Luna Ashworth thought she had the perfect life-devoted mate to Alpha Marcus Kane, respected Luna of the Silvermoon Pack, and finally pregnant with the heir they'd tried for years to conceive. Until she discovered Marcus in bed with her own sister. "You were always just the interim," he tells her coldly. "Victoria carries the true heir." But Marcus's betrayal is only the beginning. When Luna's world shatters, so does the artificial spell that's been suppressing her true nature for three years. She isn't just a healer-she's the last awakening Moon Priestess, and the Alpha Council has been hunting her kind to extinction. Now Luna is running for her life, pregnant and powerless, with only the dangerous Alpha King Adrian Blackthorne as her protector. But when she discovers the conspiracy goes deeper than she ever imagined-and that Victoria has been hiding the same deadly secret-Luna must choose between the safety she's always craved and the power that could destroy everything. Some betrayals can't be forgiven. Some powers can't be contained. And some women were never meant to be caged. "The Moon Goddess is awakening. And she's done playing nice"

The Alpha's Discarded Mate Chapter 1 Perfect Life, Perfect Lie

Luna's POV

"Luna, you need to eat something," Marcus said, his voice carrying that Alpha tone that usually made my knees weak. Today it just made my stomach churn harder.

"I can't keep anything down," I muttered, pushing the plate of eggs away from me. The smell alone made bile rise in my throat.

Marcus sighed, running his hand through his dark hair-the same gesture that used to make my heart flutter. Now it just looked impatient. "The pack doctor said morning sickness should be getting better by now. You're almost four months along."

Four months. Four months of carrying the child I'd dreamed about for three years. The heir that would finally prove I belonged here, that I was worthy of being Luna of the Silvermoon Pack.

"Maybe I should see Dr. Hendricks again," I suggested, wrapping my silk robe tighter around my still-flat stomach.

"No." Marcus's response was sharp, final. "He's busy with more important pack matters. This is normal."

More important than his pregnant mate? I bit back the words. Marcus had been distant lately, always busy with "pack business" that somehow never included me anymore. Gone were the days when he'd seek my counsel on everything, when he'd tell me I was his partner in leading our people.

"Where are you going today?" I asked, trying to sound casual as he adjusted his tie.

"Council meeting with the Northern Territories. Alpha business." He kissed my forehead absently, the way you'd kiss a child. "Stay in bed. Rest."

I wanted to remind him that I used to attend council meetings, that before our mating ceremony I'd been the head healer of my birth pack. But pregnant Luna apparently meant fragile Luna, meant useless Luna.

After Marcus left, I wandered through our massive house feeling like a ghost. The pack members who used to greet me warmly now barely met my eyes. Even Rosalind, Marcus's mother, had been colder than usual.

"Luna needs to understand her place," I'd overheard her telling her daughter Lydia last week. "Being pregnant doesn't make her any less common-born."

Common-born. After three years, I was still just the healer's daughter who got lucky enough to catch the Alpha's eye. Never mind that I'd helped build this pack's reputation, that I'd saved dozens of lives, that I'd loved Marcus with everything I had.

My phone buzzed with a text from my sister Celeste: "Missing you! Can't wait to see you at dinner tonight. Have news to share!"

At least Celeste still treated me like family. She'd been visiting more often lately, which meant everything to me when I felt so isolated. My sweet little sister who'd always looked up to me, who'd been so excited when I became Luna.

I spent the afternoon in what used to be my office, trying to organize medical supplies. But even that felt hollow now. Marcus had quietly reassigned most of my healing duties to other pack members, claiming I needed to focus on "growing our child."

By evening, I'd managed to keep down some crackers and was feeling slightly more human. Marcus still wasn't home when Celeste arrived for dinner, looking radiant in a flowing blue dress that made her silver-blonde hair glow.

"You look beautiful," I said, hugging her. She'd always been the prettier sister, the one who could have had any Alpha she wanted.

"Thank you," she said, her smile seeming different somehow. Secretive. "Is Marcus joining us?"

"He's at a council meeting. You know how it is."

"Actually, I don't think he is." Celeste's voice was soft, almost pitying. "Luna, there's something I need to tell you. Something you deserve to know."

My blood went cold. "What are you talking about?"

"I saw Marcus today. He wasn't at any council meeting." She reached for my hands, her touch surprisingly cold. "He was at the Moonlight Hotel on Fifth Street."

The world tilted. "That's impossible. He said-"

"I know what he said." Celeste's eyes filled with what looked like tears. "Luna, I'm so sorry. He wasn't alone."

The room spun around me. "You're lying."

"I wish I was." She pulled out her phone, and my heart shattered into a million pieces.

There on her screen was a photo of Marcus entering the hotel with a woman. A pregnant woman with long auburn hair and a familiar laugh.

Someone who looked exactly like me, but wasn't me.

"Who is she?" I whispered.

Celeste's grip on my hands tightened. "Luna, I'm so sorry. I didn't know how to tell you."

But I already knew. Deep in my bones, I already knew my perfect life was about to become my perfect nightmare

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."

I had been a wife for exactly six hours when I woke up to the sound of my husband’s heavy breathing. In the dim moonlight of our bridal suite, I watched Hardin, the man I had adored for years, intertwined with my sister Carissa on the chaise lounge. The betrayal didn't come with an apology. Hardin stood up, unashamed, and sneered at me. "You're awake? Get out, you frumpy mute." Carissa huddled under a throw, her fake tears already welling up as she played the victim. They didn't just want me gone; they wanted me erased to protect their reputations. When I refused to move, my world collapsed. My father didn't offer a shoulder to cry on; he threatened to have me committed to a mental asylum to save his business merger. "You're a disgrace," he bellowed, while the guards stood ready to drag me away. They had spent my life treating me like a stuttering, submissive pawn, and now they were done with me. I felt a blinding pain in my skull, a fracture that should have broken me. But instead of tears, something dormant and lethal flickered to life. The terrified girl who walked down the aisle earlier that day simply ceased to exist. In her place, a clinical system—the Valkyrie Protocol—booted up. My racing heart plummeted to a steady sixty beats per minute. I didn't scream. I stood up, my spine straightening for the first time in twenty years, and looked at Hardin with the detachment of a surgeon looking at a tumor. "Correction," I said, my voice stripped of its stutter. "You're in my light." By dawn, I had drained my father's accounts, vanished into a storm, and found a bleeding Crown Prince in a hidden safehouse. They thought they had broken a mute girl. They didn't realize they had just activated their own destruction.

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.
