I was nine months pregnant, expecting to deliver my baby in a week, when I received a receipt from the “Moonlight Resort” – the most luxurious hotel in the territory, along with a
small note.
Hope you and your mate had an amazing night.”

My mate of seven years, Dominic Blackwood, was here again with his mistress at the place where we spent our first night together.
The first time was on the day I miscarried two years ago.
Just then, an anonymous message appeared on my phone:
“Last night we had sex in your mating suite.”
Multiple photos and two videos were attached.
I felt numb, tears streaming down my face as I clicked on one of them.
“You’re the only one I love. I’ll reject my bond with Luna Reyna and mark you instead.” I closed my eyes, hearing my mate’s recorded confession.
Message after message flooded my screen.
“Now you know the truth.”
“I am Dominic’s true love.”
“All those nights he claimed to be patrolling the borders? He was in my

The latest showed Victoria sitting on a man’s lap, kissing him passionately.
The caption read:
“January 23rd the day when he first saw me two years ago and it was love at first sight.”
January 23rd was my birthday.
I laughed bitterly as tears threatened to fall.

As I scrolled, I noticed a pattern Alpha Dominic’s face wasn’t visible in any photo, but I could identify him instantly. After all, I was the one who gifted him that collection of silver wolf pendants he always wore.
My hands froze as I came across one particular photo.
A woman embracing a male, showing off her moonstone ring.
The background was decorated with wolf’s bane flowers, with the full moon glowing bright in the night sky.
The caption made my blood run cold.
“March 19: He asked me to be his Luna and I said yes!”

A year ago, this was the day I lost our pup.
I remember calling Dominic repeatedly, but he never answered. When I texted that I was in the hospital, he finally called back irritably, saying I should stop trying to get his attention with fake emergencies, before hanging up.
I remember watching them take away my lifeless pup, the shock leaving me bedridden for over two months.
When Victoria’s next message arrived, my heart shattered completely.
An ultrasound image and a healer’s prescription were attached, along with a single line:
“I’m carrying Dominic’s heir.”
The attached video captured my mate’s loving voice meant for his mistress.
“You’re… you’re pregnant?” Dominic stared at Victoria in elation. When she nodded, he
lifted her up joyfully before marking her neck.
“I’ll reject Reyna as soon as she gives me a son. Then we can start our family! Two powerful
heirs!”
I had to replay the video multiple times before the reality sank in.
Clutching my chest, feeling my childhood sweetheart and true mate’s betrayal pierce my
heart, I struggled to breathe.
While I sat on the floor trying to hold myself together, the front door opened as Dominic
returned home.
“Reyna?” He called out several times before frowning and illuminating the room with his
power.
When he couldn’t find me downstairs, he entered our bedroom only to see me sitting silently in a dark corner, tears glistening in my eyes.
“Reyna? Are you alright?”
When he gripped my shoulders, trying to help me up, I had to fight the urge to push him away with my wolf’s strength.
“You’re due any day now, you need to be more careful. Why are you sitting in the dark? What if you’d fallen?”
“Where were you until now?” Taken aback by my direct question, Dominic quickly fabricated an excuse.
“Love, I was discussing border patrols with Beta Marcus.”

“Really? My friend saw you by the river today buying hot chocolate.” Dominic paled momentarily before composing himself.
“So what? I can’t get something to drink? Why are you having me watched?!” The guilt in

“I just asked because I wanted some hot chocolate too.”
