returns, free from her own failed marriage, Blake’s old obsession awakens. He ignores Fiona, humiliates her, and signs away their bond without even realizing what the document means. This time, Fiona does not beg, cry, or fight for a place that was never truly hers. She quietly ends the agreement, leaves Bloodfang behind, and reclaims the future she once sacrificed. Only after she is gone does Blake discover the cruelest truth: the devotion he took for granted was never love. It was duty. The woman he thought would always wait for him has become a Silver Moon Guardian—powerful, untouchable, and free. As Blake spirals into regret, Fiona rises into the life she was meant to live. Old debts are settled, buried wounds reopen, and every bond forged by obligation is tested by loss. But some mistakes cannot be undone. And some women, once freed, never look back.
