Emerging from the depths of the forest, Sidonnie’s hand intertwined with mine and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief wash over me. The moonlight cast a serene glow upon us as we walked in silence, the weight of our recent ordeal still heavy on my mind.
I couldn’t shake the feeling of unease, the memory of Sidonnie’s transformation lingering like a shadow in the back of my thoughts. Who would have thought that our wedding night would come with such a precious gift as the Blue Moon?
“Sidonnie, how do you feel about what happened?” I finally broke the silence, my curiosity and concern bubbling to the surface.
She paused for a moment, her expression thoughtful as she considered her response. When she spoke, her voice held a quiet strength that sent a shiver down my spine. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“I feel…different. More powerful, less fearful,” she replied. “It’s like I have this inner strength, this conviction that I can conquer anything that comes my way.”
I couldn’t help but admire her resilience, her unwavering determination to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
“You’ve always been strong, Sidonnie,” I murmured, my admiration evident in my voice.
But she shook her head, smiling.
“It’s different this time, Carlyle. I feel it in my very core. I feel…stronger than usual. I feel like I can conquer so many things right now.”
Her words filled me with a sense of awe.
“Then take it as a gift, my dear,” I said softly, reaching out to squeeze her hand. “Take it as a gift from the goddess on the day you ascended as Moon Shadow Luna.’
“I hope so.” She muttered
And as we continued our journey together, hand in hand under the moonlit sky, I knew that a lot was bound to

change after that transformation of hers. If the transition was a blessing or otherwise, it was difficult and still too
early to tell. I could only hope for the best.
We continued walking ahead and suddenly, a shadow loomed ahead, and we both paused in our tracks, instinctively wary of what might unfold.
“Sidonnie, isn’t that…?” I began, my voice trailing off as we both turned our attention to the figure standing before us, blocking our path.
“Yes, it is. We weren’t hallucinating.”
Slowly, almost hesitantly, the dark-clothed figure turned to face us, pulling back the hood of the robe that concealed her features. And as recognition dawned upon us, shock rippled through our veins.
“It can’t be…” Sidonnie whispered, her voice barely above a breath.
But there she stood, unmistakable in her presence, despite the cloak of mystery that surrounded her. It was Raina! Her eyes met ours with an intensity that sent a chill down my spine.
“Raina…” I breathed, my mind racing with a whirlwind of emotions and questions as I and Donnie exchanged glances.
What was she doing here, and why had she appeared before us now, in the dead of night, shrouded in darkness and secrecy?
Raina’s giggles echoed through the night air, as we stood before her, her presence casting a dark shadow over
us.
“Surprised to see me, aren’t you?” she taunted, her voice dripping with smugness.
Sidonnie wasted no time in questioning her. “What are you doing here in the middle of the night, Raina? And in this secluded part of the pack?”
But Raina only smirked, reveling in the sense of power she held over us. With the way she acted, she definitely had something in mind. Something dangerous.
“You’ve underestimated me, haven’t you? But oh, how I love to prove just how smart I am.”
My instincts kicked in as I stepped forward. “What do you want, Raina? And does Rex know you’re here?”

The mention of her brother’s name seemed to strike fear into Raina’s heart, as fear showed on her face before
she regained her composure. It was clear to me then that she was acting on her own accord, a fact that both
intrigued and unnerved me.
As we stood there, locked in a tense standoff beneath the moonlit sky, I knew that whatever Raina’s intentions may be, we needed to tread carefully. In the politics of werewolves, trust was a rare commodity, and betrayal lurked around every corner.
“That’s right, how did you find your way here? This place is not open to strangers.” Donnie backed up my words.
“Oh, take it easy, Luna. Don’t get antsy.”
Raina’s coy response only served to further stoke the flames of Sidonnie’s frustration. “Now, which of your questions should I answer first?”
“Answer any question you want, Raina, but make it quick,” Sidonnie snapped, getting impatient.
With a smirk, Raina began to respond, her words dripping with arrogance as she addressed each question in turn.
“You asked how I knew where you are? That’s easy! I made the preparations earlier in the day when I and my brother congratulated you, all it took was a trail insence made of my blood. Wherever it was, I would know. Simple!”
Sidonnie checked around her trying to get the said material but Raina only laughed crazingly.
“You don’t need to worry, I took it away from you already. It has served it’s purpose.” She rolled her eyes at Sidonnie.
However, her final response sent a chill down Sidonnie’s spines, her intentions becoming all too clear.
“About what I want…I’m here to collect what belongs to
determination.
me,” Raina declared, her eyes glinting with
The tension hung thick in the air as Sidonnie and Raina faced off, their gazes locked in a battle of wills. Standing between them, I watched as the confrontation unfolded.
“Answer the question, Raina! What do we have that to you?” Sidonnie questioned with anger, knowing
fully well where Raina was going to.

