Three years ago, the Silver Moon Pack and Stardust pack announced their upcoming alliance through marriage.
These were two of the wealthiest and most powerful packs in the werewolf world. With their heirs becoming mates, both packs would reach unprecedented heights of strength and prestige.
I’d harbored a secret crush on Ferris since childhood. Learning I’d become his Luna had sent me over the moon.
But just as the sacred ceremony had ended, and I was still immersed in the nervousness and anticipation of my wedding night, Ferris handed me a contract-
I was stunned.
“I’m in love with someone else. Her name is Ashley Carter. Since she’s an omega, my father refuses to let her become my Luna.”
His tone was cold, his words brutally direct. “I need three years to become Silver Moon’s true Alpha. After that, no one will dare oppose our union.”
“For these three years, we’ll just play the role of husband and wife. Then we divorce.”
That night, I signed as he wished, then cried in the bathroom until dawn.
But less than three months after our wedding, Ashley vanished without a trace after a fight with Ferris.
Ferris went crazy searching for her. He pulled every string, used every connection, but found nothing.
During that period, he’d stay out all night, coming home reeking of alcohol with terrifyingly dark eyes.
Until one night, he stumbled home completely wasted and pinned me to the bed.
His kiss crashed down on me, heavy with alcohol, but he whispered, “Ashley… why did you leave? Why are you with someone else? Don’t you trust me?”
My entire body went rigid. My heart felt like someone was crushing it in their fist–the pain nearly suffocating.
So… he’d found her.
But Ashley was with someone else now.
That night was my first time, yet Ferris held me while calling another woman’s name until sunrise.
The next morning, Ferris saw the blood on the sheets. His eyes flickered with something unreadable, but he said nothing.
I acted like nothing had happened, preparing his fresh clothes and even gently reminding him about his important meeting before he left.
I pretended everything was fine, but inside, I was bleeding out.

Alpha’s Regret: False Mate. True Luna
1.0%
Chapter 2
Married for three years, secretly married for three years. The Silver Moon wolves knew their Alpha had taken a Luna, but only a select few knew her name or what she looked like.
I didn’t care about any of that. From then on, I became even more careful about taking care of Ferris.
Ferris was always buried in pack business, frequently skipping meals. At night, his stomach would cramp with excruciating
pain.
So I’d wake before dawn every day, spending hours brewing medicinal herb soup.
When he was exhausted, I learned massage techniques to ease his tension.
He loved quiet, so I never made noise around him. I hid my naturally cheerful, sunny personality and even softened my footsteps.
Gradually, Ferris seemed to accept me as his mate.
He started giving me small gifts on holidays.
When I fell ill, he’d personally hunt down rare herbs based on the healer’s prescriptions.
He’d even hold me close during the night, his palm pressed against my waist, his body heat scorching.
Ferris never mentioned divorce again, as if that agreement had never existed.
I was naive enough to believe that maybe, just maybe, he could learn to love me.
Until three months ago, Ashley suddenly returned to the Silver Moon Pack.
