Luna’s Goodbye to Her Deceitful Alpha Chapter 09

Luna’s Goodbye to Her Deceitful Alpha Chapter 09

One year later. 

William and I held a grand bonding ceremony on 

Evernight Grove territory. 

We invited leaders from every major pack. So 

many pack members came to give us their sincere 

blessings. 

As we marked each other, something caught the corner of my eye. Behind a thorn bush, half–hidden behind the trees, stood a familiar figure. 

It was Sebastian. He was thin beyond recognition. 

Gaunt. Hollow. Like a hopeless ghost. 

My heart didn’t waver. 

Our eyes met for one second. Then I turned back to William, my mate, without a shred of doubt. 

I met his warm gaze, and my heart swelled with 

love and hope. 

William slid a simple platinum band onto my 

finger. 

It had no flashy moonstone. But it had more 

weight than anything Sebastian had ever sent me. 

It made me feel safe. 

We kissed as the pack members cheered, declaring ourselves mates before everyone. 

On the other side, Sebastian watched it all. 

He saw the happiness on my face. Unconcealed. 

Unashamed. He saw the adoration in William’s 

eyes. He saw the quiet understanding between us -a language that needed no words. 

Every smile I gave. Every look I shared with 

William. It all cut into him like a knife, tearing him 

apart piece by piece. 

Finally, he understood. 

It was over. 

He hadn’t lost me. He had killed the Nicole who 

loved him. With his own hands. 

And then he was forced to watch her rise from the 

ashes in another Alpha’s arms. 

The world he had blown up for one year of 

so–called “freedom” could never be rebuilt. 

He turned and stumbled away like a puppet with 

its strings cut. 

As for Logan, his partner in crime? He got kicked 

out of the pack medical center. His reputation was 

ruined. 

The other pack members? After that scandal, their 

mates abandoned them. Their once–normal, happy 

lives turned into a muddy mess. 

Time passed. 

William and I built a beautiful family together. I 

gave him two pups. A boy and a girl. 

I helped William protect and care for the weaker wolves in the pack. The pack members loved me 

for it. 

My life was full. Happy. 

And Sebastian? He became a lone rogue wolf. 

Every year on my birthday–the day that was supposed to be our bonding day–he sat alone in 

the dark. He watched the videos of us when we 

were in love. Before he “lost his memory.” Over 

and over again. 

Ten years after bonding with William. 

The two pups were playing happily in the pack house. Our family was getting ready to leave for 

Crescent Shores. 

William’s Beta came to give us news. Stonevein 

Pack, after losing their Alpha and watching their 

strength plummet, had no choice but to disband. 

That afternoon, I got a message from an unknown 

number. It was Logan. 

He was working as a pack doctor in some remote 

pack land now. 

The message was short. “He’s gone. A rogue pack 

attack. He didn’t make it.” 

I stared at that message for a long time. 

No sadness rose in my chest. No satisfaction 

either. Just a quiet, settled calm. 

The last ghost of my past had finally faded away. 

I looked out the window. My children were chasing 

each other in the garden. Their laughter was clear 

as bells. 

William came up behind me. His arms wrapped 

around my waist. His chin rested gently on my 

shoulder. 

“What is it?” he asked, his voice soft. 

I leaned back into his warm embrace. That solid 

embrace had been my safest harbor for ten years. 

I shook my head. Turned my face to his. Pressed a 

kiss to his lips. 

“Nothing,” I said. “I was just thinking… I’m lucky I 

found you.” 

Outside, the sun was shining. My children were 

laughing. 

The storms I once thought would drown me? They 

were nothing more than passing clouds.
