Gideon halted abruptly, alarm flashing across his face as He followed Angela’s gaze upward.Angela blinked slowly at the glittering chandelier hanging above her. It had stopped falling.A victorious laugh escaped her lips. She loosened her clenched fist, uncurling her fingers one by one.It worked. She had caught it with her magic.“What’s wrong with her?”Whispers rippled through the crowd at their Luna’s strange behavior. People stared at her sprawled form on the floor, oblivious to what had just happened. But Angela didn't care. No one had been hurt.But as she pushed herself up, the chandelier lights flickered violently again. Her smile faded. Confused, she looked up.Then her eyes widened in horror when the chandelier abruptly dropped again, directly on her making her numb. “ANGELA!”Gideon’s roar shook the hall. He lunged forward and yanked her into his arms. Half a second later, the chandelier exploded against the floor.Screams pierced the air as guests stumbled backward, som

“I found my fated mate five years ago, before you came into my life. The worst part was that she was already mated to her chosen mate.” Draven chuckled bitterly, his voice carrying years of pain. Angela kept staring at Jenny’s photo on his phone. “She loved that man so much that she rejected me, Angela. She rejected me before I even had the chance to tell her how I felt. I chased after her. I tried to make her understand that the Moon Goddess had tied our fates together, but she refused to listen. She denied destiny itself.” Draven sighed and lifted his gaze to the starless sky, remembering the night she had broken his heart with a simple apology. Angela remained silent. How could someone do that? Then the answer came to her. Hadn't she accepted Gideon as her chosen mate before either of them knew they were fated? Among royals and Alphas, it was tradition to marry a chosen mate after reaching a certain age if a fated mate hadn't appeared. The same had happened with Gideon. As Al

“Angela, where have you been? I've been searching for you everywhere!”Angela halted mid-step when Nora’s anxious voice called out from behind her. Turning around, she found Nora practically hurrying toward her, concern etched deeply across her face.“I was talking to Draven, What happened?”Nora stopped in front of her and immediately handed over a phone. “You forgot this.It kept ringing nonstop, so I started looking for you.”Taking the phone from her friend, Angela glanced at the screen. Several missed calls and unread messages instantly caught her attention. Most were from Orion and Lisa. A strange unease settled inside her chest.She quickly opened Orion’s message.‘Don't come outside, Princess. Something came up. Lisa has secured the Packhouse. Stay inside until further notice.’ Her brows knitted together. Something came up?No explanation. No details.Angela immediately typed a reply. ‘Okay. But what's wrong?’ She already knew Gideon wouldn't bother explaining anything. The

“The hunting ceremony of the full moon will end in an hour. Alpha sent me to look after you until then, Luna,” Nick informed Angela.She nodded dismissively. “You can do whatever you want. I don’t need you right now, Nick. If I do, I’ll call for you.” He bowed and silently left the room. “So, we have one hour to do this,” Angela mused, turning to Nora, who stood with her arms crossed and an unimpressed expression. “Don’t you already have proof? We can just show it to the Alpha, Angela.” Nora sighed and dropped onto the sofa. She had nearly fallen asleep beside the children when Angela burst into Axel’s room with a guard in tow and dumped the entire story on her. “We can, but I want to know more about Daniela’s sins, Nora. I want to know what they’ve done besides plotting against me. I’m certain there’s more. And why is Jordan dancing on her fingers!” “Are we playing Sherlock Holmes now? Did you forget the Alpha’s warning?”Angela narrowed her eyes. “Are you on my side or his?” “

If it weren't for the sofa beneath her, Angela was certain her legs would have given out. Her heart hammered violently against her ribs as she sat frozen, the same dreadful feeling from the forest creeping back into her bones. From the corner of her eye, she watched the man's torso while desperately thinking of her next move. The suffocating silence in the room pressed against her chest. Then Nick slowly poured red wine into a glass. The soft trickle echoed through the room, hitting her nerves. She needed time. Until Gideon and Orion arrived. Lowering her phone's volume, she secretly dialed Gideon’s number before clearing her throat. "You see, I would never want to lose you as a friend, but what you did was wrong. And having Daniela by your side was even worse, Jordan." ‘Damn you, Gideon. Pick up.’ When the call went unanswered, she immediately dialed Orion. The moment he answered, she locked the screen and casually played with the phone in her hand. "You should know that I al