Raina’s smirk only widened as she met Sidonnie’s glare with a steely resolve of her own.
With a hint of malice, she fired at Donnie.

“Of course, you know what I mean. I’m here to remove any stumbling blocks in my path, Sidonnie. And that includes you.”
Donnie’s eyes narrowed in disbelief, her fists clenched at her sides as she struggled to maintain her composure.
“How dare you! This pack is mine by right, and I won’t let you or anyone else threaten what I’ve built here! Everything including what you are here for.”
Raina’s laughter rang out, a cruel sound that cut through the silence like a knife..
“Oh, Sidonnie, you’re so naive. You think you can stand in my way? You’re nothing but a pawn in my game.” Raina mocked.
I stepped forward, trying to diffuse the escalating tension as it was creating a scene and I didn’t want them to attract unnecessary attention.
“Enough, both of you!” I said, but my words fell on deaf ears as they continued to lock horns, their animosity threatening to tear the pack apart at its seams.
The air cra ckled with tension as the confrontation escalated, both women standing their ground, their resolve unwavering. It was a battle of wills, a clash between the rightful Luna and the obsessor with a dangerous agenda.
As the argument reached a fever pitch, I couldn’t help but feel torn between the two women before me, knowing that the outcome of their confrontation would have far-reaching consequences for us all if I didn’t take action.
Using the mate bond, I forced Sidonnie to head to my instruction by shutting her up after soothing her with romantic words through the mind link.
Then, I stepped in front of Raina with a glare.
“You need to stop being obsessed with something that’s not true, Raina. I’m not yours, I wasn’t yours, and I’ll never be yours.” I warned. “Let it sink into your head.”
Raina’s expression twisted with rage at my words, her desperation to possess me evident in her every gesture.

“You must be joking!” She yelled furiously.
With a sudden movement, Raina flung a small bottle towards Sidonnie, chanting strange words as she did so.
Panic grips my heart as I shouted for Sidonnie to shift back and dodge the incoming threat. But to my surprise, Sidonnie stood her ground, her gaze unwavering as if she had been expecting the attack all along.
With urgency, I instructed her to dodge the attack but she refused, not moving an inch
“Donnie, shift back! Get out of the way!”
Donnie remained rooted to the spot, with determination oozing from her. And just as the bottle was about to strike her, it suddenly stopped in mid-air, suspended by some unseen force before dropping to the ground, shattered.
My eyes widened in astonishment as I realized what just happened. Sidonnie had somehow, in ways I couldn’t explain, thwarted Raina’s attack with her own strength and resilience.
Just when I thought it has all ended, the contents of the bottle she had flung at us seemed to have a sinister purpose, gathering into a ball before lunging at Raina with deadly intent.
In a horrifying turn of events, Raina began to attack herself, her movements erratic and uncontrollable. It was clear that whatever she had unleashed upon herself was beyond her control.
Suddenly, she dropped down flat on the ground. It came as a shock at first but realization soon set in when she didn’t stand up after about three minutes.
Sidonnie and I rushed to her side, to check what went wrong. Squatting beside her seemingly lifeless body, I checked her pulse, hoping against hope that there was still a chance to save her. But as I felt for any sign of life, the truth became painfully clear.
“She’s dead,” I muttered, the words heavy on my tongue as I looked into Sidonnie’s eyes.
